Spoony?

[JollyGreenGiant]

I know he gets a lot of stick on here, but think he should have made the bench today!

He showed last week that given the opportunity he can come on and change a game. Handling did nothing when he came on, and Robertson was a waste of a sub imho!

So, Spoony must be away next season, and I think this will come back to haunt us.

Thoughts?

[Devilstorment]

Would be disappointed to see him go. Has more to offer us.

[Jonnyboy]

I felt for Spoony being left out today for the second successive final.

[lucky]

He is poor 90% of the time but still better than Robertson

[Hibbyradge]

Two cup finals in a row and not even an appearance on the bench.

Goodbye Spoony.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I hadn't given him missing out on a place on the bench a 2nd thought until now.

He gives us a flash of skill or ability once every few games. It's not enough.

[GreenCastle]

Spoony / Deegan and what has happened to Cairney ?

Think he got the starting 11 right - maybe would have had Stevenson involved but no complaints.

[Sir David Gray]

Pretty sure that Wotherspoon's played his last game for the club.

Cairneys not featured at all since the semi and had been pretty woeful since around Christmas time anyway.

However if he can recapture his early season form him and Harris on the wings next season would be a pretty exciting prospect.

I think Robertson will come good next season. He has an assist to his name (and for a winning goal at Tynecastle at that) and scored his first goal for the club at Killie meaning he has more goals to his name this season than Claros, Taiwo and Thomson combined.

He'll be next seasons Claros.

Would personally still be giving Wotherspoon a new deal and I think he's right to feel hard done by in missing the squad for the last 2 finals.

Hats a bit unfair on Taiwo he's really came on recently and got a great goal against Motherwell. I don't think Taiwo can control the midfield yet but he plays with passion and energy and can see him becoming more of a goal threat

[Callum_62]

Spoony was great for 1 1/2 seasons.....been pretty much rotten ever since.

He might come good somewhere else....maybe.....but wouldnt loose any sleep if he moved on

[LeighLoyal]

I'd keep him, going by dundee he might have made an impact today.

[NOLA]

Tbh when I saw the subs bench I never thought where's wotherspoon? I forgot all about him and for me its thank you and goodbye.

[hibee19]

He should have been on the bench, he can make an impact coming off the bench but Fenlon obviously fancies Handling more so no complaints really. I wouldn't bring him back unless maybe on a 1 year deal. Too inconsistent, would be back for depth mainly. If he goes it would be with the hope that we'll get a better player to replace him.

[green.and.white]

Can't see him staying after today. He is quite good, but he is replaceable

[PeterboroHibee]

Its a shame he didnt develop into the player we all thought he would at Hibs, but thats football. He has shown glimpses of being the player he was when he first came through without ever showing the consistency to maintain those sort of performances. I think he needs to move on to try and get his career back on track, and the fact he was left out yesterday suggests that. Good luck to him if he does.

Heard a rumour Paul cairney is suffering from crohns disease (same illness as darren fletcher) no idea if its true as i say its only a rumour ive heard??

Apparently it's just that - a rumour. And Darren Fletcher doesn't have crohns disease either.

Cairney said he's not injured or anything on twitter, he acknowledged that he's just not been good enough.

[Golden Bear]

Spoony's career suffered badly as he was asked to play in so many different positions by various different Managers. Instead of being allowed to settle and mature into a good SPL player he became a bit piece squad player whose self confidence hit rock bottom.

I hope that young Harris doesn't suffer the same fate. The guy is a natural left sided attacking player and that's the role he should be allowed to play. Let's forget this right side of midfield nonsense as it's obvious that he's not comfortable in that position.

[heretoday]

I saw Spoony score two crackers last season - one versus Inverness and the other versus Hearts in the cup. Nobody yesterday was attempting accurate shots from outside the box. I think he might have been worth throwing on in the second half.

You can tell if spooky goes he will end up a gem for a team like Ross county or ICT as they go on and finish above us in the league

Who is this player Spooky?

[HibbyAndy]

Scored in his 1st game and scored in his last game.

Bye Spoony.

[Hibernian Verse]

Not read the topic so sorry if its been mentioned but I've heard he's signed a deal with Rangers to start in September.

Likes the bevvy too much as does Deegan, Pat's trying to get rid of that culture at the club, wouldn't be surprised if he's gone by next season.

Thats a real shame if true, Cairney was the one player I really enjoyed watching this season (when he played) apart from Griffiths and Harris.
