Can't call that football. Worse than calderwood, worse than mixu. Just chronic tactics. The players shouldn't listen. They should be smart enough to realise it isn't working and try something else.

[matty_f]

We were worse than pre-historic.

Boot it as hard as you can in the direction you're facing and hope for the best. ****ing brutal style of football, we played with no courage, no thought, no heart and no bottle.

Absolutely horrendous performance from the team and the management.

Tom English is being kind to us.

Accurate description of what has happened at ER since TB & MM arrived and particularly today!

Sad but true!

[leggeto]

That dick head is delighted we are down,seek listening to him today,although he did say Petrie must take the blame

[down-the-slope]

can't argue with much if any of that sadly

[eastterrace]

ball goes into midfield sammy passes out to stevenson who then slows everything down then passes back to craig who then puts it further back to mcgivern who then hoofs it up the pitch. multiply this by about 20 times and the opposition have an easy time it so boring.

What is he saying that's wrong?

[.Sean.]

Your heart sinks every time Nelson and McGivern pick the ball up as the only thing on their minds is HOOOF. like a human horse, big and lazy boot up the park to nobody.

It's not so much that what he's saying is wrong, it's largely true. It's that to me he comes across like he's beating one off writing it.

[Del Boy]

Hamilton, ******* Hamilton gave us a lesson in playing football today. They don't have great players by any stretch of the imagination but from defence right through to attack they got the ball down, passed and moved. We lumped the ball into corners - or through to keeper or just into the stand ffs! - every time we got it.

We are absolutely horrendous to watch under Butcher.

Don't mean the article that's pretty much spot on,it was his attitude on the radio earlier

[Golden Bear]

I heard Tom English's radio interview and he was spot on in everything he said about the Club, the Management and the supporters.

Tom English hasn't employed a lineage of managers that have under performed and he certainly doesn't tell the players to implement hoorball type tactics...the custodians and people in senior positions at ER shoudl take responsibility for letting journos like this write what is essentially the truth.

I heard it too in the car on the way home....I didn't like it...because it was the truth.

The custodians in senior positions at ER have put us in this position, not Tom English and believe me I'm no fan of his either.

[gillythehibby]

Maybe he's hit the nail on the head. Only saying what most of us have for ages. The fact that English pulls no punches with Hibs is that he considers HIbs one of our bigger clubs who should be doing a lot better?

Totally agree.
I don't blame Tom English for anything.
Don't even think he's off the mark.
Lots of truth.
Just comes over to me like he's reveling in it.
If you don't get that impression fair enough.

[mmmmhibby]

Sometimes the truth hurts, he is spot on.

[Irish_Steve]

I listened to Tom English on the way home and everything he said was true - he blamed Petrie saying RP has been asleep at the wheel for years - couldn`t have put it better myself

[IWasThere2016]

He's called it right IMHO.

No I dont get that impression...quite obvious that i ont too.....he can't write it if the evidence isn't there....lashing out at journos is misguided...lash oot at the fannies in charge at ER....better use of any anger that is out there.

[Stewboy]

Hhhhooooooooooooooooofffffffffffff

That is the football we play. It's embarrassing

[Postman]

That is a very accurate article. Tough reading but hits the nail on the head.

i'm sure it was tom english i heard on the radio after the match, pretty much word for word in that article what was said on the radio, certainly cannot disagree with anything he said bud, its grim reading but reality

[Thecat23]

I like the guy. Says what most are thinking and is he wrong?

[AlbertK86]

He is 100 % correct

Hoofball = no creativity and no goals

We are where the board management and majority of players deserve to be

Again Fergos, totally agree. I'm not lashing out at Journos just making passing a comment on the thread. Petrie/Butcher/Malpas and 90% of the playing squad out for starters - that's where my focus is.

Yep, Heff at the front and hoof at the back

[Risboro Hibby]

Spot on in my book that Hibs the institution with our fan base and history will be a miss to the Premiership but the teams we have been putting on the park for the last few seasons will definitely be no loss.
