The Internet Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yeah change a couple of team names and you can write the exact same article for Riordan. The two of them must look at Scott Brown and go 'that's what we could have been'. Which in itself is depressing enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If course I have made mistakes, but I don't include snorting powder, crashing my powerful car and doing a runner, trying to give a false name to the police, and chucking away my cup final loser's medal, amongst them.

DxB Hearts Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 One of my mates knows him and by all accounts he isn't a bad or nasty guy but has a series coke habit that's ruined him. In my opinion it's a shame that he's wasted the talent he had. Plenty of players, like Riorden, are horrible and you kind of love to see them fail but I don't get that with JOS.

Gizmo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Smith is the most nauseating, brown-nosing sycophant masquerading as a journalist found on this side of the country. Not only does his undeniable bias and love for all things Hibernian do a disservice to journalistic integrity (what remains of it) he also is too stupid to realise he does a disservice to his beloved Hibs too. These fan-boy fanzine articles in which Smith idolises one after another failed 'Hibs minded' player like a 10 year old girl hyperventilating and near fainting over some talentless boy band moron and plays down the fact they chucked away their careers due to their petty criminality and inability to rise above their hibs mentality, is pathetic. He should be holding these junky, alchoholic, thuggish players as examples of what not to do if you want to get ahead in life, or particularly in football.But then the sycophant probably has them up on the pedestal reserved for the real hell-raisers and writes off their idiocy by romanticizing their flaws as somehow a side-order that comes with genius. But they are neither geniuses - just once reasonably talented - nor poetically flawed, they are petty criminals unable to grasp the opportunity that was put in front of them.Just like Smith wastes the opportunity to write some meaningful stuff which, even if it resonated with just one up-and-coming star and saw them dedicate themselves to a proper, professional approach to augment their talent then he would have achieved something, but with his starry-eyed clich? ridden pulp, he is just a waste of print and trees.

trotter Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Probably get a bollocking for this one, but here goes anyway... ...I never really had a problem with O'Connor. I don't immediately recall him being overly abusive towards us or our players (Riordan/Griffiths) or actively engaged in shite wind-ups (Murray). If I'm honest, I just look at him as yet another one from over there who could've gone on to very good things if he'd just screwed the nut rather than embracing the traditional 'Scottish mentality' towards his career/training/not going out on the piss all the time. If anything, I just pity him. And if anything tells you all you need to know about why their conveyor belt of talent contributed the square root of ****-all to their trophy haul, look no further than 'Toni and Guy Day' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
