Hibs just tweeted an open letter from Ron explaining his absence has been down to receiving treatment for cancer.

Hope he fully recovers and we see him back at ER sometime soon

Terrible news none of wants to hear speedy recovery Ron.

Not that it should be needed but hopefully this is another reminder of why we should stop singing that hideous Wallace mercer song

Get well soon Ron.

A hideous song,that should make any descent person cringe!
Imagine someone singing that about your loved one,it's ****ing disgusting.

***RIP*** · 03-02-2023 09:25 PM

Sounds like it's been a long hard battle for
Ron already and its not done yet.

As someone who has a milder inoperable cancer I've spent the past two years volunteering for a cancer charity. I've met so many patients much worse off than myself.

The physical battle is hard enough but the biggest challenge is the uncertainty.
Will surgery work? Will chemo work? Another round, can the body take it?

All we can do is send Ron, Ian and their family the most positive of messages and for those who have a faith, let us pray 🙏

Awful thing to deal with - my brother and mother died of it within weeks of each other a few years back. Wish him all the best and hopefully a quick recovery.

Sorry to hear that mate. Hope you’re doing alright and hope RG is on the mend shortly. God bless you both.

I agree but don't let us deviate from who and what the thread is about Ron and his battle with cancer

***Jonnyboy*** · 03-02-2023 09:37 PM

Like most I guess, I’ve lost loved ones to cancer and it’s a long and painful road which I hope Ron wins the battle.

Thoughts with you and your family, Ron 💜

***Juice-Terry*** · 03-02-2023 09:42 PM

Get well soon Ron. All the best to you and your family. GGTTH!

**Dashing Bob S** · 03-02-2023 09:46 PM

Can only echo the other sentiments on this thread. We need the rest of the board and the CEO to really step up now.

**NAE NOOKIE** · 03-02-2023 09:50 PM

We can all cristicise the owner of the club we support if it's not performing how we would like, it's part of football and it's on page one chapter one of 'the perils of buying a football club' ... it doesn't make you a bad person to do it and it doesn't need an apology.

But that isn't real life ..... THIS is real life ... Above all Ron is a human being, and from what I can see a decent human being, he is also one of our own and no matter our opinion on where the club is just now all we can and should do is wish him all the very best and pass on our good wishes to his family.

So all the best Mr Gordon for a full and speedy recovery, hope to see you back at Easter Road soon.

**Svengali** · 03-02-2023 09:52 PM

Get well soon, Ron.

Horrible disease. Lost my dad, a good hibby, to cancer in 2019 and wouldn't wish it on anyone. Best wishes Ron-keep fighting and beat this.

***Jim Herriot*** · 03-02-2023 11:17 PM

Wishing Ron a speedy recovery. Hope he's back at ER soon.

Imagine being one of these knobheads saying "Ron has been anonymous lately, where is he?!? Coward, asset stripper" etc etc

Hope he has a quick and successful recovery and maybe some folk *might* be a bit less quick to judge as a result of this

Absolutely no need for this.

Nobody would have been saying anything of the sort if they'd known, and everybody wishes him well, as can be seen on this thread.

Apart from you. You're first thought is to have a dig at Hibs fans. Nice. What a thread to do it on.

Are you suggesting nobody can criticise anybody in future in case they're ill? That's an utterly ridiculous position to take. Knobish really.

Get well soon Ron.

**McGruber** · 03-02-2023 11:47 PM

Hope you have a speedy recovery Ron and get back to Easter Road soon. Obviously a lot for Ian to deal with too. Best wishes all the family

***Gerard*** · 04-02-2023 12:03 AM

Cancer is an awful disease . I hope Ron gets fully well soon.
Gerard

***CraigHibee*** · 04-02-2023 12:40 AM

Horrible to hear, just read the open letter, wishing Ron all the very best with his treatment and anyone else that is in the same position 💚

100% agreed with that, absolutely no need

**pepe** · 04-02-2023 01:08 AM

Stay strong Rod, my mum beat it, you can too.

**The Harp Awakes** · 04-02-2023 01:16 AM

Stay strong Ron and you'll beat that horrible illness. God speed the day you get back over to the Holy Ground to see your very special football club. GGTTH

Very sorry to hear this, stay strong Ron and have a healthy recovery.

**Hibees1973** · 04-02-2023 06:47 AM

Wish Ron all the best and hope he makes a full recovery.

Lost my Mum & Dad to cancer in the last few years.

My thoughts are with him and his family.

***BT58*** · 04-02-2023 07:00 AM

Keep fighting Ron, its a horrible disease and hopefully
you will have the strength and treatment to beat it
Hopefully the love and support of your family, friends
will aid you in this battle
God bless.

**LustForLeith** · 04-02-2023 08:13 AM

All the best to Ron

Contrary to popular belief he does care about the club. As do the rest of the board

A chant of There’s Only One Ron Gordon at the game today would be a nice touch
