Disser Pointon Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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.

vegas-voss Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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.

Franco Fascione Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Kind gesture. He's been thanked by the family who turned down his offer as they "have things covered".

Brisbane_Jambo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveb15 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo191 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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.

TyphoonJambo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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 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.

Quagmire Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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.

Jimmy84 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 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.

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.
