Porto

[dp00]

Hope he goes, cost first goal with a silly challenge resulting in free kick, then spent game punting it up field aimlessly

No where near as good as he thinks

Normally I'd agree but we'll just replace him with a 17 year old from Boavista or something.

[yerauldda]

Total loser. Rocky consistently better than him this season.

[Northernhibee]

If he was half the player he thought he was he’d be at Man City.

[BoyledEgg]

All he had to do was knock it out the park, instead he think he’s better than what he is and tries something daft resulting in a free kick. Brutal.

[Mon Dieu4]

Will go on to have a class career as he's a class player, hope Hibs are in the process of telling him that he's not being sold in this window now Rocky looks to be ****ed

[cameronw-hfc]

Been slated for saying he's been crap, but he's been crap this season for the most part. Few nice passes and everyone forgets his consistent bombscare moments, needless fouls and shocking dives.

[Northernhibee]

When he moves to a bigger club he’s going to have a hell of a shock if he goes in with the same attitude.

[Since452]

You can see why he's never won a derby.

[neil7908]

He's still maddeningly inconsistent. I think moving is right for him but he could he got us soon money at least.

He'll need to cope with being a small fish in a big pond, the opposite of here. We'll see if he has the mentality for that. Players and managers in Italy won't be putting up with some of the pish he gets up to.

[Swedish hibee]

Let's not turn on our own.

[CMac1988]

He's got all the right attributes but still makes the same mistakes. Woefully inconsistent and on the balance of play has cost us more this season in points against contribtuions. More talented than the opposition centre halves but they were solid and made less misatkes combined than he made alone. Replaceable... just not by our management/recruitment team.

He'll go on to have a good career and a fresh start will probably do him wonders.

[yerauldda]

Let's not turn on our own.

I don’t think it’s turning on our own. Nowhere near as good as is often made out.

Been in the first team for 5/6 years and hasn’t won a derby. Dreadful today.

[Since452]

Let's not turn on our own.

One of our own that doesn't want to be here ? **** him. Hope he's out the club tomorrow.

[neil7908]

Let's not turn on our own.

If he was our own he would have signed a new contract with the club. He can't have it both ways.

[Smartie]

You can see why he's never won a derby.

:agree:

He lacks the most important attributes, the type that are the difference between the teams on days like today.

There are a few such characters in our team right now.

[Carheenlea]

If Rocky’s injury proves to be a bad one then Porto might have to be told all bids will now be off. He can bide his time till sumner.

He doesn't have the ability to concentrate under pressure for 90 minutes.

That's essential in his position.

See the players on the other side today who were playing in his position.

I don't think this Hibs team improves until he's gone and we've got over thinking he's some sort of indispensable superstar rather than a talented but error prone dafty.

He's actually a pretty deficient footballer between the ears imo.

Couple of solid centre backs who love to just defend please 🤞

[the_ginger_hibee]

Stormed down the tunnel and threw his top away. Played for himself as usual. Be glad to see him gone if only we had any kind of competency in the transfer market to replace, but we don't.

[madhatter]

Hope he gets sold pronto. He's got talent but his ego is a big problem, in his game and in his attitude generally.

Needs to go to a club where he's not a guaranteed starter every week regardless of how he plays.

[Greencore]

Let's not turn on our own.

Not a hibs fan, no true hibs fan would leave for nothing. Even Jason Cummings signed a deal to get us cash, Let Blackburn deal with his Billy big baws attitude. Guys attitude around the team is shocking.

[DH1875]

Will be going nowhere is window IF Rocky has broken his leg.

[truehibernian]

Played for himself today, wanted too much time on the ball, caught out of position and in possession, Rocky bailed him out time and time again. Thought Rocky was excellent today. Much better prospect than Porteous let me tell you.

[LewysGot2]

So, if Rocky is injured and Hanlons bum is oot the windae...does he even get to go, now?

[Iain G]

Probably best if he goes, as long as we get in two new centre backs.

10 days till the window closes...where are these likely recruits? A completely new defence is a gamble.

Our recruitment over the last 3 years has left us with no sense of who we are as a team. Ultimately it is recruitment on the park we've got very, very badly wrong

I wonder if they'll think twice about letting him go now. Let's hope Rocky is okay

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Cost us once, luckily it was only once. Wants all day on the ball or hits the deck at first sign of contact

Really infuriating as he has plenty talent

[Heisenberg]

Sell him.

[LaMotta]

John Collins on the radio today saying Porto played well. At the end of the day though a mistake from him has cost us yet again and he leaves us having never won a derby.

[EGL2000]

Was really poor today, seemed to take an age to play any pass or turn back into trouble constantly.

We gambled on a new forward line in this window a few years back and MacLaren and Kamberi helped proppel our season forward, so it is possible!

With will fish in the team? Hanlon? He’s the best cb we’ve had for years, be careful what you wish for

Get rid of everyone who doesnt want to be here.

What about our recent recruitment makes you think we can find not one, but two centre halves of decent quality in the January window?

The recruitment team are not delivering and have not delivered, on the whole, for a few years. If we get this DoF, maybe things will change, but not in the next 10 days, I'd think

Thanks for your service Porto.

But your potential - at Hibs - has eluded you.

No derby wins. Tssk.

[Roxyhibee]

With all due respect to John Collins, I have no idea what game he was watching. Porteous’ performance today was poor - panicky distribution with little pressure on him and slow and careless with the ball at his feet.

I know the guy has ability and when he’s on his game, he can be superb - but he just doesn’t play at that level anything like as consistent to be considered a top player. I’d much rather just have a consistent, braver centre back who clears his lines.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Did he give a farewell or straight down the tunnel? Likely his last outing in a Hibs shirt?

[Hibiza]

One of the few at the club who can actually play football, i dread to think what we’ll look like without him 2nd half of the season

C'mon Sur, he's ( Porto) a decent player - nothing more.

[Stubbsy90+2]

Been slated for saying he's been crap, but he's been crap this season for the most part. Few nice passes and everyone forgets his consistent bombscare moments, needless fouls and shocking dives.

He’s not been any better than decent since he broke through.

I don’t see the loss that others are seeing.

[LaMotta]

He'd have had a hard job waving at most people who were halfway down St Clair St by the time the full time whistle went.

He's got qualities no doubt, but mistake after mistake has been glossed over in the last few years by some fans because people like his personality. I can't say that I'll miss him that much.

Top player who isn’t progressing with us. Showed in his international debut what he’s capable of but for his own good he needs to move on.

[lyonhibs]

Thinks he's Beckenbauer and is woefully short of that yardstick.

Still makes the same genre of mistakes he did as an 18 year old, it's time for him to go (but by the sounds of it that is likely to not be allowed to happen)

[where'stheslope]

Tho Porto tries hard to be Billy Big Baws, but he makes a mistake and blames whoever is nearest to him?
Again today, goes down holding his face then jumps up when no whistle blows???
I'm sorry, but again today the pundits called him out for feigning injury during the game, also alluded to the Aberdeen penalty when he dived in the Hertz box??
He could be such a good player, but I think he makes himself a target with his stupid antics!!!!

He need to go now. May as well get money. Season is over.

[Fratelli]

Really hoped his inclusion in Scotland squads would improve his attitude and but sadly not.

From early on today, it was clear he was playing as if it was his swan-song and not for the team, dallying on the ball, clutching his head and going down after challenges and giving away stupid free-kicks, one leading to the first goal and giving away an almost identical one in the same position soon after.

Wherever you end up Ryan, just cut out the nonsense and concentrate on your game and your career will be better for it.

[BoomtownHibees]

Season definitely isn’t over

[H18 SFR]

John Collins on the radio was an interesting one today. He relentlessly talked the performance up and even more so Lee Johnson. Just a hunch but he came across to me as someone with a vested interest in something - more than just a punditry opinion. He’s been interviewed for the DoF role in my humble opinion.

I agree but Hearts did exactly the same twice second half to slow play or cause it to stop. Gamesmanship- not that I like seeing it.

The problem I have with Ryan is his overall attitude and thinking he’s better than he actually is. He’s been really really poor this season, and he doesn’t command the box as a really good centre half should. Played for himself today, not the team - I think that’s one of the main reasons our defence has no synergy or collective spirit. He’s the issue in my eyes.

[CL0762]

He could’ve done a million and one things with he had all the time
In the world, decided to be a smart arse and somehow ended up conceding a free kick.

I don’t buy the ‘he’s not as good as he thinks he is’ but I certainly don’t think he’s anywhere near good as some on here think he is.

Another *****bag performance in a derby, goodbye.

[CL0762]

Aye it was. He could’ve shielded out for a throw yet swings his left leg at it, completely miss-hits it and ends up fouling Ginnelly. Absolutely brutal ‘defending’.

[Ray Donovan]

It's been a horrible day all round to be a Hibs supporter. Porto is one us and although he is leaving I don't get hate.

He obviously wants to move his career on elsewhere but I'd like to think if you've seen the picture of him as a young Hibs fan you'll understand that he knows what it means.

Jason Cummings has nothing to do with it. If he never met Lennon in Paris then he may have left. He did a year later anyway.

Defo not got knifes out for him, just think he has been to blame for plenty this year despite his moaning at others

Today we were on top of the game , he could have put ball out let everyone get back into position but decides to try be fancy , fouls the player then we lose goal from resulting free kick

He believes his own hype , will be found out at a club where he is a small fish in a big pond. He has been no better than Hanlon this year yet Hanlon is constantly slaughtered

Should of had a penalty in 2nd half. Surprised nothings been said about it.

[A Hi-Bee]

Good luck to the big guy, he is a very fine football player, but prone to the occasional mishap, yes he should even have just belted the ball into the stands and no foul would have happened. he is still young as far as centre halfs go and he will just get better and better, no sure how we can afford to replace him.

[Bristolhibby]

Did that not happen at Tynecastle earlier on this season? A carbon copy.

If in doubt, put it out.

[Saint Hibee]

Get a grip. Porto is a born and bred Hibby, one of the best players we’ve had in recent years, and for what it’s worth, that was never a free kick! (Or if you think it was, then the one against Youan just before Shankland’s goal was too).

I don't disagree with most of what you have said. I think abuse of Hanlon is also not on - considering what he hes given to Hibs.

Porteous made a stupid foul, a mistake. However,we still need to defend it. I've not watched it back but it was the first time they were in our half all game and we concede.

As I said earlier after reading this thread and watching the game I thought it was a bit too far considering he's a Hibby.

[allmodcons]

Agree 100%.

He has a large number of suitors because he's a good player.

There is no way we will replace him with a better player.

Incredible how so many on these boards turn on our best players.

Porto is not the problem at Hibs.

Can’t actually believe what I’m reading here. We will need to recruit very well to replace Porteous. His use of the ball, playing out from the back, his pure passion for Hibs is second to none. He’ll be missed a lot when he goes and hard to replace. Yes he makes mistakes, and sometimes his emotions get the better of him but he cares and that can’t ever be questioned.

First goal today was embarrassing, he should’ve been in complete control of the ball but spent too much time watching his man and not the ball. Happened fair few times. He’s a good player but hasn’t matured since he came into the team.

[Vault Boy]

We’ll miss him desperately, perhaps more than a few in here believe.

If he's bad as you think, why has he made the Scotland squad and why is he being pursued by numerous other Clubs/Managers.

You can say that for just about anyone though.

St Mirren fans could have pointed to JDH and the fact a bigger team like Hibs wanted him. Others potentially wanted him to. Just cause other teams want you it doesn’t mean you’re anything special.

Nobody seemed all that keen on Porteous before he became (almost) free, did they? Maybe these teams see him as worth a small punt but nothing more, it’s hardly a ringing endorsement.

As for the international appearances he made 1 appearance. Hundreds of players have made an appearance for Scotland and then vanished never to be seen again.

[madhatter]

Life goes on...

Porteous is a decent defender but his strength is passing. His defending isn't great. Finding a better CB to do the core aspect of defending will not be that difficult. His passing will be hard to replace. We need a solid defence first and foremost though.

Bang on the money about Cadden's defending. Absolutely abysmal. He has no positional sense whatsoever and can't get close enough to his man to put in a tackle.

A massive weakness which is going to cost us time after time as it has done already.

[Hibs3-2]

Porteous will have a better career than any hibs player we have this season.

[Stubbsy90+2]

Porteous will have a better career than any hibs player we have this season.

Will he? We’ve already got a squad with Scottish Cup Winners like Boyle who have achieved way more in the game, loads of international caps, helping his team qualify for the World Cup, we’ve got guys with EPL experience etc.

He won’t match them imo.

[JimBHibees]

We’ll miss him desperately, perhaps more than a few in here believe.

Tend to agree

[CL0762]

Let’s keep Porteous because he is ‘pure passionate’ about Hibs.

All I see weekly is a defender who tries to do fancy stuff when simple stuff is required and points and moans at every **** else around him.

[500miles]

aye, so much so he’s prepared to leave making sure Hibs get heehaw

Hibs have not supported Porto. We could have ruined his career when we played him through his dislocated knee. We did absolutely heehaw when it was open season in the press. We said nothing with the SFA added games to his ban because his name is Ryan Porteous.

He doesn't owe us a thing.

[McD]

Porteous will have a better career than any hibs player we have this season.


mcGeady and Marshall would both disagree, both massive amount of caps for their countries and won a lot in their time at celtic

none of which has anything to do with his “pure passion for Hibs”

I’d also say RP has to take some ownership of some of those issues, Hibs had nothing to do with him throwing a glass, which led to poor press. He’s also been his own worst enemy with some of his red cards (not all of them). I do think the club should have spoken out about the additional game added when we appealed it.

[cameronw-hfc]

Porto can be a great player, but too many are blinded by the fact he's got potential and is a Hibby. He's consistently at fault for goals, does things a player of his ability should never be doing, has ramped up the diving and such this season. He's going to go elsewhere and get a boot up the backside, but I feel like he's stalled massively at us. Isn't improving, keeps making the same mistakes.

Total loser. Rocky consistently better than him this season.

Aye yet Rockys season seems over, so, that changes things.

Rockys injury could cost us £200k as we will need to keep Porto now wont we?

Think we're better off letting Porteous go and try and spend the money on a first choice centre defender for the next few years. Ideally, 2.

Wouldn't mind Jack Fitzwater.

Porto can be a great player, but too many are blinded by the fact he's got potential and is a Hibby. He's consistently at fault for goals, does things a player of his ability should never be doing, has ramped up the diving and such this season. He's going to go elsewhere and get a boot up the backside, but I feel like he's stalled massively at us. Isn't improving, keeps making the same mistakes.

He isn’t improving with us because he is his own worst enemy.

We’ll miss him desperately, perhaps more than a few in here believe.

Don't agree.
Best for both parties he goes.
His career hasn't progressed and I still think Hibs is his level.
He had a wee purple week in which he got his cap but not convinced he can play at a higher level.
Hope I'm wrong as I wish him all the best.
