Thumb

I know talk of him being loaned to Dundee has been mentioned before but I was told at the weekend by someone with a good source that this seems to be on the cards. Apparently a loan to Hibs was requested but Celtic are desperate for Rangers to come back up and don't want to give Hibs any help which sounds right on the money knowing them.

They've already loaned Hibs Dylan Mcgeouch so that makes no sense

That was at the beginning of the season I'm pretty sure they didn't envisage Rangers struggling like they are!

Wife just sent a text containing a screen grab from facebook where he has offered to buy a Hearts supporters kid a console and games after their house had been broken into and had the console stolen.Very nice gesture.

"Someone" is pulling your leg.

Nice if true.  Maybe the Thumb is starting to mature and think of his off pitch profile.

It is a very nice gesture, but the cynic in me thinks he has seen the outcome of the Tonev case and is accumulating some brownie points.

It's true. The guy he offered to help out is a Hearts season ticket holder.

I'm sure that wee gestures like this would have no bearing at all on any case. Sometimes we just have to suppress the cynic in us. ;-) Good on him.

Talented goal scorer, just needs to focus on football and try to clean up his act.  He only has to look at how GO and DR's careers have floundered, for motivation.

He'd odd, isn't he? Some of his acts suggest he might be a decent bloke at some level; others suggest he is a racist ****.

Meh, Jimmy Savile made millions for charity.

Kind gesture. He's been thanked by the family who turned down his offer as they "have things covered".

 

Its simpler to go by what people do, and be positive that people can change.

He was the one who burgled the house....

 

Nice gesture and all, still doesn't erase his past but shows he is "maybe" maturing.

Probably Oli Gottskalksson's handy work. :(

I thought that too, then realised he may just be the Grinch...

Nice gesture. Hopefully he was planning on paying for said items and not acquiring them the same way he gets his lucazade...

As a stand alone story, it's all very heart warming. Got to wonder wether it's done to change his image before his upcoming case though, how did the screenshot end up in the hands of a newspaper in the first place?

I hope it was done with honest intentions, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Well done Thumb.

Fair play to him.
Always thought he was a bit of a clown who was around for our amusement rather than a bad guy. A couple of years back after he played, what he thought was going to be his last game for Hibs, at Tynecastle I remember him going up and lapping up the Hibs applause then turned to Section G in the Wheatfield and kissed his thumbs and gave a big humbs up to us, and not with his face. Thought that was good humoured of him.

Fair play nothing.

Racist  scumbag he is.

Actually don't mind the thumb. Always takes our banter well, and hasn't ever really play that well against us to be honest. His cup final partnership with coke o'connor was laughable, whilst he has rarely beaten us in hibs colours full stop.

 

Fair play to him for his recent kindness.

Going to have to go against the Anti Leigh rhetoric, I think he is a good player, puts up with a massive amount of sh*t from us with a grin and now shows a humane caring side. Give the guy a break, we can all hate Hibs but in the real world these gesture matter to real people. It's the season of goodwill and I am half smashed already!!!

The Daily Record friends with him? Just reeks of PR, genuinely hope I'm wrong.

Give it a rest man.

 

The boys a bit of a trumpet, but he's trying his best to help. Think about the crap he gets everytime he comes to Tynecastle, and he's offering to help out a Jambo.

 

Just because he's Hibs doesn't mean you can't praise him.

 

Some people are so fickle minded.

biases aside, i've always suspected his heart is in the right place, and that his only problem is that he's a bit to emotionally involved, and 'a bit' of an idiot, unlike deek, who i've always suspected to be a bit of a knob. the fact is that he would still be at hibs if he could be, despite being way, way, way better than us - because he's passionate, nice, and (decisively) stupid.

Good post.  Sums it up for me.

Fair play to him. Got to applaud anyone that is trying to make a positive difference to a family that are finding it tough.

 

FWIW ..I've heard NL wants him at Bolton until the end of the season. They will also pay his full wage ..something Hobs were not willing to do previously.

He won't like it down there, not the whitest of towns.

Good lad though he offers to buy presents

Complete racist though based on one twitter comment.

 

Michael is a good guy dull one he was robbed. SLG messaged him personally as they have mates in common and wasn't looking for publicity.

 

People make mistakes in the past its what you do to better they mistakes and yourself in the future that matters. Clearly it shows for all the bad publicity he gets and all the abuse he gets from Jambos he's got a decent side to him regardless of what football team you support.

A racist filth bag. Not to mention taking part in singing that deplorable Mercer song and the one about us 'dying'.

 

Forgive me for not fawning over the rat.

There was a thread on this the other day. Would be shocked if this happened, Lennon is not a fan. I would put it down to the usual association of ex manager and player out of favour.

He's not racist, just a daft idiot who doesn't know when to shut his mouth.

 

Fair play to him for the axman pressie gesture

Perhaps he has decided to change who knows.  Still dislike him but never held him in the same regard as Ratboy Riordan.  He is nowhere near as bad.  This situation reminds me of the change that occured in Neil Lennon.  He went from complete idiot who was always the victim, always hated, to a semi respectable manager who reserved a lot of praise for us and spoke highly of Hearts, even encouraging supporters clubs and scottish fans to help us out when we were struggling and facing administration.
