I thought the days of haughty dismissive statements from our Board were over too...seems I was wrong.

What makes that haughty or dismissive? What makes you think it's from the Board?

It's a summary of the ins and outs, nothing more, nothing less.

You're way off the mark.

[Scotty Leither]

Who's issuing it then other than the Board? Somebody in the IT team doing it off their ain back? Really have heard it all now...

They did misuse the word ‘respectively’. Petrie GTF.

It's from Hibernian Media detailing who has left and who has come in. A statement of the facts.

Let me take a wild guess that it's whoever does our Comms and social media - a press officer.

Or perhaps you imagine the Board has spent the evening convened at East Mains poring over redraft after redraft of a carefully crafted collective statement. Then Petrie has carefully dusted down the keyboard and - watched closely by each member of the Board - has typed the statement onto the Hibs website by single finger, letter by letter. Maybe that's what happened, but I think we both know it isn't.

W4nkers, every last bejewelled one of them. What's the collective noun for a Hibs Board? A 'Let Down' - that's the answer. I swear I'll do time.

Every word that comes out of Easter Road is vetted by Petrie's PR guy David Forsyth, and that includes any utterances by the much maligned fans reps.

That statement has The Boards' dibs all over it, and to suggest it's been arbitrarily issued by the Comms team off their own back is naive in the extreme.

Not east mains. At least not at 4.30pm when Rod & Leanne rocked up st the stadium as I was passing through after getting Hibs kids tickets.
Guess they were thrashing out a deal with Danny if no one is coming in

I heard that if you record it, and then play it backwards at 33 rpm, you can clearly hear Rod saying "The Allan deal is not dead!"

Please post a different one to demonstrate. The rest of us are confused so require the clarity you seem know is missing to but is absent in the news item.

If it's Petrie it would definitely be "off the record", though - no pun intended.

Either that or "good morning but don't quote me on that".

Only one suffering from weapons grade paranoia and possessing of an irrational mistrust of those who run this club could possibly glean that from a message posted 90 minutes before the end of the transfer window saying "that's all folks, here's a summary of who's gone and come in"

That's actually true. Petrie used to be in Black Sabbath and spent years touring with them as a roadie and back-up guitarist for Tony Iommi. Most of the time Iommi was either too out of it to play or was in terrified thrall to Petrie who actually played a lot of the chords in the wings while Tony just mimed on stage. It's a tragic story really.

If you ever get a chance to see the rare pictures of Petrie in spandex and with long hair its well worth a look.

Don't mistrust them at all - just think our Board are scared of their own shadow - in fact i'm surprised your average Hibs director goes out the front door in the morning - think of the risks involved?

Or maybe they're just paranoid...

Personally I'd have much preferred a "get yir cleanest kechs on son, yir gonna get yir Nat King Cole" kind of list.
