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.

The tribunal service said the result would be out in October. It’s now the 18th so it’s quite possible that the result has been communicated to the parties prior to publication and will be in the public domain next week.
Is anything happening football wise next week which might give the media something else to talk about?

I was at Elland Road in 1970 and Celtic definitely wore orange socks.
I will show you photographic evidence at the 5’s in the morning!
Don’t know if it has been mentioned earlier however 55 years ago today Celtic beat Rangers (1872 – 2012) 7-1.

I’ve mentioned both of them.
William Wolfe is the ex SNP leader who supported Britain in the Falklands war because Argentina was a Catholic country. He also made remarks in a similar vein about the visit of JP2.
Richard Wolff is the American economist (Marxist) who looks and sounds a bit like Danny Devito.

Of course I do I still have the scars but I think we should mark this as the dawn of a new era in actual sporting integrity and mark the achievement as a nation that respects sporting fairness above financial cheating and doping, progression.

Did Jock Stein not say that the socks would look orange under the floodlights and the fans would assume the players were wearing the colours of the Tricolour? Or was that a different game?

Cardiff FC to wear Black armbands at NFFC after today’s tragic events..??

@williammcmurdo Oh yes. Let’s go there. Let us discuss you getting caught out.
I wonder, if the latest rumours are indeed true, surely the news would eventually be leaked ahead of next week?
Despite knowing that it has to happen eventually, I won’t believe it until we see Jabba on tv desperately trying to explain how it doesn’t really matter and how his Master isn’t to blame.
JC2… Obviously that would be the daily record version ;-)

Taken 1 was pure trash, it was the movie that made me realise that the multi talented Oscar winning Liam Neeson is an awful actor. He plays the same character in every movie, he’s like John Wayne. I’m scared to rewatch Schindler’s List and hear Qui-Gon Jinn

One of the reasons I told about Luzniki disaster was that in many Russian sources this tragedy is compared to Ibrox disaster in 1971. Many similarities.
If I remember correctly, more than 40 of those 66 deats were under 19 years old. Many kids 16 or 17 years old.
Spartak players got the news about “something” that happened only next day. Haarlem players knew nothing until 1989.
Not one USSR media informed about tragic news. They informed about squads, scorers etc.
I thought the socks were red, but they looked orange on the tele due to the lights.
ernie lynch….
I have heard that too however I think it is a bit of an urban myth.
Apparently Celtic’s options were to wear either the orange socks or blue ones.
Not much of a choice!
Magnificentseven…aye he’s one.

Good luck to Celtic Soul Brother’s oldest (?) son who is refereeing his biggest game of his career to date later today. Manchester Utd Reserves beckons.
Lets hope he quickly rises through the ranks and then CSB gets him imported up here :0)
