Winning the league I can almost understand but oh no, not a flag unveiling- that should make the runners up more determined to win the league back the season there. You must be new to Scottish football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean we should never question decisions like this because it’s just always been the same. Let them play the first game for a change, let them both scud each other if they want and then both teams won’t have maximum points and one of the teams will probably be under serious pressure after the first game. Sounds good to me. Edited July 23, 2022 by Hoose Rice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would second be okay? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the boot was on the other foot and Hearts had been knocked out of the league cup and Hibs were in the Europa League would you be OK with the game going ahead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said in it you would never get a Glasgow or Manchester derby first game of the season and why was that? Gordon’s point was the league should be helping every club maximise revenue which I agree he has a point. I also believe it was try to be deflecting and he should also remember before going into a tirade over fixtures and money that sacking Jack Ross and brining in Maloney imo cost us another home derby last season and a game at home against either Celtic or Rangers. I’m out now before the heads gone comments start appearing which would kind of be ironic considering my recent past have a nice afternoon at Golden Gary’s testimonial- for his sake I hope it pishes it down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m okay with the game going ahead in two weeks anyway, in fact I can’t wait.

craigkillie Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Seems like the failing Hibs' chairman's shameless attempt to deflect from the shambles he's presiding over on and off the park is actually working. He's finally got something right I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also chat of umbrellas being confiscated by the 'security partners'. Absolutely wild. Edited July 23, 2022 by The Naitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
