Hopefully McGlynn’s best years are behind him. KT at Kelty impresses me as he speaks much more honestly that normal Scottish football faces. His dirt on John Collins was gobsmacking. What was that about Collins? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Board were reluctant to sack Grant ffs. They've still yet to accept - publicly at least - that it wasn't a good appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any truth in this rumour? The wee team big hitters come up with some cracking content but their jobbers have absolutely no patter at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossd98 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Alright everyone, apologies the timing of posting this is brutal but I had Joe Cardle on my podcast this week if anyone fancies giving it a listen. Clearly loves the Pars and enjoyed his time at the club. Hope everyone enjoys ️ Youtube: Spotify: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-chat-with-joe-cardle/id1570371231?i=1000560057374 Cheers Ross 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomson said he’d be literally shaking with fear in the morning when he saw then manager Collins (Thomson was a Hibs player along with Brown et al) drive in. Collins would make him and other young players file into his office in just their pants. Collins would then essentially body shame them and tear strips off them and show off his physique (these are scrawny wee kids and he’s old enough to be their dad). Sounded pretty traumatic for them. Footballers and managers don’t tend to say anything other than bland stuff about each other and I thought it was quite brave of him to open up about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Brown ended up going to the chairman and on Sportsound to complain/basically say the players had had enough of the manager but didn’t go into specific details in front of the press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 That's brutal reading. Sounds very, very sinister and certainly at least one kind of abuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if he'd have gotten away with that sort of shit now, for as long as he did at Hibs back then. Absolutely mental stuff. He eventually prompted a player revolt, which produced this iconic interview. Edited May 9, 2022 by Michael W 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Bloody hell. How has nothing ever been done about this? Was there ever an investigation? How is he still getting jobs in football and the media with these allegations being made? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeyboy edwards Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Todorov and Wighton will cause a lot of teams problems. Even if teams handle them well, you still have O’Hara, Thomas, Dorrans, Kennedy to deal with. We might not win the title but it’s clear scraping 4th will not be acceptable this season.OOOFT, that aged well [emoji106] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I'm sure there's an open goal episode with Si Ferry interviewing Michael Stewart when he was at Hibs and they were all away on pre season/holiday when Collins was there and the stuff about the six pack etc was mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
