big wallace Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Where did Robbo come via? Hibs! Why such a fuss about riordan? After all Csaba wont sign him if he cant be a professional. Maybe he could be our next Robbo! Give him a try, and if he cant be a professional, get him out but he's IMO worth a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveofthegame Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Unlike Robbo, Riordan is not just a Hibs fan but a ****my rat to boot. This is why so many fans have a problem with it (i do not, i think hes a good player). However i still don't believe for a minute he'll sign for us so its nothing to really get our knickers in a twist over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 John Robertson's brother was already playing for Hearts when we signed him - their other brother George? was a big Hibby and Robbo had these tendencies as a kid however I'll wager that Robbo's family are nowhere near as trailer trash $cum as Deeks family & friends and there is no way that Robertson EVER HATED HEARTS in the same way that Riordan and all his family & friends DO.

Lido Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Robbo went to the occasional Hibs home game with his Hibs supporting brother. He didnt tie a scarf round his neck, jump on a supporters bus and follow them round Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big wallace Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 the question is - Is Riordan professional and mature enough to get past his Hibs ties and be able to handle the stick if he was to put 3 past them on derby day? Personally, 2 years ago NO Now, well Im still unsure! IMO he is worth the risk! Whats the worst that can happen - he can mess up his career as a footballer when we ditch him and be dis owned by hibs fans and his family for pulling on a hearts top.

The Wicker Man Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm not trying to defend Riordon in any way - but is the only evidence of him being a 'racist' that Youtube camera phone video?

Craig Gordons Gloves Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 There are certain players that no matter their record/skills i would never have accepted/accept playing in maroon. Riordan fits the bill of these along with players such as - (I'm not saying any of these would have ever happened) Lennon Ferguson (Barry) McManus, Murray and every other fud from that team There are probably more - and despite all the potential etc to score etc - Riordan is not what we need at this club. It's said that he could do well with discipline and that Csaba is good with that, however, Riordan IMO would just not get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapist Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Seeing Riordan in a Hearts jersey would be a ****ing insult. Who would REALLY want to see someone who has a pure hatred for the club play for us? Good points mate. You - like me - mix with proper Hearts fans. As you know, every one of them finds the thought of Rhat Bhoy joining us morally unacceptable. Fortunately it won't happen but I find it repugnant that some (so called) Hearts fans are creaming their boxers at the thought that he might.

What he does outwith those 90 minutes is of as much concern as what YOU, or anyone else, does outwith those 90 minutes.......NONE !! Perhaps not, but it gives us plenty of valid reasons to doubt his attitude and his professionalism. Both of which would undoubtedly affect the way he performs for us or anyone else. There's no smoke without fire and his antics have been well documented. For the record, I think he'd be a great signing for us and I wouldn't mind it at all...assuming he might have grown up a little and realised that his future as a footballer depends on how he performs at his next club. I think he might be worth the gamble, but I can fully understand why others are doubtful. I've seen him and his cronies in action plenty of times (and I don't mean on the pitch) and I don't like him one little bit, but he IS a goalscorer...and in purely footballing terms, I think he could be a good signing for us. Or Hibs. Or whoever.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
