    The game tonight was on a knife edge. Two individual errors have lead to two goals against, and our top goalscorer has missed a really good chance, it happens. I'm as gutted as anyone else but we weren't battered tonight, and we didn't look beaten or broken at any point.

    Score first on Saturday and it resets the entire tie. The 2-0 scoreline tonight means we'll probably have to do it in extra time if we're going to go through but we're not dead and buried yet.

    What do you think the Hamilton players and staff said to themselves after the first leg last season, did they just give up the ghost and accept defeat?

    Not trying a different striker was a crazy call by Stubbs - makes zero sense at all when an away goal could would have changed everything for the 2nd leg. Baffling non-decision that would have done TB proud. Crazy !
    Away goals not worth anything more in the play offs.

    We're not bottling anything, it was 0-0 before the game so nothing was bottled.

    It's simple - opposition managers (of teams of similar quality) make tweaks to their tactics to nullify our threat. We change nothing and feel like we were the better team when in fact we have lots of corners or lots of shots off target but not what matters, hitting the target and scoring goals.

    If I was Stubbs I would have them practicing their finishing every minute of the day cause we never seem to work the keeper enough.
    The only tweak opposition managers need to make is - when Hibs have the ball, drop deep and let them play in front of you.

    It's obvious. We have no plan B.

    As for the corners tonight, they're no even worth talking about. Amateur efforts.

    The tie isn't over though, it's only half time. I've nae doubt McCall will set them up to drop deep from the 1st min on saturday, hopefully we're working on a Plan B.

    So what did he do then??
    well in the first half in particular he was the best striker on the park by a country mile. Took the ball regularly under pressure, dragged defenders all over the place, two or three penetrating runs one of which created our best chance of the game, hardly lost possession all night, great first touch, yes he missed a couple of chances one of which he created himself with a great first touch. The problem tonight wasn't,t just up front where Cummings had a poor night. Stevenson did little right , was solely to bame for the crucial first goal and generally looked like a wee laddie against men. Robertson and Craig struggled a bit in midfield despite huge effort. Hanlon was a bit hesitant compared with this seasons form and Gray just about held his own. To blame just the two strikers is way off the mark.

    I know it's far from people's minds after the result but Miller was definitely booked after his celebration wasn't he?

    Had a bet on Rangers to have more bookings and it's been settled as a loser, notice BBC don't have his booking in the stats?


    Not really wanting to discuss the game in detail other than that.

    According to ft report on BBC it is two a piece (McGregor & Shiels - Robbo & Craig) ,but they don't list Miller and he was defo booked for his celebration on the TV so I would say it is a winner!!!

    Thanks - exactly what I said and everyone else who watched the game agrees with. But every report/list of stats on the web don't have any sign of Miller's booking. Very strange and very frustrating!!

    The weaknesses which Hibs have shown on several occasions throughout the season came back again tonight, when it really mattered, to haunt them and the supporters, i.e. conceding a bad goal through poor defending, and the inability to put the ball in the back of the net (13 corners to nil I think, and Hibs lose 2-0).

    It's a terrible result, lets not kid ourselves, but it's not over yet. Hibs must score first in the return leg at ER, preferably early in the match, to have any chance of pulling this out of the fire.

    If they don't, and the Huns score first, it's all over and another season (at least) in the Championship beckons with all the repercussions that may have for the club.

    Tonight's result won't have done anything to encourage a large attendance on Saturday either. Hibs needed to keep it to at the very worst a 1 goal defeat tonight. I'm way beyond disappointed.

    He's paid to score is he not?
    As I said he was not the only culprit, Cummings was like a man down, as was Allan. The defence was a joke too. Not tackling, standing off...All in all a pretty poor show, but to my mind had either Malonga or Cummings been anywhere near on song, we would have scored. It was so obvious yet Stubbs failed to see this???

    Vile *******s. Subjected to a dismal tube ride full of ****s singing about fenian blood and the queen, drinking buckfast and giving the word "****" a bad name.

    "Is that a Celtic scarf?" Witty. The death of their club is a drop in the ocean compared to the societal issues they represent.

    Unfortunately it happens in another big game, the other one im thinking is Falkirk semi final which IMO was pretty similar to tonights game.

    Was actually similar to their 2-0 win at Easter Road.......Fontaine scores with header, different game......Wallace nicks one just before half time and half time team talk changes......same tonight.

    Hibs need real cutting edge.......more importantly they need to sign wingers so there is a 'plan B'.......we have none.

    Based on that - I fancy Motherwell to stay up

    Rangers looked a tired team...if they get through over us, think they will struggle big time against well

    3 key moments in the game swung it in Rangers favour:

    1. Cummings' missed chance early in the game;
    2. Stevenson's crazy defending at their first goal; and
    3. Collectively static defending from Hibs at their 2nd goal.

    As ever it's a fine line that leads to a win or a defeat. Apart from that Hibs controlled the game without ever looking like scoring. A lack of a cutting edge in the final 3rd has already cost us a Cup Final place and looks like scuppering our chances of promotion.
    True.....

    A disappointing result ... if we had kept it to a one goal deficit we would have been well in the tie, as it is, if we can turn this around it will be the best result we have achieved in the last 30 years IMO

    I don't think Hibs were poor, but in the last 3rd we just have to create more .... only Stubbs can explain why El Alagui or Dje Dje wasn't brought on for the last 20 minutes when we were winning corner after corner and Cummings was doing nothing .. I just don't get it.

    As for the Huns throwing stuff at our players with absolutely nothing being done to stop it by the Rangers or their security ( joke ) The answer is to ban the Huns from Easter Road on Saturday and give refunds to their idiot fans who have already bought tickets. If it was up to me Hibs would make a formal protest and ask for the game to be replayed ... I don't care if it influenced the result in reality or not, it was incessant and the Rangers did nothing about it.

    Anyway ... This isn't over, if we can get an early goal on Saturday its game on !!!

    As many have no doubt stated on here it was small margins that lost us that game. Cold comfort though. We have missed width and pace for seasons now and the lack of either was really shown up. Malonga was the one player who really played to 100% of his ability.

    I can't see us keeping a clean sheet on Saturday but as always I'll be there cheering them on. I'll be amazed if the winner of this doesn't stuff Motherwell.
