Yip. Own about 30% of the shares in the club currently. 3m still to go and majority ownership achieved.

Won the Scottish Cup, got to another final, and lost 2 semi finals in the last 3 years. It was a nightmare period. We demand better. Only qualified for Europe once ffs. Hearts done what in that period?

Inaugural European Cup Semi Finalists m9.

Peterhead. Dunfermline. 3rd. Glass houses. Etc.

I've always thought that was a weird Jambo thing tbh. "Hibs, lol, they got invited to the first ever European Cup". Aye, invited because we were acknowledged as being a European superpower who showed it by reaching the semi final of the inaugural tournament... And that's something we should be ashamed of somehow [emoji174]

Hibs Scottish Cup win 2016 > winning WW1.

I have. They might act like good c***s and open the west stand for them to queue in. They've done that before.

Lafferty, 4 goals in 3. Simon Murray, 5 goals in 3. After the league cup stages last season Brian Graham was the top scorer in Scotland... Haven't we been hearing for 3 years now about how Hearts are going to dominate Hibs because "Stevenson is shite, Walker will destroy him" "Hanlon is soft, Goncalves will tear him apart" "Djoum is a top player" etc etc. Hasn't happened. Quite the opposite.

Club on the up. Which is usually when it comes crashing down...

Couple of my mates picked them up. They go most weeks, but reckon they'll be fine punting them on for any games they can't make. Plus, hunbrox tickets without an issue.

Night games are a nightmare for parking tbh. Streets around are rammed by 6. Meadowbank retail park or the Tesco at the foot of Easter Road might be your best bet. Either way you will be a good 10 minutes walk away.

Think the reason we're signing Whittaker is because he can play as a wing back on either side. If we play a 5-3-2 all season you can't ask (especially) Gray and Stevenson to play every game. Could see them basically rotating every game.

Gary Mackay too? 6k at his testimonial. The crowd at Leveins first testimonial was 2700. He had a second testimonial against Hibs. 8k at that, including about 2 thousand Hibbies. So one of Hearts favourite players had 2 testimonials, the second after his career was finished by injury. Less jambos went to them combined than Lewis Stevenson got today. Understandable given that Stevenson has won medals I suppose.

I mean, I'm going but why on earth would I have bothered to get a ticket in advance? I'll just get one at the pod before the game. It's not like there's going to be a sell out.

Mates with my wee brother. His opinion of him is "absolutely rapid and will take chances, but he might struggle a bit with very physical defenders". I think he got booted upside down at Stenny last season and has had to work out how to avoid it. Lennon apparently likes him fwiw. Very encouraging.

It's from the Gorgie Rd end.

No how it works. If we have a sell on fee then St Mirren get their percentage of that. Mind the Steven Fletcher one where we got hefty amounts for him going from Burnley...

Could be that the fee is 33% of what Hibs get after tax, agent fees, Mcginns percentage etc.

1. Aye, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. You probably missed it, but Swanson had an interview recently where his agent told him a club pulled out of a contract offer for him when they learned he'd had depression. I'd imagine there would be an even higher bar with a manager. It's no right, but it will be the case. 2. I was talking about jacking Hibs.

Thing with Lennon is that Hibs are his most realistic chance of getting another job. He kindae fucked the Bolton job, even though there were mitigating circumstances, so can't see too many English clubs taking a chance on him. Where the f**k else would he go in Scotland cause it's clear he's not getting the Celtic job again... He's had some mental health issues, and you're insane if you don't think plenty of clubs won't touch him because of that. So where realistically can Lennon go from Hibs atm. If he's jacking it altogether fair enough. But he's finished if he was to do that imo.

Which had the brilliant idea of an orange band masquerading as a "community band" playing at half time... Went down exceptionally well with the Hibs support who gave hundreds of quid in change to them as they paraded past.

Efe is life, Efe is love.

Is Hanlon due a testimonial this year? Made his debut under Mixu so must be about due?

I think we're going to be playing a 3-5-2, and I think Whittaker will be played on both flanks with him replacing Gray and Stevenson a third of the time. Whittaker is not young, neither is Gray. Asking them to play as wing backs all season is not realistic cause that's a c**t of a shift. Looking at the squad a 3-5-2 makes sense. We're short of wingers, but we've got a decent set of central midfielders. Mcginn, Bartley and Mcgeouch is well balanced for playing a 3 in there. You get control via Mcgeouch, a physical blocking presence with Bartley and a bundle of energy with Mcginn. That leaves Swanson to either play off the striker or out wide cutting in.
