Whittaker away?

[Monts]

Have seen on Twitter that Whittaker has gone too.

Anyone confirm?

[SRHibs]

Joining his legs?

[Heisenberg]

Joining his legs?

Wow 😂

[greenpaper55]

Joining his legs? Brilliant.

[FitbaFolkKen]

TheCat confirmed on twitter, interesting one if true.

TBH I’d be delighted if it were true but what a right old mess we’re in. Lennon hasn’t exactly done too well on the man management front!

[hibee_girl]

Must have missed him getting a job at Hibs 👀

[J-C]

Whittaker seemed to be Lennon's teachers pet, no matter how bad he still got picked or a place on the bench, tbh if he's also gone it'll make no odds to me, decent bloke but was way past it football wise.

[FitbaFolkKen]

Must have missed him getting a job at Hibs 👀

Haha i was just dropping it in to see if it would take off :fishin::fishin::fishin:

Any need to have a dig at someone who doesn't come on here anymore, he can't reply to the sarcy comments. Freddie has a good few contacts through agents and players, if something serious has happened then Freddie will probably have got a text about it.

He’s not banned from here so he’s perfectly able to reply to anything he wants.

[ForeverHibs93]

Joining his legs?

Quality 😂! No great loss on the footballing front in all honesty. Well past his sell by date, seemed like a decent bloke but his time at this level was done IMO. I think he was one of our more high earning players wasn’t he? With a bit of time left on the contract, wonder if we’ve paid that up or what’s happened

We’re surprisingly quiet considering how many sources seem to have ran with the story.

[Hi Heid Yin]

If true, then I'd be delighted. Whittaker's best days are well, well behind him.
He is an honest pro and deserves respect for trying his best for us, but sadly, he has lost both his pace and his ability to impact games at SPL level.

Agreed. His info was usually in point. Has he left the forum though? How come if so?

[BullsCloseHibs]

Whittaker won't be missed. Finished as a player two years ago. Would be on a decent salary too.

[ForeverHibs93]

Agreed. His info was usually in point. Has he left the forum though? How come if so?

He doesn’t post on here anymore because of the slaughtering folk get in the rumours thread for funnily enough... posting rumours! So he said on twitter where he’s still active.

[Northernhibee]

We need all the cover we can get just now, but also not a clue why he’s on a three year deal.

[Lemonade]

TheCat confirmed on twitter, interesting one if true.

He has not confirmed it. He said he heard and goes on to say “if true”

Still mental though .

[stoneyburn hibs]

I really wish people would stop trotting out this pish, simply not true.

TBH I’d be delighted if it were true but what a right old mess we’re in. Lennon hasn’t exactly done too well on the man management front!

Less players. Yaay.

Just what we need for a rip roaring finish to the season.

Anyone got a spare ticket for Tynecadtle?

[allmodcons]

What a brutal thread. Show the guy some respect ffs. A bit of humility wouldn't go amiss now and again.

That might be what he says, but he's just saying face, I'm afraid.

Did ye see the school boy defending against Motherwell? Calling Whittaker a player is stretching the truth a bit I’d say. Awful signing and how he gets in before Gray is beyond me.

[Lemonade]

Freddie Whyte

[B.H.F.C]

Whittaker is one of the players we need to step up and hold things together this weekend. Not so much on the pitch, but off it. The most experienced player in the squad. I’d imagine he’s well respected by the rest of them.

[Diclonius]

He has not confirmed it. He said he heard and goes on to say “if true”

Still mental though .

big if true

[The 90+2]

Whittaker was a great player for us and made us good money. It’s a shame he’s now past it but he’s a player that doesn’t deserve to be slaughtered completely.

[scotia44]

For all we know whitty could be doing us a favour maybe he has called out lennons selections/tactics as said earlier the guy didn't deliberately play poorly but it's the supporters way to find someone to boo

[J-C]

He’s not banned from here so he’s perfectly able to reply to anything he wants.


I know he's not banned but you also know he chooses not to come on here, why don't you go onto his twitter page and slag him off, then he could reply, you're an admin and really should know better than that.

[marinello59]

Any need to have a dig at someone who doesn't come on here anymore, he can't reply to the sarcy comments. Freddie has a good few contacts through agents and players, if something serious has happened then Freddie will probably have got a text about it.

Yet he felt free to slag off the Admin team here on Twitter despite most of us not being signed up there. We are pretty good at dealing with any claims of bullying so if he had felt that was the case he could have reported any posts he felt crossed the line.
He is still signed up here and can reply if he wants.

[scotia44]

Asks more questions of lennon than whittaker but you keep up the positive approach

[hibee_girl]

I am an admin which is why I haven’t said anymore.

I’m also 100% sure Freddie can fight his own battles should he want to. There’s plenty other things on here to be worried about tonight.

[CMurdoch]

Joining his legs?

This is the correct humorous response to the OP.
Surely this is a joke/wishful thinking on the part of some folk.

[FitbaFolkKen]

He has not confirmed it. He said he heard and goes on to say “if true”

He replied to one with "he's been sacked :)" maybe edited or deleted?

[Lex7zero]

Spot on . Whittakeris Is a good pal of Lenny whilst he didn't like Gray. An immature manager that lost the plot and the dressing room long ago. Every time Lennon played Whittaker it told any fan with football knowledge that he had lost the plot.

[21.05.2016]

Whittakers career is well over anyway. Has the odd moment now and again but that isn't good enough.

He's had a good career and I thank him for his services to the club, especially in his first spell when he was part of a great crop of young players who played some truly wonderful stuff and of course brought home the first piece of silverware to ER in 16 years.

Thank you for the memories Steven but it really is time to call it a day.

[wookie70]

Less players. Yaay.

I think we might now have the chance of another trip there this season

[tamig]

Was that the same in the games Whittaker played in during the good run of last season?

[Mr Grieves]

Is It just me thinking Whittaker hasn't been the problem this season? I would rather have Gray at right back but Whittaker has been reliable even when played out of position

[Daydreamer]

I know he's not banned but you also know he chooses not to come on here, why don't you go onto his twitter page and slag him off, then he could reply, you're an admin and really should know better than that.

I said already on here that a senior professional player (who I am friendly with) who's name he was using on here had strong words with freddy and in no uncertain terms told him never to use his name or imply he was getting gossip from him. That player had met him once for 5 minutes at a function and had never spoke to him ever again. I can assure you he was making things up.

[The 90+2]

He was a disaster area on Weds? Targettted all year by other teams.

Try watching rugby as you obviously don't understand football. One of the main reasons Lennon is going is because he continually played Whittaker ahead of Gray. If you can't see that then please go watch another sport.

Is this a joke? Gray has been injured. This might help: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47006672

I’ve also heard similar from a current player (maybe the same one) and a former player too.

Why’s he been sitting on the bench then while playing a player ho recently had a dislocated knee cap keeping him on the pitch after the event Happened?

[SRHibs]

Why’s he been sitting on the bench then while playing a player ho recently had a dislocated knee cap keeping him on the pitch after the event Happened?

He had to put him on the bench even while injured because Lennon only had 3 fit senior players and was using 15 academy players.

[Mr Grieves]

He was a disaster area on Weds? Targettted all year by other teams.

Is he responsible for where we are just now?

[Lex7zero]

For all we know whitty could be doing us a favour maybe he has called out lennons selections/tactics as said earlier the guy didn't deliberately play poorly but it's the supporters way to find someone to boo
You are having a laugh surely. Whittaker is the worst ever
We have all witnessed in a long time. I had to listen to Motherwell TV laughing at how bad he is. Whittaker was a drinking buddy with Lennon and Lennon disliked David Gray.

Welcome back Sir David Gray the lunatics have left the asylum and you can now give us a chance at top 6

[Lex7zero]

Asks more questions of lennon than whittaker but you keep up the positive approach
Asks questions of both of them. Whittaker is an absolute embarrassment and Lennon kept picking him. For that reason alone he is welcome to go. Anyone who watched the Motherwell game knew that Lennon had lost the plot both in terms of team selection and substitutes.

Tommy Wright please

He had a bad game on Wednesday, but he's been fairly reliable this season.

[tamig]

Well, I've never felt more patronised. By a clown, no less :rolleyes:

:agree::greengrin

[The 90+2]

Is he responsible for where we are just now?

Not individually no. The giving him a massive contract and continuous playing him is a massive part of where we are now though.

[The 90+2]

He had to put him on the bench even while injured because Lennon only had 3 fit senior players and was using 15 academy players.

He didn’t have to do anything. But regardless it still doesn’t explain having two left backs on the bench playing Hanlon out of position dropping Slivka and playing Porteous. If anything okay McGregor right back? Is Gray definitely injured? I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t make a miraculous recover and plays from the start on Sunday, driving us forward and we get a result. Maybe Ryan Gauld May not be on the right midfield also, you never know.

[we are hibs]

He had to put him on the bench even while injured because Lennon only had 3 fit senior players and was using 15 academy players.

Gray has been fit for weeks.

[neil7908]

Gray played 45 minutes in Dubai.

[green day]

He doesn’t post on here anymore because of the slaughtering folk get in the rumours thread for funnily enough... posting rumours! So he said on tower where he’s still active.

Its not as simple as being "slaughtered for posting rumours"

He took the huff because of the Scott Allan stuff he posted at the end of the summer window.

To summarise - he came on the PM board and said that he knew for a fact that the Allan deal was nailed, but that Dempster had pulled it last minute, Scott Allan was raging at us etc. But that he wouldnt go "public" with that, that it would all come out in the media etc etc.

10 minutes later, he posted that detail on the Main Board, cue some radges abusing Dempster on Twitter etc - some pretty nasty stuff.

Me and a few others told him he was irresponsible to do that, especially when it wasnt clear what had happened or even if there was a deal about to happen.

Later still, he came on and said "actually, it wasnt Dempsters doing"..................

So, after telling the world that Dempster was "at fault", her being abused on Twitter, people telling him it was irresponsible - he took the huff and hasnt posted since.

If I read last nights stuff correctly, apparently he posted something on Twitter then deleted it..........................sounding all too familiar?

If you are genuinely ITK, then thats fine, but you need to take some responsibility - and understand there are potential consequences to your online ramblings.

I was only repeating what I seen on Twitter when someone asked about .net and his postings here.

I don’t know the ins and outs of this particular one but some of the stick folk get for posting roomers is ridiculous, at the end of the day they’re just rumours - some folk go in these gossip threads just to moan about the speculation. Anyway, I’m going off topic.

As I say, I’m just repeating what I seen on Twitter.

[Beefster]

Tommy Wright please

We should go the whole hog and get Mogadon Miller back.

[CapitalGreen]

What if he was right, that Allan was to sign, along with Ryan Christie who had also agreed to come on loan.

He confessed he had been wrong though.

[BobMilne]

Freddie Whyte

Cheers pal. Found him

[CentreLine]

Back on subject.
OP suggests rumours that Whittaker is gone too. Absolutely nothing else seems to have come to light so far to say it’s true. Is there any update on this at all? Let’s face it, if it is true it suggests much deeper problems in the first team pool than a change of manager will quickly fix. This has Butcer proportions written all over it.

Oh! And I miss the Cat

[JimBHibees]

What a brutal thread. Show the guy some respect ffs. A bit of humility wouldn't go amiss now and again.

Agree absolutely brutal chat

[confused]

Past his best as a player , but knows the game , can cover a few positions in our time of need , and I don’t think he was on huge wages , maybe getting the same money for 3 yrs as he was offered for 2 yrs , just benefiting on tax etc,

[BoomtownHibees]

He’s not been sacked or suspended

[matty_f]

Whittaker is still far from being a bad player. He gets a ridiculous amount of undeserved stick.

[B.H.F.C]

Might end up picking the team tomorrow.

[Brightside]

Whitts biggest issue is Lennon playing him week in week out, and suggesting hes the only player that wants to play. He a good experienced cover player. Not a RB at top level.

[Weegreenman]

Asks more questions of lennon than whittaker but you keep up the positive approach

Nae bother :aok:

[JimBHibees]

Couldn't agree more technically still one of our best players.

Fair summary 👍
