Andy Shinnie

[Unseen work]

Take a bow.

Gets alot of stick and never started tonight.

Came on tonight, took chances, brilliant assist and a good brave goal.

[21sMay]

Very true, this guy plays football

[makaveli1875]

shinnie gets alot of stick on here and from the boo boys , some of it way over the top . theres a player in there just hope he can find that form more often

[My_Wife_Camille]

Best player to pull on the green and white since John Collins

great stuff tonight 👏🏼👏🏼

[MWHIBBIES]

Spineless and gutless I read on here. Absolute class more like.

Always rated him.

[gogsy23]

Superb tonight. Different class

[noz]

greatt assist and goal, didnt quite see that chance he had early in 2nd half , set up by McGinn, anybody get a good view of it in the FFS? He seems to miss the easy ones and score the difficult chances!

[Valencia]

Brilliant always make himself available

[Ozyhibby]

I've been one of his biggest critics but he was excellent tonight. Hopefully a massive turning point.

Another who stepped up tonight, best game from him since he came, not everything came off but wasn't afraid to get stuck in and was always available, good goal too.

[WhileTheChief..]

Good to see him being appreciated for once. I'd have made him MotM if Holt hadn't been so damn good.

[Hibs Class]

Excellent game, did really well.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Best performance so far. Shaky start taking a bit too long on the ball, which has been the main criticism, but he responded suberbly and looked like the player we all thought we were getting. Great game.

That's the player I hoped we had signed

Well done Andrew Shinnie

So not a ' gutless imposter' then ?

[hibsmad]

My MOTM today.

When Humphrey had to go off I was genuinely worried as we had clearly set out with two wide players and the injury could have really disrupted our plans. When Shinnie came on, I thought right we really need a shift from you today.

He delivered big time!

[eastcoasthibby]

Really glad he put a shift and performance in like that tonight , now needs to back it up with others and earn himself a contract with us ! Never doubted his ability and tonight he put it all together ...well done Andy Shinnie ...

[DaveF]

He was excellent as was Holt. 2 guys who have taken plenty of stick, but who deserve enormous credit for their efforts tonight.

[Argylehibby]

:agree:spot on Dave. Plenty of contenders for MOM tonight and those guys were two of the best ones.

[Hibee Mac]

Superb tonight! What a goal as well, he's definitely won over a few folk tonight.

Play like that every game and he'll be star in no time!

EDIT: just saw the highlights and his goal wasn't quite as spectacular as id initially thought, still get in there.

[Azz1875]

Played great tonight, took his chance when he came on, playing out of position aswell. Gives Lennon something to ponder for Saturday.

Very tricky to come into a derby in those circumstances I'd have thought.

We just need more goals / assists from him and Grant. I think most can see what they bring to the team.

[BSEJVT]

Not tonight no, he did very well and I am happy to acknowledge that and did so before your "insight"

If you want to play trawl back through old posts crash on

I would rather celebrate a job well done

I am sure if you look back long enough you might find I was less than complementary about Pat Stanton once

I will look forward to you bringing that to my attention at some future point

Alternatively try getting a life

[The Spaceman]

Happy for Shinnie. When people saw him coming out of his warm up to come on for Humpherys you could sense a degree of apathy...but he really turned up tonight, was fighting for the ball, got an assist and a good goal. Guy is a player, just needs the confidence and hopefully today will give him it!

[My_Wife_Camille]

Ditto

Well done Andrew ShinnieExactly. That's the type of performance I want to see from him. If he does more of that between now and the end of the season I'll be absolutely delighted. Mon the Shinnie!

[Not In The Know]

Motm looked a class above anyone on the pitch.

[7062]

He won me over. Scored a great goal, but it was the fact he got really stuck in to them from the second he came on that done it.

That's what you need in games like that and I didn't see it coming from him. I was proved wrong.

To be honest I've always thought you were one of the better posters on here...However that was comment was pretty disgraceful which is why I called you out on it.

No need for the personal abuse.

He's a very very talented boy. Doesn't turn it on often enough or maybe he doesn't get time & space against very compact defenses - I hope we can hold onto him as I'm sure he'll be much more effective in more in the SPL.

I don't care enough to look back at anyone's previous but from what I remember you normally post pretty level headed stuff - recently you seem to be having a fair old pop at everyone - relax & enjoy what should be a good year :flag:

[Stokesy's on fire]

He was classy tonight and showed some strength very good performance a wonderful assist and a brilliant goal! Well played

[The Harp Awakes]

Well done tonight Andy. Brilliant performance and goal. Keep it up son.

[JackLadd]

Was that the real Shinnie? Want to see more.

[BSEJVT]

No need for the personal abuse.

You are absolutely correct on both counts, my apologies

Just seemed a bit strange to bring it up after I had complemented the guy on a night like this but heigh ho its obviously rankled you?

Andrew Shinnie just really frustrates me (not tonight)

He looks like he could be capable of great things but has struggled to impose himself on games as well as he should and some time looks really powder puff / disinterested

I hate seeing people waste their talent and don't have a great deal of sympathy for those that do

Regardless he doesn't deserve that level of abuse, mea culpa to you both

[hibee_girl]

By far his best performance for us. I've not been a fan but he might just have won me over tonight

You are correct

A few things going on at the moment and I am on a far shorter fuse than normal or is good for me

Apologies to all

Must try harder

Fair do's...... Fwiw I agree he has had too many poor games.

Anyhoo.......Onwards and upwards......Enjoy your evening......Hibs for the cup!

[SlickShoes]

Shinnie is a good footballer, he just seems to be shoved off the ball or lose control of the ball sometimes at really unfortunate times, if he could cut that out he'd be fantastic.

[BSEJVT]

Thanks, you too

I though the team were fantastic tonight and the score flattered them big time

[HFCdeb]

Been defending him for months and I'm absolutely delighted he got to ram it up the boo boys tonight. He was my MOTM.

[SteveHFC]

:agree:

His best game for us since joining.

[CMurdoch]

Shinnie coming on for Humphrey was the turning point.
I was delighted when he came on.
I think Humphrey would have been poor and might have cost us.
That is probably unfair on Humphrey and is just my opinion.
Well done Shinnie and Holt, both got the roll of the ball tonight getting 2 goals and an assist.
The team were all fantastic tonight and never looked anything but winners.

[hfc rd]

By far his best performance for us. I've not been a fan but he might just have won me over tonight

Agree with this. If these are the sort of performances he is capable of putting in then that will do me!

Played really well tonight as if he had a point to prove. Delighted for him when he scored!

Replace one player for another with boo boys why don't u?? Don't know what u Base this on given Humphrey played for a minute but hey ho.

Anyway outstanding from.shinnie and interesting Holt commented on the stick they have been getting in his interview....see it does filter thru to our players...some fans really need to cut out the abuse of our players.

Let's enjoy what was a great night and learn to be a bit more patient with some of our players please

Have to admit when he came on I did think to my self does he have the fight in him for this game. Thought he was great though from what i could see from highlights and periscope yestersday

[mentalhibee]

Shinnie was outstanding, that type of open game suited him!

[Brooster]

Superb performance from Shinnie last night. He can split a defence wide open with these passes, excellent.

What a ridiculous statement, the lad had 3 touches his final one was a cracking cross into the box after skinning their left back, I hope his injury isn't a bad one and it's just a twisted ankle.

[emerald green]

If only Andrew Shinnie could get the level of consistency of performance into his game. That could of course be said about some other Hibs players.

Shinnie's defence splitting pass leading to the first all important goal was superb. Perfectly angled and weighted pass.

One particular poster who has called Shinnie "gutless" remains conspicuous by his/her absence I note.

That's because he got banned

[Hibs1969]

Wednesday was Shinnie's best performance in a Hibs shirt by a distance. He looked a class act from the moment he came on. Like many of our players he seems to have the ability to lift his game against top level opposition but struggles against the teams from the lower reaches of the Championship just when we would expect him (and others) to flourish. Call me greedy but I want more performances like that between now and the end of the season.

[Mathias Jack]

I've bored myself saying this to my mates since we signed him, Shinnie played at his best for Inverness when he's on the left and cuts in. Which is exactly what he did for his goal on Wednesday.

Best performance from him in a Hibs shirt, hopefully that'll give him confidence to push on for the rest of the season.

Take a bow Shinniesta!

[KWJ]

Great game from him, and everyone else.

The more I see of his chance in the first half the more I think it may have actually taken a deflection over rather than he missed a sitter.

[Albanian Hibs]

When he scored I actually turned around to the Shinnie haters behind me and gave it a big GIRUY. Hopefully they pipe down from now on.

[B.H.F.C]

Think he's been dire at times but I do think he's a better player than what he's shown for us.

His performance the other night was what we've missed, a threat from midfield. More of that and people's opinion will change.

One performance doesn't make him a messiah. Let's see if he follows it up tomorrow night. Hopefully he does. Wednesday was by far his best performance. let's hope it continues but he has to turn in performances like that more often, starting tomorrow.

[MWHIBBIES]

Shinnie was better away at Dunfermline and at home to Morton than he was on Wednesday. He has been very good in quite a few games this season.

[hibbysam]

It certainly did, the loop on the ball as it went over showed that. The lad could easily have had a hat trick.

[B.H.F.C]

Shinnie was better away at Dunfermline and at home to Morton than he was on Wednesday. He has been very good in quite a few games this season.

But not consistent whatsoever which has been his problem. The two games you singled out were in August and October and there hasn't been an awful lot of 'very good' performances from him since then.

FWIW I thought he was miles better on Wednesday than any other game he's played when you take in to account the occasion, magnitude of the game etc.

Didn't say he was the messiah. Just sick of all the abuse he has been getting.
