What Now at Easter Road? via The Scottish Football Blog April 26th, 2007 at 00:30

There appears to be something in the water in Edinburgh – and it's not coming from the burst sewage pipe at Seafield. A season of smug satisfaction for Hibs fans looked like it might get even better. One cup was already locked in the trophy cabinet. Kevin Thomson was dumped and Scott Brown returned to equilibrium. European football – and a shot at the Scottish Cup – lay only 90 minutes...

A Chick for Christmas via The Scottish Football Blog December 6th, 2006 at 15:19

Christmas is nearly upon us. And the pantomime horse of Scottish football, Chick Young, is at it again. In yet another column devoted to Rangers, the die hard St Mirren fan, waxes lyrical about Jock Wallace and the relative merits of Paul Le Guen. The Murder Hills at Gullane beach are mentioned as Chick harks back to a simpler time when football was stuck in the dark ages. Chick, never the...

The Week in Scottish Football via The Scottish Football Blog December 3rd, 2006 at 19:54

The runners and riders in Scottish football over the last seven days: Well Done You! Until this afternoon Kilmarnock were going to get this for performance of the week. But Falkirk made a late charge and came through on the inside after putting Rangers to the sword. A special mention to Scott Brown. After building up a reputation as the player other teams love to hate he’s achieved a double...

A Bitter Taste for Hibs Fans via The Scottish Football Blog December 1st, 2006 at 14:18

Kevin Thomson and Scott Brown. It’s getting a bit boring, this saga they’ve engineered. They’re young men and they feel they should get paid what they’re entitled too. Fair enough. They’ve drafted in Willie McKay as their agent, no doubt impressed by tales of his life in Monaco and his incredible story of how he made Jean Alain Boumsong a millionaire. But the players were happy enough with...

A Lesson in Lennonism via The Scottish Football Blog November 28th, 2006 at 17:04

Has Kevin Thomson realised that the nonsense he helped create around Hibs last week was over the top? After the ridicule he found heaped on him following his farcical Daily Record ‘column’ last Tuesday, today he was in a more conciliatory mood. No mention of his mummy and his yearning to free her from the chains of wage slavery. Rather positive talk about winning silverware and fighting for...

Time for Hibs Board to Stand Up and Be Counted via The Scottish Football Blog November 21st, 2006 at 06:05

A new manager. A league cup win over you city rivals. Two SPL wins on the bounce. What could possibly go wrong for Hibs? Well, the transfer window can open in January and that same old combination of an agent engineering a handsome fee for himself and a board petrified of any financial risk can rip the heart from your side. So your new manager will be incandescent that the assurances he...
