Now, this is a story all about how My life got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you just how the SPFL expelled us to play diddies like Ayr... The Heart of Mid-Lothian born and raised In Tynecastle was where I spent most of my days Whinning' out ranting' relaxin' I'm a fool And all kicking some football outside of the school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Doncaster was making trouble in my neighborhood We lost a little relegation fight and Budge got scared She said ' we're no movin' to the championship to play the likes if fuckin Ayr... She begged and pleaded with SPFL day after day But the SPFL packed hearts suit case and sent them on their way.. She gave them a kiss and then she gave them a lawsuit I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'. Effin Championship, yo this is bad.......

I haven't paid for anything using cash since March and would happily never do so again. Also, Tim Martin is an utter c**t who won't ever be getting another penny out of me.

Joe Dolce, 1981.

I won’t hear a word said against Grant Anderson. Hard worker, strong, quick, wins headers. Can use him to stretch a stuffy defence as a striker or track a dangerous winger up and down the park for 90 minutes. Players like Nathan Flanagan or Chris Johnston are much better at playing football but there’s only one man you’d have in your squad from those three.

International fitba' thread for this pish. Let's get back to wishing bad things on Heart of Fudlothian. Thank you.

Guy's clearly forgot to put his windows down when he's put the heating up full blast.

Actually, it’s fucking embarrassing tbh. I’ve greenied more Dees in the past month, than I have in my whole previous time on P&B. Everyone’s mutual disgust at your club’s atrocious behaviour has brought the rest of us together in ways we never thought possible. Hurry the f**k up and get doon, so we can all get back to slagging each other off again.

With just 2 recorded deaths in 12 days, I hope the "deadly virus" soundbite is heard less and less going forward. A virus isn't deadly if it isn't killing people. I'm fine with the restrictions we have in terms of facemasks etc remaining in place, but I am keen now to hear more positive messaging about how we are going to utilise these to get supporters back into sports stadia, to start planning for the return of indoor events, and how we are going to get public gatherings back on the agenda. I don't mean restart these tomorrow, but we also shouldn't be sitting in a couple of months time no further forward on these issues.

A wee trip to Pitlochry and a lovely lunch in the pub. Cheers

I'm loving the irony of a Hearts fan complaining about the page count of this thread, when it's been inflated massively by painfully dull Hearts fans desperately trying the thread the needle by repeating the same tired old arguments that had been debunked months ago. It's a shame that P&B no longer shows who has posted most on a thread.

This isn't a thread about Hearts, it's a thread about league reconstruction.

Hearts won that. The war I mean, they were shite at football.

Does anyone else do this, or is it just me?? My wife will occasionally buy me socks for my work, and usually gets a 5 or 6 pack of plain, black ones. Usually, they have small flashes of colour on them, usually on the heel. She gets really annoyed because I will refuse to wear any black socks that also have orange on them! I now have a drawer with three or four pairs of unworn, black socks with orange flashes on them. Is it just me, or am I justified in not wearing those two colours together, even if no-one else can see them?

As my memory rests But never forgets Albert Kidd Wake me up when September ends Summer has come and passed The Hearts case can never last Wake me up when September ends Bring out the fines again Like we did when Budge began Wake me up when September ends Here comes the Dees again Stopping the title charge Drenched in Jambo tears again Coming behind the Pars

Ann Budge has fines to pay Our glamour game's Arbroath away Wake me up when September ends

Aye he was wrong .

I’ve not drank for 4 and a half years, and I went bald not long before that so today has got bugger all to get me excited about.

Because at the end of the day for all their bluster and shite-talking neither Celtic nor Rangers have actually carried through with their empty threats, primarily because they know the English FA wouldn’t take them and secondly because if they did they’d be getting pumped sideways every week off teams like Wigan! Whereas, there was a specific rule stating you couldn’t go to court without going through arbitration first and your fucknugget of a CEO thought “Screw that, I’m doing it anyway!” That’s a breach of the terms and conditions your club signed up for as a member of the SFA and likely constitutives a breach of contract as well. You deserve everything the SFA throw at you! Nice of you to drag Partick down with you though! And before you come back with ‘Lord Clark said this...’, I listened to the whole proceedings, and he said nothing of the sort. He merely said that it might be something to look at potentially in future, but I doubt a court would overturn such a contractual obligation which had such clearly detailed consequences and yet your club signed up for. You didn’t stand up for yourselves, you shot you own foot off with a shotgun to prove how “hard” you were, and then complained when you realised the weapon was loaded and blamed someone else for your injuries! I’d recommend you just go back under whatever bridge from whence you came...

Nae bother. He's a heartless c**t and you know it.

The (un)subtle difference is of course Chester City FC were liquidated and the NEW club were formed with a change of name to reflect that situation. None of that ‘it was the company, not the club’ bullshit. See also Hereford, Halifax, Aldershot, Wrexham, Gretna and several others. I can think of only one Clumpany who sail serenely on denying the reality their ‘reformation’.

I'd happily throw our budget at TxRover if he promised never to use americanisms ever again.

Sorry to hear that mate.

The pizza express in Woking excuse is just so ridiculous. I’m fairly certain, regardless of how far back it was, the staff would remember the queen’s son coming in for a bit of pepperoni. Although, being a sexual deviant I’d imagine he asked for mango as a topping.

I’m incredulous that Hearts and Partick Thistle are incredulous. I'm astonished that Leslie Deans Is astonished.

Harp of Midlothian does have a ring to it.

I say it all the time, but what happened to plain old instant judgement based on nothing much? Who looked at him and said "he's the man for the job" or "I like his style"? Never mind actually listening to the cünt.

It looks quite big but it doesn't look like it has the appropriate tools to take down a fence.

That tournament is the reason Dundee United wear tangerine. We wore mainly white with black strips. Wore tangerine strips (socks,tops and shorts) with blue numbers while playing as Dallas Tornados. Jerry Kerr's wife liked the colour and suggested it for the home strip and changed to it in '69. The rest as they say is history.

"Transport for London (TfL) said the art was removed "some days ago" in line with its "strict anti-graffiti policy". The work, called If You Don't Mask, You Don't Get, features a number of rats in pandemic-inspired poses and wearing face masks. One rodent stencilled on the Circle Line train appears to be sneezing, while another is shown spraying anti-bacterial gel. The artist's name is also daubed across the driver's door of a train. The statement from TfL said it appreciated "the sentiment of encouraging people to wear face coverings". "We'd like to offer Banksy the chance to do a new version of his message for our customers in a suitable location," it added." That unfunny, derivative, flatulent w****r Banksy should be facing a jail sentence for trespass and vandalism, not being invited to spray walls with his unoriginal pish. Pity he wasn't Brazilian, some Met Cop might have shot him.

He is. But rumour is he's always wanted to play for Raith...

Wonder what you planned to browse after the bookie’s site?

Weirdly, I actually woke up to that Tones and I song in my head. SlipperyP and I must be "in sync". And a lovely full boat (10) for your Cardinal as well. Today is going to be a good day. I can feel it in my juices.

If anyone would like a list of all the famous Bugs Bunny quotes, I can send it to you as a WhatsApp doc.

Considering they won't be playing any competitive football until October then I think this Green Day song would be more appropriate for Hearts.

And to think, if Thistle had sat this one out: Hearts would have been entirely on the hook for the SPFL's legal fees in the Court of Session Thistle would still have been able to make representations to the arbitration panel (much like the other Clubs even though they aren't directly parties to the dispute) if this was thought necessary the panel would still have had access to exactly the same evidence as before, as ordered by the Court of Session only Hearts would now be facing SFA disciplinary proceedings in the aftermath of any tribunal decision Thistle would definitely not be facing even a fine for a breach of Article 99, because they, um, wouldn't have done so if Hearts got expelled from the SFA some point in August, they would cease to be able to participate in SPFL or SFA competition that would have reduced the Championship to 9 teams, but before the late October season start ... meaning that in all probability Thistle would have ended up back in the Championship regardless of the outcome of the arbitration panel's decision! ETA: on which note I'm beginning to think that Stranraer have played, and I believe the technical term for this is, "a fucking blinder".

I think a lot of people might overlook the role Dylan Tait could play next season. He was excellent at league 1 level and I doubt any of us would put it past him to kick on and do similar to Bowie if given the chance and with hard work. He looks an outstanding talent.

Todd drink in your local does he?

Hardly surprising your mate was made redundant. Presumably he was only ever busy in July and January.

I go to games on my jack all the time. Maybe half the games I attend are on my tod. Especially away from home. It's not sad. It's an excellent way to view the game* *in that neither of my children are climbing on my head, or punching/kicking eachother with me as referee for the entire duration I am gone.

I’m going to hell but this is the funniest BBC pidgin I’ve ever seen. https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/world-50165017

Young players in general don't always follow a straight line in development. Every chance he will have learned important lessons in his brief spell at Albion Rovers that pay dividends in the long run. If you had told certain fans that one day Kevin Nisbet would be bought by Hibs after a sensational season in the league for Dunfermline, you'd have been thought quite mad. If you'd told some fans that Lawrence Shankland would get a game for Scotland, or even for Dundee United, or be the transfer target of a number of clubs in england, you'd have been laughed out the room. There's nothing to gain from trying to read into his career thus far. He's a player with potential, it would seem. How far he takes that remains to be seen, but there is nothing substantive to be gleaned from his career to date. Hopefully he blossoms at Airdrie. He could fail to make the grade, he could quickly outgrow us. We shall but see.

Will be interesting to see how Mbayo develops; unless there's a formation shift in the offing, or a change in how the lad is utilised, it is difficult to see his starting ahead of Fordyce or Crighton, at least as things stand. Have to say i'm very pleased with the business done so far and the shape of the squad; we do look like needing a few more bodies in central midfield, as @airdrieman and others have said including a box-to box mid and a creative source, but still time between now and early October to get business done, with loans to come as alluded to. That we have kept a good number of the successes from last season on, keeping in turn the lions share of a squad that by all accounts made for a very good dressing room, and added some young talent to it, is really heartening. Roll on October, lads and lassies.

£1m and termination of membership it is then.

I felt a version of Basket Case might work, too, and then realised the lyrics were already perfect: Do you have the time to listen to me whine About nothing and everything all at once? I am one of those Melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it

The Wallace Duffy hatred on here is brutal. A lad who had zero first team experience when he joined Saints as one for the future, but due to poor recruitment and injuries was thrown into a position he'd hardly played before. He was nowhere near ready, but then in the first four months of last season all of our defenders were having regular howlers so he was hardly alone in that. He's just turned 21, deserves a wee bit of encouragement.
