TBH I've never known a club to start with two aways in the SPL , and I would have thought that having no game on the second week would have ensured a home game first !
Worst possible start. How can fan interest be held with a trip to the back of beyond and a cancellation to begin with ?
ETA At least the Xmas/NY fixtures have been kind this year !
UBIG's reps trying to block the appointment of KPMG as administrators , presumably so they can sell the assets , eg Tynie ! Hearts could well be gone completely !
In all honesty he doesn't need to show respect to supporters , but he needs to show respect to the others I mentioned. If you fly in the face of your BOD you're taking a chance , and Gus did exactly the same thing !
......... and in the football story of the week , Kenny Shiels was basically sacked for lack of what? Towards his club , other clubs , referees and the authorities ?
I hate the quote feature on this site now , I had drawn up a list of players who came back to haunt us but I can't be arsed typing it out again. Can we not go back to the idiot proof quoting of the past ?
Samson was signed as low-cost a back-up though , and proved to the coaching staff that he was good enough during his first season of bench warming. Leatheren would be the same IMO , and I'm pretty sure we'll be signing someone else as first choice !
Unless we've earmarked someone else , then we should have offered him enough to sign , even if it is for cover , as we're going to have problems filling the full-back positions !
If we can convince Jack Smith to sign a new deal then I have high hopes for him , he's still not put pen to paper though and you can be sure his dad will have contacts at other clubs that are willing to take a chance on him.
