The redundancies in sports science that he'll create if he ever gets back on the pitch though.

True enough. The glory those two have led and will lead us to, cannot be underestimated.

Steroided drug money cheats and thieving scum beat poverty level talent? How is that the greatest image that exists?

It's been a long time coming and we've got no-one even close to being as committed to the club in the squad, but it's still the right decision.

We're losing that Livi game, I'm calling it now.

ALF is leaving according to the Record and this interesting snippet re: Montgonnery from the Bounce: I’m glad you’ve called out the patronising comments and his mannerisms. He’s utterly unlikeable and I’d stomach that if he was a good manger but he’s rotten. One of the worst in recent memory and thats saying something. The CEO was right to want him sacked after the St Johnstone game and IG should’ve told the Board to f**k Off when they said they wouldn’t stand behind another sacking.

All part of our entitled 'We're a big club' delusion.

We're quite an innovative team in terms of how we keep finding new ways to lose. Apart from that, nothing new learned today. I'll repeat what I said just over a month ago, I wouldn't keep a single player of this squad. Not the kids, not cold pasta Marcondes, none of them.

Can any team outside the OF match that in the same timeframe?

Two possibilities to my mind. 1. We tit about like we always do and quote words such as 'potential' 'big club' 'infrastructure' etc while finishing 6th/7th 2. Bill actually turns us into a side. My money's on #1.

We'll create 19 chances and score 1 which will be ruled out by VAR.

Quick answer, we've no idea. The only in print things we've got to go on is Foley's promise of transfer funds and Montgonner-y saying that Marcondes and Maolida are the standard for future recruits. Can we attract such quality, Will Bill cough up, Will Monty still be in a job come June 1st...stay tuned to find out.

Marcondes highlight was running straight into Maolida on the byline. He's a way too casual showpony for me I'm afraid. I'm amazed he wasn't hooked earlier. At least Boyle looked faster.

You give a manager time and sometimes it works out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ckke4e6r3d5o

That's exactly as I saw it. Hibs PR will spin it as a turning point though.

Is Mitov always as good as he looks when he plays us?

I'll be angry no matter what today. Angry if we draw or lose. Angry if we win because we can only do it when the pressure's off.

We're past the stage of embarrassment these days, but for our clubs' relative sizes and supports, we should be doing so much better than that.

Not 'Hibs Class', ole Malky, is he not? I reckon Hanlon still has at least a couple of seasons left in him. Less sure about Lewis. He stays fighting fit that's for sure but looked miles off the pace last time I saw him on the pitch.

'Here are 5 dead rubbers Monty, go win them and help your agent find you your next job. Then we can say that after review, we've chosen to go a different way and you can leave with some grace. Saves us sacking you.'

Absolutely. The only difference being that they think that third is an achievement. That said, if we ever get round to reaching the dizzy heights of third again in the future, we'll probably get drunk off it too.

tbf, bang average failure describes the larger part of our entire history.

Agreed, he's either got til the end of the season or he's staying.

Do you reckon we're keeping him?
