    Eh? I'm asking a question that, if answered, might sell a few more tickets.

    Sorry if that offends your delicate sensibilities.

    What's with the dig at the posters? They are asking a genuine question - what % is going to charity? I am interested to know as well and a 50/50 split will see me attend.

    What "snide comments" is that? I asked one question which, I thought was quite simple and straight forward. I dont know how many events there have been. A few I think...

    Take it that's allowed i.e. asking questions about Hibs matters on a Hibs board like? Or has someone re-written the rules to outlaw it?



    Thanks for allowing me not to go as well, should I so decide - glad we sorted that out

    Another one??

    Think I'll skip it, I'll maybe go along to his Halloween Big Farewell or the Big Spectacular Ian Murray Farewell Fireworks Night in November.

    If I miss them I'll just make sure to go along to his 1-year-on do's next year.

    The original dinner was canceled due to the Hearts game being changed for tv. This is the final event in his Testimonial year.

    FFS I'm not a big fan of his but hope his dinner goes well. He is a Hibbie and always tried so I hope his day goes well.

    I know that we're not allowed to say anything negative about this but it really grates with me that you've been blanking the charity question for around a year now.

    I'd have more respect for you and the whole 'Ian Murray Testimonial' thing if someone had the balls to just say 'very little is going to charity'. I might have also gone to a couple of events if an answer, any answer, had been given.

    Must admit I'm in this camp as well.

    The charity question has been asked many, many times and totally blanked every single time.

    I'm generally not a fan of testimonials for players as they, even at SPL level, make enough money throughout their career. I don't buy this short career nonsense either, players know its a short career so of they choose not to begin retraining or to further their education when they are earning big that's their fault frankly. There are of course exceptions, players getting badly injured at a young age etc.

    The exception I always make is if the proceeds are going to a good cause. Had the answer been given that 10 or 20% was going to charity i would have probably gone to one of the events. As it was no answer was ever forthcoming so I kept my money in my pocket.

    No comment on EBT. Then when asked about putting rangers into div 3 stated that fans don't see the whole picture.

    The same fans that are paying to go along to his dinner?

    Cop out. Go on and explain the whole picture then. Explain to us once more the extenuating circumstances that mean the Old Firm can't be relegated, thus relegating sporting integrity itself in Scottish Football to a more mythical status than the cyclops and griffin put together. I'll watch WWE if I want to see pretend sporting endeavour. While he's about it, he could explain his understanding of the EBT he received, and when he intends paying it back. It would clear this all up in double-quick time, really it would.

    What an erse, why did he not explain what we cant see? Perhaps he's donating some of his testimonial money towards saving the huns?

    That should pay part of the newsagents bill.

    To answer a few of the questions asked elsewhere on this thread -

    Ian Murray's Testimonial Season consists of 4 events

    Comedy Day
    Darts Day
    Match
    Dinner
    The Committee have worked hard to organise these events and given the Hibs supporters the opportunity to see World Champions such as Vieira, Pires, Lewis and Bristow as well as top entertainers such as Andrew Maxwell and the Proclaimers

    A charity was picked by Ian Murray for each event and a donation of the nett profits was paid to each charity
    The percentages varied but a minimum sum of 10% has been paid to Diambars, Bethany Trust and Hibernian Community Foundation . Once we have worked out profits for next months Dinner a donation will be made to Marie Curie Hospice.

    Ian Murray picked up £95,000 (For 43 games) from Rangers from his EBT according to the BBC website and that was on top of his salary so you can hardly blame him for not answering the question.He came across as someone rather thick and partonising as the 'fans don't see the full picture'.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...-west-18148818


    Oh they do, Ian they do and I made all my decisions about your testimonial year a long time ago.
