Did our results improve?

He had a few good months at St Mirren but you are comparing him to someone who has already had a very very decent career

I think you are being blinded by the fact you think JI 'used' Hibs which is ofcourse a bit of a nonsense

" bit of a nonsense " don't think so, suppose it is all about opinions, but mine is he did "use" us. He had no intention whatsoever to stay any longer than till the end of the season, you obviously have a different opinion, fine, no problems with that.
As a poster pointed out above, one goal scored,(& even that was off side), quite a few sitters/ good goal scoring opportunities wasted, nah, not for me I'm afraid. Glad he is gone.

Some really fragile egos in the Hibs support at the moment. Players move clubs all the time, stop taking it so personally. Irvine came in on a short term contract that benefited both parties - Hibs achieved their highest league finish in 16 years and Irvine put himself in the shop window for a lucrative move to Europe where he has had aspirations to play.

So he didn't try for his time here?

Thats what makes your statement a nonsense

JI tried for Hibs and we benefited as well as him

He's decided to move on for whatever reason - new league? Better money? Who knows

I don't get why anyone feels the need to be arsey about it though

I'll guarantee this , Nisbet will be replaced by better .

I'd be amazed if we get as good as Nisbet. I'd much rather cash in on Doig as left backs are easier to find and nowhere near as important to the success of the team. Strikers that score 15-20 a season in our league are like Hens teeth

My word that's a very negative view of a player who came in on a 6 month contract, helped us finish 3rd and to the cup final, and did well considering he had no proper preseason.

I wish him well and we will be hirsutely worse off with his departure 😁

[J-C]

Irvine was decent for this level but nothing more, flattered to deceive after a decent start, we move on.

Unproven? He certainly had a very good half season for St Mirren, don't think the fact their performances and results vastly improved after they signed him was merely a coincidence.
Time will tell, however imo JDH will prove a better player than Irvine, who, again imo, used Hib s as a means of getting paid to recover his match fitness before moving on this close season.

JDH is also using us to move up the ladder - he’s signed a 2 year to put himself in the shop window.

I’ll be incredibly disappointed if we start the season with Hanlon at centre back.

Bit of an odd one from you, Bob?

Some of the posters on here would have been in a state of constant agitation if not spontaneous combustion if they’d been around in the days of pre Bosman and pre transfer windows with players in and out and daily rumours

Is he ginger? Can we bring back GJP?

😂😂. Our best CH last season, and one of our best defensive season. He’s got at least another year left

[04Sauzee]

Decent signing for Motherwell

He's home.

Liam Kelly has returned to Motherwell on a three-year deal 👏

Thank goodness.

Hipster club for a Hipster player. Probably don't do a preseason, just do a bit of inter-railing and play kooks albums.

More punks and industrial techno types than hipsters, or it certainly used to be.

He'll also be captain. Top player, first name on the teamsheet.

I was thinking that myself. First the pitchforks and torches chasing Nisbet out the club because his agent is making a lot of noise, now Irvine who has decided to try his luck elsewhere.

Irvine was a decent player for us, didn't do a huge amount wrong but also didn't set the heather alight, it's not like he's chosen Aberdeen or Hearts, he's chosen a completely different league and experience living in another country. Best of luck to him.

Similarly Nisbet potentially has the opportunity of a life changing move, I'm not sure why so many are shocked he'd be interested in that. I really am not sure about all the throwing the toys out the pram chat, Hibs chose not to play him around the time of the transfer talk it's not like he was refusing to play. Did his form dip? Sure, but he worked hard and got back in amongst the goals.

I find the attitude towards Hibs players by some right now a little hard to understand.

Exactly right! For all the people on here saying Nisbet will easily be replaced, the only names mentioned are LG and Shankland. Where's all the obvious replacements for Nisbet? Uche at £750k puts it in perspective!

And usually a 30,000 home sell out at a wonderful stadium. A wonderful club too. A lot of footballers find it difficult to turn them down, and many simply for personal beliefs. They are a great club and very good to their players.

Yeah, I have a soft spot for st Pauli. Still got a few t shirts and a totenkopf training top kicking about somewhere. The ground seems to have changed somewhat since last time I was over and they do seem to be a more professionally run outfit but no doubt the ethos remains.

I don't. Fans have always had strong opinions about players and in the past it would often be directed into venting a lot more directly at them on a Saturday afternoon rather than exchanging views on here.

Same as any squad of Hibs players I have opinions on them. Some are positive, some are negative. There are players with decent reputations that I'm very comfortable about seeing Hibs lose as I think their reputations actually exceed their value to us and we'll replace them much more easily than some seem to think.

I accept that many people will disagree with those opinions and fully respect those who happen to just hold a different view on the relative value of certain players to our club.

That point of view I have no problem with. I'm not that different from yourself in regard to not stressing about losing Nisbet as we've lost players as good as and some better than him and we survived. It just seems some of the opinions towards him (and others I should add) have a lot more vitriol than I'm used to reading in here. It's not so much about his ability there's a lot of stuff being said about his attitude and mindset that's become a Hibs.net fact.

It still feels like there's a nasty cup final hangover and bitterness towards the team and the club in general (and this forum is nowhere near as bad other social media), hopefully there's a good start to the season and we can all get behind the team again.

Your point about the cup final is spot on IMO. After not enjoying last season (in part because I wasn’t there) the way it ended totally scunnered me as far as Hibs are concerned. I said after the final that I wasn’t fussed for seeing any of them in a Hibs top again and I’ve still not really changed my mind on that. Whether it’s a bit irrational or not, I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that way. Maybe once I start getting back in to games (looking forward to going to Kirkcaldy next Friday now) I might feel a bit differently.

What kind of player Is he do you know? Hamilton fans loved him but always said he was an upgrade on Gogic? Is he in the Gogic mould?

He's more a centre half though isn't he?

I'm sure that's where he has mostly played

I mind seeing him play RB for Livi and laughing at how bad he was
