Dearie me

[DaveF]

Cringeworthy.

If anyone is at the fans forum today, bring this up and have the person responsible booted up the arse.

[HH81]

Where is it telling you to bet on Rangers? Reading the content it's all hibs bets it it not?

Imagine if the title said...... Place your bets on Rangers Game... typing error if you ask me. No big deal if you ask me.

[marinello59]

Think I'll just head back up the road then. Geezus.

I know the content is fine, but the stupid bold headline smacks of a lazy, cant be arsed rush job.

Does no one check these sort of things?

I'm pretty sure that it mean't to say "Place your bets on Hibs."

Very poor mistake that everybody but the editor seems to have picked up.

[frazeHFC]

Expect the worse, never be disappointed!

[joe breezy]

Bad headline, poor copywriting...

[Hibbyradge]

I've complained.

Do you expect odds or things tobe changed as were Hibs fans? Surely stating the odds and stating were underdogs is only correct isnt it? Muppet!

I'm going to complain.
Surely we are underdogs therefore promoting betting on Hibs to beat rangers is encouraging people to lose money. very poor in these times of financial constraints does no one read these headlines and think of every single thing on the planet that can be thought about? Pure lazy.

Perhaps it may even lead to law suits for poor advice.

[Spike Mandela]

**** me there are some serious so and so's on this site. Nobody wis that bothered about it , it wis just a wee laugh at a typo. Calm yourselves gents.

[joe breezy]

In hindsight this was great financial advice from Hibs, if we'd all put a few hundred on Rangers to win we would have a bit more money for Xmas presents now

[Hibbyradge]

Reply from Hibs. I'm happy with the reply and the correction.


Hi Dave

Thanks for your email. Your valid point has been noted and any such error will not happen again on www.hibernianfc.co.uk.

The length of the headline meant that the all-important word ‘match’ which should’ve been at the end was excluded leading to a totally inappropriate headline.

It goes without saying that the club would never encourage any supporter to bet against the team. That is illustrated in the secondary headline ‘Back Hibernian with Scotbet.com’.

Unfortunately the story was posted at close of play on Friday afternoon (4.56pm) and the error wasn’t picked up until Saturday morning. Rest assured, this won’t happen again.

Apologies if the headline caused any embarrassment or offence; it was an avoidable error that won’t be allowed to happen again.

Many thanks for your continued support

Kind regards

So you'll spend your money in the pub instead of going to support Hibs at the game yet you are upset by this?

Strange.

You're the strange one.

Where does it say that I have to spend my money in a particular way before I'm allowed to have an opinion on Hibs public relations?

How do you know what I said to Hibs? How do you know I was upset?

Presumably you weren't bothered by the team you pay to see advising their fans to bet against them.

Well, that's your choice, but if Hibs are serious about getting people like me through the doors again, they should be promoting our team's chances rather than telling us to bet on Rangers.

They were not telling anyone to bet on Rangers. It was evident from the article that the heading was a mistake and it was fixed long before the game.

[bawheid]

I can't get that annoyed about this.

Exactly, which is why I couldn't quite put toghether why someone would take the time to complain about it when they wouldn't take the time to get to the game itself. Spending the same amount of money in the pub as would have been spent at the game.

The headline said "Place your bets on Rangers". When I read that, regardless of what the article said, I didn't read it to mean "Place your bets on Hibs".

Also, it wasn't corrected until after I emailed them with a screen print.

Obviously the subtleties in life just pass you by.

[Spike Mandela]

Somebody had to contact them to correct the headline, it was embarrassing for a professionally run official site, but at the end of the day it was just a a silly wee error. Not really something worth falling out over whether you were at the game or not.

Lighten up lads it's nearly Christmas
