The Positivity Thread

[I'm Spartacus]

PLEASE, no auguring or negativity, one question and nobody else's opinion matters!

What do you feel is positive about the club just now?

Here are mine:

Squad members: Boyle, Marshall, Cadden, Rocky, Kenneh, Newell, McGeady, Nisbet and Youan. There is also a youthfulness in the squad and this will bear fruit in the future, it's raw just now but developing.

The stadium: Great experience inside and the hospitality investment will reap rewards longer term and allow us to invest.

It's not all bad, let's hear yours.

U19s and their continued trip into Europe after the 'big boys' of the glasgow bigots getting hoofed out. We have, by all accounts a group of exciting young players, not just in the 19s but right down the age groups. I would love to see a chunk of them get more 1st team opportunities, maybe we have the next Deek or Scot Brown at the club already.

[jeffers]

I love green. It’s my favourite colour.

[lyonhibs]

I'm not a Jambo.

[Irish_Steve]

Half the matches are away from home

[Hibbyradge]

Josh Campbell is developing into a much better player than a lot of folk give him credit for.

(I'm not sure that's grammatically correct but I have neither the time nor the inclination to correct it! 😃)

[hibsbollah]

At full strength Boyle Nisbet have goals in them, McGeady and Youan have trickery Campbell has drive, we have a very solid keeper and a very promising young centre back. This only really works as grounds for positivity if we imagine it’s only mid July and we still have a million in the bank to spend on five other players though.

[fiolex1]

Not as many seagulls at the games these days

Newell? You're positively off your tits! But - in the spirit of the thread - that's a great thing!

[loanheadhibby]

We don’t have to go to Tynecastle again until next season.

[Fergus52]

As pish as we are, we could easily sneak into the top 6 still so you may not get your wish :greengrin

[Donegal Hibby]

Since Rocky has signed for us he has come on leaps and bounds and will be a big player for us , I also really like this thread. :thumbsup:. :top marks

[I'm Spartacus]

Haha what a great quote! With better round him I see a great passer of the ball, the quality we will need.

Keep them coming!!

I’ve now lost my positivity 😂

[I'm Spartacus]

I’ve now lost my positivity 😂

So losing your Hibs positivity means you can positively spend time with your wife? haha

[HFC93]

If we win are next two games (not impossible) we're back in the top six and in the mix for European places.

The news that the board are looking at revisiting structure of the club is welcome.

We hopefully have an exciting signing or two lined up in this transfer window.

We have an opportunity to get revenge on Hearts in just a few weeks ( yes this could also be a negative...)

Martin Boyle will return at some point.

Tough times are an opportunity to change direction for the better. Difficult times ALWAYS lead to better days (just look at 1990 then 1991 and 2014 then 2016). And when they come they will be much better for the adversity we are going through right now.

Superb, great points! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Hibernian Verse]

We are creating a number of chances, and I think it's only a matter of time before we start converting a higher % of them. Starting Sunday.

[Spike Mandela]

Form is cyclical, it will come good. As long as the club remains on a stable financial footing we’ll just have to live with the ups and downs of being a football fan.

[Iain G]

We don’t have to go to Tynecastle again until next season.

It's positive that both Edinburgh teams will be in the Championship next year to maintain the derby :greengrin:wink:

But seriously, it's Hibs, am always hopeful, it's the only way to be. to retain hope that there are enough good occasions where they can make us proud and happy in amongst the madness and to retain some level of my sanity :flag:

And Melkerson will be our first 30 goals a season striker :thumbsup:

[One Day Soon]

Our East Stand stone hasn't fallen off the wall.

[Unseen work]

Despite results I think since the World Cup break we’ve been good in parts.

Now we’re up against teams closer to us in the league I think we’ll take care of them.

Losing to Celtic, Rangers and Hearts whilst infuriating doesn’t change my mind of where the club currently is

[linlithgowhibbie]

4 of my grandsons actively support Hibs compared to 2 who are being badly advised and are jambos

[hibee-boys]

However disappointed I am in results like the derby I’ve reached a point in my life where the outcome of a game of football is not going to massively impact on my mood. The joy of winning/celebrating a goal scored will, for me now anyway, far exceed the dissatisfaction felt by a defeat. Going to watch Hibs these days is far more about the day out and time spent with my ‘Hibs family’ than any result.

[Stuart93]

Rocky and Campbells turnaround this season

Getting Nisbet and magennis back and fit

And McGeady for me. He still looks a level above to me.

[Stuart93]

And McGeady for me. He still looks a level above to me.

I’d like to see more of him first before deciding. Hopefully can stay fit

[jeffers]

They fixed the bit of concrete under my seat that looked like it had duct tape on it.

[Up-the-slope]

Im positive about having a positive thread .... makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside..:greengrin

Oh... we actually own our own training centre :na na:

[Hibernia&Alba]

Our fans keep me positive, even when the product on the pitch is once again terrible. We constantly have our hopes built up, only to inevitably have them destroyed, but we still turn up and hope this time will be different. We have a reputation of being a tough crowd to please and of being impatient, but, when you look at the nonsense we've had to endure for decades, it's a wonder anybody still goes to games. The Hibs support always gives me hope that one day we'll have a sustained period of relative success. Ultimately it is our club; it doesn't belong to the crap manager of any given moment or the idiots who are lucky enough to be on the pitch.

[JeMeSouviens]

We didn't move to Straiton.

[Cat Stanton]

Who are the happiest though?

scraping the barrel of positivity a bit there, no...?

[theonlywayisup]

I love positivity!

I'm positive that your post is grammatically correct.

[NAE NOOKIE]

We win something on average about once every 15 years, so only 9 more years to go till the next open topped bus parade :greengrin

This, great post HA

[H18 SFR]

Despite all the Moaning of late re Block 7, the away support this season has been outstanding.

[JeMeSouviens]

I was trying to think of things I currently like about Hibs and mainly atm it's that our ground is a stone's throw from a load of great pubs.

[One Day Soon]

Yes but its a good niche one for the oldies.

[blackpoolhibs]

More and more posters are managing to get our players names right.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

3 points off 4th and 8 off 3rd, who would you like to get in our conference league group next season? I’d go for Linfield, whoever qualifies from Italy and one of the Cypriot teams.

[cabbageandribs1875]

even if we get beat this sunday we will still be *8th :smug:











*unless we get a right hammering and killie win at parkhead by several the previous day

[Ronniekirk]

Hoping we sign the two promising young Chinese players Ying and Yang to bring some much needed Balance to the Squad

[Key West]

Key players returning making a difference
and in the process boosting the confidence of others resulting in a better shape, better team and better results.

[fiolex1]

Imagine if we signed Feng Shui from China, that would bring some much needed positivety and balance to the squad

[allezsauzee]

I can't believe no-one has mentioned the training facilities yet! :greengrin

We are strong on the commercial side, have a lot of good youngsters and the stadium is magnificent.

[SaulGoodman]

Newall, Nesbitt and Bishiri look good

[CB Hibs 68]

Here is some good news.Heard Stubbsy on Talksport this morning.He hit the nail on the head when talking about a well intentioned owner who unfortunately is disconnected from the fans.He was of the opinion that the route of the problem was in recruitment and changing managers yet again wouldn’t necessarily change things.Relegation is a possibility which would be unfair on the fans. So it turns out Hibs fans aren’t the only ones going through the ringer with the way their team is run as Stubbsy was talking of his first love Everton.Problem shared and all that.

[linlithgowhibbie]

Who are the happiest though?

Hearts fan being happy doesn't worry me

[I'm Spartacus]

Here is what we have so far! See, it's not all doom and gloom. (No idea why it's spaced out like it has :( Sorry!)




The success of the under 19’s



Jeffers loves green



LyonHibs isn’t a Jambo



Josh Campbell is progressing well



Boyle Nisbet have goals in them, McGeady and Youan have trickery Campbell has drive, we have a very solid keeper and a very promising young centre back



Fiolex1 likes that there’s less birds at the game (seagulls!)



Rocky is developing well (Donegal)



Win our next 2 and we are in the euro places

Greenbeard loves good grammer (so he does)



Only 9 years until our next piece of silverware



Our fans are good for Hibernia&Alba (and us all I’m sure at times!)



Block 7 have been outstanding for H18 SFR



Blackpoolhibs loves that posters can spell our players names



Some good ‘Ying & Yang’ for balance



If we get pumped this weekend we will still be 8th for Cabbage



Hopefully there's stuff here you maybe didn't realise was a positive and it can take the focus away from the last few days and weeks.

[HoboHarry]

He'd probably not be allowed to move far from his allotted position though so he'd have a to be a goalkeeper.

[LustForLeith]

I think there’s stuff to be positive about

Hospitality is great

They’re expensive but I’ve finally been able to get a macaroni pie two games in a row

Hibs Community Foundation do a lot to help those who need it

The Changing Room initiative was started at Hibs to help men tackle mental health through football. Not only has it developed into drops ins before games and at the end of the month but it’s now spread to 27 clubs throughout Scotland

HTC is impressive

I think there are a few things to be positive about. I also think that maybe the club try a bit too hard. Be it with the signings (too many youngsters, too much media buzz about them)

I also think we’re not far off from clicking on and off the pitch

I can’t wait for it to happen
