Simon Murray

[Captain Trips]

An honest pro of a player absolutely delighted to have this guy at the club. He will never give less than 100% every time.

I think there is even more in the locker and would be delighted even at this juncture to extend his contract. He will not fail us with his honest attitude.

[Hi Heid Yin]

I couldn't agree more.
Simon Murray is our Duracell bunny.
His energy and commitment to our cause is absolutely fantastic and inspiring.
A shrewd acquisition by Neil Lennon.

Totally agre bud. If you hear his post match interview after the derby you can just tell the type of guy he is. I’m so happy he got a goal again on Tuesday.

[Big90inOz]

The guy gives 100% every time, chases lost causes, doesn't let the defenders or goalie pick their passes which often results in just an aimless hoof up the park giving us a chance to win back the ball.

And


He doesn't bugger around when he gets an opening, he just puts his foot or head through the ball.

Agree with all the above - pace, strength, energy and can finish. More than any other player at the club he also has the type of game that can suit a formation where we only play one striker with others playing off him.

Great that he got the goal, I think he needed it to give him a wee boost. He does a lot for the team but I reckon he judges himself on goals so the wee dry spell may have been preying on his mind a bit.

The EEN article where he talks about watching players like Vardy and studying their technique to improve his own game shows how dedicated he is. He will improve and I agree with those suggesting we extend his deal now.

This is highlighted after about two seconds in the derby. Have a watch of it and see. Ball gets played back to Hearts defender who takes a bad touch. Murray closes him down quickly and the ball is hoofed out for a throw in.

Watched the game as I recorded it and think it's 28:30 seconds when we get a corner and he walks into the hearts goal picks up their goalies water drinks it then throws what's left back into the corner of the goals.

Absolute brilliance from him and the goal was ok too.😉.

What tune does this go to?

The glorious goal could not have gone to a more deserved player.

Well done again Simon - best is yet to come.

Ha ha - nice one Simon Murray.

The jambos is must have clocked that coz one of them did exact same with Rocky’s drink in second half. I must admit, if I was a goalie I’d be tempted to hide my water under my towel and leave out another bottle laced with a mind altering substance!!!!! 😎

Or have 2 bottles one hidden under a towel and one full of urine. :greengrin

[lugz]

I have to say I wasn't keen on him signing at the time but I really like him now. His work rate is something to be admired and there's definitely talent there.

[21.05.2016]

Loved watching him sing along to SoL at the end, smiling from ear to ear. Also saw on his instagram that he was blaring SoL in his house the day after :thumbsup:

My lad noticed that too. Quality noising up!

[Bristolhibby]

Did I read he’s a Hibby? Or have I just made that up?

[essexhibee]

He played an important role Tuesday in chasing and harrying the Hearts centre backs (particularly Berra) who do not like the ball at their feet into hitting it aimlessly long due to not having time on the ball.

He needs to work on his hold up play I think but his goal was brilliantly taken - the touch through the legs was class.

Well he is now!

[essexhibee]

Well he is now!

Was singing along to SOL which I thought was a nice touch.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i want to know why the PA gadgy played freed from desire instead of girls don't like boys girls like simon murray after his goal :I'm waiti

JHe was a Dundee fan growing up. No doubt he’s a dedicated Hibs fan now.

Yes, absolutely. No, you didn't.

And I had my doubts when we signed him and I was very wrong.

The lad's a breath of fresh air and that goal was a classic. Terrific strike and we won't see better the rest of the season.

[Peevemor]

TBH I didn't know much about Murray when he signed but was reassured by the fact that it was right at the start of the transfer window and it was obvious a move than NL really wanted.

Whoever he supports, he was absolutely buzzing during his post match interview. I got the impression that he had his hands stuck into his oxters to stop him waving them about going radge.

Henderson done a cracker when we played Raith Rovers in the
SC. He lifted the goalies water & threw it behind advertising boards. A minute later the goalie goes for a drink & nae water there. The look on his face when he couldn't find it was hilarious.
