Don't think they do medicals at MP.

[HibbyAndy]

Wether is true or not ive also heard GOC at MP right now.

[HH81]

How can you have a medical if your injuired? :confused:

[BigBamba]

Wether is true or not ive also heard GOC at MP right now.

Heard the exact same mate.

[down-the-slope]

How can you have a medical if your 2 stone over weight and expect to pass? :confused:

[oregonhibby]

Heard different

[muirhousehibby]

Rumour I have heard was garry o'connor to gers for cash + david weir. Time will tell if its pish or not lol

[Cropley10]

Heard the exact same mate.

Yep just got a text now saying he's at MP.

[Cropley10]

Heard different

What have you heard?

[Thief]

Apparently been reported on radio Clyde. At MP now :-(

[ScottB]

They are welcome to him frankly, been mince for weeks, looks slow and unfit, head clearly elsewhere, obviously not a jot of respect for the club that rescued his career and has stood by him despite his drug and insurance fraud charges if he is going to bolt for the first club that makes eyes at him.

If Rangers are stupid enough to hand out what little cash they have left for a guy that has a very really chance of serious jail time, more fool them.

That may or may not be pish, but if true I don't think that would be that bad a deal for us. We all knw GOC was here for one season at most and if Weir can steady the defence I think Doyle can bag some goals. Plus cah as well, not a bad deal IMHO. Tin hat firmly on!

[Albion Hibs]

I would have thought the club physio and doctor would have been away with the team so seems a little tight for time for getting back from Arbroath.

I guess however it is possible, so long as we get a few quid for him then I am fine with it. He has scored a few goals, may have some troubling times ahead and has been off the boil in a big way recently. I am sure financially it is far more attractive to him to be playing for them, and I guess there are plenty of other benefits that come with it, so I would not be standing in his way.

All the best if you are off.

[brog]

Is Liam Miller with him? Personally I think this is keek but if he is there then a fee must have been agreed. As Huns want Sandaza on a pre contract why would they pay dosh for GOC? We'll see, this is the silly season.

[Hal Jordan]

Davie Weir?
Christ, that'll raise the average age of the team to 57 in one fell swoop. :wink:

[soupy]

Rumour I have heard was garry o'connor to gers for cash + david weir. Time will tell if its pish or not lol

I don't think David weir will be anywhere near hibs. My understanding is BB has already spoke to him and he said thanks but no thanks.

[Northernhibee]

Was angry at Gaz when I heard this rumour a while back as I'd have liked him to show some loyalty to the Hibees after we'd stood by him, but y'know, all the best.

Davie Weir I'd take in the team, he wouldn't be in my starting 11 but all of his experience can only be good for the likes of Hanlon, Stephens, Booth and the other youngsters in the back four, they need to learn quickly if we are to turn this season around.

[Baldy Foghorn]

IF GOC does go, I wonder if Rod will start greeting, just like he did at AGM, when he said GOC was part of the family:rolleyes:

In todays world?


Behave, GOC owes Hibernian nothing.

[Billy Whizz]

Any foundation to this story?

[Baldy Foghorn]

Behave, GOC owes Hibernian nothing.

Even after Hibs taking a gamble on him, with his off the field antics (drug possession arrest and potential fraud case)?

[matty_f]

I hope this isn't true. Kinda resigned to losing Garry anyway, however I'd much rather our best players stayed as long as possible.

Well, Hanlon`s had plenty of time to learn already, but looks to me that he`s learned nothing. Same old mistakes he makes week in, week out.

[HibbyAndy]

Even after Hibs taking a gamble on him, with his off the field antics (drug possession arrest and potential fraud case)?



Hibs werent the only team in for him..GOC had at least 3 other clubs to choose from so if he didnt sign for us he would have got another club.

He did us a wee turn and bagged us 10 goals or so.


So yes, GOC owes us not a jot.

[smurf]

Good source on the Bounce confirming this. No surprise...

[Iggy Pope]

I hope this isn't true. Kinda resigned to losing Garry anyway, however I'd much rather our best players stayed as long as possible.

Never mind, we'll still have big Sean.....imagine that alongside Weir. Gawd help us.

[HibbyAndy]

Well according to most on here he was a fat lazy bassa anyway right so no great loss?


Aye exactly.

Didn't realise other Clubs were after him at the time he was signed.......

[brog]

Here we go again, supporting or castigating a player based on an unsubstantiated rumour! Have we learned nothing from the Liam Miller fiasco? As I said earlier it does not seem logical that GOC would be at MP on a day when Rangers were playing away & a transfer fee would have had to have been agreed in advance - when would that have happened?. Also St J have acknowledged that Huns want Sandanza on a pre-contract, if they did go for GOC surely they would do the same?
Not to say GOC won't end up there but why the rush on a Sunday night?

[Baldy Foghorn]

Well according to most on here he was a fat lazy bassa anyway right so no great loss?


Aye exactly.

He was never the most mobile player I've ever seen......His recent form has been poor, something to do with his toe injury......At least Griffiths and Doyle are mobile........

[matty_f]

Never mind, we'll still have big Sean.....imagine that alongside Weir. Gawd help us.

Frightening.:agree:

[weonlywon6-2]

O`Connor out , deeks in :greengrin

[HibbyAndy]

Now why on earth would we want a proven spl goalscorer? We hound players away on here dontcha know.

[Feed McGraw]

Never mind, we'll still have big Sean.....imagine that alongside Weir. Gawd help us.

Could not possibly be anymore frightening than what we have at present.

[hibsbollah]

Its worked out well for all concerned. He's got us the goals we needed, he got a chance to resurrect his career. I'd rather he wasnt going to them :spider: but....Good luck Garry.

[scuttle]

Couldnae stay on his feet during recent games,booked a few times for diving ,so would be well suited to the huns for getting them even more penalties at Ibrox. Would like to keep him though

[weonlywon6-2]

exactly:greengrin

[Barney McGrew]

If true it's hardly a surprise.

It's not as if he's been keeping quiet about potentially going there.

[Aldo]

If he goes he goes and we get a few bob...hopefully to help fund PF in the TW.

If he stays he stays. Apparantly out for next 4 or so weeks.

Cash in and hopefully a few more faces in. Ie a half decent CH.

That ma for the goals GOC

[blackpoolhibs]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FKz-p11Qlo


If this is true, the above is 100% bull****.

[Aldo]

Meant to say that it would be Hibs letting him go and not him deciding. I am also sure a replacement of sorts has been lined up (maybe even Doyle was).

Exactly

[Burgh Hibby]

If he wants to go then let him.

We are in for a hell of a survival fight this year and we need players committed to the cause not wage thiefs.

:grr::grr::brickwall:brickwall

[Jones28]

Christ knows what he's doing, never know these days with transfers, 2 days of rumours and p!sh flying about before clubs/players confirm anything!

[Eyrie]

He's going to leave for nothing at the end of the season, so at least this gets us a small fee. It also creates room in the wages budget for Fenlon to bring someone else in.

As regards wishing him luck, if he was going anywhere other than the SPL I'd do so gladly.

[HFC 0-7]

Not too bothered by him going to be honest (if this rumour is true) as I have resigned myself to it happening for a while. With us being quite thin on the ground for strikers I would like us to be bringing players in before letting them go. Wouldnt like us to let players go now and replace them at the end of the transfer window. We have a few important games coming up.

[SteveHFC]

If O'Connor does go. He might get back in the Scotland squad now.

[Scouse Hibee]

Who gives a toss if we get a fee if he goes now, I would much rather see him remain at the club until the end of the season we need players of the quality of O'Connor at Hibs for as long as possible.

[Scouse Hibee]

If he wants to go then let him.

We are in for a hell of a survival fight this year and we need players committed to the cause not wage thiefs.

:grr::grr::brickwall:brickwall


Aye right then!

[Ozyhibby]

Can't understand people on here criticising Davies Weir. In 5 years time he will still be 10 times as good as any of our current defence.

[SteveHFC]

What's your point ?

If he does not want to stay and wear the green and go and play in front of bigots every week then he can GTF.

[Scouse Hibee]

He has earned his wages so far , i am saying I only want players committed to Hibs , sorry if it's difficult for you to understand.

[Scouse Hibee]

Big difference in that and you calling him a wage thief is it not. No need to apologise I often find folk post drivel on here and then have to backtrack..........even me sometimes so it's not just you!

don't think there will be any fee - if he goes anywhere in January. And the wages GOC is being paid won't get us much.

[Eyrie]

There would have to be a fee if we're to lose him 6 months early, although it won't be a large one. Bit surprised though if he isn't one of our higher earners and that would make it better to keep him.

If Garry would stop telling anyone who will listen he's off to the huns, maybe the rumours would stop? Unsubstantiated, i dont think so this time?

Of course it was unsubstantiated, he wasn't at MP having a medical & that was all I was commenting on. As I said earlier it may be he'll end up at Huns but the rumours yesterday were ludicrous.

[blackpoolhibs]

[/B]Of course it was unsubstantiated, he wasn't at MP having a medical & that was all I was commenting on. As I said earlier it may be he'll end up at Huns but the rumours yesterday were ludicrous.

He has been telling everyone who will listen he's off to the huns. Fenlon even mentioned it. Nothing unsubstantiated in that. :confused:

The OP started the thread by saying he had heard GOC was at MP having a medical. Very quickly we had others saying they had received texts saying the same. Then we had people attacking GOC saying he was rubbish & a wage thief amongst other things. I'm sure you'll agree the rumour about him being at MP was completely unsubstantiated ( was in fact wrong ) & that & the OTT reactions to that rumour were all I was commenting on.
PS, was Fenlon's comment not only that there had been no contact whatsoever from any club, including Rangers?

[Bostonhibby]

:confused: He was at MP yesterday having a medical, no?

Aye, right enough, the medical takes 20 minutes but he has to pass a 48 hour examination by the brotherhood to see if he is "one of them" or not. He is having his tattoos officially validated as not of the Kaflik type then its just the usual question and answer session about the all important Bottle of the Boing and whether he likes camp looking wigged guys on horses or not, after that its just the back to back singing of 30 SFA approved non sectarian songs and he is in.

Dont see the jail thing as being a problem as there's plenty of them in there to look out for him.:wink:

Various reasons. I'd wager he made enough cash in Moscow to purchase a house in london if that's where he's going...I'd also wager he will have more money coming in if he goes there for a job and starts playing for someone = more money to buy house???? Unless he's going to live in a travel lodge or sleep in a box on Piccadilly circus?

Just been on sky sports that Rangers,Millwall and Charlton all interested in Garry O'Connor.

[Bostonhibby]

Devout Huns NEVER eat potatoes. FACT.

it's chips, but I doubt your average hun knows they come from potatoes.

Since all the cooking programmes started appearing on telly some of them have gone and got a chip pan and instruction manual - always liked to have a bit of class - F all else in the kitchen mind, and most of them think its a hat.

[NotoriousLor]

Or maybe, like some of us, he's sick of hearing about it and is just agreeing to the questions asked so he can get out the shop and stop getting asked about his move to the hun.

[totalfootball]

I love Garry O as a player, when hes at it but until he actually leaves I'll pay no attention to gossip from things hes allegedly said. He told my old boy at a Hibs poty doo about 8 or 9 yrs ago when he just broke onto the scene that he was away to Rangers in the summer....some time on hes still saying it..... Hope he stays and gets back to top form with us!
