I believe Rooney can fill in at a few positions on the park but we did sign Elvis on an extension to his deal. On the plus side, it does kinda point to SR being comfortable in his role. With this and the fact that Mackay has been made director of football at hibbies, it bodes well to our manager staying.

Been reading on another platform about this guy and there's plenty of supporters of other teams that would have him in a heartbeat. Me, I'm genuinely very pleased as our manager, time after time, gets the best from players. Roll on next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , when Gowser was in trouble for police assault we stood by him , and it was mostly forgotten , but this is a different BOD and we are pushing the "community club " thing in a big way, we also had the bother with Basher and the dope. Who knows , but I hope it's not too serious and we can get him back in the fold sooner rather ta later ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Mr Needham's alleged involvement in an incident then it could be a case of double standards if the club come down very hard before anything is proven. We should also not forget Kibble's past record in rehabilitation of offenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyond our ken Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 The hate aspect increases the possible punishment for those charged with it hopefully not the end of his career but that is all to be seen my only comment is why was he out on the town after a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigyBoy Posted September 27 Report Share Posted September 27 Obviously due process must occur - however , I credit the club at this stage who " appear" to have acted swiftly and done as much as they could under the circumstances we are currently aware of . Footy defies logic and hate crimes and violence aren't always career ending We all have our opinions - guess at this stage we let the police do their thing and see how this potential mess unfolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hate crime tag being attached to an assault on a female make it very serious from a career perspective and the club must be considering some education and self-awareness training for Shaun even if he is either not taken to court or found not guilty. It will take some fast footwork on this to limit the damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted Thursday at 06:19 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:19 PM Wonder when a decision will be made on Rooney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted Thursday at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:53 PM we will hear when the club are ready, as well as determining the facts, the club will be looking at any next steps either in mitigation or dismissal and any announcement will include the full package. In any event, we can expect that Rooney wont be back this side of Christmas unless the charges are immediately dropped (or maybe an early hearing that results in a favourable verdict).

beyond our ken Posted Friday at 09:09 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:09 PM Takes weeks for a case to come to court and unless the charges are dropped the club won’t conclude the investigation until the verdict and circumstances are made public taking disciplinary action before a verdict may prejudice Rooney’s case. Putting him back in the side would make the club look tolerant of hare crimes so he is firmly in the long grass until something gives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
