Today's games

[Northernhibee]

It's almost like Neil Lennon is nowhere near as good a football manager as folk on here make him out to be, and actually inherited a very good, Stubbs-assembled squad that he slowly weakened over time.
It’s fine. Seeing as how they’re drawing he will pretend to be an aeroplane or go “waaaaay” at the opposition fans and he’ll be fine again.

[Jim44]

Celtic are not direct enough up front. I fancy Sevco to steal this.

[hibbytam]

First shot on or off target, 62 minutes in and they score

Sounds like so many hibs games under Lennon.

[Hibbyradge]

Celtic are not direct enough up front. I fancy Sevco to steal this.

12/1 with bet365.

[cleanyman]

You can see the difference with Lennon and Rodgers already

[hibby6270]

I thought Edwards had been sent of about 8 times in his career. John madsen might be one not sure who other one would be without looking it up

You might be right about Edwards. I hadnt taken his Dunfermline record into account. Maybe that’s why his cumulative record got him such lengthy suspensions when at Hibs.

John madden - no - but you’ve got the first initial of the first name correct.:wink:

[Diclonius]

Lennon continuing his recent excellent derby record.

[Since452]

Celtic for 8th next season if they keep wee Lenny

[AgentDaleCooper]

gambled on tierney, resulting in a longer injury...bit like with porteous.

[Hibbyradge]

That was the chance 😯😯😯

[Brightside]

Not putting Burke on was madness. Lennon nowhere near what Celtic will demand. They are being schooled by 10 men.

[Diclonius]

[GlesgaeHibby]

Jack should score

[cabbageandribs1875]

think sellick will settle for a draw here :greengrin

[we are hibs]

Lennon is showing here why he isn't half as good as some think. Been caught out playing injured players again just like porteous. No consideration of their careers.

[hibsbollah]

Lennon's used all his subs. Schoolboy management.

[Diclonius]

Looks like Lennon was the Collins to Stubbs' Mowbray.

[Hibbyradge]

Rangers in to 11/2 from 12/1.

[Borderhibbie76]

i felt that was coming. i genuinely think lennon lost something after that hearts game last season and he's not got it back. so many pointless punts into the box with players failing to give options to those on the ball...reminds me of us in his last 3 months.It's like watching us under him Oct to Jan this season slow one paced and zero threat up front

No. Not Stein. I’ve never forgiven him for going to Rangers.

Around that era. To be fair one of the red cards was while played as a ‘guest’ player in America but he was still a registered Hibs player.

Halliday and Morelos will definitely miss midweek. Kent will probably be ok unless Sevco just accept his ban, assuming of course that he gets offered a ban by the compliance officer. I'm expecting at least 4 matches for what he did.

[gringojoe]

Players get off lightly nowadays for red cards. Made me think back on “Hibs hotheads” back in the day.
Wee Alex Edwards was always a target and he “bought it” a few times. He was only sent off 3 times though but back then you were suspended for a number of weeks depending on what your disciplinary record was previously. If memory serves me right, Alex used to be out for weeks at a time.

Secondary question, who has accumulated the most red cards in a Hibs jersey?
There are 2 players equal on 5 as far as I can see. One you might expect, the other probably not.

Without looking it up (because I’ve already done so) who do you think they are?

Jackie Mac was sent off three times in a match at Love Street, must have got another 2 over the years

Remember last season when they had the Man U boy on loan. He got injured and hearts pushed him back into fitness, a second assessment at Man U and the boy was out for the rest of the season

Shocking deference in that. I’m amazed Man U loaned him back after that

I think the fact he is a terrible player meant Man U were just happy to have him out the door.

I'm a Cardiff fan. Absolutely raging about that game.

Referee was unbelievable. There were 2 clear pens not given. The first one was ridiculous h e almost pulled Morrisons shirt off.

The equaliser was miles offside and only gives Rudiger a booking when it should have been a red.

Also towards the end Morrison being pulled all over the place outside the box. Ref ignores it then gives us a foul about 5 yards back which was too far really to get a good shot on goal.

I think we're down now. 5 points adrift and running out of games.

Ref should be punished with a relegation as well.

Jock Stein once said that Willie Hamilton was the most talented footballer he had ever worked with.

Died sadly at a very young age and is buried out in Canada. His widow is married to the man who owns the shop on Albion Road that sells the old programs etc etc. I have a lovely drawing of Willie that I bought in that shop Pride of place in our house

OG by Spurs

Klopp has some cojones. Basically going with 8 attacking players to win the game. Paid off.

[hibby6270]

Willie Hamilton(the second best Hibs midfielder I’ve seen)came to Hibs In 1963.Shone under Stein but Shankly found him too troublesome.

Without causing offence, who was the best?

Stanton?
Sauzee?
Latapy?
Someone else?

You were around in the FF era, so maybe Smith or Turnbull?

I take it the best midfielder is Patrick Gordon Stanton?

:dunno:

[hibby6270]

Jock Stein once said that Willie Hamilton was the most talented footballer he had ever worked with. Pat Stanton told me once that Willie always had a gill bottle of whiskey from the booze shop on Easter Road. That was when the players walked to the ground. Died sadly at a very young age and is buried out in Canada. His widow is married to the man who owns the shop on Albion Road that sells the old programs etc etc. I have a lovely drawing of Willie that I bought in that shop Pride of place in our house

Bit of a maverick then?
All I’ve read on here suggests he was definitely worth watching.
Pity I was too young to appreciate him.:rolleyes:

[son of haggart]

Halliday and Morelos will definitely miss midweek. Kent will probably be ok unless Sevco just accept his ban, assuming of course that he gets offered a ban by the compliance officer. I'm expecting at least 4 matches for what he did.

Doubt if Halliday will miss it - it was a second yellow? As far as I am aware you only miss the next game for a straight red.

Bobby Johnstone was the best and Hamilton not far behind.
Other standouts were Combe,Buchanan,Turnbull,Gibson,Quinn,Cormack,Stant on,Edwards,Cropley,Bremner,Collins,Latapy,Sauzee,M cGinn,McGeouch,Allan.

I've been very lucky with the players I've seen and like all old geezers probably hold the players seen in younger days as the best.

I'm pretty sure any red card sees you miss the next game in that competition.

I see I am wrong - thanks for that. Would rather Kent missed it though!

[Smartie]

I see I am wrong - thanks for that. Would rather Kent missed it though!

If you had a Sevco match wishlist it would be for Kent to miss the match and for Halliday to be playing at LB.

I can't decide whether I'd rather have Morelos miss it (as he is undoubtedly a good player) or for him to play and for my team to rile him into a red card.

[BILLYHIBS]

Pray tell me what was Gordon Smith like?

[Haymaker]

Starting 11 PLUS 4 subs?

Extra sub allowed in extra time

[Fanforlife]

Fair comment. From a personal point of view, although my first game at ER was in 1962, I only started going regularly when I was about 8 year old. I think Hamilton had moved on by then which is probably why I don’t have such a vivid recollection of him.
Cormack on the other hand was with the club until 1970(?), so he sticks in my memory along with the likes of Stein, Stanton et al from the mid to late 60s. Halcyon days!!exactly same timeline for me m8,surprised the victory v Real Madrid escapes your memory though then 2 4 win at Iboke a few days later and these were in 1964? Admittedly Cormack was only 16/17 at the time but memories of this will never leave me.Still think if Stein had stuck around until end of season Hibs would have won the double 😁

[Sir David Gray]

Any red card sees you miss the next game, the only time a suspension takes a couple of weeks to take effect is if a player has been booked in a match that takes them over the points threshold.

Halliday will be banned in midweek.

Fully agree with all your choices. I’d probably start from Pat Quinn onwards but then again you do have few years on me. :greengrin

One omission I’m sure a few would agree with is Gordon Smith. Would he be classed as a forward though and not a midfielder?

I’ve said it a few times on the forum, I have seen him play, although I was completely unaware of it at the time and only realised it relatively recently. That first game I mentioned in 1962 was against Dundee at ER and Smith played for them that day. I’ve got the old man to thank for that privilege. He waxed lyrical about Smith for many years!!

Gordon Smith was of course the hero possibly because he was good looking and seemed to have an all year round tan(pretty rare in Scotland).When I started watching he was no longer the prodigious goal scorer and stuck mainly to the wing although still chipping in with goals.He was a lovely runner with the ball,played with his head up and was two footed.I saw him cross a ball with the outside of his left foot while going full pelt down the right wing for Reilly to put in with a flying header.Needless to say on Monday the school playground was full of kids trying this and probably accounts for some having walking difficulties in later life!Smith used to run straight off the field at the final whistle.Partly I think that he didn't care to shake hands with guys who had been kicking lumps out of him but also because the pitch was always invaded by 2/300 kids trying to get autographs and he was the main target-most of the players got off quickly.There was no difficulty getting signatures after the game at the back of the stand.I got his when he was out with a broken leg(a bad foul against Raith).He had a light stooky on and as he was signing another kid gave him a tennis ball which he then played keepie uppie with the stookied leg while still giving everybody autographs.
Everyone was appalled when Hibs gave him a free-finished they said-and I was among over 10,000 that turned up at Tynecastle to see his first game for Hearts reserves.Of course he went on to win more medals ,play in Europe,score around 20 goals for both Hearts(who it was alleged sold him for £10000)and Dundee and taught Gilzean that heading goals was easy if someone put the ball i the right place.
Sorry for the ramblings.

Sorry for the ramblings.Great read. The older Hibbies in family always had a great love of Gordon Smith but the other name that often comes up when talent and entertainment is discussed is Willie Hamilton.
