HIBS rejected the Compliance Officer’s offer of a two-match ban for Darnell Johnson following his challenge on Celtic’s Emilio Izaguirre.
And SunSport understands Hibees are raging that Jozo Simunovic, Scott Brown AND Oliver Burke escaped punishment for incidents during Wednesday’s Parkhead clash

Johnson, who joined on loan from Leicester last week, left Izaguirre in agony after a challenge during Celtic’s 2-0 win.
But he later took to social media to insist there was no intent in the tackle.

He tweeted: “I always try to challenge fairly.”
Hibs have now backed their defender, who is free to play in this afternoon’s Scottish Cup clash with Raith Rovers.

And at the same time they are privately aggrieved Simunovic’s challenge on Oli Shaw, a Brown tackle on Mark Milligan and an alleged dive by Burke were not deemed worthy of being cited.
 
Let’s wait and see,they may well make a noise after their game.
If we are going to do anything I’d expect any statement etc to come after our match,all focus should be on an extremely important game tomorrow.
 
Would have a lot more respect for that mob if they came out and publicly slammed the decision not to cite Burke, Simunovic and Brown (even though he was booked).

To rage “privately” achieves fück all but keeps them nicely onside with their crash barrier cousins in Glasgow.

Two cheeks of the same arse those two clubs.
 
Did anyone expect anything else, after our game on Wednesday, that lot say and do nothing, they are back to their usual place in the grand opera that is our football, %^*& them they run with the Tims, god they are Tims, they will say nothing and do nothing,at is their way against the big Tims, just another one who tried to kill my club, scum all of them.

It doesn't matter Brown was booked. The Hibs player who was cited today for the tackle on Izzaguere was booked, but the Compliance Officer decided it was so violent it should be referred as should have been red.
McKinnon of Hamilton got a yellow changed to a red and 2 game ban earlier this season.
 
The Hibs lad can play tomorrow, yet Rangers AGAIN are fast tracked and lose Alfredo..??! Not good enough Rangers, simply not good enough. A ban is one thing, but the SFA going out of their way to ban our players when others are left available for other teams is a genuine scandal..!

Another fact for your growing list @buc11
 
You lie with dogs you get fleas.it'll all come home to roost with these Arseholes that jumped into bed with the scum

Holy Christ this gets even worse then.

Him and Burke are absolutely bang to rites here then. Answers are needed.
 
Burke can't be cited because there wasn't a foul awarded to him. That's the rules.

I'm glad Hibs have spoke up though. Really sick of it just being us who are trying to highlight this sort of thing, the more clubs speaking out the better because there's no way this current system is fair.

How can the Hibs boy get booked but then be offered a 2 match ban tonight instead? Yet Scott Brown crunched a Hibs player (again! Pretty sure he done the same player a while back?) and nothing happens. Then Simunovic gets away scot free as well. Pathetic.

The media have a lot to answer for.

The evidence is starting to get a bit overwhelming isn't it?
 
Burke was never going to be cited as no advantage was gained from his pathetic attempt at a dive.

It's no bad thing that others clubs are pissed off at the seemingly haphazard criteria used in the disciplinary process. It can only help our case when we choose to comment on today and hopefully seek change of this farce of a system.

We appealed a red card and lost (wrongly in my view)

The Hibs player was not red carded but cited. If he accepted the two game ban he would also miss tomorrow, similarly with McGregor. They have appealed so can play.

You are not comparing the same type of situation.

These rules are absolute bonkers, yellow card by the referee and then upgraded to a red and offered a two match ban and can still play in the Scottish cup tie.

Referee takes no action against McGregor and had a clear view of it, CO offers him a two match ban.

So in effect the referees are being totally undermined by the very people who employ them, by making these decisions they are making referees look stupid, fair enough if they miss incidents, but they are over ruling decisions referees have already dealt with, If these people think referees got it wrong,then why don't they take the place of the referees.

Let's look at another scenario, If the same people can change decisions,then why with all the video evidence do they allow goals to stand and rob other clubs of points when other teams cheat to win penalty's by blatantly diving. Yes there have been players cited for it but it doesn't make a jot of difference to the team the player cheated when the punishment is after the game has finished days earlier and his goal from a penalty that never was still counts and the other team lose points, why isn't the result ammended and the goal removed.

Look at the Jordan Rhodes dive,given a two match ban for simulation,earned his side a draw by doing so and cost Dundee two points, so given they are admitting to Rhodes cheating why didn't they remove the goal,award all three points to Dundee as it would have finished 2-1 and deducted two points from Kilmarnock and removed the goal from Kilmarnocks goals for total.

How did Rhodes cheating and being banned for two matches actually help Dundee when they were the ones cheated out of all three points and lost two points that could be vital in any relegation battle.

Yes but Alfie was sent off mate the other player booked.
Hibs player same as Shagger pal.
 
Is it just a leaked quote or an official statement though ?

It’s nothing. No statement from them whatsoever. Just seems like someone has said it to a journo ‘off the record’.

They should be publicly highlighting the hypocrisy in the system and the outright cheating by Burke that supposedly cannot face punishment.

No doubt they won’t though and after today’s games it’ll all have been swept under the carpet as usual.
 
Instead of being privately aggrieved they should grow a set of balls and speak up.

If it was against us the statement would already have been released
 
The SFA now need too look at every tackle and incident in every game they can't just pick and choose depending on which ones are highlighted by the media.
