King mentions trying to arrange a friendly with Norwich for next saturday, this I guess is because of the Inter fiasco? Seemingly Inter may now be coming over so I guess that would put pay to any game on saturday?

I saw that this morning Edinburgh, it says Inter are trying to sort something out so I guess they may well come over now.

It would be nice to have a match next weekend against some decent opposition, also it's a big gap from the last game against Sherbourne on Monday and Barnsley on Aug 6.

maybe we will end up playing inter :nod:

If we don't have a game, at least the players will be 'fresh' for the Barnsley game!

A game against Norwich would be perfect as we could do with a game against 'quality' opponents.

Are Sherbourne the worst non league team we'll be playing?

I don't know if they're the worst,  but as I hadn't heard of them before I will say Yes!

Maybe we could keep a clean sheet against them. 8)

Come on now! Be serious!!

We can all dream!

Here's details of their ground for anyone who's going, apparantly tomorrow night is the official opening of the lights and stand. Capacity is 800-1000.

I read on the text pages that Inter might be doing ANOTHER U-turn and eventually come and tour England. On another note did anyone see the interview Sky News did with Palace Chairman Simon Jordan?, he said that "i dont ever see footballers on £60k a week getting on Tubes and Buses!" :mrgreen:

I hope we dont play Norwich next week ,Ive already arranged to go to Spurs v Reading :x

Inter are coming over to England now so I guess we won't be playing Norwich. Would be nice to have one more game though.

I have just realised the SPL starts this coming saturday! New season must be just round the corner!  :\/

Oh, not arranged fishing trip then?  :wink:

:D I'll go again but wont turn into a fishing geek thats for sure.Its nice sitting by the canal with a cold beer deep in thought.It came as a bit of a suprise when I caught stuff though.

Edinburgh, did you go to that Hull V Hearts friendly?

I heard it got a bit lively?

My housemate is a kind of 'semi-pro' fishing geek.

He did an all nighter last night, eel fishing. Special bate for different species and stuff. Our garage has about 20 grands worth of kit in it. He sold a rod on ebay a couple of weeks ago for £1400 :shock:

What made me laugh - they've got sensors on the line to ring a bell if you get a bite to wake you up. Some of them have got it fixed up so that it texts/vibrates their mobile.

He, like you, enjoys just being away from things and thinking about life and stuff. Plus he makes a bit of money from it.

Nah, it was all booked up and then one of the guys couldn't get time off work so we had to cancel!

What happened Spencer?? I know Hearts won 1-0 and there was between 1,000 and 1,500 Jambos there :P

Just heard it got a bit lively thats all.

Looks like a few trouble makers at the front! You can tell as there isn't a replica shirt between them!  :|

Replica shirts not my cup of tea.

Looks like they had a few too many Tennants special on the way doon.

To be fair if Swindon were in the SPL id get excited about Hull as well.

Agree there. As a new Hearts ST holder, I am really only looking forward to the games against Rangers, Celtic and H**s. The nutters come out for those games and after last season's semi final against Tom Selleck when Hearts fans booed the minutes silence for the pope, don't think Hearts and Celtic are bosom buddies!

Shame hearts aren't in Europe this season, I enjoyed the European games.  :beers:

Yeah the Shalke game at Murrayfields was a good effort (29,000?). Did you go to that one? Plus that excellent result at Bordeaux. Narrowly missed out this season as well.

Im trying to do a Rangers champs league game on the weds and then Dundee United Uefa cup on thursday. United will get annihalated. Still a good crack.

I went to all the home games in Europe as you could buy 3 games for £30 or summat like that. That was great apart from losing to the bloody germans and hearing them sing all through the second half!! My mate went to Sarajevo and Bordeaux and says Bordeaux was unbelievable! 3,000 pissed up Jambos in France!

Last season Hearts beat Basle 2-1 in Switzerland but missed out narrowly in qualifying for the next phase.

Me and my mates are on about heading to Ibrox sometime this season when the Town are Away from Home. :beers:  :beers:

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Its always the scruffy old bloke that gets nicked

You never see anybody in a replica shirt get nicked do you?!
That's what I DON'T like about going to local away derbies. I do like the atmosphere these drunken w@nkers help create though!

Oi!

Im one of those drunken wankers

:nod:    :D

In my experience of talking to fans of other clubs who wear shirts and would never dream of throwing a punch at a football ground they wind me up much more. Theyve got no respect because for some reason they think they can take the piss to the nth degree and get away with it.

Whereas someone who has seen it get nasty usually has a bit more respect. Thats true 9/10 at England games. Shirter - 'aaahhh Swindon your shit, 100 goals blah blah blah'. Casual - 'I remmember you lot from 87, still drink in the......, you knocked us out the cup n ran on the pitch blah blah blah'.

I dont really get 'banter'. Ive got no idea why someone whos just met me thinks they can slag off the team Ive been following for 15 years. Being called an inbred cunt to my face by an oxford fan isnt my idea of fun. And I will never regard it as such.

Rant over - stereotype exposed. Drunken wanker every time.

Sticks and stones......?
