Looks like Hibs were stalling us with the board meeting on the 30th chat if the decision has already been made.

'We have gone to the finest solicitor in the land and taken his view ................'

And his view is that no court in the land will punish proven CHEATING ???

Just another example of a large % of people who are in a 'Position of power' in Scottish Football, circling the wagons, as they get ready to protect their club !. The remaining % are those who DON'T favour the Hun but don't want to risk the well-being of their closest family & friends !

Because the SFA and SPFL are both public bodies it's possible for shareholders to pursue a judicial review. This is very expensive but I would think that crowd funding would be able to come up with the £100k required in a morning.

I did, thought we played well enough although difficult to judge as Montrose were very poor.

Crowd funding amongst folk on here would be better spent on the Hibs but you seem to have quelled your HSL trumpeting lately.

Sorry to ask the question on this thread but ozy doesn't reply to questions on other threads when it doesn't suit him. He ignored my question on the match day thread and I see he had also ignored another question on the Stoksey thread. Apologies.

I was at the match today so I've not been on the match day thread? I'll check stokes thread and see if I can find your question there, I doubt I ignored you. Mostly likely just never saw it. I'll check the match thread for you as well even though it's likely to take me ages.

The confusion was I thought it was you who thought we were nowhere near ready. Ozzy I could understand.

To be fair there was a suggestion from the poster in question that Hibs were nowhere near ready to meet Montrose. It is buried in the quagmire of several transfer threads. Scoobyboy I think it was, suggested he might shut up.
And I agree with Badge. Yer man Ozy plagued every thread on transfers last year with his HSL soap boxing and has said nowt this year. Maybe he took Scoopys advice and has shut up after all.

Not surprised if you are trolling him like this.

As far as I can tell, you disagree with his opinion on Hibs readiness for the season ahead. Fine. No need to bang on and on about it, especially on this thread.

I'd like to see where I said we were not ready for Montrose. I'm pretty sure I said we were not ready for the new season. Still aren't.
HSL decided not to push the scheme as much and I'm going along with that. I'm not on the board of HSL, I did that of my own back. I still think it's a great scheme.
It's nice that you both missed me though.

I'd be interested to know what our fans reps thought of this issue. It would be nice if they could come on the board and tell us the club's thoughts on the issue.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If our fans reps express anything other than the clubs line they won't last long on that board neither should they, whether that's through their resigning or being dismissed.

There is a doctrine of corporate responsibility that they either need to adopt or resign if they cant support.

The fans' reps take the support's views to the board, no?

Yes they should.

Then as a board they decide what the consensus view is.

They then need either to support that consensus view publicly or keep schtum or if they cant and it becomes a matter of principle for them that they cannot do so, their only avenue is to resign.

Failing that if they speak out against the board stance, the board should remove them.

I would if they sat on my board.

I am confident it wont come to that.

I agree with most of what you say, but not everything we query, needs to go to the board. At the end of the day Frank and Tracey were elected to support the supporters, whether that is simple queries or major issues
I'm the type who would rather air my personal issues with ether on a one to one basis, but there are other generic things I'd rather post on here

There's a nice piece (NOT) in today's 'Daily Rectum' on Topping's leaving and to be honest, a more honest and accurate appraisal of him and his 'achievements' !


Departing SPFL chairman Ralph Topping has been an armchair general and will not be missed - Gannon

Michael says Topping has witnessed Scotland's football reputation plummet during the the most bonkers period in Scottish football history.



Ralph Topping (Image: Craig Williamson/SNS Group)


Ralph Topping’s SPFL long goodbye is finally upon us and it’s clear his replacement Murdoch MacLennan 
has big shoes to fill. Yeah, like the ones worn by Coco the Clown.

Harsh? Perhaps. But it says a lot about the footprint Topping has 
left on Scottish football that the 
news he was for the off at the end of the month was met by a collective shrug of the shoulders by many and a swift flick of the vickies by a few.
The outgoing chairman is a fairly inoffensive character. On the rare occasions he has spoken he has come across as a decent fellow.




Murdoch MacLennan is the new chief (Image: Telegraph Media Group Ltd) But he has been the seldom seen kid of the Scottish scene for eight years. This has arguably been the most bonkers period in Scottish football history yet the chairman of the entire organisation has 
been hiding under the duvet.
Topping has been an armchair general but we can only hope the 
new man is prepared to get down and dirty on the front line.
As for the soon-to-be-departed’s legacy, it makes pretty grisly reading.

Neil Doncaster and some friendly
 chairmen trot out the party line, 
saying Ralph steered the league through a very challenging period. Really? He might have been steering but 
the league has been 
a buckled trolley 
rolling down a hill.

Go back to when he replaced Lex Gold in 2009. The game was far from perfect but the Scottish league was ranked inside the top 15 in Europe, we had two teams in the Champions League – one straight into 
the groups – and six in European action.




SPL chairman Ralph Topping (Image: SNS) We’re 23rd now 
and God knows where we’re headed after this year’s disasters.
We’ve seen five clubs go into administration, including three of the biggest clubs in the land, and one which went all the way to liquidation.
Speaking of which, the chairman’s pitiful role in the Rangers fiasco is another line on the CV that needs a black marker through it.
Topping is credited for his part in the SPL merger with the SPFL. It was Ralph who got the clubs together, some say. Very good. But while he was twisting the arms of the Brechin City chairman, he managed to kick off the rebranded league without a sponsor.

That alone was a gallows offence. A shiny new product ready to launch and not a bean on board for two years. The same in the League Cup. That was the first job to do, not the last.

Now we’re meant to be grateful he managed to get his pals at Ladbrokes to sink a few quid in? Do us a favour.
If it’s a decent leader’s job to leave behind a stronger product than he inherited then Topping has had a stinker. The new man is going to have to call in the decorators on day one.



Some of Scotland's biggest clubs have been in financial difficulty (Image: SNS Group) A lot of folk will think, ‘Murdoch who? Ach, he’ll be another faceless suit like the man on his way out.’
But he might just surprise. This is a man who spent decades in papers and even managed to make money out of the internet. Folk say the newspaper business – whether print or online – is doomed. But almost two million in Scotland will read something produced by our papers every day.
Use it. Sell Scottish 
football. Get the clubs to open their doors, slash ticket prices and engage with supporters. Find out what fans want and work out a way to deliver it.
There’s more to do. MacLennan has been left holding the stinky nappy of the Rangers tax case.
Meet it head on and stop all the dithering. Go back to Lord Nimmo and see if he wants another look in the wake of the Supreme Court 
decision. If so, get on with it.











Try to tackle the brutal lack of youngsters playing in our top division.

Sort out the unfair play-off system that leaves Championship clubs clapped out by the final.
Knock the bickering chairmen 
into shape and find a structure and calendar that helps not hinders clubs.
Drive a hard bargain when it comes to TV deal negotiations rather than holding up the begging bowl.
The SPFL chairman doesn’t have to be just a referee among the arguing factions. He can be a leader.
Ralph can take the clown shoes with him. Let’s hope to God that 
Murdoch will come in wearing 
steel-toe-capped tackety boots.



The 'Coco the Clown' line is superb !!
