PLENTY GUID OANEST LADDIES AT EASHTER ROAD, GIES MA JOAB BACK AND AHL GIT YE SHREE POYNTS EACH WEEK

Brilliant, you received a warning on the 4th of April last year for referring to someone as a retard. Glad it's not been eating away at you like. Fucking idiot.

Honestly don’t understand the amount of negativity after today. It wasn’t great but light years ahead of our last home game against Dunfermline. There’s definitely encouraging signs there and we are absolutely a much better now than we were before January. Heard one guy on the way out saying ‘that’s not any better than the first game of the season’. Absolutely mental statement.

Just realised that when I was steaming I wished Goncalves a happy new year, and he replied Love that man

Paton and DKD need to start next week IMO.

Club legend and manager extraordinaire, I give you Gary Caldwell. Perfect fit for Hibs.

Not necessarily. The BBC, for example, in its never-ending quest of pretending to be neutral, has (until recently) ensured that climate change denial got an equal amount of airtime to the facts. They do it all the time. "Here's Dr John McWeather, with two PhDs in climatology, here to explain why climate change is happening. And to debate him, we have Gammon McGammon, a 'man with a van' who specialises in fly-tipping, who says climate change isn't happening because it's cold outside today"

Suddenly this takes on a sinister new significance...

Yet they’ve failed to win in five and in his previous spells at Hibs he had sides with players that were more than good enough not to lose 16 times over two Championship seasons, more than good enough to get through the playoffs and more than good enough to finish above Falkirk. They failed to do those things because Stubbs is a bad manager. He’ll obviously always be popular among Hibs fans for the cup win but his overall managerial record, including his league record at Hibs, is genuinely terrible. Having a good record in cup competitions doesn’t make him an appropriate choice to take over a side with an unhappy squad who are on a terrible run which needs to be turned around, and doesn’t compensate for the reality of that being the last kind of setting Stubbs is likely to perform well in.

How good is Doohan though? A fucking brilliant keeper. I'm 34 and this is the first time I can ever remember being totally confident when the other team is pumping big high balls at us, even late corners etc. The lad is class.

As scummy a post as you'll ever see on here.

I know he's going through a tough time but I'd imagine it's a bit early for Griffith's to be thinking about management

That's not what makes Stubbs a good choice, but it contextualises this "terrible league manager" label that Stubbs has been given by some Hibs fans and a lot of neutrals. It simply isn't true, and if it is then Lennon has to be given a similar label, because he 'outperformed' Stubbs in a much weaker Championship by a single point. Back to Stubbs, he had two bad spells as manager, one at the very start when he was trying to assemble a team from the car crash that Butcher had left behind, and then in the spring of 2016 when he couldn't operate a team to fight on three fronts. Finishing third behind Falkirk is a price worth paying for wining the Scottish and reaching the League Cup Final. He is the only manager in our history to take us to both cup finals in a season, and though Motherwell and Aberdeen have done in the last couple of years, it's pretty rare that a non-OF side does that. Maybe I'm just a bit of a romantic when it comes to football, but clubs like Hibs are, with the best will in the world, not going to ruthlessly conquer and dominate Scottish football. People get so worked up about whether we finish 5th or 8th when in truth it really doesn't matter. What do matter (to me at least) are the cups, they are the only realistic chance of success that Hibs have, and we have only won six in our history. Stubbs is good in cups, let's give it a go. Edit: TLDR, some standard Hibs warrior poetry.

You see, that patter only works when you’re not bottom of the league.

A HUGE positive from a difficult week at school. As part of the funeral of the young laddie who died last weekend, the funeral procession came through the school car park to allow those who couldn’t or didn’t go to pay final respects. EVERY remaining high school student on the day went out, despite it being -20F ( about 80 of a school roll of 180ish). They all stood in total, respectful silence not just as the hearse was there but also as all the rest of the cars passed. It was one of the most moving things I have ever seen and been a part of. Why share? Because not all ‘Murcan kids are vapid little shits or gang punks. Thank you if you read, apologies if to;dr

Welcome to your new look league tables, which look very much like the old ones except they have a new column that is blank for absolutely everyone except pleslie99. Hope you like 'em. The Premiershit trophy looks like it's heading back over The Pond to Michigan. 14 golds is a certainly an achievement not to be sneezed at. And who sneezes at achievements anyway? Christophe is back to semi-winning ways with a 2nd place ... at the other end, just like his team, German Jag finds himself routed to the bottom. Mark Connolloy's late flurry proved futile, and Helpma is a struggler and in the play-offs. BWV - the forum's 2nd favourite moderator, achieves his first ever silver medal. They truly will be singing on the streets of Villa / Clyde this evening. AFJ returns to the Premiershit fold and Adamski turns in another "Killer" performance (proud of that one ... no need to clap) to enter the play-offs and possible back-to-back promotions. At the shame end, it's off to the gulags for CaspianChris, Slippers slips down, and Leedsy is in the play-offs. And in the basement league, DublinMagyar gets 1st place and to celebrate, has hidden his club badge. Not surprising given the team's recent capitulation to Rovers in the cup. BigBo10 is feeling proper bo, and James squeaks the play-off place from mathematics (hope you're feeling a bit aggrieved, so I can say "you do the math." Or something. Not really though that one through to be honest). Not sure what happened to Welshbairn and LincolnHearts as they were definitely posting here during the week. A charge of bringing the game into disrepute seems likely. Anyway, over to my faithful 2IC - @SlipperyP for your play-off question.

I loved the celebration at the final whistle when he hugged Doohan. You can tell he is going to give it his all till the end of the season. Class act.

If you don't appoint Stubbs, I never want to hear another word about how we should have kept him on/treated him badly, etc. Please, please appoint Alan Stubbs.

Disappointed to see this post hidden away on its own. This is by far the most important aspect to consider here and should be at the forefront of the Hibs fans minds. This is an appointment for all of Scottish Football. Dont let us down.

Moffat was fantastic and I think his football brain is rubbing off on Shankland you see him doing the wee flicks and looking to bring in players about him, I hope when moff hangs up his boots there will be a place for him on the coaching staff.

Peak Ayr United. I fucking love this team! From arguably our worst result ever to top of the league in 6 days. Wow. Euphoric!

Aye Jim Duffy has totally changed Dumbarton’s fortunes since taking over. It’s the same situation. He’s taken over a squad that was horrendously balanced. Brought in Hendry and I genuinely believe wouldn’t have lost the amount of games if we still had him. The same could be said for Vaughan. Hopefully not that bad. Wasnt there today anyway. I’d still have McGynn over Barry fucking Smith. Regardless of the result today. Guy has fucking zero charisma and came across as a right grumpy b*****d to the fans and made no effort to connect with us either. Smith should have been sacked immediately after the Alloa game (playoff or even the title decider) so we could have had John in straight alway. Then if he was doing as badly as he has then fair enough. 3 months is still a long time. 4 if you include games in May.

Good job we are going to win the Scottish Cup or this season would have been terrible

David slays Goliath... In an astounding match in Midlothian this afternoon: Coldstream took the lead, then Penicuik led 2-1 at HT, then it was 2-2, then 3-2 to Penicuik, then Coldstream equalised with the last play of the game, then Penicuik led 4-3 right after HT in ET, then Coldstream equalised with 5mins left in ET and won 5-4 on penalties. QFs on Saturday 2nd March now: Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic v East Stirlingshire Coldstream v East Kilbride Sauchie v Hill of Beath Hawthorn University of Stirling v LTHV/Camelon

The Train now departing Stranraer is the Fife Express!!! This is a non-stop service to Dubln, Mind The Gap, I repeat Mind The Gap (it's only 1 point)!!! CHOO-FUCKIN'-CHOO MUTHAFUCKAS!!!

Please don't confuse me with this goon. Many thanks.

Oh god. Here we go. Talk to friends - YES Talk to charity services - YES Get support you are entitled to - YES Use it to avoid accountability - NO

I think the Kyle Hutton thing has two sides; on the one hand he is steadily drifting down the football ladder, and most weeks we see the hard evidence of that, but against that I'm guessing that he's a very honest professional who turns up for training and does what's asked of him. When you are a Manager of a small part-time squad these qualities are considerable. He's probably also a decent guy personality in the dressing room, and we need to remember that he's been playing through an injury.

Future Scotland no1 IMO

If you could say for definite that there were plans in place for some sort of improvements however gradual, most people would be on your side and support you as it's obvious you haven't got money to make sweeping changes right away. An issue I have heard other clubs have with you is that you pay a nominal sum to the council for the hire of the park for two hours then the rest of the money you raise goes towards players, hence your progress up the leagues. Other clubs have the running of their facilities to pay which leaves them a lot less in the pot for players, when you couple this with the match experience at Rossvale that is where some of the resentment is coming from.

You forgot Moffat. The man who pulls most of the strings in the team that is top of the league* was shite and past it as well. * Top of the league at time of going to press

On behalf of everyone at Rutherglen Glencairn, we would like to send our best wishes to defender Kris Gebbie after the knee injury he suffered this afternoon. Kris is still in hospital at the moment, and we will give more information when we feel it is appropriate. We would also like to thank the staff and officials of Auchinleck Talbot who were most helpful in caring for Kris while the game continued.

Star Bar, Moffat.

Go back to September, October and we couldn't get out our own half against anyone in this league. It's a minor miracle we're not around 10 or 11 points adrift. We didn't win today but there's a massive improvement in the team.

I was going to say that I hope we give Eddie May the job permanently in preparation for next season's renewal of rivalry with Falkirk in the Championship, but I completely forgot that they are on their way to the 3rd (third) tier of Scottish football, more popularly known as the seaside leagues.

In appreciation of Weir's derby magnificence, Angus Council have agreed to have his likeness carved into Arbroath Abbey so that all can look and fear.

It's only the thickos that would begrudge a young man his big opportunity and the riches that might come from it.

I wull guarantee that thae honest laddies will gie 100 per shent every week - exshept when wur playin' the Sheltic.

There are 8000 nerve endings in the clitoris but it’s still not as sensitive as your average *** after a defeat.

I can’t listen to Si Ferry anymore. Absolute brain damage. Gets to a vaguely serious point then “SO THEN YOU SIGNED FOR SUNDERLAND THAT MUST HAVE BEEN SOME PATTER EH HAHAHAHAH”

I probably said that after the 5-0 game but we need to use this as a catalyst for the rest of the season. Forget the fucking Talbot, Falkirk and ICT games. We showed tonight before Shankland came on that we could go toe to toe with a title challenger. Going forward we clearly need the big man but it’s incredibly harsh to the best GK and defence in the league to label us a one man team. Also you won’t see a much better display from a midfielder than the masterclass Docherty put on. I thought the decision to allow Crawford to play in the middle and play Murdoch our wide worked a treat. Crawford was superb and Murdoch got another assist. If Geggan isn’t back I’d play Murdoch there for now. Add another forward/winger to challenge McDaid and try and get a run of winning games. County have a tough game tomorrow so there’s no guarantee they’ll be back top of the league.

Fixtures worked out perfectly. I was looking forward most to Somerset Park and Cappielow. Now I get the chance to finish the 42 by doing both in the same weekend.
