That in no way negates my point that standing off Uche ended badly for Hibs at Easter Road. You may wish to have a wee chuckle at these clips and consider how much Stones gets for his efforts at Man City. Yup, a bloke who gets paid more than our entire squad making a pigs ear of it and also tripping over the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest for every one moment of 'magic' from Uche theres about 20 where he ****ed up. There were entire games where he broke down more Hearts attacks than the opposition defences.

They dont talk to other people or have online access. They cant read reports and work things out for themselves. Theyd really have no idea what gmtheyd be up against or who he even was, let alone know how to play him. It would be a total surprise. Seems like we're entering yet another area where you're an expert. Architecture, stadium design, new stand construction, the installation and upkeep of hybrid sports pitches and now the mindset and tactics of 1st Divisiion football teams. There really is no beginning to your expertise and no end to the puerile shite you spout. It's not that much of a stretch to think Uche could have been useful in the Championship simply because of his physicality had we decided to keep him (if we even had a choice not knowing his contract details around relegation). Players who flopped like Nade, Wighton, Keena, even David Wittenween found goals fairly easy to come by at this level after leaving Hearts or when on loan.

You may have missed my comments stated they were “IMO” - that’s my opinion which I think I’m entitled to make. Do you really think many Championship teams tuned in on TV or attended Hearts games to watch Uche when they were in a different league? And “reading reports” would give them the secret of how to play him? 😂 Your “expert” opinion that you only have to back off Uche is flawed as already has been noted by another poster in any event! As for your other childish comments I would confirm that I did have some “expertise” relative to the design and building of the new stand, thanks very much. As for my comments on the state of the pitch they were based on the “expertise” of a professional in the grass growing industry - and regretfully over the last couple of years these concerns were well founded. As for your “puerile shite you spout” comment it says much about you than myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wee Ali shuffle, feed Hickey, and BOOM! 😉 I still think uche was passing the ball to the referee whom he mistook for a hearts player. He got lucky that Hickey was there.

He’ll play Berra at centre half and hope that neither Edouard or Griffiths play. I just can’t see Ginelly starting but he might make the bench if he’s fit for 20 minutes. Lee will play instead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the game on Saturday could have an impact if any injuries and either a great or shocking performance by anyone. Irving has a chance to play himself into the team with an outstanding performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacelsid Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Three points on Saturday is all that matters for now, and do not want anyone saving themselves for the final, a good performance and comfortable win would be the preferred preparation and confidence booster.

Mikey1874 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I think Celtic's game yesterday gives them more problems. The best players - Soro and Turnbull - who helped win them the game are bit part players. Unless Lennon is going to completely change his approach it's just more division and confusion in the squad. Including putting Scott Brown back in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
