They believe they are a big club; they believe they were formed before Hibernian, yet there is no historical record of their existence before 25 Dec 1875. (CyberSauzee on hibs.net)

You're the Boss PDF Print E-mail

Hiya all,

I've already got a pinned thread telling you what the Hearts fanzone is all about...but here is your first opportunity of season 2010/11 to take part.

If you'd like to take part in You're the Boss, it's very simple! All you need to do is to give us your name, where you are from (if you stay in Edinburgh, please try to give us a specific town name - we don't need your full address!) and answer the following questions:

Team and formation: It's probably best, for sake of padding out the article, if you explain why 1 or 2 specific players are in your team - perhaps the players that others might not agree with!

What are St Johnstone's strengths and weaknesses: I know that this might prove a bit tricky due to this being the first game of the season but I'm sure we all have an opinion on where St Johnstone will look strong/weak as the season unfolds.

How do you counter their strengths and exploit their weaknesses: Exactly as it says on the tin!

What do Hearts need to do to win the game: Please, please don't just say "score more goals than St Johnstone" (although that WILL guarantee victory!). Think about things like style of play and, again, tactics!

In total, the article should be around 250 words in length. Please either put your comments here or PM me. The deadline is 5pm on Wednesday - so be quick if you'd like to take part!

Cheers,
Willie

 After, what can only be described as, the most obvious case of a "homer" referee cheating, yes I said CHEATING in Saturday's Edinburgh Derby, when a certain FIFA grade referee awarded Hibernian a penalty, we at View From Gorgie have decided to come up with a new awards competition.

Well did you know that you are free to contribute articles to View From Gorgie? And it's really rather easy to do too.
