Hoose Rice Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 10 minutes ago, Tommy Tappin said: You haven't even seen all the signings yet. But you're laser focused on where to find the stick to beat us with and there's many of a likemind. One day in the future if we lift a cup under LJ's management or Ron's ownership, don't forget to point out 'aye but remember that context free time when we got pumped out to a diddy part time team'. Your squad insights are second to none. No, I want to revisit this after the first round of fixtures. I want balanced, factual evaluation with no extreme fanboy blind faith and no miserable knut attacks. Honest question @Hoose Rice genuine motive for asking. Not looking to have a dig, not looking to catch you out. Have you ever built or run a business of any kind, at any point in your career? If yes, how did it go? I’m done mate. This is no good for anything. Heres to a decent rest of the season and I sincerely hope your blinkered ways are 100% correct. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only about 20, and should improve however the proof will be in the pudding. I think we could see a different player this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Club owners deserved scrutinised more than probably any other business. These are generally guys that want to run a club as a business that profits from consumers but want consumers to act like loyal lemmings. Folk like Gordon’s business acumen is welcome to the league, a bit like cormack, but they need absolutely telt when they go off on their own path. Clubs need to be run commercially, yes, but the noise and shite from fans helps keep a balance. Aye, sometimes a lot of it is nonsense but these guys being held accountable is no bad thing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Foot Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hibs fans used to be fun on this forum. Not me; I was never fun. But now no one is fun. It’s as if some of you have decided to start treating this like a football forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to a more than decent season and I sincerely hope your defeatist ways are 100% incorrect. Starting on Saturday.

What's everyone's first choice XI for Saturday? No idea what the team will be mate. Its a bit of a lottery at the moment and that at this stage of the season/pre season is far from ideal. We've only had since April when Maloney was punted and bottom 6 confirmed after all. We have the opposite of a settled team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
