Scott Allan

Not quite curtains, but still utterly awful hair.

Boy band - Lenny will have him in for a #1 all over by this afternoon.

[hibsbollah]

Photo on Hibs twitter, I’ll let you make your mind up

Its gone a bit late 80s Jason Donovan now.

[WeeRussell]

Zemamma for natural ability?

In terms of better midfielders: Brown, Thomson, Boozy, McGinn all at least as good or better.

I had forgotten how much I liked Zemamma actually :greengrin

The others though, all brilliant midfielders and all undoubtedly achieved more in their time... I can still see how someone in their mid 20s would argue Allan is the best they've seen (in terms of talent :greengrin).


Good reply though and good examples :aok:

[Billy Whizz]

Thought JD was bald now

[stu in nottingham]

Youve got to think its if not his last chance it must be close to being his last chance to live up to all that potential. Whether you use soccerbase or wiki :greengrin he's had somewhere around ten clubs in his eight year career and started around 15 games a season on average, scoring about one goal a season. Its not spectacular. His best season was with us when he was championship poty so hopefully we bring out the best in him.

Yes, it's frustrating when you see players such as him with tons of natural ability having a basically mediocre career. His talent is not in question I don't think but his decision making off the pitch most definitely is. He's 26 and should be at his peak but when you look back at his career so far it has been a series of false starts. It could be argued that his previous stay at Hibs was the most successful time of his career so far.

He seems to be a player who needs some strong guidance, the like of which a shrewd and clear-minded pro like Lennon can give him. I'm hoping it will be a good and fruitful relationship, cemented by a permanent transfer. If not, I think you're right, it's hard to see exactly where his career is going to take off.

[hibsbollah]

Thought JD was bald now

...hence i said 'late 80s'.:greengrin

[Hibbyradge]

Agreed.

Is Scott Allan my favourite ever Hibs player? No. Do I think Scott Allan has a questionable attitude? Yes.


I'm not aware of this attitude although I've seen folk discussing it.

What does he do to give that impression and has he been doing it with all his clubs?

Again - apparently wanting to go to Rangers is the only proof needed that you have an "attitude". He did absolutely nothing else during his spell at Hibs to warrant that tag.

I think this may also stem from some fuss he supposedly kicked up at United, but from what I remember I think Peter Houston made a lot of it up (no surprise there).

He could even be a 'bit of a d1ck' without having a bad attitude towards football. (not saying he's either).

1. Wanting to leave Hibs and go to Rangers. Sign of a being a bit of a dick.
2. Falling out with Peter Houston. Sign of being an all round good guy.

So very much mixed report card. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

The funny thing is that when I went there with Hibs the Rangers fans chucked toilet rolls at me every time a took a corner. Two months later they were singing: ‘Scott Allan – he’s one of our own.’” This was the “surreal, weird” summer of 2015 when, after the Championship’s player of the year couldn’t quite steer Hibs past Rangers and into the Premiership play-off final, the two clubs reconvened in the Petrofac Cup with the sideshow of Stubbs refusing to sell his star man to the promotion rivals. Hibs stuck Allan’s pretty-boy features on the cover of the programme. Rangers, whose hierarchy had bragged of their intention of getting their man “at any price”, only came up with niggardly bids. Allan started on the bench and remembers grumps from some Hibs supporters during warm-up. When he eventually appeared, with Rangers well ahead, their fans cheered his every touch. His experience that day is interesting given Rangers’ efforts to net another prize Edinburgh asset – Hearts’ Jamie Walker – with these clubs meeting this afternoon. Does Walker play? And if so what will his state of mind be like and what should be his ambition in the game? “I wanted to play the whole 90 minutes against Rangers although not to impress anyone,” Allan stresses. “If you just go out there and walk about in a situation like that it would say a lot about your character and nothing that’s very good. Even though there might be rumblings in the background a footballer should be able to put them out of his mind and play his game. You’d have a point to prove, but only to yourself. You don’t want to be the guy getting yourself a reputation. “Having said that, it was a strange, strange day for me. At the final whistle all the Rangers players were coming up and cuddling me. I don’t know what the Hibs boys thought but if I was having to watch that happening to a teammate I wouldn’t like it. There were a lot of great boys at Hibs, guys with good stories of having disappointments at other clubs like Dylan McGeouch and David Gray then turning their careers around at Easter Road, as well as others who’d been brilliant servants like Lewis Stevenson, and that summer it just became all about me which was wrong.”


...


An apoplectic Peter Houston claimed 
he’d demanded £1,600-a-week, although the Allan camp insist far less was initially requested, and a 
still smaller figure would have been acceptable. When he moved to West Bromwich Albion Allan claimed Houston threatened to “make him disappear from the earth”. Today our man says: “He told me: ‘I’ll get all them oot there [the United supporters] on your back’ and that’s what happened.” So from that moment his character was formed in more than a few people’s eyes: talented, difficult, greedy? He nods.

Good old Housty. :rolleyes:

[NAE NOOKIE]

Don't you mean 115 games in 7 years, that's over 16 games a season. Unless of course he started playing for united aged 9

Yeh yeh I know .... to you and everybody else who has pointed that out, mafs was never my strong point :greengrin

Doesn't change the fact that his appearance record is poor for a professional player, especially one who is so talented. If he can bring a new attitude and see this as the beginning of fulfilling his undoubted potential he will be a great signing for us and I will be happy to see us try to make it permanent in the summer.

I for one am willing to forget the Sevco saga .... even when it was going on he played well for us on the pitch, so to that extent Allan proved he can bring a certain amount of professionalism to his game. From what I've read of him he needs to bring that attitude to training and his interaction with team mates.

However, if this is just another throw of the dice to engineer a move to another club where he wont play but will pick up a decent wage then I will see him far enough. There's no doubt Celtic wont offer him a new contract so the big question mark over Scott Allan is, does he want to be a football player or just another imposter happy to pick up the money and achieve nothing .... time will tell I suppose.

Now I understand.

Allan's attitude stinks, right enough.

I'm never going back.

[Sir David Gray]

I'm not aware of this attitude although I've seen folk discussing it.

What does he do to give that impression and has he been doing it with all his clubs?

He had only played a few first team games at Dundee United as a youngster when he made demands for a salary that would have made him one of the highest paid players at the club. We had the carry on with him the last time he was here with him insisting on a move to Rangers and Alan Stubbs questioned his attitude when he took him on loan for Rotherham.

I think his questionable attitude is beyond doubt and I think he has the potential to go down a similar path to the one Anthony Stokes has gone down in his career.

However as Pretty Boy has said, he is a talented player and he also has the potential to make us a much better team. These kind of players are worth persevering with and taking a bit of a risk on. It obviously didn't work with Stokes and it may not work with Allan either but if it does then we have a very good player on our hands.

I don't know what happened at Rotherham or why, but Scott Allan asking for a wage rise or putting in a transfer request does not suggest a bad attitude.

The other common denominator in both those scenarios, would have been his agent.

[hibby6270]

In all the debate in this thread, there’s one aspect of Scott Allan that hasn’t been mentioned/overlooked.

His medical condition - Type 1 Diabetes.

Ability - no question of that.
Attitude - he’s a bit huffy when things don’t go his way.

Medical condition? Don’t think it can be overstated that this plays a big part in which Scott Allan turns up. It’s no secret that when he was with us first time round he was full of praise as to how the club treated him, indeed, probably compensated for him maybe not being entirely 100% on the ball every game. Have his many other clubs been as considerate? Maybe to a certain degree but if he has felt as though clubs don’t take his condition as seriously as he does, that’s where the “huffy” side of his behaviour kicks in.

If Hibs can treat him the same way they did a couple of years back, we may well see the best of Scott Allan once again. Here’s hoping.

I really am baffled at how Scott Allan is even remotely close to Stokes in attitude. Earning as much money as you possibly can in a short career is perfectly reasonable for me.

I think you need to have enough footballing ability for him to want you to play for his team.

When I read "apoplectic Peter Houston" I thought it was worth looking into.

With Houston, how do you know when he's apoplectic? His napper is permanantly tomatae red. It's hard to tell when he's just grumbling about budgets or when he's activated full-blown seethe mode.

Dog turds through the letterbox?

[woodythehibee]

We have signed a classy footballer so I'm delighted with Scotty re-signing.

He was a joy to watch previously and at times he was worth the entrance money alone.

His conduct was poor when he left but I'm sure he will address in his first HibsTv interview. His head was clearly turned with the Rangers tapping him up.

[we are hibs]

I agree to an extent re Allan, sometimes he needed to play the simple pass, but at the same time it was one of the things I loved when watching him. His first instinct when getting the ball was to try and effect the game in a positive manner. Contrast that with the much lauded Dylan McGeouch who last night spent more time passing the ball backwards than he did forwards. Maybe they could learn something from each other......


Think thats harsh on mcgeouch. He played a good ball over the top for Boyle but he couldn't get on the end of it. He's done it a few times this season actually. Can remember one for Boyle against hearts at ER and Celtic last week for Boyle

After trawling through this thread two things stick out for me.

1) Efe's 'collision' with Craig Gordon has had very interesting unintended consequences and due to a chain of events we end up with a quality midfielder.

2) If his spell is a success he becomes part of a permanent deal where McGinn goes to Celtic. We get to keep him and, hopefully, receive a decent fee.

Bitter sweet in a lot of ways, in my opinion.

[hibsbollah]

It's not the length of what you have that matters, it's what you do with it. Or so im told.

[lucky]

Allan does not have a questionable attitude, all he’s ever done is chase the cash. His performances for Hibs have been outstanding, arguably he’s the most talented player we’ve had since relegation. As such I’m delighted he’s back at Hibs but disappointed it’s only a loan deal.

Don't think any of us really thought that would be the case last summer so happy to enjoy him.whilst he is still a Hibee. And I have a feeling he may well be a makeweight in a permanent deal for Allan at end of season which if we get the Allan of 2015 back- will be a great bit of business

any idea how long he has left on his contract

[Unseen work]

Still has a year and a half on his contract iirc.

The main stumbling block will be wages as he will be on a decent wedge at Celtic.

In saying that I can’t see any other team paying anywhere close to what he is on there.

If Scott Allan had been a Hibs fanatic (like me) and was trying to work his ticket to get to play for his boyhood heroes, US, and at the same time quadruple his weekly wage,I'm quite sure we would have supported his efforts. For anyone who's thinking of booing him, get a grip! Just reaching for the tin helmet.

No, you're spot on.

It's quite saddening that people want to tarnish his character.

[--------]

Some of the hand wringing about Scott Allan I have seen elsewhere is a bit baffling to me.

I've seen a few people on a couple of platforms say they won't be back because of us signing Allan, it's the adult equivalent of a teenage girl storming out the family home and saying she's going to live with a friend. If he had have been allowed to join Rangers previously it would never have crossed my mind to walk way from Hibs and equally it's just as alien to me to say you are going to do it because he's now back. The reasoning is simple; I love Hibs more than I dislike any individual player. I've never felt I have to like every player that wears a Hibs shirt.

Anyone who watched Allan previously for us has to be aware we are potentially signing a player who can be exceptional. Is he a bit of an enigma? Does he maybe take a bit more managing than others? Might he have aspirations to leave again in the future? The answer to all 3 questions is possibly yes. However good players are often worth a little bit extra work. I'd also rather have a few players in the squad who are going to attract admiring glances and interest from elsewhere rather than a full squad of limited triers who have reached their peak at Hibs. It's about balance.

As far as I can see we have signed a good player who could have handled a difficult situation better.


"Anyone who watched Allan previously for us has to be aware we are potentially signing a player who can be exceptional. Is he a bit of an enigma? Does he maybe take a bit more managing than others? Might he have aspirations to leave again in the future?"

When I read that I thought for a moment you were writing about Willie Hamilton. He could be exceptional; he was certainly an enigma; and boy did he take more managing than the other players in that team. AND he was a former Hearts player ...

But ask anyone who saw him playing for us in the mid-60's and ask them was it right for Stein to sign him, and the answer will always be YES.

There's no doubt about Scott Allan's quality. He can play football at a very high level indeed. He's here for the rest of the season - anything else is surely speculation or wishful thinking. It's understandable in the circumstances that some will hold reservations about his arrival - after all, we've just cleared our feet of one embarrassment - are we maybe signing up another? But while he was here under Stubbs, he played regularly, and he regularly played well, and he's not the first (nor will he be the last) Hibs player to be unsettled by a lucrative approach by a member of the OF.

WH could do amazing things with a football. So can Scott.

(Though - with respect - IMO he'll never be as good as Willie was. Though I'll be delighted to be proven wrong.)

Personally I look forward to seeing him back in the green-shirts-with-white-sleeves. Even if he gives us no more than a four-month cameo, it should be worth seeing.

Welcome back, young Scott. :aok:

Yep - it's a good problem to have. It might actually help Allan having a bit of competition. Not sure he'd be played as part of a midfield 3 if we played 4-3-3 though.

He’s back and I hope he rediscovers his mojo, but the revisionism on Hibs.net is absolutely hilarious.

Scott Allan has not had a good career, given his ability, and his application has been questioned more than once.

[The Leith Dutch]

If Scott Allan had been a Hibs fanatic (like me) and was trying to work his ticket to get to play for his boyhood heroes, US, and at the same time quadruple his weekly wage,I'm quite sure we would have supported his efforts. For anyone who's thinking of booing him, get a grip! Just reaching for the tin helmet.

Absolutely spot on.

Barring some hugely improbably circumstances like spitting at our own fans or wiping your arse on the shirt nobody should *ever* be booing one of our own players.

Used to get right on my tits people booing Colin Nish. He often looked nervous and his first touch was dodgy and I suspect that wasn't helped by the palpable sensation that there were large sections of the crowd ready to boo him the second a ball bounced off his ankle or got away from him.

By all means be of the opinion that you want a different striker but while he's got the jersey on don't make him play worse.
I mean do people think he's not controlling the ball because he can't be arsed and shouting at him will result in him starting to give a ****?

On the other side I find it similarly odd wishing Cummings all the best at The Rangers. He plays for a club I despise.
I wouldn't wish an injury on him but I hope he has a terrible time as a player and that not a single thing he tries on a football pitch comes off while he's with them.

Equally, should he come back to Hibs I'd be delighted to resign a player I believe is good.

My interest in Scott Allan is not how he left, who he supports or whether he changes lanes without indicating while in bed with his missus.
My only interest is how well he kicks a ball for us and based on the period he played for us I'm hoping that's going to be very ****ing well.

Indeed one memorable season is what many are hanging on and possibly ignoring his play in all other seasons all just as relevant. I have said this is a real chance again decent sized club playing good football and willing to take on every club in this league in any given match.

Play well and I think we will try and sign him and if he has sense he should sign on here, show everyone what he can do at Hibs for 2/3 years then he will be pushing 30 and might have shown enough for one more bigger move again. It is all up to him to show he wasn't a one season wonder.

At the risk of going totally off-thread, I can remember when we have had strips with green-and-white sleeves, covering variations of sleeve ends that had solid green, five(?) bands of green interspersed with white and sleeves with broad strips of green and white of equal width. Don't let them bully you with fake facts. :greengrin

[frazeHFC]

Players come, players go. However the way Scott Allan can praise his club one minute for the way they gave him a chance, supported him, verbally commit himself to the club.....to then try and force a move to our closest league rivals not long after. Has a lot to prove.

Now there's a nightmare scenario - bloody Stokes 'managing' the Cabbage. :rolleyes:

It's sorted.

Anthony Stokes has resigned as Hibernian manager under acrimonious circumstances following a training ground bust-up with Anthony Stokes.

SunSport can exclusively reveal that Stokes had taken issue to Stokes' regularly late appearances to training and late nights out, which culminated in a heated argument at East Mains earlier this afternoon with Stokes reportedly throwing a boot at himself, only missing by inches.

Stokes was then sent on gardening leave by Stokes, resigning shortly after.

Allan and Christie will still have 12 months left on their contracts with Celtic, in the summer.

I would be surprised if they gave them both to us AND paid us money in exchange for John McGinn, who would also have 12 months left on his contract with us.

If Christie leaves Celtic to go to another club in Scotland, I would imagine it would be to Aberdeen.

I think that is a fair point, did really upset the start of our second season in the Championship, lost away to Dumbarton in the first game. Really hated the way the media was used in trying to force a move, however was impressed the way Leeanne and Stubbs held firm over the Rangers transfer, probably the first time in my lifetime we didn't give in to them. That said, Allan is a great player to watch, sees passes on the pitch that supporters can't see in the stand, so looking forward to seeing him back in a Hibs strip, a player of real quality when on his game.

[Famous Fiver]

We lost away at Dumbarton that day because they kicked us (including Scott Allan) from pillar to post and we got no protection at all from the ref. Also a thunderbolt of a free kick which was a once in a lifetime shot for player who quickly disappeared into obscurity.

Scott tried his best that day but like so many times before and since a Hibs player was targeted by the hammer throwers and nothing was done about it.

[SideBurns]

Scott Allan's was fantastic first time around but his midfield partners were Liam Craig & Scott Robertson - both very good players but neither are in the class of McGinn or McGeouch. If he can recapture that form with better footballers around him then it could be an exciting end to the season.

[eastterrace]

Funny when you look at it from Scott Allan's perspective.

Imagine where he'd be if he stayed with us as he was looking excellent in pre season and starting to add goals to his game. Consistent game time and probably a move down south to a better team than Rotherham. Less money in his pocket mind you but probably a better player with better prospects.

Glad he's back though can't wait to watch him play for us again (if this is all true).

If he had stayed we might not have won the cup as we got mcgeoch and Henderson as part of the deal and the rest is history

I had forgotten how much I liked Zemamma actually :greengrin

The others though, all brilliant midfielders and all undoubtedly achieved more in their time... I can still see how someone in their mid 20s would argue Allan is the best they've seen (in terms of talent :greengrin).

I actually felt he was in SA’s shadow a little bit and became a much better player once he’d gone.

Albeit Dylan missed a lot of games due to injuries.

Got stopped by Zibi I think. About the only thing he stopped in his whole Hibs career

Please stop speaking about Ryan Christie. We don’t have a hope in hell of signing him.

Especially not as part of a swap deal with Mcginn.

Christie is worth more and a better player than Mcginn

[HoboHarry]

Got stopped by Zibi I think. About the only thing he stopped in his whole Hibs career
Stopped my heart a few times ........

[keep the faith]

A few things worth thinking about.

Watching him with Dundee, he was like a kid up the park. Working hard, wanting the ball, a real team player loving football and celebrating goals like they had won the world cup.
He also took less than a day to agree to come back. After all the fuss around the way he left. Stokes took an entire summer to decide to sign..
I think scott allan will surprise many. Hibs are a good fit for him and I for one hope he can settle here way beyond his loan.
Let's get started at the weekend Scotty!!

"Anyone who watched Allan previously for us has to be aware we are potentially signing a player who can be exceptional. Is he a bit of an enigma? Does he maybe take a bit more managing than others? Might he have aspirations to leave again in the future?"

When I read that I thought for a moment you were writing about Willie Hamilton. He could be exceptional; he was certainly an enigma; and boy did he take more managing than the other players in that team. AND he was a former Hearts player ...

But ask anyone who saw him playing for us in the mid-60's and ask them was it right for Stein to sign him, and the answer will always be YES.

There's no doubt about Scott Allan's quality. He can play football at a very high level indeed. He's here for the rest of the season - anything else is surely speculation or wishful thinking. It's understandable in the circumstances that some will hold reservations about his arrival - after all, we've just cleared our feet of one embarrassment - are we maybe signing up another? But while he was here under Stubbs, he played regularly, and he regularly played well, and he's not the first (nor will he be the last) Hibs player to be unsettled by a lucrative approach by a member of the OF.

WH could do amazing things with a football. So can Scott.

(Though - with respect - IMO he'll never be as good as Willie was. Though I'll be delighted to be proven wrong.)

Personally I look forward to seeing him back in the green-shirts-with-white-sleeves. Even if he gives us no more than a four-month cameo, it should be worth seeing.

Welcome back, young Scott. :aok:.....spot on..............:aok:

Interesting question. Which is the whole point of the internet:greengrin

Where does booing come from? The first written record comes from ancient Greece. At the annual Festival of Dionysia in Athens, playwrights competed to determine whose tragedy was the best. When the democratic reformer Cleisthenes (http://www.pbs.org/empires/thegreeks/characters/cleisthenes_p1.html) came to power in the sixth century B.C., audience participation came to be regarded as a civic duty. The audience applauded to show its approval and shouted and whistled to show displeasure.


In ancient Rome, jeering was common at the gladiatorial games, where audience participation often determined whether a competitor lived or died. According to the OxfordEnglish Dictionary, the Latin verb explodere means "to drive out by clapping, hiss (a player) off the stage."

While people have expressed displeasure publicly since ancient times, the English word boo was first used in the early 19th century to describe the lowing sound that cattle make. Later in the 1800s, the word came to be used to describe the disapproving cry of crowds. Hoot, another onomatopoeic English word, was used as early as 1225 to describe the same phenomenon. (Ancient Greek and Latin both contain words resembling boo that mean "to cry or shout aloud," though there is no known etymological connection to the modern English word.)

For what its worth. Do i think the blue weegies are worse than the green ones? Damn right i do. Any decent human should.
Is it because i have any feelings towards celtc. Like hell it is. Probably my 5th most disliked side in Scotland.

Said it before. And always happy to say it again.

Celtc = Annoying, patronising, irritating, delusional, bloated, greedy, self important.
If they were an ailment i'd consider them an STD.

Derhun = Also greedy and self important. But backward, nasty, violent, bullies, poisonous, bigots. A stain on humanity.
Cancer! Absolute f***in' cancer.

Detesting derhun more than anyone else doesnt make you pro celtc. That would be like backing up the view of Scottish football down south...if your not one you are the other. Like they are the only two teams that count.

It does not stop me recognising that derhun monkeys are the embodiment of everything that is wrong with society in Scotland.

Anyway. 'Mon Scotty. Welcome back get out there and do the biz for the good guys.

You’re the biggest Celtic sympathiser on hereYou are trying too hard man, maybe take a break, observe for a bit, come up with some new trolls.



Why Griffiths?Why not? Good player for us on loan, not the big Hibs fan this place likes to believe he is, horrible Celtic mutant now.

Are people STILL whining about Scott Allan?

And anyone who thinks Leigh isn't still a massive and in the blood Hibs fan is utterly at it. Big difference between where you earn your wages and where your heart is.

[bigwheel]

Interesting question. Which is the whole point of the internet:greengrin

Where does booing come from? The first written record comes from ancient Greece. At the annual Festival of Dionysia in Athens, playwrights competed to determine whose tragedy was the best. When the democratic reformer Cleisthenes (http://www.pbs.org/empires/thegreeks/characters/cleisthenes_p1.html) came to power in the sixth century B.C., audience participation came to be regarded as a civic duty. The audience applauded to show its approval and shouted and whistled to show displeasure.


In ancient Rome, jeering was common at the gladiatorial games, where audience participation often determined whether a competitor lived or died. According to the OxfordEnglish Dictionary, the Latin verb explodere means "to drive out by clapping, hiss (a player) off the stage."

While people have expressed displeasure publicly since ancient times, the English word boo was first used in the early 19th century to describe the lowing sound that cattle make. Later in the 1800s, the word came to be used to describe the disapproving cry of crowds. Hoot, another onomatopoeic English word, was used as early as 1225 to describe the same phenomenon. (Ancient Greek and Latin both contain words resembling boo that mean "to cry or shout aloud," though there is no known etymological connection to the modern English word.)


Boo..hah


A new linguistics study has revealed that the word 'boo' is most likely to have originated in the country after its earliest reference was found in the religious works of two Scottish writers in the 18th century.
Its first recorded use comes in the Scotch Presbyterian Eloquence Display'd, written by Gilbert Crokatt and John Monroe under the pseudonym of Jacob Curate in 1738.
It is defined as 'a word that's used in the north of Scotland to frighten crying children'.
Scots poet and novelist Sir Walter Scott also made reference to the sound in his series of essays titled Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft from 1830.
He wrote 'we start and are afraid when we hear one cry Boh!' defining it as an 'an exclamation intended to surprise or frighten'.
The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) says 'bo' or 'boh' comes from the sixteenth century, but its exact sense is not always clear.
David Robinson, a linguist from Glasgow University, who works on the origins of English, said: 'There is a tendency to consider words like this as slang and unimportant, and not to trace their origins.

I am not personally offended by his actions, I just dont understand why this place is desperately trying to convince themselves he deeply cares, he is just another football player who follows the money, he isnt some champion for Hibs, he is a Celtic player. He can do what he likes, he'll get no credit from me while he plays for that disgusting club, though.

Stevenson is not making enough to have financial security post-football. Leigh probably is, at least for a while. It’s not a long career, and making as much as you possibly can is the smartest thing to do, and what everyone here (apart from yourself, of course) would opt to do.

Cant really comment on Stanton as I know nothing about how he left Hibs. Did he leave after his prime and Hibs were okay with it? He was here for years and lifted a trophy, comparing im to Griffiths is probably not right.

Riordan left us on a free to sit on bench for 2/3 years, his mistake and he came back. Had no time for him when he was with Celtic either.

[Pretty Boy]

It's easy to pontificate about who players should and shouldn't play for when you aren't in the position yourself. In my mind it seems perfectly possible that Leigh Griffiths can be both a Hibs supporter and a professional athlete who earns his living elsewhere and performs accordingly. Everyone is entitles to maximise their earnings and attempt to forge as successful a career as they can, in the case of LG he couldn't achieve everything he aspires to at Hibs. I heard Pat Stanton speak last year and he was asked about how difficult it had been to leave Hibs for Celtic. He admitted their was a part of him that found it tough because of his allegiances but professionally it was the right decision. He wasn't getting on with the manager and it allowed him to win a couple of major trophies before he retired.

I would never question if Pat Stanton is a Hibs fan, of course he is. He also happened to be a very talented footballer who was offered an exciting opportunity in the twilight of his career. Leigh Griffiths isn't all that different. He's a Hibs fan but he's also an ambitious footballer. Would Griffiths have the medal he has and the cap he has had he stayed at Hibs? I think we all know the answer to that. I like Leigh Griffiths not because he plays for Celtic nor because he supports Hibs but rather because at a time when watching Hibs was often absolutely ****ing rubbish he was an exciting talent that often lit up otherwise dull games, I'll always be grateful to him for that.

[WhileTheChief..]

I retracted it almost immediately and admitted to it being a knee jerk reaction to the derby defeat, or did you not get that far?

An outbreak of sanity:agree: I guess 90% of people would agree with all of that.

There is an issue of as a player, how you leave Hibs. If you speak well of the club to the media, like Whittaker, or give your bonus to the clubs youth development, like O'Connor, it helps to make the fans feel less let down. On the other hand, not all players have left the club in the right way and people are entitled to feel let down by that. But i confidentally predict there will be no significant booing of Scott Allan.

[Captain Trips]

There are players whom support Hibs who are not good enough to play for us and never will be, there are players who support Hibs good enough and we can get in if required and then there are the ones whom support Hibs as much as the other 2 types but can play at a higher level.

“Scott Allan wanted to go,” explained McCann. “He heard Hibs were interested and he asked to go. As talented as Scott is, I do not want players at my club that do not want to play for my club. He is a great boy, a fantastic footballer. I have a lot of time for him. But when he suggested he wanted to go, then that was it.”

He was on loan to a bog standard team at Dundee scrapping for relegation, why would he not want to come here to a club he knows, with our crowds and vying for a European place in the league.

Remember he's still a Celtic player and he doesn't have to go on loan to anybody.

An exclamation mark to imply that you’re joking? Pretty stupid idea!

:top marks:not worth

He was on loan to a bog standard team at Dundee scrapping for relegation, why would he not want to come here to a club he knows, with our crowds and vying for a European place in the league.

It's tongue in cheek.

Maybe use a different smiley then instead of the rolling eyes one, like this one. :devil:

A Hibs player forcing a move to that vermin deserves all the abuse he gets IMO. He'll get my full support now but he earned the abuse as well.


As proven before.. Had he forced the Celtic move first he'd be far more easily forgiven.. too many with Celtic sympathies amongst our support.Both posts spot on.

Sorry I'm sure

[Northernhibee]

No he’s no. He was only on loan to them...

Anyhow let’s move on. Boo him if you need to get it out of the system, but then let’s get behind the team.

Much as I can't stand Scott Allan, I won't be booing him. I don't like that he's back in the Hibs shirt but he's in the Hibs shirt and I'll be supporting the team.

Sorry I'm sure

If in doubt stick an exclamation mark at the end, like this!

Great bit of business by Hibs.

Send Allan to Celtic followed by a guy that hasn't played for us.
Get back money, McGeough and Henderson on loan and then a bit down the line bring Allan back.

[GoalsMcGinley]

He’s only gone and picked the number 23 as well. Can see the seethe from Ibrox already [emoji23][emoji23]

👍 Add in the fact that the 2 players we got were instrumental in helping us win the cup and it looks like the best deal ever! 😂

Exactly. People have to remember that we funded the purchases of McGinn and McGeough on the back of Allan going to Celtic. Also got Henderson on loan.

Those players all played a significant role in winning the cup. So it worked out fine in the end.

Strange to think we could see McGinn, McGeough and Allan all in the Hibs midfield together. Never thought that would happen.

When we beat St Johnstone in the League Cup Semi at Tynecastle, Scott was in the Hibs end (the old rickety stand at Tynecastle at the time) cheering on the Hibs.

A lot of people on here have no clue what they're talking about - the boy forced through the move as soon as he heard Hibs were interested. It's time to welcome home a talented baller

#23 welcome back, it's time to shine

Now that's a positive story. I'm very happy he's back; if (okay, a big if) we can get the best out of him we can look forward to a bloody good end to the season.

Anyone over the age of 16 that seriously would boo there own player has mental issues imo the saddest of sadacts. I'm embarrassed for them

Think John and Allan played a small part together, on that memorable day we had at Dumbarton. Can’t remember if Dylan played

We got Dylan as part of the Allan deal so naw he wasn't!
