Hibs Sack Announcer

[foxfanazer]

Hibernian have sacked their stadium announcer. Hearts are days away from going out of business following an unpaid tax bill of £450,000

The announcer at half time of Hibs vs hearts played "tax man" by the Beatles. Hearts fans obviously took offence to this

lol

wrong but funny.

Remember when did the same when Chesterfield got found out for financial irregularities surrounding the signing of a player - the night we pipped them to the title.

The club denies it was about the song.

Hibernian FC today moved to address supporter concerns around action taken by the Club against the Stadium Announcer.

The Club stressed that speculation that the action had been taken as a song played may have offended supporters of another club is not correct.

Rather the action has been taken because the individual chose to wilfully disregard specific instructions given in the pre-match briefing which itself was consistent with guidance given during the week in the run-up to the match at Easter Road Stadium on Sunday, which was broadcast live on television

[Carl the Llama]

Those instructions being "don't play Tax Man by the Beatles"

[Bert]

My kind of humour.

[Ross-Kemp]

It didn't offend the hearts fans at all.

It's because all tracks played have to be approved by the club.

This one wasn't.

[notnow john]

There must be a long list of tracks he could have got the sack for. I'm going for-

The hearts filthy lesson. David Bowie

Total eclipse of the heart. Bonnie Tyler.

Anymore?

[AyewJoking]

How about N, Sync's Tearing up my Hearts?

At least he went out with a bang, Hearts only have a fans collection totalling £21.35 to look forward to.

What about jessie j. We don't care about the money money

[Fox92]

Great story.

The lyrics to 'Taxman' are brilliant though.

[acooling08]

Would've been great to put 'Sunny Afternoon' by the Kinks on as well

[Captain...]

Didn't they play jailhouse rock for Jamie Lawrence somewhere when he got out, he found it funny, when did the world become such a humourless place.

If any team is ever bought by a Japanese business person, I fully expect other clubs to play a bit of turning Japanese.

I like it, I remember in the mid 90's the mascot at Kilmarnock ran towards the Celtic fans lobbing bars of soap at half yime when Cher's "Gypsys, tramps and thieves" played, more of this sort of stuff please.

Please tell me you can actually see the difference between these two stories.
