I wouldn't wish a heart attack on him, but he was a wee ****ing prick.

Falls into the same category as Fernando Riksen

And we wish them nothing but well with their respective conditions. Hopefully Novo will make a full recovery and somehow Riksen can find a turn around in an awful illness which seems to offer none.
Great players in their day, just a shame it was with Rangers FC but all they were doing was earning a living.

I disagree, I think ricksen conducted himself a lot better off the pitch than what novo did. Still wouldn't wish it on anyone and hope he makes a recovery

Was he not done for repeatedly blasting hardcore porn on his laptop during a flight? His condition is awful but I always thought of him as an unsavoury individual.

Couldnt care less.

***Mr White*** · 08-01-2018 07:24 AM

I saw him play for Glentoran last year and I was quite surprised at how much weight he'd put on. Still no age at all to be suffering a heart attack and I hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

**lyonhibs** · 08-01-2018 07:31 AM

Nippy wee nyaff on the pitch but didn't mind him. Sometimes we don't half get precious about opposition players who return the abuse they get with the occasional "GIRFUY" of their own.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

**Pretty Boy** · 08-01-2018 07:35 AM

Don't wish a heart attack on him but he chose to embrace and play up to the bigotry that goes hand in hand with Rangers when plenty others have just gone and played football.

I probably should take my own usual advice about if you can't say anything nice and all that but truth is I really don't care all that much.

100% concur with all your sentiments mate.

Novo and Riksen were representing that old club in a era when, undoubtedly talented players, brought a lot of success but also fully bought into the crass and bigoted “minority” elements in the support - also assisted by lenient (bias) refereeing decisions

Although none of us on here would wish ill health or worse on the rangers players of this era, I can fully understand someone “not caring” - it’s far more realistic than the rose tinted glasses approach

**~~Iggy Pope~~** · 08-01-2018 12:51 PM

These events don't half encourage mealy mouthed rot. I'm with PB and Phil on this one. Indifference. In fact I've clean forgotten about his plight even as as I wr....

As can I - what I fail to understand is why someone who wouldn't care would go to the effort of passing comment. Just scroll on past, surely.

He’s a footballer making a living and pandering to the fans. He’s no saint (that’s an understatement) but I would of course wish him well. To post in a thread like this effectively saying “I don’t care” is the epitome of classlessness.

Even now we have some characters in the squad who you could consider worse than Novo on an ethical level.

I would imagine it’s scottish cup hero Anthony Stokes.

Mind you, I agree with the first paragraph of his post. Hope he makes a full and quick recovery, as I would with 99% of people I hear of suffering such ordeals.

Aye nae bother. He’s Hibs so he’s a saint, you’re right.

Well I've not heard of Saint Nacho, so you're probably right too. Away with your nonsense. Ethics indeed.

Point is people are so blinded by football that they’ll wish ill on someone for his allegiances alone(and being a bit of a bawbag granted), when we have had/have characters just as bad playing for us. It’s just a game.

Genuinely surprised at the content of the thread. Hope he makes a full recovery and has no further problems.

So am I.
Don't particularly like Novo myself however, there's nae need for the nastiness, IMO. Just stay stoosh.

Agreed. Novo having a heart attack does nothing positive for my life. It could well have ended his. He has had next to no impact on my life. Why would anyone not wish him well is beyond me.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 08-01-2018 08:49 PM

Novo is either very stupid or very clever, a roman catholic buying into everything hun, immersing himself into all things hun, even buying a bar and making it a fans place to drink before games.

He's apparently not very well too.
