Darth Vader there as well. No wonder Hearts are winning; they have the dark side of the force with them!
 
Brilliant ending to the game,Rudi at his best.A great win for the Jambos.
Blackies t-shirt at the end was brilliant.
I will paint this place maroon.
He was one of the players that was not paid last month so he got a job as a painter and decorater.
 
Ref was an absolute joke. It's a well known fact that he's a hearts fan and used to have a ST so why he's allowed to ref the derby is beyond me.

On Hibs, I remember being in a pub near Oldhams ground, (Chadderton Arms? Now a school?), around 95/96. We were playing each other and it was around this time of year - fucking freezing. Anyway some blues said that Hibs were down for a fight a they had some allegiance with Oldham?!! Anyone else heard that, the allegiance I mean?

Never heard that one though there is/was a fairly notorious group of Hibs hoolies.

Sully mentions it in his hoolie book, though he said it was in the 3rd round of the cup in 2005

Good save that, poor penalty though.
I wonder what the players in Scotland earn? I know these Hearts boys haven't been paid for December, but I wonder what your average left back, for example, earns in the SPL? Reckon its below £10k a week?

Jesus mate, I'm pretty sure it will average less than 2k a week never mind 10.

I can't see many players from the likes of Killie, St Mirren, Inverness, St Johnstone, Dubfermline and possibly even motherwell being on much more than a grand per week. The city clubs can afford a bit more which brings the average up. 10k a week wouldn't have been managed at the best of times. In the late 90's where money in the SPL was being thrown about left right and centre I'm sure Killie's highest ever earner was Christophe Cocard (striker) on just less than 6k p/w.

St Mirren players are lucky if they get 1k a week, only top 4 or 5 most senior players will make that. Most League 2 clubs can offer more attractive wages if they wish.
 
A friend of mine went pro at caley last summer, his wages are very low but hes still considered a youth player. Theres probably 2 or 3 players earning over 2 grand a week here- we have tudor jones on loan who is a high earner. I seem to remember us paying marius niculae, who was a romanian international at the time, about 6 grand a week. I'd say samaras is probably the top earner in the spl.
