1320Lichtie Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The size of club argument is pointless and meaningless. You're still a buffoon. It's not because that's why people are taking offence at pundits saying Hibs are a Premiership team. It's nothing to do with the club it's to do with the players they have there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 What nonsense. What qualifies them as the "6th biggest club" btw? On you go then. Top 10 clubs by size in Scotland in order?? Celtic Rangers Hearts Aberdeen Hibs Dundee United Dundee Would definitely be my top 7, unsure after that, I'd like to see your list to see if United would be lower down than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played them last season in the midst of a three month winless run and it took a penalty for them to win. Are you bragging about getting beat here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been some people getting on his back at ER but I think he's decent. He should get to play as a proper 10 now Commons is away and and McGinn is fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably kill someone to have him back at ICT but that won't be happening any time soon especially the direction we're going in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 If you are only going by attendances fair enough but in every other respect the Dons are a far bigger club than hearts. Totally understand that, obviously room for changing the order, some will think Rangers are bigger than Celtic, some Hibs bigger than Hearts too probably. Think they're definitely the 6/7 biggest clubs though I can't think of anyone from outwith the clubs mentioned that should be there. I was just trying to reply to Standfree being a smart arse by asking why I had United down as the 6th biggest club or what qualified them for that, I'm sure the majority would agree and if they didn't they'd surely not be that much further down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Again, so what? Squabbling over crowds whilst our product gets worse and our national team is in free fall. It's nothing to do with my original point and I've went way off tangent in replying to other points raised. I've actually agreed with nearly everything posted by yourself, The Scarf, Deej, Dunning etc. I just think you lads are misunderstanding what a lot of pundits are saying. Guys like Strachan saying that deserve to be ridiculed and criticised but last night McCall and Ferguson both said they were a Premiership team because of the squad and players specifically. They never said anything about the size of Hibs as a club, this happens a lot yet a lot of people seem to take it the wrong way and it's frustrating. Happened with Hearts and it happened with Sevco too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think this can be boiled down to a few things: - the term 'big club' is a totally subjective thing that has been manufactured into some sort of title in the modern game by tv companies who boil the size of a club down to viewing figures they attract on tv/attendances etc, they have no relevance whatsoever in a sporting context. - no club 'should' be somewhere based on attendances, history or any of that nonsense, again only sky sports and its hangers on (or media figures in Glasgow who are desperate for Celtic and Rangers to be relevant on a global stage) would have you believe that - I agree with Lichtie that Hibs have a squad that is certainly capable of competing in the Premiership, I would stop short of saying comfortably top 6 though, I think there is a fair few average at best players in and among some decent premiership quality ones. - Anyone who's enjoyment of football is reduced because the stand behind the goal isn't packed with people probably needs to question why it is they watch football, if it's for noise and colour then you're probably a simpleton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about the current manager, squad and players. Unsurprising that the manager is the first thing you list. Poor attempt to throw some other factors in considering 'squad' and 'players' are the same thing. It's because good old Lenny is in charge isn't it.

RandomGuy. Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 RandomGuy would have been salivating at the notification he'd been quoted here. Alas, it's not the bite he was looking for. Not really, it's more the fact the exact same shite about Hibs having a "top six squad" was spouted last season, yet they could only stumble past the most out of form team in the country. As I say, McGinn and an in-form Cummings aside, they have an average side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
