Seperated by the same language?

Another night, another BBC Radio Scotland special on the crisis at Hearts. Again, between 6-7pm.

 

Tonight's symphony of sympathy for the pride of the toon was hosted by Rheinhart Gordon, contributors were John Robertson, Tom English, and Jum Spence. I agree with the general thrust of the broadcast that today was a sad day because 18 people have been informed they have no job to go to tomorrow. Further, those that have retained positions do so on terms of deferred payment.

 

However, this thread is about comparison and tonight's show had an unequivocal statement from Jum, "there is no comparison between the situations faced by both Hearts and Rangers, Rangers were liquidated". Tom chimed, "and the Hearts fans are taking it on the chin, accepting responsibility whereas Rangers fans lashed out at everybody". Murmured approval from Jum. John Robertson received no support when he suggested Hearts should arrange a pre-season friendly against Rangers at Murrayfield!

 

The most delicious point was when Rheinhart read out a few contributions from Hibees, 'Jambos enjoyed the success accrued by overspend, we are enjoying their downfall'. Tom tut-tutted and embarked on a voyage of revisionism, he knew Hearts supporters celebrated two Scottish Cups but were constantly aware of the underlying threat to the club. BBC Scotland must give English his own show, 'Tom Talks Tosh'.

REading about the line-up, the sentiments, and the comments ... somehow a hollow tune rang in my ears ...

 

... they're up to their knees in Rangers blood ...

 

Please, Rangers media department, put English and Spence on the persona non grata list alongside the discredited one.
