Crete Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Rod Petrie is stepping down from the SFA temporarily for health reasons get well soon Rod Quote
Last Laff Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 What’s wrong with him? Must be very serious. Quote
Van Wilder Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Hope it's nothing serious and he recovers. The cynicist in me says, it's a very convenient time for this to happen though. Quote

Lfhearts Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Sounds dodgy as timing wise, especially with who his replacement is. Quote
Craig_ Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Not a fan of the man in any shape of form, but hope he recovers soon. Quote

SectionDJambo Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I’ve not got much, if any, time for the guy. I feel he’s always had a chip on his shoulder about Hearts, and, as far as I can see, hasn’t done us any favours of note. Would not expect favours from a Hibs man, but I just think he would do us harm, just for the hell of it. Might be wrong, but that’s the impression I get. That said, I’m not one to wish poor health on anyone, so I hope he makes a speedy recovery from whatever has befallen him, and that it’s nothing too serious. Quote
Hagar the Horrible Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 The guy is as big a hibby as I am a Jambo, hope he gets well soon Quote
TyphoonJambo Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Can't stand him or anything he stands for. Couldn't find it in myself to wish him ill health though. Edited June 30, 2020 by TypoonJambo Quote
The Gorgie Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Rudi Skacel still scunners him On a serious note wouldn't wish him bad health. Quote
Locky Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Why so much contempt for Petrie? Provided many great memories over the years, and gave me the best day of my life following Hearts. Get well soon Rod. Quote
bigdav Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Always comes to the Remembrance service and shows respect. Get well soon. Quote

Rod Petrie: Scottish FA president steps down temporarily for health reasons https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53240830 Until after the court case 🤣 How convenient given it would be hard for the SFA to give the impression of being an independent arbitrator with him at the helm if the SPFL get their way. No seriously, get well soon you angry ******* and return to give us many more laughs. Edited June 30, 2020 by ToqueJambo Quote

OldGorgie Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Wouldn’t wish I’ll health on anybody but if Hearts went bankrupt and Tynie burnt down, the Tache would be cracking the champagne. Quote
Pistol1874 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 ‘I will work closely with our chief executive, Ian Maxwell, to continue to steer Scottish football through the uncertainty caused by Covid-19.‘ Don't wish Mr Petrie ill and hope he recovers soon. Quote
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I hope he lives to see many, many more Derby day thrashings of his team Quote
jimbrown76 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Given all that is going on with us just now I think it shows the class act we are that everyone on this thread is wishing Petrie well. Get well soon Rod. Quote
Greedy Jambo Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I'm not one for wishing bad health on someone but does he really deserve a thread on JKB wishing him all the best? Quote

Morgan Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Anyone involved in football, regardless of club allegiance, whom, in times of ill health, deserve a thread on here wishing him/her all the very best best in their recovery. The vast majority of people on here are very decent and respectful, Unfortunately, there is always the exception to the rule. Quote

Alloa won’t give a **** if we’re in the league and the SFA have no influence regardless. Petrie won’t be back at the SFA any time soon. Edited June 30, 2020 by Last Laff Quote
1971fozzy Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Never liked him tbh but that aside I sincerely hope he makes a full and healthy recovery . Get well soon and recover well hope to see you at Hampden again looking as miserable as you did in 2012 👍🇱🇻 Quote

He was clearly correct when he said we cheated financially to win the cup. Quote

Aye and when we were going through admin he mentioned at a meeting wi hibs fans things could be worse we could be hearts with a smile on his pus. Anyway like the rest on here i wish him well. Quote
Ex member of the SaS Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Don't wish him any ill will but can't get all PC wishing him well either. The timing of this is very odd and what's with the temporary bit? He either stands down or takes a leave of absence. There is far more to this than meets the eye. Quote
MarkDevriesScores4 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 This absolutely stinks. Why would they announce he is “temporarily standing down”? Surely the announcement is that Rod is unwell and hopes to return once recovered? The timing of this and the fact he has temporarily stood down when there was no requirement for him to do so makes me think there is more to this than meets the eye. I also would not wish unwell upon the man. He gave hearts a lot to celebrate with his poor football club. Hearts legend if anything 😂 Quote
