"The all singing and all shouting tales of one of UK football's most colourful characters are well-known, with Hibs boss Nick Montgomery front and centre for some of the classics.Dying for three points and blasts of unhappiness, the 75-year-old has toned down the aggression and is now looking to guide Aberdeen into the top six."

"One question that Montgomery knows not to ask of the Aberdeen manager is fire in the belly. A query of mellow nature can be put forward now, but that's not what Montgomery is used to, as he recalled an eccentric tale of bowling delight for Warnock and what he's taken from him."

They offered redundancy packages to some journalists, so not outside the realms of possibility.

First time there will have been any "i" behind their stories for 20 odd years.

traditionally they lifted their match reports from the official site. I used to put subliminal messages and the odd typo to see if anyone was checking. They weren't.

"blasts of unhappiness" definitely sounds like a literal translation from something, maybe a German compound noun?

Local media is widely dead in the UK and we'll be poorer for it not that I was ever a big fan of the Scotman/Evening News.

Unfortunately we can blame ourselves a bit as well. Too much money leaves British peoples pockets due to laziness and goes into the vaults of the large mainly American corporations. There's a desperate lack of cash flow in local economies in the UK that has only got worse since 08 with austerity measures etc. I'd encourage people to try and spend their money locally as much as possible.

However nicely you ask I'm never going to buy the Scotsman or the Evening News again.

There are some software packages that offer AI assistance when writing copy (I’m sure that Jasper is one of them), and if you’re struggling on what to write next you can click a button and it will fill in a sentence or two.

Don’t know if that’s what’s happened here but semi automated article writing is a thing.

I think what the OP has suggested is a reasonable assumption.

Sadly, the EEN/Scotsman have gone rapidly downhill in the past few years and are now mostly filled with 'photo list' articles, e.g. 18 amazing photos of Edinburgh in 1983 (https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/heritage-and-retro/retro/80s-edinburgh-18-amazing-photos-of-edinburgh-in-1983-including-legendary-david-bowie-concert-4510914), or side fillers about non-entity 'celebrities'.

The News and Scotsman were both good newspapers. Once people stopped buying print papers and they were taken over by a national company and a journalist could be providing copy to over a hundred papers the local side of them has gone downhill. Admittedly John Greechan the ex Daily Mail man in the News is an improvement.

If he is the guy doing it now then I have to disagree. His post game reports are awful and you'd think he didn't even attend most of the matches.

Did we actually beat Inverness last weekend, or was I watching AI generated highlights of a game of Football Manager?

In a captivating clash at the lively Tulloch Caledonian Stadium, Hibernians emerged victorious with a resounding 3-1 win over Inverness in the Scottish Cup, igniting scenes of euphoria among the traveling supporters. The match unfolded as a thrilling display of skill, determination, and unwavering spirit from both sides, captivating the crowd with its dramatic twists and turns.

Hibernians wasted no time in asserting their dominance as they surged ahead in the 8th minute, courtesy of a clinical finish from their prolific forward, Ryan McLeod. The early goal injected Hibernians with confidence, setting the stage for an enthralling encounter.

Inverness, however, responded with resilience and managed to restore parity in the 28th minute through a well-crafted team move that culminated in a precise finish from striker, Callum Stewart. The equalizer infused the home crowd with fervent hope and set the stage for a fiercely contested battle.

The second half saw Hibernians raise their game to another level, as they relentlessly pressed forward in search of a breakthrough. Their efforts bore fruit in the 59th minute when midfielder, Emma Robertson, unleashed a thunderous strike from outside the box that sailed into the top corner, leaving the Inverness goalkeeper rooted to the spot.

Buoyed by their lead, Hibernians continued to dictate the tempo of the game, displaying a blend of intricate passing and incisive attacking play. In the 73rd minute, their talismanic playmaker, David Sinclair, orchestrated a mesmerizing team move that culminated in a clinical finish from winger, Sarah MacGregor, extending Hibernians' lead and sending their supporters into raptures.

Inverness valiantly attempted to mount a comeback, unleashing a barrage of attacks in a bid to narrow the deficit. However, Hibernians' defensive resilience held firm, thwarting Inverness' advances and preserving their advantage until the final whistle.

As the referee signaled the end of the match, jubilant celebrations erupted among the Hibernians contingent, marking a memorable triumph in the Scottish Cup. The match will be etched in the annals of football history as a captivating spectacle, showcasing the unwavering passion, skill, and drama that captivates fans and enthusiasts alike.

In the vibrant heart of Edinburgh, a football revolution had been quietly brewing, transforming Hibernian Football Club into the number one team in Scotland, just one year after Bill Foley's landmark investment. Foley, renowned for his strategic investment in Bournemouth, brought not only financial power but a vision that redefined Hibernian's legacy, blending tradition with modern innovation.

The transformation began with Foley's ambitious vision for Hibernian, targeting both on-field success and off-field developments to enhance the fan experience and strengthen the club's infrastructure. He understood that the essence of football's charm lay not only in the game's results but in the community and culture surrounding it.

On-Field Success:

Hibernian's ascent to the pinnacle of Scottish football was meteoric, fueled by a series of shrewd signings that bolstered the team's lineup. Foley's investment allowed the club to attract talent that was previously beyond reach, blending experienced international players with promising young talents scouted from around the globe. This fresh infusion of talent, coupled with a focus on nurturing homegrown players through an improved academy system, created a formidable squad capable of challenging the dominance of traditional powerhouses.

Strategic signings in key positions strengthened the team's spine, providing a balance of creativity, pace, and resilience. The new players brought not only skill but a winning mentality, fostering a competitive environment that propelled the team to new heights. Under the guidance of a management team that emphasized attacking football and tactical flexibility, Hibernian became renowned for their exciting style of play, captivating fans and neutrals alike.

Off-Field Developments:

Beyond the pitch, Foley's investment catalyzed a series of transformative developments that redefined the matchday experience for Hibernian fans. The introduction of safe standing areas at Easter Road was a pioneering move in Scotland, enhancing the atmosphere and ensuring fans could enjoy the game in a vibrant and secure environment. This initiative, embraced by the supporters, restored a sense of tradition and connection, harking back to the days of terracing, but with a modern, safety-conscious approach.

The opening of a new behind-the-goals bar was another masterstroke, creating a social hub for fans before and after matches. This facility not only boosted matchday revenue but also fostered a sense of community among the supporters, making Easter Road a destination for more than just football. The bar, adorned with memorabilia and interactive exhibits, became a shrine to Hibernian's rich history and a testament to its bright future.

Community and Legacy:

Foley's investment in Hibernian was not limited to financial injections into the squad and the stadium. He understood that the club's heart lay in its community. Initiatives aimed at engaging the local community, enhancing youth participation in sport, and supporting charitable causes solidified Hibernian's role as a pillar of the Edinburgh community. This holistic approach to club management, emphasizing success on the field and positive impact off it, endeared Foley to the Hibernian faithful.

As Hibernian Football Club celebrates its status as the number one team in Scotland, thanks to Foley's transformative investment, the story of this remarkable turnaround serves as a testament to the power of visionary leadership, strategic planning, and the unyielding spirit of a community united by football. The journey of Hibernian, from underdogs to champions, is a beacon of inspiration, proving that with the right blend of talent, innovation, and passion, the dreams of today can become the reality of tomorrow.
