Don’t bet, tardy payers and immersed in our culture

1179

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 HUDDLE

     

     

    It is important to HMRC as it means they can go after other tax-fiddling clubs.

     

     

    It is important to us as it proves that we were cheated-and that they knew what they were doing.

     

     

    And I would love to see JABBA in particular spinning his way out of this one.

  2. My prediction

     

     

    HRMC announce tax result in their favour

     

    Back pages of papers has Fat Sally and Chuck talking about share issue

     

     

    Unless theres criminal charges it means nothing to me, I already know they cheated.

    I remember posting a link to David Ike’s site on here about a year ago, was ridiculed for it, Icke is this that etc, aye he is/was a dreamer, but for sure, he sniffs them out.

     

     

    His site is a wealth of info.

     

    ______________________________________________________________

     

     

    And he is the perfect government tool. BBC?

     

     

    I replied to M about David Icke, I will forward it on to your good self.

    I agree, how can the media spin the theft of millions…………….

     

     

    I for one am looking forward to seeing what they dream up, and it will be good :>)

     

     

    Time for bed.

     

     

    Take care and god bless Timland

    For an old pal,

     

     

    She took me in her perfect hand and led me to the stream

     

    invited me to drink from it and join her in a dream

     

    We gazed upon a mountain, a tower of gold and stone

     

    she left me with a smile and a loved one’s bones

     

     

    I lit a weakened candle and prayed to God on high

     

    and watched the tender smoke be born, and stretch, and feel, and die

     

    The prayers, so fat upon my lips, were starved before they fell

     

    so I turned unto the witches, and their ruthless spell

     

     

    Hope gave me the poison, and I drank it to the full

     

    and a short deficient blanket, to cover up the soul

     

    Faith, she sang the best of songs, in a long and empty hall

     

    but you, your own thoughts on your back, you never left at all

    Welcome back BMCUWP, I was asking after you just the other night. Have you been to sevconia fer yer holiday’s?

     

     

    The deid heids are indeed deid in the heid. Craig W is getting it tight on hun media right now with an abundance of vieled threats to his physical wellbeing being in the forefront of their gibberings.

     

     

    It’s good to laff………………………….Haw

    Cheers,bud-I noticed that one but could not post a reply at the time as I did not have my log-in details.

     

     

    It must have been frustrating for you to lose those posts because of multiple links.

     

     

    Speaking of links-how’s the gowf?

  8. (Mitchell was sacked for lying to the filth about calling them plebs.  George Young, his replacement, famously once said “The homeless are what you step over when you come out of the opera.”)

     

    Yeah….we all know what country we live in.

     

    Tomorrow the ConDems are in for a right kicking and there is not a single peep about it anywhere in the msm.

     

    There will be, once the spinmeisters tell them what to say.

    I saw a post earlier saying the result of the FTT was with duff and duffer, the hun and HMRC?

     

     

    For a long time now it’s been said that this result would be posted on the hmrc website. So how come the accused are privy to this info and it’s not as has been stated before, posted on the hmrc site?

     

     

     

    FFS, jist tell us so we can plan our halloween outfits.

    IMO,Mitchell was sacked as a warning shot from The 1922 Committee,reminding Cameron who REALLY runs The Conservative Party.

  11. Some things never get in the way for the aristos.

     

    From the entry for the baronet on Wikipedia:

     

    “In 1987 Young was banned from driving after being caught drink driving. It was reported that he smashed into a motorway barrier and continued on until stopped by police.”

  12. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    Playing in the morning Bob, but I’m not too fussed about my own game, young ACGR is foremost in my thoughts. He’s in the CGC junior final and tomorrow is his last game to get some turf and some confidence under his belt before the final. Its probably going to be played the sat after next. Young ceiler cant play next weekend as he’s at paradise sat and playing footie on sunday.

    Plus, a canny hit a coo’s erse wi a snow shovel at the minute, but thats another sad story. Well it is for me……………….Haw.

  13. Guys, chill your jets. Sir David told you they were absolutely assured of winning this one. He will, therefore, have popped a fizzy one tonight.

     

     

    In the spirit of fraternity with Dave, I’ve put a bottle of champagne in the fridge for the announcement.

  14. That picture of the baronet with his children……and Sir Jimmy……now looks so sinister. Has he not got an aide or two to monitor his own site?

     

    Or does he not care? In the true blue libertarian sense that so long as it doesn’t frighten the horses it’s okay?

     

    I give up. This country is being ripped off by cheesy morons and spivs.

  15. That twitter is ruining my social life I’ve got got golf the morra but after reading the KDS rumour I’ve cracked open another Fosters.

     

     

    Who needs golf when you’re biggest rivals are dead and jail time is on the way for Minty.

    paulsatim is neil lennon, thanks for the info.

     

     

    So we should know in a maximum of about 24 hours then if all parties have been informed:-)

     

     

    Wikileaks is hee haw by comparisson to wagging jock tongues.

  17. I thought Warnocks comments after Sheffield Wed v Leeds game were the most blatant whitabootery you’ll hear. “The lads gone down like a sack of potatoes”. Poor!

     

     

    More power to Dave Jones. Selective hearing needs to ne addressed.

  18. A Ceiler Gonof Rust on

    hen1rik, it’s that kind of attitude that ruined my swing, well that and thon flesh eating bug reported in the sunday sport a few years back.

     

     

    Its an excuse, I know, but I’m sticking to it.

  19. Things seem to be hoting up with deadco FTT case and sundry other malicious activities about to come to the fore.

     

     

    Can anyone confirm what the acceptable time parameter ( or window of opportunity as I believe is the current modern term ) is for calling the dead club cheats and robbers?

     

     

    I’m going for well past my lifetime, which, personally speaking, is good enough for me :))

    Hail! Hail!

  20. Interesting night:-))

     

     

    anyway you may have noticed from every news show on tv it is that time for remembrance of what should be all victims of war, this lets you do that as an alternative to being forced to being selective on remembrance.

  21. Unfortunately my local golf courses have been flooded, lovely Scottish weather, so I have no option but drink and watch football.

  22. I cannae wait to see the Champions play tomorrow against one of Scotlands most pessive teams.

     

     

    Efe needs to play as he is just getting accustomed (WOW.com) but we must not take any chances with wee Jimmy, Broonie or GEo.O…………..

     

     

     

     

    Crazy petec prediction.

    I’ve got a 1964 Glenburgie sitting in my cabinet that nearly got opened about four years ago.

     

     

    Now I’m torn between opening it when the hun loses the FTT or when we win the Champions league.

     

     

    One way or another it needs to be tanned and I’m not getting any younger.
