I think to blame Butcher is not right, he hardly played for him, and he never followed him around the country to the various clubs he's been to since.

Harris in my opinion is just one of those who showed a bit of promise, but failed to follow it up long term.

I wish him well, football is a cut throat business, and while he did well for a short period of time, i think we did well getting Boyle in exchange.

I don't know Harris at all but i wonder if he was mentally strong enough to play for Hibs. He maybe over thought it and took things to heart. Some guys brains are in their feet and they just get on with it but by all accounts Harris was a very bright lad and maybe couldn't handle it. His confidence looked absolutely shot under Butcher and Malpass.

I did, he was young, on loan to Berwick he was scoring for fun and has loads of time to develop. Unfortunately injuries alongside other factors meant that he never quite met that potential.

I always thought for someone that seemed so confident off the park he really lacked belief on the pitch.

He just never influenced matches, he just seemed to want to come on and play safe all the time. Maybe to do with how he was managed at the time and not encouraged to take risks, I’ve no idea but he may have had all the ability, unfortunately that’s not the only factor in making it at a club like Hibs.

Heard the St Mirren manager is going to chuck it because of transfer ideas and funds.

Injuries killed Danny. Some talent the boy has.

There were strong rumours he was going back to Ireland before the play-offs

Likewise. Never looked like he was going to make it here from the moment he broke through imo.

There’s a lot to be said for Cummings and his sometimes over confidence. If the likes of Stanton, Handling and Harris they may well have stood half a chance.

Part of the issue I think.

You’re not posting facts, you’re posting an opinion.

You are entitled to do so, but the big problem right now is that people neither know nor care about the difference between the two.

James signing yet another ex Hibs at Edin City. Has he not updated his phone book for 6 years?

There can be some of many factors why players don't make it and I don't know facts around why Danny didn't at Hibs so could only speculate. I did feel there was a big jump between Berwick and first team football and another loam to a slightly higher standard, even if it was the same league as us, would have served him well. The 4 year deal almost set him up to fail as immediately some were questioning it and expecting because of it that he should be a world beater.

At least he's not got 12 year old girls in his phone book like one of his players.

Disgraceful club

Danny was outstanding for us in two matches. Away at Livi and that time he farcically got sent off in Glasgow then lost his place in the side to Scotty Rob, both times bang in the middle of the park, confidence flowing.

Safe to say his career hasn’t went the way we all expected.

Callum Antell, Handling, Harris and Callum Crane all there now.

Basically a mini hibs

Hopefully a good platform for some of these guys to re-find (I don't think that's a word...) some form and a love of the game. If we're lucky then one or two will have a similar path to Dobbie and Robertson who dropped down the leagues to then improve and go on to have good careers. As long as they're enjoying their football then good on them.

Absolutely, as I said earlier I always thought he had potential. Out of that bunch (Harris, Stanton, Caldwell, Crane and going back Kurtis Byrne) Danny was the one I really thought would be our next big home grown signing.

I was told before the end of the Season that he had already decided he was heading back to Ireland because of family reasons Tony Fitzpatrick indicates in the interview before their playoff game he wanted to keep him before being asked if he was thinking of leaving so he was obviously pre empting a question he thought was going to be asked
But the interviewer sounded surprised and grilled him on it
So wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case

Yeah I was the same, Sammy had a great chance too. Sad how things have went. Injuries definitely ruined it for him.

Are people not allowed second chances in life? As far as I’m aware there have been no other allegations or convictions. Players football career already ruined. He made a mistake as a silly little boy and paid the price since. Away and get your daily mail.
