Nish (Again) Merged Threads

[essexhibee]

Yet more masterclass ground hugging from Colin "Pish" Nish! Woooooooo yaaayyy. What a player we have in the big man. His attributes include :

1) Being unable to score
2) Being unable to stay on his feet
3) Being unable to header a ball
4) Being unable to pass the ball
5) Being unable to hold up the ball
6) Being unable to win an ariel challenge ( Which is understandable of course being 6"4)
7) Being unable to shoot
8) Being unable to play football.

Im really looking forward to people on here defending that big useless numpty after another one of his wonder performances. I feel sorry for benji to be honest, to be kept out of this awful hibs team by this awful (sorry great target man) must be a very sore one to take. Still going to defend him people :bye::bye::bye:

[truehibernian]

Dobbies Garden Centre could sign him on a free seeing as he likes to hug grass so much.

[Diclonius]

Nish has to go. Now. Never a ****ing striker in a million years. Can't pass, win the ball or shoot. He's been consistantly ***** for a good while and his time is up. Season over, Hibs career over. Along with the defence he lost us the game today with his blatant refusal to resemble anything close to good. I lost count of the times he lost control of the ball, ****ed up a pass or completely miss hit a shot. He's been costing up points in games before now and today he was the ringleader in the most ****ing cowardly forward line I have seen in a derby for years. *****.

u wanna blame sbody point the finger at yogi,who aint got a clue bout tactics!!!!!

[Allant1981]

been saying on here for ages he is a piss poor striker and lots of people have came on and defended him. He showed again today that he should be no where near a place in the squad let alone actually playing for one of the so called top teams in the league. Has no pace, cant head, cant pass, cant tackle cant shoot. What he the hell was he doing with the free kick when he ducked out of the way? But he is a hibs fan so lets get behind him!!!

[Broken Gnome]

The thought of him still being a first choice by August is almost enough for me to take a pair of scissors to my season ticket card.

Time to look for better. Wouldn't be hard.

Stokes chased the ball a hell of a lot more than Nish. I still dont understand why people come on and defend him. He has to be one of the worst strikers ive seen at ER in a very long time

[CiscoKid]

I don't think Nish is good enough but I think our problems are a lot deeper than that, I don't think our midfield gave him any balls of quality and I don't think anyone got close enough to link up with Nish and support him.

Nish is an easy target but he was only 1 out of 9 or 10 reasons we lost today.

he had plenty of the ball today, he just didnt do anything with it, and as i previously posted what the hell was he doing ducking out the way of the ball coming in from the free kick. Ball was up there for ages waiting to be attacked and he s!!t himself

Nah.....we played a 6'3" powder puff one instead mate. No one, absolutely no one, can defend Colin Nish's form in the last half of the season. He ducked out of a cross ball FFS in an attacking position. His hold up play was simply terrible and he was on the deck more than a croupier.

[houston1875]

ok then boys...


what do you all suggest?

[Hibby70]

Rankin won more headers against Obua today than Nish won against anyone. Says it all really.

Thought he had a great first half. Maybe it looks different at the game?

Anyone can see Colin Nish is torture. He can't run, can't shoot, he can't header, he can't control the ball. Now i'd have stuck a lampost on the 18 yarder and i bet it would do more than he did.

Thing is though surely hughes can see the same as every other person in the stadium. For the last few weeks he has been stuck in the stand so has had a better view than he normally would yet he still sticks by Nish( and the rest who have been gash) its clear Nish isnt the best and if hughes wants to play the long ball then he needs a stronger and better player than nish

[Cool_Hand_Luke]

Took my mate along today as we had a spare season ticket. He doesn't support Hibs so is a neutral and has no bias towards Nish either way.
His thoughts after about 10 minutes - which continued for the rest of the game - were that he is one of the worst football players he has ever seen in his life. His second touch is a header and he offers absolutely nothing to the team.
Mirrors my own opinion of him :agree:
What must Benji/Byrne/Galbraith be thinking when they see this guy getting 90 minutes regularly and they're stuck on the bench/in the stands.
Worse than Konte :agree:

[K.Marx]

David Obua.....sadly, as much as he was laughed at when he arrived in the SPL, made a huge contribution to their wins this season. Nish did zero. A few times Obua managed to bring difficult balls under control and play nice simple balls to his wide player or overlapping full back. Nish just lost balls, failed to stay on his feet, and continually lost possession and lost momentum in attacks. Sad sad sad days when a Hibs team would look better with David Obua, but so true. Thought him and that young Templeton played very well, but with more leadership and more composure, neither of their goals would have happened. But Captain Kamikaze and his trusty band of fellow defenders gave them the result. Fair play to them though, I think with the green tinted specs off, they deserved it as they again wanted it more. Until our club start being honest with the fans, and the players start to be honest with themselves, it will always be the way. Huge huge problems behind the scenes methinks and far far too lenient on the discipline front. As someone pointed out, Hughes is far to friendly with the players and doesn't command respect. Eddie May said exactly the same at Falkirk......the players laughed at him behind his back.

[Aspire]

Nish not good enough to move the club forward. Mid table player

[Dunbar Hibee]

Behave ursel!

[Hibby Bairn]

Played a great ball to Riordan first half from edge of box which gk got fingertips to.

[cockneymike]

I watched the game on tv, so I realise it's not the best perspective....

However I can see why someone would think that Nish did well in the first half, both Riordan and Rankin's shots that were saved, both came from excellent lay offs from Nish. And they were about our best/ only two attacking chances.

That said, the reason they were about our only two attacking chances were because his link up play is so totally abysmal! He is so crucial to the way we try to play the game, and the fact is technically he's not up to it.

His touch is awful, he is so slow, his passing is terrible and his balance is like that of a toddler learning to walk. As a result when the ball gets up to him, he either gets successfully challenged by defenders, or when he does get it down he doesn't have the ability to do anything with it.

It's no wonder supporters from other clubs he used to play for all think that he was rubbish too.

[Allant1981]

was that the simple one two when riordan was only about 4 yards away from him. That shows how bad we are getting if we think that pass was GREAT

yip i wasnt that impressed by hearts today but then again i wasnt that impressed by hibs either, i didnt think we done enough to deserve a victory but didn think hearts done enough to win. Daft defending/goalkeeping again has cost us

[Hibby Bairn]

No it was a 'deft' touch that Riordan probably should have scored from.

TBH I think we are all going overboard here. Hibs did ok today. But tired and lost it last 15 with some dodgy goalkeeping.

Same as Parkhead recently. Hughes should have made it 442 or 451 on both occasions and it might have been 6 pts.

First half, young Templeton brought a good save, Kingston hit the post, Obua was inches away from another Templeton cross, and their corners brought a wee element of panic. Second half, they scored two, defended well (not hard against Nish and Stokes), battled all the way to the 90, and forced errors. What really did Hibs do second half ? Hence my reason for saying that over the piece, Hearts winning was IMHO deserved.

[Dunbar Hibee]

My opinion mate...thats how bad i think Nish is :agree:

I agree he's bad but.. Konte's level? :faf:

[MountcastleHibs]

The highlight of Nish's performance today was a ball placed right on his head by Rankin and he chooses to duck out of the way, letting the ball go out for a goal kick.

He might be 6 foot 4, but he jumps at a height of 5 foot 11.

He can't even time his jump to head it either.:yawn:

Nish and Wotherspoon were never in the game today. We could all see that, how come Yogi didn't? How he hasn't at least given Benji a chance, instead of Nish, is beyond me.

That's the biggest p!sstake for me. Nish was contributing nothing, either during the periods when looking for a winner or equaliser (see that time he had time to pick out one of three advanced Hibs players but passed it straight to a Hearts centre half). Meanwhile Benji (not everyone's cup of tea, but had a grade of footballing intelligence) stands beside the goals warming up, looking at the utter stupidity that is spread all through that Hibs side, and is completely ignored.

Yes the Benji and Galbraith bandwagon's might be hyperbolic, but far too often Hughes has let players plod onwards when the prospect of them influencing the game in a positive manner went some time before. Pathetic that Nish stayed on.

[Dunbar Hibee]

In 1 word... yes.

I thought Nishy did well today.

Yes, he's limited, but his contribution today was important.

He and Rankin were the best in a Hibs shirt for me.

Sometimes we see what we want to see.

[hibee_girl]

Yet again Nish is the scapegoat for our defeat :bitchy:

Every time Nish was going for the ball or on the ball today he had about 3 Hearts players around him and NO Hibs players around him to help him out, what the hell is he meant to do?! He was also getting dogs abuse when he failed to control a ball that Miller played to him about 100 miles an hour yet 2 seconds later when Deek failed to control a simple pass everyone was all 'oh hard luck Deek'

He had some superb layoffs today, one particular one to Rankin leading up to Rankin's shot which was well saved. Everyone ignores that though :rolleyes:

I personally would keep Nish :agree:

You can dress this up with what ever excuse you think about him being a "scapegoat" bit he was rotten and has been all season. I thought, before this season he was all right, but now he is a joke and should never been seen in a hibs shirt again. What did he do that "he had about 3 hearts palers around him" (which I did not see this) was worth while ?

Is Drogba out of contract..?

[truehibernian]

I bet you any money that when that free kick we had was fired in and Nish ducked, Lee Wallace said something like "dinnae head it the baw's goat sh*te oan it". Surely that is the reason a professional football player, playing as a striker, has for ducking a cross in the opposition's box :confused: Nish is like Hogg, never a footballer in a million years and a scapegoat he is because today sir, he was pash. One lay-off does not maketh the man :faf:

you obviously ignored his subtle ball for the Riordan first halkf chance then.....

Some people constantly bemoan Colin Nish, but at times he had 3 players round him, and fought valiantly.......

Still the usual favourites remain uncritised..........

What position is Nish's best position then ?

[greenlex]

:confused:

What position is Nish's best position then ?
He was brought in as a goalsacoring striker. Up front as a target man I reckon although his inability to hold the ball up wihtout falling on his erse would maybe make that difficult. It certainly isnt where he is playing at the moment where very little sticks to him and he aint gonna score goals there.

[truehibernian]

No....Riordan was utter gash as well........and Stokes, Hogg, Wotherspoon, Hanlon and Smith. Colin Nish has been off form for over 10 games yet is still picked ahead of others who are IMHO better players, younger, hungrier, and technically better. This "physical presence" stuff is pie in the sky. He spends most of a game on his erchie, losing the ball, or moaning when he doesn't get a decision. Get young Kurtis in, up front with either Stokes or Riordan, and play a balanced 4-4-2 (dropping one of the two latter named). And if McCann is worth the bench, then he is fit as far as I am concerned. Get him in at RB and move Thicot in with Hanlon. Drop Hogg......simples !

[HONG KONG PHOOEY]

The thing I cannot understand is that if ANYONE give Nish abuse then we have to discuss everyone else in the team. We all know Riordan, Stokes, Rankin, Smith etc all had bad games but Nish also had a bad game and done nothing. Nish always does nothing (well at least his season) so lets have a fair discussion on him and not Nish is just as bad as whoever else. We can have thread on whoever else you want.

The way he has been playing since Christmas he aint even that. Hate to jump on the band wagon but he really, really has been poor of late. Just think back to the sitters he has missed in the last 4/5 games. If he aint scoring goals and he can't hold the ball up then he aint doing his job.
Still I'd rather have him than Sheridan.

aye ok then he had one "subtle ball".

What about the umpteen times he lost possession, lost a header, miscontrolled the ball or just fell on his arse? He's pish.

Im sure I could do one decent thing in a 90 min game of football...Does that mean I can get a game for Hibs?

[BWhiteman1972]

Nish has been poor for well over a year, I would much rather have seen Benji get the game time that Nish has, even for the last 5 months.

I'm not saying Benji is fantastic, but he couldn't possibly have been any worse than Nish.

It appears Yogi has some kind of affection for him, and he's not the only one. I acknowledge Stokes has bagged 20 plus goals this season but he is a lazy *******, with no pace, poor reaction times and terrible decision making.

I know there are major issues with Riordan, but I would rather see him playing through the middle or even better just behind a front two with a free role. Anytime he plays through the middle he gets involved in the game. It's clear he hates playing wide left and although he should be giving 110% everytime he pulls on the shirt, I can understand his frustration.

[K.Marx]

It appears Yogi has some kind of affection for him

Maybe because they have an equally low IQ? :dunno:

[Hibbie_Cameron]

I feel for him. I know he his not the best player in the SPL but when you try to win/play flick ons to players who dont move its pretty hard. Maybe some of them would work if players made runs and got closer to him

[BWhiteman1972]

Maybe because they have an equally low IQ? :dunno:

so if we all agree with him does that mean we are all wrong because only 5% of fans know what they are talking about and they dont say anything. the guy is a **** footballer who is very very lucky to be playing top division football. He should maybe stick to trying to play football than having a go at the fans who pay money to watch and quite rightly moan if we are getting horsed every week

Really wish Hughes would just GTF and take his bum-boy Nish with him :grr:

That's bit rich from a player yet to learn the off side rule, perfect the art of staying on his feet & who gets sent off for incredibly stupid reasons.

[Sprouleflyer]

Not read the whole thread but my tuppence worth is that Nish has to go when the season is over.

Others who need to leave are - Cregg, Maka, Smith or Stack, Stevenson, Hogg, McCormack, Gow.

Others who will probably leave that I would want to stay - Bamba, Benji.

Positions we need filled - A seasoned right back, a seasoned center half, a sesoned holding midfielder, a seasoned target man.

Get the back bone of the team right and build around that.

:bitchy:
I feel sure that this interview with Nish would have been conducted prior to the derby yesterday; the journalist has simply cut and pasted the responses to gloss over that fact. That way he makes Nish's comments even more controversial to the Hibs support the morning after a derby defeat.

However, even with that Nish's comments just reek of complacency. That's the worst element of it - much less bothered about Nish having a go at the supporters.

It portrays a losing mentality and an acceptance of mediocrity with a shrug.

[lyonhibs]

Kevin Kyle, Antoine Curier, John Sutton, Billy Mehmet, even Kenny ****in Deucher, David Obua, Timmy Mallett, Kermit the Frog, Daffy Duck etc etc look better than Nish..

Just a wee addition there :greengrin

Nish is absolutely dreadful - he had one nice - probably accidental - touch to set up Riordan in the first half, but apart from that he looked puggled, hands on hips, and his TOUCH!!! OH MY GOD, his touch!!! What is that man's body made of that makes the ball bounce of it like that??

Every part of his body seems to operate of a completely seperate level of co-ordination and time schedule - nothing is ever co-ordinated in his movements - apart from his mastery of the "slow-mo fall to the ground" - and you can almost see this "Loading" bar above his head whilst his pea-brain thinks about what to do next with the ball, by which time - of course - the opposition has snaffled the ball away from him, if his touch of a rapist hadn't already given them the ball back.

Rotten.

[K.Marx]

you can almost see this "Loading" bar above his head whilst his pea-brain thinks about what to do next with the ball

:faf: so true!

[Baldy Foghorn]

aye ok then he had one "subtle ball".

What about the umpteen times he lost possession, lost a header, miscontrolled the ball or just fell on his arse? He's pish.

Im sure I could do one decent thing in a 90 min game of football...Does that mean I can get a game for Hibs?

Take the blinkers off, you might see more of the games?

[Baldy Foghorn]

Not at all. If Nish continues to be fielded and contributes nothing to a game that I have paid to watch then I shall pick on him.

I simply do not think he is worth putting on the pitch, When is on the pitch it is like playing with ten men.

As you point out there are others in the team that get things wrong and least if we are looking for consistancy then Nish is consistantly garbage.

This has been commented on for the entire season not just the recent poor run of results.

It's admirable that you defend a player in the team you support but when that player detremental to the team by being there then perhaps it's time to stop defending him.

for the greater good, or something like that.

One thing he does show though, if he is first choice then those wishing to take his place must be rank rotten.

He contributed more to the game yesterday than the fans favourite....

Mate if anyones got blinkers on it's you! I'm not saying he's the only numpty in that Hibs team but he is absolutely keek and I find it hard to believe that there are still folk that defend him after one inept performance after another.

ah so you did mean riordan, he had alot more of the ball than nish, was looking to get the ball to his own players. was looking to get passed his markers. plus the two shots you speak of were two more than the useless plum that was playing up front had. im not riordans biggest fan but he had a better game than nish but then again that wouldnt be hard as he has to be one of the worst strikers in the premier league

[Baldy Foghorn]

[500miles]

I watched Nish get rounded on by 3 hearts players, knock the ball on to Miller (IIRC), before getting bundled over. Some ******** then decided to should "TOO WEAK NISH! SHOCKING - WHY IS HE STILL ON THE PITCH YOGI?" Even when he get's it right, he seems to get it wrong according to some folk.

People see what they want to see.

Exactly....

Nish could score 3 goals in Cup Final, and he would still get berated on here.....

[BEEJ]

Still as others are exempt from criticism blame it all on Nish........
Nish has manged to create for himself a poor reputation with the referees in Scotland, probably due to all the unproductive verbals and back-chat he's given them over the years.

Consequently, he seldom gets a fair share of the decisions that he would otherwise deserve.

In terms of contribution yesterday (I wasn't there) he seemed to be effective in defending set pieces - BBC commentary team highlighted that aspect of his role more than once. In a squad otherwise short in stature that is one of the reasons that Nish starts.

[Baldy Foghorn]

You see what I mean? there is criticism of a player's performance and in his defence we get the above.

ok, Nish scores 3 in a cup final but............... he misses 3 sitters and we get beat 4 - 3.


told you he was useless


just playing by your rules

I also saw Nish on countless occasions lose the ball through a lack of rudimentary ball control, and also fail to even get off the ground when challenging for an aerial ball, a trick that even John Rankin seems to have mastered, all 5 foot 4" of him.

People see what they see. I applauded Nish on the occasion you mention, but the fact of the matter is that - IMO - for the most part, he is awful, and the most pathetically ineffective 6' 4" striker one could ever wish to clap eyes on.

[BWhiteman1972]

I think the point we're all missing here is that Nish is simply not good enough for Hibs. I'm not saying we should expect World Class strikers, but let's face it there are much better strikers out there that would love a shot at playing for this club.

[lucky]

Nish is poor even by SPL standards but I believe its unforgivable for a Hibs player to insult 95% of the Hibs support. The old saying of "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" springs to mind.

He thinks Hughes is a good manager and Hughes thinks he's a player worth a start most weeks, nuff said. Sooner they're both gone from Hibs, the better

[Beefster]

You know the end is coming when the players start slating the fans.

"If we were winning games they would get bored"

That's the best bit though - not much chance of being bored any time soon then.

Edit: If Riordan can be fined for criticising the pitch, will Nish be criticised be fined for doing the same to the fans?

im not going to make this into a thread about riordan. i didnt think he was that great yesterday either but nish was certainly not any better. if you think nish is a good player and had a good game then thats up to you. if you want this kind of pish at the club then again thats up to you. id rather have someone better than nish as he is rank rotten. and the sports reporters in this country are dire so i wouldnt read to much into their marks

To be brutally honest, and albeit he was also not the best technically, we lat MAC go far far too soon. Always raised his game in the big ones and ran his socks off. Strong, committed, very rarely eased off the ball. Seems to be getting his off field problems sorted out too. Lovely big guy too and loved Hibs (still does).

[SneakersO'Toole]

I find it quite staggering that some people are defending Nish after yesterdays performance and if we are being honest, the majority of his performances over the course of the season. How he managed to stay on the park for 90mins yesterday is unbelievable.

He was abolsutely dreadful from start to finish. He wasn't the only one but at least the likes of Stokes and Riordan have contributed this season with goals.

I said the same last week but if we want to be having seasons like Dundee Utd this season then players like Nish should not be playing 30+ games per season.

There is a reason why people are constantly lambasting Nish. My eyes are wide open when it comes to him. He is not good enough. End of story.

[Kaiser1962]

I have to say that I dont know this for a fact but from personal obseervation Hibs fans will take some beating in the whinging and girning stakes. I think most supports are the same though. Even when we were going well people were moaning.

If someone had offered me this position last August I would have taken it. Of course I am as p155ed off as everyone else but lets get this back into perspective.

He's happy tae take our dosh so he can take the stick for his inept pathetic performances.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Coz Nish's comments were in the Sunday Mail, which is as big a Tory rag as you will ever find, perhaps he was misquoted. :greengrin

Mind you, if he wasn't then he needs his bumps felt.

If you are a professional footballer and the fans think you are pants then the stock answer is to say. "They pay their money and are entitled to their opinion". This is footballer speak for who are these numpties who probably canny even do 3 at keepy up to slag me off.

However. Anybody who wants an objective view of what sort of player Colin Nish is should dig out their CIS cup final DVD.

The only time he gets a mention is when the commentator points out that he is a Hibs supporter. Apart from that you wouldnt have known he was on the pitch.

And that was in a cup final.

Having said that, while at Hibs I dont think Nishy has been as bad as a lot of folk make out. But there are players out there who can be bought for the same or less than he cost and who could do the job he is asked to do better.

[hibsbollah]

I agree he's bad but.. Konte's level? :faf:

You're right to laugh.

Konte got us into Europe and scored against European opposition. Big Col wont do either.

[Phil MaGlass]

Mibbe we should have a poll asking if fans think he is pi5h or not and then making up a banner to tell it in percentages ie. 95% cant be wrong Nish you ARE pish

thing is I actually thought at first he was a good signing for Hibs and the link up play from midfield was pi5h,(which it is) if he could stay on his feet and header a baw he might make pass marks instead of pi55 marks.Thing is most of Yogis tactics are crap and have been sussed by even the worst teams in the league as shown on saturday,we have nae organisation,baws,skill,5hit the list is endless.Lets not gie Nish all the blame,we have a whole team of underachievers and even with Yogis lack of tactics, with the squad we have we should still be ATLEAST scraping draws.
Oh aye, lets NOT get on the backs of the young lads, it will do nothing for their confidence,if we can offload Yogi and a few of the wasters we might have a team worth supporting next season.I wonder what the new stand will sound like with 700 fans cheering the team on to relegation.
Oh aye if Yogi somehow manages to stay (after we fight our way to sixth place) and we are next year somehow succesful,mibbe 1 more point than this season (as that is what some on here are measuring success),I will buy Hibby2005 a bottle of whisky,but somehow I think that bet will be won by me.

Im sure the guy that sits next to me is one of the 5% hes a fu***ng know all.:cool2:

[skipster7]

It appears a few people are biting to these comments that was in a *****y sunday paper probably printed in the weege so it MUST be true! :rolleyes:
even if it is, i can tell you for a fact hes not the only player who thinks the negativity and abuse from the stands is OTT,and im not just talking about our recent "run".the bile that pores from the stands at our own players makes me sick.
even yesterday some guys seem to be in their element screaming abuse at certain players but sat with their traps shut when the same players did something good or when fans around them were getting behind the team:grr:

FWIW 95%seems a tad harsh:devil:

[gorgie_harp]

I personally couldnae give a toss what he says or thinks TBH. I just think that being a talentless huddie who makes a better living than most of the people who contribute tae his wages he'd be better keeping his gob shut than insulting those people. He's happy tae take our dosh so he can take the stick for his inept pathetic performances.

:agree::agree::top marks

[essexhibee]

That article from Nish in the NOTW has got me so angry. How dare he have a go at us.

Colin, from all of us that follow the green and white, we say this to you.

GTF you useless waste of a wage. Raging. :grr::grr:

[EasterRoad4Ever]

If the reported comments are true Nish has signalled the end of his Hibs career - what a silly, silly bugger. Now lets see of the manager or any of the other players would like to follow up with similar comments ?

[Diclonius]

If Nish is playing well, he's entitled to an opinion.

As it stands, he's a contributor as to why we're all so pissed off, and a result - GTF Nish. You did yourself no favours with your inept performances as of late, culminating in that embarrassing 90 minutes yesterday.

Go and find another club where your mediocrity is accepted, and here's a hint for you - don't bother slating your new supporters when they find you out. You'll just look even more of a tit than you already are.

[New Corrie]

says the worldly wise 17 year old

The wordly wise 17 year old is right though. If anyone seriously thinks that Colin Nish is as bad as Amadou Konte then Nish is right that the fans know nothing about football.

[Toaods]

I'll predict that Colin kens he's teas oot at ER.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I think a lot of what Nish says is spot on.

So do I. Even when we were on that unbeaten run at the start of the seaosn forlk were moaning that we weren't winning by big enough margins.


Has Nish got us into Europe or not? Simple question.

:hilarious Yes Konte will be forever a legend for his one and only goal for Hibs. Does Nish scoring against Aberdeen earlier in the season not count towards our points total this season?


says the worldly wise 17 year old

I agree with him. Anyone that thinks Konte's better than Nish is in the 95%.

[hibsbollah]

The wordly wise 17 year old is right though. If anyone seriously thinks that Colin Nish is as bad as Amadou Konte then Nish is right that the fans know nothing about football.


Konte is Marvin Gaye to Nish's James Blunt.

If you say different you know nothing about football. See, I can do it too:greengrin

[Hainan Hibs]

I do think a contest between Konte and Nish on who can make themselves the smallest when they jump would be a cracker:agree:

[Danderhall Hibs]

I do think a contest between Konte and Nish on who can make themselves the smallest when they jump would be a cracker:agree:

:hilarious The one he ducked under near the end yesterday was one of the best yet.

[hibsbollah]

I do think a contest between Konte and Nish on who can make themselves the smallest when they jump would be a cracker:agree:

But Colin has never mastered the famous Konte 'double header'. Its rumoured that he can't even count up to two. This is why he will always be second to Amadou in the eyes of many Hibs fans.

[mcfly]

colin "bambi on ice" nish is entitled to his opinion and me as one of the mugs who pays his wages is entitled to mine.

please colin will you put some studs in your boots and stop falling on your backside as its getting boring.

[500miles]

Colin's a Hibs fan, he's sat in the stands, and probably read all the messageboards too. He's got as much right to an opinion on us as we do an opinion on him.

He's right, the majority of football fans are total slavers. You just need to look at the fury and rage of some middle aged tit shouting all the abuse, or the way in which they allow a game of football to ruin thier entire week, to know that there is no way they are capable of taking a step back, and looking at the game based solely on what went on during the previous 90 minutes.

I'll take it back to the John Rankin statistical breakdown against whoever it was. Here were a queue of "experts" knocking out the same auld pish, and slating his passing. Then some clever person actually takes the step back, looks at the game for what it is, crunches some very simple numbers, and it's clear that his pass success rate of 88% is actually pretty good. There's your example of the majority not having a clue, and the minority being the ones to get it right.

If Colin Nish was as bad a football player as most of the fans are as experts, then he wouldn't even kick a ball at Junior level.

[Atalanta]

If Nish had been playing well people may have taken more notice of what he said. This is simply an attempt to deflect attention from his own abysmal performances. If the guy thinks that he deserves the support of the Hibs fans he has made a big mistake as should do his talking on the pitch rather than moaning to the papers. He is clearly as thick as mince.

He probably wouldnt make it in the Juniors, if he has enough problems with the physical side of the SPL then he would have a much harder time in the Juniors!:wink:

[Amit]

I think most fans know what the team needs and that is balance (i.e. 4-4-2), to play players in the correct position, a decent right back, and some hard work and determination... Hibs play for too much "tippy tappy" football.. always trying to pass it into the goal... 88% pass completion is good when you are winning games but means SFA when you are on an absolutely absimal run of form...

Players who dont have ability can't be slated for that as that is just life, however, a player who lacks ability and gives 100% will always have the backing of the fans (i.e. Sproule). There are a number of players in our team who dont have the ability and dont give 100%.. that annoys me more... as do those who have the ability and under perform week in, week out...

The manager needs to take alot of responsibility and listen to his own advice. Hughes talked about changing things and going back to basics yet he plays the same system with the same players unless they are injured...

Our problems at ER lie much deeper than our below average players...

Just for the record... I think the 95% figure Nish quoted is garbage... we may not be managers or football experts but even an idiot can see where the problems lie in the Hibs team..

I fully expect there to be a clear out come this summer... and if Hughes doesnt address the basic problems in our squad then we will struggle next season and be left behind as other teams improve...

[KiddA]

I think he is pish :agree:

Someone said he had skillful feet but its a pity he can't stand on them.

See you later Colin good luck finding a club in the summer :bye:

[KiddA]

Mibbe we should have a poll asking if fans think he is pi5h or not and then making up a banner to tell it in percentages ie. 95% cant be wrong Nish you ARE pish

thing is I actually thought at first he was a good signing for Hibs and the link up play from midfield was pi5h,(which it is) if he could stay on his feet and header a baw he might make pass marks instead of pi55 marks.Thing is most of Yogis tactics are crap and have been sussed by even the worst teams in the league as shown on saturday,we have nae organisation,baws,skill,5hit the list is endless.Lets not gie Nish all the blame,we have a whole team of underachievers and even with Yogis lack of tactics, with the squad we have we should still be ATLEAST scraping draws.
Oh aye, lets NOT get on the backs of the young lads, it will do nothing for their confidence,if we can offload Yogi and a few of the wasters we might have a team worth supporting next season.I wonder what the new stand will sound like with 700 fans cheering the team on to relegation.
Oh aye if Yogi somehow manages to stay (after we fight our way to sixth place) and we are next year somehow succesful,mibbe 1 more point than this season (as that is what some on here are measuring success),I will buy Hibby2005 a bottle of whisky,but somehow I think that bet will be won by me.

I jumped right on that, thanks for the idea :top marks oh and I voted pish

[MWHIBBIES]

I think he is pish :agree:

Someone said he had skillful feet but its a pity he can't stand on them.

See you later Colin good luck finding a club in the summer :bye:I agree he isnt great but doesnt deserve all the **** he gets on here as he is certainly not the only one who is ***** in out squad.

[Lofarl]

A sitter v the Hamilton game and a fresh air swipe at Darkheid sum up his ability for me. He may well be a Hibee but thats no excuse. You dont see me running out onto the pitch do you?

I bet I would not be caught offside as often nor fall doon every time the ball is passed up to me either.

[zlatan]

Pretty pish but a likeable chap nonetheless.

[Iain G]

Surely the option should just be:

Pish or Nish :confused: :greengrin

[IWasThere2016]

What a terrible poll :bitchy:











Whaurs the pisher than pish option? :devil:

[KWJ]

While he's very often pish he also does the odd bit of brilliance. Only thing decent I can recall in the derby was putting through Deeks with a sublime little touch.

I'm not voting as he's both pish and not pish.

Still rather have him than kyle while preffering someone better. What we'd give for a Mixu, Killen or even Pornstar.

Aww that's unfair! To even suggest someone is in the same category as McQuilken is really mean... That guy had the football skills of an emperor penguin.

Didn't we get rid of McAllister to bring him in? God that was one of the worst years for emptying decent players to bring in complete gash.

[brydekirk]

the guy is a trier but sadly does not have the talent or co-ordination and composure to stay at hibs.

it was lee power i was talking about but its prob just the same

to date nish has played more games in his career than power, yet power has scored more goals. Says it all really

[KWJ]

oops sorry bud, I quoted the wrong post. Meant to quote the one you quoted.

Had to check your stats though as sounded mental.

Power has scored 34 goals for club (mostly lower level) and country inc U21s.

Nish has scored 69 goals mostly in the SPL.

I don't have a huge problem with Lee Power, was typical Duffy. Nice goal against Celtic is all I can remember though.

[The Sea-gull]

Oh dear Colin, it's a long way back for you now.

Whether you have a point and whether you get a lot of unfair criticism is another story but I think when an already unpopular player slags off 95% of the support then you are on a hiding to nothing.

Apart from anything else, you may be a good hibby and a nice guy but you've been at Hibs a couple of years now and haven't done enough.

It's just not working and I take no satisfaction in saying that it is time for you to move on as we need to get a more effective player in your position.

I think this clown should be issuing an apology for not "representing the club in a positive light". he better hope I don't run into him, ive been practising my above the knee challenges.

[Ray_]

If we were going for comparisons I'd have to say Jim Blair. Although to be fair to Jim, he did score two against Rangers in a 3-2 win and also scored a couple against Malmo.

[Bobster]

I suspect these kind of posts are started by imposters from the other side of the city who are on the wind up. Unfortunately too many on here fall for it.
Imagine slagging off a fellow Hibs supporter who tries his best for the club even if it doesn't always come off. It doesn't make sense.

To slag off the fans while in a run that ranks one of the worst in the clubs history was an extremely foolish thing to do, that's the part that doesn't make sense, mind you, he was just following Yogi's lead, after his remarks about internet fans.

He mentioned that 95% of fans do not know anything about football, yet he has only recently discovered that you don’t play it on your backside, the offside rule, well, that’ll take a bit longer.

Just even the title of the poll option is insulting about a Hibs player. I recall the hounding of Brian Kerr in similar fashion and maybe he wasn't the best but he still scored the winner in a derby match at Tynecastle which takes on legendary status in my book. http://www.hibs.net/message/images/smilies/thumbs%20up.gif
Just don't think it helps the confidence of players if they are slaughtered by their own and I suspect some people who are not genuine Hibs fans like to fan the flames - I maybe wrong but just a hunch.

Brian Kerr, legendary status, same sentence????

Having been a "genuine Hibs fan" for over 40 years, I don't think that obliges me to be nice about players who are just plain rank rotten, just because they wore the scarf as a kid. Good professionals take stick from the fans in their stride, and don't abuse them in the press at the drop of a hat.

Nish is a lumbering liability on the pitch and a spoilt brat off it. If saying that makes me less of a Hibby than you, so be it.

i personally think nish has good moments more often than not outweighed by the bad, but the way "fans" scream at nish, rankin etc at the games is laughable and cringworthy.
imo he started the derby quite well but then his first mistake was pounced upon by imbiciles with vien popping rage.it goes beyond taking stick when everytime a player receives the ball there are howls of derison if hes not done something amazing within a microsecond and this doesn't just apply to nish.
Easter rd at times can have a horrible negative atmosphere which trancends onto the pitch, it must be a real hoot playing in that atmospere and certainly doesn't help.
i think some of the name calling of players and managers on here is pathetic, i mean is there any need for people from the team we are meant to support to be called "******ed" and "imbicile" ? it makes me think some posters are incapable of having a reasonable post without resorting to personal insults which says more about the poster than anything else.

yip pretty much, i honestly dont think nish along with quite a few others are good enough to play for any team in the top 6 but thats just my opinion. As ive said elsewhere if hughes keeps players like nish at the club then we wont progress as i hope he would like us to and they may end up costing him his job

[Diclonius]

i may be wrong but hasnt the guy only socred 18 goals since signing for the club? doesnt seem to be a good scorig record to me. I really hope we dont sell stokes/riordan in the summer as this is the player we will need to depend on to score us goals:bitchy:

Not bad for a player who's main threat is playing in other players, has competed with Fletcher, Stokes, Benji, Zemmama and Riordan for a place, and spends most of the game in midfield territory to start attacks.

[Phil MaGlass]

I think he is pish :agree:

Someone said he had skillful feet but its a pity he can't stand on them.

See you later Colin good luck finding a club in the summer :bye:

do you think because his feet are more skilful and quicker than him, is the reason why he spends 95%
of the game on his er5e?
He just cannae keep up with them, have to say , with Nish being a Hibs fan and getting so much dogs abuse must be a real downer , but Im no changing ma posts.
Is he our modern day Joe Tortolano?

[500miles]

aye ok, zemmama and riordan play in midfield and fletch has been away since the start of the season and benji has hardly kicked a ball this season.

Nish isn't playing as a goalscoring forward. He's there for his link up play and so he can start moves - THAT's why he can be compared with Zemmama.

Riordan has played up front, but yes, mostly at left mid. Mostly because he can't do what Nish does.

Benji - the man so many folk are calling for to get "a chance" has had a few, and never produced performances as regularly as Nish. In fact his poor form - under Collins (despite Mixu getting the blame for his decline - we just ignore the last half season under Collins apparently) was what made Nish a JC signing target, and a Mixu signing.

Fletcher WAS here for a season and a half though, and Nish is now playing a similar role to him, except even deeper. And playing that role even effected Fletcher's - who has shown some real ability in the EPL - goalscoring record.

aye we know he isnt playing as a goal scoring forward thats half the problem. he is a forward. its their jobs first and foremost to score goals and he isnt doing it often enough. I've not checked but i reckon he must have played at least 30 games this year and to have only scored 6 goals is pretty poor. Not just that but his whole game is pretty poor. Yip every now and again he lays one off for someone else to have a shot but every now and again isnt good enough. He needs to be doing it every week and he isnt. he isnt the only one like this in the squad which just isnt good enough

[500miles]

Sorry, we've got Stokes and Riordan in the same team, but his first job, above all else should be to score goals? Nonsense - he's there to work for team, Stokes and Riordan are there to get the goals.

Not pish, he isn't brilliant but puts in 100% and the statistics show this season that the whole team appear to get better results when Nish starts, although he was a prick for saying 95% of fans don't know what their talking about, what i don't know is why he's getting involved with us fans if we 'don't know what were talking about'.

so we have to depend on two players to bail us out everytime we need goals. Away and dont talk nonsense. Nish is SUPPOSED to be a striker is he not. Maybe 6 goals per season is fine if your playing for a 1st division team but for a team wanting to get into europe then this is no where near good enough

I would imagine getting goaded by your own support, regardless of what you do, because they have a lacking knowledge of football is pretty tiresome.

Nish is right. That' why 0.0001% of fans are employed as managers.

To make it a fairer comparison could you remove Mensing's penalties from his "tally"?

They've got MAC that they NEED to get goals from - first and foremost. He's hardly leaving Nish in the dust, and Colin's goals are the secondary part of his game.

listen you can defend him day and night but it wont make a blind bit of difference. He is not a good footballer and ive came up against better forwards in the juniors. if ur happy to watch players of this quality at ER then good for you

Then how come they haven't played consistantly in the SPL for most of thier adult lives then? How come they haven't taken the £5k a week on offer from lower league english teams?(Scunthorpe, who we had to compete with for his signature)

It's because you're talking pish.

well that has just shown how much you really know about football now as there are loads of guys playing junior that played senior. who is on 5k per week like. Certainly not colin nish and he will never be good enough to go to a team who can pay this kind of money.

"Played" senior? You mean the guys that dropped out at 23? Or maybe some better players who were getting on a bit? I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that if they could have maintained an SPL career, then they wouldn't have dropped to juniors. I know there are a few players making some decent money at tht level - but not SPL money.

Colin Nish was made an offer from Scunny prior to signing for Hibs, but he turned them down to take a smaller wage from his boyhood heroes. Scunthorpe were looking at him during the transfer window once again.
