Greg Playfair

Can be found rambling on about Hearts in the fan column I write every Tuesday on the BBC Website.

@AroundTheFunnel @Amoruso1998 @DonaldsonESPN @sked21 @jamb0skickback @craigcairns001 @HeartsStandard_ Bookmakers lists are farcical.

I tried to get a price for Luka Elsner last year - and I didn’t place any money on him - and within a couple of days, he was named a favourite. 🤣

@Amoruso1998 I’m more livid at the fact the go to Hearts media darling doesn’t know the words to the Hearts song 😂.

“Stranger things have happened” when saying Hearts could finish in the bottom 6 🫪🤣

@therichardcobb I hope you’re all good mate!

If it cheers you up, since yourself and I graced the Tynecastle pitch at last year’s Big Hearts game, Hearts have yet to taste defeat.

Mad to think that you’ve been Space Jammed by Claudio Braga.

[The Hearts Review @TheHeartsReview]

What an utterly pathetic and embarrassing response.

At no point condemns the actions of the Celtic supporters instead bites back and insinuates Hearts were out of order for drawing attention to the whole thing in the first place

Further evidence the SFA are not fit for purpose

[Feg Bizet @FegBizet]

This is a staggering statement. The audio clearly confirms that the match was finished early because of safety concerns for the Hearts players. And the Scottish FA have released this like it’s some sort of vindication of their position.

@amyjcanavan Delighted for you Amy! I hope the Yanks are able to decipher the Dalkeith dialect 😅

The cover up begins now from Willie Collum & the SFA.

We all know the only punishment that will be issued is that Derek McInnes will get a 3+ match ban for his comments on a penalty award which has predetermined the outcome of ’title decider’ which was decided long before today.

Celtic and Hearts 'abandoned game' theory shut down as unseen ref action amid chaotic scenes explained

[Stewart Weir @sweirz]

The narrative this week has all been about Beaton and that penalty at Fir Park. That however has just been a convenient fog. The decisions at the same venue last weekend - especially the penalty Willie Collum said #Hearts should have had - are what did for McInnes & Co. Time #Collum - who presides over this shambles - was opened up to questions from journalists, rather than his stage-managed, pally chats for a broadcaster.

[Greg Playfair @GregPlayfair]

“Barely moments after the final whistle”.

There wasn’t a final whistle blown. 😂

Congratulations to Celtic on winning the league title, but you can’t escape the fact that their highly contentious penalty award at Motherwell 4d ago ensured that today’s outcome was premeditated.

[Sky Sports Scotland @ScotlandSky]

Watch new footage of Hearts players – still in their kits – boarding the team bus just moments after the final whistle at Celtic Park 🎥

[Bairdric @Bairdric1]

Ever wondered what it would be like to headline the main event at Wrestlemania knowing you’ve been booked to lose? That’s Hearts that is.

[Sam Pilger @sampilger]

So that absolutely shocking VAR intervention for the Celtic penalty against Motherwell earlier this week proved to be crucial and helped rob Hearts and deliver Celtic the title. A great shame for Scottish football.

A club and fanbase offended by everything and ashamed of nothing

[Jamie Bryson @JamieBrysonLLB]

A technical point, but one of substance. That match wasn’t finished. It was abandoned due to the vile club’s fans invading pitch & attacking Hearts players.

Naturally, the SFA will just gloss over that on behalf of their club, but if rules were properly applied, there would be consequences.
