Thats that then. I had hoped he would win a deal down there. Decent standard and could have set him up for one last crack.
Pretty poor of him to just pie training though, surely?

[Bob1875]

He'll no doubt be on the radio next week stating that he can't understand why any club won't take a chance on him.

Yes. Take him over Collins everytime.

This place is getting worse.

Riordan hasn't done anything of note in almost three years, has only scored one goal in those three years and failed to win contracts at a succession of clubs smaller than or playing at a lower level than Hibs. He can't even get a contract by offering to play for free.

Collins has scored one goal in every three games for Hibs this season.

Riordan was brilliant for Hibs, especially in his first spell. However, just like a whole host of other great players for us, his time has been and gone.

Sums it up for me.

Modern day legend, fantastic player and I have some great memories of him.

But if we take away the fact it's Derek Riordan and look at the last 3 years objectively there isn't a Hibs supporter who would want a player who had spent the last 3 years doing what Derek has, or really hasn't been doing.

And the real question is: could any of these elephants do a job for us?

[barcahibs]

A fantastic player who will always be one of my heroes - but whose career will always leave me wondering what could have been. That's not for me to say though, it's not how I hope I'd have done things had I had a tenth of his talent, but maybe Derek is perfectly happy with his choices and how things have turned out. It's his life to lead. Gods know I've done a few things in my life folk would scratch their heads over! :greengrin

His time as a Hibs player (though hopefully not as a Hibby) is over, it's time, IMO, for us as fans to let him go and just enjoy the good memories.

[Seveno]

And the real question is: could any of these elephants do a job for us?

One in goal would be good.

[Bostonhibby]

It depends on whether its an Indian or African elephant.

Come to think of it either would have been able to do a better job of defending against Raith so I say yes.

Are you mad? Surely you've heard the phrase "he's got the touch of an elephant"? I've never seen one play, but obviously someone has, and they must be totally rubbish. Plus they'd ruin the pitch with their big feet and tent-sized droppings. They'd get stuck in the tunnel, knock things off the walls inside the stadium, and it'd cost a fortune for a bus big enough to get them to away games.

Crazy suggestion.

You need to think these things through logically.

An elephant is obviously going to use it's ears as its primary shot-stopping attribute (the trunk is too sensitive).

African elephants have much bigger ears than Indian elephants.

You're going to really struggle to get goalie's gloves big enough to fit an African elephant's ears (especially if Petrie's paying for them).

Indian elephants all the way.

I think I see where you are coming from on the choice, African elephants are apparently the more aggressive and we are soft as ****** so maybe we should get one of each?

Knowing Rod, I think the best we can expect is an armadillo, or maybe a sloth or two on loan.

Kinda off-topic but, does anyone know what happened to 'Derek Riordan The Goals' video on youtube which had the song "Don't stop me now" by Queen in it? Has it been taken down? Loved watching it, not seen it for ages and can never find it.

Now that we're getting an Indian Elephant as a Goalie (apparently), maybe we could come up with some other animals that would be suitable for various positions in the team.


With our current lack of pace, it's got to be two Cheetahs for the left and right wings.

My springer spaniel could do a job on the wing if either of the cheetahs have any problems getting work permits. She's lightening quick, tenacious, will run all day and can comfortably use all 4 feet. She's pretty thick skinned too so the boo boys won't get her down.

[Ronniekirk]

League One is beyond his capabilities anyway.

Let's face it if he couldn't get fit in the time he was with Alloa then he clearly can't be bothered now . If he just wanted to play he would have buckled down but when he starts not turning up for training ar Morton and Carlisle and goodness where else you wonder where his heads at .Think now that will be it no one else will give him an opportunity..Will never forget that Exocet against Hear7s when it just seemed to get faster and faster as it rocketed into the top right hand corner and his slight frame made you wonder how he could do that..:rolleyes:

If deek was fit and given a chance he would bang goals in right left and centre..... That is a fact. ...... From what I've heard he has a rotten attitude towards training and shows no interest what so ever, constantly moans and complains and prefers just to be on his own firing shots at goal all day......

I'm pretty sure Budgie (our Budgie that is) will have a set of elephant ear gloves in his collection of dodgy sports gear somewhere.

When does the elephant sign for Hibs and will Petrie be parading him on the pitch before today's game? Also, did the two Cheetahs get their work permits or will we have to take the back up Springer Spaniels?



On the subject of animals playing for football clubs, I do believe Hearts have a Cockortoo.
