Lewis Vaughn Testimonial

[Carheenlea]

Hibs provide the opposition for Lewis Vaughn’s testimonial on Wednesday 20th March at Starks Park.

During the international break so ideal for those looking for their Hibs fix during that time.

[Hiber-nation]

Hope we can take a decent support through, well deserved.

[Shanksaidno]

Hope we can take a decent support through, well deserved.

Always thought he might have done a job for us ... good player and good goalscorer

[BILLYHIBS]

Good Hibby

[EskbankHibby]

Excellent pro, well deserved, overcame a good few hurdles over the years.

[Pretty Boy]

Good Hibby and Raith are a club I have a real soft spot for so I'll try to get along.

[Onceinawhile]

Always thought he might have done a job for us ... good player and good goalscorer

He probably would have, if it wasn't for all the injuries.

[Shrekko]

If anyone deserves a good turnout it's this guy.

Convinced he would have played for us barring his ridiculous injury problems.

[Hibs3-2]

Tickets bought. Hopefully we take a good crowd. Hibs fan who would have been playing for us (or indeed higher) if it werent for his 4 ACL injuries

[Hibeesdaft16]

If anyone deserves a good turnout it's this guy.

:agree: Hibs and Wales I reckon he would have ended up playing for imo.

100% going to this. A nicer lad you couldn't meet.

[EdinMike]

Dabrowski will get a few cheers and selfies, I would hope !

[bod]

Good Hibby

Are there any not so good ones ?

[LewysGot2]

Bought tickets today. Something worthwhile during international break

[Hibeesdaft16]

Sure someone can buy tickets for you on Raith site - happy to do so if anyone wishes

Thanks, but it's fine. I'll buy one, just prefer that old fashioned cash method 😀

[Hibs3-2]

Just had a look at this, with a week to go, sales look pretty low from both sides. Testimonials dont seem as popular these days

[brianmc]

It's not exactly been widely advertised.

Other than the few posts on this thread I've seen/heard nothing about it.

[VoltaireHibs]

Times are tough for a lot of folk, and testimonials are a bit of a hangover from another era of football where players didn't earn vastly more than the fans. I doubt Lewis has made life changing sums but that's probably the perception for a lot of testimonials. Say a Hibs player had earned 3-5k a week at Hibs over a long period of time, why am I giving him money for his retirement?

Add to that there are very few players in the modern game that are at one club long enough to get one.

[Bridge hibs]

I only found out about it this morning

Think Lewis has had a few testimonial events such as golf and dinners etc throughout 2023 and finalising the game against his beloved hibs was the final piece to be organised

Hope he gets a decent turnout

[LewysGot2]

I bought tickets when it was first announced and forgot about them. Just realised it’s next week :idiot:

[Hibs3-2]

Few of our lot going through for this. No hibs fix during the break, decent jaunt across the bridge and shows support to big hibs fan riddled with unfortunate injuries

Hopefully ticket sales increase

[KdyHby]

Am going to hospitality, will feel odd not being among the Hibs support.

[sauzee1989]

Looks like it’s going to be an awful turnout for the guy. Shame it’s not pre season as hibs would have brought 1500

[jacomo]

I’d wanted to go to this but unfortunately not in Scotland this week. Hope there’s a decent turnout, Raith have been flying this season and hopefully it’s a meaningful workout for our squad as well as a testimonial.

[BoomtownHibees]

Should have made it pre-season

[B.H.F.C]

Seems like a really daft time to play a testimonial game.

[ancient hibee]

Hopefully Lewis will be allowed to score the winning goal.

[B.H.F.C]

Hopefully Lewis will be allowed to score the winning goal.

Monty can get tae **** if we lose to Raith Rovers. And he better no play a 442 either.

Aye Lewis Vaughan 😀

I know the guy organising it so I asked him why it wasn't at the weekend and it was because the Hibs players have this weekend off.

looking at championship fixtures for this saturday i notice Raith don't have a league game this weekend then realised it's the challenge cup final on sunday between The New Saints and Airdrie, but the organisers wouldn't have known that Raith would have had a free weekend.

Took the plunge and bought a ticket - recommendations for parking is it a nightmare?
last time I went was Yogi era for a preseason friendly. It was an absolute monsoon of biblical proportions - drains surging and everything. Players immediately soaked and the game abandoned due to a floodlight that went out and they couldn’t get it back into life. Sold all the pies and bovril first!

think I parked in an industrial estate that warned gates would be locked.

Some nice touches from Jair and glad he got a goal and assist for Hanlons goal on a plate. Nice bursts of pace. That was after settling down with some wayward shot blasted to the stand. He brought the team over to the fans. I know he divides opinion but I’m still hoping he comes good. I think he’s possibly trying too hard. In anycase Raimundo will see that we give him the best chance to resurrect himself after the managerial void that was LJ.

Couple of my mates were at the game and said it was a bit of a bizarre spectacle. Raith very much treating it as a testimonial playing at walking pace and bringing on their management team for a cameo. Hibs youngsters apparently playing at a real tempo and clearly trying to impress our gaffer.

I'd assume there would have been a discussion pre match about how each team would approach the game so no one would have been caught off guard. If we have played at a proper pace then it's good minutes in the legs for the young lads and fringe players which is welcome.

Pleasing to hear regarding the football side, we do have a few highly regarded young players in the current set up.

Maybe a new golden generation mixed with some big name signings and the league will come home to Easter Road 😁

I’m sure I read somewhere that Montgomery had told Raith we’d be treating the game like a properly friendly.

[Smartie]

Strange time of year to hold such an event.

Some time in July with the incentive of seeing a few new signings and we’d surely pack their ground out? Although maybe Raith would want (need) the revenue from a game at that time.

Not sure I’d have described it as walking pace. They did put in some crunching tackles and thump the ball out. Some good slick movement and stuff that didn’t always come off. Jair settled into the game and had an impact - as you hope. Maolida(?) put in the effort some things just didn’t come off for him and obv some of the link up play not quite as flowing due to I imagine lack of familiarity. But you could see what we were trying to do. Some good close work trying to break through the defence keeping tight turn and spin away. Murray will be kicking himself at the goal but did well I thought.

Raith were a threat - hit the bar before we scored iirc and got into some good positions and took their goal well. Never gave up.

Two additional things make that three stick in the mind:

1) that song about “Kirkcaldy….” Wtf?!
2) the mobile phone lights? Thjng what was that about?
3) the Stuart’s pies (perfect and great quality)

also booing the guy (comedy intended I’m guessing) is shan patter. As was shouting out “sh@@&£ bag” when our goalie comes for a ball / kicks. But each to their own

No no no no, Geordie Munro. What a song. Canny beat a good Fife tune :agree:

[big-mo]

It was good to see so many of the Hibs youngsters getting put in the spotlight of a larger Hibs support (slightly larger). With so many of the young players getting game time, it got me thinking, how many were born after Lewis Stevenson made his debut of Hibs. I checked, there were eleven players playing alongside Lewis who were all born after Lewis debuted in 2005. And even three that were born after he won his first cup in 2007.

As an aside, Josh McDonald got Hibs fifth on the night, Josh is still fifteen, is he now Hibs youngest ever goal scorer? (I know it was not competitive but even so).

No point playing it mid season if not going to get something out of it in terms of keeping people sharp or opportunity for young boys. Good that Monty got the whole first team squad to turn up too.

[Since452]

5-1 for the youngsters against a pretty strong Rovers team who are top of the league is pretty good, friendly or not. I know they brought on their manager etc eventually but game was done and dusted by then. We should be going out with a ruthless mindset in every game no mater if it's competitive or not. I hate the "it's only a friendly" phrase. If they weren't treating it like a competitive game then that's on them. Well done the youngsters.

Yeah I found it strange too. Wondered if it was Murray Johnson’s mates or something trying to be funny and failing.

Sone very weird behaviour by a few fans last night- some pretty cringey stuff. The 1 or 2 booing Ian Murray ... jeezo

296 appearances for Hibs. Was even a ball-boy before he played for us. Some folk are just weird.

Must have been the same guys, although I didn’t hear them call Murray a C… tho.

They probably think it’s all hilarious tho. Each to their own.

No no no no, Geordie Munro. What a song. Canny beat a good Fife tune :agree:

Agreed. A class Fitba song

I'm recently just starting to accept that we have some right strange folk in our support. Really bizarre attitude to bring to a testimonial match.

First I’ve seen of him, but Keith Wrights boy looks a player.

Is he highly rated?

Excellent, thanks! The lad who scored #5 looks about 10! Is Landers injured?

I'll try again. Anyone know where Josh Landers was last night. Is he injured?

Sorry B not me.
I obv need new specs / binoculars for the life of me could not see Monty at the dugout only SDG so was surprised to read that Monty made the changes.

Sprained ankle I heard.

Think Josh Landers was 14 when he scored for the 18s in a youth cup game a couple of seasons ago

Josh O’Connor was also only 14 when he scored in the youth cup.
I was more thinking that this was in affect the first team that he lad scored for.

As was David Marshall

And Rocky

I think his current deal is up this summer so maybe decision time for Hibs as to whether they keep him on. His grandad posts on here so he will know probably.

Just checked, and yes he signed for 2 years in July 2022.

Thanks, and to VP!
