I want to see Hearts suffer for precisely that reason. Like old firm fans they think that 11 young stupid people kicking a ball increases their self worth, which of course it doesn't.
Being a Hibs fan is a lot more than football for me. I'd like the team to do well but they've been crap as long as I've supported them.
This is the only thread worth reading right now as 10 000 others imagine they're playing football manager on a playstation.
I'm bored of posts on this thread by people claiming they're bored of this thread.Quote:

Bored of this thread? No chance.
Been too angry to visit it as much yesterday but still looked in occasionally.
We have to remember, being gash is only semi-permanent for us, liquidation for them will be forever.
Re the bit about not having enough players.
Do they not have U17, U20 as well as a first team squad.
You cannot tell me they only have 20 players registered for the whole club.
If Doncaster and his cronies back down on this then it's a free for all for all clubs to do as they please regardless of the supposed rules.
They should of asked them for a guarantee and weeks ago at that...
Simple question
Can you fulfill this seasons fixtures
Yes prove you have sufficient means do do so
If you can't then bang... Cheerio... Ok let's bring in the team that finished 2nd in the 1st Div
This debacle should of been sorted weeks ago but the SPFL being the SPFL things have dragged on and on. It's potentially to late.
The most important thing here is the rules are adhered to and and the SPFL don't capitulate cos this sends out the wrong signal to the other clubs.
I get a funny feeling the SPFL are going to do a u turn and lift the embargo and allow them to sign players in order for the first season if the SPFL to run smoothly.
I really do hope I am wrong.

Why will putting them in the first division make any difference, they will mess up whatever league they are in if they cannot guarantee to complete their fixtures. If they are playing smart ***** and trying to bend the authorities arms punt them clean out of the professional leagues altogether. Simple question Mr Yam can you guarantee you will complete your fixtures? If no boot em out altogether, move everyone up a slot and bring in a new club at the bottom.Quote:

They are at it and scurrying round for survival. They know they won't survive this season and will be relegated... Regardless IMHO

My views are the same as they have always been. A relatively quick administration followed by liquidation.Quote:

The freezing of UBIG's assets is still a fundamental issue. Although they have had an administrator appointed this week, the unfreezing of the assets is still only in the power of the Lith government.
I won't get into rash predictions as to when the end will happen. I will leave that to others.
The end of my nutshell.
We have the bids now clarified. Bob and FOH offering to little in CVA and Massone offering bottom end of range in CVA but real questions as to how he would fund the running of club never mind fit and proper person. With UBIG administrator appointed we have to wait 10 days to see if appeal (a week on MondaY). At that point BDO can speak to both Ukio and UBIG's administrators who are in reality being directed by Lithuanian state as they picked up £200m bill for bailing out Ukio. According Insolvency News the Lith's want land value of Tynie. BDO think will advise that Massone is not likely to be able to run business on a healthy basis and two other CVAs too low. Having prised the bidders out and find they all fall short think they will have to liquidation to test the market for actually buying Tynie. Unlikely that UBIG will appeal as it was they that put them self in voluntary liquidation. I am expecting all this to develop and move to liquidation by end August. Lith state would freeze proceeds from Tynie sale until Romanov fraud trial/investigation concluded.Quote:

3 options avaialbe for punishment -
Fine. BDO are pleading not for one
Ban. They are now claiming they havent a big enough squad can they sign players
Censure. What the heck does this mean as a punishment ?
Seems the Yams want censure but what does this entail - a bollocking what ?
Must admit after Thursday found that very difficult and still hurting badly but we came back from losing 7-0 at Ibrox to beat Hearts. Next week will be better as Yams saga continues to unfold and we lift ourselves for Sunday.Quote:

If they don't have enough players to fulfill their fixtures in the top league surely they can't do so in any division. Just get them to ****.
As a survivor of that trip, I can confidently tell you nobody was sent off. We'd actually beaten them on the previous trip (Jacksona pen) so hopes were fairly high beforehand. :-(Quote:

On Thursday just past we weren't facing any of that, we were just clueless gutless spineless and rudderless
That's why I left at half time on Thursday
Hearts lost 1-0 to a Liverpool XI this afternoon, think it was mainly a Liverpool youth team.
Tapping was stretchered off, not sure what the injury was but may be a bad one and most of them think he is one of their best 3 players.
Hope he is ok or they'll be down to only 19 players for the start of next season. :greengrin
Seemingly Tapping went down in agony after twisting his knee in an innocuous challenge with Jordan Lussey. The midfielder was stretchered off after lengthy treatment, so not looking good.
And it was bloody freezingQuote:
