I started watching Hibs in 1962 and in that time I don`t honestly believe that we have been on the wrong end of too many "bad decisions" but the one in question has by far the greatest bearing on where we play next season.
Over the years Rangers and Celtic have criticised referees and at times accused them of religious bias but I can`t remember one decision that might have cost them a place in the SPFL. I think many Hibs fans feel that is now a very real possibility.
This thread isn't about errors, mistakes, human frailty, poor judgement, fan pressure from the stands or plain stupidity.
It's a suggestion of match fixing: a criminal conspiracy to - in this case - cause Hibs to draw 2-2 with Falkirk and more generally stop them getting promoted.
It's a load of nonsense and pure sour grapes.
My post about Hibs' players wasn't a joke - you can't fix a game specifically for one team to win...you fix it for one team to lose. And the scenarios are different: in order to ensure a negative result for Hibs it's the Hibs players that need to be involved in the match fixing. They are the ones who can't guarantee a victory but can guarantee a defeat (or not winning as we have here).
Only from one other group of fans have I ever encountered such claims. Well done Hibs, tinfoil hats on and stand to attention.
Ah, now we have anti-Hibs match fixing in European competition.
This'll be why you've never won a European competition, never mind over a century waiting for the SC.
And I'm trying to draw a reaction. FFS you'd need to be sniffing glue to agree with this load of pish.
