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.

I remember when Bt ,Mwds, and me had a wee session on the Malt. and we were sniffing the Malt as you would do the old wine,the only thing I ever got a whiff off was Peat it could have been that George Peate was sitting near us, as it stunk awful.
I have had a swallow of Buckfast and ran it round my mouth and spat it out,never will drink buckie again.

I have supported my Celtic all my life and been a season ticket holder for many. I have never heard any abuse of the Ibrox disaster and have no wish to hear or read any words that may desecrate that very sad event. I believe people like Leggat want to abuse our support by bringing it up. Do not give him the oxygen !! May all who suffered on that day rest in peace. No more posts on this subject. !!

NegAnon2 @ 16.00,
Thanks for accepting that, having been in the SNP, what I say about it is true.
You say that your point isn’t about the SNP – well, mine was. Of course I’m also concerned about sectarianism in this country: I see nothing “latent” about it – what evidence is there that independence would “unfetter” it ?
I am no defender of Salmond: I see his remarks about the sevconians as an attempt to win votes, but as no more sinister than that. Someone posted here that both Salmond & Cameron were worried about “another Ulster” in Scotland: if true, that makes his motives not entirely ignoble, even if both of them were guilty of sloppy thinking about how to deal with the situation.
I don’t know what you mean by “the new bill to introduce political sectarianism”, so I also don’t know what it says about Scotland.
I have no intention of making you laugh about smears against the SNP. The fact that it has its unbalanced defenders means absolutely nothing re smears against it. There is a section of the “bloggerage” on CQN which persists in smears about the “anti-Catholic origins & practices” of the Party. In accepting that what I’ve said about the SNP is true, you also accept that those smears are just that. I’ve begun to think that the smear-mongers have a similar mindset to the huns: just as the latter can’t accept that their time as the established top team is over, so the former have difficulty in accepting that Labour may no longer be the Establishment party in Scotland – & they react in a similarly irrational manner.
Oldtim,
hope you and all the hoops fans enjoy the trip to Barcelona,
and remember dreams can come true;-))
