  1. Nothing arranged yet for Scotland But the All Blacks aren't coming to Murrayfield Saturday 2 November England v New Zealand W/E 9 November England v Australia Ireland v New Zealand W/E 16 November England v South Africa France v New Zealand W/E 23 November England v Japan (Prob) Italy v New Zealand
  2. It’s why nobody missed Gary McSwegan when he left but everyone loves Cammy Devlin
  3. You know that old adage that you wait ages for a bus and then two come along at once... Well I'm assuming that beating the old firm in Glasgow works on a similiar basis (and why wouldn't it) so I can't see anything other than a hearts win here
  4. We did something similar in November 1918 although technically he was from Württemberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_Erzberger
  5. According to a story by George Hawthorne in The Guardian of 28 December 1966, the London correspondent of Pravda visited the Mayor of Berwick, Councillor Robert Knox, and the two made a mutual declaration of peace. Knox said, “Please tell the Russian people through your newspaper that they can sleep peacefully in their beds.”
  6. Jose Quitongo isn’t just a Hearts cult hero we share him with so many other lucky clubs
  7. To be fair they've clearly taken your issues on board and are trying to build a brand new stadium
  8. It feels as if Riordan's lack of professionalism was part of his appeal. He didn't appear to be trying which to some audiences would make him seem cooler and fit into the "maverick genius" archetype that everyone has a weakness for and Hibs fans seem daft for I have a theory that there's a cultural difference between the Hearts and Hibs support which means that relatively speaking we are a bit quicker to forgive a lack of ability and they're a bit quicker to forgive a perceived lack of effort.
  9. It's 5 according to TransferMarkt who are generally reliable on this kind of thing 13 Aug 2024: Kilmarnock (H), 30 17 Oct 2024: Hibs (H), 5 09 Dec 2024: Aberdeen (A),90+6 02 Jan 2024: Livingston (A),45+4 17 Feb 2024: Motherwell (H), 23 Lawrence Shankland - Stats 23/24 | Transfermarkt He also had 3 yellow cards in our 4 Europa the Conference League games
  10. Kilmanock's draw at Parkhead meant St Johnstone's title dream survived till this morning They'll be crying into their beer tonight in Perth after two late penalties sealed a three nil win for Rangers which not only ends St Johnstone's title charge but means they can't even take second place Motherwell can still catch Celtic on Goal Difference but they can no longer catch Rangers so their search for a second league title goes into it's 93rd year. The League is now an eight horse race Hearts need one more point to secure top 6 status
  11. By parallel universe you presumably mean 3rd of September last year
  12. Inconsequential on the day Although it is his 5th yellow of the season so there’s probably going to be a ban at some point
  13. Sorry I was getting drunk after watching real football But it was on in the background while we were deconstructing Calem Niuuwenhof’s Hearts career But it should suffice to say that Chelsea being a total wild card who could take points off anybody but can also lose heavily to just about anybody is a great addition to the TV format
  14. All the more reason to get behind Atletico Madrid They’ve already put Real Madrid in the large folder labelled “worse derby record than the JTs” where they belong they can put Inter’s undefeated streak to bed on Tuesday
  15. You’ve got to have a dream, if you don’t have a dream then how you gonna have a dream come true On the other hand we’re now stuck between the implausible dream of closing an 11 point gap on Celtic and the utter nightmare of blowing a 14 point lead over Killie Wish us luck
  16. Thank you Motherwell you were perfect guests you; turned up made it a serious contest of it but weren’t quite good enough to actually deny us the 3 points . That’s what you want from a home fixture I suspect that you haven’t got enough time left to catch Dundee in the top 6 but good luck trying.
  17. So we were beneficiaries of VAR screwing up once and on the wrong end three times. Four instances in not that many games still seems a lot Kilmarnock have had 3 VAR errors in their favour (Penalty against Rangers;Red Card against Hearts;Red Card against Aberdeen) and none against which obviously means there's a sinister Ayrshire Squirrel worshipping cult pulling the strings (or maybe they've just been lucky) Hibs and St Mirren don't feature on the list at all so their fans probably think VAR is finally working really well Arguably only Rangers had more than 4 mistakes on that list Two where they can feel aggrieved: Penalty against Kilmarnock;Red Card against Dundee Two where they should consider themselves fortunate: Penalty against Livingston;Penalty against Dundee And the old firm game where the two mistakes essentially cancelled each other out so that's either four, five or six in total depending on how you count that
  18. Bollocks to that Only silver lining is that we've both made it into the last five of the tournament
  19. Cymbe line : in honour of the city’s theatrical history Trampo line: in honour of the more bouncy members of the city’s vagrant community Made line : en honneur de temps perdu
  20. Given that by the end of the season 4 of us will have had 30 diddyship fixtures and 6 of us will have 32 are final placings on total points , points per game or do we call it at the split after 27 games I can see arguments for all three but it’s best to have these things straightened out in advance
  21. Thanks That gets in to Central at 23:18 giving me 27 minutes The Journey Planner I used (Trainline) was obviously being far, far too cautious with the transfer time from Central to Queen Street. It must have been working on the assumption I had lots of luggage, a dodgy ankle, a stroppy toddler with me and had never been to glasgow before so didn't know where I was going
