Didn't call you names and if saying you talk tripe or pish is insulting, you need to get out more or start developing a thicker skin.

Of course it is insulting, you wouldn't say so if not.

Did Tracy need a thicker skin when abuse from supporters forced her out of her job? Absolute neaderthal opinion that is. How about you just don't say those things and respond to my football related points?

[MrRobot]

Can’t understand why people will be annoyed at this, experienced cover and somebody who is clearly well liked at Hibs.

Just John to come home next...

I just find it funny that when we sign a player like Stephen McGinn and one poster posts anything slightly negative everyone is on his back making out it will be a great piece of business and even if it’s not here’s x, y and z about why he’s good to have about the place. It’s like we try to convince ourselves it’s brilliant.

He’s 32 this year, just back from an injury that required an operation and was on his way out at St Mirren from what I’ve seen their fans saying. He’s also been training with us since we returned but we only just signed him now? Even though Ross will know exactly what he’s capable of having managed him before and the club will know all about him from his time at St Mirren and Dundee.

If Aberdeen signed him how would we react?

I actually thought we would sign him in January before I heard of his injury at Ross talked very highly about him during his time at St Mirren and how important he was to the attacking style they played, but he never.

Im not saying he will be terrible, far from it. But it does seem a bit of an odd/easy option.

We could go and sign another brilliant centre mid tomorrow or before the window and then all of a sudden we look at our options and think we have a good variety should injures happen etc.

But I’m firmly in the camp if we need a strong squad, but make it stronger by signing starting 11 quality players not ones that are clearly coming in as cover.

Time will tell if it’s a good deal for us I suppose (I’m not saying it won’t be).

What I find interesting is the whole ‘coaching’ aspect. We have Gray and McGregor with their long term contracts with that type of thing apparently included. Does it maybe tell us Ross wants his own guy and doesn’t see them getting in to that?

He's been used as an extra pair of eyes in the stand, you get a better perspective there, Ross obviously trusts him.

Muckle surprise that the usual suspects question every single decision hibs make without an ounce of rational thought.

No one actually does that. Everyone has been delighted with our business so far, me included.

You never responded to my football question
Do you trust Jack Ross and his signings so far

[lord bunberry]

Delighted to complete the holy trinity with the last available Mcginn. Welcome aboard the good ship Hibernian .

Trust Ross? Maybe. Against the poorer sides, yeah. Against the bigger, better ones, not yet.

His signings, generally been good. Too early to really tell, though. This isn't anything like the other signings he has made.

Yes, something I am perfectly entitled to do. There are plenty of reasons to doubt this signing. If it was the no brainer folk are pretending it is, it would have been done months ago.

[SlickShoes]

I’m cracking up at us signing another McGinn and also killing myself laughing at everyone here who’s seething with rage at this signing.

Someone else said it, there’s a pandemic on, this isn’t a marquee signing, it’s cover for gogic and it’s probably not costing a lot.

[The Modfather]

Mourinho will be sacked by xmas IMO

When you see the clubs he's played for especially down south they are all of a good level, the guy is no mug, I just don't get the level of derision been thrown at him.

Absolutely no one is seething. Folk are questioning it, which is perfectly reasonable.

Fine, thanks for your opinion

[Bobby's Cinema]

A decent signing in the sort of mould that can come on from the bench and add to our our new found solidity to see out games.

Welcome to Hibs - just don’t read this thread.

It’s not old in football terms nowadays though

[neil7908]

A bit sceptical about this one but I felt the same about Paul and he's been excellent.

Just hope we are still looking at another one to come in.

When you come out with this sh... you deserve all the so called 'abuse' that comes your way.

Too many wannabe managers on here, all think it should be them in the dig out.

Two of the most tiresome cliches in modern football: it’s all about opinions and fans are entitled to have them.

Firstly, I’ve never seen an opinion win a game of football, and two, I’m not sure. Why are we ‘entitled’ to have an opinion about Stephen McGinn? Not one of us has seen him in training this summer.

Jack Ross thinks he was worth a contract and Jack Ross knows more about managing this Hibs team than I do, so that will do for me. Not a particularly exciting signing I grant you, but frankly some of the people on here saying they ‘don’t understand’ this signing are just embarrassing.

Did they expect Jack to phone them and explain his reasoning first??

[Since452]

I long for the days we were taking random punts on guys like Miquel Nelom as back up not guys who the manager has been watching in training every day for a couple of months. Petrie out!

[Yorkshire HFC]

Where's the money coming from for all these signings?

We're not likely to have any matchday income for a long time, unless Hibs know something that I don't.

Problem its the wrong McGinn we have signed! We are waiting for Super John to re-sign!
