Have complete contempt for hibs- went a couple of times to Easter Road as a student and never felt so scared at a football ground. No problems at Tynecastle or elsewhere in Scotland just a bunch of scheemies from the Leith estates who should be locked up and key thrown away (make Begbie from Trainspotting look like a normal reasonable human being). At another game my mate had a shuriken (ninja star thingy) thrown at him in the ground. Maybe it’s all moved on as Leith has been gentrified but it’s a no from me... (not that I get say in it)

I stand corrected
Sorry but i don`t see any up side to this whatsoever . They would have access to all that our world class academy has to offer , and we get a few youngsters that cant make it at a far weaker inferior club than ours . How we would benefit is not clear , if we want to loan them a player or vice versa we can already do that , to make anything official would be crazy and come with potential problems we don`t need . Steer clear .

Three players Hibs could sign from Brighton if partnership is formed

We've clearly given them enough traffic to double dip the story.
Oddly though there's no mention of the 3 players who'd come t'other way.

As long as it doesn't come with sectarianism, as Notters suggested, then neither of these will apply.
I'm puzzled why our club would want to do this when we're so adamant that we are not having any direct links to USG - "no, no, no, it's a completely different entity, no connection at all, apart from the coincidental matter of the same owner."
Also, are we allowed to have a feeder club, or a formal agreement of this sort?

Presumably it’s just another avenue for us to loan our young talent to.
Currently we have u18/23, Belgium and any Championship sides we can do a deal with. We get a SPL side to send our players to, they get some talented youngsters. Win win.

I feel sure there is far more to this agreement than that, we wouldn't have entered into it lightly.

If Hibs had Karbownik, Caicedo and Khadra they could push a Edouard-less Celtic into third place.

Yeah the last thing Best and beast Sussex needs is to be arbitrarily divided by some arcane, out of touch, system created long before anyone was even born.

Why can we not loan Hibs, or any other team players we choose without any formal agreement in place?
Fine set of fans aren’t they? Beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup Final. Invade the pitch, attack Rangers players, then have a go at Rangers fans, then stop the presentation of the cup by being complete knobheads, but it’s okay because they sing a nice song.

The only thing I can see that Hibs could offer us is a guarantee to start any players we loan them in x number of matches.
So for example, they would have to play a more junior player, lets say Jenks, in 10 games a season, but a more senior one, say Karbownik, maybe that would have to be all matches when he's fit.
I really cannot see what else they could offer that we couldn't get just by making informal arrangements with clubs as and when.
If I was a Hibs fan, I would be deeply concerned and the chance of getting Khadra would not be anywhere near enough to bribe me.

Would they be allowed to have three players on loan from one club - or three actually playing anyway?Three players Hibs could sign from Brighton if partnership is formed

True. Hibs fans out-Rangered Rangers that day, talk about taste of their own medicine.

I am sure that we have identified that Hibs play a style of football that we think will be a good learning spot for our youngsters.

But football styles change over time. We play totally differently to how we did 2 years ago. There must be dozens of sides now that do tappy goal kicks etc
After seeing how quickly Celtic fans turned on big Shane i`m not sure i would want to place a potentially good youngster in a similar position , where he could get panned for having a bad game . Whilst there are benefits to toughening up a young player , there is always the possibility of damaging a young lads confidence in a hostile game , some of the stuff i read on FB and Twitter about Shane was bang out of order and he is a hardened pro .
Although after what i read on here yesterday maybe not as hard as Ali
