Where are you?

Just through off Hermitage Park, IIRC.

Gannon's doing a reasonable job with not a lot of resources, IMO. I'd have been quite happy of we'd appointed him....





..... but I'n DELIGHTED we've got Yogi in charge!

There was some who did not want him, he couldnae speak proper. He lets the football and more importantly the results do his talking.

Aye - "inarticulate YOB" was the expression I remember.

Takes a sorts.

Personally, I'm no bothered how he talks - as long as he does the job.....

Gammon is a classless tit. Refusing to speak to media again today.

To be fair to him , he might have been laying into his players at the time

Or maybe he had nothing to say?

if he went round the Hibs players shaking hands at the end, he isn't classless, or a tit IMO.

[Andy74]

They are contracted to say something and he should have. He does more whingeing about the media than Romanov. He's a tit!

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Spent the whole match moaning about the stick he was getting from the Hibs fans, which was no more harsh or insulting than every other manager gets every week; notified the stewards and then the 4th official about it. Then post match refuses to speak on the match and tells his players to do the same.

Not the sort of guy i would have liked as Hibs boss...

[hibee_girl]

Motherwell manager Jim Gannon refused to speak to any members of the media and instructed his players to remain silent, too.

No explanation was given for the decision of Gannon, who also avoided the press conference after his side's 2-2 draw with Hamilton four weeks ago.

[keep the faith]

Managed in the lower leagues in England and has come up here and complained about the standard of the refs, the media and now the supporters.

Like he is used to better?????

Jog on Gannon and earn your stripes before pontificating on everything wrong with Scottish football.

Disagree, don't think he is a tit or classless - quite like the guy actually, he has the balls to stand up and be a bit controversial.

The media can be real t*ssers, it is good that he gives them the runaround in my opinion!

Lets agree to disagree (like we did with Mixu - recall that you wanted him to stay whereas I wanted him to go). Presume you are glad he went now though ?!?

Only kidding by the way - no need to reply to that last part - unnecessary dig

What a crock of *****. Gannon has been good for the Scottish game, he has taken a team that had been decimated and got young players trying to play footy, he is not scared (despite being new) in having a crack at the standard of refereeing and the SFA despite knowing that that will go against him by the Largs mafia. He also stood on the pitch at the end and shook all the players hands (Hibs and Motherwell).

Maybe as Hibs fans we should be more focussed on supporting the team and watching the game than bothering about the opposition manager.

[King Paddy]

Said on Hibs radio that Jim Gannon shoke hands with every Hibs player at the end of the match. Nice gesture from the Motherwell boss.

Particularly the bit in bold.

Jim Gannon has said the same thing about Scottish refereeing standards as many of us have been saying for years. I have no complaint whatsoever about his comments about referees.

As for the fans, if he was getting the sort of pelters I've heard some of our alleged 'fans' handing out to their own players, he probably has a justified complaint. What did he do to deserve being abused for 90 minutes? He's doing no more than his job?

Hibs fans concentrating on supporting and encouraging their team...

Now THERE's a radical new idea!

[Dashing Bob S]

Yes, Gannon impresses me highly as a class act. He's been great for the Scottish game.

[euro Hibby]

and he was there at the end with a handshake for all the hIbs players ......class way to take defeat.......

[keep the faith]

opinions eh.

I still cant be bothered with him though

[Hibercelona]

He's a great manager IMO. And great to see him shaking hands at the end.









Still... not Yogi's class.

The way Cowan and the rest of the Beebteam commentate on games why should anyone take notice of them?

I've got to reply to that because I quite clearly wanted mixu out!?

[DaveF]

I saw Gannon shake the hand of every player as they came off the park but I didn't see him shake hands with Hughes.

In fact, it looked like Hughes was fed up waiting to shake hands and just went down the tunnel?

[Judas Iscariot]

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Why did Gannon refuse to give an interview after the game?

Apologies - seemed to recall that you were a Mixu fan. My mistake sir.

I think Gannon is hiding behind his criticism of referees for his team's failings, yes others have complained about the standard of the ref's but not to extent he does.

It'd be good to see him referee a game and have his decisions or non decisions poured over.

For what it's worth, I don't think our ref's are that bad.

They've only been beaten twice this season...not too many failings there

The refs up here are terrible...especially the one today - although not the worst i have seen him - still confused about the corner today when he told Riordan to take it from the west stand side
