    That’s an excellent update and great to see the club sharing news like us. 
     

    Interested to read about the ST app. The numpty, sorry, my mate who sorted out my ST while I was away ticked the physical card box. Can I use the app?  More likely to lose the card than my phone. 

    I opted for the physical card, purely out of habit, but I can also access it via the app.

  2. I'm not overly concerned about our striking options.

    Last season it was based around having battering rams up front and being physical.

    This year, whilst we still have that to an extent, we've added more pace and mobility.

    We had one plan and one plan only last year. From looking at the squad, I'm more confident that we have a Plan A and, at very least, a Plan B when things aren't quite going to plan.

  3. Might as well bring Ronan, Hladky, Popescu and Dorman back too.

    We don’t always have to re-sign guys who were decent for us.

    I think McGrath is a decent player. But barring his spell with us he has ranged from distinctly average to dog shit.

    Even when he did play for us, if he wasn’t the penalty taker when we won the most  penalties in living memory then I highly doubt we’d even still be talking about him.

    See that Vinegaard is going to la Vuelta, with Remco defending his title there. Not sure what Ineos are planning, but it sounds like Pogacar is giving it a miss and perhaps doing the Worlds in Scotland instead.

    Geraint Thomas is Vuelta-bound.

    f**k me. I just saw the Vuelta starts with a team time trial. Jumbo could have this wrapped up on stage 1.

    I get that feeling.  I still think it's the guy Presley as it refers to a deal done with his club . Still I think now that we have added Mandron , McMenamin and Nahmani we are not in a hurry . Think we need to sign a couple of defenders now . 

    That would be ludicrous if we have reached a deal for Pressley and they then risk injury by playing him in a friendly before he joins us. If it is him that’s just disrespectful and the club would be within it’s rights to be pissed off.

  6. Fairly interesting tactics from Pog yesterday. Were his attacks in protest at Philipsen publicly scolding Eenkhoorn a few days ago when he tried to join the break? That was my initial thought when I saw him go off the front.

    Piss poor from Jumbo following Pog too. You have 7.29 on the guy and we're in Paris for the final sprint. He's not taking that time back. Calm down lads.

    From watching yesterday, it was evident Pog was in the bunch heading into the final corner. Word was that Vingegaard and Jumbo had sat up to roll in and crossed the line 2 mins down on the bunch sprint, but I see he still beat Pog by 7.29. Not sure how that worked out.

  7. Robbo pretty much confirms that Carson will be away. So for me, a GK, LB and one more ST and I'd be happy with the squad.

    I would be surprised if all 3 of Olusanya, Jamieson and Offord are all here come the first league game. With another month to go of the window, there's plenty of time for comings and goings.

    I'm comfortble that the management will have targets - other than the mentioned forward - in mind and we just have to be patient.

    I'm delighted there's no rumours or hints at who else could be coming in. The business should kept totally under wraps until it's official. I think a massive section of the support just has to chill out a wee bit, be patient and see where we are come August 31.

  8. The Philipsen incident was bizarre.

    Why would Eenkhoorn not go and join his team mate up the road in a very small breakaway?

    Ok he didn't win, but the breakaway did, so it was very clearly the correct decision.

    Odd stuff.

    I think it's more perception than reality that Hibs sack managers frequently. We gave Jack Ross the bullet and Maloney soon after, and it appeared like the same fate might await Johnson but it didn't and he's still here and doing well. Prior to that you'd have to look at Heckingbottom for being another manager given relatively short shrift with those appointed either side of him given decent time.

    You've had 8 managers in that last 10 years - not including caretakers. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Hibs, certainly in modern times, are pretty trigger happy when it comes to sacking managers.

  10. Can you imagine what would be being said if this was Sky and Froome?

    This looks like it could end up being the biggest winning margin since 2002.

    There are actually folk claiming that Vingegaard took almost 2 minutes out of Pogacar in the TT because he "went round the corners a bit faster". Fucking hell.

  11. I'm seeing a fair few Tweets today saying that Vingegaard was on a very good day and that Pog blew up.

    What a crock of shite. Pogacar blew everyone else away - including how many national TT champs?

    He did not blow up, but Vingegaard went up the final climb about a minute faster than Pog - whilst on a TT bike.

    If you can't see the obvious then you'll never suspect anything. f**k me.

    Those pesky Danes really love doping, don't they?
