Hello from Bognor

[stevebone]

Morning Hibbies, just a quick and slightly belated note to say that all in Bognor - though disappointed to lose Tommy Block - were delighted to see him unveiled by your club yesterday, and even get a place on the bench for the cup game. Amazing stuff.
This is what we did on him finally getting the deal done, including what I thought was a very good little interview with Hibs TV - admittedly this is nothing you won't have seen already at your end.

Best of luck for the rest of the season and we'll all be watching Tommy's progress with great interest.

[Northernhibee]

Cheers - all the best for Bognor in return

[Souter96Mac]

Got a feeling this boy will be a cult hero.

[007 Mickey Weir]

Thanks for this and good luck to Bognor!! 🇳🇬🇳🇬

[WillowbraeHibby]

Likewise, all the best to you guys.

[tamig]

Thanks Steve. It’s been great getting all of your updates over the past few months. Hope you continue to check in here.

[Speedway]

Steve,

Your lad Tommy seems to have a fantastic attitude so all credit to Bognor for developing players like that.

Very best to you and the club for the rest of the season!

Thanks for all your input to date

He comes across as a great lad and, given all the goodwill messages, he seems to be appreciated by everyone down there.

I'm really hoping he realises his ambitions

[DaveF]

I think we should remember he is here for the development squad and needs to impress there before he will be a feature around the 1st team. His place on the bench yesterday was more to do with our lack of numbers than anything else.

I certainly hope he makes it but I doubt we will be seeing him in the 1st team soon.

Christ the voice of doom let the lad enjoy his selection for the squad regardless of how it came about

Don’t think this was the case at all. Plenty of players could have been selected ahead of Tommy. I think this was a clever selection giving the lad a taste of how it feels to be around the first team and what he has to aspire to.

Good luck to the lad, will watch his progress with interest.

Exactly how I saw it. Ideal game to have him on the bench, but he was never going to get on. Basically, a taste of what could be if he applies himself!

Good luck to the lad.

Pretty disappointing that there is an opinion on here that he is nowhere near the first team. Does my head in.

That is questioning Hibs ambition, Lennon's competence, the lad's ability, our whole recruitment process.

Duncan Edwards was playing first team football at 18.

What do some folk on here want?

Rant over

Calm down ffs, it's hardly the voice of doom. His unveiling stated he was for tbe development squad and that is where he will be to start with. I'll be absolutely delighted if he is first team material as soon as possible and I was hoping he would get 10mins yesterday to cap off a great week for him but it wasn't to be.

Thankfully, after seeing his interview, he realises the challenge ahead unlike some on here who seem to expect him to be replacing Bartley or whoever right now.

[SirDavidsNapper]

All the best to Bognor too. Seem a great wee club.

I actually agree but the circumstances with injuries certainly helped that decision. I can only really think of Gullan who has been around the 1st team of late who wasn't selected yesterday. There are probably others that I've forgotten though.

[Greencore]

Do do do do do do do

[Lemonade]

Everyone loves a story like this.
Really hoped he would have got on yesterday just to top off the week for the boy .
His interviews and enthusiasm are excellent.

Really hope he makes it.

Aye, that's all true and very sensible DaveF. But I think none of that serious sensible stuff needed to be said right now. This a great wee story, a dream chance for a young guy and I wish you'd just left it at that for now.

The faux outrage to my post by a few here is why the Internet is just so bonkers. If I've killed Tommys dream due to him reading my comment I'm truly sorry.

Thankfully I suspect he has a bit more about him than the take offence to everything type.

Your response was 100% accurate. Unfortunately we live in a society where people just have to take offense to every comment that's not a positive one. I'll let the lads talking on the pitch determine wether he's a good player or not. Just have to look no further than Jamie Insall to see how these developments signings can turn out.

Yep, a reasonable comment, translated by some that Santa Claus has just shot Bambi!

One learns to just ignore those who seem to look for reasons to be angry.

Similar thing happened to me when I had the temerity to suggest that Jamie MacLaren was not ‘great’, but just ok

Some have to appreciate, that there IS room for opinions that don’t necessarily agree with one’s own!

[Forza Fred]

And for what it’s worth I subscribe to the train of thought that he was on the bench to get a taste of what it’s like to be included in the first team squad.

[staunchhibby]

I thought it was clever of Lennon to include Tommy on the bench.Gives him something to strive for and hopefully he takes the opportunity.

“Bugger Bognor!”

Nice stuff and disregard the bickering. We really cannot help it. Guaranteed a gate if we get a friendly down there!

Never been to Bognor in my life, but have a distant memory of it being used in comic sketches in Monty Python or other comedy shows of that era

[LustForLeith]

Ive not really been following his story apart from trying to establish the most important factor of if he’s got a song yet. And it could one of two ways. But fair play to him. I know you can’t really compare but with Chelsea about to spend £270,000 a week on a loan player, football seems to be keeping a wee bit out of hand and unrealistic. It’s great to see there’s still stories of youngsters being plucked from obscurity.

Not only that but he seems quite genuine and comes across well.
