No, but an obscene song about Sala.

That is awful if true, there was no place for those type of songs in the 1980s and there is certainly no place for those songs in 2023.

'Somerset Saints' how annoying, why don't they b*gger off back to Hampshire, Somerset is ours.

Forgot to post, very smart IMO.

My other sporting team, Somerset CCC aren’t doing much better on the shirt front

That is awful, really like the Gloucestershire one day shirts. Yellow with black detail and black with yellow detail. Made by New Balance.

Interesting he was apparently approached by Celtic last time round and made it clear he did not want any part of the nonsense that goes with that job or with their equally ugly sister. 

When he last took Kilmarnock to Ibrox he was the victim of Sectarian abuse from sections of the Rangers fans. You can imagine that some players/managers don't want the extra heat that goes with Old Firm employment.

He's a very good manager. Hugely underrated 

Did an unbelievable job with Kilmarnock. I think he led them to their best league finish for 40+ years.

I've been watching some clips of Roberts. Firstly its hard to gauge a player on the limited bits I've seen so take this with a pinch of salt however I'll give my take.

He's definitely smaller in stature than your conventional CB (if played there) although has got a deceptively good leap. If played at LB/LWB he seems to win more headers.

Has decent feet and can play in tight spaces, can dribble with the ball. When dribbling when played as a CB he has good acceleration to burst into midfield. When dribbling as a LB/LWB he seems to feint that he's going to recycle possession back to other defenders or the goalkeeper and spin the opposing attacker who is pressing.

Seems to drift inside quite alot but can also burst down the wings, when he gets into space I think he needs to work on crossing earlier as he has a tendency to hit the player attempting to block when pressed.

Pace wise he looks quicker than Dasilva but less than Pring.

When tackling he seems to avoid going to the ground and remains on his feet. Doesn't seem like a push over and plays with a little bit of an edge.

All in all I think he has all the tools to do well with us. You can see he's come from a decent academy and although he has things to work on he already has very good attributes.

 

Derby reporter said his best position is centre back, then left back and finally left wing back. They said he is a far better defender than he is an attacking option.

Interesting, tucked away at the bottom of the article, Luton fans protesting about a proposed move 27 miles away to play at Milton Keynes.

Some nice wing work from Hinshelwood there, I thought Atyeo was a bit slow to anticipate the crosses. 

He'll never amount to much, we'd be better giving him a 'free' in the summer and concentrate on bringing back Diony.

Think the lowest gate ive ever been at sadly was another goalies testimonial from that era, John Shaw vs west brom, around 1800, he saved a pen that night

I was at that match, very sad that testimonial matches disappeared as interest waned, despite players not earning big money back then. Nowadays people quite rightly wouldn't attend, as players earn many times what the average person earns.

Having read their forum a fair bit this season the main aim seems to be finishing ahead of Hearts!

Of course, and if they achieve 3rd place they would be above Hearts. It will be interesting to see how the increased chances of European football (and increased revenue) for teams as low as 4th and 5th affects smaller leagues like Scotland. At present Celtic and Rangers are financially streets ahead of the rest, followed by the 'City' clubs of Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. In theory, the European Conference League etc should allow for Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen to pull further away from the next rung of clubs (Dundee, Dundee Utd, Motherwell, St Mirren etc).

Actually don't mind it, every club who wear predominately blue should be forced to have some red on the kit

I do believe they actually said they were going to buy AG and use it as their training ground.

It makes you wonder why they`re still using a fox shit covered field with some portacabins on it up Cribbs. These things do take time though.................

Fox shit covered field aka 'Premier League ready training complex'

All in all it was a good season for LJ and for Hibs. 
They finished 8th last year and he’s come in and taken them to 5th and likely back in to Europe. 
That would have no doubt been the pre season desire. 
Shame they couldn’t beat Hearts away on the last day to secure 4th but if you’d have offered Hibs the chance to be competing for 4th place on the final day and European qualification they’d have gladly accepted that back in August. 

I agree Harry, most Hibs fans would have accepted 5th this season. However, the pressure will be on next season to improve (3rd or 4th the target). 3rd guarantees group stage European football and 4th means you are in at the later qualifying stages. There will also be an expectation that Hibs make a domestic semi final as a minimum. Johnno won't be expected to challenge the Old Firm, but there will be an expectation that he will challenge Hearts and Aberdeen for the best of the rest.

Feisty derby match this afternoon, at the final whistle Johnson seemed to get involved with the Hearts bench and it resulted in a 20 man scrummage on the centre circle. Not a good look and I'd imagine a charge may be coming his way.

Love so see nige confident in our ability to try challenge for top 6 next year and from what it sounds like the players want to as well. 
 

Even if we got it in and didn’t win it or missed it by a few points that progression is brilliant with the situation he was initially handed.

Pop back on here after we've been beaten 3-0 at home by Rotherham on the opening day!

In all seriousness though, I feel the club is very United now, with a good squad that will get better and a very good manager. I fully expect us to be in and around 6th spot next season.
