Andy Halliday - A Sad Day For All Hibbies Everywhere

[Keith_M]

I am sad to have to announce that one of our biggest heroes, Andy Halliday, is to leave The Rangers (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52728944).

I'm sure all my fellow Hibbies would like to join me in thanking Andy for all he has done for us.



Let's pour ourselves a wee drink and raise a toast to the guy

Should we think about collecting for a plaque at ER? Think a statue might be too much.

[Clarence]

We all knew this day would come but I’m still not prepared for the emotion of the occasion.

I personally don't think a statue would be overkill, but maybe a wee plaque to start with.

Something about 40 feet high on the back of the Main Stand should suffice.

[Scottie]

Get him signed Jack he knows how to win cups, you know it makes sense :duck:

[Fergos]

Andy “calm down I’ve got this under control” cup final hero Halliday?.....legend.

Cheers bud.

I actually think he's a pretty decent player.

Should we offer him a contract?

If we sign him, the full statue option's out for me. Current players shouldn't be recognised that way. Famous Five, Pat Stanton, yes, but Andy Halliday, no, not yet anyway.

I love that photo.

Every ranger player in a different pose, utterly dejected. Then the stark contrast of the background - thousands of Hibs fans going absolutely nuts.

It's beautiful.

Look at the ****ing scenes man, amazing.

[Diclonius]

I'd take him. Decent player.

[Stokesy's on fire]

I'd take him. Decent player.

Na rubbish partly the reason Rangers struggled in the championship and the league. Players like him and tavernier have been a waste of a jersey to them.

[ballengeich]

Watching the added time at the end of the 2016 Cup Final, I get the impression Halliday was the man supposed to mark David Gray. Happy days.

[Mikey]

He'll be at Arbroath next season (or whenever the lower leagues get going again).

And Dunfermline, and Raith Rovers, and Morton, and Ayr, and Inverness, and Alloa, and Dundee, and QoS.......... :wink:

Calm doon, we’ve got this, they’ve ‘hibsed it’.

Will probably go somewhere like Killie and do really well.

Fun slightly related fact: rangers still haven’t updated their website with the result from that game.

No not really, nice day, sitting in the sunshine, thinking of my dear wife who I lost to breast cancer a few weeks before Christmas, after that you find very little is so important as to upset you.

I was merely expressing the opinion that he was a decent player.

Sorry for your loss. Have to agree that the death of loved ones do put eg football into perspective.

Am also enjoying the sun in my Kirkcaldy garden, planning on heading to the beach now.

I was thinking Killie or Motherwell but see him being very average at either of them.

Thank you, I was fortunately able to have a proper funeral for her just before restrictions came into effect.

Personally I enjoy a run down to Dysart Harbour enjoy a wee wonder around there.
Enjoy the beach, cracking day for it. 👍

Never seen that before. It’s a quite incredible photo. Even if you’re not even a Hibs or fitba fan.

Only 28 as well. Didn't realise that. Genuinely thought he was older.

Hit rate from ex rangers players ain’t too bad , Docherty , McGregor obv Glenn Middleton didn’t set the Heather alight but I’d offer him a deal not breaking the bank of course

[JohnM1875]

I'd actually agree with that.

He gets stick, and it is funny. But genuinely don't think he's a bad player at all. Good cover on the left which is needed as well.

But agree! Not breaking the bank to do so

[TelaStella]

I’m surprised Jordan Rossiter’s name hasn’t been thrown about more, being another leaving as a free agent. Very highly thought of down south and by Gerrard from what I heard so I’m surprised they’ve given up like that. Terrible luck with injuries granted but the boys still only 23 and plenty time left to change that round.

We should sign him no joke!😐
It would be nice to serenade him in a hibs strip,plus him and allan could be a decent link up in midfield.good pro as well,if we can eliminate the sevco in him😂

He has played 38 games in his entire career. He is very unlikely to turn it around.

[Pretty Boy]

Halliday is one of those players who would probably have never been anywhere near Rangers had it not been for their reduced circumstances in recent years.

In saying that he's not a bad player at all. Not a player I'd be ecstatic to see at Hibs but, solely based on football, I could think of worse we could sign.

[Topographic Hibby]

Worth pointing out that he scored a pretty decent goal that day. Poor Polar Bear left floundering - the 4th best goal that day.:greengrin

Oh, and that pic "Dejected Rangers Players" is a thing of pure beauty. Not a Hibs player in sight, while absolute chaos in the background. Perfect framing from the photographer (please tell me that he/she was from Rangers TV or similar....!!)

[One Day Soon]

I think we assaulted the website guy after the game as well.

There's not a The Rangers man, woman, child, dog, cat, budgie, horse, sheep, penguin, monkey, giraffe, squirrel or other The Rangers related living or dead creature or inanimate object that wasn't assualted that day. In the fullness of time I expect images to emerge of Hibernian supporters driving assault tanks and piloting ground-attack fighter jets in wave after wave of blitzkreig warfare against the innocent West of Scotland fans. The world will never know how close we came to a nuclear conflagration.

He’s a decent player but unfortunately for him he’d never be accepted by the vast majority of the Hibs support.

Some things just don’t seem like a good idea. Hibs signing Andy Halliday is one of those.

Never mind Hibs fans - could he fully accept and embrace wearing a green n white shirt?

Maybe our maroon neighbours will view him as a marquee signing? He was pretty good in the Championship after all.

[Tomsk]

He’s a decent player but unfortunately for him he’d never be accepted by the vast majority of the Hibs support.

And nor should he. He's a hun. Makes no secret of it.

He's also very ordinary. Hence why Rangers are punting him. I doubt he would get a game for Hibs at the moment, and we are hardly awash with quality midfielders.

[Peevemor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8jGzK04DEwI watched it on the day with that commentary.

[HFC93]

Andy Halliday joining us would annoy a significant element our support as well as the Huns. The Halliday threads would be chaos.

Hope Ross signs him for the banter.

[Diclonius]

Can you imagine if he signs for us and we end up lifting the delayed 2020 Scottish Cup?

"Andy Halliday, Andy Halliday, could have won the cup, and he won the cup, Andy Halliday..."

Scott Allan would be delighted if we signed him, and since we need a defensive mid, I wouldn't be upset either.

[Eyrie]

If we sign him, would that make us the first club to have two players who had each scored the winning goal in the same cup final?

[Mibbes Aye]

Incorrect. Andy Halliday would be the only player with us to have scored a winning goal after his decisive and match-settling strike in 2016. It is painful but true.

[TelaStella]

He has played 38 games in his entire career. He is very unlikely to turn it around.

He’s 23. McGeouch had played fewer games at near enough the same age prior to coming to us and Scott Allan even less? Just examples.

The more I think of it the more I would sign him.

This next comment might draw ridicule but I could see him become a ‘well sung’ player. We’d surely sing a version of the Andy halliday song in some kind of mixed up taking the piss and backing the player combo?
