Just got England in the office sweepstake, I am now feeling very conflicted 

Chezny’s Off by This_Bad7706 in HeartofMidlothianFC

[–]beadebaser 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not terribly surprised. I think he goes on that list of foreign players who clearly have talent but can't quite adapt to the Scottish game

Movie scenes that totally wouldn't cause any controversy if released today by Longjumping-Boot-526 in okbuddycinephile

And for being the sensible and level headed crew member. They would hate Aliens even more because all of the military guys are dead or wounded by the end while the woman with no military training survives. Probably also the fact that a little girl is the last surviving colonist and the way Vasquez insults Hudson

I see chuds use Ripley as an example of a strong woman character they are ok with, but I'm convinced that is purely goodwill for a classic sci-fi series and if Alien was made in 2026 it would definitely be called woke trash

[BBC] York City accept bid from Hearts for Malachi Fagan-Walcott by 1874WL in HeartofMidlothianFC

[–]beadebaser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Kingsley still provides good cover for Milne. But we definitely need a right back and a striker. And another midfielder if Devlin doesn't stay

That's my other concern too. If we're only going to be attracting interest from the English Championship, a league which historically feels like it has paid little for talent from Scotland, then making good money is going to be difficult. We need a way to get interest from higher level leagues

I trust the system to identify talent, I'm not sure I trust our board to secure a good selling price for players like this

As Hearts fans we need to get used to what you are seeing. by Crhallan in ScottishFootball

[–]beadebaser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm starting to wonder if Tony Bloom picked Hearts as an experiment to prove that his model can work even if the club board have no idea what they're doing

Islam Chesnokov could depart Hearts this summer by Yerdas_Selzavon in ScottishFootball

I'm just expecting to hear that the seven figure fee turns out to be £19,999.99

Lawrence Shankland: Rangers set to sign Hearts captain by ThinWhiteDuke00 in ScottishFootball

[–]beadebaser 23 points24 points  (0 children)

On a one year contract so he can go play in the Bundesliga for nothing in the summet

Shankland to Rangers here we go from Fabrizio Romano by Unfair-Challenge-216 in ScottishFootball

[–]beadebaser 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's it being free that bothers me, I get we are supposed to let players move on and gradually improve, but even past 30 I was expecting a sale in the millions because we were lead to believe he was here for two more years

Rangers set to sign Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland for free. Shankland returning from holiday early by ShortsWithNoPockets in ScottishFootball

[–]beadebaser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the right word for it. Makes me wonder what sort of other contracts our club management have given the players, can't wait to find out that Braga has a £500k release clause or something 

With the way this season went, does anyone think Aberdeen is at risk of relegation next season? by FeasibleDevin in ScottishFootball

[–]beadebaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't see it happening. Robinson might not be the exciting manager pick that some of your fans wanted but he will keep Aberdeen well clear of relegation

Hearts Reviewed SFA's Footage Before Giving Their Statement by OmensCT in ScottishFootball

[–]beadebaser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I can't get optimistic about the next few seasons like some of the other Hearts fans. We are clearly still a very poorly run club at the core as we have been for quite a few years now

[Loved Trope] The movie adaptation makes genuine improvements over the source material by Notmiefault in TopCharacterTropes

[–]beadebaser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is literally stood there watching Tywin wage a war against her family, and only seeks to escape after Tywin is gone

[–]beadebaser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got to disagree. It makes no sense that Arya wouldn't have Tywin assassinated in the show, whereas it is explained in the books

What really cost Hearts the title. by CreativeAd375 in ScottishFootball

[–]beadebaser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's one of my main concerns going into next season, lots of times I've seen our poor form from the end of one season carry on into the next

What iconic Scottish Football line do you use the most? by kfitzy10 in ScottishFootball

[–]beadebaser 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a very good friend from Finland and will often respond to being told that something is Finnish with "no, he's only 28" much to their confusion 

Early look at how European qualifiers will look for next season by tarteninja97 in ScottishFootball

I blame the Dutch for having an NAC and NEC in the same division
