It was a bit of a weird day for me. The morning was spent with my daughter at a children’s show in the Edinburgh fringe before I headed home and got myself across town to meet some guys for a pre match pint. Fraser, who I met at our Notts County trip last season, met me in The Diggers for a few beers. Some of his mates from the Hearts supporters team Real Maroon were in the bar so we ended up chatting with them before my Aberdeen supporting mate Sean (and two of his friends) joined us. His mates had travelled down for from Aberdeen for the occasion (Sean lives locally) and initially seemed wary about coming into what in essence is the quintessential Hearts pub, they needn’t have worried, The Diggers is the thinking man’s Hearts boozer, you get a better class of piss head in here compared to a few of the other local hostelries.
After a couple of pints and general outrage at the ease in which Ranger managed to obtain two penalties in there game at Inverness, we made our way down towards the stadium, headed of to our respective ends and watched a thoroughly enjoyable game...from a Hearts point of view anyway.
