Any coach with a track record of putting out a coherent, positive team would be a start?

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · 20d

Clarke's team talk irrespective of who we are playing. #SCOBEL

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · 22d

Clarke's caution means we will never see the best from a decent squad. Leaving Gilmour out, the one player who can provide a level of rhythm and control should be illegal. A more clinical team would have murdered us before we started scoring Sunday league goals 😂 #SCOGRE

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · 22d

2 Sunday league goals and Buster Keaton in the Greek goal for the last one. Clarke's a manager who drains the potential of the team before they start, and leaves the player who might give us some control on the bench. Robbery, I'll take it but god knows where it goes with this leadership.

#DenSco the Greeks must be terrified after watching this pair.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Sep 5

Probably true. 0-0 Clarke's a hero 😂

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Sep 5

I'll throw in Dykes??? (Christie is a fine player when he's played in the right position, something that Clarke has never done)

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Sep 5

Bowie for Dykes, Doak for Dykes, You or me on for Dykes!

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Sep 5

Putting the young lads in with them wouldn't be a bad idea. But he won't, and McTominey being played out of position at the moment. Still, holding them off and they don't look great.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Sep 5

Already talking about us not holding onto it in midfield. If only we had a cool calm ball player in the squad.......

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 28

Let's go again. Loved these international games.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 28

Think I'll need a sedative now to sleep or that thoughts going to rattle about all night... Cheers Kieran 🤣

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 28

My son Coll and I said Campbell would have made more sense than Youan and I don't think both of us thought we would ever say that. Lost all balance.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 28

We should get better, some real talent out there, but god yes, gutting.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 28

Levitt pulled out of the cross ball too. Chiawa needs to be on the pitch from the start alongside Levitt. We had total control of the game. Odd sub of Youan? Kudje on too late again.......god we should have won that.

Love being a Hibbie. I'm 98 years old now.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 27

God you just know what's going to happen now........

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 27

I'm delighted you mentioned that for the good memories. Players still appear, but by chance rather than design, and are off as soon as they can for leagues to develop. Brugge have a balance of Belgian based and international, with a deep understanding of the game. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 27

Our game is broken. Brugge have a back line all from their academy, like most teams at this level. Apart from Scotland. Every team ignores its youth and it's development. Dundee Utd played in Europe without a single home grown player. It's killing us. And that's not to say this isn't hilarious.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 27

Scottish football needs a reset. Club Brugge tonight have a back line all from their academy. Rangers have a back line from all over who seem to have never played football before. All our clubs, including my own Hibs, don't build from the youth in the ways that others do. And it's killing our game.

Handball madness pt 1,323. Hibs v L Warsaw. Legias first goal. One of the best examples of a law gone mad? It's tiring to talk about it but unless we keep pointing out the ludicrous place we find our game with this interpretation, nothing will change. As good/bad an example as I've seen.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 13

Quite brilliant

America Xanadu @johnxuandou.bsky.social · Aug 13

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Tony Reekie @tonyreekie.bsky.social · Aug 13

Never thought of it that way before. Exactly!

Winners of the Champions League v winners of Europa League 😊

A wonderful story for Katrin-Berger, and a brilliant save to take them to penalties. The French must be kicking themselves, simply ran out of ideas. #WEuros25
