Without coming across as being too James Bondish or Celtic paranoiac, I sent a 'dossier' to the club about Craig Thomson's performances against us over recent seasons. Reply below.
Dear CA
Thank you for your email. Your points are noted and certainly some of the sentiment is shared by the Club.
We have collated supporter feedback to add to our own regarding the refereeing of the Cup Final and other games and will take that forward to the appropriate bodies. As ever, we will do this professionally and via the correct channels, and rest assured we will always take on those who are against Hibernian. On any issue facing the Club or the wider game in Scotland. There are many challenges facing us at the moment.
Thanks again for writing in and Ihope you appreciate that I cannot be as expansive by way of reply. Yourfeedback is appreciated.
All the best
Fife

Quite right.
It's about time we, as a club, started standing up for ourselves a bit more. Although he can't be held fully responsible for our cup final collapse, the game could have been a whole lot different if it had a less corrupt referee in charge.

I understand why the club do it quietly and professionally but I think there's an argument to take the whole thing public with Thomson.
I said before the final he wasn't biased just pish....I was wrong, to not send black off and then give them that penalty was the actions of a cheat and everyone should be made aware of what he's really all about.

Hmmm. Not sure the professional approach and doing things via the correct channels is working.
The club put in a protest to the SFA about the cup final appointment prior to the match and it was ignored.
The club needs to be seen to stand up for itself. The appointment of Thomson and his subsequent performance was an utter disgrace, and Hibs should be saying so publicly IMO.

Can't be arsed with this at all. Thomson had a bad final, the players wearing Hibs strips were an absolute disgrace and had been all season. The only people who are "against Hibs" are the ***te players we've had the misfortune of watching recently. All efforts need to be focused on making sure this doesn't happen again instead of trying to pretend there's been any agenda against us which is fanciful, embarrassing and a complete waste of time.

Do you reckon the penalty was inside the box?
Do you think Kujabi's foul on Suso was any worse than Skacel's foul on Stevenson?
The first two are major turning points in the game. Major decisions that have gone against Hibs.
Thomson is a cheat, plain and simple. If that makes me sound fanciful or embarassing then so be it. That's how it is though.

We have been terrible all season no need to blame anyone else, refs included , except the Hibs team.
Some incidents may well have gone against us, but Hearts would still have won that game easily.

Ok, but still don't think we have grounds for complaint. I think he is a poor ref, but I do not think he is a cheat.

I'd much prefer that we had an evens chance of securing three ponts at each of our home games next season.

Yes Thomdon did make a lot of decisions that were more than questionable!
However we were not at the races, quite a few neutrals came up and told me how one sided the final was. We had no fight nor passion. We gave it away .... We cant keep blaming others for the problems we have had for a few seasons. We cannot afford the calibre of player we want but on the other cannot seem to produce any youngsters that can make it in the first team. Maybe like the riordans , browns etc they just need more time and better players to play with to improve??

If they were down to ten men then we might have won it easily.
If a free kick was given and kujabi shown his first yellow we might have continued to get back into the game, which we had been doing since we scored. Hearts were rocking at the end of the first half.
I'm sorry but we were cheated!

I thought that was a decent response from the club and it sounds like they are doing something about it. I am glad to hear that. Of course, we would be mad to think the SFA would actually do anything about it. Nevertheless, it will be unwanted pressure and attention for him.
Speaking of which....what games is he reffing at the Euros? Here's hoping he has as bad a stinker there and suffers utter ridicule and humiliation in front of a world tv audience. My fingers are firmly crossed...

But we'll never know whether the second half might have been different thanks to one of those glaring errors of Thomson's. Even if we had lost, it wouldn't have been by a four goal margin.

It is possible to focus on two issues at the one time, rather than by focussing on one being in denial of the other.
