GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST!

Use this space to let loose at anyone who has annoyed you over the last few weeks. We've come up with a few things that have annoyed us this time, but it's up to you lot to drop us a note with your own little bits and pieces.

@ Bill Hunter (Chairman of Livingston). so he thinks that his Livingston team have a greater potential than either Hearts or Hibs? Bollocks - when his team have consolidated themselves in the Premier League for about three years, then maybe by the year 2010 their home crowd could just about match that of Hibs - tossers

@ FIFA Officials. I suppose we should congratulate them because it meant we didn't have to watch Darren Jackson again. However, the whole Estonia experience was farce from start to finish. Typically, Scotland have been made out to be the villains when a proper inspection some days before the game would have avoided any problems (don't they have to approve venues months in advance anyway). To have a Swedish official chair a meeting to punish Scotland days before Sweden play Scotland in a vital tie is scandalous.

@ Gerry McNee. Arrogant git. He says that Hearts should not be given an equal split of tickets to cater for their Fair weather fans.

@ Gerry McNee and others who say that Cup finals should not be played at Murrayfield because it would mean money being taken out of football, but surely with Murrayfield holding around 15,000 more fans than any football stadium the extra capacity would compensate for the money they would have to pay to rugby. Wouldn't have something to do with Murrayfield being in Edinburgh, would it?

@ Rangers fans who say they couldn't care less whether Rangers win the Coca Cola Cup. I've spoken to quite a few. Tossers.

@ TV commentators who cannot disguise their colours and their contempt for Hearts. Two typical examples happened recently - firstly the commentary on the Rangers Hearts match when we had 4 players sent off. The commentary was scandalous, making out that every challenge by a Hearts player was illegal, and passing no comment on any of the dubious challenges by Rangers players. Most recently we had our pal Gerry McNee sitting in the terracing bemoaning the fact that his ample gut couldn't fit into the gantry at Tynecastle and complaining that commentators shouldn't have to put up with these conditions in this day and age. My advice to Gerry is to shut up. Considering all the derogatory things he has said about Hearts, the board, and the players he is luck we allow him in there.

@ Stewards and police who will allow Celtic fans to display a massive tricolour with the IRA motto inscribed, but will gladly confiscate the smallest union jack flag. I don't like to see the union jack, but why is there one law for one and one for another?

@ Hearts Administration of the Cup final tickets. Bigger article elsewhere in this issue, suffice to say that the situation is worthy of comment.
