Agree, age and nationality mean nothing. It's all about ability and desire. Look how much we missed Moriah-Welsh last night. Young laddie that's only played for Newport County. He's put most of our team to shame with his desire and work rate and skill.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Hearts 2 best players are Scottish, great. So it's quality of player then you agree? Nothing to do with a Scottish spine. This is on the same level as Neil Lennon being a born winner.
Here's St Mirren "Scottish Spine" btw;
Hemming
Gogic
Kwon
Boyd-Munce
Mandron
Do you see the pattern?

I think if we fail to make top 6 NM will be gone.
Crowds will evaporate and there will be a toxic atmosphere where the fans will turn on him.
Even if we do make top 6, our inconsistency will show him up.
Currently we are 6 points behind Killie with an inferior goal difference and 7 behind saint mirren, again with worse goal difference, so there would have to be a respective swing of 8 and 9 points to overtake them.
Do we really think that we will win 3 more games than these two teams out of 9 remaining when we have only won 4 out of last 15 ( 1 to lower league opposition)?
We can point out referees incompetence till cows come home, but reality is we have not been playing great , have not had a come from behind win and seemingly need to score 3 goals to win a game.
I'm as frustrated as anyone as I thought he would be a good breath of fresh air.
It seems like another manager search will be happening very soon tho

but our last few games we were cheated out of a good few points. which wasnt Monty's fault.
I like the way we have been playing the last few games and feel gutted about yesterdays result but the season is far from over. dundee wont beat the rangers and we will see off Livi. then we have about 8 games left to go on the offensive and scalp st mirren, killie and jams.

Our current squad of misfits is just a random collection of journeymen and youngsters , with painfully limited experience in defence - little wonder there is next to no team chemistry nor a bond with the fans.
St Mirren have better players than us on the whole, IMO.

You've hit the nail on the head there, St Mirren are better than us this season which is exactly my point. The "best Hibs sides" are too few and far between, we've had plenty Scots fail us.

I’m not sure if Hibs will empty Monty or not. However if they are thinking about it and it’s a if, maybe they should do it now so a new manager has time to assess the players he has and can decide what he needs to bring in for next season.
If Monty gets 5-10 games at the start of next season and is then punted the new manager will have Monty’s players and yet again we’re in the same position we have been this season by waiting to bring players in, in the Jan window.

Think it’s now between Hibs, Dundee and Motherwell for final top 6 space.
Have a feeling that Motherwell away last game before the split will be a massive game / career defining for Monty.

Players being played out of position in some woeful set ups, last night's first 45 minutes being as bad as I've seen and, to make matters worse, I'm seeing things that need remedying during a game before he does! He's really that bad.
No hysteria from me. I just think he's totally out of his depth and want better for my Club.

Eclipsed in the history books by 91, 07 and 16 too. You know, Hibs teams with a bit of character - Scottish spines supplemented by a sprinkling of exotic flair. We’re too far the other way currently, team full of show ponies by and large. Our current squad (could even be extended to manager / club as a whole) are devoid of character IMO, and it shows.

All comes back to the club hierarchy trying to be too clever, our strategy over the last few years has been ****ing shambolic.
Will be nice to watch the Jambos have their second pop at the group stage whilst we fanny about with project players in the chase for sell on fees.

I thought we were very unlucky last night not to get 3 points , I'm still trying to figure out where the officials got 7 minutes from , why we didn't get the throw - in , how the Ross county player got to take it from where he did and why we played nearly 8 minutes.
Decisions recently have really cost us some vital points which would have made a massive difference, hard luck story?, maybe though a lot of the games lately it's felt like we been really cheated imo .
I think the reaction towards the manager is abit OTT with 3 or 4 threads started about him just like this one with the thread title " season over" . A win on Saturday with Dundee hopefully losing to sevco will see us back in the top 6 plus the fact Killie and St Mirren play one another too , so somebody's going to drop points there or maybe both will .
Season over ? , nah still have a lot to play for yet . Hopefully we will start getting a rub of the green too . I haven't given up on Monty or finishing top 6 yet

The next choice is critical and I'm sure the Black Knights will be a big part of that decision making

I think he will be here next season, he's proved recently he can get a tune out of better players. Referees and VAR haven't helped but yes we should be seeing games out.
He won't get sacked just because a few .netters get outraged at losing a late equaliser.

A half fit Scott Allan was a far better option than Ewen Henderson or the other donuts Maloney was picking.

I'm not hugely on the "Scots are better" bandwagon but I do think it helps having a couple core lads who 'get' the league a bit to help along the revolving door of players that come over the years. That doesn't mean you need to sign any player who has rogue one off good season. But I refuse to believe there hasn't been better players move between clubs in this division the last 2/3 seasons than what we've probably overpaid for from somewhere else.
The secret is finding the right balance to it all.

Time running out for Monty. Failure to make the top six will see him sacked and rightly so. Until then he remains in post.

We seem to think we’re above that, oh here’s a manager that’s done well in Australia, here’s a winger that looked alright for a Portuguese B team.
Imo, Scottish football is unique. How many times do you see big name English signings for the OF and they struggle despite how good they were in England?
As much as the new signings have improved us, and I like the look of them, how many Scottish players did we have in the starting 11 last night?
Look at the team that won the Scottish cup,
McGregor
Hanlon
Gray
Fyvie
Mcginn
Mcgeough
Stevenson
Cummings.
Even our non-Scottish players in Fontaine and Stokes had experience in Scottish football.
