A decent player but with injuries hampering his career he’d a touch of the Kyle McG two about him.
Should have no difficulty in finding another club, hope it’s not in the SPL as if he could get/stay fit he could come back to haunt us.

I wouldn't worry.
He'll be injured mostly.
I’ve never been less concerned of a player coming back to haunt us.
Desperately average at best imo. Throw in the fact he’s made of glass and I’ve little doubt he’ll be in the lower leagues soon enough.
Coming out of Easter Road one afternoon my dad said that JDH was "the least adventurous player he had ever seen in a hibs shirt". Summed it up very nicely as far as I'm concerned.
I wish him well for the future, but never good enough for hibs.
He was on a decent wage, he was a average performer for an average team. He is one ill do a Google search in five years to see where he ended up.
I wish him well but the only time I can recall him being more than a baw hair above average was at home to St Mirren once when he scored two lovely goals. Apparently a bunch of his pals had come over from Ireland for the game and struck me that if the club had paid for them to come across for every match it would have been money well spent!
Seriously though - injuries hampered him but he never looked like being an outstanding performer on anything like a regular enough basis. Quite happy he's left to make room on the wage bill for someone else.
You can remember it so well you can't even remember it was Ross county.Quote:

If true, presumably for the injury he suffered at the hands of LJ?

Interesting.
JDH was one of the first team player that LJ had training separately from the main group too, I wonder if his treatment is a component of the case.
Yet picked up a decent wage while injuredQuote:

Did you expect him not to get paid? He's the good guy here.Quote:

Intersting to find out what it’s based on
It can’t be getting injured as that’s part and parcel of football. Unless it’s a Stephen Thomson v John McGinn scenario
The care afterwards?
As long as the injury wasn’t deliberate or reckless I’d be surprised if he had much of a case? Especially given we rightly continued paying him.Quote:

It’s upto a manager whether he takes part in training, there’s nothing to say players only train against other first teams players etcQuote:

If I had to defend Lee Johnson (loathe to) for a moment, do we know that he slid into JDH? Managers get involved in training and coaches fill in spaces in drills or bounce games all the time. It could be a freak accident or even JDH himself that went in on Johnson and came off worse.Quote:

Can't blame LJ. It's what sharks doQuote:

Would assume every coach at any level is likely to have joined a session at some point whether to even up numbers if players injured etc. Surely he would need to prove intent to injure or significant negligence.Quote:

F*** them both.
If his pals turn up for the hearing he might have a chance of winning
Where can you see details of the case?Quote:
