Rollercoaster ride !!

Originally sent on October 22nd, after what may be the most pivotal day of the whole season. The day George Burley left!

Good god almighty when will this end!!

Top of the league in credible fashion for the first time in years, more excitement at Tynecastle than i in any case, have ever seen.
At 1pm today, the f'n manager walks, or is he pushed - nope the press release at 6 today states it was by mutual consent due to irreconcillable differences.
This translates to one of the following 2 statements -
1, George Burley, principalled football manager has resigned due to the oppressive influence of the club owner Vladimir Romanov. Vlad brings in players and forces Burley to play them, Burley is undermined and has no option but to quit.
2, George Burley unprincipalled git is approached by Rangers to replace Alex McLeish and Vlad moves quickly to clear things up.

Time will tell.

It was a weird atmoshpere at Tynecastle today, the crowd had no idea whether to vent vitriol at the board or to villify the ex manager.
Dunfermline turned up, well short of the class required to do anything against Hearts and were dispatched 2 - 0 without Hearts breaking much sweat at all. Captain Steven Pressley was sent off with 5 minutes to go for allowing a Dunfermline striker to get the better off him, and was forced to bring him down - last man immediate sending off. The first sign of the unravelling?
So we don't go down with the crashing off our bubble, instead we self destruct, implode - Black Hole?

Doom mongering - the team are still there and we could have another manager, higher profile etc etc etc by the Hibs game next week.

I am in shock at the moment and can't quite manage much more.
