Jack Milne

Robinson made only one change.

Injured, Mayo dropped out and Jack Milne came in at the start.

First thing, how good was it to see Marshall, you know, keeping his jersey?

I was absolutely delighted.

The goal is coming.

Yeah.

And then on 62 minutes from a corner, Jack Milne has his arms around Jason Kerr.

Kerr goes down, Nick Walsh points to the spot.

bet On to lose on penalties I can't The last thing Oh my god I had the bar bar I thought

Yeah watch But the last thing Is unbelievable You know what I should be doing But Jack Milne's doing Like now I can potentially Sometimes go on a stand But if he's done it My heat's gone down And I'm just getting

through it Aye Aye it's hard I can't if the goalie saves it

fair play but you think as like for that goes down you think oh that's class

All right, lads.

Four coffees for you this week, but Dunk must read it out.

Jack Milne is the best defender I've ever seen.

Steven Robinson is the next Alec Ferguson.

Hibs got a penalty against Aberdeen.

Milne on care.

Again, it's pretty clear to me, Des, Hibs-Aberdeen, this is a clear penalty for me.

Do

you know, I'm looking at my notes and I'm just, Hibs penalty correct, arms wrapped around him, Jack Milne on Jason Kerr.

The thing that I've got here is we need more consistency on this thing because we can all see it.

And we see it in different games all the time, and it's not given.

Toyosi, Olusanya dragging wide after being released by Afiz Arimu, but Hims gradually began to build some sustained pressure.

Their equaliser arrived on 62 minutes after Jack Milne was penalised for wrestling Jason Kerr to the ground as the defender was attacked an Adam Mayer delivery from a short corner Martin Boyle stepped up and confidently dispatched the resulting penalty down the middle Aberdeen almost restored their advantage moments later with Milne meeting Finlay Marshall's corner only for Salinger to keep his close-range effort out Hebs carried the greater threat into the closing stages as interim boss John Potter searched for a first home victory after six consecutive defeats at Easter Road substitute Ante Souto headed narrowly wide and later saw another effort blocked in stoppage time while Nisbet remained Aberdeen's main threat at the other end but could not add to his opener neither side could find a decisive second goal leaving Aberdeen with a point that moved them on to eight from seven premiership matches while Hibs ended their home losing run but remained a point behind the Dons in the table Mike, perhaps the biggest talking points in this game weren't necessarily what happened on the pitch because there wasn't a huge amount of quality there, but what was happening off the pitch at both sides.

David Gray left Hempst last weekend and John Potter, former Parsman John Potter, was in the dugout for this game.

Last time I looked at the book, he said Steve Clarke, his favourite.

going and it's often a tricky game.

I think the most disappointing thing is that Hems didn't really look like scoring and we gifted them the goal with the penalty.

Jack Milne, no complaints from me that at the award of the penalty it was so naive and I think that's kind of becoming the crux of his career is naivety on the pitch unfortunately and he's not a young kid anymore he's 23 and and to just bundle through the back of Kerr like that was so silly and it's a shame I think Muller must have thought about staying still and he he didn't move a lot and and and looked like pretty disappointed not to have kept that Martin Boyle Pentley out but there was some ferocity in in the finish I think yeah frustrating from the dons actually that they kind of gifted Hempstead the point but in the grand scheme of things not a bad point at all and with Hearts dropping points and kind of everything tightening up around them.

A much better place to go into the international break-in for Aberdeen.

to stand up and be a striker in that team.

But also, you could also say the same thing with Jack Milne for Aberdeen at the back post.

He's four yards out and he's headed straight at the goalkeeper.

Either side of the keeper and that's a goal for Aberdeen to go 2-1 up.

big talking point from the game is a penalty for Hibs.

The challenge, there's a pool of the jersey.

Jack Milne.

Yeah, Jack Milne on, I can't remember who it is.

One change, Martin Ingram, Lewis Mayall dropping out altogether from the squad, presumably injured, but I also wonder if his indiscipline is starting to catch up with him a little bit.

He's only one yellow away from a suspension in the league now, but Indiscipline would also be at the heart of Jack Milne's afternoon.

Yeah, I posted something on social media earlier on the Saturday about just, again, probably more reflective of just how quickly things change in football that in July, I think it was very much clear Steve Robinson had spoken very much about how his preferred formation would be in a 4-3-3.

He was looking to play with two centre-backs and I think at that point, Lewis Mayo and Dan Happy were very much brought in as the kind of preferred candidates both got shots at the captaincy's armband during the league cup group stages and then fast forward just a couple of months and suddenly you're playing in a back three and it's all the incumbents it's Milne Knoster and Milloyal playing and yeah I think I think I think element I don't think you would have went to trouble of not having him in the squad at all if it wasn't an injury issue so we'll certainly go with that but I think it was interesting in that comparison between the circumstances in which Less so Mats Knoster, because again, I think once he was fit and available and with how well he'd done the previous season, I think there was always going to be an opportunity for him to get back in the game.

But maybe a comparison between how after the Dan Happy incident Gavin Belois came in slotting in the left starting back and as you were saying earlier Richard has really grabbed that opportunity I mean again I mean you can't you can't expect to be smacking in 25 yard daisy cutters in the bottom corner of the net but he's also been you know incredibly effective going forward he's ultimately responsible for the assist that leads to the goal that Kevin Nisbet scores albeit I think you'd give a lot more credit to Nisbet on that than you would to the assist but he's also been really assured and solid at the back and so while I did mention this last weekend while a lot of people are very keen to anoint Dan Happy as the worst centre half they've ever seen in their life and a poor man's Ash Taylor or whatever you're going to go through which I think is way over the top I actually think Dan Happy acquitted himself pretty well up until the point that he started having a brain fart or two and unfortunately then when you compare and contrast that with Jack Milne where again this really gave him the opportunity to put his hand up and stake a case to start more regularly on the right hand side of that back three for as long as we continue to play a back three I do wonder whether we might see with Quite a significant, probably the longest international break we'll have had in living memory.

I do wonder whether they'll have an opportunity maybe just to rethink the way they're playing for when we come back to a few more home games against teams that we would probably be expecting to beat and be looking to break down rather than sitting back on.

But, yeah, I mean, you know, he does really well, albeit for a short period of time in the cup game as Kilmarnock, scores the winning penalty, then comes on in the second half at Motherwell and, you know, again, equips himself well, part of a team that, you know, keeps a clean sheet.

I think it could have been worse.

I'm very surprised that you've not mentioned that Jack Milne should have been sent off yet, Ewan, because you put that in every chat

that I'm in at the weekend.

I missed that.
