Wonder if he's the only Hearts player in history to score his only goal for the club while simultaneously breaking a bone in his body.

Movie review: Nosferatu

Not as good as The VVitch, better than The Lighthouse, haven't seen The Northman

Incredible cinematography; a few disturbing scenes. Not scary but creepier than most vampire movies

Should've been 15 minutes shorter and, for quite a horny film, deserved a better sex scene

Why the time has come for Ann Budge to begin her Tynecastle exit Hearts chairwoman Ann Budge saved the Tynecastle side from liquidation a decade ago, but the club has reached a point where it's time to say goodbye.

🆕📝

A former staunch defender of her against the ‘BUDGE OUt’ brigade, I now believe this season should be Ann Budge’s last in any role of influence at Tynecastle.

Explained in detail in this week’s column for @heraldsport.bsky.social 👇

I couldn't do that to a malevolent spirit. Wouldn't be fair

There really should be a warning that comes up on maps if you put in a destination and the walking route ultimately takes you through a graveyard *at night*.

Never mind 'less busy' how much 'climb' there is. Tell me instead if there's a possibility that I may disturb 'the Lady in White'.
