Ian Murray took the hammering well it seems

[hibs0666]

"Hibs accused us of parking the bus at Easter Road and all that crap we heard from them. We came out today and had a go at them in the second half but no doubt we’ll be hearing the same bullsh** again."

They did park the bus at Easter Road. WTF is he on?!

[H18S NX]

A wee bit bitter and twisted Ian? GIRFUY.

[Elephant Stone]

We scored six goals and we'll be going on about them 'parking the bus'?

[Heisenberg]

Where did he say this? Any links? Sounds extremely biitter.

Never mind, found it in the daily record. What a graceless hun twat.

Was in the Sunday Mail I think.

[_hucks_]

Need to see a link to where he said this, but I'd still not want to be giving it all the 'giruy' stuff to the man; he's fiercely competitive and still a legend at this club. When he's managing the opposition team, we can't expect him to be too 'hibby' about it!

Last paragraph

Yup, fair enough!!

[S4uzee]

The last sentence doesn't even make sense

[SunshineOnLeith]

At Easter Road they made no effort or attempt to do anything other than defend their own penalty area. Fair enough, they got a result.

Suspect if we hadn't scored early yesterday then it would have been the same story, although I wasn't at the game so I may be wrong and they attacked from the first whistle. Doubt it though.

That's the main reason Hearts are so far ahead, they've been getting the early goal against teams in this league which forces them to come out and attempt to participate in a football match, which then leaves gaps to exploit.

Naaah you totally didn't park the bus Ian..

Hibernian Dumbarton
25 shots 5
14 on target 1
14 corners 3

I was astounded by Dumbartons gung-ho style of attacking football

[TheFamous1875]

Bitter, but he is a competitive man and that's his prerogative. Thought he was great for us in both spells, but had injury troubles late on (hence why he retired so young). If he hadn't went to Rangers in the manner in which he did then he'd be more of a hero in the eyes of Hibbies than he is.

A legend?

Obviously our opinion of what constitutes a Hibs legend differs massively.

[blackpoolhibs]

Back to Ihun Murray from now on. Still astounds me that the club gave this welt a testimonial.

Injury affected or not, he was pretty rubbish in his second spell.

Don't understand how anyone can regard him as a legend or 'hero'. The only times he ever signed a contract with Hibs was when he had no other options, he never showed any real loyalty. Once his legs had gone he took to throwing himself around like a Jim Goodwin-esque thug, without Goodwin's intelligence, so people would regard him as "determined" and "committed".

The complete flop that was his testimonial match was a fitting end to his career.

Sauzee, Stanton, Smith... That's the legend criteria. We've not had a legend since Sauzee, and before him the closest may be...Collins?

I thought he was good under both Mixu and Yogi, and I seem to remember him being great in midfield when we beat Rangers 3-0 at Ibrox under Calderwood. He did tail off though, and he wasn't nearly as effective as he was in his first spell, but he still offered up some good performances under Mixu and Yogi iirc.

To me the term legend is overused and too much of a catch all.

Hibs legends are the likes of the Famous Five, Pat Stanton, Joe Baker.....there are others of course

IMO you then have a level below that with the likes of Sauzee, Rob Jones and Murdo McLeod as cup winning captains, Keith Wright for his Skol Cup goals, Derek Riordan for all his goals, again there are others.

Ian Murray doesn't even get close to either of those groups.

Whilst he is nowhere near legend status imo or justified a testimonial he is far from a welt & I doubt you'd say that to his face.

If he was a so called" legend" at Easter Rd,where was all his fans at his testimonial? i was there btw,the GIRFUY was more of two fingered up at him for his childish remarks

Murray was nowhere near legend status and tbh ive never understood the Murray love in. He was an average to good injury prone player who the club stood by while he was injured. He in return couldn't wait to head west and only returned to Hibs when his signing options were severely limited.

As others have pointed out the "crowd" for his testimonial is evidence enough of how most Hibbies view him.

I agree with what you're saying here largely, and perhaps it is a bit much to assign that tag to Ian Murray, but the man played over 10 years with Hibs, making many an important contribution in the process. There are very few in the modern age that will give the years service that Ian did, and whilst I may be accused of hyperbole, I wouldn't be quite so quick to dismiss his status.
