Also going by Insall's Twitter account, someone posted it on another thread.

[wick hibby]

Terrible thread title by the way WH
Sorry I will try to be better next
time lol lol

[wick hibby]

Plus on his profile is says he is coming to hibs

[Brummie_Hibs]

Google his name. News stories everywhere about it.

Edit - old stories though

[hibs#1]

Seen on sky sports Swansea have signed bottia boa from Falkirk

[CB_NO3]

A non league striker who scored a lot of goals. Hopefully he is a hidden gem.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

If we sign him i hope he stays fit. ....we don't want to add insall to injury

[bill the hibby]

If we sign him i hope he stays fit. ....we don't want to add insall to injury

Hahaha. Like it

[high bee]

If we sign him i hope he stays fit. ....we don't want to add insall to injury

Let's hope he's got cruise control, wouldn't want him to do his achilles in on that long drive.

[JimBHibees]

Oh dear. :greengrin

[Dunbar Hibee]

Stourbridge FC twitter page don't seem to think so.

[SquashedFrogg]

:top marks

In all seriousness though. I'm not adverse taking a wee punt on these kind of lads. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

[Gatecrasher]

Strange that they actually bother to respond to the rumours from fans sites, where most rumours are total pish.

[brassmonkeybar]

Seems players announce when they have signed on their social media before the club do.

if this is the case im sure mcgeouch will have it on his twitter account tonite

[CMac1988]

Can we have a new rule that anyone who claims Facebook as a source has to let someone hit them in the face, with a really heavy book?

Amen to that . p,,,,s me off big time !
By the way , the Falkirk lad seems to have picked himself a decent contract !!:thumbsup:

[Edinburgh Green]

I've never known us to get so worked up over a player who will probably spend all season in the development team

[SquashedFrogg]

I've never known us to get so worked up over a player who will probably spend all season in the development team

And your problem about people being interested about a player signing and playing in our development team is....?

[bingo70]

I've never known us to get so worked up over a player who will probably spend all season in the development team

I'm not sure if that'll be the case, he'll be used to playing against burly old physical centre halfs in non league football, I'm not sure what good it'd do him going back to playing against young laddies again.

Imo he'll be around the fringes of the first team and will initially start off on the bench most weeks but over the course of the season we'll be hoping he starts to make an impact.

[Edinburgh Green]

And your problem about people being interested about a player signing and playing in our development team is....?

Who said I had a problem with it? I've just never seen so many threads and comments on a guy who has played at such a low level.

[SquashedFrogg]

Who said I had a problem with it? I've just never seen so many threads and comments on a guy who has played at such a low level.

Maybe my mistake? It seemed your tone implied a negative slant towards people being interested in him signing. I guess it was the reference to your assumption he would be a development team player.

Must just have been me who misread the tone of your post. Apologies.

[The_Sauz]

Who said I had a problem with it? I've just never seen so many threads and comments on a guy who has played at such a low level.

Ivan Sproule :dunno:

[Waxy]

It's a Roy of the rovers signing.good to see.
At least no one can get on his back and moan at him, should get nothing but encouragement.

[Ozyhibby]

He's 22 so they will be expecting him to make an impact on the first team this season at some point.

[Sir David Gray]

I think you've just confirmed what I thought initially. :agree:

For me there's nothing wrong with having a look, taking a punt at a lad playing at a ''lower level''. It may work out? It may not? What's the harm in trying?

[Iggy Pope]

Who said I had a problem with it? I've just never seen so many threads and comments on a guy who has played at such a low level.

Have you seen many threads or comments of any sort on any guy who has played at such a low level? I think it is uncharted territory. I for one am very interested.

[SquashedFrogg]

He's 22 so they will be expecting him to make an impact on the first team this season at some point.

Why?

I'm keen to know.

Why not next season?

[Waxy]

:faf: I like your optimism there!

:greengrinI know we have the odd screamers in our support, the guys who look like their heads about to spontaniously combust when a pass goes backwards.Surely even they cannot moan at this guy?

[SquashedFrogg]

Have you seen many threads or comments of any sort on any guy who has played at such a low level? I think it is uncharted territory. I for one am very interested.

Wish I had said that. :agree:

The boy will cost next to nothing. People are talking about him. Why not have a little bit of hope that a boy from nowhere makes it into pro football?

People are interested.

[Ozyhibby]

Why?

I'm keen to know.

Why not next season?

Maybe your right, maybe they're signing him for next season or even longer term. Maybe they are thinking 2017/18 season.
IMHO I think they will be looking for him to be playing a part this season though,

[bingo70]

I think you've just confirmed what I thought initially. :agree:

For me there's nothing wrong with having a look, taking a punt at a lad playing at a ''lower level''. It may work out? It may not? What's the harm in trying?

he's clearly too good for that level so how good that standard is isn't really relevant.

[MyJo]

:agree:

there is another thread on the go suggesting we sign a guy who hadn't played 11-a-sides until he signed for dunfermline a year ago.

and as someone else has mentioned already, what level of football was Ivan Sproule playing at at a similar age when we signed him?

[Hibbyradge]

Ian Wright was playing for Greenwich Borough before Palace took him on trial. Just saying.

In my opinion, if Alan Stubbs think Insall's good enough to extend his trial, then that is exciting.

[RedHibby]

Look at Charlie Austin and Danny Ings. It is definitely worth a punt.

[The_Horde]

Considering the calibre of some of the trialists we've had, if stubbs thinks this lads good enough for us then I'll happily believe him.

[bill the hibby]

Take a punt, why not

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Picture of him on his FB wearing his Hibs training top. Lovely comment from some melt underneath it saying 'Fenian club' [emoji57]

He could be a surprise package, the type of signing that will Insall confidence in the fan's

Despite the Stourbridge manager saying the exact opposite (http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/non-league/2015/08/11/stourbridges-jamie-insall-on-verge-of-dream-move/) barely a week ago?

:greengrin

Just checked that out. No' too impressed.

His old man referring to us as a '**** club' and a '**** shirt'.
Bit of a stretch to suggest he doesnt 'know what it (fenian) means', the orange monkey who posted it would appear to be perfectly aware what it means, judging by the 'rule brittania' ***** on his page. Wonder if he'll come up for a visit?

Dont think i've ever disliked a player before they have kicked a ball for us...have to say i'm pretty close this time.
Maybe best he stays with Waterybottom-on-the-mould F.C. or whatever no-mark, one horse, hick town club he's currently at.

Think you should chill out man, bit of an over reaction

[JimBHibees]

Lets hope the kid does well. Someone from non-league football probably has much more to prove than kids who have been at professional clubs for a while. Maybe that hunger can rub off on a few others also. Hope he does well and we you cant have too many players that know where the net is.

Problem is we've not got a good record with these signings, Clayton Donaldson never given a chance and went on to have a cracking little career and is now with Birmingham., Eoin Doyle now playing at Cardiff.

Ivan Sproule.


Thanks for reminding this auld forgetful git :greengrin Yes there is one and I'm pretty sure back in the auld days players were signed from semi pro clubs, just can't remember which ones.

I follow him on Twitter and just checked out his Facebook. There are NO posts saying he's signing on either.

Yeah he's pictured in a Hibs training shirt. At most, that would only suggest what everybody else on here know's on here...that he's been on trial.

[BH Hibs]

Joe Baker Armadale Juniors I think it was.

Yes Armadale Thistle. In fact the Dale used to be a bit of a feeder club for Hibs back in the day. Colin Stein amongst others.

In the transfer thread post#5658 is a screenshot. I based my post on that.

The way i read it is if his 'hardest most emotional goodbye ever been involved in' is just coming here for a weeks trial then imo he wouldnt settle here if he got a 1/2/3 year deal . Not if hes in tears leaving home for a week.

however I'll let others interpret it how they see it

just to add, thats why i see it as he has signed and that imo is him as good as announcing it.

i assume the club were aware of the post and perhaps why its not on his fb when u viewed???

[Waxy]

If he does or has signed,will it be announced anyway? With him coming from a really small team i reckon it'll get mentioned he's signed when DM is announced.

Then again, maybe he is a good Fenian who is happy to join a club with our historically bold Fenian origins?

TBH I just want sectarianism out of football and Scotland.

[brog]

Yes Armadale Thistle. In fact the Dale used to be a bit of a feeder club for Hibs back in the day. Colin Stein amongst others.

Colin Stein definitely came from the Dale, I remember him playing in the public trial, having a blinder & being signed that night. Although Joe Baker was shown as coming from Armadale I think he was actually with us from his early teens & was only farmed out/registered with Armadale. Joe was a 1st team regular from the age of 17 so it's hard to think he could have had much of a Junior career at Armadale.

Definately signed him from Armadale mate. But you are right there was some sort of unofficial reciprocal arrangement back in the day

[Bostonhibby]

Right, right. Good. And you think my post was sectarian? Silly boy.
Not at all.

Difference appreciated it's just that in my experience it tends to be football fans with sectarian leanings, like the hun for example who do tend to use the term fenian in that context.

Not at all.

5 overage can be in the match day squad.

Never saw this lad before, but could he not have an impact like wee Ivan :wink::wink:,
come on as a sub and score a hat trick against the auld hun [ or is my mind playing tricks with me, again:greengrin]

[Brightside]

What I will say is im told he actually signed on Monday..... so again no announcement.

[Lago]

Yep - I don't see him being launched in to the first team tbh.
Sometimes I think we under estimate young players and effectively hold them back, I see West Ham played a 16 year old in a first team game a couple of weeks ago. Not all can handle it mind you.

[JimBHibees]

What I will say if that Ivan had been with us for a few months at that point, and was almost set to go back to Ireland before THAT game.

Was it not the game he scored at Parkhead that kind of turned it around which I am pretty sure was before the hat trick game.

[MrRobot]

What a classless remark.

The whole post is classless. Disliking a young lad who might sign for a team you support 'cause of his dad is honestly utterly ridiculous.

Imagine Messi about to sign for Hibs and his Dad says they are a joke of a low league team :greengrin - Transfer cancelled.

I honestly hope that was poorly executed sarcasm that post, either that or you need to seriuously chill out.

Hopefully all goes well for the boy and he bzngs them in. Gives the boy the platform and we may get a cracking signing. Nothing to lose.

In regards to him liking a comment - I have seen loads of footballers liking comments that insult them. Usually, this is done in a sarcastic manner. Wouldn't read much into it.

[RMQ1967]

What I will say is im told he actually signed on Monday..... so again no announcement.

I wouldn't be surprised if they hold off until after the rangers game to announce any new signings - offset potential bad news from the game on Sunday with good news on Monday.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Was it not the game he scored at Parkhead that kind of turned it around which I am pretty sure was before the hat trick game.

Your memory is correct. He came on in that game with 20 minutes to go. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/4495875.stm

Cant remember if it was before this game, or the closed season just after that he was rumoured to go back to Ireland tho.
