  1. I remember when Hibs had a couple of decent posters in the football forum. Looks like we're left with the dregs.
  2. We were interested in Doidge but he ended up choosing Bolton instead. He got severely fucked about there. We had our eggs in the Cosgrove basket by that point. Turgid football is still turgid football though. Shithousing a win every so often is satisfying. Having to watch it every week, not so much.
  3. This is exactly it. Expect another blog post at some point this month where he declares he can't let down the folk who count on him. Something something gender identification.
  4. Christ. Just ventured on to the hat. A nice reminder of why I stopped posting there.
  5. Once Hibs got the goal they were able to sit in and play more on the counter. We've tried that this season and we'd lost all the pace from the team when Watkins was injured and then Wright left/Hedges got injured. Hedges isn't lightning fast but he gets the ball up the pitch quickly. Hibs will have to recruit this summer. Either to replace the wantaway players, bulk their squad for Europe or both. They've recruited very well over the past couple if years and I'd expect them to do so again. Martin Boyle is such a limited footballer but he's got raw attributes that will always give you a chance in Scottish football. He's ridiculously quick. If I was Hibs I'd be looking to cash in soon because when the pace goes they'll have a less talented version of the Jonny Hayes we've got. Doidge wasn't scoring but he was going to start hitting the net eventually. @RandomGuy. can maybe prove me wrong but I'm pretty certain all the data was showing he was getting in to the right areas. That's preferrable in the long run than a striker on an unsustainable run of form for half a season. Hibs were better than us over the course of a season and deserve third. They were only 6 points better off and that's after taken how poor we have been in to consideration.
  6. Yeah Hedges was direct but needed a Scott Wright type to play off. Kamberi started off so well but I genuinely can't remember him finding a red shirt last night. Yeah. I thought MacKenzie was good on the ball until he tired. There's a noticeable difference between him receiving the ball under pressure compared to Hayes and Considine but we need him to be able to do it for 90 mins. Glass has said he might not everyone he wants in before pre-season. Disappointing but to be expected at this level. It's probably went a bit against us that we were still fighting for third. I expect he would have given a few more of the younger boys a look. I'm struggling to believe Ruth could not have offered at least the same as Kennedy last night.
  7. We've had Rooney and Cosgrove. Both limited footballers but more often than not found the back of the net.
  8. I think this is closer to how I feel than Bob. I thought we looked a better team than Hibs last night. The problem is they have three players who are almost guaranteed to score a goal between them each game. If we score one of the relatively easy chances we had last night then we're not even having this conversation. It was only a few months ago where we'd get maybe one half chance a game and it would fall to Curtis Main, Agree entirely about certain players being slow and ponderous near the box. Kennedy is especially poor for it. Just drive at a man, draw a foul or a corner if you're not going to beat him. No, ever time he checks back. We've fucked about with Jonny Hayes at left back for a season when we've had MacKenzie under our nose. For about 75 mins he looked equal to Doig until he ran out of steam. Getting him to play as consistently well as Doig over the course of a season is the next challenge. I'm struggling to believe that half a season at Forfar prepared him as well as this for first team football but I could be wrong.
  9. Hope so as we've finished where we've finished the past few years...
  10. Haven't read anything about an injury. Got a couple of late sub appearances and looked ok but hasn't been given another go.
  11. As he should be. Very unfair for anyone to be judging Glass when he has little options to choose from. Willie Garner, from Stirling. I like him. Tells it as he sees it. The main commentator is awful.
  12. Hibs putting in a Derek McInnes style performance from a few years ago. McInnes left a shambles of a squad behind. Anyone thinking he'd be doing any better is deluding themselves.
  13. A lot of joy to be had up against McGinn. There'll be chances. Scoring them has been the problem.
  14. I thought that was a decent half of football. We were the better team but Hibs were always in it. We've missed three decent chances and they've scored a lovely goal. So frustrating to see MacKenzie play like this knowing we played with Hayes there for most of the season while he was sent to Forfar. Not a chance he's became as good as this with 15 games for Forfar. EDIT: Campbell would be crucified for McGeouch's 'effort' for that goal.
  15. if Hibs are resting players then I doubt it will be tonight. Makes much more sense to do it against Celtic at the weekend.
  16. Controversial to not use the Jock Brown commentary but do enjoy hearing Ian St John celebrating.
