"There's no way they will run over the top of us from now on"

Take a bow son!!:thumbsup:

[AlbertK86]

Yep Steele in his voice and eyes just like his performance on the park !

[givescotlandfreedom]

A REAL captain truly worthy of leading Hibernian!

[God Petrie]

He's a legend. I always forget how much I love him until I watch him play.

I haven't had such a man crush on a player since David Murphy.

[#FromTheCapital]

Best captain we've had in a long time

[Wotherspiniesta]

Heroic performance today. Owned Sutton.

The man crush continues

Sorry he's mine.

Sorry, but you don't even have him as your avatar. :cb

:hilarious

[HibeeN]

Anybody catch his wee gesture to the Yams at the end of the game? :greengrin I loved it - leads by example, keeps a cool head throughout the game, doesn't get involved in scuffles, keeps his teammates away from the ref, and at the end turns around to the away end and pats his badge to show them exactly who he plays for.:thumbsup:

[muzzhfc]

Nice to see him pointing to his name at the yams and then not taking it further and thus, avoiding a needless booking. Unlike one captain on the park today

That was class, after the scrape with the Hearts player ? Love the man.

[Matt92]

Outstanding from McPake today.

He is such a hero, he will become a legend.

[Sherlock Jones]

Sorry, but you don't even have him as your avatar. :cb

Where are you, likes? :greengrin

[EdinMike]

I think he has all the characteristics to become the next "Sauzée" I think I have a man crush on him as well !!

Was this the lifting of the shirt at the shoulders or the badge patting at them?

Loved them both and I am proud to say he is our captain.

Also, a big pat on the back to those Hibs fans who turned up today. It was a really disappointing turnout but the fans were exceptional today. Hopefully things are on the up.

GGTTH.

That was class, a bit of what that wee rat Skacel used to do right back at them.

I love McPake, such a committed player, first captain we've had in years that's worthy of the role!

Just watching the replay now and loved the way he rushed to get LG away from the yams after the goal.:aok:

I was concerned about what LG would do if he scored after taking abuse from them, but Captain Fantastic was on the scene at once! :greengrin He really is a captain in every sense of the word, and I think the role he takes in keeping his teammates away from the ref and out of trouble is a really responsible one, and will go a long way in cutting out needless bookings.

Agree about that 100%

Absolutely - can't remember who was 'at it' but he was straight on the scene when there looked like a fight was about to kick off after a bad tackle.
His post match interview was excellent too.
Well done Captain!

[Monts]

Immense

[Sean1875]

The man is everything I would want in a leader, and more. Top man, top player. James McPake :not worth

[Gatecrasher]

Loved his reaction at the end :greengrin

[sauzee6_2]

I loved McPakes comment in his interview....

"There is no way we where going to drop our heads, there is no way that they're going to walk over the top of us from now on" - James McPake

Just what we need from a captain.

[Hibs3-2]

anyone got a link?

[FranckSuzy]

Sorry, but he's mine :love ya!: :not worth

[blaikie]

Haven't had a captain we can depend on since Rob Jones! Keep it up James.

[madabouthibs]

He was going radge at teammates after their goal, like proper radge, something we haven't seen from a captain for years! Passion, coupled with properly channelled radgeness!

[AlbertK86]

Effin marvellous

[hfc rd]

What did he did he do the yams at ft? Never saw it.

I think this is the best move the board has done for a very very long time. Bring him back home permanently. True captain. I think he will become a hibs manager in the future.

He was "immense" as someone said earlier. He's got a certain swagger.

Nae man crush like...

eh :confused: he IS

[coco22]

The guy is a rock. Delighted we got him back and have stated on other threads that, despite other areas needing strengthened, recapturing Mcpake was a massive priority. A potential legend

Slapped the badge on his chest. Was standing near the centre circle at the time

[hfc rd]

Oops. I meant to say brought him back.

[bingo70]

I love him.

[Smiggy 7-0]

MOM yet again
:not worth

[ALF TUPPER]

Applauded and smiled up to the support in FF stand then patted his heart.

Nice one James

[basehibby]

If Fenlon makes a better signing for Hibs he'll be doing well - has taken on the mantle of captain and given it the dignity it deserves through a series of unswervingly commited and talented performances - we had a lot of good performances today but McPake's was the rock on which the rest of them were built. The great thing is - that just seems to be the way he is!

Spot on........a true Hibernian captain and legend in the making

[Borderhibbie76]

Seriously luv our captain, a class act who seems to genuinely love hibs and us fans! So hope today is turning point!!! And thank **** we have James mcpake!!

[matty_f]

McPake is what we have been crying out for for years. When you chuck in some other older heads in the other areas of the pitch you see the difference in the team.

It must be fantastic playing alongside someone so committed and he is the best possible person I can think of to captain our club.

Man crush ahoy!

[cocopops1875]

I don't know if anyone else noticed (just watched the sky recording) at the handshake line captain yam walked up 1st McPake stuck out his hand but looked away (or said something or gave his hand a squeeze) this annoyed the horrid yam somewhat :-) good stuff

[Franck Stanton]

The man truly is the complete footballer. We now have the makings of a half-decent side with a strong spine -

Williams ----- McPake------Deegan-----Kuqi [spelling? if signed] and with players alongside them [ hanlon - Cairney - Griffiths], suddenly it has gone from "doom and gloom" and" Fenlon must go" to, wait a minute, we could be top 6 minimum, possibly even top 4 challenging for Europe . Now I know it is early doors but the signs are there. just have a wee bit faith lads/lassies. Onwards and upwards. GGTTH

[leggeto]

thou shall not pass James mcpake

[TrinityHibs]

McPake was outstanding. He owned Sutton yesterday.

[WeAreHibs]

Anyone got a link to the interview?

[The Voice Of Reason]

Well played Jimbo! Please stay fit !

Also worth mentioning his attacking qualities - he was a big threat at corners and throw ins to their box.

Keep up the good work skipper !

[Aldo]

Anyone got a link to the interview?

Phone playing up but if you google ESPN James McPake you'll find it there. Sorry cant forward the link.

It's superb to have someone with his passion & commitment, well played James. :thumbsup:

O Captain ! My Captain !

[Seany HFC 7-0]

The man is a fantastic captain! :scarf: Love how on twitter he always follows up whatever he says with 'GGTTH' at the end!:thumbsup:

Great to see them both gutted for the right reasons this time.

McPake a natural leader and LG a natural scorer - both will be big players for us this season :aok:

[Tha Cabbage Kid]

love it!! interview was great!

[JohnStephens91]

An actual post on Brokeback:


deluded hibee mate thought mcpake was man of the match. I didn't see him winning a header all game.

What game was he watching? McPake won about 95% of his headers and was effective in the air and almost scored with two headers. He was probably too busy wondering if the Yam party had shown up.

[Teo10]

Just a wee hint in the interview that the Templeton incident should be reviewed there :wink:

Delighted to see them mention the final aswell actually, they dont shy away from it, they have put it past them and ready to move on. HOW IT SHOULD BE!:hibees

Really? Well that just proves that the yam fuds don't have the mental capacity to watch a game for more than 5 minutes. He was probably watching spongebob square pants cartoons on his phone.....

Stop it im filling up.......Luv it

[Aubenas]

Also most impressed on the flight from Brussels to Berlin - he sat next to Sparky! And also had a quiet walk up and down the plane cabin checking the players were all ok and having the odd word. Real leadership stuff!

Thanks for that, hadn't seen it, luv the attitude and the message going out there.

[Heisenberg]

Some Jambos feel the need to belittle and talk down Mcpake because he's actually turned out to be a good player for us and is the leader we've been missing for ages. Totally dominated Sutton yesterday and didnt put a foot wrong. Stood up to every one of them on the pitch and even got their captain telt during the handshake pre kick off. Zaliukas was rattled before the game even started.

[matty_f]

The interview was first class. That's why he is our captain. I think we finally have someone in the team that kids will want to be when they're playing footy with their pals. Not had that in a long time.

Sounds like that jambo in-bred should only pay half-price to get into the game. After all he only watches one team play.

Zaliukas is a fud. James is just the man. i'd have him over any ****bo. oh and i forgot, **** the hearts

Bang on and to my cost, the wee man wants his name and number on his new shirt.

[SaulGoodman]

How does he make that accent sound so good? :love ya!:

[Billy Whizz]

Get him wrapped up on cotton wool after his game with N.Ireland on Wednesday night

[weecounty hibby]

He was immense yesterday. Did everything you could ask of a captain. Leads by example in words and deeds. Hope he stays fit and stays around ER for a long time to come.

[Glory Lurker]

James McPake can slam a revolving door....

James McPake speaks fluent Chinese. In French....

So we are definitely letting him off with doing "the twirly" with his scarf when they did the lap of honour after the DAFC game? (come on, this thread has no bitterness in it at all, what's happened to us?:greengrin)

[DAVE1875]

Seen the news earlier: "The search for John Sutton, who disappeared during the Edinburgh Derby over the weekend, continues. Police have reason to believe that he is still in James McPake's back pocket."

Silly I know ;)

[Pedantic_Hibee]

What happened with McPake and Zaliukas pre-match? I missed it.

[AlbertK86]
