The Grass Is Greener. Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Think he did pretty good on loan last season at Burton and he was good before he got that injury at the ****. I think he’s a good player and offers something different from Horgan who blows hot and cold. He’ll probably end up at Aberdeen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Former chairman Tom O'Malley has diedhttps://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/former-hibs-chairman-tom-omalley-passes-away-after-lengthy-illness-2956440Lifelong fan and former Hibs chairman Tom O’Malley passed away on Friday following a lengthy illness.The former head teacher of St David’s RC High School at Dalkeith joined the Hibs board in 1991. He was a staunch supporter of the Hands Off Hibs campaign which eventually thwarted Hearts chairman Wallace Mercer’s attempts to merge the Capital clubs and when Tom Farmer completed his takeover of the Easter Road side, O’Malley was appointed as one of the directors.Months later – and much to O’Malley’s delight – the club won the Skol Cup final, lifting silverware for the first time in almost 20 years.He later replaced Lex Gold as chairman after the club was relegated in 1998, telling fans that “there is now one of their own in charge of the club”.“I saw my first Hibs match back in 1946,” he said at the time. “I have been around this club a long time. I know it’s history, it’s culture. The club is in safe Hibernian hands.”An amiable figure who was awarded the OBE for services to education, he did stir up some controversy in the wake of that relegation by suggesting supporters may see a season in the second tier as “an adventure”, but he was forgiven as the team - under the guidance of manager Alex McLeish – clinched promotion at the first time of asking.Just five days after Hibs were presented with the First Division trophy, though, he announced he was stepping down, claiming that with the club’s top flight status regained and plans in place for the club’s future, the time was right for him to retire into a “life of relative obscurity”.Due to ill health he was unable to attend Hibs’ momentous 2016 Scottish Cup final triumph, but he was able to lift the trophy when the Persevered Tour made a special stop at his home.Current chairman Ronald J Gordon said: “Everyone at the club is saddened by the news. I didn’t ever have the pleasure of meeting Tom O’Malley, but those who knew him tell me he was devoted to the club and a real gentleman. Our thoughts are with his family and his friends.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Murphy looks like he's been dug up and put in the microwave to heat him up slightly before that photo. @Bairnardo, that's how your scrambled eggs look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would much rather had Murphy than Hastie but we probably could not afford his wages. Hibs and Aberdeen shaping up to have best squads outside the Old firm this season. Expect them to finish in 3rd and 4th place this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 right so we refused to play Rangers game for McCrorie and now we've changed our tune for Murphy?He's on a years contract with us after this season. Suspect we're only paying a portion of his *** wage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just baited Aberdeen to sign Mcrorie. Like we did with Ojo and Vela. Ok that one never worked out but this times different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The papers keep referring to him as a 'boyhood Rangers fan', but he doesn't look like one. Looks a bit like a Dundee United fan, tbh. Maybe Raith Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I don't really mind the loan then signing thing it's the idea we were not prepared to sign McCrorie on terms that meant we couldn't play him vs Rangers but now with Murphy we are? Still I guess I was half right about the next player after Boyle signing his extension being a loan.My suspicion would be that Murphy is on significantly higher wages than Mccrorie was so the finances probably wouldn't work for outright signing him. We'll be paying a percentage of his wage rather than all it for the next season then he moves onto a new Hibs wage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Are Hibs lacking out wide? Surely a squad signing at best? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The reason for the loan to buy is 100% that we don’t want him playing against us this season. We told Hibs this was the deal for McCrorie too, they tried to negotiate a straight sale so we sold him to Aberdeen instead. Hibs presumably didn’t want to take the risk this time so just accepted the terms. This’ll be the way Ross Wilson sells every player to a Premiership side. It’s a marginal gain for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers will be paying a bit of his wage that they wouldn't be this season. Finances probably dictated Hibs accepting it for Murphy when they didn't for Mccrorie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely works better for Hibs too aye. They make a saving in exchange for him sitting out 4 games. Everybody wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grass Is Greener. Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Getting a fee for him is good I suppose. He’s very inconsistent but he’s started the season well. He’ll be remembered for the Horgan Derby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyFerrino Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Is it Horgan shouting for the ball off Mallan in that? Either way, that noise when it hits the net combined with the eruption makes this a go to favourite after a few sherberts. All the best, son. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
