McGeady injury

[WhileTheChief..]

what a load of complete conjecture .......you just like sticking to your guns eh?! pure drivel

So McKirdy didn't have other offers? He doesn't seem pleased to be at hibs?

Which bit is drivel?

[j'adorehibs]

that mcgeady doesnt enjoy being at hibs , thats conjecture on your part, he hasnt said he doesnt enjoy it here so your making it up basis how he looks or has been quoted on other matters

[WhileTheChief..]

See if I’d come on here saying McGeady was delighted to be here, nobody would have contested it all or banged on about conjecture or anything else.

Watch his interviews and compare them to practically any other interview on Hibs TV and you’ll maybe start to understand where I’m coming from. The last person to come across so unenthusiastically was probably Calderwood!

Didn’t he decide to go watch Celtic instead of being with his teammates whilst injured? Not a great look either if true.

Anyways, we’re going round in circles now, you rate / like him. I don’t, no biggy.

Cool. You've made your point. As you say, no biggy.

But yet you argue with everyone who disagrees, post after post.

That's trolling.

[JimBHibees]

Unlike yourself who automatically thinks anyone that signs for us is amazing!

Why do you need / want all of us to like every player we sign? Why not just accept that we have different views?

Yep you have caught me out every player is amazing :faf:

[MWHIBBIES]

That isn't trolling. You may find it annoying but he has every right to reply and he certainly isn't trolling.

Trolling is like, winding people up, looking for a reaction. Infact, I think it would be closer to trolling if he just posted it and then never replied. Trolls don't really back up their arguments.

No, he isn't. He's just saying something you disagree with. You can't resort to just throwing insults at someone because you disagree.

I think he's talking rubbish as well, but he's entitled to do so.

Wasn't that the Celtic B team game, 3 hours before our game, 20 mins down the road from where we were playing? Every chance he was at both games.

[CropleyWasGod]

Was at Airdrie, but yeah.... 12 o'clock kickoff.

Maybe if said poster didn’t have a very very long history of being Uber negative at the first opportunity you may have a point…

Totally making things up about a player’s desire to be here or whatever based on what seems to be very little indeed is not arguing a point it’s simply just making things up.

[Carheenlea]

Threads just turned into petty squabbling.

In no way can that be describing me. Not even close.

You’ll be hard pushed to find me slating many Hibs players on here.

[WhileTheChief..]

That's my point. It's exactly what he's doing.

Nope, I never intentionally come on here to wind folk up. You’ve read enough of my posts to know I don’t do that.

I’m posting regularly on this thread because people are quoting me or asking me questions. It’s either that or ignore them. Can’t win either way really!

[RyeSloan]

Hee Hee OK then..maybe you should peruse your posting history then and remind yourself!

Apart from the fact that this thread is literally you slating McGeady this is a wee cracker from only a few weeks ago:

“We've managed to sign a whole load of players that are worse than the gash we've been watching for over a year”

So not many players but just about all of them! [emoji1787]

Anyway I’m sure we’ve all got better things to do than have a petty wee squabble on here and that we all want the same thing so here’s hoping 3rd or 4th is not actually fantasy stuff after all [emoji106] [emoji6]

[A Hi-Bee]

Not a bad driveler in his day, very quick feet, look forward to seeing what he can do for Hibs when he is back.

A long history you said. 3 weeks?

Nah, you can’t just brush that off so easily. If anything, I’d be put in the happy clapper camp! You can’t just accuse me of being a downer on our players and sail off into the sunset. Totally unfair.

It was only a few weeks ago folk were giving me stick for saying that Porteous is sound and one of our top players. Where were you then?

I’ve got a rough idea of the types of things I post about. You’ll rarely, (I accept not never), find me slating players and certainly not abusing them. As with everything there are exceptions. Josh Vela being one from memory.

But yeah, if you consider a long history as being from Maloney’s time to now, then you’ll find me bumping my gums a lot more than usual. I don’t think I’m any different to the vast majority of our fan base in that respect.

Feel free to drag this up in May when McGeady wins player of the season and I’ll put my hand up and admit I was wrong. I’d be delighted to if it comes to pass.

Hope you enjoyed trawling through my posts, there’s a few of you started doing it recently.

Yup.

Just because you yourself get inexplicably wound up at someone having a different opinion to you it doesn’t mean they’re trolling. It means you are toiling with the concept of someone not thinking the same as you.

I don't think people are wound up by different opinions, I'm certainly not.

It's the need to repeat them ad nauseum everytime someone disagrees that's the trolling aspect. The opinion has been stated. Why the need to argue and argue and argue?

Unless they're getting inexplicably wound up about people having different opinions, right enough.

Ah well.

I'd agree with this.

There is nothing more tedious than scrolling through three pages where half the posts are from the same poster making the same point over and over again in reply to everyone who commented on their original post. And that applies when I agree with the original post every bit as much as when I disagree.

I’ve seen this mentioned on a few topics recently and I don’t get it, surely if your posting an opinion and someone directly disagrees the whole nature of the board itself depends on the discussions it generates? In aware sometimes it gets heated etc and very seldom does the discussion end in a change of opinion but if we all just popped an opinion down on the board and left the site wouldn’t last very long

I think it’s better to post an opinion and let a conversation flow, or more often than not in my case, let it be ignored. Constantly replying to posts becomes tedious.

You have a point, but I think there's a balance to be struck. There are posters who must think that allowing someone else to have the last word on a subject is a sign of weakness, acquiescence or defeat so they answer every single comment religiously.

It's so childish, when you analyse it. Hibs are great. No they're rubbish. No they're great. No they're rubbish.

There may be more words used and arguments may be being made, but when it lasts for pages, it's not debate, it's just childish and stubborn arguing.

What does it really matter if someone you've never met gets the last word? It took me long enough, but I've realised that winning an argument on social media is a) impossible and b) meaningless.

Aye I get what your saying, you do see a lot of repeated points and people getting personal but I’d hate for this place to loose the debate aspect because your hassled for backing up an original point/post, trolling and actually trying to have a decent debate probably quite a fine line to police

I agree, it is not even healthy debate, just someone posting their negative opinion over and over again, even responding to each individual with why he thinks he is right and everyone else is wrong. I just blocked them, but will still have to read their ravings if someone else quotes them.

[Victor]

He also mentioned how he is fully focused in getting fit for Hibs, hopefully not too far away now.:pray:

[Hibiza]

Thought he'd be a good signing .waste of cash in as it turns out.

[MWHIBBIES]

He got injured man, bit of sympathy perhaps? Still a long way to go this season, may be important for us.

It's strange that he is never mentioned in injury updates anymore.

I seen him yesterday looked much more comfortable walking than last time I saw him moon boot free as well

[Ronniekirk]

Said today hevis still working with the Physio s on his rehab so doesn’t sound like he is back training on grass yet Lewis Miller is

[Carheenlea]

Until this thread resurfaced with the query on his injury recovery I’d forgotten we had signed him.

Got excited when we signed him and hopefully that excitement can be reignited when he returns. Does feel like a long way off though.

[JammyDoidger]

I'm sure I seen him running on the grass in the pictures hibs put up yesterday.

[Dashing Bob S]

Can't really see him playing much of a part at Easter Road now.

[Glory Lurker]

Hang on, I think I remember him

[California-Hibs]

Post World Cup you'll see plenty of McGeady in a Hibs shirt. I still predict he'll have a big part to play this season.

We’ve signed players like Murphy, Mitchell & McGeady in recent years who came with a reputation as injury prone. That reputation may be unfair when you dig into it, but the players have all been out for long spells or had a very stop start time with injuries.

All signings are a gamble, and to get quality at our level it’s often because players have had injury issues. I think we should be taking a gamble on players, but not ones that are integral to the team, like knitting the midfield together or providing our midfield creativity, like Magennis and McGeady.

As well you know there's a big difference between signing a young centre half desperate to make a career for himself and a winger at the end of his who was out for 6 months and liable to be targeted. He gets a bad tackle and then a recurrence of his injury.No doubt he's pig-sick but it's no surprise. It's a punt that hasn't come off.

[Scottie]

Nearest he’ll get back to ER is the Albion bar unfortunately. Gamble that’s not paid off (so far) :wink:

Murphy had nearly 500 career matches and had played consistently without major injury since he was 18. He got 1 bad injured and appeared to have recovered at Burton before joining Hibs. He got injured constantly here. McGregor had 3 major injuries in his career. He mostly stayed fit in his time here, until the last couple of years.

There is a lot of good fortune involved in these things. McGeady was on the end of an unlucky challenge in pre season. Really not much that can be done about that.

[Heisenberg]

Don’t think we really saw much of his quality in pre season or the league cup outside a couple of crosses. Certainly didn’t look like a standout performer but obviously have to take into account that he was trying to get his fitness back.

[Alfred E Newman]

My thoughts exactly, think we will be lucky to see any real involvement before he leaves at season end.

He can always return in a couple of years and play in a Hibs Legends game.

Probably play a couple more games with Hibs then he will retire from playing football at the end of the season.

A gamble that didn’t pay off.

It’s all been said before but yeah, a total waste of a signing.

Has he been training or in anyway involved with his at all the last few months?

[JamesHFC]

This article is from 21st September. LJ says at that date it would be 3-4 weeks before return to full training, which he now seems to be.

He also says something along the lines of having him back ready to go between 4-6 weeks from the date of this article. So we might see him before the World Cup break.

Will be an important player for us after the World Cup 👍

[truehibernian]

McGeady will definitely add creativity, just hope he’s not rushed back - quality player, hopefully see him up to speed before the derby.

[Still Smiling]

Certainly hope so, but never saw any signs of that before he got injured
He was a class above in the Norwich game prior to his injury.

[basehibby]

Can't really see him playing much of a part at Easter Road now.

I can see what you mean in that the thinking behind signing McGeady was perhaps to take the heat off less experienced attackers in the short term while they bedded in. The timing of his injury though was such that the likes of Youan and others have already experienced their baptism of fire. McGeady may end up being an option second half of the season but the raison d'etre for using him is greatly diminished.

[Tambo]

Mcgeady, Nisbet and Miller all back in light training with Johnson hopeful of a fully fit squad when the league resumes after the world cup break.

[bigwheel]

I think with the squad we have now , if we could get McGeady off our wage bill, I think we would jump at the chance ..

[Hibbyradge]

I think with the squad we have now , if we could get McGeady off our wage bill, I think we would jump at the chance ..

I think if when we can get him in the squad, we'll jump at the chance.

We've hardly seen any of him, so how can he be written off already?

[green day]

I think if when we can get him in the squad, we'll jump at the chance.

We've hardly seen any of him, so how can he be written off already?

As someone else mentioned, he looked really good v Norwich til the boy crocked him.

I think he has a lot to offer us in the 2nd half of the season - and lets not forget, Boyle may get an injury so having another person who can make things happen out wide is vital.

[bigwheel]

I think if when we can get him in the squad, we'll jump at the chance.

Don’t think he is written off - LJ will know what he brings - but it was a recurrence of a previous injury , and I think the value for money equation will have been shaken by that . It’s not a position we are short on options. Was just a commercial point I was making .

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Pretty much this.

[Phil MaGlass]

McGeady once hes back playing will add quality which we need. Hes a good player, was playing well before his injury.

[bigwheel]

McGeady once hes back playing will add quality which we need. Hes a good player, was playing well before his injury.

He may do …it’s not yet clear whether he will fully recover . He broke down with a non contact recurrence this time . Medial ligaments don’t recover fully the older you get . He could be left with some impact . Nothing against him , fit and on form he’ll be one of our better players. If we get that McGeady, then fantastic!

All things being considered, I suspect the club would like him off the wage bill..unlikely until end of season though …

[GreenCastle]

He’s in the training video club posted.

Also looks like Mitchell there too.

Didn’t see McKirdy ?

Who was number 35 ?

No sign of McKirdy, Boyle or Miller.

35 is Jack Brydon, looks a fair size for his age!

Bojang also back training.

Emmanuel Johnson also there, not heard much about him or his loan spell with Edinburgh so interesting to see how he develops

[wookie70]

I think McGeady could be useful if he gets fit. I wouldn't have signed him due to his injuries and age but he showed he will put a shift in and there is no doubt he is a quality player. Hope he gets fit soon

[BlackSheep]

I think Emmanuel has been excellent in his loan spell as far as im led to believe... he was sat behind me in the west on Saturday too along with Dabrowski and some other youth players. Our young team seems to be setting the heather alight so im hopeful we will see some of them in the first team squad this year or next.

[Roxyhibee]

McGeady would be very useful if we could get him fit, in particular as someone has already said, second half of the season. Think he’d be absolutely bursting to come onto a tight, cautious derby match or home game against the Huns.

[Unseen work]

I’m really excited about the prospect of getting McGeady fit.

I think he was looking good in pre season and getting sharper with every game.

My main thing with him is he has that quality and composure in the final third that we lack at times. I think with him, Boyle and Kuharevich we would have a front 3 all capable of setting up each other and taking a chance when they get it. His ability from set pieces, especially free kicks around the box would also be a huge boost.

I think Emmanuel has been excellent in his loan spell as far as im led to believe... he was sat behind me in the west on Saturday too along with Dabrowski and some other youth players. Our young team seems to be setting the heather alight so im hopeful we will see some of them in the first team squad this year or next.

Have Edinburgh got more than one Johnson? There was a Johnson came on as sub on Saturday.

Me too, I thought he looked class.

With us now having a "proper" number 9, you could see McGeady, Myko and Boyle being a cracking front line in a 433.

Seems like positive news on Nisbet, McGeady not so much.

I still genuinely feel McGeady could be a huge player for us second half of the season. I really hope this niggle goes away so that he can show his quality

It’s not a niggle though is it - it’s a recurrence of a major medial ligament injury. Must still be questions over whether he will fully recover …hope he does. Don’t get me wrong - but those type of injuries at his age, will leave the knee weaker Won’t fully recover .

That doesn't sound good. Hope he makes it back but real concerns he'll never kick a ball for us now.

6-12 weeks initial prognosis, think it has now been 16 weeks.

Hopefully he can get back but no longer expecting it

Yeah looks like we'll need to start planning for a future without McGeady.

It doesn't look likely that he'll feature much, if at all, for the rest of the season.

[Hibiza]

Is an injury free McGeady interested? Have my doubts unfortunately.

[HoboHarry]

What on earth are you talking about?

[Smartie]

Is an injury free McGeady interested? Have my doubts unfortunately.

I'd expect that a player who will be a very long time retired may very well be interested in his last wee while as a professional player being as enjoyable and as productive as possible.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

That's an odd question to ask. However, given McGeady's age and injury history, it's a fair to question how many games we will get out of him this season. I don't think that his professionalism is in question?

[Lago]

I agree, don't think we will see much of him in a Hibs top

[JimBHibees]

Plan for a future without McGeady? Won’t that look pretty much like the present?

[cameronw-hfc]

Based on?

In fairness, the way he's been treated by our fans in a short time here, mostly injured, wouldn't blame him if had didn't care. Some mad comments about him because he had the audacity to pick up an injury.

He seemed interested when he was injury free.

[hibsforeurope]

I certainly hope not. either way, i don't think, McGeady would make much difference to our issues now.

[I'm Spartacus]

'McGeady will be amazing'
'McGeady will be Tom Kite'

If we get one goal out McGeady, or even one assist, then I'll be happy, it's more than we are currently getting.

Expect nothing and anything is a 100% bonus.

[heretoday]

He'll last about five minutes.

[I'm Spartacus]

He'll last about five minutes.

If he does - welcome to the club :)

[NAE NOOKIE]

For the most part any criticism has been aimed at the club, not McGeady. When we signed him a lot of fans were asking questions because he had not long recovered from a serious long term injury and at this stage of a players career the possibility of a recurrence is always on the cards.

As things stand it's open to question whether he will ever make any meaningful contribution, so the folk who were doubtful about the wisdom of signing a player of his age with a recent serious injury on his CV are being proved right, at least so far.

If the fans are annoyed at any player for getting injured it's Mitchell, they guy has barely kicked a ball for us because of one injury after another, few of which seem to be picked up in games, at this stage it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask if he is up to the rigors of being a professional footballer .. if I was him I'd be working hard on my coaching badges.

[JimBHibees]

I think he clearly would. Can imagine him having a decent expectation of performance which we lack imo on the pitch especially when struggling

It is extremely unreasonable to ask that. Ridiculous even.

[hhibs]

McGeady once hes back playing will add quality which we need. Hes a good player, was playing well before his injury.

Not sure he was IMO,seemed to struggling to get to match fitness and his return will likely see this again.

To be clear, I hope I am wrong, cause we sure as **** need something.

[NAE NOOKIE]

It is extremely unreasonable to ask that. Ridiculous even.

To ask what mate?

[MWHIBBIES]

To ask what mate?

If he's mentally and physically strong enough to be a footballer. He's a young man with a young family who has had dreadful injuries which have hurt his development and career. Rotten shame and I hope the club continue to support him.

Nobody mentioned being mentally strong. It’s not ridiculous to ask if he’s physically able because his injury record suggests there’s a good chance he isn’t.

[BoomtownHibees]

Not sure where the mentally strong bit comes in

[MWHIBBIES]

Nobody mentioned being mentally strong.

No, fair enough. Just how I interpreted the post.

Hibs fans have no right to be annoyed at any injured player, unless he's got injured dicking about off the pitch.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Well no it isn't mate. The guy has had injury after injury and as a result contributed next to nothing on the pitch in the near on 10 months since joining the club. None of his injuries that I am aware of come under the heading of 'dreadful' ... dreadful is a broken leg or cruciate ligament injury, not a seemingly never ending run of hamstring and soft tissue injuries.

I am all for supporting players who have injuries that lead to a long term recovery being required and that includes mental health issues ... but when a player isn't in the team week after week following one niggling injury after another then you have to ask if he will ever be an asset, he didn't even make it to half time on his most recent appearance.

The brutal truth is this is a bog standard club in one of Europe's financially poorer leagues, we are not Man United and we can't afford to keep players on the books who don't seem able to get through training, never mind actual games, without pulling up injured. Football is an unforgiving business mate, every player knows that and a player who looks like he simply can't get through a fortnight without picking up a new injury has to be aware that a new contract is about as likely as him scoring the winner in the world cup final.

[lyonhibs]

I admired the optimism of those who were chuffed with the signing at the time but I had a feeling that we'd see precious little of McGeady in a Hibs top. I hadn't anticipated this little though

Sure he scored on his debut against Livingston I think at start of last season.
