Have to disagree.......But I suppose it depends on what your ratin them on..

Technique, yes, attitude no.
Give me Fyvie any day of the week above Allan - Allan is sadly a young man who's a 'has been' - his only out will be if Warburton has the bottle to go for him again - Halliday and Holt have been found out for the poor players they are and unless The Rangers bail Scott out, he's destined for the scrap heap !
Fraser. Steamed forward to bring us to attack in the 91st minute at hampden.
Fyvie is always at least a 7 for graft alone
Allan for show
Fyvie for Doh
Allan or Fyvie.
Both players' careers have been similar in many respects, but then so different in what they've achieved.
Allan - Played a few games for United and thought he was better than them. Manufactured a move down south and achieved the square root a nothing. Returned to Scotland and settled into a Hibs team that had been relegated to the second league of that country. Played really well, but became a disruptive figure when The Huns declared an interest. Was sold to Celtic, who farmed him off to Rotherham (bottom of the Championship). Rotherham got rid of him as his attitude was poor and disruptive. Thinks he is a better player than he is.
Fyvie - Played a few games for Aberdeen and looked to better himself down south (don't know if that was an amicable separation). Was transferred to a team down south. Whilst not a total success, at least he won a English FA Cup Winners medal - the highlight of many players career. Returned to Scotland and settled into a Hibs team that had been relegated to the second league of that country. Played really well and became a solid dependable player. Became a club legend by being not only a Scottish Cup winner, but someone who played a key role during the game right up to the game defining moment. Gives all in each game.
Allan or Fyvie - there really is no point in discussing this! Scott who!!
Would be gutted if we couldn't keep hold of Fyvie after this season. He's an absolutely massive player for us.
Scott Allan would struggle to make our bench??! This is like something off of kickback.
Some hugely outlandish statements which I can only put down to ill-feeling over the way he left.
It's all completely hypothetical of course, but ridiculous nonetheless.
Scott Allan, on his form he was on with us would be first pick in the team if he signed again, like he was last time. Without Commons there we have struggled many times to open teams up, Allan has got that in his locker.
The mere fact that Scott Allan is thought of in such negative terms by a sizeable chunk of our support is sufficient to ensure that he never plays for us again.
The atmosphere at Dumbarton at ‘that game’ when he divided opinion and was the target for some of our guys was the most poisonous I’ve ever experienced in a Hibs crowd.
Utterly depressing.
Signing Andy Halliday would perhaps be more acceptable to the majority.
Is he actually linked with a move back or is this just 8 pages of nonsense and pointless bickering?
He also chased and harried and won us the corner that led to the equaliser!
I would hope that a new contract will be on the table for FF. He is an integral part of the team and should be one of the first names on the team sheet every week for me!
As for Allan.... he's had his time for me!

Allan is arguably the best midfielder I have seen in 11+ years of watching Hibs, possibly second only to Scott Brown.
He's a ****, but that doesn't change my opinion of his ability.
Both of them gave us more than a single season before they left Hibs. Both contributed more than SA. Both achieved real success after leaving Hibs. Both were 'our own', so easier to forgive.
Sorry but IMO Scott Allan has blown his career. Huge potential, too little application.
I include ability, desire, attitude and consistency when I judge how good a professional footballer is, Scott Allan doesn't even come in my top ten of Hibs players.
He's a *** the same way as Halliday, Novo, Ferguson etc. **** them all.
He should never be allowed to put on the Hibs strip again. How he could he have thought he'd get a move to Rangers is beyond belief and a slap in the face to Stubbs/Hibs for getting his career back on track at the time.
Kevin Thomson in particular was hated more when he moved than Allan and that's a fact. Murray got abuse big time too. If Allan came back knuckled down and showed the form he had previously it would be forgotten. Yes we only had a year but you don't know what guarantees where given to him failing promotion, we got lucky having him in the first place coming into what was a shambles top to bottom.
I agree. Would the huns accept him back though after he snubbed them for celtic? They aren't the most forgiving bunch and despite them all bigging up how much of a rangers fan he was he chose celtic of all clubs. I could see a large element of the rangers support not being too happy to see him crawling back to them regardless of how good a player he is.
