"A technical player... needs to ball to his feet... doesn't like working too much."
Not the Zemmama I remember? Or has absence made the heart (sorry) grow fonder?

Never understood this at all, he works as hard tracking back and harrying as anyone else in the team, and more than most. He's never going to be a hard tackling type, look at the size of him
Its a lazy cliche; a flair player that hasnt made it with a 'big' club is almost always described as having a poor work ethic.

Calderwood on Zemmama: "he did a fantastic amount of work defensively, really pleased with him in that respect."
Did someone tell him about Collins' comment?

I honestly thought Hibs had a pretty good first half and the goal came at a bad time. I guess he has major sour grapes about Hibs but he should just shut up and stop being negative about us. He keeps going on about how the game should be played on the ground, yes he is right but his last days at Hibs we were also rank and never looked good at all and his signings were rank.

It's hard to take his TV analysis seriously when his Hibs team rarely lived up to his rhetoric.

Fittest team we have had in years at ER and he tried to rid the club of its card school, gambling, two hours a day training , off to the pub culture.
Some signings were indeed poor, however he was instrumental in getting Fletch an improved contract which in turn got a better fee IMO for him down the line. Got a tune out of Benji who looked eager to please. The younger players liked working under him.
As ever, not given enough time, RP went behind his back IMHO, the players attitude stunk to high heaven when their little cosy football lives were disturbed with hard work. Collins for me is head of the game in trying to get Scottish football out of the dark ages and into real professionalism. His man management skills were his downfall perhaps, but his vision was 100% spot on for the way the game should be played and how professional athletes should conduct themselves on and off the pitch.
And I can guarantee that even at his age, with his fitness levels he would walk into that Hibernian midfield ahead of De Graaf, McBride and Rankin.

Too many jumping on this comment as a big insult when it's obviously true that Zemama - while no slouch - is far more effective with the ball to feet rather than chasing hopeful balls over the top.
