Rumour on the PM board, posted with some certainty (but we've all been there before) that Doig will be offski this summer.

Rumour on the PM board, posted with some certainty (but we've all been there before) that Doig will be offski this summer.

And that should have stayed on the PM board.

[04Sauzee]

Going to be difficult to pick up a lb/lwb. Scott Tanser would be a good shout although there is the St Johnstone effect 😁

[Since90+2]

Where is Doig supposedly off to?

I agree completely. I was just having a pop at the King of Certainty.

Sounds like an XTC track from the mid-80s.

[Unseen work]

Personally think Doig was always leaving this summer.

Is there a possibility he could be loaned back though? Especially with the exposure to European football? Or the more likely option of on loan to a league 1/championship team.

Fwiw I think Mackie is a really good prospect too and could step in but has had an awful time with injuries. Scott Tanser and Jamie Robson have always impressed me but I’d be hoping Greg Taylor will be out the picture soon at Celtic and we can take him, even on loan.

Player swap Taylor for Doig? Plus some money and a sell on %.

Don’t rate Taylor at all. Think he’s mince.

That’s my contribution haha.

Really, the poster should have said so? It's not like there hasn't been speculation.

He didn't say to whom, nor offer any details, it was merely a statement. I think you might be being a bit precious about this.

Then why did he post on the PM board and not the MB?

In an ideal world you’d have a right and left footer centre half and a right and left footed centre mid and probably a right and left footed strike pairing.

It’s not massively essential though. If the players are decent they’ll be fine.

In an ideal world they'd all be two-footed ! rare commodity though, but when you find one #Roanaldo #Zico #Zidnae #Cruyff #Pele #Platini #bobbyjohnstone

Agree, Mackie has been almost forgotten about because Doig has had a great first season but liked what i seen from him earlier in the season. If Doig were to go I'd have no problem with giving him a run in the team.

Who knows, why don't you PM him and ask.

Like as if posting on the PM board makes your word gospel?

If they wanted secrecy, they would have said that. As it is , saying Doig is premiership bound is hardly a new concept, is it? No substance or context offered, no team mentioned, no fee, just a statement saying he'll not be at Hibs next season.

[ancient hibee]

One of the reasons I came off the PM board was the amount of complete mince being posted by people pretending to have the inside track.

It is kinda of understood that you dont put PM board stuff on here..... otherwise whats the point of the PM board. You pay the tenner for the higher quality pish on there.

We still have Sean Mackie who if we can get fit will do a good job there. Imo

Them are the rules, so I'm not being precious about it in the slightest.

There is a higher quality of pish? 😶😁

[offshorehibby]

I'd still rather keep Doig a while yet. I think Sean Makie is a great prospect but he never seems to be fit long enough to get a run.

I think you are, given the context. No club, no fee, no anything, just someone saying he's a done deal. If there are rules, please show me where we find them? The unwritten rule is that if you don't want something posted on the main board, you say so.

Surely if they wanted it posted on the main board they would’ve just posted it on the main board?

I would’ve thought it was pretty obvious that if someone’s posted something on the PM board they don’t want someone copying and pasting what they said on the main board.

Off skiing apparently.

[keep the faith]

If we were to be offered serious money for Doig which keeps this club healthy in these times then I would not be worried about trying Mackie along with the ever dependable Lewis for a bit.
Out of interest, how has Callum Booth played the last few seasons? I see he is out of contract and always thought he had something about him. I genuinely dont know if he developed further or found his level.

Always find it funny when folk on a football forum pretend to be "in the know". Serious fantasy stuff.

[Stuart93]

If doig does go we need to bring in as replacement. Wouldn’t want us reverting back to Stevenson. Think Doig has shown us how more dangerous we can be from the full back position if you’ve got someone out there not scared to get into the opposition box

Agreed. And even more so I wouldn’t want us going with Mackie.

There’s not many stand out left backs around just now so we’d probably be looking down south/abroad?

NO one copied and pasted, FFS. (At the risk of constantly repeating myself, people on the PM board generally ask for it not to be posted on here, if it's important). In fact, if it's that important, perhaps they shouldn't be posting it at all ?

Did you actually read any of the responses I made? Read the various easily available links which say there is interest from EPL clubs

Here's another rumour, completely unfounded. Wee Ron will give JR the bullet if he doesn't finish third and reach the cup final. See how that works? I made it up. Like most of the stuff on here and the PM board, it's unfounded gashy rumour.

Ok, I'm off to don the full hair shirt and matching pants, with added itching powder. I'll deny myself my dinner in protest at my own scurrilous actions and ask my lover to deny me conjugals as part of my penitence when we meet at the weekend. I'll also post a score that ruins my chances of winning the HIbs. Net prediction league......satisfied?

Plenty of inside scoops have been posted on the private board, you've just got to filter out the real stuff from the nonsense.

Off the top of my head I remember the Malonga, Fontaine and Hallberg signings all being posted there at least a day or two before any rumours appeared on the main board or in the papers.

Seen some of the stats guys on twitter doing a statistical analysis on the best performing fullbacks/wingbacks in the league this season and Booth was right up there.

Think St Johnstone tend to use him as a more attacking alternative to Tanser at LWB for games that aren't against us, Aberdeen or the old firm.
