He's just garbage. Possibly the worst player to bring on when we are trying to keel the ball out of our half. He's very slow, and can't tackle to save his life. I expected us actually to get beat when he came on.

[Del Boy]

Crap signing. There was a reason Dundee didn't want him - he's finished.

[hibee]

Can't run, can't get near anyone to tackle if they run away.

Agree, wrong player to bring on.

[keep the faith]

**** Kevin Thomson.

Wow. Stay classy.

I assumed he was brought in to be on the coaching staff. He's a has-been now and should not even be on the bench. All he did today was give away 2 fouls. Hopeless.

He left a good contract at Dundee to come to us on nearly half of what he was on. He's a hibee and hurts more than most in that dressing room. The problems don't lie at Thomsons door.

[bathhibby]

Soon as I saw his sub name I txt my son we are doomed

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Odd subbie. Looked more tired than some of the players who had been on the pitch all night.

[Brooster]

I detest seeing Thomson in a Hibs shirt. Does my nut in.

I couldn't care less what he is on and that he is a Hibee. Thats the biggest problem we have always bring back false gods....I'd beat him in a 60yd sprint and I'm 44. He not even close to being fit enough to play full time football.

[hibee_girl]

Have to agree, I've tried my best to like him but I just can't.

[Billy Whizz]

What am I missing?

[Hiber-nation]

Stupid substitution but not the reason we drew the game.

[SJM]

Have some more respect mate. Would expect more.

[andrew70]

I cannot believe people actually stand up for him. He's a liability and that's putting it politely. A disgrace tonight.

Fair enough mate.

[andrew70]

His continuous fouling helped Falkirk to put us under pressure. He was a massive reason as to why we chucked it.

[Big_Franck]

He was poor the last time he was here and he's even worse now. He offers absolutely nothing.

[neil7908]

Not going to get into anything personal as I don't doubt Thomson's commitment but I have to say it looks like his time as a pro is up. Was surprised when he rejoined but presumed it would be a 90% coaching job with the player option as a back up for last resort. Amazed at how much game time he's had and just looks off the pace these days

[Hiber-nation]

His continuous fouling helped Falkirk to put us under pressure. He was a massive reason as to why we chucked it.

Bartley got taken off for continuous fouling. The defence were far too deep and other players were scared to keep the ball, bottle pure and simple.

Anyway I didn't want Thomson back, he offers nothing and I'd be more than happy if I never saw him in a Hibs jersey again. And that goes for Stokes as well...

[Brooster]

Aye right. Its difficult to show respect when Im paying fortunes to watch him act as a man short.

Remember that time again Hearts he was outstanding? Offers nothing? Nah. He's one of our own.

[Hiber-nation]

It's not. A little more respect wouldn't go a miss though.

[hibee_girl]

It's not. A little more respect wouldn't go a miss though.

What's he done to deserve so much respect? Does he deserve it any more than any of the other players?

[andrew70]

Remember that time again Hearts he was outstanding? Offers nothing? Nah. He's one of our own.

Jesus Christ, this is why Hibs will never get past the current (extensive) malaise. People accepting mediocrity. Thomson should be emptied if he had any respect for our club he'd retire. Yet we all know the (lack of) respect he has towards our club.

[SJM]

And there's the good old "accepting mediocrity" making an appearance again.

It's usually contained within a package of nonsense and this one is no different.

"Lack of respect for our club" LOL.

Your mental if you think I accept where we are and again, another personal dig at the guy. He's done a lot more for the club than the majority at the club just now.

[Iceman1875]

Having known Kev since he was 4, he cares for Hibs more than people can imagine. However, I agree, I don't think he is right for first team football with us anymore.


At Easter Road we play...

[The_Horde]

Thomson was an okay sub. But what we actually needed was to leave on a couple of our bigger players. The ones over 6ft. Like Bartley and McGinn..

[Ozyhibby]

Remember that time again Hearts he was outstanding? Offers nothing? Nah. He's one of our own.

First thing he did in that game is fail to track his man and let them score.

[Pete]

First thing he did in that game is fail to track his man and let them score.

Which completely cancels out taking the game by the scruff of the neck in the second.

mcginn is 6ft? really? he brought on henderson...i agreed with that.... but thomson was the wrong thing to do. i assume he thought he would come in and put his foot on the ball and play us out of bother. but he simply can't do that anymore. Handling should have been brought on.

[andrew70]

There are actually no words to respond to your argument.

in fact there is pathetic...much like Thomson himself.

[Allan45]

Playing Thomson and no disrespect is going backwards in every way. Stubbs sort it! If hibs are to move forward we should not have him on the park.

[Pete]

There are actually no words to respond to your argument.

in fact there is pathetic...much like Thomson himself.

So not only has Thomson no respect for our club, he's also pathetic?

Deary me. If that's the sort of "words" you come out with I'm glad you're struggling to find any.

[Crammond Hibee]

I'm in total agreement .Kevin should not even be in the squad now.Not fit enough and I think most agree.What I can't work out though is why Stubbs keeps him involved .and can't see how he is totally off the pace.

[stantonhibby]

I cannot believe people actually stand up for him. He's a liability and that's putting it politely. A disgrace tonight.

FFS...he came on in the 89th minute.... how exactly was he a disgrace? Gave away a couple of fouls?

[Beefster]

If folk think Thomson is a problem, who's the guy who keeps putting him on the park?

[gaz1875]

Thomson was an okay sub. But what we actually needed was to leave on a couple of our bigger players. The ones over 6ft. Like Bartley and McGinn..

He was only on the pitch for 1 minute + injury time and Bartley was giving away too many fouls and on a yellow, there were no other "big" players on the bench. He was brought on to shore up the midfield and pass the ball not hoof it up the park like we were doing. He's not the reason our defenders couldn't attack a long thrown in. Some of the posts on here are total rubbish.

[flash]

We had three central defenders on the park when both goals were scored.
They were all posted missing. That's where the problem lies.

[andrew70]

So not only has Thomson no respect for our club, he's also pathetic?

Deary me. If that's the sort of "words" you come out with I'm glad you're struggling to find any.

Yes you're catching on slowly. Thomson shouldn't be wearing the shirt of our proud club.

My words are more eloquent than yours will ever be they just don't need to be in this instance.

[macd123]

It's no coincidence that we started going downhill when Thomson and Stokes arrived. 2 disastrous signings. Nobody from that relegation squad should be let anywhere near the club. He shouldn't be let near our under 16s. And as for Stokes, he is not someone you want at your club if you care about team spirit. We never learn. We will probably do the same when Scott Brown is an old crocked has been who needs a retirement home.

[HappyAsHellas]

Wasn't at the game tonight due to work, but Thomson should have been MOM against Livi, and if he only came on for the last minute what the hell do you expect him to do?

[Hermit Crab]

He's pish and should never have been signed. Done more harm than good.

[Pete]

Yes you're catching on slowly. Thomson shouldn't be wearing the shirt of our proud club.

At least you've explained your lack of eloquence in post 47. It simply wasn't necessary.

:aok:

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Ridiculous thread for a guy that came on in the 89th min. Said as soon as they scored their first that they would equalise. It's Hibs, it's what we do. The only shock was that it wasn't Miller who scored. However he did assist.
Not Thomson's fault that we can't defend a simple throw in with two centre half's and the worlds tallest right back on the pitch.

[MWHIBBIES]

After cup final he still plays WTFYeah, our manager doesn't judge players on 1 game, mindblowing indeed.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Sorry, but I'm not a Thomson fan either and for the same reason as the OP ...... Its irrational, has no basis in logic and I couldn't possibly mount a coherent defence of why I think this way.

But I just think the guy is bad luck .... I thought that the first time he came back and I was underwhelmed to see him return to the club again. I just see him as a bad omen for a club that already attracts misfortune like flies to jobby.

Its nothing to do with tonight's game, its not even personal .... I don't dislike him as a player or a person. But do I think he's a jinx? Yes absolutely !!!

[Baldy]

He was too slow and wasn't good enough when we were relegated, he's even worse 2 years later.

I don't think its any coincidence that our dip in form has coincided with him playing, he may be the "perfect professional" off the pitch but on it, he is just not good enough

[ALF TUPPER]

Crap signing. There was a reason Dundee didn't want him - he's finished.

Think KT chose to leave them. Don't think it was the other way round. Just sayin ...,

Yes sad to see a player fade out this way,
no more driving runs or searching diagonal passes...a role in backroom/coaching staff perhaps is best for him now..wish him well
after all he once was our best player in happier times.:agree:

Exactly mate! Posters will use anything and I mean anything to jump straight on KT back even when he done nothing wrong! It's school playground stuff blame the guy u don't like embarrassing from grown men

[Frazerbob]

The way KT disrespected each and every one of us and the club he supposedly cares so much for when engineering his first move from the club means I will never like the man. Having said that, to blame him for last night's capitulation is just deflecting from the real issues IMHO.

[WeeRussell]

Have we blamed Stevenson yet? Can't be too many left on the scapegoat checklist for last night.

[ALF TUPPER]

I blame with my little eye .......
Someone beginning wiiiiiiith .. 🤔

[Smartie]

TBH last night was exactly the kind of situation that is suited to Kevin Thomson and whilst I don't want to be critical of Stubbs based on last night's display I'd have put him on for Bartley sooner.

Ok, he gave away a couple of fouls but they weren't in a dangerous position and they (should have) helped stop Falkirk getting momentum by breaking up the play.

He didn't get a chance on the ball but if he did his ability to keep the ball, stay calm and slow things down was exactly what we needed.

Mental to be blaming Thomson.

Although - I still don't really know who was meant to be picking up who at the second goal. Should the scorer (who made a run from deep and was in acres of space as the ball was delivered into the box) have been picked up by a centre-half or a midfielder?

[J-C]

Engineered his 1st move, you mean when he and Collins literally hated each other and it was in the best interest of both parties for him to leave, Rangers had the money and Hibs were willing to sell but never let facts get in the way eh!

[staunchhibby]

Would not think there is many playerx left to use as scapegoats.People sem tp take great delight in blaming a player.It is a team game.

[SunshineOnLeith]

It's not. A little more respect wouldn't go a miss though.

He doesn't deserve any respect. He's reached the same stage Ian Murray was at in his last spell with us now where he's totally useless but will throw in a few meaty tackles (90% of which are fouls) so that people interpret him as 'showing passion' and 'caring'.

[Frazerbob]

I mean constantly slated our club in his weekly column in a national newspaper whilst having the privelage of being captain. However I think you know exactly what I mean.

[heretoday]

I cannot understand why Thomson gets to appear for Hibs. He looks overweight for one thing and he carries the taint of previous disasters upon him. To sub a guy like Bartley for him seems senseless.

He came on last night and proceeded to put us in trouble with two stupid fouls.

[JimBHibees]

Completely agree. Thought Thomson was one of the few who got pass marks last week when we were down to Livingston and some were hiding.

I am sure he didnt expect to play as much as he has and it is laughable the abuse on this thread.

This abusing of players is appalling and completely self destructive.

Bartley got taken off before he was sent off. Had been booked in the first half and then gave away about 5 or 6 fouls after that. Thomson was brought on to try and see the game out, it never worked out that way as the the goalkeeper and defenders (obviously under Stubbs instructions) want to hit the ball long towards our strikers who were both out on there feet. Therefore the ball just keeps coming back to us. If the ball was played into midfield and played around more when we are leading, it would tire the opposition out but unless fyvie does it, there's nobody to get on the ball

[J-C]

The column was ghost written by a journo but you would've known that already.

Thomson and Brown had just signed new contracts and Petrie was boasting that he had two £2m players at ER, their agent went back and said if you value the at £2m, how about paying them wages of a £2m player. Kevin felt Hibs didn't value him as much as he thought they did, he was just another commodity as far as Petrie was concerned, £2 worth of bones and flesh.

Not only was it ghost written, but people are now just making things up about what he supposedly said at the time. He's always been clear about his love for the club then and now. Yes he is past his best but some folk need to get a grip, it was 10 years ago for goodness sake.

I don't care who wrote it, he put his name to it and accepted the cheque. He and Brown went along with the plot or are you saying everything that happened in that embarrassing and damaging episode was against their will?

Please read my original post on the matter, I was actually sticking up for him......despite how I feel about him.

And, incidentally, actually suggested he should replace Bartley after about 75 minutes last night.

[SJM]

I don't care who wrote it, he put his name to it and accepted the cheque. He and Brown went along with the plot or are you saying everything that happened in that embarrassing and damaging episode was against their will?

He didn't say anything about the club. He said he owed it to his family to look for a better wage eventually. Collins stripped him of captain set an example whist Scott Brown took the piss out Collins every day, instigated the meeting with Petrie and put in a transfer request. KT didn't say anything at all about this club I repeat, he said he felt sick at the way he was treated as a boyhood and lifelong fan and he hated John Collins. Collins also took Stewart's side when the two players had a fight then Collins done exactly the same to him a few months later.

[HibsNutter]

He was on the pitch for 5 minutes. He also came on after we'd started to capitulate and were 2-1 up.

Some bizarre interpretations of him causing our downfall last night. Baffling to say the least.

He never caused our downfall last night.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

When hearts won the championship and got promoted they punted their deadwood like Eckersley, Keatings et al as they deemed them not good enough for premiership.

Hibs on the other hand seem intent on retaining or bringing back has beens that don't IMPROVE the overall quality of our squad.

We plod away with guys like Stevenson who is a great servant and decent pro but we can do better in that position. It's just an example.
