He answered the question.Why should he care what Celtic and Aberdeen think?Are people in football to be censored in case someone disagrees with them.I don’t think Aberdeen base their transfer policy on another club’s owner being quoted on something.If points deduction became the rule I would be very annoyed if we suffered it(but not with the rule).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Hibs TV shouldn't be asking loaded questions.
Some people complain that RG isn't visible enough. Look what happens when he does give an interview, the media twist it for their own ends and blow it up out of proportion. 😂

It's football. Press take something and make it into a story.
Then push the buttons of people they know they'll get a rise out of / good quote from.
Like NL.
Getting upset by it is pointless - it's banter.
Not unlike the folk who ride a player about his personal life / weight / rumoured sexual predilections from the terracing for most of a
game and then want the Police to arrest the player when he flicks the V's at them as he's subbed.
As for points deductions - not a fan in this situation.
Unless you have an enforced bubble players will misbehave and it'll be a mockery of a league campaign if it finishes with points deductions everywhere.
Imagine being where we're at now near the end of the season and dropping down the league because a couple of players act like inconsiderate douches?
I'm not belittling the health aspect btw but it's got **** all to do with football league positions.

I see the Sun is picking up on this now, with Derek McWinless also slating Ron.

Don't think the press or media have ever tried to drum a story before!!!!

Budge answers a question from the media, she’s a visionary. Ron Gordon answers one, he’s vilified. For what it’s worth I totally agree that a points deduction is something that should be considered.

Surely worth a lot more criticism than a team who cancel a match as the results aren't available.
Funny that.

The question for me is why a world-class administrator like Neil Doncaster hadn't put proposals forward about the penalties for breaching regulations. When you're putting procedures in place for Covid or anything else part of the exercise should automatically be to include appropriate punishments for infringements.

Now don't get me wrong, I found it hilarious Hearts getting relegated and I also think that the decision was correct.
Unless you restructured the league (which I think penalizes everybody with a **** set up) you either have to penalize Dundee Utd (who did the business on the park) or Hearts (who categorically didn't).
That said many on here - probably including myself - would have been raging had we been in that position as the claim would have been we had 8 matches to make up a 4 point gap.
The fact that nobody watching (including a sizeable chunk in Gorgie) thought there was the chance of them even picking up 4 points in 8 games never mind picking up 4 more points than Hamilton is immaterial to the sense of injustice.
Now imagine how anyone would respond if we start making those kind of calls based on matters entirely unrelated to the football pitch.
(and yes there's precedent with insolvency / admin based deductions but they are rare and to an extent brought on by the club themselves failing to correctly manage their finances rather than exerting a level of control over all their employees in extremely unusual circumstances and without any legislative framework or support).

Is it just me or is it not a bit of a coincidence that this nonstory has blown up after Boli and the Aberdeen players were ********s. Funny but I’ve only heard Mcinnes and Lennon bumping their gums over this invented story. Sounds like they are trying to deflect from their players behaviour. I know it’s tomorrow fish and chips wrapper but noticeable nonetheless. Also Mcrorie signing to appease the dons fans when the bans hit.

Ron’s intervention probably means that this issue will now get priority, which is a good thing. Personally I don’t think points deductions is the way to go but our clever chairman has brought the issue to the forefront now. This should mean more clarity for the season ahead.

I doubt hardly any of the media have listened to Ron's interview. As far as I know it is only available to season ticket holders or Hibs TV subscribers. Lennon and McInnes's responses are based on Chinese whispers.
Hibs should put the whole interview on the YouTube channel so at least any criticism is based on what he actually said rather than some member of the media's misrepresentation of it. Probably too late now though, I suppose it will die down soon enough.

I’ve always found Mcinnes to be pretty balanced and sensible enough. But I’m not sure what exactly he is unhappy about.
“It was our turn to take a bit of a kicking” seems to suggest he thinks criticism has been unfair and that others have been doing the same but not punished?
And who exactly is he calling hypocritical?
Can understand being fed up of this **** but all a bit bizarre for me. You’ve been let down by the players, as manager you are representing them in front of the cameras - apologise, take your medicine and move on. Even if not personally at fault that would be strong leadership to me.
Don’t come out calling others hypocrites, suggesting come on guys enough is enough stop battering us it will be someone else next week ach well these things happen.
Went down in my estimation when he said that and I would luv it luv it if we beat them.Last edited by Bobby's Cinema; 19-08-2020 at 05:32 PM.
