Less said the better...
Cheers to all those who made it to the White Horse on Wednesday for the Hearts v Rangers game. Say no more.
Infamy infamy, they've all got it infamy (or us)
York Hearts hit the headlines today, when the club's 2006/07 Player of the Year presentation was featured in the Edinburgh Evening News.
The story was printed on the back page of the printed version of the paper, and also on its website.
As previously reported here, our PoTY award for last season went to Saulius Mikoliunas - but the decision has not been well received by the Jambos masses, and YHSC has come in for some (mostly lighthearted) stick both on the Evening News website and on Jambos Kickback.
Undeterred though, we're sticking by our decision. Miko comes in for far more abuse than he really deserves, and - even leaving aside his contributions on the pitch -, he deserves recognition for his on-the-record contempt for the wee team.

Historical Football Kits
Should anyone be interested in some historical information on HMFC or would just like to view the various Kits that the Club has played in then there is an excellent website available (link below).
For some of our older members this may bring back some happy memories.

Stalemate
Despite an injury list longer than the Forth Road Bridge, York Hearts FC recorded a fine 0-0 draw against Real Nexus last night at a blustery Huntington.
In an exciting and somewhat bruising cup tie, YHFC outplayed their opponents to put their first point on the board in the Cup Group stage.
There were fine performances from all who played, reflected by the fact that the Man of the Match award was split between Barclay Ong and Stu Martel.
With Ibby "the cat" Dall stepping in between the sticks and a reshuffled defence of Steve Carroll and Stu Martel, Real Nexus were limited to a handful of attempts at goal. The YHFC midfield of Alex "Furry Phenomenom" Beddingham and Adam "Bruno" Burnett worked tirelessly to assist the defence and also support joint MOM Barclay Ong in attack. With Calum Beattie and Liam playing support roles in the second half, the team really deserved more than the 1 point they picked up.
We are left to wonder whether all 3 pts would have been taken had regulars Aitchison, Outing, Hardie and Johnston been available for selection.
Next Game - Tues 4th March 9pm v Elvington Floorcraft

Nexus Next
York Hearts FC return to cup duty tomorrow night, when they take on Real Nexus.
Nexus are currently seventh in League One, but the Jambos face a selection crisis with several first-team regulars struggling or unavailable.
Gavstro Aitchison is likely to be out with a back injury, while Sam "Kermit" Outing has pulled a calf.
Adam "Bruno" Burnett and Alan "Ninja" Hardie are also both unavailable, according to Outing.
With such a depleted squad, club chairman and veteran Ian "Walter Kidd" Warner may come out of retirement for the Jambos. If he does so, it will be his first match since the Coronation Cup of 1953.
Kick-off tomorrow is 9pm. Any spectators welcome.
