As I thought at the time, from the other end of the ground; never a penalty.

**~~PISTOL1875~~** · 17-01-2010 05:29 PM

I can't believe Riordan bottling it in the lead up to there goal.. Unbelievable...

**Hainan Hibs** · 17-01-2010 06:31 PM

Smith was outstanding in goals.

That's the first time I've seen the Riordan incident in the lead up to their goal, absolutely ****ing disgraceful, a ****ing embarrassment.

***Bayern Bru*** · 17-01-2010 07:32 PM

Riordan bottles it and we were muscled off the ball in the leadup to the goal.

Awful.

Also, does anyone wonder if Goodwillie missed twice on purpose because it was never a penalty? I can't understand how ANYONE could miss from that close when they were intending to score.

Have you had too much drink this weekend ?? Why would anybody want to miss on purpose ???

Smith was brilliant.. The saves he made were quality.. The Riordan '' tackle '' is a disgrace.. Nothing more than a joke..

He should be embarrassed to pull on the jersey...

***snooky*** · 17-01-2010 10:23 PM

IMO if a player doesn't have the will to give 100% he should pay to get in like the rest of us. Unfortunately, there were a few powder puff tackles in the highlights.

Reminds me of the poignant story of how a war was lost all because of one nail missing in a horse's shoe.

***Jonnyboy*** · 17-01-2010 11:32 PM

Never a penalty

Well I was pretty sure it was obvious that I wasn't being entirely serious.
Next time I'll add a wee disclaimer just for you.

(that's to indicate I'm just kidding)

**hibsbollah** · 18-01-2010 08:31 AM

Hogg not to blame for the goal. Sorry to sound like hibsspain but I thought Smith could have done better for their goal?

**hibeeleicester** · 18-01-2010 09:52 AM

smith was outstanding

How long before hes in the scotland squad

**Riordans Boots** · 18-01-2010 10:11 AM

Never a penalty

Smith was superb

**DaveF** · 18-01-2010 11:54 AM

Awarding a penalty when it was so clearly outside the box says everything about the performance of lino's and referee.

It's not even close to being a penalty, so what the hell those jokers were looking at is beyond me.

I also don't buy into the 'Hogg to blame' thing. He get's over there to close down the shot but was unlucky with his attempted block.

Hogg ran across Smith's line of vision as he attempted to block the shot.

That wouldn't have helped.

I don't agree with all this Riordan "bottled it" stuff. He lost possession cheaply but Im not sure the ball was there to be won. I think we can moan about his poor control but are we really gonna slate him cos he didnt lunge into a challenge that was 30/70?

And the ball has then travelled the length of the field where we've had numerous chances to win it back.

Some tosser behind me was blaming Deek for the penalty aswell FFS.

As I remember Deek played Rankin a hospital ball and instead of moving into space to receive the return, he stood like a spoilt child throwing his arms about in a cream puff?? Then UTD run up the park and penalty!

***Diclonius*** · 18-01-2010 01:26 PM

Does boyhood Hibby Swanson celebrate his goal?

***Golden Bear*** · 18-01-2010 02:01 PM

I wasn't there on Saturday but going from the various post match slagging threads, the verdict was that the performance was not up to scratch.

However after watching the highlights, it struck me that the team seemed to create more chances than in some of the games where we scraped a win in true hawrts style.

It's a funny old game as they say.

You remember it wrong.

Deek played the ball to Rankin. Stokes had moved for a ball over the top - arguably the lazy option, as he could've been in short to take the pass from Riordan in the 1st place. Rankin played the ball expecting Stokes to have come short. So Rankin lost possession. Not for the first or last time in the game.

Look at it again.. The tackle was there and he pulled out of it. Not even interested in trying to win the ball back.. Bottler...

**ancient hibee** · 18-01-2010 05:48 PM

OK it's just the highlights but it seems to me that we didn't have the luck we've had in some earlier games.Not nearly as bad as I expected and we could have won it in the second half.
