Going by the first half showing in the sevco match, hearts are a really poor side.
Looks like sevco are going to whitewash them with 4 wins in the league, the only club they have managed that against this season
Although I want to hammer hearts in the final, I reckon the british cup final winning margin could be in jeopardy, when Celtic beat the old club 7-1.

Hearts look really poor, long ball only outlet.

It was the stand-out banker away win of the day as they've never tried a leg all season - compared to the gritty, niggly games they play against Celtic. I've said before Hearts only give 100% against teams in green and white and if their bitter support is happy with that - more fool them.
Another reason why I don't want Steve Clarke to be Scotland boss; imagine Kilmarnock with a Sevco Sympathizer like EBT or Slug?
{Ed007's Note - I honestly don't think Kilmarnock will go down that route when Clarke does leave. The people that came in after Michael Johnston left have big(ish) plans for the club, they want them up there pushing TRIFC, Aberdeen and Hibs by playing football that people will want to come and watch.}

Was there recently Ed they are doing a lot of work off the pitch with their Hospitality etc and are becoming more community orientated with lots going on at the stadium during the week. I spoke to one of the guys working there an ex player can't remember his name but very friendly.
{Ed007's Note - Yeah they're really working hard to get a connection between the club and the town going.

Am I right in saying hearts are the only top 6 team not to take points of the mob this season?
Ed killie are debt free as well ain't They?
{Ed007's Note - You're right on both counts, Kev.}

The more of our clubs that can do that the better is for Scottish football.
{Ed007's Note - Definitely, Kev and if we could get to the stage where us and TRIFC only get one stand at every away ground the game in general up here could get a lot better if we improved the marketing etc and people (fans, pundits & journalists) stop focusing on the negative stuff and talk the game up.}

I've said for years they should bring in Barry Hearn to do the marketing for Scottish football.

It was Ray Montgomerie i spoke to Ed, he spoke well and took a good bit of time to talk to us. It was either him or another guy who said long term they plan to fill in corner/ s for hospitality areas or offices that people could use outwith match days.

Barry Hearn would be a good fit for the SFA . He destroyed British boxing, he is well down the road destroying snooker& his ideas and plans of deciding who he wants to win would fit well with the SFA .
If we want to bring on football and develop the game fairly Hearn is the last person you want involved.

He took both snooker and darts to another level. Made them world wide.
Both were deed on their arse before him.

I've been going to Boxing, Snooker and Darts for 15+ years. All 3 are the best they have ever been, thanks to Barry Hearn. Sold out arenas, worldwide audience, huge prize money and all 3 as competitive as ever. As for destroying British Boxing does Britain not currently have Champions at nearly every weight level. SOS for Hearn 😂.

Stan this is a guy that turned fishing in to a televised sport.

He spoke highly of Scottish football a year or 2 ago Kev and said he would love to turn it around. He said we have a doom and gloom outlook when we should be promoting all that is good about it. As you have said he has taken sports to another level and i'd have him involved tomorrow.
