Great fun when we have the ball, less so when we have to defend!

Every game a 6-4.

I`ll take that, seen a few of them over the years. I remember one season under Billy Lamont we lost 4-6 to Forfar at Brockville then a fortnight later won 6-4 against Hamilton. The Hamilton game might have been Baptie`s debut for us if I remember correctly. He certainly scored one of the goals. Entertaining stuff.

Jim Dempsey hat trick in one of them, wasn't there? Unbelievable Jeff.

One of the games was played in a monsoon and the pitch started to flood

This individual has had multiple police investigations for racist songs and comments.

How does that align with your club policy and your association with the “Show Racism the Red Card” campaign?

And yet went on to play for Celtic and Scotland after those articles. Any uproar then?

Presume you are also on the Ross County forum vilifying them about Malky Mackay?

Or on the Celtic thread? Or the Scotland thread?

I hope you’re right however Garry O’Connor scored 16 goals for Hibs in the top flight only a year before joining Morton and doing nothing for the rest of his career. Stokes disappeared in to obscurity after winning the Scottish Cup aged 29 and Riordan plummeted at 27 with his best return being a few goals for East Fife. All these players were hugely talented but for whatever reason their careers ended prematurely. 

Think it’s the above that makes me very weary about celebrating this signing too much. The only person who can make it work is Griffiths because if he gets fit he will demolish the Premiership let alone this league. Big IF at the moment for me but certainly will make for interesting viewing. 

……….and the common denominator (including Griffiths) is………Hibs. Only Crunchie and Fletcher escaped unscathed from the Tutankhamen like curse that icomes around when a “quality front man signs for Hibs”.

Time the FM made a statement.
