Fare thee well then Hearts B team. I wasn't a fan of the idea, but I've spoken to some people who felt it did provide an answer to a development gap after the youth teams

Amazing work by a fantastic organisation.
We're so excited to share that with your help, we've raised over £140,000 in our 2025 winter appeal!

Thanks to your donations we can keep supporting people who are easy to overlook in a busy city: people sleeping rough, people in crisis, people surviving minute to minute.

Josh McPake announced as joining in the summer.

It's been a busy January already!

C'mon the Jambos!

First Lizzie Waldie is bought by Charlton, now Sean Burt is poached by Ipswich.

The success of Hearts Women was always going to attract interest in those involved, but it feels like the team is at a crucial juncture. It'll be interesting to see how they respond to these departures.

“Yes, but he’s slow off his line” - pundit slams 93-year-old Craig Gordon after wonder save in 2075/76 title race

What a keeper Craig Gordon is. Outstanding save at the end.

I know we had 18 centre backs on, but we defended superbly today.

A very welcome three points.

I’d always known that my wife had difficulty admitting mistakes, but one day in 2016, I pointed out that she’d entered our address incorrectly into the GPS. She denied it, and we arrived at the home of a lovely elderly couple named Burt and Anna, whom we’ve lived with ever since.

I get mine from a vendor outside Sainsburys on Shandwick Place. He couldn't be nicer, and even when I'm just passing, he always takes time to say hi and ask after my family.

The Big Issue and its vendors do a brilliant job. Support them if you can.

📉 And yet, only 4,841 were built in the 2024 calendar year.
