I think we held our own with Der Hun over about 4-5 seasons in the early seventies but outside that wee period our record is not good. We did do well against them in knock out comps at that time although not so well in the league. Our record against Celtic is not so good although we did do well against them in the Drybrugh Cup. I recall AG's late winner in the second final was started by a Shades tackle at the edge of his own box. I was in the North Stand that day and the South for the 5-3 game.

You are right about Hearts.

Not getting at you sir, but it seems to be a constant in these threads for somebody to come on and tell us how we have misinterpreted something. (You didn't do this) but its usually something completely emotive like "Jackie is my pal, and I trust him - so there's all the proof you need".

Buried in all this a growing impression that HOH are a bunch of ill informed individuals, who are making things up about Hibs, and are beyond the normal rule of the law, or indeed logic.

Just for the record, he wasn't giving his opinion, he was alleged to be passing off facts to canvass support for his pressure group. He's not been speaking as a neutral, and it seems he's not being paying close attention to the facts.

I'm just interested when people make statements and I'm not judging just wish to understand. As you say we can all interpret things differently and I can only go on my meeting the man. I think Hibs need a change in direction and a new way of thinking but HOH if they make statements they need to provide proof.

I think many people feel that it would still be better to stick with the current man, faults and all, than replace him with the wrong man.

I had a run in with one of these guys on the way into the ground on Wednesday.He tried to force me to take a card and then tried to shove it in my pocket.He got quite upset(and aggressive)when I suggested an alternative resting place for it.

I don't agree with them or the way they're going about their business but I do think farmer remaining silent throughout all this is pretty poor and shows a level of contempt for the supporters.

He could put all this pish to bed by outlining his future plans for the club.

The way I see it is HOH either put up or shut up. I'm no Petrie/Farmer lover but this nonsense is counter productive and harmful in terms of uniting the support.

He hasn't remained silent TBF. He has answered HoH's letters.

I would, however, expect something at the AGM, if one is held this year.

Was that not petrie?

Even if it was him though, a private letter's not what I was hoping for.

The club's a shambles just now imo and we need leadership from the very top, we're not getting that.

Just drove along gorgie road. Tom and rod outside the gym holding signs saying "boxing hurts"

To be fair to him, he's really not well and his health maybe comes before responding to pish lies?

They are trying to force Farmer in to making a statement regards the allegations they are making and if he wants to remain owner then let the fans no what the vision is for the club moving forward, right now we no nothing, HOH will not go away, they are going to be a thorn in Farmers side until he speaks to the Hibs Family, if he doesn't then it wouldn't surprise me if HOH really do take "time for action" to another level, HOH want rid of Farmer and Petrie simple as that, how they go about it is, they step up the pressure, but there has to be more to this than just forcing they 2 out, they don't intend to buy the club so there motives must have some backing from someone in the background who doesn't want to be named but may have a interest in buying the club at a cut down price.

I saw him take part in the QMU ceremonies a few months ago, congratulating the successful students. He delivered a decent speech too.
Seemed in pretty decent nick to me.

I don't think HOH have plans to take over Hibs, i think there main aim is to remove Farmer & Petrie from the club and put enough pressure on them to sell the club.

But that will only work if there is a viable and trustworthy alternative waiting on the wings and right now that doesn't appear to be the case.

IIRC, they made an offer, which was rejected.

Kano (I think) then complained in the Press about Petrie 'moving the Goalposts'.

Thanks for that. That guy Kennedy said the same thing but that time STF was probably right.

You would hope for man at that level to be consistently right with his decisions.

Rather than move the goalposts I'd hope STF ******g hid them from that opportunistic ... person.

Anyone any ideas on hoh/imneedinaleak latest move?

Has anyone ceased to exist, Norwegian Blue style, as result of their so far, unsubstantiated claims? Come on guys, spill.

Been a few days.

TBF, that's not him saying it. He has re-tweeted what HOH said.
