Wasn't it Jim Jeffries's debut? I may have got that wrong

He played, but don’t know if it was his debut or not

That wouldn't be allowed in France where clubs aren't allowed to employ coaches/managers over 65 years old (although I think those already in place can stay).

Guy Roux the former Auxerre manager and a huge personality in French football wasn't allowed to start a new job at Lens (Jimmy Boco's former club) because he was too old at 67.

Supprised that's not been challenged

Donald's debut was against Arbroath in October 72.

From what I remember Lens did challenge it and during the appeal he was in charge for 4 matches. However, results were crap and I think it suited everyone to just let it drop.

I don't know if the rule's still in place, but I remember following the goings on at the time.

Fair do's, i knew he was a new arrival. Article must have referred to his first derby.

The article in the Pink the following week about how Hibs were lucky and the result would act as a springboard for Hearts to go up the League is even funnier.

What happened to John Park?

Is he not a scout at Celtic still?

I think he left Celtic when Brendan Roger's was appointed.
He was spotted a couple of times at Easter Road since in the directors box with Rod Petrie.
In the time he was at Celtic they signed some very good players that they eventually moved on for a fair bit of cash.

If Scotland,s response in handling this virus remains as at present,then academy kids have been told training will resume in August with games starting again in September. Wonder what the Media will have to say in regards to this?

Academy kids start back training at East Mains on Monday 3/8/20.😁

I refuse to accept this is correct until I hear it from Tom ‘the fountain of all knowledge’ English.

Does anyone have any more information on Amir's khans nephew? Googled him now and only find the stories when he signed for us in 2016.

[Stuart93]

Interesting that there’s been no media coverage regarding this? After all, they were quick in telling us we were scrapping our academy altogether.

It’s about time the club stood up for themselves against these ****s.

Great wee player. Used to play CM for Lochend as a boy. I've not seen him in person for a while but he was small and tenacious. Hibs turned him into a full back last i heard. Amir came to training once and had a great night with the kids. He will be 15 i think now.

If I were in charge of Hibs TV I’d have had the cameras there showing the academy back. Don’t let the weegie rags control the narrative.

Where does Scottish football go from here? It’s all so unfair.

Great news, so the Youth teams are back, the redundancy issue has went very quiet, Kit man seen in his gear. It does seem a lot of nonsense has been written about Hibs.

Seems likely that we entered the consultation period to consider cutbacks but various factors probably meant the deep cuts predicted by so many were not needed.

The strong season ticket sales, money from HSL and projected income from PPV streaming and fans coming back to stadiums by October against the savings made in operational costs while playing behind closed doors (stewarding, catering, hospitality staff etc) probably means we were able to keep cutbacks to non-footballing areas of the business only

Hopefully Oneleagueback can confirm. Won't believe it until I read it on there

That's actually horrendous from a top 6 club in the richest league in the world, with a billionaire owner and players on hundreds of thousands a week and by all accounts about to sign a player on 200k a week. I hope the 55 staff tell them to ram it. A club like us you can understand but with the finances that go around down south between owners and tv and clubs themselves that is piss poor.

But Kris Commons says we are going to have to sell Martin Boyle for £250,000 because we’re in financial trouble.Surely he couldn’t be trying to stir things up?

Who really cares? They were, as usual, wrong, we rise above it and carry on.
