He’s not the current “boo boy” target though is he? Whittaker is..Any of his errors are being picked up and disproportionately commented on - on here and during games.

People are reacting because some are isolating Whittaker for criticism when actually, during the first half, he was largely left isolated in the holding midfield role, as his midfield colleagues were not tracking their runners..

Nobody minds constructive criticism, and no one is saying he is perfect - just that he was not the main person at fault. For example: People started by finding fault at his contribution, yet Horgan who let his man run passed him and get the assist in wasn’t being mentioned by them.. that’s why some people are defending him

Overall he had a decent game yesterday - that’s not my view - that’s Neil Lennon’s..I’ll take his opinion on it .

Theres several players getting slaughtered by the boo boys and hibs.net analysts . Hyndman , Slivka , Ambrose , Swanson before he left . Even Mallan our top scorer has attracted a few cracking comments about going missing etc on here .

Did not think Potter was looking well when interviewed.

Get well soon Craig

I thought Efe finally managed to get through a game without a calamitous **** up. After watching the highlights, he literally just let Brophy have a free shot for the 1st and then got away with a trademark brain fart challenge on Broadfoot at the end.

I think that is why Celtic let him go in the first place, he always has had the errors in him, but at Celtic the could afford it, as their strikers always baled them out!
Unfortunately, at Hibernian we need solid defenders who cut mistakes to a minimum, and not make them in every game!
He is a great player on form, but when he makes a mistake it usually ends up a tragedy, as his kick at Broadfoot nearly proved!!!

Noticed during the St Johnstone v Aberdeen game, that all the Dons fans were in the Ormond Stand, rather than the opposite stand that we got where the new road is.

Burst pipes at the usual end. Heard it on the radio on Saturday morning

In all the discussion about the validity of the hearts goal I was a little surprised there no mention of the contact made by Naismith on the Motherwell keeper as he took the ball round him to score.

[G B Young]

What always irritates me about Sportscene is the 'commentary' dubbed on after the match. Why not just have a voiceover summarising the action like they used to do?

[BILLYHIBS]

If the Hearts goal was HIBS I would be shouting for it. The big centreforward goes in hard in a 50/50 on the goalie and Naismith walks round the goalie 1-0

[JimBHibees]

Anyone not surprised no discussion over Rangers appearing to get a penalty when tackle outside the box. On another thing the frankly incredible situation of one of the major clubs being able to ban one of the main broadcasters for football in Scotland for both radio and tv without any sort of admonishment is shameful.

Agree wasnt obvious on first showing but very clear foul when slowed down.

The BBC are boycotting Ibrox due to Rangers banning one of their journalists. Good on them for sticking up for their people.

Ok didnt realise that thought it was the other way round. They still show live games from Ibrox in the cups dont they?

I just watched the highlights on tv .. He just lets their guy score the first unchallenged. Poor defending from him , his challange on Broadfoot was poor as well. He has been ropey so far this season

It's not the lack of challenge it's letting the guy in front of him far too easily. Schoolboy stuff!

I'd have him out of the side as soon as Mcgregor's fit again. Get us some clean sheets under our belts and then maybe we can build more from there.

Could be a case for striker being out of control in the tackle. You don't injure the keeper if it's a fair challenge

Are hibs in capitals because we're from it?

Be interesting to see that incident close up and in slow motion.. it all happens so fast it's hard to tell if it is or not.

Dunno every time I type HIBS it goes in caps.

See what I mean?

Stephen Robinson the Motherwell Manager does not blame Bobby Madden for awarding the goal source: Daily Ranger.

So must be a goal

OK it is recorded as a goal

Over zealous challenge by Hearts number 9 went in hard on goalie done his ligaments but if I was a Motherwell fan looking for blame look at the pass back hoaspital ba!

Accept that!

The guy is a handful and was entitled to go for that ball.

The passback caused the problem

Players get injured in 50/50 challenges every week that don’t result in fouls

Agreed, but referees regularly give fouls, and cards, against players who win the ball but make contact with their opponent on the follow through.

This all happened in the first half where apparently Whittaker was excellent.

He didnt connect with ball so it wasnt a fair challenge.

I’m just challenging your opinion that Whittaker had a good game and done nothing wrong on Saturday. That’s what message boards are for.

I'm not sure if anyone is saying he did nothing wrong.

You could just as easily have put up 3 of the things he did very well on Saturday, well you could do that a lot more easily as he did a lot more than 3 things very well.

Of those 3, yes they aren't great, but I wouldn't say they are all that bad either. The third one is the worst, because he gets suckered in and well-beaten by a good player whose Achilles heel is his pace on his stronger foot. A defensive midfielder should not be allowing that to happen.

You've got to take the rough with the smooth. You could go back through McGinn or McGeouch's performances and find plenty of similar instances. It doesn't mean they are bad players or were having a bad game at the time.

I just wish their boycott was total. They still report from Ibrox, or at least someone watching the game on a dodgy feed on the internet reports on games. If they mean a boycott then there should be no BBC reports from Ibrox at all. IMHO

My point with Whittaker is that he marks players passively like this every single game.
I actually think the first one is the worst. He starts of touch tight but then decides to let the guy turn a full 180° to get the pass down the wing.
