[Sir David Gray]

Scott hat-trick. :faf:

[Coco Bryce]

What a team 💚

[Northernhibee]

Is that a perfect hat trick?

[jacomo]

Now that’s a fine header.

[SteveHFC]

What a time to be alive.

[Unseen work]

We’re going to sign him aren’t we

[SHODAN]

Fine then just sign the *******

[Callum_62]

What a header that was to be fair

I wondered that as well

[CMac1988]

Classy header. Had a rough time this season but deserving of his Hat Trick.

[CmoantheHibs]

Cracking finish from the goal machine. Well done James.

[GreenCastle]

James Scott most in form striker in Europe

New favourite player

What a header.

[badabing67]

Wow

[Wull]

Well there you go, we'll done James Scott

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

8th place, dizzy heights.

Glad that we have scored a lot today though at home.

[blackpoolhibs]

If we sign Scott permanently, can we get that guy back who abused him every week?

[NC1875]

No, he knows his football and recognises what good manager we had and what progress JR was making.

Progress 🤣

[stoneyburn hibs]

Bloody typical
Scott gets a hat trick in the last game of the season.

[Lancs Harp]

Fair play to the lad. Had a hard time of it with us but signing off in style!!

[jacomo]

None of the kids having a great debut.

[SHODAN]

One minute?

[Silversand]

James Scott, some footballer [emoji16]

Young players have done fine - looks like they all need to bulk up though.

Sign Scott poll surely incoming (multiple choice?).

[Since452]

He can go back to Hull pleased with his last couple of games. Sadly too little too late.

[EdinMike]

The Dnipro kids have had a belter of a game, and I’m glad they did !

[CMac1988]

Seem like the hairdryer treatment still hast it's place! Joking aside he's been doing a lot better these last few weeks.

[SHODAN]

Our biggest win on the final day of the season. Classic

[sleeping giant]

None of the kids having a great debut.

Aitken done ok. Got a good shot away and another decent run at the defence.

[Alfred E Newman]

None of the kids having a great debut.

Goodness me, away and have a word with yourself.

[Jones28]

👍🏻👍🏻 Best part of that is that these kids got to see a great game.

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

Scott hat trick. The final ironic joke in a joke of a season.

[GreenCastle]

4 goals..
Clean sheet
Hat trick
James Scott goal machine
McGregor last game
Stevenson bossed it

Considering the mince we have watched - fair play for finishing the season with a win.

[Calidad]

Glad for Scott to get his hatrick. Hope we don’t look to sign him on the back of it though.

[SlickShoes]

None of the kids having a great debut.

We won 4-0 and here on hibs.net we still find something to moan about

[Lago]

Melkersen should have buried that, good from Scott...again!
Well none of the ones currently mentioned impress Michael Stewart talking on BBC Scotland today.

Who needs a manager ?

[Tambo]

Save the best till last eh.

Second half thought we played well considering our options and we'll done Scott nice way to end a bad season on a personal level for him.

Nice to see a few youngsters get minutes.

Onto next season GGTTH!

[Inconsequential]

Get that young lad Scott signed up now! Fantastic, super hat-trick from a Hibs striker. Long term deal is a must. Brilliant player.

Well done James Scott! Much maligned player has the last laugh.

GGTTH

Really? I though Murray Aitken’s passing looked assured.

[GreenCastle]

Sunshine on leith on as players walk around.

Scott Allan and Doidge on the pitch now.

[Brightside]

Daz and Lewis were excellent today.

[Aldo]

Daz and Lewis were excellent today.

Not sure we will see Daz playing again but Lewis will definitely be around next season (unless the new manager doesn’t rate him)

Nah you’re ok thanks. It was just an observation.

Dead chuffed that SDG as caretaker , Daz, potentially Porto all got to sign off with a convincing win.

[Keith_M]

Glad for Scott to get his hatrick. Hope we don’t look to sign him on the back of it though.



I hope we do



:duck:

[Lago]

Well after that season what does the future hold for Hibs 🤔

[Silky]

Glad for Scott to get his hatrick. Hope we don’t look to sign him on the back of it though.

More goals this season than the much hyped Melkersen! Horrific miss by the latter as well. :hmmm:

[James70]

I'm just getting over us coming second at Eurovision and now I hear that James Scott has scored a hat trick! Don't think I can take much more.
Biggest shock since Ivan scored three at Ibrox!

[A Hi-Bee]

More goals this season than the much hyped Melkersen! Horrific miss by the latter as well. :hmmm:

Aye but wonderful pass that lead to the miss, he also laid on the first goal with a fine header back across for McGinn/Porto to stab at leading to our first goal. He will be a good player for us next year. I would worry if he was never in place to miss any chances.

That's an unbelievable comment, even for Hibs Net!

That pretty much sums it up

[Alfred E Newman]

A pretty crap one at that.
If you enjoy being negative that's fair enough but some of these young guys were only on for 5 mins FFS.

[SlickShoes]

I mean didn’t Hull pay a million for Scott? We payed half of that for melkersen who is two years younger.

[jacomo]

:agree:

Well done James Scott for his hat trick today but we’ve had a season of nothing from him.

Jack’s public comment on his fitness levels was damning. You can’t have a player like that in the squad.

Melkerson will come good.

[LewysGot2]

Wasn’t looking forward to today but glad I pulled on the big boy’s pants and went along. I’m still birling at Scott getting a hat trick but not complaining. Not sure what part of his anatomy the second went in off but it might have been his big boy’s pants, too :greengrin

He got MotM and I guess goals win prizes but for me it was Stevenson (again) :agree:

Darren had a very solid outing and Henderson had another match where you can see the technique and the intelligence, he just needs to be allowed to develop physically and I’m sure he’ll be alright and so will we.

Sad to think this might well have been the last time we might see Porto and Darren.

I hope we announce an appointment soon that gets bums on seats, STs sold and good recruitment targets identified. Apparently according to the guy in front of us today we’re getting some Dutch guy who seemingly was a decent player for Holland…Jean van Thomson :confused::greengrin:greengrin

Dearie me…he was definitely old enough to remember the 2000s, too :rolleyes::greengrin

Im hoping for JDT. If nothing more than his song is totally class :wink:

[jacomo]

We’re looking ahead to a summer squad rebuild and knowing which young players might be ready to step up is an important issue.

Pretend otherwise if you wish.

The young players got about 10 / 5 mins!

[Ray Donovan]

A good win to end a miserable season.

Happy for James Scott.

Hopefully we can get a manager soon and bring in 3/4 quality players to excite the fans and have something to look forward to for next season

Why are people still surprised at this? The figure given is for tickets sold, not the people in attendance. Every club does this.

[Brightside]

There is nothing wrong with saying the young players aren’t ready tbh. They have another level to play next year to prepare them better for this. Plenty time. No rush.

[BoomtownHibees]

Yep. Even announced as “match day sales” today rather than attendance

[Greenbeard]

Aitken looking lively
Get the laddie's name right at least. It's Aiken. No T.
Nesbit/Nisbet all over again.

Can't remember the last time I sang that!

[Tambo]

I have had a dig or two at Joe Newell recently but thought he played well after a slow start, kept the ball moving and played a couple of nice diagonal passes.

He also looked to get forward much more and he got an assist for his effort also Lewis was his usual 7 out of 10.

Euan worked hard and was looking for the ball as much as he could.

[Gatecrasher]

No long back, Enjoyed the game and I always really enjoy young players getting a run out towards the end. Happy to clap the players around at the end, it wasn't a great season but there are some deserving players in there who I will always clap for.

[wookie70]

First game I have enjoyed for a while. The build up was moving and despite a truly atrocious first half hour we woke up after that and played some good stuff. Lewis Stevenson is the best midfielder at Hibs by a margin imo. Clarke had another good game and I though Daz was solid too. James Scott has turned things round with some game time but he still doesn't look fit to me. Really enjoyed all the kids get there debut today and it is always nice to be there the first time future stars play their first game. Henderson had a bit of a shocker again, I think he gave the ball away cheaply in his first 6 involvements, and I don't think he will be a starter next year. Melkerson was lively in parts but I agree with others that a first half of the season loan would be a good idea. Newell was really disappointing again and although McGinn had a poor start he did well after that. The big difference today was having two strikers so our crosses in the box had a chance of finding someone, one even ended up a goal despite Scott not playing the ball. A blind man could see playing one up top with the players we had for the role was moronic and I hope that whoever fills the manager's role can see that you have to play a system that suits the players at your disposal. A wee bit of cheer at the end of the season was most welcome.

[Wilson]

We'd never have been so disrespectful to Lapaty or Patalienian.

[CyberSauzee]

Glad I went if only to get a look at the 5 youngsters SDG put on. You could see the nerves but thought they all did well. Pleased for Scott, still only 21 so he'll come good, whether it's for us remains to be seen.

[LewysGot2]

It used to be McGeough/McGeogh/McGough instead of McGeouch that ripped my knitting 🙄😬😉

[Johnny_Leith]

I thought Lewis was excellent today. Definitely got another year in him.

[Gatecrasher]

I thought Lewis was excellent today. Definitely got another year in him.

:agree: Seeing him in Midfield was a bit of a surprise but he bossed it.

[weecounty hibby]

Lewis was fantastic today. If only him and Daz were ten years younger!

[Northernhibee]

I thought Lewis was excellent today. Definitely got another year in him.

I could see another two or three seasons if I’m absolutely honest. As long as he stays fit.

[Johnny_Leith]

Inclined to agree, but one season at a time 😁

[Northernhibee]

Inclined to agree, but one season at a time 😁

I WANT HIM TO PLAY UNTIL HE’S SIXTY AND YOU CAN’T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME.

*theatrically folds arms*

[wookie70]

If he steers clear of injury I agree and I would have him at the base of the midfield in front of anyone else at the club currently. His energy levels come from his will as well as his legs. I thought he was tiring after an hour and I get the feeling he just wouldn't leave any energy on the park. He was and has been our best player when he has played imo and that is especially the case when he has been in midfield. I always wonder how Lewis would have got on at a bigger club because he has so many attributes and could really step up if he was surrounded by better players. I'm so glad he is a one club professional though and I hope it stays that way

[Hibs90]

:agree: Seeing him in Midfield was a bit of a surprise but he bossed it.

He's always been excellent in midfield and I'm surprised he wasn't used more in that role from previous managers.

[Sir David Gray]

Lewis Stevenson will finish when Lewis Stevenson wants to finish. :greengrin

He's 34 and still one of the first names on the teamsheet as far as I'm concerned.

Brilliant player, great attitude and professionalism.

Perfect role model for any young player at the club.

[JohnM1875]

:agree: Seeing him in Midfield was a bit of a surprise but he bossed it.

His best performances have been in midfield this year. I'd have him over JDH and Campbell every single time.

[LewysGot2]

Been there a fair bit since Arbroath away?

[s.a.m]

Not sure we will see Daz playing again but Lewis will definitely be around next season (unless the new manager doesn’t rate him)

This is what will happen: the new manager won't rate him and will drop him. It will quickly become apparent that in actual fact he's necessary, and will reinstate him, like the previous 46 managers. This pattern is going to repeat ad infinitum, long after we're all dead and gone. Mon the Lewy :not worth

[Stuarty1875]

Quite enjoyed today's game. Good to see us score a few goals.

special mention for Stevenson who was immense throughout.

Wasn’t just the strikers getting in the box. Think there was four players in or around the six yard box for Scott’s first goal. We’ve lacked that all season.

Cos we never managed to find a better left back. He saw them all off.
