Happy with a draw.

Deary me. “Trusted opinions”? That’s someone else’s opinion. How can you possibly debate on a game you’ve not watched? It’s an accumulation of random folks thoughts, 0% of your own.

So if you were arguing the merits of a player you wouldn't think it relevant to mention certain managers/pundits/ex-players opinions of that player?

Wrong, professional journalists and expert pundits - some of whom have actually played the game, and trusted contributors on this site.

It’s not YOUR opinion. “Boyle played well, Hanlon was poor” because someone who watched the game said so.

For me he speaks for the sane and knowledgeable element of the support- which is very refreshing in terms of what you see on the internet. The reports are free from hyperbole either way with a slight bias towards Hibs which is what all Hibs "supporters" should have and he doesn't try to write like he's a football expert. In short, most reasonable Hibs fans will most likely more or less agree with most of the report and will certainly believe they were at the same game. The hysterical cry babies looking for blood after every dropped point not so much.

I'm going to take a knowledgeable Hibs fan - which he is, over a Scottish football journalist any day of the week. Perfectly good reference on a Hibs game.

Interestingly, the knowledgable poster in question noted “ Jack Ross – It seemed to me as though he was settling for a point and should have reacted in kind when the Rangers made their first two changes” in his match report, which is what a lot of the debate has centred on in this thread.

Does that fall under your observation about the new culture of folk thinking they know so much about the game, it not being a computer game etc?

Right ok.

I'll leave it at that.

Exactly, brilliant observation.
