Can't hide the hate, apart from saying he would love to manage Hibs to get us relegated he has now come out with this cracker. "The best players have been Motherwell players. You have to credit Jasper for his first half performance, but other than that, no Hibernian players have stood out"

Can't wait until he has a decent game [emoji23]

Well, to be fair Levein's teams never played actual football, so he's probably not best placed to judge.

Craig does not use centre forwards. Extra midfielder.

Motherwell set up and play like his Hearts teams, big lump up front and kick the f out of your opponents.

He's desperately trying to remain relevant, which isn't required as he ticks all the boxes for BBC Heartssound and has a gig for life

Of course he loved that Motherwell team given all they did was kick the s*** out of us.

Heard him after the game and it was all about how great Melkersen was and how he hopes Doig's ok.
Doesn't hide his allegiances but will still give us credit where it's due. Rather that than Liam "I'm impartial OH MY GOD MOTHERWELL HAVE A PENA- wait nvm" MacLeod or Kenny "loves Hibs, honest" Miller.

Actually thought he was alright - John Rankin pre game though saying Hibs we’re starting without a striker and Jasper would play as a false 9 with Henderson off him. You’d think they’d do a slight bit of research before spouting nonsense.

he DID think Mugabi should at least apologise to Doig for putting him out of the game

That’s the bit I heard - surprised to read that quote that Motherwell had all the best players as that wasn’t what he was saying post match. Actually sounded very fair.

He’s an excellent pantomime villain and you need characters like that in the game. If Marvin Bartley was saying the same thing about them on yesterday evenings footage we’d be lapping it up. He did give credit where it’s due and said both incidents were clear red cards.
He’s funny on the Sacked In The Morning podcast. I’m warming to him but still absolutely love when we get it right round him and the more we win, the more we do that.
It’ll never not be funny that a dose of the ****s in ‘86 stopped him from winning the league though.

Yup, weird that's the quote. He was genuinely concerned about Doig after the game on the radio. He and Willie Miller both saying it was a horrendous challenge. How he was taken with Melkerson and what great scouting it had been to find him

Wonder if he will ever come clean about why Lafferty was sold :cb
Maybe wee Leslie Deans could have come in handy for advice :greengrin he was maybe too busy going to the UN about Hearts unfair relegation :na na:

I never heard what Levein said, but I will say that I really liked his getting sacked in the morning podcasts. He was down to earth, candid and often self deprecating.

Nothing wrong with being open about your allegiances if you give credit where it's due.
Absolutely detested Levein as a manager but quite like him as a pundit.

Well I heard him talking about Melkersen and he was very complimentary towards him. In fact, he sounded quite jealous that we had him. But don’t let that cloud your thoughts

Levein has always been a bit of a pantomime villain for hibs fans, and I hate the way his teams play. But the podcast is very funny and he comes across well. At the end of the day he's just a guy doing a job, isn't he?

I must admit to quite liking Craig Levein. As others have said he is what he is and any “digs” at Hibs are often in a jocular nature centred round the Edinburgh rivalry and a break from the Old Firm snooze fest. If only we had a Hibs minded broadcaster to counter and swing a few punches back.
I did listen to the podcast of yesterdays Sportsound at work today and had to keep reminding myself that we actually won the game. It wasn’t initially that obvious from the tone of broadcast. When it did come to talking about Hibs Levein was probably the most complimentary of the lot.
