Scott Robertson

[Hibeesmad]

In talks with Falkirk apparently

[Pretty Boy]

If him going meant we could bring another in (Pattison?) I'd be delighted.

[Allan45]

Glad to see him go to be honest...

[Mr White]

Probably best for us and him but I'll be disappointed in the sense that I expected a lot more from him. Can't fault him for effort but often poor passing and stupid fouls.

[Aldo]

I'd be happier if he took Craig with him.

[TheFamous1875]

Got his move down South under Houston, so you can see the connection. Would prefer to keep Robertson over Craig though as the latter never shows what he's capable of. At least Robertson provides energy and drive.

[Scottie]

Great news if true

Hopefully can take Liam Craig with him for the ride :aok:

[Billychaotic182]

Would be disappointed to see him go as I think he is a good player

[Bleeds green]

Would be disappointed he's being held back by youngsters and Craig almost as if he tries too hard

Makes no sense to me. Why would we strengthen one our main rivals?

ok he hasn't started the season great however there is definitely a player in there.

[Big Ed]

I've heard Falkirk are speaking to Scott Robinson of Hearts...

Mix up?

[Borderhibbie76]

I assume we are signing someone else then as this leaves the squad even more threadbare??

[mentalhibee]

Hope this is true!

[Hibeesmad]

I heard that they are in talks with both

[Greenblood70]

Would prefer to see the back of Craig tbh, Robertson ain't much cop either, he's marginally less ***** tho.

I've a similar disposition to yoursel'. I though it was a very good piece of business by Fenlon, bringing him here. Then again, I've expected a lot more from my football club as whole for most of my life and I've scarcely seen us show our true potential, if ever at all.

Either way, whatever happens, I hope it benefits our club.

[southsider]

Me too. We need some steel in the middle of the park. A Desy Bremner type would be great.

My thoughts exactly.
Mind you, we've plenty of time to look for a replacement :rolleyes:

Strenghten?

He spent his 1st 6 months at Hibs trying to find something resembling fitness. Started last season with some spectaculatly average performances, got injured then spent the last few games trying to regain fitness again.

[cabbage_88]

Would MUCH rather Craig went. As long as he's here, he's going to be captain and he is anything but a captain - its as if he's playing hide and seek most weeks except he never seeks.

Not saying Robertson is much better but would much prefer Craig to leave.

[DC_Hibs]

Strengthen????

I've been waiting for him to show an ounce of footballing ability since he joined and there's been absolutely no sign of that.

Good energy though!

I have no idea how he supposedly looked good at United and got a move to the championship as he has done nowt for us other than be a major part of a relegation squad and been part of an experienced midfield second best to the kids that the Saviles played last season.

Cheerio and shame his sidekick isn't going with him.........

[SMAXXA]

Doesnt really mate, Craig, Stanton, Allan, Dylan, Lewis, handling, Kennedy, Harris all midfielders don't think it will affect us.

[HFC 0-7]

We need to be adding to such a small squad, not replacing or reducing!

[woodyhfc4892]

Robertson being injured last season along with Hanlon was one of the reasons we went down! Great energy and gets stuck in unlike the rest

[Borderhibbie76]

Is that your way of telling us no more signings smax?

I would be over the moon if this happened. Please Please Please

[BSEJVT]

Robertson is a pitiful player made to look better than he is by the fact that Craig is ten times worse.

I said him just said Dylan as couldn't be bothered toying his surname :greengrin

[Aldo]

Would be the best bit of business we could do this window?? Well.......

[lucky]

He runs about a lot but does nothing with the ball. Won't be a big miss

[stantonhibby]

So you did. Sorry!

[#2 Double Tap]

apart from maybe allen, he is still the best cm at the club.

edit. much rather robertson than craig playing in my cm. its about what we have, and he is the best of what we have :)

[.Sean.]

Bothered, he can take Captain Fantastic with him anaw.

[AlbertK86]

Bothered, he can take Captain Fantastic with him anaw.

Would keep Robertson ahead of Craig but more than happy if both got punted

[3pm]

Gutted Robertson is leaving.

[basehibby]

Not a good move IMO - provides energy allied with decent footballing ability as well as much needed experience to our midfield - ok he got sent off vs the Yams but a net contributor over the piece IMO who's injury coincided with the start of our slide last season - also about the only player I'd call a box to box midfielder that we have at the moment.

[The Leith Dutch]

Puts himself about in midfield and at least shows a bit of heart - I felt we missed him when he was injured last season.

Certainly not where I'd look to start cutting an already limited squad - not the greatest ball winner but far more capable of tackling and gaining possession than most of the rest of our midfield.

[ekhibee]

I find it hard to believe Hibs will let him go unless they've got a ready made replacement, the squad's small enough as it is. Where does this Falkirk rumour come from? It's not on BBC Sportsound website or Sky.

[leggeto]

If he was playing in my back garden I'd shut the curtains

[Radium]

Robertson or Robinson?

[Weststandwanab]

That is a ****ing stupid idea

[adhibs]

watching people play football on their own generally isnt much fun

[Hibstrooper]

Strengthen..

Yip strenghten. Falkirk must feel they need to add a midfielder to their squad, despite what you think of Robertson Falkirk must rate him - remember they've got James McDonagh too so they will know what they are getting.

[PPZPOL]

Pattison and Mcgeough :wink:

[madhibee_again]

Deal stalled according to Jamie Borthwick on twitter.

[Billy Whizz]

Craig gets pelters, but Robertson is ok?

[easty]

Nae you wouldnae. You'd be like "what the **** is he doing playing football in my garden? That's just weird". Then you'd video him on your phone. Make it a Vine. And post it on here.

[Ronniekirk]

I'd be happier if he took Craig with him.
Now there a Surprise Aldo :wink:

[IanM]

@Kenny_Millar: No truth in talk of Scott Robertson going from Hibs to Falkirk.

I very much enjoyed this comment

[macd123]

I just can't comprehend why we are keeping craig and robertson as our defensive mid options. It will probably destroy them. They can't do it. They are going to get abused and booed till their confidence is shattered until they are eventually benched and replaced - probably by a teenager.

[monktonharp]

Robertson being injured last season along with Hanlon was one of the reasons we went down! Great energy and gets stuck in unlike the restthe other reason, was that we kept playing CRAIG.

[AgentDaleCooper]

The depressing thing is that they've both persormed very well in seasons not long passed for other clubs. 'The hibs effect'.

Both, again surprised me with their respective gutsy performance(s) at the recent Derby, but as I thought might happen, both somehow contrived to change what could have been good performances into absolute disasters from both of them, and heaped more misery onto the fans. sick of the sight of them both

Now for Stevenson, Craig and Heff these guys need to move on as they give the team nothing. Part of the team that went down and will maybe free up some money.

Our stats since they became the central midfield pairing must be something like won 4, drawn 6, lost 30.

[brog]

This thread should go to the Vault, it's a classic Hibs Net thread. Falkirk talk to Scott Robinson & David Smith of Yams, both of whom have been told they can go & they, Falkirk, sign Smith. Meanwhile we have a 3 page thread debating the merits of one of our players, Scott Robertson, who AFAIK, was never at any time the subject of a move from us to Falkirk. Another Net Fact strangled at birth!

Someone mentioned the mistake about 3 pages ago but the blind posters keep commenting about Robertson, for me I like him, he has energy, is a natural box 2 box which we don't haveand will get stuck in and show a bit of heart at least unlike like captain courageous.

[flash]

To be fair at least the confusion has given people the chance to give another one of our players a good kicking so it's not all bad. If i hated everything to do with Hibs i would stop posting here and stop going to the games.

As it is i am angry with the owner and can't stand the chairman but that's not enough to make me throw a hissy fit, send my season ticket back (if i had one in the first place) and generally behave like a 5 year old.

Still each to their own.

Difficult to say without further info.

What do you rate him at? Darts, Cooking

What are you comparing him against? Chickens, Mice. under 7's ( apologies to any under 7's)

What would you say were the qualities he currently brings to this Hibs team?

How would you describe the mental fortitude he has shown?

How would you rate his leadership qualities?

How would you rate his tackling, Ball retention, passing, shooting, penalty taking?

How would you rate his ability to take the game by the scruff of the neck, to inspire those around him by his actions and words?

In the pantheon of great Hibs players where would you rate him?

Stevenson? behave yourself

Of all the players to blame for last years shambles, Stevenson was one of the few that got pass marks but certain people have agendas against certain players.

[Johnny_hfc]

Stevenson? behave yourself

He's simply not good enough; he has a good engine but for a full back his passing, crossing and positional awareness is poor and we need more quality there.

With regards to Robertson, his fitness is shocking for a professional; he can't last more than 60 minutes.

[1987kev]

Really? The guy plays left back but couldn't keep mcgriven out the team, he plays left mid but couldn't keep Craig out the team, prob 2 out of 3 worst players last season and he couldn't hold down a place in the team every week. I honest don't see why people on here think Stevenson is good enough for us.

There we have it again, he's not a full back, he's a CM/LM, why can't we just play him in his natural position, the position where he was MOM at a cup final.

As for Robertson, I agree completely about his fitnass and stamina, very poor.

Was this under Fenlon who was playing Craig in a more natural position on the left and was scoring goals and looking fairly good at first. :rolleyes:

Lewis career wi hibs since the cup final has went like hibs doon hill granted in the cup final he was amazing but that was 2007 he's not progress. He should really b the engine in midfield and the club captain not a squad player.

Lewis was ok in the Cup Final but amazing? Have a word and as for man of the match, that was John Collins doing a wee bit of man management, Jones, Fletcher and Benjelloun were streets ahead to name but three. He is a mediocre journeyman who never, ever fails to give 100% every time he puts on a Hibs strip and is definitely better when pushed forward into midfield rather than left back. But when all is said and done, is he a very good footballer, sadly no

Can't actually remember to be honest. What I do remember though, is sitting in the North stand that day and absolutely raving about his performance. We dominated a decent Killie side and Lewis was at the centre of everything. The chat on the way home was about how good he was and how he could be a ready made replacement for Scott Brown when he moved on. Sadly he's not kicked on like we all hoped. More down to a ridiculous number of manager and positional changes than Lewis' efforts.

As some in the management hierarchy think Lewis is clearly good enough (and presumably cheap enough) he is a prime example of our decline

I'm with you. Craig and Robertson get a hell of a bashing. And most of it is deserved. But does Stevenson offer us any more than them? I don't think he does. He gets away with it because he cares, tries etc. I think The likes of Craig and Robertson care. It's just their lack of football ability lets them down. Same as Stevenson.

To be fair, he was coming on to the ball and running one on one with Livi's full back during that first half....

... he turned back and passed it back to the half way line.

Booth's got his own limitations, but Kennedy would likely never link up with Stevenson the way he did against Falkirk with Booth. Stevenson should really be playing Craig's role, if anywhere.

Liam Craig has put in consistent, awful performances for Hibs since Fenlon left. As a captain he hides, gives the side no motivation and rarely ever finds a Hibs player with a pass.

The game against Dundee United at Easter Road (1-3) was one example of the worst performance from a Hibs player or professional footballer I had ever seen.

We all know he can play better, but he just doesn't. He should have been punted.
