Hibs have been a long ball team for some considerable time now yet still idiots like McLean trot out the usual pish about flowing football. Doesn't every team at every level "like to knock the ball around" though? And frankly, if the media carry on with their patronising guff about Hibs, it keeps the pressure off Mixu, and ensures he stays... which can only be good for us.

sked21 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It's in the same league as "Hearts are a big, physical team" Exactly. The media really have to open their eyes and actually watch the other 10 teams in the SPL and actually have a proper opinion. They will then see that Hibs aren't that great at playing football. And that we aren't just about being phyiscal. Other than our centre backs and Ruben our team isn't that "big". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF11JamTart Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Something similar perplexed me last season. the number of times that the media said "Hibs are playing the good, stylish football that they normally do". Stastically, how many times to they have to play pish, in order for pish to be regarded as their normal style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo mark Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 to be fair hibs do like to knock the ball around . . . until after two passes they are hampered by a lack of ability, and punt it up the park for fletcher to jump into the defender and give away the foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N User Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Even under the Monkey, they would pass it amongst their back 4 before Rob Jones would lump it up the park. Under Collins, their tactic was to lump it long for wingers to run onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 this is just your standard, run-of-the-mill, box standard pile of lazy thinking pish that eminates from the vast majority of so-called experts in scottish football. same as hearts being a big, strong, physical team. same as the gut wrenching pish you see about scottish players being honest. same as you see about bottom team always being 'a joy to watch' whereas we are always portayed as being a team that plays anti-football.

269miles Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Don't forget they are also a 'young' team . I know , because the guy said so just before the last league game on TV. When they ended our 05-06 start they also spent a fair bit of time knocking our team about and shelling it up the left wing to the Road Runner for 90 mins. In a flair like fashion , a la Brazil , of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanHearts Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Mowbary had them playing decent football. But in saying that their 4-3-3 became a 4-5-1 when they were facing the ball. Macleish had them playing decent football. But in saying that he got a bit lucky with the signings of Latapy, Sauzie, Mixu. I say lucky coz his record of signings ever since have proven him to be a very average manager. So those Eras (which probably total about two years) are basically what the lazy, ignorant media hacks and delussional Hibs fans refer to when spouting about Hibs style of play. Well since the late 70s to the current time : that equates to about two years of decent football out of 30 years with the other 28 being full of complete gash. In no particular order : John Blackley, Bertie Auld, Alex Miller, John Collins, Bobby Williamson, Jim Duffy, Mixu etc. etc. Get a grip Rob !!!
