Binned and available for loan
What an absolute waste ok 100K plus wages.
I wonder if he was the mole in the camp and the guy that was spreading the malicious rumours to the Press?Quote:

Good bit of business there.

Liam Miller was slaughtered on here, along with the likes of Riordan and even Bamba, and we've replaced them with vastly inferior players, and have a much worse team than any these players played in.Quote:

Sparky has malarky and gets a ticking off
Scotty forgotty about a training sesh and is binned.
Sounds like club discipline is directly proportional to how much the player is needed.
And that's fine by me, BTW :greengrin
My father in law will be gutted to hear that his favourite player is leaving.
Quite liked his fight on the pitch, but could also be a right fanny I've heard as well.
Mixed feelings about this one.
:lips seal Apparently notQuote:

There are others who, purely on their on-field demeanour and attributes, I'd bin before him, but I'm not sure of his influence on the squad off the pitch.
:agree: When you have proven talent in your ranks you should treasure it and not nit pick on any failings they may have be it non worker, attitude or perceived lack of fight. Exceptional skill is exceptional skill after all and it is so rare at our level.Quote:

You want to get yerself over here and watch this version of football, i'm not quite sure what the standard is like in Australia, but the liam Miller who left Hibs would stroll into this midfield imo.Quote:

I said it too, when you have quality, you need to build round it, not get rid and replace with journeymen, all you end up with is journeymen.Quote:

yep. Would take your hand off for liam miller now.Quote:

Wonder what would happen if dunfermline asked to take him on loan :cb
GGTTH
He had a huge row with Fenlon the other week, apparantly. Fantastic that Fenlon's not going to be seen to take any ***** off him and has decided to bin him.Quote:

Wonder if he will go back to Ross County, wasn't it Adams that recomended him.

Jimmy Scott= 100k and a three and a half year contract, :rolleyes: ****ing madness. Waste of money. RP must have had plenty faith in CC to be spending money like that on a waste of a shirt.
My worry with Scott is he will never play for a better club than Hibs and will never get a better wage either, yes he can go out on loan but it still means that Hibs will be paying part of his wage and still on our books, will Hibs let him leave for nothing in the summer, that's if a club will take him and we may have to pay him to get rid of him, or does he just sit it out and see his 3 1/2 contract out and collect the money by turning up for training when he can be bothered.
That's what I was led to believe. A worse player than Rankin and Miller who we got rid of. Looked dynamic and a fighter but was in fact off the pace and a clogger. No loss.Quote:

:agree: It seems some would rather watch poor players but players who are 100%ers, rather than watch players with quality at least try and do things the right way. :rolleyes:Quote:

He'll end up back at Ross County.
Think that your comments would be better directed at Derek Adams tbh.Quote:

What he has done is give a consistent standard of performance, its the (more experienced supposedly better players) who have not raised their game, or even played as well as we hoped they would, or the players they replaced.
Seems like we totally agree then.Quote:

Its **** al to do with being nice. Its about being professional. I am willing to bet Griffiths wont be anywhere near the club after hos loan spell.Quote:

He more than likely had a row with PF because he wanted to play, as for PF not taking any crap look at the Griffiths incident, we need strong players for this run in not wimps so i will reserve judgement on MS until the end of the season, has PF improved us with his take no crap attitude or do the players just not take him serious?Quote:

His rate of yellow cards per appearance is comparable to Scott Brown (Hibs version).Quote:

I mean, it would be one thing if they were just being cheap, and taking what was available on frees and cheap loans. But hardly any club in Scotland has spent a transfer fee of that size in the last 3-4 years, or given a contract of that length. So they are spending money, but don't appear to have a clue how to use it. Reading Moneyball would be a decent place to start...
Can only agree with that extraordinary signing particularly the length of contract.Quote:

Well if that's the case then Griffiths should have been first out the door.Quote:
