[Col2]

His old house in my estate was sold at the end of last year so no obvious ties in Edinburgh.

[hibees707070]

told in the boozer last night that he has signed on a 3 year deal. Will be confirmed at the beginning of next week.

:pray:

[HIBEES 4 LIFE]

Believe it when I see it.....
Also we very rarely offer 3 year deals to anyone

[hibees707070]

yes i'm the same believe it when I see it, bit of a coincidence that he is in edinburgh the day after I was told though. Anyway wouldn't want him gives 100% but just 2 slow!

[Jack]

Are loads of Hibbie players not jet been married or getting married.

Chris Hogg got married recently, Dean Shiels is getting married this weekend/today???

Might explain why there's loads of ex-players being seen.

[JoeT_WasTheBest]

Steven Whittaker is getting married today too I believe, so he may be here for that?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

told in the boozer last night that he has signed on a 3 year deal. Will be confirmed at the beginning of next week.


just that he has signed a three year deal?....no mention of the club that he has signed it with??:rolleyes:

[Godsahibby]

:hilarious

[Banter]

Been doing the rounds then as I saw him in zara (other overpriced fashion outlets are available) on princess st earlier, looking like a man just out of negotiations - think he must have been looking for a new attire after rodders took the shirt from his back.

[Gus Fring]

I seen him in HMV buying a copy of "Spandau Ballet - Gold" I spoke to him and he said he always gets this song stuck in his head in when he visits edinburgh but can't put his finger on why.

[steakbake]

Please, for the love of god... NOOOOO!!!!!!

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Please, for the love of god... NOOOOO!!!!!!

:agree::agree::agree::agree: with you on that. Great first season full stop.

[bighairyfaeleith]

:greengrin he isnae coming back, he's just up tp make sure the new east is the same height as the other stands. It's a big concern

[1875godsgift]

:greengrin he isnae coming back, he's just up tp make sure the new east is the same height as the other stands. It's a big concern
can he touch the top on his tippy-toes?

[Hibs On Tour]

No idea if true or not but would take him back in a heartbeat. If we got him playing like when he first arrived I'd be a damned happy man.

[monktonharp]

His old house in my estate was sold at the end of last year so no obvious ties in Edinburgh.ooooooer! you live in an estate. what's wrong wi' a guid auld "scheme" likesay?

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Problem is D would we?

Chances are he's simply up here visiting friends or going to a wedding.

He went doon south for family reasons can't see him coming back up here. But we DO need a Rob Jones type of centre half, it just won't be him.

[Long suffering]

I am a bit suprised at people's responses to this. He has been away from us for just a year and people already seem to be forgetting just how good a player he was for us. While he is to a degree a limited player, theres no doubt he excelled for us and quotes like 'he had 1 good season for us' are far off the mark IMO. Obviously he was a goal threat in his first season and he had a decent season but his last year under Mixu he was truelly exceptional for us and looked like he carried us through soo many matches. so to some up it would be great if he came back IMO :wink:

or his final season :wink:

[Golden Bear]

In the very unlikely event that the Big Rab fellah was to return to ER then he would be a better player now that Maka has departed.

I always felt he played his best games when Maka was not in goals.

:wink:

:agree: Imagine how good he'd be with stack giving him instructions, and organizing him from behind?:greengrin

[Hermit Crab]

He was a bomb scare at times just like Bamba is!

[Eaststand]

Big Rob was a very decent player who came into the pro ranks late in his career but was learning all the time and I reckon he was looking like a better than average player when he went south.
FWIW I'd def have him back to be the linch-pin for our defense. BUT........he went down south to let his wife be beside her family and also to get his kids setup at School nearer to their family, so it would take a very big rethink for him to come back to Scotland to play


ps- when he signed for the Scunnies it reminded me of a slogan that used to be on t-shirts a while back...Typhoo Tea used to advertise with a slogan, that they put the T into Britain.
The T-shirt logo was - If Typhoo out the T in Britain, who put the ***** in Scunthorpe :wink:

GGTTH

Know what you mean P but I think we would be able to, no probs. His biggest problem always seemed to be his obvious lack of confidence in Maka. Likewise I cannae see it being anything other than him being up for Whitty's wedding yesterday but you live in hope eh? If you think about it, when was the last time *before* Rob that we had a CH like that? Back when we first started going maybe? Not like we've managed to unearth too many of those wee gems in our time going is it?

Yer right though, in terms of transfers inward - a RJ type who likely isn't RJ has to be our number 1 target - perhaps even 2 of them, plus a RB, maybe a LB too [to let IM get into midfield]

Be nice to see a couple of inwards confirmed before the WC starts so that they can get integrated into the squad well before the preparations start in full for Europe...

[seanraff07]

I would definitely take big Rob back but..

He only left a year ago and doubt he would come back so soon after departing, and despite injury, his club stayed in the Championship when they weren't expected to and i'm sure he's captain now. I don't think he'd return to us after a year away in what was quite a successful season.

[erin go bragh]

ooooooer! you live in an estate. what's wrong wi' a guid auld "scheme" likesay?
take it u have no been watching the scheme on bbc:bitchy:

[seanraff07]

take it u have no been watching the scheme on bbc:bitchy:

But Marvin said he 'couldnae be happier'.:wink:

[.Sean.]

But Marvin said he 'couldnae be happier'.:wink:
Contradicts himself however when he then says he's ''happy as Larry'' and attacks his bird...

Kingston's been on the attack recently too :hmmm:

[tamsonsbairn]

Was in the four in hand on fri night, big rob was in the lounge with a cameraman being filmed for some reason, we all thought it was maybe something to do with the upcoming do in the usher hall, possible no.:bye:

[Captain Trips]

He played in Edinburgh for a while and lived there, perfecly logical for a visit to places perhaps him and his wife enjoyed over a long weekend. Im sure it happens with all players going back to places they played at as enjoyed the city. Add to that the mention of weddings etc.
