Quick question for you. Which Scottish team has won their last four home games, scoring 13 goals in the process? St Mirren are on a run of form at home. One of those wins was against Second Division opposition, but remember, this season, Second Division teams are on a par with AC Milan in the early 90s.
Ross County scored four at St Mirren Park but St Mirren scored five, while Hearts were despatched 2-0. This is a team with good home form who kept their squad in place over the international break. My best advice to you is to avoid betting on this one.
Many clubs have trouble paying their bills but the problem with Hearts and their regular tardiness when it comes to wages, evident again this month, appears to be different. Hearts cash balances will have peaked weeks, possibly months, ago. From now on they will be eating into ‘reserves’, or more likely, accruing additional debt at their owner’s bank. The club have been here many times before and Vlad has dipped into the equivalent of his commercial pocket to avoid an insolvency event but I’ve always found it curious why he didn’t do so on time. It’s not as though anyone can be surprised pay day is coming.
As such, there appears to be a degree of control over late payment. The money is always provided but not before pain is passed down from owner to earners, which is a bit curious.
For all his faults, and they are many, Romanov and other shareholders in Ukio Bankas have ‘invested’ countless millions in Hearts, money they are unlikely to get back with the residential property market so depressed. They have also not exposed the club to outrageous fortune – the overwhelming majority of debt is owed to the bank itself, balances at HMRC and other creditors are low, and they pay their football debts. This means that if Hearts go into administration, the route back through a CVA would be clear. The only serious losers would be staff made redundant, while Ukio would face a write-off, perhaps already acknowledged internally.
I was surprised at the news Danny McGrain was appointed first team coach yesterday but also delighted. Danny’s was not a name mentioned for the position when Alan Thompson left the club but he is immersed in the fabric and culture of our club. ‘In the days of changing ways’ a strong thread of continuity is an invaluable asset in ensuring the new generations acquire the important elements of our identity.
We are a club in touch with all that is important.

Evening Bhoys and Ghirls
Quiz will start at 9:15 pm tonight, to allow you to do 2 things.
1)Be inspired and read the most recent post (again?) from Wee Oscar’s mother and the reaction from our friends in Philly.
http://oscarknox.blogspot.co.uk/
2)With that inspiration, promise that you are going to do something (else) to help our wee Celtic warrior and their family continue their battle against all odds.
If you need any help or support with an idea to assist Wee Oscar you can contact us at the email address below.

Only drawing attention to the way barca use their full backs
He would be a shoe in.
not knocking you….he could have played for anyone……amazing player
Danny McGrain
Funny every time his name is mentioned – I have a mental picture of Love Street.
For all his games (European/ International) – that goal started by him – 5/6 passes and 5th goal always springs to mind. A title snatched at the death epitomises much about our Club and how we play football and why I regard him so highly.
Have seen him (off the park) on a number of occasions but he took me by surprise in Seville. I was in company – came across – asked me how I was and chatted to our company. A wonderful Ambassador for our Club.
I wish him well.
The Boy Jinky.
The La Laterna is booked for 6.30 pm – 7.00pm,
CQN grapevine has worked again.

Great day in Maestro household.
Mrs M & Miss M got home, eventually, from New York.
Master M got his 1st job since leaving uni, engineering in deepest, darkest, hunland (Ayrshire), big hopes.
Me, i got an invite to hospitality at St Mirren Park tomorrow, due to a late call off. Don’t mind being a late sub.
Off to line my tummy with cava & wine.
The Boy Jinky
Great to hear from you. Look after yourself and those you love.

You do feel for this family, I remember them joining my team outside CP for the appeal and chatting away to them.
It makes it all the more real. God bless them.
Celtic First.
I was telling a lie.
BT and Zbyszek trailed me round the churches of Warsaw, And Pope John Paul’s diocese in Crakov (sp) lovely Churches but they (BT & Z) drove me to the drink

Thanks for love st link ,went on a youtube trip after it and came across this again

Fritzsong @ 15.30,
Just read your comment: glad that someone’s read my post.
When you say that you’ve not been in the SNP, you say it all: if you’d been in, you’d likely have had similar experiences to mine.
Re the Falklands, I supported the Brits – because Argentina was the aggressor. Wolfe’s infamous outburst of that time was about the Papal visit, for which he was shot down in flames by the entire SNP establishment. Re MacAskill, I don’t know what you’re on about, but I do remember that when he was still a pal of Jim Sillars (remember him?), he shared his very positive views about Catholic schools. As for the stupid woman & the songs, the SNP has its share of idiots male & female, but I’ve no idea to whom you refer.

Ref your enquiry re on line booking.
Normally if travelling to games or holiday either me or my pal continue to submit booking info until it takes as I have found the 24 hour to be a guide.
I have time yet for Barca as we leave 08:00 Monday.
PS I can recommend Les Quinze Nity ( The Fifteenth Night )in Placa Real which is LH side going down Las Ramblas turn left after KFC.
Excellent food and not over priced,dont be put off if there is a Q its a sort of trademark they encourage.
Safe Journey.

I’d reply to you and others regarding Independence but the quiz is about to start and I don’t want to disrupt it. People want to have their fun and it is Friday night.
Believe me, I have plenty to say and plenty stuff I’ve read on here has made me look at the screen in amazement and I have plenty of rebuttal but as I say it’s Friday, there’s a quiz and people don’t need this right now tonight.
The Boy Jinky.
I’m not encouraging you to drink,I hope.
Oldtim67
That’s not how I’ve heard it (LOL)
Stand down Joseph Goebbels you are a fraud and pale into insignificance compared to Lindsay Herron from the official zombie site:
RANGERS are poised to smash their own world record for a fourth tier game tomorrow when they face Queen’s Park at Ibrox.
And manager Ally McCoist says they must deliver the right result for the extraordinary crowd that is set to descend upon the stadium.
There were barely 1000 tickets left this afternoon which is utterly incredible and Rangers are now on course to surpass the 49,118 attendance which was recorded for the East Stirlingshire game on August 18.
Boss Ally McCoist said: “The players are amazed and pleased at the expected turn-out for the Queen’s Park game – I believe it’s close to a sell-out and that’s mind-blowing.
“So they know what is expected of them. The supporters deserve a performance from them and I’m very hopeful they will get that.
Well, why let the truth get in the way of propaganda. They deserve all they get…… just off to make a few more pledges.
Hail! Hail! PMTYH

I had this amazing vision as you described barca … Then you threw kfc in and boom i was back in glasgow

Never pal…. It will be my pleasure to have a few beers with a man who has my utmost respect … ;)

I’m going with BT,and he seems to love tapas bars,The best tapas is in the big Market on Las Ramblas, I’ve been in that market and you can’t get fresher meat or veg,10 seconds from the pan. You should try it. Recommended.

Interesting. As the sub text of my post at 19.55 alludes, they are happy to persue ruthlessly an individual of foreign extraction, practising a sport that is not widely followed in this country. Whilst Lance Armstrong is very obviously in the wrong here, I can’t help but feel sorry for the guy.
If/when the extinct football club from the Goven is found guilty of defrauding the exchequer of tens of millions of pounds and been shown to have improperly registered players, thereby conferring a significant competive advantage over the rest of their, will our “journalists” be as willing to hound those responsible??
I’m not holding my breath.
