Why was Hanlon captain?

[3pm]

I am not fussed who it was but I always thought Fontaine was VC?!

Just curious!

Pretty sure Hanlon is our vice captain.

[madhatter]

Hanlon was easily man of the match today. Hanlon should be our vice-captain if not our captain. The impact of Hanlon being out was evident to all.

Fontaine is. Or might be 'was' now.

[MWHIBBIES]

Hanlon struggled previously when captain under calderwood, happy for him to leave it to others if it helps us win.

Dearie me, not another one. It was as one sided a game as you are likely to see, tell me what Hanlon did to be motm. I also think he should be nowhere near the captaincy as he hasn't got the right temperament, what we needed today was a Yogi type character who would scream at and encourage the players forward.

Please leave it, Hanlon was by a fair bit our best player, not only defensively but also distribution. Did he kick your dog or something, unbelievable.

It's the same half dozen or so who are relentless in his praise. If he was as good as they all think he is we wouldn't be in the position we're in, and he wouldn't be with us full stop.

He's been our second best player behind McGinn this season. In fact, I'd say some of his performances this season have been excellent.

I was chatting to Pat Stanton before the game today and he said that he thinks Paul Hanlon is the best player at ER just now. But hey, what would he know eh?

Ii'm not trolling at all Matty, and I resent that coming from an admin. You're right, I don't rate him, and I think I am more than justified in saying so.

Oxley takes a hell of abuse from regularly posters on here, as do some of the other players. I happen to think Hanlon escapes criticism when he has been at the heart of some woeful individual and team performances for years. I repeat. if he was as good as you lot make him out to be he wouldn't be plying his trade in The Scottish Championship, and he would certainly have part time strikers in his back pocket instead of the other way around.

[SON OF PADDY]

Today he was neither woeful either individually or team wise today but you still weighed in. Give it a rest. If thats not trolling I dont know what is. As Matty says we get it. We dont need it every time someone has the temerity to say he played really or even relatively well. Critisim of you well deserved IMO so suck it up Princess.

Now tell us which part time strikers have had Paul Hanlon in their back pockets? Your normal argument is he's not that good as he's playing against poor players, I'll give you Adam Rooney(full time) Dauda(full time) Martyn Waghorn(full time), not one of these players have had a sniff against Paul Hanlon this season, I'll add Billy McKay to that list for the league cup tie, although he did get one chance in the cup final, but hardly 'in the back pocket' stuff!

What, like John McGinn or Dylan Mcgeouch? Are they crap as well since they are playing in the Championship?

I never said he was woeful today, and I didn't weigh in as you call it, Ii asked what did he do to make him possibly think he was motm. Read my post again sunshine. Anyway I'm out, I can see you big boys get really upset at my posts on your beloved Paul. Let's hope he lives up to the hype and leads us to cup glory and promotion.

[Mr White]

I didn't weigh in.

You are absolutely clueless as to Hanlon's abilities.Just come out and admit you don't like him and stop posting this relentless pish about him,it's tiresome.

[KWJ]

It's the same half dozen or so who are relentless in his praise. If he was as good as they all think he is we wouldn't be in the position we're in, and he wouldn't be with us full stop.

The 'he wouldn't be with us' comments you constantly come out with are ridiculous. That's saying we wouldn't be able to get any quality player. Besides, I fear that Paul won't be with us next season if we don't go up.

Weren't we in touching distance of Rangers when he got injured this year and weren't we mid-table when he got injured in our relegation year?

[KWJ]

Oh and regarding MotM I can't think of anyone who played better than him. Stevenson would be up there but I don't think any of our forward players did enough with the opportunities that they had.

[stanton_4]

Hanlon was excellent today. He read the game well, didn't lose one challenge and distributed the ball well. Really can't understand why anyone would criticise him on today's performance. He was a stand out for me amongst a team who looked tired and slow. I would have handed him MOTM. It's all about opinions though eh.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

If he was as good as they all think he is we wouldn't be in the position we're in, and he wouldn't be with us full stop.

The saddest repeated quote I've read on this forum - "we don't deserve decent players ever as the good ones wouldn't touch us with a barge pole if they've any ambition" do we really underrate/hate ourselves that much?

Couldn't it be that we find a Wee gem that falls in love with the Hibs as we have done - Sauzee ("it was the money stupid"'?) or giving players a chance and they repay us - Cummings?

Or even a Hibee who can just play a bit - Griffiths ("but he wasn't ours!"/ Thomson (first time)

So the flip side is they were only destined to see mediocrity - the golden generation was an aberration.

I'd like to know where you find your happiness or inner peace as it's unlikely to be at Easter Road.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

I'd have Hanlon as our captain all the time tbh. He was too young when he was given it first time around but I think he's now better captain material than Gray or Fontaine. Saying that, I do think we miss a real leader in our squad, a Yogi or Sauzee type of character.
Finally, folk that can't see Hanlon's qualities must sit with their eyes shut during games [emoji849]

[Brightside]

He 100% has the qualities to captain a team. I know Gail doesn't actually watch the games but if he did she/he would notice Hanlon constantly talking his defence through the game , you'd also hear him pushing the midfield forward when they come too deep. He's the best defender we have had in my life time. There are still a few who want Rob Jones type defenders who just lump it forward or out. Thankfully the game has moved on.

Agree. He deserves to be the one to lift the Scottish Cup, though I'd guess Gray will be back by then.

Gotta say I think we have a few leaders types in the squad already, namely: Bartley, Thomson, Stokes, Fyvie. I would class all of those as more appropriate captains than Gray and Fontaine, IMO.

Also think McGinn, McGeouch and Henderson may well blossom into leaders too.

Hanlon only ever talks to the defence when he himself has made a blunder, of which he makes many, and often. I refer you back to his shambolic defending against Utd recentl, to name but one.

Pushes the midfield forward? did he do that in the final minutes against Falkirk recently? did he heckers like, he was like the invisible man once more.

Best defender in your lifetime? that is just too funny, and to have a go at Rob Jones? a Hibernian legend who was sung about by the fans? I can tell you one thing hapless Hanlon won't ever have a song sung about him, though I do believe the away support might sing about him from time to time.

According to you after the Morton game at ER Hanlon would be back and sort out the defence, well Mr underpants you forgot to tell messrs Nade and co the following game because we all know what happened there don't we. And he was at the heart of the defence in defeats against Raith QOS Alloa

I seemed to notice there were no posts on Hanlon's composed defending against part time players then.

He has been at ER for what 8 years now? and look where we are, think about it Mr Hanlon. And then think where we were when big Rob was our captain, and the kind of football we played back then, and you say the game has moved on? dearie ****** me. What a pity we haven't moved on with it then huh.

I usually try and let things go when peoples opinions don't stack up with mine, but this is something else. You don't talk about Hanlon like a hibs fan that is frustrated with a poor player. You speak like someone who has a bone to pick and no sense of reason will make you see otherwise.

Dearie me indeed.

Agree. Against Dundee United in the semi there was a couple of heart in mouth moments caused by Hanlon but IMHO he's the most improved player at Easter Road over the past couple of seasons. And he's a massive Hibs fan too.

Also, if it wasn't for his late goal against Hearts then it's unlikely we'd be playing rangers in the Scottish Cup final this month

I reckon Paul Hanlon must have pumped Gail's bird, spilt his pint AND broken into his house on Christmas day and pissed on his kids opening their presents. It sure as heck can't be due to anything he's ever done in a Hibs shirt.

I understand that some players are a bit marmite - Malonga wasn't everyone's cup of tea, I never took to Gary Caldwell at all in spite of him being a popular player with good credentials. But I simply cannot understand where this opinion of Paul Hanlon can come from, I really can't.

Do you not think Gail is in fact a woman and may not have a bird as you put it, I thought the username was a bit of a give away :)

No.

I've met some truly vindictive women in my life but none as vengeful as Gail seems to be on the subject of Paul Hanlon.

Actually, now you mention it, "hell hath no fury like………."

I was not Hanlons biggest fan for quite a while, but he has improved. He's not as good as some make out, but he's the first name on the sheet these days.

He is prone to making the odd howler, but he's normally solid and decent on the ball now.

And he seems to me to have bulked up a bit and not muscled off the ball anywhere near as easily as he was.

I hope he signs a new contract.

McGregor is our best defender.
