Defo would not describe him as a ‘class act’ and it is nothing to do with him not signing immediately
If he signs he signs fair enough if not I am sure we can do better
Plenty out there that can control a ball, kick with both feet and can score goals without being posted missing for half of the game
Now that is a ‘class act’

Maybe I should just be polite and say I am meh if he stays or goes
In fairness he has looked decent playing for Australia but against questionable opposition and he is in the shop window
I just don’t see what you are obviously seeing

A ‘class act’ is someone who influences or impacts games creates and scores goals a la Russell Latapy
I cannot think of one game that Irvine bossed
PS
I would take the Jackson Irvine of Ross County the player I thought we were getting

Comparing anyone to wee Russell, Billy? That's just not fair! The man was a genius.
I'm merely talking class act level!

Jackson Irvine was a very good addition who helped push us on to 3rd place, when folk on here were telling anyone who'd listen that it was only a matter of time before Livi overtook us and we'd finish 5th at best.
I like him, and i think there's a lot more to come from him if he signs again. I'd replace a couple of others before him if i could, and hope he does sign again for a couple of years at least.

Agree.
If we can do so much better, why was he our best (or perhaps close second) player in the midfield.
Folk are do quick to turn sour on a player if he doesn't do exactly as they want. Him stalling on signing doesn't wipe out an excellent contribution to our 3rd place finish.

Tbf I understand why some people were a bit disappointed with him. I am also in that camp.
I hope that if he stays we will see him back to his best… I’m pretty confident we haven’t seen it in a Hibs shirt yet.

Jacko played superbly last night in the last WC qualifier against Jordan.
he played on the right hand side as a box to box midfielder, which I consider his best role.
Oz won 1-0 with Martin Boyle supplying the corner for the winning goal to be headed in by Harry Souter.

How good are the Aussies though? Based on teams in Europe?
I can't see Jordan been that great a side.Cougars!!!

As the man said…’comparisons are odious’……….Australia have beaten or drew with some European international sides, and been beaten by some.
They have went further than Scotland in the World Cup…..qualifying through the group stages for the round of 16, only to be beaten 1-0 by a dodgy Italian penalty in 2006.
They certainly aren’t as good just now as that squad, but it’s difficult to say who they would beat and who would beat them….it would just be a matter of opinion.
Let’s put it this way as a Scotsman living in Australia…
Scottish punters think Australia has a poor standard of football, and Australian punters think Scotland has a poor standard of football��
They are both too dismissive of the other’s ability.

I think he done a decent job for us when he came in but I certainly wouldn’t say he has been a class act. Whilst he was one of our better midfielders I’d suggest that says more about the others than it says about Irvine being really good.Last edited by calumhibee1; 16-06-2021 at 06:45 AM.
