It doesn't surprise me, the board decision is described as unanimous, if that include those elected by supporters then they have serious questions to answer.
An absolute disgrace.
Everything I thought Dempster would refuse to stand for.
Disgusting.
For all of the good things going on at our club, our leaders have shown themselves to be cowards and the willing nodding dog playthings of Sevco. S***ebags.
The board of Hibernian FC are gutless.
What a f***** embarrassment.
Utterly ashamed of our club tonight.
Leann's first mistake? Presumably she has enough brownie points in the bag to see her through but I reckon this will use up all of the credit she's built up.
Shocker of a statement and very disappointed in the fans reps. This thread shows so far they have went against those they are meant to represent.
Agm should be fun
Massive error by Dempster and co!
Could this be Petrie helping his friends at the SFA
"working to ensure that in the future our game is fairer and more open"
This decision does the complete opposite of that.
*Sweep, Sweep*
Total saps.
***** statement, very disappointing.
Sauzee has just been trumped as one of the best sweepers we have had.
We need to hear from the "Fans reps" immediately.
How can they possibly justify being so far at odds with what the actual fans clearly want?
Over to you, Tracey & Frank. We are waiting.
Not fussed either way. Let's concentrate on all things Hibernian.
I'm the same mate. But understand that's not a popular view on here.Quote:

Basically says sod sporting integrity and **** every single one of us who supported the club the years we were being cheated.
Spineless and gutless and I especially thought better of Dempster. Shameful.
Same. I really couldn't care less.Quote:

Legal view suggests very little chance of proving it and no chance of stripped titles. Some people just don't want to hear that.
Given the choice I would prefer a review for transparency but this sweep under the carpet crap needs to be dropped. Our club doesn't do that remember.
tHIS IMPLIES THAT THE GAME HAS not BEEN FAIR AND OPEN IN THE PAST!! :brickwallQuote:

Looks like it'll be left to Celtc to get the Hun's titles stripped.
I'm no expert on finance, but it feels like they were cheating, looks like they have got away with one.
Interesting to see if this will effect anyone's willingness to attend games?
This bit surprised me the most, they are on the board to represent the majority of the fans wishes and failed to do so when required.Quote:

Wheather I agree with them or not, the club has acted with class yet again. If that's the decision made by Hibs then so be it.
I don't actually give a ******.

Disappointing, yes. Disgrace? No.
Class?? Allowing cheating isn't class. That's the most patronising statement I've ever seen from Hibs.Quote:

Firstly, I hate to bring up hate to the guy and apologise if I am way off but wonder what type of impact Rods relationship with blazers had on this.
I know little about the whole saga apart from the obvious but how we can just sweep this under the carpet is ridiculous. They a**eholes who run Scottish football are at it - I hate them.
Surely our fan reps never agreed to this - scandalous if so.
Sums it up for me.Quote:

I'd imagine once vote is taken then a unanimous 'stance' is taken. No point in saying a majority of the board decided.
How do you know what the majority of fans want?Quote:

Very very bad patter.
Regardless of legally, surely the sfa/spl can see that the routes of the competition were broken.
Perhaps someone able to write a decent strongly worded letter could put one together so it could be sent to the club along with the signatures of everyone who disagrees with the clubs stance?
Saved me replying. 'Class', if Hibs class is leaving your own supporters feeling cheated then...Quote:

It's a pity that the view is that not even 1 % of our focus and energy can't be spent ensuring that the governance and jurisprudence of the game is as impeccable as this club's, and all other clubs' fans deserve (inclusive of the Rangers support).
The game has suffered badly in the past 6 years and the decisions that have come from the sfa, And the spl/spfl executive have played huge roles in that.
Disappointing in the extreme
Pathetic Hibs. Thought we were better than that.
Says it for me Sean and if unanimous means our reps have supported this position on their own with effectively communication silence then the roles over for me.Quote:

Not really bothered about celtcs motives, hope they push this a bit further than we do.

Am completely bored with it all that I can't say the statement bothers me - the SFA have been corrupt for as long as I can remember so not sure that another review will change anything - appreciate that some feel differently
An embarrassment and a disgrace
The point of the review is that there is very very strong circumstantial evidence that individuals within the SFA granted a European License to Rangers when they did not meet the criteria.
Rangers hid side letters which concealed the monetary payments their players were receiving and therefore throughout that time they were fielding ineligible players ......that is players that Rangers directors stated on oath at Craig Whytes trial they otherwise could not have afforded.
The secretive 5 way agreement
I'm of the move on from the sorry episode chain of thought. I'm sick of the whole thing and if I hear EBT again I think I'll explode . It seems the board were thinking along the same lines as me and a good few others. The club can't please everyone.
My initial reaction is one of crippling disappointment.
I had a real and genuine sense of pride all those years ago when Petrie spoke of sporting integrity and the need for Scotland to have well run clubs, whilst he could point to the fact that Hibs had cut our cloth accordingly.
Today we stand shoulder to shoulder with the cheats and the whitewashers whilst booting our own fans (who shelled out decent sums of money for tickets to watch competitions where rules were not enforced equally) in the balls.
Hibs can gtf as far as I'm concerned.
Does anyone really have faith in our authorities to enforce rules fairly? Do we really believe that FFP rules won't be glossed over to favour the establishment side?
I don't.
I thought we were better than this.
No offence but this is part of the reason they get away with it. Imagine you played poker with soneone for many years then found out they had cheated all along?Quote:

Well going be the reaction "a good few others" you are in the minority. They have upset a lot of fans with this statement and looking at Twitter the reaction is mostly anger.Quote:

The worst thing in that statement is the perpetuation of the myth that the death of Rangers and Hearts going into administration somehow "damaged the sport". Complete nonsense. It was the average Scottish fans' finest hour using their collective strength to ensure Newco weren't allowed straight back into the top league. Petrie and Dempster should hang their heads in shame at this attempt to rewrite history.
At the moment I'm feeling very angry by that statement and questioning whether to go on Saturday.
This is a slap in the face for us as fans. They have ignored everything that the fans have said on the situation. They are expecting the fans to be nodding dogs and go along with it. The board are spineless and Petrie seems to be looking after his own ambitions.
We've been let down and I'm being made more angry listening to that **** Regan on the radio basically 'move along nothing to see here'. The fact that they have Dickson as part of that board is as corrupt as it can get.
I wouldn't care if they were now dead. As the old club is.Quote:

I think everyone should read the statement and try to understand why the decision was made. I hate the fact that Rangers got away with cheating but if there is no legal remedy then why waste time, resources and energy on it. Let's focus on our club and our ongoing success.
Questioning whether to go on Saturday? Wow. Seems like a bit of an overreaction to me. Each to their own I guess.Quote:

Bitterly disappointed in this, the board have let Hibernian Football Club fown here, we should be embarassed by our lack of movement on this issue but unfortunately we'll probably be just one of many SPFL clubs who takes this view and it saddens me, the message this sends out is Hibs believe the SFA is run well, bull****, ashamed of that.
Petrie's got his SFA hat on
Honestly I'd rather we focused on ourselves.
But the integrity of the Scottish game is at stake, and for the sake of Sporting Integrity that statement is an absolute disgrace. Was always going to happen with Petrie as our chairman.
I'll be going to the matches because I love my club, but I will not support members of that board who feel It is right to allow teams to cheat the system and claim undeserved trophies and victories which they did not deserve.Quote:

Scottish Football is on a par with Italian politics. Cowardly decision from Hibs.
How to shoot all the goodwill in one go. Nonsense statement from Hibs really, really poor.
This. Hibs to me are the most important thing and the club are concentrating on Hibs. Can understand people's disappointment but as long as our house is order that's all I care about.Quote:

We moan about the old firm all the time, let them fight this out whilst we focus on the pitch.

If I won the golf championships for years only later to be found out as a cheat I would lose the titles, no? Look at Jessica ennis getting a medal the over month, years after she was cheated.
Cheating is cheating.
We have fans have all felt at some time or another, that the authorities have bent over backwards for both bigots in the past, and they have favoured them, dare I say it cheated on their behalf.
Now it's as clear as the nose on your face, that they don't even bother to hide it now, and OUR club don't have the bollox to stand up to them when THIS was the time to do so.
Gutless.
Hell mend you Petrie.
I'd rather they said we would love to spend the time and energy into getting our integrity back but we feel that we must move forward with our club. Something that actually reflects or acknowledges the completely bipolar view that its supporters have.
condemn all forms of cheating and corruption in scottish football.
support the need for sporting integrity and the call for an independendant review as a member of the SPFL.
Acknowledge that we realise its unlikely to result in punishment or title stripping even if it does happen.
Emphasise that we are focused on our own club and will be putting all our future efforts into Hibernian FC rather than dwelling on the historical rights and wrongs of other clubs.
That's not a hard statement to draw up, the one that has been produced is shockingly bad, snivelling, pathetic and embarrassing not to mention at complete odds with almost every single fan of the club.
really dissapointing.
Exactly should have just kept our mouths shut.Quote:

Harsh that Petrie seems to be getting all the blame. It was a unanimous vote and LD has been the boss getting all the credit for the good stuff so not sure how she's missing the flak here?
Because those who facilitated the corruption are still in there positions of power within the SFA ....they need rooted outQuote:
