You are not alone fellow netter.

There's an increasing number of us long-in-the-tooth posters getting pretty fed up with people continually talking the club down at every opportunity. It's like a propaganda machine run by about a dozen posters who regularly back each other up. They never appear on happy threads or ones slagging the Pink Mob. Their latest claim is that fans will start to boycott matches which is in stark contradiction to solid ST numbers at home and great away supports.

I don't mind hearing the valid views of a few bedwetters, it's just the frequency and repetitive attacks on all things Hibs that's spoling the fun of this great forum.

So @Jones28 - please, keep bothering!!

I keep being told that no Hibs 'supporter' wants bad things to happen to the club so they can moan more. Still not convinced that is actually the case, but regardless, it's beyond doubt that some people are just much happier being negative and putting the club down than they are offering positive support. It's bizarre, as is their frequent claim that it's the one's who want to offer a positive outlook that are holding the club back because they take advantage of their blind loyalty.

If supporting Hibs made me as constantly miserable as it seems to do to some I wouldn't bother. There will always be frustration supporting a club in a country where 2 teams are utterly dominant and have far bigger resources.

Really no clue what you are on about - he can't rip up a contract so what's he going to do if he ups and leaves?

The deal wasn't done - if it turned out after going all the way up to Edinburgh and hibs ended up mucking about for the sake of a few instalments etc I'd expect the player in question to say f this and head back down the road

Why not block them then if you find it so irritating? If we all agree with each other this place is going to become completely pointless. There are plenty of people on the happy clapper side 'who regularly back each other up', that's what happens when groups of people agree with each other. It's just life.

We can only go by the press articles that reported the deal throughout yesterday.

It's just my assumption, but it seems Hibs tried to re-negotiate the terms of the deal which either meant us paying less or payments broken down in more instalments.

Swindon told us to GTF and pulled out. Hibs then went back and agreed the original terms, but due to us messing them about Swindon took the huff, agreed the deal but delayed it, so McKirdy could not be registered in time.

Again, only my assumption.

so straight away your assumption is Hibs are the wrong doers in this,take it you believe the pet Swindon journalist,s account of things then and wont consider that fault could be Swindon,s?

Does it come down to the whole thing of people reacting more to bad news that they do with good ? People love pissing and moaning. The meltdown last night and at various point this year has been mental

The deal was done, he had his photo shoot signing the contract - it wasn't registered in time by Swindon (going by the reports yesterday). Same thing happened last season iirc but it was the fault of Leicester City (the signing club) and the player had to sit out until the next window. You seem to be trying very hard to find fault with Hibs for whatever reason.

I agree. but for the sake of some harmony...come on people ! we know who we have in the squad now and who we don't. We have made some amazingly positive signings like Boyle and Marshall and Cabraja, that I think everyone agrees are great business. Let's get behind the team and the manager and start seeing the positives..trust me, positive energy makes a huge difference to a club. If the players and the club feel they are always under attack and one bad pass away from being booed and abused on social media, it will affect them. So let's give our mental health and their mental health a boost and start being positive wherever possible

Wouldn't be so bad if it was actually factual bad news... people just making stuff up in their own heads to hammer the club a lot of the time.

He's only an injury or red card away from pretty much needing to play

I think we will want to line up with Porto and Hanlon for the next 8 weeks or so but chances are 1 will be out at sompoint

I've never seen him play, maybe he will be a useful addition

As for hightower, I hope his u 21 caps go some way to making it quicker. Read a report saying hibs hope that's soon

"Hibs*require international clearance and work permit approval for Kukharevych but are hopeful of completing that sooner rather than later."

You are away on another tangent here - or misunderstanding. Infact its the exact opposite of trying to find fault with Hibs

Im saying if hibs were the team driving the change to the initial verbally agreed deal (the one that caused McKirdy to travel up for medical etc) - I wouldn't expect the player to hang around all day while the team that apparently want him have went back on what they agreed the night before

That makes me think the changes to the initially verbally agreed deal came from the Swindon end - hence why Mckirdy sat it out all day in Edinburgh

Thats separate from the document issue we are waiting for FIFA on

Its suits the narrative of some to place all the woes of the world on Hibs shoulders because it suits their greetin' face agenda where the take it out on Hibs on-line instead of kicking their cat or beating their wives as they wpuld have done pre-internet.

In this instance the facts don't suit their agenda so as usual the fall back on alternative actuality based on one post by a weblogger who was played by Swindon.

1. Swindon accepted the deal verbally
2. The player was allowed to travel for medical and signing
3. Swindon encountered a delay in getting their replacement, Luke Jefcott, over the line as his deal took until 10:35 to complete. They were hanging on in case that fell through and they still needed McKirdy.
4. Swindon also had to shell out more than expected for the guy they signed from Spurs and were financially stretched as the also had signed a Plan B if Jefcott fell through and McKirdy gave them the finger.
5. Swindon didn't want to lose McKirdy in the first place but as he was entering final year of his contract the asset value would plummet after this window.
6. Swindon have form dicking people about...and the delaying tactic including late submission of paperwork is no surprise.

Well done to the Hibernian negociators who held their nerve, signed an alternative, Ukrainian, target and forced Swindon's arm at the last minute to get the deal over the line.

Hardly held our nerve if we signed another striker that we may not need..

[euro Hibby]

I have not posted in ages but try to read everything Hibs and keep watching the games on Hibs TV from home in Italy. Like any Hibs fan , i want us to win and play good football but in all my years as a supporter that is and never was a constant. If you understand that our best chance is top 6 and maybe a cup run then your expectations are managed and if any time you are not happy , it is only for a couple of hours then you move on.

The rubbish on here is pretty much over the top at times and if you did not know the history of Hibs you would think that we were a top team , with a huge turnover and fan base to give us the cash needed to compete at the top.
I admire Ron as he is one who puts his money on the line and deserves respect for that. If his son is in recruitment , so be it but as communicated many times , the boy is part of a team and does not have the last say.
Recruiting in football is really a hit or a miss. You can pay millions for a dud or a great player who just does not perform or you can take the scatter gun approach and spend your limited budget on hopefuls which is what Hibs does more than not ! Call it hedging your bets and if i get one right out of 5 , I can make quick money to improve the player pool or make the business more viable. Celtic and latterly Rangers are now in a different league in that respect and at Hibs , I believe the goal is to consistently be top 6 and get into europe so the club profile is increased and we can sell more players on from 3 million and up.

Eveyone of course has an opinion and that is fine but i keep hearing spouted " my club " Yes my club as a supporter but thats it and Ron can say he will spend it as he and his management think best to either cash the chips in or hold.

So far the football has been poor but with a new team of unknowns will need time to become a unit so we are going to be up and down this year. Off course if you are not happy you can vote with your feet ! I was thinking of stopping my season ticket with Hibs TV but I will stay with them because it is my team and tbh , I have seen it all before and worse. off course we are all going to have different opinions but as a few are saying be good to the team you love because if the current lot don't turn it around there will be others ready to give it a go.

Well done to you for extending the hyperbolic hysteria agenda to include domestic and animal abuse. Last night on the PM board we had someone trying to slip in a bit of suggestion of xenophobia into the discussion.

If you criticise the club then you’re the virtual version of a wife beater.

Belter.

There’s a post elsewhere suggesting a dozen critical posters on Hibs.net are going to derail the season for the club. And to think it’s folk that are negative who are being called mental.

so you’re assuming that Swindon decided to leave it late meaning they’d be stuck paying a guy they don’t want or release him for nothing 🤔 I’d assume there’s absolutely no chance of anyone doing that

[Posh Swanny]

Just circling back to McKirdy's suspension. Not sure if it's been confirmed yet but I've read this afternoon that Peterborough's Nathan Thompson will serve his one match suspension tomorrow, which means the EFL Trophy match in medweek did NOT count towards his suspension. Assuming that's correct, Harry will have two games outstanding.

Mckirdy wasn't handed a suspension for being sent off , it was a further suspension for his antics in the refs changing room. Probably a blanket suspension and not for any one particular competition

And adding another variable..if his registration with Hibs is held up due to FIFA I assume he’s technically still a Swindon player so will serve another game of his suspension tomorrow if his clearance hasn’t came through by that point?
