Dirty *******!
That’s as bad a tackle I’ve seen this season.
ooh st johnstone playing in that ghastly mar*on strip again
Referee gave a yellow to begin with?
Shock!Quote:

You’d hope so but really it lies with the player and whether they want it or notQuote:

Gray's job is to get results and not particularly care how they're achieved. If he can do that consistently then he can start to think about extras like entertainment. It beggars belief that there are still some who would rather NOT have the success rate a manager like Derek McInnes brought to Aberdeen because they claim not to have liked the style of football. Especially as evidence of freeflowing 'Hibs way' type football at ER has been all but non-existent for years now.
Non Hibs games thread even infected these days.
The thing about it though as much as football is about results it’s also about fans going or watching games to enjoy a good game of football which is entertainment, no? .Quote:

McInnes record while good repeatedly comes up by a minority on here like yourself though there was circumstances that helped him achieve it at time that we won’t see probably happening again…
It’s not just Hibs fans like myself that have said they don’t like his style of football but Aberdeen and Killie ones too and probably a reason he hasn’t got any offers from a championship club in England and why both Edinburgh clubs and Aberdeen didn’t move or him too …
Under a manager that’s teams play like McInnes it would be fine when things are going well though once they start not too that’s when he’d come under more criticism than most at our club . Hell , we seen it with Jack Ross and even today I answered another poster who referred to our football as ‘ rank rotten’ and ‘ turgid stuff’ under Gray which is why McInnes would be a recipe for disaster at Hibs though I do think some of you idolise the guy and his name will get mentioned tomorrow and the next , the day after that etc etc ..
It'd much better to play sheite and lose than to play sheite and win. You are starting to believe your own lies about how bad Aberdeen were, when the stats say different.Quote:

You say I’m lying BH though that’s simply not correct is it and I think you know that as Aberdeen were on bad run before they sacked him , he had one at Bristol City and two at Killie now .Quote:

50% more goals ? . You have me on that one tbf .Quote:

In my lifetime (44 years) Hibs have managed consecutive top 4 finishes only once (2004/5 and 2005/6).Quote:

I just can't comprehend the mindset behind such a stance.
I don't think that really is the mindset. I get the impression that it's more about the fact Rangers were one of the numerous clubs McInnes played for. Based on that Alex Ferguson would not have been the right man for the job either.Quote:

Yes, you'd think the "non-Hibs games" text would be a clue that this thread isn't about Hibs.Quote:

****ing hell. Now McInnes’ teams don’t score goals in the right fixtures. It was against Dundee, so there should be a caveat to the fact they’ve scored 9 :faf:Quote:

Probably the same place you got my main reason for not wanting him because he’s a hun :wink:Quote:

Even if he fails to emulate McInnes's achievement in finishing 2nd above Rangers, not just once but twice in succession?Quote:

I don’t think he will because as poor as we think the huns are now they are still a lot better than the one that came back into the premier league back then…Quote:

England player done great to stop it going in … another mistake from Pickford , lucky for him it was offside.Quote:

England can lose at home to Greece in League B. And lose all their other Nations league games. Get relegated to League C
Doesn't matter.
They'll still be pot 1 in the draw for World Cup Qualifying on Friday 13th December
Scotland however, if we lose all our League A Nations league matches, will be punished by dropping to pot 3 for the World Cup Qualifying draw
As an extra kick in the chuckies - in order to be in pot 2 and not pot 3, guess one of the nations we need to finish above in the FIFA World Rankings and therefore we really could have done without them winning 2-1 at Wembley?
Yup.
