Nothing we didn't already know.

Tynecastle sporting director Alex Koslovski

How many people are in charge over there? It's so hard to keep up but if I've got this right...

Mad Vlad - owns the club but doesn't hold an official position in it despite all evidence to the contrary.

His son, Gareth from The Office - Chairman and Chief Executive.
Alex Koslovski (who?) - Sporting Director.
Eduard Malofeev - adviser (to the man who holds no official position) and ex-temporary manager.
Valdas Ivanauskis - manager, now on long term gardening leave.
Evgenius Riabovas (who?) - new temporary manager.
John McGlynn - shortly to be the ex-assistant, to be replaced by another Lithuanian/Russian.
Steven Pressley - ex-Captain and ex-player, currently in recovery after being stabbed in the back by his team mates.
Christophe Berra - new Captain, until he speaks out of turn at which time he'll be replaced by Mikolunas.
Hal 9000 - Currently responsible for team selection, soon to be replaced by Vladski 8000, the new Lithuanian computer.

Kickback is magic today..although to be fair it has been for a while.

I've just had a friend in the office who was in the corporate at Scumcastle yesterday. He tells me....

Players openly criticising the management of the club, and laughing at the shambles and hospitality hosts openly making disparaging comments about Lithuanians which was okay cos there were no Lithuanians there.

I'm no so certain they are going to implode...but it's no the way to work if you want to attract British players. Maybe they don't.

Must say I disagree with levelling racist jibes at the supporters for booing a player who was lithuanian and replaced a scottish player.

Is it not on a par with dropping a scottish player, a frenchman in brellier and replacing them with only lithuanians? eg. you only get a regular game if your lithuanian.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

200 wrong-uns won't make it alright either

Yeah but the point im making is he wasnt booed, or none of the players were booed purely because they are Lithuanian. they were booed for taking the places of players who had stood up and made their point regarding the team selection. And said players have apparently stayed out of the debate so to speak.

All parties could be any nationality and I dont think it is anything specific to their nations.

You're quite right of course.




But don't spoil the party by being sensible!!

I know, I apologise for going against the grain when it comes to Hearts!

Much as my incontinence knickers are full up with a healthy lather of pish due to the plot thickening in 'Carry On Jambos' I do feel that to describe fans who boo someone for being Lithuanian as racist is inaccurate.

As most of you, political correctness is not a cancer that is ever likely to consume me, but I still feel that racism is only such when it's aimed at someone whose skin is different to your own. At least that's how I understand it.

I first heard 'racism' applied to abuse due to someone's nationality when a classmate called me a 'Scottish git' in 1986 (we'd just moved to Wales) and a very right-on English teacher admonished him. I didn't feel that I'd been racially abused and on the odd occasion to this day when some wag with a razor sharp wit makes a similar comment I take no offence.

Really feel that the media could and should do something to clarify this.

Then again, the most original journalism in the Daily Retard died when they stopped showing women's tits on page 3.

FWIW I don't think there was any racism involved either. They players were booed pure and simply because their fans are a shower of imbeciles who can't see the wood for the trees. Long may this comedy show continue.

I think it is applicable if someone is from a different race. Not all people are as thick skinned as you 7Tats obviously. Personally I dont really give a flying one if someone thinks its amusing to call me a jock/sweaty and clearly you dont give a monkeys either but there are some out there that are a teensy weensy bit more sensitive and to them its racism.

Agree with your comment re the Retard though.

However I think that the line is drawn between where someone is discrimated against because of their race, as oposed to having their feelings hurt.

Obviously neither is a good thing however one is slightly more serious and relevant than the other and whilst its nice to avoid the latter happening it is not such a burning issue I feel.
