TOP defenders have nothing of the sort. We've build a team of players who from front to back are ball players. The game moves on. Hanlon biggest quality is reading the game so he gets in ahead of a striker rather than having to fire through the back of him. He's more than capable of getting stuck in also but a player on the deck is a player out of the game.

Paulo Maldini once said "if I have to make a tackle I have failed to defend correctly." or words to that effect.

Indeed....one of the best of all time.

You don't need it though. Both players are more than able to mix it if required but the idea if you are not going through players every week you are somehow not hard enough is dated approach still pushed by the butchers and malpas's of the world. No thanks. Are we really a better team if some of our defenders miss a few games a season due to suspension? Ramos would be a damn sight better if he didn't get booked in almost every game.

I never suggested they get booked more often. Or boot the opposition up and down the place. I just think that the vast majority of top defenders have the cynical side previously mentioned. Wasn't particularly having a go at any Hibs player when I said it. But there is obviously a number of differences between our defenders and top defenders. Maybe this is one of them.

I was praising Lewis and making a valid point about Liam Craig. I was not criticising any of his performances but making the point that he is no good to us if he gets suspended.

My apologies for the fact that there are so many touchy people on this board.

Is this thread about Liam Craig's arguing with refs or Lewis Stevensons discipline?

Was just about to post about Maldini, what, one red in 1000 games and that was in a friendly? Well done for this Lewis.

Hahahaha!!

Nelson was one of the worst footballers I have ever had the misfortune to watch in a hibs strip.

Thank God those days are gone!!

Nelson was far away from being one of our worst ever players.

Just realised he has only ever recieved 1 red card in his career- a second yellow card in the 90th minute away to St Mirren in 2012. Very impressive record for a defender, shows how good of a tackler he actually is

Pedant alert. Did he not get a red card against ABerdeen from our friend The cheat thompson? It was later rescinded though

Seemingly not the only club showing a interest in Lewis.

Lewis no more? Harris no more? This has the makings of a Proclaimers song.

Expect more of this nonsense in the next few days. Couldn't believe JC was again on front page of the daily ranger this week.
