Paul Cairney

**Pretty Boy** · 07-12-2013 04:03 PM

Starting to look a player again.

***Jones28*** · 07-12-2013 04:08 PM

Good news, he was a cracking wee player last season

**MyJo** · 07-12-2013 04:10 PM

Best player on the pitch today

happy to have him back. Worked his socks off and never afraid to take on a man.

1 criticism would be he didn't release the ball to handling quick enough to give him a shot on goal in the first half

**~~TheReg!~~** · 07-12-2013 04:11 PM

Hi problem was that he wasn't very fit last season, he looks like he has come on it that regard and I think we will see some good performances from him now.

**Swedish hibee** · 07-12-2013 04:16 PM

This is good to hear

**Squealing pig** · 07-12-2013 04:17 PM

Glad paul is back

***Tricla*** · 07-12-2013 04:23 PM

Yup. He was good today. MOM for us followed by Lewis.

**JIm** · 07-12-2013 04:25 PM

Thought he started game well. Was bypassed for 80 minutes then got a few opportunities to drive at players late on. Need to get players like him on the ball more as he's one of the few who can actually create a chance.

Played ok getting there but I would have given Motm to OTJ

Are you having a laugh? The first thing OTJ did was when he beat a couple of guys going up the left wing late on in 2nd half

**NadeAteMyLunch!** · 07-12-2013 04:40 PM

Defo Motm today

This is a joke right???

He was honking. Shooting was abysmal. Biggest guy on the pitch but easily pushed off the ball.

He'd be a player I hope butcher gets rid off

IMHO one of the worst players on the pitch. There's a big difference between trying to looking cool and controlled and being ineffective and two yards off the pace of the game. OTJ looked like he didn't a toss.

None of our midfield deserved any awards today. Osbourne bossed the midfield from start to finish.

***Malthibby*** · 07-12-2013 04:50 PM

Cairney was our best player but Osbourne was the best player on the pitch. I'm assuming he doesn't play like that every week or he'll be away shortly.
Fought to the end & I'll take that for starters.

It's all about opinions. He actually won most of his tackles and his passing was good and he won the foul that got the equalizer

**mcfly** · 07-12-2013 04:53 PM

Fair enough you have your opinion of him and I mine.

Not good enough in my view.

***Brightside*** · 07-12-2013 04:58 PM

I want to see Carney back in the middle behind the strikers. We need to find wingers ASAP.

That Higginbotham for them or how ever you spell his name, looks a decent winger imo

Lewis?? I must have been at a diff game. ..bags of effort as always but couldn't hit a barn door with his crosses

**ALF TUPPER** · 07-12-2013 06:37 PM

Yeah . Thought Paul was a bit more like his old self. Not MOM IMO. As a previous poster said - Wee Lewis for us, but overall Osbourne takes it for me.

Still feel Paul looks like his knees are tied together when he runs at times. Good to see the boy back.

I thought it was just me that noticed he actually had a good game.

He will never be popular as he looks like a big gangly awkward guy but I thought he was effective today.

Cairney though, I'm not convinced, don't think he was that good today.

Aye ,he won most of his tackles AND headers - it's just a pity he did hee haw for the first 80 minutes though!

Have to agree with both your points mh . Looks like we signed the wrong brother, as Osbourne ran the show all game in the midfield .
Thought when Zoubir came on we started to look more dangerous .

Osbourne bossed it today.

**GreenCastle** · 07-12-2013 08:50 PM

Osbourne best player on pitch - like others said - if he played like that every week he would be at an EPL club as he was everywhere and immense.

Osbourne was doing what OTJ should have been doing.

Osbourne doing this also won the midfield battle and didn't allow OTJ or Craig much of the ball.

Higginbotham was also very lively on the left wing for Thistle.

you must be the arishole that was sat behind me in the west

***Golden Bear*** · 07-12-2013 08:55 PM

A Paul Cairney with pace would be a top class player but we probably won't have seen him in a Hibs jersey.

As it is, he still looks like a player who can produce something from nothing and we don't have many others that come into that category.
