Thought he was about 38 

Was surprised by that as well.

Kirk Broadfoot signs for Open Goal Broomhill. Hell of a signing for them. He did well with ICT last season.

That’s just brilliant if not a surprise. He was injured for most of last season.

I guess we've still got Porteous to boo when Hibs come to town, but it'd have been nice to have a backup.

Please tell they gave him a contract of more than a year ?

Bound to be a top earner as well

Sadly just a one year deal but I would be very surprised if he is not their top earner.

It's just a bizarre bit of business all round.  I know normally rational hibs fans that were pleased ffs, even to the point of saying I would have been delighted if he signed for the dons .

I’d never heard of the guy. Maybe they’ll pay 60 mill for McKenna next summer…

Decent signing for them and should just slot back into the team. Knows the league so no settling in period.

Aye, good signing. He's no Hayden/Shayden/Jayden* Morris like.

Barcelona must be going the way of the huns. Apparently told frenkie de Jong (on something like €560k a week) has been told he can stay if he reduces his wages by 50%.

Long read but goes through the financial insanity that is barca pretty well.   I wasn't aware that camp nou is getting a 1.5 billion revamp but unbelievably it's already been financed.

Surprising for him, but it’s fairly standard for players to join NPL teams outside of the a league window. Cumdog had a stormer of a season last season so I’d imagine he’s pushing him.

Real Madrid win their 5th Super cup beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0. Benzema now 2nd highest goal scorer in history for Real. Only Ranaldo ahead on list of all time goal scorers for the Franco loving fascist cunts.

Hibs allegedly offering a contract to Mikey Devlin.

Good signing if he stays fit. Very very big if though.

He always came across really well on RedTV. There was only so long that the Dons could continue to offer him a contract though. The biggest problem for me was that when he returned from injury on several occasions, he wasn't actually very good. There was one game against Hearts he was absolutely honking, missing simple headers by getting caught under the ball and just looked like he'd forgotten how to play. That could have been down to nerves and lack of practice of course, but you'd think Hibs would need a confident, settled player immediately. A decent defender on his day though, a poorer version of Mark Reynolds (at his best), with limited ability on the ball. I look forward to him not celebrating when scoring a consolation goal against us.

[Jute]

He had good games for us but think there were a number of games where it looked like he played when not fully fit at times. If he could have got over his injuries there was a decent player there. But he could not and getting rid was the right decision. 

[Jute]

Assuming his ban for gambling is up.
