I'm sorry, I know it's a good point but I just can't see past the grocer's apostrophe

Don't think its out of the question. We'd probably need to win 8 or 9 of the 11 games before the split though.

No because they have the classic fallback ... "So glad to have been proved wrong". And just like that, nothing I say has any consequences.

Someone wrote in the Dundee programme yesterday "I cannot help thinking that if he can get a couple in consecutive games or even in the same game, he'll be off and running ... 1/2

Have a listen to my appearance on SATF the other day. It was great to chat to Mark and Laurie about From Medals to Toffee Tins

Hey Richard. Don't worry too much about layout as our designer will lay the piece out and add images depending on the space. Anything from 600-800ish words is absolutely fine. Thanks again

63 years ago today, Hearts match against Third Lanark was abandoned at half time at 0-0 due to fog.

"The first indication that the match was over was when the players shook hands after a long peep on the whistle. Then the referee and linesmen were seen walking into the pavilion carrying the ball"

I suppose I should use my first post to remind you that "From Medals to Toffee Tins" would make an excellent Christmas gift for any Hearts fan. The story of our wonderful history through Hearts artefacts curated over 150 years. Available from all good bookshops including the Hearts shop.

My money's on "Taken out of context" ... "Badly translated" ..."Certainly didn't mean to imply ..."
