Who were the players that went behind Collins back to the Chairman?

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Anyone know who it was? I was watching a lot of videos on YouTube last night of John Collins interviews when he was here and one came up about players going behind his back to speak to the chairman. I mean, I know it happened but I was pretty young at the time and didn't understand it all. So who were they and why? How did you feel when you found out?

Heres a link to the video I watched http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t6yCjcOmsc4#

Kenny McIntyre and Michael Stewart should do a radio show with that as the topic. It is coming up to the 7th anniversary and hasn't been referenced for at least two months.

In all seriousness , though this has been done to death many time on here and on the radio, I still feel it is a story where the whole truth has never been told.

I'm sure a Johnny Collins book will cover his side in a chapter one day and Michael Stewart and Kevin Thomson will have theirs ghost written by Kenny McIntyre and Keith Jackson respectively.

He's not a yam, and he's not been posting on here for long so I'm sure he didn't realise it's been 'done to death'

I'm sure he'll be more careful next time he asks a question on this welcoming site :rolleyes:

Doubt it. Six pack buddies.

Collins was that vain that he actually went behind his own back and complained to Petrie about himself.

I very much doubt he will be.

It happened seven years ago. Hibby or not, its like asking what the **** went right in 1973 when we were relegated in 1980. But backwards.

[Weststandwanab]

Haha. Most cringe inducing interview ever. Did Mr Brown understand the question ?


What does that mean...? Almost 2,000 posts and you dinae ken what that means !

I thought it was the opposite? He was definitely jc's scapegoat, but I think rumours were he wasn't that involved.

Think lewis and kevin mccann were about the only two who didn't go to the meeting. Such a waste the end of that season.

Just to clarify I'm certain you're not a 'yam' and I certainly don't want you launched! :greengrin:

In all seriousness, it really does let this board and some of it's insightful and amiable posters down when people come in giving people grief. We're all here for the exact same reason, let's not forget that.

I'm also sure he had an impeccable relationship with the two Moroccan boys, usually speaking to them in French, which if true could've been alienating to the other players.

Actually, that rings a bell. So everyone but stevenson, mccann, benji and zouma.

Could have been a cup double that season. From the high of the CIS win, to the low of the Dunfermline semi final replay defeat, all in around 4/5 weeks.
Only Hibs!

I'm trying to remember just how our season crumbled after the cup. Apart from the 'bust up' I think there were a lot of injuries? I can't quite remember.

Big Jonesy was put in a terrible position, he felt he had to represent the players as the captain of the football club but had no issues with Collins at all. Rod only agreed to the meeting out of professional courtesy and quickly told them that Collins was the main man, if they didnae like it then tough titties. Thats about as much as I know.

[TheFamous1875]

What I would like to know is what the players' 'issues' were exactly? I've only heard the six-pack story...

Personality clashes after players contract talks not being pursued to JC's liking, an early 'to your rooms' curfew and no alcohol on a training camp (which some ignored) - these were the reasons I heard. Couple of squabbles between a couple of players at training and also JC showing a couple up at training skill wise and being perceived as 'ripping the pash' - which lets face it, he probably did because he was still decent !

Perhaps not the most skilful team we've seen, but he had us the fittest I've seen in decades.

7 years ago..time to move on from this saga..we have more important things to be concerned about I.e our lowly position in the league,a season with no highlights and the fact that the club keeps coming up with one PR disaster after another on what seems like a weekly basis!..only one thing will bring the fans back..EXCITING football!..

Starting Damon Gray in the semi final replay ahead of Steven Fletcher probably didnt help. One of them went on to become a 12 million pound Scottish International...the other is now playing for Kelty Hearts.

Never forget the feeling when Hogg slid in on the Dunfermline winger and Craig thomson gleefully pointed to the spot.....one of the most sinking feelings ever watching Hibs.

Madness that the game wasnt played at Tynecastle either.

What are the PR disasters that seem to occur on what seems like a weekly basis?

He started Damon Gray ahead of Steven Fletcher in the replay. That still annoys me. Weren't than many injuries, though he'd started to include guys like Chisholm and Lynch.

Season died a death after the Hearts game at Easter Road. Always wonder what eveb a point there would have led to. Instead it just kicked in a massive hangover.

[Peevemor]

The rot started to set in well before the final which was a freak result IMO.

Collins and his atrocious signings and crap management kicked off the chain of events that has resulted in 7 years of mediocrity.
