Thank you for a brilliant channel, it's like stepping back to happier times. I'm currently enjoying A Family at War on a Saturday evening. High quality drama which my mother remembers watching 55 years ago!

What a line up! 👌

Happy New Year to you too, Vicky 🎊 Decent first half today but, yet again, not taking our chances nearly cost us. Hope all is well with you and yours

To paraphrase a line from Rab C Nesbit, I'm not here to enjoy myself - I've come to watch Hearts...

Elton's visa has still to be finalised, probably due to the public holiday at the Home Office yesterday. I agree, the team selection is puzzling. Big protest at the Plaza when I passed.

I got the book for Christmas. Brilliant photos which capture the unique feel of the Scottish Cup and the now expected magnificent prose from @danielgraywriter.bsky.social Well done to you both 👏👏

VAR is destroying the game as we know it. If Hearts get relegated by a couple of points, this incompetence will cost the club millions of pounds...

I couldn't agree more. You don't want to celebrate a goal by either looking at the referee or the big screen in the corner of the stand...😡

Boycotted the game apparently. In protest at how the club is being run. When I was their age, I was round the back of the stand chanting Ormond and Parker Must Go...😳

My relaxation plans for the weekend will nosedive on Saturday afternoon when I go to Tynecastle Park to watch Heart of Midlothian attempt to prise themselves off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership...🫣😄

I remember Gary McSwegan in the late 1990s. For weeks he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo and Hearts looked doomed.

But then he couldn't stop scoring - he scored a hat trick at Pittodrie

I have a hunch Shanks will come good again - in time to sign a pre-season contract with Rangers in January
