Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Time to step up, time to put your ability to gather media attention to good use Yesterday was nothing short of criminal, nevermind the result or the performance, there are other discussions for that, we lost, deservedly so, what we need now is loud and consistent questioning of yesterdays actions by the hibs supporters The fanbase need a leader now, or leaders, the club will likely not be able to go as far as the fans can go (the reasons for that we'll leave for discussion elsewhere), we need someone to step up and unite us in a concentrated effort to obtain justice that is most likely being swept under a very large fucking carpet right now Agendas aside, the fanbase has been cracked and divided for years now, we all have our opinions on previous actions, however that can and WILL all be put aside if strong action and words are seen to be leading us in this clear bias towards our club, players, staff and fanbase, Time to step up guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 People on Facebook have liked some stuff Houston has said and it has appeared on my timeline, he has written a couple of pieces already, but we need mainline media attention. Â Club1872 need to step up and shows us what they are about. I know we don't like marches ?, but one might need organised to Hampden again to get more media attention, and invite the English media rather than Scottish.

tannerall 25,935 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Those guys are just like any other career politicians which the country is now riddled with. They will only follow agendas which suit their own ambitions, and not necessarily the true fans or even the best interest of the club. They do not speak for me.

Nonsense, I know for a fact that Craig had no connections in the press when he started SOS, just pure doggedness and a desire to help is all he had and like him or loathe him he done well. I'm sure it would be easy to get the contact details of everyone in the media if you really wanted to, but I have this feeling that you won't RM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
