Just heard ref for derby is Thompson. I hope its a wind up,gonna be a tough game.What with the yams industrial approach & physicality. Also the amount of penalties/soft fouls awarded to them already this season. They diving gunts + Thompson is akin to starting 3 goals down before kick off. I hope our manager makes a point in media about having strong ref.

Seems a bit early to be decided yet tbh but I wouldn't be too bothered if it's him. He reffed last year's game at tynie quite well.

He's not been too bad for us in recent years, and he was no hinderance in the tie last season..

There's nothing on the SFA website yet so doubt it's true. That doesn't mean it won't happen though.

He did. He's been ok since though, including last years cup game. There are worse options than him imo.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was him. The Edinburgh Derby's only going to be reffed by a handful of officials and he's one of them.

The SFA know appointing Thompson is a volatile subject as to his constant bias for the Yams in the cup that never was due to the Yams being controlled by a money laundering criminal piling up debt on players they obviously couldn't afford which was later proven when they stiffed a bunch of creditors and put into administration and really should have been wound up.

But then when did the SFA care about fair play and a level playing field where Hibernian are concerned. They have a Hunyam mentality.

Would rather they avoided controversy over the referee appointment but hey ho that's the SFA for you if Yam Thompson is appointed.

The Yams spreading that rumour is proof that they're terrified about next week's game and are desperate for any positive they can find/invent.

Did OK in cup game last year. Just b4 XMcGinn took corner for Hanlons goal. He blew about pushing. I thought he was a cert to blow for foul but let things go & Paul scored. Give them another chance but KT cleared on line. The rest, my friends, is history.

CT is a St.Mirren fan with no leanings or soft spot towards hearts and is not anti hibs. He made poor decisions in that Cup final which were hard to swallow but has no leanings or soft spot towards hearts or any anti hibs agenda. Time we dropped this persecution crap, we sound like Celtic of old moaning about agendas and blaming refs. Not defending him, I don't know him personally but I know someone who does and he's told me on many occasions that CT is aware of what hibs fans think but is just as pissed off thinking that hearts fans think he is on their side in any way. End of the day if we play well we'll win the Derby, if we don't we won't.

Personally I thing this is a load of keech. No st mirren fan would have been so biased in the never was cup game against the Yams in 2012. The bias was off the scale by Yam Thompson.

Incompetence in that cup final doesn't mean he's biased, just means he had a mare and we suffered for it. We were every bit as incompetent on the day. Just think we should be focussing on what we're going to do and not who the ref is. Plenty other refs have given poor decisions against hibs, but so has every team in Scotland.

What makes you so certain he had a 'mare' and it wasn't outright bias for the Yams as it certainly looked that way to me? but you give him the benefit of the doubt.

It appeared obvious to me he was biased towards the Yams that day.

His stats when reffing Hibs and reffing Hertz are spectacularly different and remain so over a long period of time. Mattyf has the stats iirc. Too stark to be a coincidence imo, man's à cheat.

I've always wondered if Hibs are/were simply the green team it's okay to treat poorly given Celtc's comparable influence. A lot of prejudice in Scotland is ingrained traditions. Would like us to be less quiet as club about sectarianism as societal problem generally, as we may suffer from false assumptions about the core of our support.

If Thomson wasn't biased in the 2012 final he was at the very least incompetent, with every mistake he made favouring the Yams .... its undeniable he did OK at the PBS the last time out, but if it is him I would rather it wasn't, I just don't want him near any of our games.

Those stats tell you the average yellows and reds he gives out every game he refs over two seasons. Which tells you nothing about whether he's biased or not.

Look at his stats in games involving both Edinburgh sides over his entire career, reds yellows pens and eventual outcome of game.

I was over that game by time I hit my bed that night. Haven't seen the goals again or even seen Hearts lifting the cup. Don't see the point in dwelling on such things. We moved on and enjoyed the greatest of all Scottish wins last year, and I'll dwell on that for the the rest of my days.

But it is not just that day as you make out. Several others over a long period o time. Dunfy semi final 2007, fletcher ordering off v them 2009, pem at pittodrie 2011 for pawletts dive (who is l8r sent off, appeal upheld then gets 2 game ban for diving) to name but a few.
No doubting he is incompetent. That is second to his anti Hibs bias
Last year, could easily sent off a couple of yams after they had been booked. Fven robbie replay knew to sub just in case.

Unfortunately it does. When it comes to dubious decisions more often than not it is Hearts who get them not us. How many times recently did they have a player retrospectively red carded against us or the goal Leigh Griffiths scored against them that none of the officials coud see, or Jordan Foster's "offside" goal ?

Exactly.

From the first minute until the last Yam Thompson gave them everything he could to ensure the Yams won in the never was cup. It was without a doubt the never was cup due to the criminally paid for Yams squad by fugitive on the run Romanov who is wanted for outstanding crimes in Lithuania.

When we won our holy grail last year it was done without help from refs or financial criminality.

A thread so utterly honking that it might as well be: wearing a yellow cardigan, calling itself the 'Famous', stealing money from poppy funds, polishing its Rover, polishing its helmet, licking its windows, handing its money over to (not) own its own club, trying to re-invent its catastrophically destroyed song book, trying to come to terms with what is now widely acknowledged as the most epic, romantic and joyful Scottish Cup win of all time delivered by Hibernian FC and spending all its time trying to re-invent both arithmetic and mathematics to make a stadium with a smaller capacity somehow add up to a number bigger than Easter Road while also trying to reinvent FIFA/UEFA rules on pitch length compliance.

If that club was a human being it would be a sad 55 year old single guy living in a house on a Baberton estate spending his time obsessively on line looking for a girlfriend while trying to persuade himself and everyone else that he lives in Barnton.

"I'm really famous love - people know me, I've been places. I'm really big down there too, honest. Bigger than the guy next door. I only went bankrupt that one time. I'll own the house completely in 10 years time once I've finished paying off the mortgage by giving my money instead to this fund that's using it to rebuild the garage. Don't believe the rumours about me living with that Lithuanian guy in the past. I live at number 51, I've got a massive 5 and 1 on my front wall. I've got 400,000 friends on Yambook. My grandad won the war single handed. I've got a Rover and everything. I'm still a virgin."

Given that at the time Beattie signed, hertz's problems paying their players was common knowledge, I have always suspected that he insisted on/was paid, the full amount of his short contract up front as a condition of signing. iirc, non-payments became a regular occurrence immediately after he signed, which would have been understandable if they had given him a lump sum, leaving them short of readies.

Hibs actually got less cards from him than Hearts. What is true is he gave hibs more cards than any other ref but he does that to all teams.
