Wow, just wow.Thats shite. There is a player in there.
Comments like that show you've learned nothing from Lewis Ferguson and Josh Doig who apparently were shite as well
If he signs he'll be accepted by me from day one. Just like Mojo.Until Porteous scores a cup final winner, against St Mirren at Hampden, when we are down to 9 men, he won’t be accepted by the fans.
Assuming that's a dig at me amongst others. I don't dive in on every post and rumour. Just the ones that have a bit of info on. Time will tell clearly on this one.Amazing that Duffy mentions we are singing porteous and all of a sudden all these members have heard from people at Rangers, Hibs coaches and all sorts that he is signing, just all of a sudden they have got the info, I love a good itk poster.
Thug on the field
Scumbag off the field
Nowhere good enough for a team that wants to win the league and do well in Europe
He would be constantly booked and sent off for us as well no way he would get away with what he does as a Hibs player
I refuse to believe there are not better options than him out there
I have heard the same from an ex hibs coach, deal was pretty much agreed in October and to expect him in January.
I am surprised, one reason is I don’t rate him, the other is under both Gio and Gerrard we would press whoever the other CH of hibs was, and let Porteous have the ball knowing he wouldn’t do much with it, and it worked.
If the ex managers didn’t rate him, why the hell are we signing him.
Porteous might not be the answer but the reality is of the six centre backs in the first team squad two are permanently injured one is probably out until the new year another Gio told us is unable to play three games a week that leaves Michael Beale with an eighteen year old and a make shift CBI have heard the same from an ex hibs coach, deal was pretty much agreed in October and to expect him in January.

Very true.Andy Goram and Colin Stein are two of my favourites.We have brought in plenty players in from them over the years and have ended up being very good for us.
Just not a particularly good oneTheres a player there
Probably more likely be out more because of VAR and nothing paranoia based.He would spend more time on suspension than playing,Refs would hammer him more playing for us than Hivs.
Must be right enough then eh?I have just heard this is true from the taxi driver who just dropped me off.
So Ross Wilson thought Katic wasn’t good enough, but Porteous is better??? Wow just Wow!
He stands out now and again in a shite Hibs side. His errors tend not to be highlighted because Hibs are shite.He isn’t a crap footballer.
You’re not a Scottish international player at 23 if you’re crap.
tbh, that's just about the calibre of Porteous.Let’s just re-sign Ian Black while we’re at it.
The fact he’s a low risk potentially free transfer?tbh, that's just about the calibre of Porteous.
Why the actual f*** would we be looking at somebody as poor as him, when there ARE (even Scottish) alternatives ?

Who are these Scottish alternatives? A couple that wouldn't cost over £5m and would get a game for us would be ideal.tbh, that's just about the calibre of Porteous.

£100k? You genuinely believe that?I wouldn’t be against signing him but we’ll probably pay about 750k to get him in January and let Kent & Morelos go for about 100k each.
Same. I think there's something there that can be honed.Gona go against the grain and say he would be a good signing
Halkett at Hearts is the only Scottish SPFL centre-half I'd sign. Was at us as a youth.Who are these Scottish alternatives? A couple that wouldn't cost over £5m and would get a game for us would be ideal.
Perma crocked also and not good enough for us. He's a massive bear I've heard though.Halkett at Hearts is the only Scottish SPFL centre-half I'd sign. Was at us as a youth.
No chance. It would be like signing Lennon in his playing days, maybe even worse.Hundred percent. I'll never accept that scumbag in our colours.
Genuine question.......so what?Our new chief scout worked at Hibs for 10 years.
Ffs what is it with Hearts and crippled centre halfs!Perma crocked also and not good enough for us. He's a massive bear I've heard though.
This all day. He’s been at fault for a number of goals against us.His positional sense is terrible he's missing for lots of goals Hibs concede
Out of interest, why? He was before my time, but he didn’t seem like the type to act a scumbag like Porteous has?We signed Mo Johnston. The fans accepted him. A far more toxic character than Porteous will ever be. Oh and when I say he was toxic I do not mean his religious background.

Rubbish Mo Johnson was a very good player.We signed Mo Johnston. The fans accepted him. A far more toxic character than Porteous will ever be. Oh and when I say he was toxic I do not mean his religious background.
He was at the table with Ross Wilson and Beale on his first day at training ground. On the RTV video.John Park? I haven't seen anything about him or Scouldings replacement at all
Gordon Dalziel is the same, but he did say out of the blue about this time last year that he thought Souttar would sign for us.Jim Duffy is a tedious little slaphead who gets pin-money for pretending to be ITK on a parochial little radio show that has to beg listeners to call in - on the nights when it isn't calling them. Porteous , 'a name that is on the minds of both Rangers and Celtic fans for a number of reasons' - what a complete pile of utter horse shite. I haven't heard a single fan of either club mention him even once - except to say what a diving cart-horse he is. Duffy is an absolute walloper, trying to sound all intelligent and connected. He's the exact opposite.
For me 3 things stick out re Johnston;Out of interest, why? He was before my time, but he didn’t seem like the type to act a scumbag like Porteous has?
I think you might be right mate haha.Rubbish. The first steady performance in our current bombscare of a defence and fans will be hailing him as exactly what was required.
Football fans are fickle. It’s just how it is.
spot onFootball really does make mugs out of all us. In what other environment can you hate someone so strongly, only for them to change employer and be welcomed or accepted by those who once loathed them?
Anyway - and I'm sure this has been said numerous times - I've generally no issue with signing players with whom there may be bad blood with the club, but another average Scottish footballer with an underwhelming career who's a liability both on and off the park? Nah, no thanks.
Well said Jorg.Yes, you absolutely can be.
