I think it's a credit to the extent the club has progressed that we supporters no longer feel the need to commmemorate the anniversaries of our so-called giant-killing endeavours by ...er...... starting.. er topics er...

The Press and Journal are reporting today that the Sanchez injury was worse than ititially feared. Turns out he broke his hand in three places and required surgery on Sunday. Butcher thinks he'll be out for over a month and will miss the cup QF story here This is a real blow not only to Sanchez but to the team. Since he made his goal scoring cameo against Elgin he looked a far hungrier player and he looked a lot better than he has done in the past. He has strengthened up considerably and doesnt back away from tackles nearly as much as he used to. Also with his goals and creativity he brought something different to the team, as the article says he also brought enthusiasm to the dressing room which made him a popular part of the team, he will be missed i wish him a speedy recovery and for him to be back to full fitness soon

:laugh: Nice one!! its all in the words... as in fork handles.

Suggest you forget it....could you imagine how that might sound coming from our pa system!!!

On a Sunday ? as least it keeps one of the old firm in the competition for an extra day.

I can't believe we discussed this miss without using the word "Shockerooney!"

I had wondered when you'd make an appearance, TCK Disappointed you're still giving it laldy with the 'Cultured Centreback' thing and your tirade against Jones (Bamba on the other hand I concur wholeheartedly!) The last Hibs player you could probably label 'cultured' would be Franck Sauzee. Hoggy on the other hand you would term solid, wholehearted, brave, committed, no-nonsense and intelligent, but certainly not cultured. Rob Jones was a good player in his own right. We were very, very fortunate to have Chris and Rob at the club at the same time. Both had their own individual strengths and weaknesses, and are cracking individual players but together, they complemented one another excellently, cancelled out each other's weaknesses, and ultimately formed an outstanding partnership that was ended (upon Jones' sale) all too prematurely. I've never witnessed a better central defensive partnership at Hibs in my lifetime, and reckon it may be a good while until we see the likes again. You reckon - http://community.cal...post__p__297943 There's a fair number of us disappointed to various degrees about his departure. Certainly, given that he's a great idol of mine, I am absolutely gutted, and a signed shirt of his still takes pride of place on one of the more prominent walls in my household. And even including his heavy detractors, you'd be hard pushed to find anyone willing to question his commitment, professionalism and character. A number of our players also share the same dismay, most notably, our 20-year-old first choice centre-half desperately in need of a steady partner, who loved playing alongside Chris (not that they were allowed to play together much after Calderwood came in) and was learning a great deal from him. Instead he's having to play alongside Francis Dickoh every week: the less said about whom the better! I'm chuffed to pieces for Chris after the goal and reports on his performance I've heard both on this board and elsewhere since the weekend - especially the latter given his ridiculous lack of game time of late. I'm convinced he will thrive under TB's stewardship, and with any luck will recover the confidence that was ebbed away at in his last year at Hibs. A clean break with a manager, teammates and supporters who will get behind him completely is the absolute least he deserves. Congratulations on your progression in the Scottish. My fingers will be firmly crossed for you all against whichever of the Bigot Brothers you end up playing. I might just pop up for the St Johnstone game on the 19th given I'll be back in Aviemore as of next Wednesday and Hibs don't play until the Sunday. All the best as ever.

Here is a piccy of Dougal on Dornoch Beach.

Do we really need entrance music? We're in the SPL, not the WWF.

What's so childish about it? He's been offered the chance to prove his theory....should we be expected to foot the bill for that when we believe he is wrong? I thought the offer to refund his money should he prove the lower end of his theory correct a very generous one...and double his money for thousands of new fans would, IMO, be money well spent and I'd happily part with it if proved wrong.

Your words not mine. It's hardly rocket science!!!! I'm not saying thousands would necessary join up to P&B but that site certainly seems more welcoming than CTO P&B and all other SPL clubs forums gives the lurker the option to read on while CTO doesn't unless they register which IMO puts the majority off It certainly doesn't help enticing new fans dougal So now you are not saying thousands, perhaps your hyperbole was lost on me. P&B is more welcoming than CTO? Personally I think if you are going to be getting worked up about ICT websites you are focussing on the wrong one.

And I hope they also realise that alcohol will be banned on the trains. Used to be just Glasgow trains that had bans on maqtch days but First have taken the decision to ban alcohol on trains to and from Inverness on SPL matchdays after a train was trashed by Dundee fans back in May. Have not travelled on train to SPL games this season so far but have seen notice at Perth station

So players who haven't really featured this season or have just arrived at the club are given the nod above the two players who between them have garnered more accolades than all the rest put together.
