We're in quite an interesting and strong position on this one - in that we haven't been affected by anything yet, so can be considered to be (fairly) neutral and objective. Other teams could be accused of sour grapes or a vested interest in matters. Do we have to wait until we are hard done by before we get involved? We are going to benefit through Dicker missing the game against us at the weekend, which is a ridiculous state of affairs. I like that Aberdeen have been critical of the process, and don't think it would be wrong of us to weigh in in support, although I do tend to prefer to see us near the bottom of the statement league.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

RP, LD et al played an absolute blinder throughout that debacle. Whilst there were ridiculous lies printed, we can't hide the fact that we were on the pitch when we shouldn't have been, some Rangers players had attention that they should not have had and that some property was damaged. Hibs didn't get involved in hysterics and quietly went about minimising the fall out, and I think they did a superb job of it. Anyone who has half a brain cell knows that what the DR printed was garbage - why get involved in tit for tat drivel? "Don't roll with pigs in s**t" was great advice given to me many years ago - and that is exactly what getting into a public war of words would have been doing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Poor start to the season by Hibs on the statements front, we are in danger of being left behind again! Come on Petrie get this sorted!

Like being near the bottom of the crime count league. No statements is a good place to be.

Lennon did not get a ban for "cupping his ears".
He got a 1 match ban for entering the field of play.............in front of all of us there and on TV - It was pretty hard to deny. His ban was automatically extended to 3 as he had a 2 match suspended ban hanging over him.
As for all the crap after the cup final - what did you want the club to say?
Rod did his bit by saying it was "exuberance", and after he and LD did a brilliant job behind the scenes ensuring we got off pretty much scot free.

I think Aberdeen's statement is great and raises some good points. It would be even stronger if the foul in question indubitably wasn't a sending off, which isn't the case IMO.

Given that one of Clarke's complaints is that his name was spelled wrong on the charge sheet, it's maybe better not to get involved.

If you believed twitter, NL was banned for 3 matches simply for celebrating a goal..................

I'm generally in favour of the club "speaking up" but it should be noted what happened the last time we spoke up as a club. We spoke up a few times that season about Craig Thomson. The SFA rewarded us with him taking charge of the cup final. We spoke up against that. Result: he screwed us over.
Maybe keeping quiet is the best tactic when it comes to the incompetence/corruption associated with our referees and national association.

WHY - there is/isn't a nation-wide campaign for this corrupt/not-fit-for-purpose 'organisation' to be completely scrapped and all within it sacked is baffling ??

It seems that there were two working party groups made up of club,coaches and players who met a number of times and agreed how the disciplinary process was going to work.Hasn’t worked out too well.
