Not the happiest with Johnson.

[Trinity Hibee]

Not sure what his complaints are. Was injured the whole time. Should be grateful LJ took a chance on him at all

[hibee-boys]

Does that bloke ever have anything positive to say about anyone other than himself. He should be grateful LJ signed off a years wages for him, what did we get in return🙈

The fact that he brought him back in at Sunderland and then chose to sign for him afterwards suggests he had respect for him.

Struggling to see why he'd be pissed off at LJ for being perma injured.

[Since452]

He's playing for Ayr United for a reason. Don't think LJ was anything but respectful to him in the media. Terrific player when fit but he hardly ever was and sure he picked up a fantastic wage. We've moved on, he should too.

[Hillsidehibby]

I think I only saw him once and he went off injured

[HibsGW]

Poor mcgeady getting paid 7k a week or whatever to do **** all cos he’s always injured and through in Glasgow watching Celtic games whilst we’re playing

[Hibees1973]

Another one who contributed little when he was here.

Red flags all over his fitness/injuries prior to joining Hibs.

Took more than he gave while he was here and yet another lamentable signing made over the last couple of years.

[BILLYHIBS]

Had quick feet for an auld guy on his day probably the best player in the league just couldn’t stay fit long enough

Was it worth the investment probably no

LJ more than showed faith in him just didn’t work out sadly but loved watching him while it lasted

[WestStandWillie]

Made of glass whilst on a hefty wage and loved a trip to Lennoxtown - get it up him. Not a loss for us in the slightest.

[Pretty Boy]

About 8 months ago McGeady was a great signing, no one could have foreseen his injury and there was no way anyone could question the recruitment team and their decision to sign him.

Fast forward to now and he's a disrespectful wage thief and there were all kinds of red flags before we even signed him.

[Hannah_hfc]

Typical media click bait as it’s hardly “blasting” LJ. From watching the clip it sounds more like a tongue in cheek comment than a dig.

OK Aiden, thanks for contributing **** all and keeping the treatment table warm. Please don't return to ER again, ta.

[easty]

Face like a skelpt arse and an attitude to match.

[Smartie]

I deeply disliked him before he joined us but I knew the Sunderland fans held him in high regard so was prepared to give him a chance.

When fit, I thought he looked like he was still an absolutely cracking football player and it’s a real shame he was injured as much as he was. The glimpses when injury free were great though.

Now he’s gone though and started this - it just appears once more that he’s a torn-faced ********. I don’t like ungratefulness, and to chuck this in the direction of a manager who has signed him and backed him a few times well into his thirties and who he’s been unable to repay due to injury reflects badly on McGeady.

I love the football player, can’t stick the man.

[Brightside]

The headline doesn't really match the interview as per usual. Odd signing. Poor attitude. No hibs connection from him at all.

:agree:
Should never have been anywhere near the club.

[Hibbyradge]

Does that count as throwing LJ under a bus?

(Cue the "I'd throw him under a bus" remarks. :wink:)

[BILLYHIBS]

Watching the VT looks like he was looking / hoping for an extension to his existing contract

Eh No!

Plenty people questioned the decision to sign him due to his injuries.

It might be an attempt at tongue in cheek but as easty says, he's got a face like a skelpt arse. 😀

He's effectively saying LJ threw him under a bus twice so this is him grabbing LJ and pulling him under the bus beside him.

Deliberate timing with the Villa game tomorrow.

[Carheenlea]

He always comes across as a top bloke.

Laugh-a-minute.

So engaging you could listen to him for hours.

[lyonhibs]

Was pretty sure this signing wouldn't work out at the time and said so, given his age and probable injury proneness.

With the exception of a couple of short spells, the scepticism was well founded sadly

[Hibernian Verse]

That's true, but they were made up injuries.

He's been injured twice since 2019, once he missed 11 games for Sunderland and then got a really dull one at Hibs and missed 32 games.

Sunderland was a knee injury, and his Hibs one was totally unrelated.

He's missed 86 games over 13 years, or just under 7 a season and that's when you include a full season out at Hibs. Prior to that was 52 games in 12 years, or 4 a season.

Aside from his injury problems, I’d hoped he would be a senior pro who could help create the right attitude within the squad. Not sure he did; not sure he even turned up at ER to support his employers.

What was the point?

Had he not just missed the whole second half of his last season at Sunderland, getting fit enough to play (but not being selected to do so) right at the very end of that season?

He then joined us that summer.

It sounds like he's annoyed we didn't offer him another contract but surely he can't have any complaints after having missed so much football with us through injury?

[Hibbyradge]

LJ must have thrown him under the bus, pulled him to safety, then chucked him under again. Sounds nasty.

It's a strange one though.

He played for LJ at Sunderland, came to the conclusion that he was a snake while he was there, (although only repeated in private), signs for him again at Hibs, and now bad mouths him in public.

If he disliked LJ that much, it says a lot about his principles that he signed for him again because,
presumably, we made the highest offer.

McGeady comes across as like a woman scorned, tbh.

[Northernhibee]

Would genuinely rather listen to Craig Levein talk about his favourite carpet samples for eight hours than one minute of an Aiden McGeady interview.

No doubt he’ll be out for another four months after the exertion of that interview.

[Chorley Hibee]

Exactly.

If you want some respect then start by showing Hibs some.

You can **** off and watch Celtic all you like now.

[007]

Is this what he classes as LJ throwing him under the bus? (After his hamstring went when he ran a little bit)

It's such a brief clip that it's not easy to put it into context. From what he says there though I don't get his gripe. Barely played due to injury, played well (I thought) when fit but overall didn't make a big enough contribution to justify a contract extension.

Yeah he missed 11 games. But the injury he then got at Hibs was completely unrelated, it was just bad luck.

[Smartie]

I'm sure it was many more than that.

He made 14 appearances for Sunderland during his final season there (according to wiki) and I'm sure he was injured during the November of 2021. That's not a lot of appearances in a 46 game league season, when you've got 3 cups to play in as well. I'm sure he was just at full fitness when they reached the play offs and since his end product had been excellent when fit at Sunderland, there was quite a bit of chat about whether or not he should come back into a team that had been doing much better in his absence during the second half of that season.

Pretty sure he then had 2 unrelated injuries at Hibs - not sure whether that is more or less of a problem tbh ie he's simply getting more and more different injuries rather than there being an existing weakness.

[McD]

AM himself is quoted in this article saying the first injury he got at Hibs was a reoccurrence of what happened the previous season at Sunderland. It also makes reference to a series of lengthy injury layoffs during his latter time there.

[WhileTheChief..]

McGeady should stfu.

He did nowt whilst with us and got paid handsomely for doing so.

Crap signing from the get-go and should never have been anywhere near our club. Screw him.

Hopefully we don’t make a similar mistake again.

[Highwayman]

McGeady is a serial moaner and whiner,so I wouldn’t give much credence to what he says.
During his time at Hibs he did an interview on Sportsound about his career.He slagged of every club and manager he’d ever played for.
His views on Neil Lennon,made Lee Johnson in comparison sound like McGeady’s favourite uncle.
He’s at Ayr United now where him and Jamie Murphy can keep the treatment table warm.

Got a chance when he looked like a crock - and turned out to be a crock.

He was good when he -layed but he was getting a big wage to sit in the sick bay. Hibs can’t afford that.

I always had Levein down as more of a linoleum sort of a guy. Easier to keep clean.

[Bobby's Cinema]

He had talent but couldn't get himself on the pitch. Didn't provide any end product. Spent his down time on sportsound following celtic around europe referring to them as "us" and watching celtic youth at the weekend. And now slating the manager that gave him the chance. A guy that did not get us. Very strange.

You have to love football fans:greengrin I think plenty on here questioned his signing for the exact reason it turned out to be a disaster. It was a punt and in my mind not one I wanted the club to take. If he had been a good sort like Holt or Le Fondre then there may be some value that fans don't see. But he is all about himself and that shows through in that interview.

There were plenty of us who thought it was a crap signing 8 months ago!

Aiden McGeady is a miserable package, with all his money you would think he would lighten up a bit, convinced he is related to the Rev. I.M. Jolly.
