Was reported during the week that he was off to Australia.....

Central coast mariners in Oz apparently. Outstanding move if true, he’s obviously not a bad lad, bit daft so hopefully being away from his comforts will keep him on the straight and narrow and get focusing on his football.

[007]

He got homesick going to England so don't know how he'll manage in Australia.

[lord bunberry]

Good luck to him, a proper hibs legend.

[WeeRussell]

I think I’d feel less homesick living in Australia than I would if I moved to Engurland 😁

[Hermit Crab]

Waiting for the 'he could still do a job for us' posts from the resident sentimentalists, the same posters who would take Griffiths as well. Aim higher!

[HoboHarry]

He's older and it's a completely different environment. I got homesick the first time I lived abroad but I went back to it and I'm glad I did.

:agree: Just because he scored a few goals against Hearts seems to qualify him for another stint with us. Appreciate what he did for us but right now we need better.

Sadly Jason isn't SPFL level, he might do well in Australia as the defences over there are not great, hence to higher than normal goal average for that league (for recent seasons anyway).

Like it did down south videos of him smashing up his flat etc. Can’t see him changing to be honest.

[CmoantheHibs]

He could still do a job for us. Imagine if we got Griffith and him together. Total destruction of opposition defences.

Hopefully it's the same for him. Wish him the best.

Leaving the British football system and way of life completely. Not saying it’s a guarantee to make a difference but I like the fact he’s trying something completely outside the box rather than the same old bouncing around clubs up here.

[Since452]

He could still do a job for us. Imagine if we got Griffith and him together. Total destruction of opposition defences.

And Omeonga pulling the strings behind them.

[Haymaker]

This. :agree:

[SaulGoodman]

And Omeonga pulling the strings behind them.

And Efe shoring things up behind him.

[HoboHarry]

And Efe shoring things up behind him.

Big Roughie in goals and the league is ours......

With Humphrey Rudge as back up.

Be careful you will stir up the 'bring back Riordan' brigade.

[Paul1642]

Can’t see him being happy to sit on the bench in the peak of his career.

[FilipinoHibs]

Be careful you will stir up the 'bring back Riordan' brigade.

Think he could still do a job. Looks fitter than Leigh. Could at least be brought on for Free kicks.

[Haymaker]

Bring all three home

“And tonight Marty, we go Back to the Future!”

[Forza Fred]

I think I’d feel less homesick living in Australia than I would if I moved to Engurland ��

I agree, and and pretty sure Jason will love his time here.

He’s moving to a nice area with beaches and sunshine, which is in the Greater Sydney Area so he’s only an hour and a bit from the centre of Sydney.

Jamie MacLaren is scoring for fun out here…partly.due in no small measure to the marking being much less close out here than in Scotland, and Jason will revel in the time he gets on the ball.

Only problem I see for him is he is unlikely to get the service that Jamie does, but then again it’s not unknown for Jason to score from outside the box.

The Oz Hibbies are already discussing their welcome for him, so let’s see how he goes.

As someone who came out for two years, and is still here after 47, I reckon he’ll take to Oz just fine.

[Since452]

And Efe shoring things up behind him.

Only one man could get them firing on all cylinders. Neil Francis Lennon.

[Wilson]

Like it did down south videos of him smashing up his flat etc. Can’t see him changing to be honest.

Age and experience might make a difference. You can't write him off based on youthful exuberance.

[eastmainsmsh]

Plays to his potential knuckles down can see him getting in Aus squad

[gbhibby]

He will need a travel plug

[Crunchie]

All the very best, Jason you Hibernian Legend :flag: Your goals, especially against them next door still get the juices flowing.

[hibby rae]

He could still do a job for us. Imagine if we got Griffith and him together. Total destruction of opposition defences.

That's why Dundee are running away with the league this season!

Good luck Jason

This is maybe a whoosh moment for me but has he not already been capped for Scotland?

[Chuck Rhoades]

He got homesick going to England so don't know how he'll manage in Australia.

His brother lives there.

[Green Man]

This is maybe a whoosh moment for me but has he not already been capped for Scotland?

He has but only in friendlies, so he could switch to Australia.

[NC1875]

He got homesick going to England so don't know how he'll manage in Australia.

His brother lives in Oz I’m sure, probably played a part in him going there to be fair.

[Iain G]

He has but only in friendlies, so he could switch to Australia.

Only if they are desperate :greengrin

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Can think of worse places to play football.

See he’s moved across with Doig’s sister too. Nice place to set up family home

[Hibbyradge]

That's why Dundee are running away with the league this season!

:top marks

[Centre Hawf]

There was definitely a period where I would have taken him back (even as recently as this season) but I can see the club have set their standards a bit higher which is encouraging from our POV.

All I'd say now is that I genuinely hope he finds some happiness in his life and in his football out in Australia, away from the media, away from perhaps some daft hangers on that enable some of his behaviour. It's a great chance for him to start again without any baggage.

All the best Jason. Will certainly keep an eye out for your results.

[A Hi-Bee]

The Central Coast is a magic place to set up home, sure he will be a good player for them, think he may also be an Aussie Citizen, best of luck to this cup winning legend. Happen to also think that perhaps Boyle may head down under at some time as well.

[Winston Ingram]

He'll score a barrel load over there.

[Winston Ingram]

Like Dundee?

[Iain G]

He'll score a barrel load over there.

I really don't think he will.

[Sproule Three]

I really don't think he will.

Roy O’Donovan was top scorer for this team one year so that shows you standard of defending .
If he’s switched on he will score plenty .

Hopefully get along to see him play soon - Mariners play in Sydney this weekend but not sure if he’ll be ready by then .
Their home ground is only an hour up the road from my gaff

[weecounty hibby]

Good luck to him. Cup winning legend no matter what some of the dafties in our support think. Hope he screws the nut over there. Chance for him to make a good career and a really good life for himself out there

I know the A League fairly well and I think people still see it as an easy league, which is not a fair reflection I don't think.

He needs to screw the nut and focus on his game and he has shown no real ability or desire to do this to date, he is wandering into last chance saloon for his career.

[Frazerbob]

All that’s missing from Dundee’s tweet is ‘don’t let the door hot you on the way out’.

[Sproule Three]

The standard is getting considerably weaker .
Less money and COVID restrictions on imports have had a real impact on ability to get good recruits from overseas .
Many of the better players particularly at Sydney FC are getting past it but nobody near the standard to replace them .
Nincovic , Bobo and Wilkinson being obvious examples

[Winston Ingram]

I really don't think he will.

I watch the A-League most weeks. The standard isn't good. He'll get plenty.

[WhileTheChief..]

His best days were at ER, he'll never get close to that again.

Career is basically over already.

He's done alright for himself considering.

[Hillsidehibby]

Ive got a Central Coast Mariners scarf. Just saying.

[CL0762]

All the best to Jason, a Hibernian legend who not only played a pivotal part in the holy grail coming home but also signed a new contract to ensure we got a fair fee for him when he left.

[Iain G]

I watch the A-League most weeks. The standard isn't good. He'll get plenty.

There is no evidence that he will based on anything he has done recently.

[HendoDelivered]

All the best Cumdog! One of the good guys.

[Pagan Hibernia]

I wish him nothing but the best. At least this will save him and us the indignity of more of the same treatment some idiots in our support thought he deserved at dens park earlier in the season

[Saint Hibee]

I love the boy! Just how boring would football be if everybody was a model professional?

[Bushwoof]

This seems to have happened quite quickly. My son bumped into him in Tescos only last week, and he said he was out of Dundee but had no idea where he was going next (he said Hibs wouldn't have him back!). Apparently he was really friendly and happy to have a chat my my son and his pal - they wished him all the best as a Hibs legend, and I'm happy to extend those wishes to his career in Aus. He's still young enough to go on to do great things.

[Tambo]

The boy came from hearts and gave his all for Hibs. Scored many goals and gave us a lot of entertainment.

If he had went to the Huns from us maybe wouldn't like him as much but even though he played for them I still like him as a player.

Hope he knuckles down and has a good season.

[HoboHarry]

His best days were at ER, he'll never get close to that again.

Shame you couldn't have just wished him well instead of what you said there.

[Iggy Pope]

Bit curmudgeonly of you.

[AZhibee]

Hope he succeeds, but still waiting for him to begin his professional wrestling career.

[CmoantheHibs]

Wish him well. Hope he scores a barrowload.

[stu in nottingham]

Looking forward to the wrestling with a kangaroo video.

[Allant1981]

Shame you couldn't have just wished him well instead of what you said there.

Especially when the 2nd part is utter nonsense

[JimBHibees]

Sounds like a brilliant move for someone his age. Playing football in a beautiful place sounds great. Hope it works out well for him.

[heretoday]

He'd be popular in Oz I'd imagine.

[Forza Fred]

His brother lives in Oz I’m sure, probably played a part in him going there to be fair.

His brother plays for a state league club in Perth.

Not as if Jason will meet up with him after training for a schooner, as Perth is a 5 hour flight from Sydney

[JimBHibees]

Not as if Jason will meet up with him after trading for a schooner, as Perth is a 5 hour flight from Sydney

Yeah be like saying his brother stays close by he stays in Istanbul :greengrin

[heretoday]

I never knew he holds Australian citizenship.
What an interesting person he is!

[overdrive]

I see his girlfriend has gone with him. Big commitment for her to move at such short notice.

Would love someone with his character at the club just now. Maybe we will find the Faroe Islands under 20s CumDawg you never know.

Yep, and maybe you’ll stop talking utter ***** on here as well. Unlikely, but who knows…

That’s right. Dundee aren’t top scorers this season for nothing.

just noticed re-run of the game is just coming up on BT sport 2

[JamesHFC]

Leigh Griffiths has rejected a deal from Dundee. Queens Park are after him apparently.

I would consider giving him a 1 year deal.
