As a recruitment consultant, I would expect hom to know his way round a contract of employment - a skill we seemed to be lacking (see current court case for details)! He should also be well versed in PR - another area where the club leaves much to be desired

Now that should remove all doubt! I haven't met a striker yet who doesn't think he should be credited with a goal if he's even in the same half of the pitch as the ball!

hi johnboy yes big'chuck' is alive and well i think he was doing some electrical work for a while but if memory serves me right is working the black cab taxis in edinburgh he was a strong player really fit and an unsung hero amongs the hearts team really appreciated by the players for the unseen work of breaking up play and starting attacks(duncan mcbain) and popped up with the occassional goal to great lad and vary friendly with wayne foster who is a postman in edinburgh Hi Robbo On a similar note, do you know where Zico is now? I bumped into him at a petrol station in Bradford when he was there with Jim Jefferies, and he was good enough to stop and chat for a few minutes.

If his first touch wasn't quite so heavy he could have had a boatload yesterday.

The ball came to him from Mihadjuks. Looks like he might have kicked it out of Esson's hands, though. On another day, the ref might not have given it.

At first look it seemed fair enough, but on the replay Russel clearly gets a decent nick on the ball before he trips the man. I hope TB has a good look at the video. He may well have got a touch on the ball but, from where I was sitting and I knew what would happen, Russel was intent on stopping the opportunity. He knew what would happen but he went ahead. He played for the team regardless of outcome. Good on you Russelldinho Oh yes. It looked a stick on red card on the telly at normal speed. I just think that we should try and use the system to our advantage if possible.

Nah, it was Mihadjuks (getting brave, trying to spell it now!) who headed it back. Although, if it had been ice-hockey, Wilkie would have been pinged for goalie interference!

If it's clear he played the ball maybe the club can appeal it, no? I hope so. The touch he got on the ball was far more that the over-turned penalty at Tynecastle last weekend, and he played the ball before the man.

Just seen the red card on Alba. Russell played the feckin ball!

Linwood, whaurs yer troosers?

Yup. we could have killed it there and then. I'd prefer good enough to stay up!

Right behind the team - Right behind Butcher - but come on - a change is needed. My comment was made on the 'punt Duncan' thread. Ain't seen the incident yet, but sounds like he took one for the team. He's solid if not spectacular, and you probably notive when he isn't there more than when he is. We're only three games in to Butcher's spell. From what I saw of the first two games, why would he change the team? After all he (or in the case of this week Malpas) sees the players day-to-day and knows who's up for it. Wouldn't most of us taken 2 points and a place in the QF before these three games?

What is going on here? Shouldn't we be getting behind our team?

It's amazing what a new broom and some optimism can do! C'mon ICT!

He's doing neither. He was being sarcastic, but it wasn't aimed at you. It is a reference to something DC posted last weekend.

Just make sure you've - ahem - seen to her needs by 8pm!

I can remember speaking to a rabid Newcastle fan (i.e. he was very keen - he wasn't literally rabid!) after you'd returned to Hearts, and he reckoned you'd done OK at the toon. Didn't they play you in midfield for a bit? great experience but yes played 4 games up front then wide left for abot half dozen games but just did not work out I'm gonna stop now before this turns into 'Jambos Re-united'!

Now I know you're kosher! Thinking back, one of my favourite goals of yours was against 'Well in the in 1990 (I think). it was p*ssing rain, and Hearts won 4-0. I can remember a newspaper picture of your celebration! That, and any of the zillion you scored against Hibs! spot on we beat well 4 v 0 i got two jc scored an unbeleivable mazy from his own haf past about 5 plus keeper and crabbo csored to finish it off and hibs well all special and enjoyed to the max That was some season. I still remember the 'New Terrible Trio' t-shirts!

Shurely Shome Mishtake?

And actually, isn't IHE saying he was paid in Euros instead of GBP. If we gave him, for arguments sake, 200,000 euros then, as the pound falls, 200,000 euros gets closer to 200,000 GBP. I'm telling you a decent lawyer and accountant will have him owing us! PS What eejit didn't have the sell out as percentage? That way it wouldn't have mattered if the transfer had been in GBP, Euros, Rupees or, appropriately, pieces of silver.

I was being sarcastic.

And you're often no sure what day it is!
