Apologies if been posted already

[Billy]

Good luck to Nishy, hope he is a success at Hartlepool

[truehibernian]

Wish the big fella well. Hasn't had the best week though.....missed a pen in their penalty shoot out and went out to Sheffield United.

[Sodje_18]

Good luck Nish, hope he does well. I was one of the people on this who didn't bash him everytime something went wrong

[Franck Le God]

Wasn't the most technically gifted player but rarely have I seen a player more eager to do well for Hibs. A true fan who was lucky to play for his boyhood heroes but didn't quite make the cut.


The very best of luck to you Colin.

[Allant1981]

I honestly cant see him being a success in england, he isnt quick enough or mobile enough or good enough in the air IMO to trouble any half decent defender, hopefully though he does and scores a few goals

[blackpoolhibs]

Love their sponsors, very apt. Good luck Colin, hope you do well.

Ah, the obligatory "good luck Nishy" thread.

Can't understand the outpouring of support for one of the worst players we've had in recent times.

Harsh IMO.

Decent player who gave 100% - fair play, things didn't work out for the lad but I've seen 100+ worse players at ER and comments like your's are just ****.

He acheived the dream of playing for the club he loved. How close did you get?

Don't quite see how that makes him a good player.

You obviously have'nt been watching Hibs that much in, 'recent times'.

Sorry, but I disagree completely - thought he regularly gave up trying for 50/50 balls and his head went down as soon as things went wrong. And calling someone's opinions w**k just because you disagree with them is no kind of argument at all.

I have to agree with you. Towards the end (last 6 months or so) he was one of the worst players I've ever watched.

Still wish him well obviously.

You mean during the period a vocal minority booed his every move? (Despite him being one of our own.....go figure.) Beats me why that sort of support didn't have him playing some of his best stuff.

He was one of our own!! shame it didn't work out!

Absolutely, a fellow hibby who almost fufilled their dream. The fact it didn't work out wasn't due to any lack of desire on his part. Don't understand the need to stick the boot in now he's left.

Good luck in your future endeavours Nish. You'll always remain the scorer of some of the most incongruous goals I've ever seen in a Hibs shirt (long ranger against Kilmarnock being a particular favourite).

Maybe it doesn't make him a good player, but he is decent though, i am sure wee all had dreams when wee were young about playing for our boyhood hero's, the difference is Nishy made it, alot on here never but make out they are some kind of Messi or Ferguson, that means to me that Nishy worked hard at becoming a pro- footballer and got his chance and took it when he was young and prgressed to getting contracts from several clubs during his football career and is still playing football at a good enough level, he cant be that bad if other managers are willing to give him a chance to still play football, how did all the other dreamers do, i would like to see how folk on here would have acted if they were in the big mans boots last season when he was being abused by the fans of the club he has supported all his days, it must have been soul destroying for him.

Good luck at your new club Colin.

So in your opinion this excuses him from being gash?

He wasn't near as bad as many on hear would have you believe. And he certainly dispalyed a lot more class and dignity than many of those who abused him at every turn did. If you don't want to wish him all the best fair enough. Is there any need for the snidey digs at those who would wish the guy well though? Sometimes its better to say nothing.

I wouldn't boo a Hibs player - its counter productive, coupled with the fact that I'd feel like a wazzock sitting booing. What gets me is that people fail to grasp where the outpouring of negativity towards him spawned from, it came from the fact that he didn't perform/was frustrating to watch. It's nothing personal - I'm absolutely convinced the 'booers' would have been more than happy to cheer his name if he was good. It's purely football related.

He was.

If you could give some resounding justification other than 'he worked hard' I'd gladly hear it, I just dont think its possible.

And just ignore my last remark. No point in continuing this discussion is there?

Pretty poor for us but all the best just the same.

[Dashing Bob S]

Let's face it, the man remains a great enigma. Yes, there were swathes of mediocrity and lashings of incompetence, but there were also glimpses of sheer *ucking genius.

Go Col!

Second these thoughts

[Keith_M]

No-one mentioned the most surprising part of the article;


"By the half-hour mark he had another, again via his brow, this time rising to guide in from close range after good work from Antony Sweeney."


Colin Nish jumped for a header! Not only that, he actually reached it!



I think I need to go and lie down.
