Fingers crossed wee man...

...but no, our keeper had a Boxing Day sale on and was giving presents away free.

Went to the big pink bus shelter in Gorgie.

Down one-nil at half time Zibi the divvy (Hearts' best player for the past 2 years) gives 'em another at the start of the second half. We fight back to 2-2 and after the equalising penalty the ref decides that an under 6-foot, one-eyed Irishman punched their 7 foot 6 keeper who outperformed Willem Defoe's Platoon death with his theatrics. Sent our boy packing with a red. Linesman flagged it tho (obviously told his kids he was on the line for the big live tv derby but was in danger of not getting his ugly head and chipped shoulders on the Christmas telly schedule - so made up his own cracker joke and bingo - "look, there's Daddy"- fuckin' twat).

Then they nicked the winner. The only consolation is that they are truly hopeless but have a great keeper. We are truly great but have a hopeless keeper. Our issues can be sorted out quickly (as soon as the Hogmanay bells ring and the transfer window opens I hope).
We are a professional outfit Zibi boy - plenty of building sites in town where a big strong Pole will fit right in - cos yer face doesnae fit at Easter Road.

The Sailor's rum kept me warm in the stands as did the events on the pitch. Drank myself to sleep to numb the pain.
