Yup, campbell seems like a nice guy.

Good luck to the lichties, great wee club

[CmoantheHibs]

Really want to dislike dick campbell but he comes across as a really nice guy. Good luck to him for this season.
Curious as to why you really want to dislike him?

[Northernhibee]

That was much better. I really feared the worst after the first fifteen minutes as we could have been behind by more but that was a very well managed performance against a good team at a very tough venue on days like today.

I expected to not enjoy today at all, I quite enjoyed large parts of that.

[Lago]

Sorry Amy I've had to switch you off, your questions and presentation, so poor.

[Tony Bobulinski]

Professional performance get that right up you the BBC and all you Hertz ##### that work there

I very much enjoyed that.

Character some good football in awful conditions , Lewis strolling around in midfield like Zidane, three goals and the hun media clamped.

Let's kick on now.

He's a decent guy and see's the game as we all do. Would love to see them win the league.

[whiskyhibby]

Brilliant result and performance

My MOTM too but glad we’re talking about 4-5 players being possibilities

[jacomo]

"Hibs have got a wonderful cup record"???
Seriously?!


I can assure him, the number of times my heart has been broken at Hampden tells another story.


True, although over the past decade probably only Celtc have a better record than us in terms of reaching the latter stages.

[HH81]

Henderson was MOTM overall with Lewis 2nd from what I seen.

Dont really want to critise, but Lago s right. Amy was absolutely dreadful, at half time she said, ‘ demi mitchell separates the sides’. eh? it was so cringey. Her questions were terrible, dont think we will see her back too soon.

Eilidh Barbours good, but shes gone on to better and bigger things.

Miller is right.

[Unseen work]

Can I just say, Nisbet gets quite a bit of stick at times but I think that finish is part of the reason why.

That touch and finish was absolutely brilliant, people know he’s capable of it and he needs to do it more often. It’s because the high standards he set that people critique him more.

In fairness I’ve seen a huge improvement in him since Maloney came in and think the style gets the best out of him.

I agree re Irons. They must literally have no one else available. She simply can’t be first choice.

[JohnMcM]

Happy with the result as we all should be. Pleased for KN. Although he scored, it looks like Mitchell might have more to bring to the table, hope so anyway. Mueller gets his reward for consistent performances and I expect he’ll be delighted to get his first ‘soccer-ball’ goal kick-in.:greengrin

Are Arbroath still part time? if so would that make them the only part time team to play in the top league if they get promoted?

Absolute nonsense - it has nothing to do with her being female. Male presenters get it in the neck all the time too when they are terrible.

I don’t understand people who have this mindset. There are some fantastic female presenters- in fact most of them are!

Irons was diabolical in every way - questions were banal or stupid, there was no fluidity to her and she was sometimes commenting on things that we weren’t even watching on screen at the time. She was awful. That was the problem - couldn’t care less about her gender.

Financially they could but what if they go straight down, they'd not be able to sustain it given their size, tough call for the owners and Campbell.

Vital win after a terrible start. That was a tricky tie against the top team in the Championship, which could easily have gone wrong. We didn't panic after conceding, and eventually our extra quality told. It was essential for Maloney to get a win today; hopefully it gives us a boost in confidence for upcoming fixtures. Fingers crossed for a decent draw in the next round. :aok:

Another **** call. The majority of officials in this country are ****ing dire.

Yeah, we do have a good record of getting to finals and semi-finals - maybe that's what he meant. When he said it I thought he was referring to winning it, which is why I almost fell off my seat 🤣

[Chuck Rhoades]

Good support today. Nice to hear a wider songbook than the viva ole ole for 90mins.

[Jim44]

another few minutes and it would have been 1-4

I’m glad it wasn’t. I had us to win 3-1 in the prediction league. Better still, I took us at 3/1 to win in/play right after we went one down.

Aw, naw ....... just checked - I predicted 0-3. ��

Let me assure you I have in the past been equally critical of Jonathan Sutherland, David Currie and Steven Thompson, all BBC Scotland presenters, unfortunately to day they put up a young woman who just wasn't up to the job, I would suggest she really hadn't done her homework.

I dont, believe that any commentator, presenter, journo etc, could ever ask banal questions **** its in the dna they are all banal.

They could have put out a better line up than they did. Nae offence against the young lassie that presented the programme but they all seemed very amateurish. It's the BBCs biggest game of the round, god know who they have for Peterhead v Dundee, probably somebody off the street.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Macey made several crucial saves at the start of the 2nd half

Just a pity he didn't come for the cross into the 6 yard box that led to their goal. He does not command his box.

fair enough, my comments werent because it was a female, it was because she was poor. S Thompsons not that fluent either. But youre right, the ‘pundits’ werent much better today. But they can only answer what shes asking them.

Been pointed out that one huge issue would be whether part-time players on decent footie wages together with full-time jobs could afford to risk giving up the day job for what might just be the one year. If they lost some guys who couldn't take the risk & replaced them with full-timers would they lose the cohesion which seems to have helped them get where they are?
Complicated.
Anyway, good luck to them but chiefly good to see Gayfield disappearing in the rear view mirror (metaphor, I wasn't there...). GG

When the 10 team premier started in 1975 Ayr United were in it for the first three seasons as part-timers. I don't know if there's been anyone since.

[inglisavhibs]

Clydebank were in the top flight late seventies if my memory serves me well and they were part time.

[TheSouthMoroccan]

I agree re Irons. They must literally have no one else available. She simply can’t be first choice.

Agree. Nothing to do with her sex, ma ears were bleeding. Same with Sacked in the Morning. Not in any way shape or form a natural.

[inglisavhibs]

Clydebank were in the top flight late seventies if my memory serves me well and they were part time. Memory not so good i thought they made it to top flight around the time Davy Cooper was there but it appears not.

[silverhibee]

Take it the rule about full seater stadium in top flight doesn’t apply anymore.

[Alvin]

- she was sometimes commenting on things that we weren’t even watching on screen at the time. She was awful. That was the problem - couldn’t care less about her gender.

Seemed more like the producer was cueing the wrong clips at the wrong time and she was left hung out to dry. Add in having to chat for 15 minutes or so with two inexperienced pundits on live TV. Not even the most experienced of presenters would have enjoyed that one.

[jgl07]

Clydebank had several seasons over a couple of spells in the Premier Division.

In the two-division setup prior to the Premier Division there were loads of part time teams in the top division including Arbroath, East Fife, Stirling Albion, etc.

Back in the 1960s the divide between full time and part time was rather blurred. Many players were nominally full time but had second jobs. Many needed the money with the £20 a week maximum wage that operated then. Tom Finney, one of England’s post war greats ran his plumbing business throughout his career.

When I was at school we had Ray Wood as a part time games teacher. Ray was first choice goalkeeper for Manchester United prior to the signing of Harry Gregg. He was on the plane in the Munich air crash. He had moved to Huddersfield in the second tier by the time I met him.

[Phil MaGlass]

Well done Hibs, dominated the game, a couple of scary moments, Nisbet,Cadden and Lewis solid. Nisbet almost back to his best.I thought Rocky looked a bit dodgy a couple of times at the back though. Big well done tae Arbroath aswell, for a part time team they look pretty good , shame aboot the clarty strip colour though.

[chippy]

Cadden would be an unbelievable player if he had that final ball/finish.

Should have had a goal and assist today.

Hopefully he finds his form in that respect much like Boyle did.

Some folks here used to say same about Boyle not that long ago

I can’t see how they’ll get round that tbh.

There players are probably earning about £8-10k a year. They’ll then have full time jobs.

I can’t see Arbroath paying a full time wage that would better their full time jobs + extra income from football.

Wouldn’t be surprised if their football wage couldn’t clear £500 a week/£26k a year

[cabbageandribs1875]

I think David Gold is on about £250-300 per week with them, extrapolating from a couple of comments made by Dick Campbell.
