  1. Aberdeen has never been a hate team for me. But I remember times when you had horrible players. Your reign was ending as I got into going to games proper. Brian Irvine. Stewart McKimmie. Brian Grant. Lee Richardson. Dean Windass. Duncan Shearer. Over the years. Can't say any of your players are that type now but it's a changed game. We're the same. No hard cases anymore.
  2. We won a lot of games back to back there while actually being a bit shit. Shankland a stand out obviously. But our MF needs major attention. The three new additions are safe decent players. I expect us to try for Strain plus either Phillips or Baccus. But i think there'll be a couple of real quality players added over summer. Especially up front if Shankland is sold.
  3. It's a fair point tbf. But unlikely this Aberdeen team is gonna do anything in Glasgow. And i think if we win our semi you're only one game away from ruining Europe for us. I think.
  4. We're comfortably third and miles ahead of Aberdeen and Hibs, our rivals. It's only March. Dhanda is an upgrade on Grant. Spittal is an upgrade on Oda. Penrice is a decent replacement for Cochrane who we may sell in his last year. Penrice an upgrade in an attacking sense at least. All have been acquired for no outlay. Our hotel is now operational and will be bringing in a seven figure additional revenue stream each year. We have just agreed the largest sponsorship deal in our history. Also Umbro and a new kit deal next year. European football and the millions it brings. I expect millions, sadly, from tne sale of at least Cochrane and Shankland. The years of having to fund Tynecastle stadium projects are lessening, allowing focus on the playing side. And so I think we'll have a major squad budget over the summer. I'm hoping that brings the likes of Danny Armstrong, Lyall Cameron, etc into consideration. And where Aberdeen or Hibs join any efforts to sign, we have the finances to compete, plus, offer European football. This also shows that squad rebuilding efforts are well underway and this won't be helped at Aberdeen with no manager. So not sure any of you can say us signing Dhanda, Penrice and Spittal isn't at least competent. Yes our biggest challenge will be potentially replacing Shankland. We won't replace his goals with any one player but may replace with overall quality of our frontline where I think we need better width, pace and aggression through the middle, so a mix of players will be brought in I'm sure as Vargas, Tagawa, Forrest, Oda and Boyce will have been seen as needing reviewed. We are underway with our rebuild and think three decent early recruits.
  5. A lot of Hearts fans feel our primary strategy should be signing the best of the rest of Scotland. Weir. Cameron. McKinlay. McCann. Type of signings have done well for us before. Dhanda. Penrice. Spittal. Know the league. No transfer fees. Strengthening third. Strain. Baccus. Phillips. Obvious remaining OOC players. Hibs too busy being a feeder club for English reserve teams. Dunno what Aberdeen will do but likely delaying outlay til new manager arrives. I'm happy we're doing business early from a strong position.
  6. What a weird joke. We got 3rd wrapped up about November. Welcome Dhanda and Penrice.
  7. Comment on kickback saying he had a Hampden tour. They explained for cup ties it goes by who is drawn first as the home team, and who away, as to which team gets which dressing room. Except. The Rangers ALWAYS get the west dressing room. Celtic ALWAYS get east. Regardless of when they were drawn or who they are facing. Daft example but again shows our entire game is build around those two. Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs and everyone else are just the diddy teams they have to play to decide which of them is best in any season. I'm mostly annoyed at our clubs for not challenging EVERY example of this as us fans would.
  8. Hearts had a really strong interest before he signed his contract extension. I'd imagine we still like him, also probably Luke McCowan.
  9. Celtic have been awarded 13 pens this season. The most. Tynecastle was the first they've had a pen against them. The least. They still got a pen. They got a close offside decision their way. They've won 11 of the last 12 titles. They've won 5 of the last 7 SCs. They've won 6 of the last 8 League Cups. The whole country now hearing how unfair things are and how things always go against them.
