Don't think I have anything to add.

Can you ask Michael how often he gets his only winners medal out for a polish?

Have to say guys, I think the guys who run this programme do really well....even the two Jambos who ran the Keith Wright interview were excellent :-). And I also enjoyed hearing the guy from Hearts talk about his coaching philosophy ....very interesting....keep up the good work !

[bigwheel]

And for Mikey Stewart...he seemed to be a player that often had notable ups and downs of performance...sometimes he looked almost unbeatable, totally dominating games, with high energy...other times you could tell even in the early minutes he just wasn't on it....did he recognise that? and if so, what's his view of why that happened...

[Pretty Boy]

In his experience was there a noticeable difference in attitude between Hibs and Hearts when it came both to the derby and also in the general way they viewed themselves?

He actually mentioned this on sport sound a few weeks back (or maybe on bt sport). He said that he always felt the Hibs fans were more nervous, which them put the team under more pressure in a derby. I think he's right.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Can we ask him why he was so pissed off when he won the league cup in 2007?

[Danderhall Hibs]

If it wasn't him, who was the ringleader of the JC rebellion?

[Danderhall Hibs]

When they chapped petries door did they ever consider the damage they'd cause and the (e)affect it would have on them becoming Hibs greats by doing a cup double?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Have you always been controversial?

What was the best Hibs goal you scored at Tynie?

How did it feel to give the best spell of your career to Hibs?

Who's your favourite muppet at Tynie?

[Sir David Gray]

Just how do you do that slip up routine, like the one you did at New Douglas Park a few years ago, Michael?

[keep the faith]

He seemed to give his all for hibs and I enjoyed watching him in his time here. How did he view his time at hibs? Despite being a hearts fan, does he have any look back on his time at hibs with any affection.

Did anyone end up hearing this? was one of the maddest interviews I've ever heard.

The first half is really interesting stuff about how he seemed to get shafted by every club he played for.

The last 30 mins where a joke though, all sounded made up or highly exaggerated at the very least.

A bit of the Roy Keane about him, was always someone else's fault things didn't work out.

Yes, it was all the other clubs fault.
And as for anyone building a team around him......erm, no.

[Hermit Crab]

I listened to all 2hrs of it. I found it very interesting to hear a player speak uncensored.

Cheers for posting that link- was meant to update this thread today but got sidetracked. Also still to listen to this, but from what I've heard from the lads it's an unmissable and unique interview! Also available to download on iTunes, just type in Monday Night Fitba'.

This, colourful language aside I feel the problem with organisations like the bbc is that you will never get as honest an interview like the one from Stewart on MNF, regardless of how accurate or inaccurate his point of view is, its still good to hear it.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

How do you manage a team full of Mikey Stewart's?

[blackpoolhibs]

If he's being honest, then this is going to be great viewing the next time he's on the telly with John Collins?


I enjoyed that, i know its all from his perspective, but he did not mix his words.

I wonder who the only two players where that didn't turn against collins? Was a very good interview and it just shows exactly how hearts got them self in the position that they did

Was thinking this too, he seemed to suggest that the youth players got on well with him, my guess would be Stevenson and possibly Kevin McCann who was breaking through at the same time as Lewis IIRC.

It could also have been Benji and Zemmama due to his grasp of the French language he always seemed to get on well with them publicly.

The rumour at the time was it was Benji, Zemmama, Andy McNeil and Lewis who weren't part of the group. If MS says it was only 2 then that suggests that rumour wasn't accurate

Mikey son, you couldnae lace John Collins boots ya yam fud.

[Irish Dave]

Half way through this my chin hit the floor listening to out, not sure Michael Stewart actually comes out of it that well but it's a stunning interview. Listen to it!
