OTJ interviews James Colllins

[Shrekko]

Re James Collins... are the same folk who're defending Kamberi at the moment and saying his poor form is purely because of 'lack of service' not going to do the same for Collins? He seems to score elsewhere.

Kamberi isn't missing sitters, is younger, faster, more talented, higher potential, actually done well for us.

Look at Kamberis goal vs Celtic at Parkhead. Collins couldn't do that on FIFA never mind real life.

Collins scored 6 goals in 40 games, Kamberi has 9 this season already.

No comparison.

Collins was actually younger than Kamberi (marginally) when he signed for us.

No, he was actually just a solid player. Good pro who had a solid career.

My main memory of him was getting ripped apart in the Scottish Cup final.

Other than that I think he played nearly every game the season we got relegated. Very solid

[we are hibs]

Collins sitter at Easter road will haunt me till my dying days. Almost scored a screamer right at the end of that game too

Everyone got ripped apart that day. Sauzee and co got ripped apart in 2001.

Many other good players played most games that season. Craig, Williams, Robertson, Stevenson, Hanlon. It was much more management to blame. Fenlon had them 5th.

Kamberi can shoot. Collins couldn't. Kamberi has his faults but he is 20 times the player JC was.

He’s scored goals elsewhere because the level of football he’s been playing at is lower than up here. Stick Kamberi in at league one/two and he’d bang them in as well.

It didn’t help our cause Latapy getting himself sacked the night before

We held our own but the game changed when they brought on Jackie MacNamara Jnr who ripped us apart scoring their first goal after 38 mins after that there was only going to be one winner

IIRC I don’t think Sauzee looked fully fit that day either

99 years and counting ��

Was carried off at Ibrox the week before or so before the Final, 4-0 defeat. To be fair this Hibs team was on a downward spiral well before the final

For all the rankness being talked about I still think Duffy's mob were worse!

Who would win a 2 legged playoff between Duffys Duffers and Butchers Balloons? One things for sure it wouldn't be pretty.

Latapy broke team curfew by going out drinking with Dwight Yorke and was effectively dismissed by Alex McLeish as he was caught drink driving causing him to miss the last Derby of the season and the 2001 Scottish Cup Final which we lost 0-3 to goals from McNamara and Larsson two( one pen)

We were up against it but held our own until the 38 th minute when the influential McNamara fired in the opener after that there was always only going to be one winner

That's my only memory of him.

Fans were negative to him because he stole a living from us for a year. The various people who allowed the move to happen probably have a case to answer as well mind you.

I remember reading Butcher saying that when he came in with Marsella, as a club we used Wikipedia as part of our recruitiment. We were an absolute shambles until Dempster came in so it’s no surprise when we signed players ready for the scrap heap like TUdor Jones.

Surely not? That’s a damning indictment if ever there was one. You mean to tell me that I could’ve gotten myself signed by Hibs if I’d bothered to make myself a Wikipedia page that looked decent? I blame Petrie, just ‘cos

OTJ interviews Rowan Vine.

Didn’t see a thread on this. Guy sounds like a complete nutter. Good background in Butcher and Malpas and an incident at Ross County that led to Vine never playing for Hibs again.

Also claims he told Petrie that Butcher had lost the dressing room in the January and Petrie didn’t believe him.

Talks of faction splits in the team and a dry boaking incident with Collins

Hibs stuff is a bout 40 mins in.

Latapy wasn't sacked the night before the final was a few weeks before when he got done for drink driving with his mate Dwight just before a Derby.

Sauzee had a broken foot bone.

Pretty sure it was a hamstring injury 6 days before the final at Ibrox. Personally don't think he should have played at Ibrox given his importance to the team.

Just before the cup final v Celtic I think it was.

[judas]

Rowan Vine. One on the least effective players I’ve seen in my 37 years watching Hibs.

Not a scintilla of positive influence on the team or club.

Butcher didn’t make friends in the dressing room, we all know that, but Vine lost any ability he was supposed to have the minute he walked across the threshold at ER.

Some of these spoilt laddies, moving straight out of school and boys clubs and into the world of professional football, wouldn’t know real responsibility if it punched them square in the pus. The entitlement is pathetic.

Displacing the blame onto others is a losers method.

I think I'll pass on listening to that.

I could not take it after the Duff Gray thread made spine chill an got me really angry again. The Philippines police are very unforgiving.

[Bishop Hibee]

TudorJones was absolutely brutal. Straight into my worst Hibs XI. More interested in golf than football. Disgraced the shirt. Vine wasn't much better. The only positive about watching crap players like them is it makes the good times all the sweeter.

Sauzee not over injury from Ibrox and Latapy sacked for being on the piss.

[Since452]

Don't think our form was good at all going in to that final. Needed to be firing all cylinders against that excellent Celtic team. They were so powerful all over the park. They'd have given Rodgers treble treble winners the run around.

Don't really blame OTJ. Hibs signed him when he was finished as a player but didn't see it. Sure OTJ admitted he was surprised at the Hibs move happening as he was done but couldn't refuse the money on offer.

Alan Maybury a solid player for hibs 😂 he was absolutely dreadful. Between him and tim Clancy for 2 of the slowest footballers I've ever seen

Maybury was far from dreadful for us. He played 50 games (started 46) and did what was asked of him. He was a good, committed pro in a squad carrying too many passengers.

Maybury was guff. It shows the level the club and team had fallen to that he was considered a good committed pro’.
