How many nails are currently in it then?

Quite a few after May 19th, I'd suggest?
That's not me shouting for him to go - Just a realistic point of view that the SC disaster has seriously cut short the amount of slack he'll get from the majority of the support.

That a shame cause i reckon he will do well at Hibs, put it this way the boy got shot of alot of players after that disaster, something which the majority of Hibs fans have been calling for, for years.
Huge job for the guy, however i reckon he will pull through and in a few seasons we will be moaning about him going to Celtic :rolleyes:

I think he deserves immense credit for getting that shower through to a final in the first place, but get what you mean. It probably would have been better for him to have gone out early doors.

Scott to Ross County ... as expected

Neil Alexander is at Pre-Season training with Rangers today, a fair few didn't turn up and Ness is rumoured to be close to signing for Stoke. SSN, sorry if already posted.

Doesn't spend his time in Tigerlily and Lulu, doesn't smoke, coaches in his spare time, loves a game of cards admittedly, and hasn't really let Hibs down. Doesn't tweet or Facebook that often and hasn't been arrested in nightclubs hours after a league defeat.
Broony will do for me. We need professionals, not clowns. Good keeper, needs to work on kicking, but solid. Happy for him being a Hibee. We ditched the right one.

See where you are coming from mate, but the above are the minimum requirements for any professional football player. Admittedly Brown has these qualities, however, they alone don't make a good player , they still need talent and there are a lot better keepers out there.

He's a good keeper mate. Put a better, more resilient defence in front of him and full backs who close down - you'll see an even better one.

Doesn't save any shots at goal that are either side of him, doesn't instill any confidence to the back 4, and doesn't come off his line, and doesn't kick the ball well at all, he's anything but solid. I'd rather have Andy McNeil.:rolleyes:

We can all be selective BH. I do recall Broony making saves in the Ayr Utd game last minute to keep us in the Cup at ER, or fingertip saves from Skacel at Tynie from a free kick, or penalty saves v 'Well in the League Cup.....all either side of him.
Agree about his distribution. But other than that, for me he is more consistent on and off the field, and other than a finger injury, pretty much always off the treatment table.

I just disagree, even a clock is right twice a day. I think he's a poor keeper, and hopefully he's a reserve at best. We need much better than someone who was 2nd to Graham Stack.

All admirable qualities, unfortunately it doesn't hide the fact that he is a liability and ****ing gash!

Totally in agreement we need another keeper, and hey if it's someone like Murphy from QPR or rated, even better. I liked Cerny but he was a bit like Stack and always appeared rooted to his line.
We do need a more solid and consistent defence in front of them too though.

You need a new clock. It needs to be right more than twice a day.

No beans to spill H7, I just think we'll bring in a keeper who becomes first choice, that's all.
McPake being unveiled tomorrow could well be right though as I had a message from a CCFC 'insider' who tells me that their manager has told McPake he's free to go.

I don't get the problem Don't remember many howlers, a few decent saves, and kicks like he's got his feet on backwards.
Certainly at ICT, he was the most prolific shot stopper in the league, so he must have some ability on that score. And he conducts himself professionally.
I think he's a victim of the "Aw, everyone's *****, so he must be ***** too." mentality.

Mcpake said a couple of months ago he'd just seen the new strips and they were the best hibs tops he'd seen so i think there's been an assumption since then it was the photo shoot for the new strips that was being done that day.
Apologies Andy if you do in fact have other info or been doing some columbo work.

I'm sure the "models" were James McPake, Paul Hanlon and possibly Lewis Stevenson.

RIC flair not Hibs class, hogan too stiff and cannae run any more... looking at the miz, cm punk and James storm, although these guys are a bit out of our budget, suicide, brutus and edge will be unveiled today.

That mean we're signing Big Show as goalie & Kane & The Undertaker as central defenders?

That would be great. The bad news is I've heard we're hiring Daniel Bryan to replace Fife Hyland. Poor move IMO as we already have enough 'Yes' men in the boardroom.

Only cares about himself, likes to show off. Claims he can back it up.
I'd rather we got Sheamus as a target man.

Gladly. That will be one post regarding the incompetence of our board, one targeting a member of our playing squad, past, present or future, and another one stating imaginary figures that we have offered to a player/been offered for a player/pay a player please.
