Good stuff. Calvin answered most of the questions - let himself down with the Susan Boyle / Gorilla question IMO. 😂

But quite open about peering through peepholes 😁

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Where do you stand on the gorilla / boyle dilemma?

Interesting interview, it's a part of the game I will never understand due my lack of brains but it was good to listen to someone who knows what they are talking about, Matty and John were ok too :greengrin

[04Sauzee]

Enjoyed that and the one with Mathie, very interesting to hear what goes on at East Mains.

When is Big Ron on 😁

Even though we’ve been on our best behaviour with Graeme and Calvin, I’m not sure the club would trust us with Ron (although we’d welcome him on any time, Hibs!).

Funnily enough, my recollection of Hibs turn of the year results was in 2017 was incorrect - there was one other defeat to Celtic.

45% of the time I'm right 20% of the time.

Baby steps, Matty. Let's get Jack Ross before we go for El Jefé!

[CMurdoch]

Well done Matty & John. As ever good to put a personality to a face at the club.
It was interesting to hear him speak about Paul Heckingbottom and confirmed what we thought that PH had worked hard at Hibs and was meticulous in his planning.
Sadly for him and us, the results didn't work out probably due to a lack of inspiration and not playing to his players strengths in the case of Newell and Doidge.
Also liked the bit about Calvin running down the stairs at half time to set up the managers electronic briefing before he arrives despite being much further away when the HT whistle blows. For those that know the layout, perhaps Calvin cuts through the wee treatment room off the tunnel that connects with the home dressing room and that gets him in before the manager.

:greengrin I’m glad someone did! I was well chuffed with myself with it, mentioned it on the Whatsapp and it was a huge “whooosh” but i thought I’d go with it anyway.

John thought it might have been a play on Cabbage and Ribs, but it’s not.

[TAHibby]

Brilliant episode. Calvin came across really well despite revealing his peephole antics

Maybe Calvin and Hibbs would have worked better.

Yeah, you’re probably right there!
