Transfer window bingo

[Hibbyradge]

2020 edit: I originally posted this one year ago to the day and it's good to see this year's transfer thread has just about managed to achieve a full house already!

Twas ever thus.

We read the same remarks every window and we see the same responses to them. January or July, it's exactly the same.

So, rather than get frustrated at the predictability of it all, I thought it might help keep blood pressures from rising by making light of it with a wee game.

What words, phrases and clichés will we see on the boards before the end of the window?

I'll start with "Why don't Hibs ever get players in early?"

[calumhibee1]

"Good players don't become available until the end of the window."

[J-C]

Biggest ever budget

[matty_f]

Penny pinching

[WoreTheGreen]

Faster than AOB on a motorbike

[PatHead]

It is Petrie in charge of transfers.

Doesn't matter if they are internationals.

Hibs are too slow.

[04Sauzee]

Could do a job

[calumhibee1]

“Would anyone take Deek back?”

[04Sauzee]

Boy looks good on YouTube

[Haymaker]

:hyper

[matty_f]

Underwhelmed

[Billy Whizz]

Not Hibs class

[Hibbyradge]

FFS, another midfielder?

[Barney McGrew]

Sorry haven’t been keeping up - has Gauld/Allan signed yet?

[matty_f]

Patience

£150k

Difficult window to sign players

[stantonhibby]

Meh

[Hibbyradge]

Show some ambition, Hibs!

[Barney McGrew]

Don’t shoot the messenger but.......

[bingo70]

Just had a text.......

[HappyAsHellas]

Bargain basement

[WoreTheGreen]

Just bought a stake bake and......

[MSK]

Cannae believe Albion Rovers have signed 7 players and we havent signed anybody, **** scouting network we have

[Hibbyradge]

We've got important games coming up ...

[calumhibee1]

With Kamberi now out for the season we will need at least 2, probably 3 strikers.

[Wee Effen Bee]

‘Not for me thanks’

‘So, you haven’t seen him play but you have already decided he’s shegite/brilliant’

’Dinnae shoot the messanger’

’I was talking to a guy who lives next door to...’

[HappyAsHellas]

We dodged a bullet there.......

[bingo70]

“According to twitter/Facebook/Instagram.........”








(Even typing that sentence annoys me)

[Hibbyradge]

Bottom 6

Top 4

[PatHead]

He is past it. (means he is over 30)

[matty_f]

He is past it. (means he is over 30)

Legs have gone. :agree:

[bingo70]

He is past it. (means he is over 30)

‘Legs have gone’ is the correct phrase for anyone over 30 I believe

[Hibeesmad]

He was seen at the training ground

[PatHead]

We couldn't afford him.

[PatHead]

‘Legs have gone’ is the correct phrase for anyone over 30 I believe

Sorry, reached the age where my memory has gone.

[Hibbyradge]

Not another loan?

What's the point of a loan?

I hate loans.

[calumhibee1]

Has anybody seen much of him the last couple of years?

[Forza Fred]

It’s the same every year

[04Sauzee]

He's just started following Gauld on Instagram

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Signed for Sunderland

[fat freddy]

Hearts will offer more once Levein hears that the guy is 6ft 12"

[Hibbyradge]

A cheese and pickle baguette, 4 packets of monster munch, 2 Yorkies, one twix, a curly wurly, and a crate of Punk IPA.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Just seen coming out of Greggs in Easter Road

[flash]

Ah but what's his website like?

[Brummie_Hibs]

International clearance takes time.

[ShadesLongThrow]

Do we really want another internationalist.

[matty_f]

Two weeks until he's fit

[matty_f]

Do we really want another internationalist.

I think you'll find it's not internationalist but "internationalist".

[3pm]

My thoughts exactly...

[hibbydog]

Lennon will not stand for this

[WoreTheGreen]

Pound for pound...

[Heisenberg]

The patter about a player being spotted on the 26 bus will likely come out at some point.

[04Sauzee]

Could he fill the Matty Jack roll

[IGRIGI]

At least we now have Yogi's goalkeeping school!

[Hibbyradge]

Petrie penny pinching again. :grr:

[The Harp Awakes]

Another journeyman

[Smartie]

I'm hearing that (insert former Hibs player's name here) is in line for a return to Easter Road.......




Followed by......





:hyper

[Weegreenman]

Petrie, get yer finger oot ffs! :greengrin

[Captain Trips]

Who?

[Hibbyradge]

When does the window slam shut?

[Alfiembra]

Are you ITK?

[Brummie_Hibs]

Looks good on his YouTube showreel.

He has the same agent as...

[Hibbyradge]

Natalie Sawyer :drool:

[04Sauzee]

He would absolutely skoosh this league

[G15 Hibs]

Most important window in years

[JimBHibees]

Why can't we sign players as good as Hearts have?

[One Day Soon]

The Board haven't backed Lennon.

Lennon is sending a message to the Board.

He's only had one decent window.

This is what happens when Petrie won't allow others to invest in the club.

How can Aberdeen outspend us?

How can Hearts outspend us?

We've spent nowhere near what we took in for McGinn and record season tickets.

We should have spent whatever it took to get Scott Allan.

You can say what you like about Hearts but....

Can't believe some people say Lennon is a winner.

We'll finish top 4 now.

Why are we signing/not signing Jason?

[Keith_M]

What happened to the SJM money?

[H18S NX]

Tried our best

[Brummie_Hibs]

If he can get back to the form he had before his injury setbacks

[Hibbyradge]

I'm buzzing now.

[madabouthibs]

Petrie out!
(Usually near the end of the window)

[Keith_M]

With signings like that, we'll win the league by April!

[Eyrie]

We only try to sign ex-Celtc players. What's wrong with our scouting?

[My_Wife_Camille]

Can we give players a chance to sign before writing them off?

[jingler1954]

We read the same remarks every window and we see the same responses to them. January or July, it's exactly the same.

So, rather than get frustrated at the predictability of it all, I thought it might help keep blood pressures from rising by making light of it with a wee game.

I'll start with "Why don't Hibs ever get players in early?"

[Squealing pig]

Source?

[Pretty Boy]

'Apologies for the Record link'

'Can someone copy and paste for those of us who refuse to read that rag'

'I'm not clicking that link'

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Ltyf

[wpj]

Pish website/wiki page

[Peevemor]

I got a text ...

[TheHarpy76]

Player rumoured to sign for us: This would be a brilliant signing, make this happen Hibs.

Signs for another team: Meh, he wasn’t really what we needed anyway.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Will be announced 5pm Friday

[SirDavidsNapper]

Twitter says....

[we are hibs]

"Pant wetters all over this thread"


"Do you know anything about running a football club?"

[BH Hibs]

He’s great on FM or FIFA etc

[Renton1875]

Scott Allan's only interested in the money.

[Here’s Lucy!]

Ah wurk wi a Jambo hoo says....

[bigwheel]

His agent is Gordon Smith, Ex Rangers

[Billy Whizz]

Need players out before we can sign new ones

[Hamish]

Be the usual panic loan signings on Jan 31.

[04Sauzee]

Only scores 10 goals in 126 games going by his Wiki page. Hardly prolific

[Viva_Palmeiras]

What exactly do the player identification bods do ... oh really they had extended clip by DR you say)?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Matty Jack type role

[Mixu62]

Could he still do a job for us?

[Libby Hibby]

100% This.

[Greencore]

26 bus....


Jack Ross is apparently interested in (players name)

[Hibbyradge]

Any news yet?

[04Sauzee]

This in spades

[Smartie]

"Hibs better bloody sign someone soon, this place is getting worse by the day........"

(You could probably stick this on any thread at the moment, or any thread during any transfer window when Hibs have gone 10 days without signing anyone).

[Brummie_Hibs]

I trust Neil's judgement

[04Sauzee]

What's Ryan Gauld actually done in the last 4 years !

[green with envy]

What's Ryan Gauld actually done in the last 4 years !

Signed for Hibernian FC today. Should bring a smile to your face - thought not.

[04Sauzee]

Signed for Hibernian FC today. Should bring a smile to your face - thought not.

Why do you think not?

[green with envy]

Why do you think not?

The negativity of your post.

[CropleyWasGod]

The negativity of your post.

Whoosh? :greengrin

[04Sauzee]

The negativity of your post.

Sorry thought I was playing Transfer Window Bingo.


Those were not my thoughts on the transfer!

[Hibbyradge]

The negativity of your post.

:hilarious

We need a "Whoosh" smiley!

[jacomo]

:faf:

:fishin:

[IGRIGI]

If we're going to get Scott Alan it's going to be at the end of the window.

[Hibbyradge]

Best transfer window ever.

Can't wait for us to start climbing the league.

3 weeks into the window and only one senior player signed. What a way to run s football club.

[duffers]

I see Sunderland are also interested in....

[Wilson]

Underwhelmed.

[Diclonius]

Underwhelmed.

Still remember the day I personally started that catchphrase, the day we signed Mark Oxley on loan. :grr:

[matty_f]

Still remember the day I personally started that catchphrase, the day we signed Mark Oxley on loan. :grr:

That's "Scottish Cup Winning Mark Oxley" to give him his full title... :greengrin

[My_Wife_Camille]

Still remember the day I personally started that catchphrase, the day we signed Mark Oxley on loan. :grr:
Pretty sure it was the word of the day when we signed Colin Calderwood

[Liberal Hibby]

I'll drive him there myself.

(esp regarding interest in Stephen Whittaker)

[Wakeyhibee]

Good engine

Scored a barrowload into the Irish 2nd tier

[Hibbyradge]

This place will go into meltdown :rolleyes:

[Hibbyradge]

I originally posted this one year ago to the day and it's good to see this year's transfer thread has just about managed to achieve a full house already!

Twas ever thus.

[Sweet Left Peg]

When does the window slam shut?

[WeeRussell]

I really think "lack of ambition" should be introduced for 2020. Apologies if its already in there, just had a quick scan.

Oh. and "Dylan"

[Hibbyradge]

Ambition is already there.

Dylan needs added.

[HappyAsHellas]

They've offered how much for Vela?

[Jones28]

Describing any of the summer incomers as a “Hecky dud”

[Max_Shah]

Sorry CBA reading through the thread but I would respectfully submit the following:

"...Heckingbottom peed our budget up the wall in the summer..."

Accept any variation of "Dross from down south" or "...lol wur skint guiz..."


Bonus points for mentioning HSL :paid: and/or mentioning Leeann.

EDIT - Sorry mods. I did not realize the "paid" emoji was so large!! :doh: :na na:
