Hibs host St Mirren on Saturday and need to get back to winning ways to fend of Falkirk's pursuit of 5th place. We talk through our pre-match thoughts on the game.
Certainly plenty slavering on last night's podcast. Ian quoted Celtic Park pitch is 40% larger than Leith San Siro pitch, maybe he thought we had a Polo team. Joe came out with another exclusive, we won't be signing an out of contract Barlasser next season as his wages are too high. Loved to know where he is getting his infoI love the Podcast but can't listen when there's all these faces and voices. With respect there's a lot of slavering.... Matty does a fantastic job but this version/edition of the Podcast for me undermines their brand. The main Podcast with Matty plus one or two is one of substance that's thought provoking. Matty will know his audience and reach of each version though so respect to him. For me I'll continue just with the main episodes.![]()
I need to defend Ian here - he mentioned the 40% bigger figure back in May and it caused carnage with folk challenging it, but if you’d googled it at the time (which I did to find out what the script was), Google had Celtic Park as 10,000 square feet, and Easter Rd as 7,140 sq ft.Certainly plenty slavering on last night's podcast.

The phone ins are really popular, they were a slow burner but folk tune in for them - I think people like having someone to agree with and someone that they think talks shite to disagree with!Much better with just Matty, John and Colin but I'm sure they know the watching figures so the phone in one must be popular. Just seems to take an age to get round everyone.
Aye maybe throw the questions about a bit rather than round the houses. Good you get plenty youtube comments in tooThe phone ins are really popular, they were a slow burner but folk tune in for them - I think people like having someone to agree with and someone that they think talks shite to disagree with!
As for taking an age to get round them, l can do something about that - I like to try and give everyone a good chance to get their point across and we have an hour to fill, but I can try mixing the format up a bit to go back and forward between folk quicker and see how that goes, always open to feedback so I’m happy to give that a go.

7,140+40% is just under 10,000 ergo Celtic Park’s pitch is 40% of Easter Rd’s pitch bigger, in area based on that info.
When he looked it up while we recorded last night, the information had been updated and the areas were given as the same.
As for Joe, like everyone, it’s just his opinion that we’re not signing Barlaser, I would hope nobody is taking anything that’s said on the phone in (or any of the episodes really - I’m the first to admit I’m an idiot!) as anything other than that.
A slight change in format this week as we go more quick fire round the panel to get their thoughts on Hibs draw with Dundee on Saturday and what the squad needs in the summer window.
Thanks - I think we’ll stick with that format!Just watched it Matty. That worked well![]()

I will try and find a bigger mic!!You need to reposition that big microphone a tad Matty.
Can still see your coupon.

On the phone in this week - Hibs fans discuss Gray's position and what Mackay needs to do about it, is this the best squad since the Tornadoes, and will Hibs beat Motherwell? Plus CIS Cup Memories!
Jack’s really coming along with it, is been great to see.Good stuff Matty, and a good performance from the young lad, whos growing in confidence
@Longbangers Matty can you ask John if he feels no points, no goals and dreadfully boring clueless football against Livingston and Motherwell at such a crucial time of the season is ok?
I shall put it to him!Oops! Aye maybe I'll edit![]()
Don't mention my mistake about the pointsI shall put it to him!
Thanks Matty. Wasn't meant to be a leading question in any way. It was prompted by John recently saying something like "What's wrong with just going along and supporting Hibs" That's a fair enough opinion but I was genuinely interested if anything could shake that resolve. Keir Starmer could get tips on how to dodge the questionI shall put it to him!
