    Christ almighty, a lot of hot air about sod all, he's signed a contract with Hibs and is waiting on a work permit to come through.

    This happens all the time, it even happened when we signed Rocky.

    So it's the Home Office holding things up? Hostile environment for immigration and all that...

    Seems like its taking a while to come through but theres no rush, he can't play on Thursday anyway and he will be well short of match fitness to play on Sunday. Maybe a sub appearance.

    Thought he could play on Thursday, if the visa situation had been sorted out.

    Aye, I think he can play if he was to get his work permit but like you said there’d be no way he’d be involved I don’t think.

    Marciano took 3 weeks from the date we announced his signing to him getting a work permit. From the sounds of things the Home Office is even worse than it used to be so we could possibly be looking at September before we see him - although I suppose that depends if we started his application before we signed him (maybe wouldn’t even be possible to apply for one before him signing?)

    It did help that he’s undercover Mossad. Broke is finger neutralising a double-agent M Johnston.

    This is where living within our means will help us in Scotland. It will impact English clubs much more. I'd absolutely love it if they couldn't attract/or lost the best players, SKY lost interest and the clubs were left in massive debt with much less revenue. I've always thought the business model down south wasn't sustainable and even one external factor could impact on it massively. Maybe it'll be Brexit.

    Hell mend them for voting to leave the EU.

    The masses were deceived by empty promises and little Englander attitudes so are going to have to live with the reality.

    In my opinion.

    Good news, more places for native Scottish players which in turn will improve the national team.

    If work permits are now going to be severely rationed, I hope doctors, nurses, scientists, teachers and the like are prioritised over professional footballers. Whilst it is nice to have these players in your team, the other professions mentioned contribute far more to society in the longer term in exercising their skills for the benefit of many.

    Like it or not. The foreign players in the EPL bring the league and in turn the country a lot of exposure and cash. So they'll almost definitely sort something out.

    As do the foreign businesses that we will be turning away. Why would a special case be made for football?

    If they can't shop in Europe/Rest of the World so easily they will come shopping more heavily within the UK single market. More Scottish players going down south - probably a good thing for our national side and maybe bigger transfer fees for us.

    Yeah? And if you or yours are waiting for a hip replacement operation or cancer treatment and the surgeon can't get a work permit because she is lower down the queue than a footballer who earns £100,000 per week, that'll be OK because you can watch said footballer on Sky sports every now and again.

    Can a surgeon ping a free kick into the top corner from 30 yards?

    Socrates, the Brazilian, was a doctor and he could also ping a free kick!

    I find this opinion quite amusing. Dismissing the leave campaign as based on empty promises, yet suggesting that the remain campaign was based entirely on legitimate facts.

    Both sides of the debate were led by politicians. Both sides made empty promises. It's what they do.

    Putting aside this is a football forum about Hibs for two seconds. I'd be interested to hear what the Remainer's empty promises and illegitimate facts were.
