Living in Edinburgh your going to be subjected to the Hibs / Hearts banter/chat, difficult to get away from.
I can see where you are coming from but surly you can understand why this would be well publicised and discussed on Hibs forums? Lets be honest its potentially a big deal, and to think Hearts could be punished as a result makes it a big deal. Obviously I wouldnt think it would be as discussed had it not been our rivals.
I totally agree you are within your rights to follow this up, get the clarity on it and move on, regardless of the outcome. I feel ICT have conducted themselves with alot of dignity on this matter so far, if it had been certain other clubs im not suire it would have been dealt with in the mannor ICT have so far.
The sad thing is I wouldnt be surprised if the SFA try to sweep it under the carpet and pan you guys of with some excuse and apology. After all our powers at be have a habit of making a balls of things so its anyones guess what will happen if indeed he was ineligable.
I wish you guys all the best whatever the outcome (just stop churning out so many good results and let us overtake you )
