A decent player but with injuries hampering his career he’d a touch of the Kyle McG two about him.

Should have no difficulty in finding another club, hope it’s not in the SPL as if he could get/stay fit he could come back to haunt us.

[Coco Bryce]

I wouldn't worry.

He'll be injured mostly.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I’ve never been less concerned of a player coming back to haunt us.

Desperately average at best imo. Throw in the fact he’s made of glass and I’ve little doubt he’ll be in the lower leagues soon enough.

[keep the faith]

Coming out of Easter Road one afternoon my dad said that JDH was "the least adventurous player he had ever seen in a hibs shirt". Summed it up very nicely as far as I'm concerned.

I wish him well for the future, but never good enough for hibs.

[Ribs1875]

He was on a decent wage, he was a average performer for an average team. He is one ill do a Google search in five years to see where he ended up.

[basehibby]

I wish him well but the only time I can recall him being more than a baw hair above average was at home to St Mirren once when he scored two lovely goals. Apparently a bunch of his pals had come over from Ireland for the game and struck me that if the club had paid for them to come across for every match it would have been money well spent!

Seriously though - injuries hampered him but he never looked like being an outstanding performer on anything like a regular enough basis. Quite happy he's left to make room on the wage bill for someone else.

You can remember it so well you can't even remember it was Ross county.

Apparently suing Hibs in the court of session.

If true, presumably for the injury he suffered at the hands of LJ?

[Vault Boy]

Interesting.

JDH was one of the first team player that LJ had training separately from the main group too, I wonder if his treatment is a component of the case.

Yet picked up a decent wage while injured

[Pagan Hibernia]

Saw him playing for Sligo a couple of weeks ago. He didn't do very much.

Did you expect him not to get paid? He's the good guy here.

[JimBHibees]

Wonder what his case is based on. Players get injured all the time

Not by their own managers

If JDH can argue his career been impacted by LJ having no reason to be in that situation, fair enough to the guy

[Unseen work]

Intersting to find out what it’s based on

It can’t be getting injured as that’s part and parcel of football. Unless it’s a Stephen Thomson v John McGinn scenario

The care afterwards?

As long as the injury wasn’t deliberate or reckless I’d be surprised if he had much of a case? Especially given we rightly continued paying him.

Smacks of a poor player knowing he’s been found out and his ability to earn much is behind him now.

It’s upto a manager whether he takes part in training, there’s nothing to say players only train against other first teams players etc

Loads of managers join in

Smacks of a dick of a manager with a napoleon complex sliding in on players returning from injury during a bounce game.

[Scouse Hibee]

Still displayed on the big screen at ER when the No 8 player is displayed, he appeared as one of the subs coming on at the Rangers game, pretty amateurish from Hibs.

If I had to defend Lee Johnson (loathe to) for a moment, do we know that he slid into JDH? Managers get involved in training and coaches fill in spaces in drills or bounce games all the time. It could be a freak accident or even JDH himself that went in on Johnson and came off worse.

Whatever the suit is for I'm sure he has a case, and hopefully the right outcome is found.

JDH has also said himself that wasn’t the cause of the injury. That was just one flare up of it.

Another repeated fact….

[The Spaceman]

He got awfully upset at some Hibs fans in the West Stand lower when he was coming back from a warm-up just before he left - absolutely booted a water carrier and stormed off. A bit like Bojang - an incredibly limited footballer who couldn’t handle his dream not becoming a reality, although in his case injuries played a part.

Would assume every coach at any level is likely to have joined a session at some point whether to even up numbers if players injured etc. Surely he would need to prove intent to injure or significant negligence.

[Thatdayinmay16]

Taking hibs to court for something an ex employee did, sue LJ if this is what its all about.

F*** them both.

[I'm_cabbaged]

If his pals turn up for the hearing he might have a chance of winning

Tend to agree unless a big part of it is some negligence in his injury treatment by the club

Tbf nobody knows the details. It may have nothing to do with LJ. But you don’t take your employer to court for no reason.

Would be very unusual of employees to testify against their employer
