Fraser Fyvie

[Diclonius]

Released by Dundee United. That's a shame, I thought he was doing well over there.

That’s actually sad to hear. I know people have various opinions but that boy has not had the career he should have and a lot of it’s been bad luck.

Regardless of whether you’d see him as an automatic starter he was a good fit at Hibs and a really valuable player for us.

[SteveHFC]

Apparently Fyvie is going part time with Cove Rangers according to a Utd fan on pie and bovril.

[The 90+2]

I bet they will still pay decent money to him.

Sad to hear though I thought he was a cracking player.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Made a mistake leaving Hibs. But whatever he did he will always be a cup winning legend, his run to take the throw from SDG in the final set up the winner, not to mention winning the corner for the equaliser … he was probably our most effective midfielder that day.

Good luck to him, always welcome back at Easter Road :not worth

He battled for a place with McGinn, McGeouch and Henderson and was often picked ahead of them.

I think his injury at Utd must have been a bad one and I'm sure he'll have been on decent money there for the amount of football he's played.

Not really sure where it has gone wrong for Fyvie as I liked him as a player.

[Michael]

He's only 26! He's been around for ages too. Surely not going part time?

[HoboHarry]

He's only 26! He's been around for ages too. Surely not going part time?
Why not? If he is really going to sign for Cove this early without even seeing what is going to be available in the window, I think it would be fair to assume that he has a bigger plan in place whether it be within football or not....

[Ringothedog]

FA cup, Scottish championship and Scottish cup winner.Not a bad player.

[Unseen work]

Seeing some of the centre mids in the SPL I can’t beleive some clubs aren’t offering him a deal.

Good player on the ball and has a bit of dig about him.

Made some very poor career decisions however.

Utd fans saying injuries have ruined him. When you add in the fact that he's always been massively overhyped..

[O'Rourke3]

Probably one of their higher earners. Hope his injury this season hasn't affected him that badly. Very decent centre mid.




And a cup wining hero :hibees

[Stonewall]

Cove Rangers are being bankrolled and are paying very good money apparently.

Maybe the mistake wasn't made by the player!!

[Stokesy's on fire]

I absolutely love Fraser Fyvie i thought he was a really good player for us he unfortunately left at the wrong time and suffered a bad injury at Dundee UTD. Hopefully he finds a decent club and gets his career back on track.

[Stokesy's on fire]

As are Kelty Hearts apparently

Knowing what we know now...you could have a valid point

[Bostonhibby]

Good guy, rarely let us down especially in that final. Wish him well

Nothing but fitba love for Fraser Fyvie. An intelligent player who gave us a lot of composure in those years.

And, part of that team who gave me my greatest day as a Hibby. He was excellent that day and the way he celebrated the winning goal, how it affected his dad, his son..

Good luck Fraser.

[bigwheel]

Would happily have him back in our squad ...

[Franck Stanton]

Would happily have him back in our squad ...

Me too !

[Since452]

I remember being raging at him when he played the ball to Stokes for the shot that resulted in our corner for the winning goal. Thought he delayed it too much and played it slightly beind him. Thank god he did.

[MWHIBBIES]

If the choice was Fraser, Marv or Milligan it would be Fyvie every time. Great player.

He can't be that great

[MWHIBBIES]

Okay. Stubbs had the choice on the cup final day. Went with Fyvie.

He's younger and more mobile that Milligan so I'd take him over him too.

[MWHIBBIES]

He can't be that great

Why? Because he got injured and lost his way a bit? For Hibs he was the best of the 3 imo.

[My_Wife_Camille]

I take it he didn’t win any corner kicks in his 2 years there? Can’t say I’m surprised to be honest. A painfully average player who is making a career out of huffing and puffing around the Scottish second tier.

Still, he played his part on the big day so good luck to him. Won’t be surprised if he heads straight across the road to Dens

[Baader]

A good player and a cup winning legend who never let Hibs down. Wish him the best of luck.

[Billy Whizz]

Had a load of injuries, made a bit of money at Wigan. Probably wanting to move back to the Aberdeen area, and maybe feels he can’t play and train full time!

[Pretty Boy]

I'd take the Fyvie we had back. I'm not sure that player exists anymore though.

[Stonewall]

As are Kelty Hearts apparently

I was speaking to one of the Linlithgow Rose committee yesterday and he confirmed this.

Without a shadow of a doubt. Milligan’s wage spent on a punt on Fyvie being fit? Yes please.

Arbroath are in the Championship next year? It must be a financial reason.

I thought Lennon's handling of the Fyvie situation was piss poor and for some reason a Scottish Cup hero is somehow thought of quite poorly by some people.

I’d also rather have Fyvie than Milligan, thought he was great for us.

Fyvie was a good player for us. Injuries must have hampered him at the Arabs. Cup winning hero.

[Nicho87]

I’d take him. Would have him ahead of slivka, Bartley

[cabbageandribs1875]

i liked Fraser Fyvie :agree:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

If he is being released before the play offs I suppose that means that he was not likely to feature, even in an emergency.

[Since452]

Thats Kelty H#@*$s

[SChibs]

I seem to remember us struggling when he got injured away to Morton. We went on a really and run when he got injured iirc. I really liked him and he must have covered the most ground and played the most passes in the team when he played centre mid for us. Took a lot of stick from the fans at times but always showed for the ball and never hid.

We struggled big time. That cup winning season he was MOTM ahead of bothMcGinn and McGeough on plenty occasions. I’m not sure why there are a few snipers on here where FF is concerned. He was a quality player in his time with us. I wish him nothing but the best for the future.

Got hung out to dry/blamed for the teams poor performance in the first half of the Aberdeen semi-final which some fans seem to still struggle to forgive him for.

[Centre Hawf]

For large parts of that promotion season we played McGinn/McGeouch and Bartley as a flat 2 with either McGeouch/Shinnie wide left and we struggled to break teams down and ground out wins. Imo Fyvie and McGinn would have been a far better pairing in that system, although I always preferred having a 3 of McGinn/McGeouch/Fyvie cause all 3 were brilliant footballers.

We eventually played Fyvie in the middle in a few games at the end of the season and I remember away to Ayr he was brilliant beside McGinn and Ayr United couldn't get anywhere near the ball. We wen't on to win 4-0 and it was our most convincing win of the season near enough.

Imo if Fyvie didn't pick up that injury and played the Ross County final we probably would have won it. Our goal came from slack play between Thomson, who filled in for him most of the time, and someone else in the midfield.

The blame for that lay squarely at Lennon’s door for not playing Holt from the start.

We can do better than all mentioned. The drama on here when fyvie left was a nonsense. People making out we would miss him and we didn't. Vastly overrated.

The Fyvie of a few years ago may have helped us this year. The up to date version of Fyvie wouldn’t have.

Sounds like he has struggled since his injury and doesn’t move freely.

I always liked him.

As I said previously, he has the quality to play in the top Scottish league.

[we are hibs]

In what way did we miss him? Our results didn't dip. If anything the ball moved through the midfield quicker when he was out and that suited us.

We missed him in the league cup final. Midfield was very unbalanced with Thomson on the right of the diamond.

Why someone would run down a player who helped rejuvenate our club is very disappointing. He more than played his part and his intelligent delay before passing to Stokes so he had room to go around the defender and get his corner winning shot off was FF all over.

Thats Kelty H#@*$s

Serves them right. They had a good manager, decided to go with Barry Bigbaws & their form went due south.

East Kilbride scooshed the Lowland League, panning Kelty 3 & 4 nil while they were at it but got completely turned over by Cove
in the play-offs. Kelty will have Bonnyrigg to worry about next year as well.

On Fyvie, damn shame but it appears his injuries have done for him.

Look again. Our form was terrible after the Morton away game.

[allmodcons]

Cove Rangers are being bankrolled and are paying very good money apparently.

He'll be on something close to £400 - £500 a week at Cove. Decent money for a part time player.

I'm told Martin 'Jimmy' Scott is being paid £400 per week at Cove.

So in the immediate aftermath of his injury we went on to lose enough games to kill our title hope and a cup final? But when he returned to the side we did end up winning a trophy?


Quite clearly an average player.

[superfurryhibby]

That fact that he’s had serious injury issues is what says it all surely?

I liked Fyvie and was disappointed when he left. Sadly for him he’s not been able to contribute much on the pitch at Utd since, because of a cruciate ligament injury, the second of his career.

[The Modfather]

I always thought, like a lot of players, he got better the longer he has been away. I thought he was decent, but a bit of a jack of all trades master of none IMO.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Maybe the mistake wasn't made by the player!!

IIRC Hibs offered him a deal which he turned down hoping for better offers and then when none came in he went back to Hibs who told him the deal had been withdrawn, in that few weeks perhaps Hibs had decided the money would be better spent elsewhere. We got promoted the following season and then went on to have a decent season in 17/18 so I imagine Hibs don't have too many regrets.

The mistake could have been his agents of course :agree:

For what it's worth I have my doubts on whether time and injuries have been kind enough to him that we can still say he'd be a top 6 Premiership player. But this myth that he was an average player that would never have gotten into our squad and was average with us is mental.

[Hibeesmad]

Scottish Cup Legend but I wouldn't say I was highly disappointed when he left. Shame that he looks to be on a downward spiral at a time he should be playing at his peak. The fact he didn't get picked up by another Scottish Premiership team or a team down south at the time of his release was a sign of things to come.

[Since452]

Did a job for us when fit in the Championship. Even then i found him frustrating.

[Robbo6-2]

Fyvie was a good player and would still be in and around our team if he stayed. Never hid and always looked for the ball.

By all accounts the main reason he left is his mrs hated Edinburgh and wanted to go back to Aberdeen. So its no surprise if he signs for Cove.

A really bad injury has ruined his career. On paper Dundee utd was a really good move. Feel for him the way it's turned out.

Some of the comments on here are terrible. Fyvie contribution in the cup final was just the same as Liam Henderson Davie gray and the rest of the guys.

[we are hibs]

Hardly. It's called having an opinion. I didn't see what all the fuss was before the final and I didn't after it. He played well in the final but his performances for me didn't really live up to the hype some in our support gave them. He's a bit like a younger Milligan in all honesty. Rarely passes forward and took an age on the ball.

[Pretty Boy]

I've never understood the 'he only pasees the ball sideways' argument or the acceptance of it's validity.

Having the ability to retain and recycle the ball and control possession is one of the most underrated skills in the game. It was a criticism also occasionally levelled at McGeough and it was bizarre then as well. How often this season have we made 7 or 8 passes across the back line desperately looking for a player to show for the ball, turn and make a 5 or 6 yard pass? A link up player if you like. That's what the likes of McGeough and Fyvie provided. Or when you have players like Allan or McGinn who might try something out of the ordinary once in a while. When it breaks down and the ball ends up 45-50 yards from the opponents goal that's where McGeough or Fyvie come in, settle the game, make a simple pass and let us regain our shape.

Similar criticisms where aimed at Barry Ferguson throughout his career. He, despite his allegiances, was a fantastic player and was held in high regard by a lot of top players he played with. Every single player can't be a maverick who launches 60 yard passes or beats 10 men and rounds the keeper. Even Brazil, Barcelona and Real Madrid have and have had their 'water carriers'.

This is exactly right. It's a bizarre thing to say. He was always available for a pass, taking it off the back 4 under pressure and moving it to Mcginn or McGeouch. The fullbacks rarely had to turn back when Fyvie was playing.

They are the type of player you only truly appreciate when you don't have one. Over the piece Milligan has done well for us but he was poor on Sunday and that was one of the key areas where we lost the game.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but imo you see what you want to see with the likes of Fyvie. I saw a player who took responsibility and continually wanted to take the ball in tight areas. Sometimes he'd lose the ball and he'd get pelters.

He was a good player for us and contributed way more than just the cup final.

When Fyvie left and Mcgeouch started dropping deeper I thought he performed that role far better than fyvie did. There is nothing wrong with retaining the ball but fyvie and Milligan's chronic lack of urgency and pace at times is frustrating. Taking 4 and 5 touches when really all they need is a couple then move it on. It was worse in the championship when we were up against teams defending their 18 yard box and we weren't moving the ball quick enough to break them down. Fwiw I would take the fyvie of 3 years ago ahead of Milligan any day but I would hope we have our eye on a younger, quicker player to move into that role next season.

If people don't rate him then fair enough, but surely better just to keep quiet than slate a Cup Winning Legend? I don't get it personally. May just be sign of the times where everyone has to shout their opinion.


David Gray is the biggest hibs legend of them all in that side and he still gets stick when it's merited. Being a legend doesn't make you immune from critisism.

Sure, someone has a bad game or is not trying etc deserves that for sure. Stokes for example, deserved stick when at us for all the nonsense he caused. But a player that left us a while ago, with a Scottish Cup and Championship medal tucked away? I just don't see the need for sticking the boot into him. Each to their own, but as a support we must be one of the worst for abusing our own.

Fair enough but imo it’s a bit like being forced to choose between a dug ***** and a cow *****. Sure, some people will have a preference but, for me, I’d rather do without either because at the end of the day they are both still *****

[Stokesy's on fire]

He will join Cove Rangers pending the outcome of the play off games v Berwick...deal to be backed by oil and gas firm ATR group in Aberdeen.

[Speedway]

The player some are wanting back has been released by the arabs and is reportedly a signing target of Cove Rangers.

Whoever Fyvie was, he ain't anymore.

[Northernhibee]

The Cove Rangers manager John Sheran has a couple of businesses and has great connections for this sort of thing. Cove have or have had the likes of Roy McBain and Mitch Megginson that would normally be out of their reach otherwise. Also gives players a potential career path once they hang up their boots.

Bizarre.

He is Frazer Fyvie, cup winner in England and Scotland, that will never change.

As has been stated already, he has had two cruciate ligament injuries and this has probably curtailed what should have been a very good career.

Is that hard to understand?

Noone wants him back, you’re havering, as usual.

Scott Robertson - dug****
Matt Thornhill - cow****
Isiah Osbourne - horse***
Owain Tudor Jones - bull****

Fraser Fyvie - decent and not actually that bad

[CapitalGreen]

Hibs averaged 1.90 points per game in all competitions while Fyvie was at the club.

Hibs averaged 2.01 points per game over that same period when Fraser Fyvie was playing.

[MrRobot]

Always liked Fyvie - was gutted to see him leave, especially for the reason of not answering the contract offer in time given that other players such as McGeouch were afforded as much time as they wanted.

[Kato]

So in the immediate aftermath of his injury we went on to lose enough games to kill our title hope and a cup final? But when he returned to the side we did end up winning a trophy?


Quite clearly an average player.

It's an internet rule that people will never change their minds, no matter the facts.

[Bishop Hibee]

Scott Robertson - dug****
Matt Thornhill - cow****
Isiah Osbourne - horse***

Last 3 on that list give me the fear. Disgraced the green. Fyvie on the other hand rose to the occasion wearing it when it mattered.

I would take him back as a squad player no question.

Was surprised to read in the DR “Dundee United captain Fraser Fyvie 26 has been released by the club before the play offs.”

Still quite young should be at the height of his powers but obviously no chance of getting a game for an average Dundee United team in very important games for the club

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Robertson shouldn’t be on that list but see your point.

Really? He made Gary Deegan look like a player

[Centre Hawf]

Really? He made Gary Deegan look like a player

Thought in our first season of the Championship he looked really good. More like the player we expected to get when he came in from Blackpool. Not sure I'd lump him in with being as good as Fyvie but I wouldn't compare him to Tudor Jones and Thornhill.

[MWHIBBIES]

Definitely not, you might be getting confused with someone else. Robertson was a much better player for Hibs than Deegan

I’ll concede he doesn’t belong to be mentioned with those two imposters. He’s a long way off being a good player for Hibs though. A mainstay in the midfield that got us relegated. Humpty

He was like Fyvie. Without the energy. or Engine. or Ability.

[Saint Hibee]

I actually thought both Robertson and Deegan did okay for us. Neither reached the lows of Tudor-Jones.

It's hard to look at anyone from that Relegation midfield with any sort of admiration. I remember watching us play for a few weeks with Liam Craig left, Robertson Right and Thomson and Taiwo centre mid. No surprise that James Collins couldn't bag a goal tbh.

[Centre Hawf]

Not a forward pass in the 4 of them 😂

I remember going up to Inverness fairly early on into the season with that 4 in midfield and Collins and Heffernan up top. I think we were unbeaten in about 6 games going into it and I thought "Outside of Celtic our team could arguably be the strongest on paper"


Oh how I was proved wrong as they scudded us 3-0 to go top of the table and we started to slide.

No no no . He’s signing for Cove Rangers. That’s says it all man.

Unless injuries have taken their toll on Fraser, he's a significant upgrade on Bartley in terms of having him in the squad as back up to Milligan for playing the holding role in midfield.

Football is a brutal short term career.

If you can't get a game for Dundee Utd in the Scottish Championship and your next port of call looks like part time football with Cove Rangers then you are hardly going to make some miraculous jump back to a team 5th in the SPL.

FF would have made reasonable money from football but he has 50 years of his life ahead of him to fulfill and finance less beer money in Edinburgh for any of the cup final heroes.

Fyvie when at hibs was a good player, fyvie since he left has been injured a fair bit and it seems to be taking its toll on him now, I'd like to think we had better players lined up. Will always be remembered for his part in the final and quite right but time to move on

I was asking if he recognised Scott Robertson. Lumping him in with that list of shame was inaccurate. I know who Gary Deegan was and he couldn’t lace Scott Robertson’s boots.

[majorhibs]

Fyvie strongly reminded me of Brian Hamilton. 100% effort, but the simple things? Gies peace. In short looked like someone introduced tae football at 15 or so. Sorry, but imo, they both were triers but water carriers. Or, when I’m mair realistic, imo again obv, they both were well below the standard of the players around them, & we would have had so much better teams with better performers in their positions in those teams at the time.

Funny how those same players that played with Fyvie and Hamilton raved about the individual unheralded roles they played in the team

Brian Hamilton Scottish League Cup Winner 1992

I would refer you to the Fraser Fyvie and John McGinn thread from April 2016

” Yet again Fraser Fyvie was fantastic and completely bossed the midfield.I would love to see his stats on how many times he touches the ball

Not only that he dictates where it goes by constantly shouting and pointing at people where to play it

Fantastic all round performance from him”

”Fyvie was man of the match by a mile tonight”

”Fyvie is our best midfielder right now”

”Fyvie is a cracking player played very well this evening”

”Fyvie was indeed brilliant “

Does not sound as though they are talking about the same player you described

Opinions eh?

Brian Kerr was raved about too! By some. Unseen work & aw that! Guess “fitba people ken” etc, & Chris Hogg never made a howler a game to concede or V nearly concede every game cos he strolled the other 87. While rarely vocal, when I see players constantly mince, sorry imo that’s them. If I think the team would be better without, sorry, imo I reckon better with higher calibre. Hamilton & Fyvie 2 imo we would have been a much better team with better alongside for instance Pat Mcginlay & John McGinn.

Robertson however was still a poor midfielder.

Fyvie was a good player for us, a much better player than Robertson.

Fraser Fyvie’s only telling contribution in 10 years of professional football is winning a corner kick, playing a routine square pass and keeping the Wigan bench warm as they wok the FA Cup.


Without him we would not have won the cup in the circumstances we did so we should be grateful for his contribution (imo) but let’s not get carried away and pretend that he was anything more than a ginger Tom Taiwo.

Yip!

That is why it is called a fitba team all constituent parts of a whole each player bringing their own individual qualities to the table

That is part of the fun of supporting HIBS not every player is a Messi or an Iniesta we are not Barcelona or Real Madrid we only play players we can afford or have brought through ourselves

Hail! Hail!

You know how the song goes ! :greengrin

“ Barcelona Real Madrid Sporting Lisbon made a bid”

Did you know that we once scored four goals at the Nou Camp?

Yes there has been some dross over the years but Fraser Fyvie ain’t one of them

I remember we had the much maligned Benny Brazil but different Managers kept selecting him because of the work rate and commitment he brought to the cause and he never let the team down

We recently had a thread on here where some posters were having a pop at that HIBS hero Joe Tortolano another player who while not everyone’s cup of tea always tried his best and that is all you can ask

As I said it is all about opinions and you of course are entitled to yours but not everyone has to agree with them

Pretty decent, making him better than most midfielders I've seen playing for Hibs without threatening being in a best XI.

[scotiaf]

I think he had a very good footballers brain, I liked him as a player. Lacked a little pace, could tackle if required. I suppose we were lucky to have a very strong midfield at the time for him to be on the bench. If he was still at the same level, you would take him back. As it looks he’s maybe considering a good wage part time and studying for later in life. So I assume he has been told he can’t play top level and train and play, not quiet Ledley king but needs to rest his legs to perform at a decent level. I know I struggle playing a game and training in 1 week, however I’m 37

There's guys I go to games with who didn't rate Fyvie and I completely respect where they are coming from. The reason being they're the ones who occasionally need the laws explained to them or imagine a player with limited pace can train to be faster or someone with limited passing ability should be expected to make slide-rule passes just because someone has run into space.
