James Keatings is leaving Hamilton. Bagged 11 goals in the league last season which isn't too bad considering he was battling with MAC and Scotland for a starting berth. Not fully clued up on him but he might be useful as a back up for Mckay.

Gunning also isn't very good. He would be 4th choice at best in our defence.

His penalty was very good.

Surprised no one has mentioned Paul McGowan who is being let go by Saint Mirren. On his day he could be a real thorn in our side. I was impressed by him in the match in Paisley back in December but he has had a few off field issues recently and his performances over the last few months have been below par by all accounts. Maybe that's why no one has mentioned him!

No lover of McPake but you could show videos of Warren, Meekings, Tremarco, Foran, Tansey and Watkins all doing similar last season. But I agree McPake is gash. The difference is that Foran, Meekings et al. don't do it on a regular basis. Well, maybe Tremarco and to a lesser extentForan. Bit a liability.

McPake? He is utter pish. He flies into far too many reckless challenges after giving the ball away or as a result of poor positioning or just a general inability to interpret situations without someone painting him a picture first. One of those defenders who thinks a nice big thundering challenge is the order of the day at any point during the game. Here is a classic McPake challenge (40 seconds in)

Did you read what his definition of 'unsung' was though? Maybe a bad choice of word but I got the point. I did. His final paragraph seems to contradict things some what when he talks about "some of the top performers from the season gone by, outwith the usual suspects." Some of these players are the ones who you would expect big things from even if they weren't nominated for awards. Some of those guys are widely regarded as their teams best players or won their teams player of the season. That said someone like Steven McLean at Saint Johnstone would meet what he sets out to do but I feel a large number of his selections don't.

Mckay an "unsung hero"? Aye okay then Rob.

A poll on Hibs.net has 75% of Hibs fans wanting Butcher out.

Edinburgh now has more pandas than Premier League clubs.

Well this is awkward...

I would take OTJ back and perhaps Stanton. All the rest are brutal especially that haddy McGivern.

The offer could simply be to take him away from the club on a free. I would take him.

I didn't get any vouchers with my season ticket but I see on the ICT site you can request them. I doubt I'd use them anyway. Anyone want to buy them? Say for £50?

McGinn won it for his effort(s) v Hibs.

I'd be happy to try and help but I couldn't lead on this I'm afraid. If I did I would hold it in Aberdeen so I didn't have far to go!

Arrange a game of football between fans...

In all seriousness I think it is a good idea. Some people will want to remain behind their usernames so as long as you don't go up to folk saying "Hi I'm '12th Man' are you RiG?" I think you'll be okay. I would suggest you do something for one of the World Cup games and go to the pub or a pre season friendly meet up?

Miami and a Jägerbomb drinking contest with Aaron Doran.

Hamilton looked absolutely rubbish. Incredible to think that they were 2nd best in the Championship and almost nicked it from Dundee. They made a disgusting Hibs side look solid and, at times, competent. As funny as it would be to see Hibs go down I would be disappointed to miss out on a trip to Edinburgh.

It will be available to buy as soon as possible....do you think the club are sitting with thousands of shirts at the stadium and not selling them just for shits and giggles? I saw some of the players building a fort with the new shirts. An absolute disgrace!

March 6th 2004 so season 2003/04

Brilliant news. as much as I'd like a couple of new signings this summer I think it will be much better if we get the first XI on extended deals. Shinnie, Meekings and Mckay next please!

Do we have a date for when the new tops are coming out?

Signing Magennis would be like resigning Tade. Strong and quick but with little skill. Not a big fan of Vernon to be honest and I suspect he wouldn't want to come here to sit on the bench behind Mckay.
