Worst hibs XI since 2000

[21.05.2016]

After having a look on the "forgotten players" thread that threw up a bunch of names of absolute humpties from the past, got me thinking what is the worst hibs XI. Only players from 2000 onwards though.

Not trying to bring start a negative thread, just a bit of fun. If anything it makes me grateful for the team we have now when you look back at the nightmares of the past lol!


Zibbi
O'Brien
Murdoch
Rowan Vine
Kujabi
De Graaf
McGivern
Zarabi


Just some of the names that would make the cut for me.

[Unseen work]

No chance is mcgivern one of the worst, first season he was quality. Then, like many, he turned poor.

Where's the rest of your team.

[nellio]

I remember being surprised by how bad Rowan Vine was. I saw him play against Cardiff for QPR and he wasn't bad at all. Then he was awful with us and I told people he probably needs to get fit but he was just terrible!!

[Ozyhibby]

The team that took the field against Hamilton in the second leg of the play offs.
I've never seen a Hibs team perform so badly. Ever.

Our defence wasn't that bad the season we wen't down, it was the forward line dream team that got us relegated. There's a few more I can think of that I'd include just for a certain game alone (Soares & Kujabi are partly there because of it).

Perhaps not the absolute worst but still an absolutely dire player. 1st season was ok (would certainly not say quality) but he was generally a bomb scare.

Surely you've got the name wrong there although I can't think who you mean.

[MWHIBBIES]

McGivern wouldn't even be close to this team.

[Craig_HFC]

I'd guess Tudor-Jones in which case he's absolutely correct.

Of course....can't argue with that!

:agree:

Couldn't get into the team that got relegated. Says it all.

[keep the faith]

The two full backs would be the two who Duffy signed and must go down as the worst double signing in hibs history. David Elliot and Jamie mcquilken.

[Diclonius]

McGivern wouldn't even be close to this team.

McGivern was fantastic the season we had him on loan from Man City. Remember a derby at Tynecastle (finished 0-0 I think) where he single-handedly kept Hearts at bay for parts of the game.

Then we signed him permanently, he decided he liked Edinburgh nightlife a bit too much, and became ****.

Collins wasn't a great player, but he's no where close to being in the worst team since 2000.

This thread is giving me nightmares.

And Simon Brown is easily the worst keeper who ever discredited our club. At least the others tried even if they were rubbish.

No loans (going for permanent McGivern here), but either complete guff or over the hill wastes of wages. I know McGivern was very good when first brought on but that entire relegation season, and the first goal in the play off return game against Hamilton earns him his place. Martin Scott got a 3/4 year deal and all he did was break someones jaw in training. A front three with 31 appearances between them and 0 goals.

Don't take part in it then?

As I said in the OP its just a light hearted thread. It isn't slagging any of our current players or putting them down, just a look back on some of the nightmares which as I said makes us all the more grateful for the team we have now! Nobody from the last 2/3 years or so would get anywhere near a "worst hibs XI".

I agree, far from the worst! He actually had a decent spell at hibs partnering Jones at centre half.

The problem with some of these is they tend to go on players people didn't really like or really didn't play enough to really judge. We've had some shockers that have had pretty long runs or really should have been nowhere near the club.

The likes of Soares, Doherty and Done were all regrettably better than we had at the time, only played probably a dozen games for us and have gone on to do okay elsewhere as well.

Both absolute nightmares but Zibi definatly was worse in my opinion. You know your keepers a nightmare when your rivals fans cheer when his name is read out when the announcer names the teams. Can't say I blame them though, with Zibi in goals the yams were basically 1 or 2 goals up before a ball was even kicked. Gift wrapped them goals just about every derby.

This is on pure ability, unfortunately I haven't been asked my most hated Hibs XI, though most of these players would make it.

[Pretty Boy]

Simon Brown is streets ahead (or behind or whatever) in the goalkeeping department. An absolutely woeful goalkeeper and far worse than Makalambay or Malkowski.

Zibi actually had a few decent games (0-3 Sproule game and unbeatable derby spring to mind) before his confidence went and his decision making with it. He was undoubtedly poor especially in derbies but there was a keeper there. Makalambay had his moments good and bad.

The only positive I recall of Browns entire Hibs career was an admittedly brilliant save from Bob Malcolm in the SC at Ibrox. Apart from that he was a fat, useless waste of space who wouldn't have looked out of place on a public park in a Sunday league.

look, I can understand you might not fancy him as a player...but there is NO way he is anywhere near the worst 100 players I've seen play for Hibs... ridiculous to consider him in the top 11

Totally agree 100%.

Sure he's not the finished article but he really excites me as he is so fast and has moments of sublime skill but then can fluff the final ball but he has such potential and could be anything and I really like Boyle.

He's entitled to his opinion but he's wrong.

Awful player but not the absolute worst. if this was a thread about worst attitude XI however then yes your right he would be captain. A gutless nomark who for some bizarre reason felt he was too big for us. Couldn't give a **** about hibs, just here for a wage. Its because we used to sign jokers like him that we ended up relegated. Jeez the standard of signings we used to have is frightening. Doherty wouldn't even be on the bench for the team we have now thank god!

Matt Doherty is a decent shout on the grounds he acted like a cock when he was with us. But based purely on ability he wouldn't make the team.

Few blasts from the past here and strong candidates for keeper. Zibi, Simon Brown and Tony Caig could have 30min each.
