An update on Jacks status.

Judith from the club has phoned and an alternative seat in the West has been found for me. And an email from Scott Lindsay hoping I enjoy the game.

No. Why? Do I have to be, to see how weak we look? I can see that from the teamsheet

[sleeping giant]

I assume Deek wanted 10 when he returned but it wasnt available.


Hows the weather in Calgary?:greengrin

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

No. Why? Do I have to be, to see how weak we look?

When you say things like look I was just wondering if you were there or not. Keep yer pants on :wink:

Here was me thinking Gordon Marshall had left, yet his spirit still remains

[PeeJay]

Wotherspoon - excellent goal!!!:greengrin

[vahibbie]

Back to all square :greengrin

[cabbage07]

Hibs of a couple of years ago would have had this game wrapped up by now we have got to get some qaulity in the midfield ,years of clamity goalkeepers is really not on .

[Viva_Palmeiras]

"he's bleeding youngsters into the team"

Talk about not finding the right words :greengrin

[Haymaker]

FFS I go to the bathroom and miss both goals?!

[The Voice Of Reason]

Makalamby's final error in a Hibs strip........surely ?!?!?

How many FFS ? :grr:

On a happier note - Credit to Yogi for playing the young Wotherspoon.....his faith in him has been justified. :agree:

[Moulin Yarns]

Wotherspoon, so good they named a pub chain after him :thumbsup:

[CalgaryHibs]

player from Montrose has been sent off 4 now!!!

HIBS 1-1 st midden:greengrin


chek that Ross cty player sent off upto 5 now!!

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Wotherspoon, so good they named a pub chain after him :thumbsup:

Gotta come up with a ditty for him noo...

[GreenCastle]

Liked what I have seen of Wotherspoon so far.

Maka - sadly same old same old :grr:

[CalgaryHibs]

one of these days Hibs will spent good money on a good keeper,

[Moulin Yarns]

Gotta come up with a ditty for him noo...

He's here, he's there, he's every effin'where Wotherspoon, wotherspoon

[erskine-hibby]

one of these days Hibs will spent good money on a good keeper,

:faf::faf:

[erskine-hibby]

ok I may have got the scorers a bit wrong, but my prediction still stands 3-1 to Hibs:thumbsup:

[Richard Scott]

Half time :rolleyes:

[erskine-hibby]

I've said it so many times before maka, nice guy though he is, is a liabilty in goal and should be dropped ASAP.

[Steve-O]

Mediocre so far. It won't surprise you all to hear that we've passed the ball about nicely enough but really gotten nowhere :rolleyes:

Maka actually made 3 errors for their goal - missed a passback, fluffed his pass after retrieving it, and then came out to the edge of the box to collect a cross, which he missed! :grr:

[MyJo]

Best players on the pitch are our 2 falkirk rejects and the kids, Hanlon and Wotherspoon. :thumbsup: :wink:

Nish has a heid like a 50p piece :grr:

[cabbageandribs1875]

a lot of posters said gordon marshall was to blame for maka's individual mistakes...i just dont get it :stirrer:

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Looks likes this Jim Gannon fella has the measure of the SPL...

[TheEastTerrace]

Definitely need a cutting edge up front. Nish doesn't convert enough chances for me. If the Stokes rumour has substance, that wouldn't be a bad addition.

[PeeJay]

Impressed by McCann & Hanlon in particular - Cregg & McBride doing Ok too as are Bamba & Hogg - we pass the ball well, fight doggedly for possession but have as yet no real cutting edge up front. Rankin having a bad game, Riordon needs better service and Nish has to be replaced as he's bound to get another yellow card!

Why not bring on Benji?

[Moulin Yarns]

Looks likes this Jim Gannon fella has the measure of the SPL...

Aye, just nae idea about the first division :wink:

[Richard Scott]

Have we kicked off yet? :confused::wink:

[Viva_Palmeiras]

did hogg come off eventually?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

[hibbie02]

Positive subbies from Yogi :agree:

[Richard Scott]

:boo hoo:

[SanFranHibs]

Did not expect that. Thought he was having a decent game. Hope we are not leaving ourselves exposed at the back, although St. Mirren seemed to have settled for a point.

Still plenty time for a winner Hibs.

[Richard Scott]

Fantastic play from hibs, in the last 10 minutes of the 90.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Hibs have upped the tempo in the last few minutes.

Very offensive team on the park now.

Hasnt he only got 12 months left on his contract? SO he could stay, score goals, then walk for free...

Well maybe a fee in January ?

We need all the goal scorers we can get - on the day he is the one of the best in the SPL.

[TheEastTerrace]

Wotherspoon MOTM.

Hibs still pressing forward.

Wotherspoon sounds promising. :agree:

Well done Hibs and Yogi for his 1st win as manager at ER ! :thumbsup:

Welcome back Benji :wink::thumbsup:

[TheEastTerrace]

FT. Solid enough start. Maybe Benji can provide the cutting edge for us.

[CalgaryHibs]

good result 2-1

[GreenCastle]

good result 2-1

1st games are never easy - so nice to get 3 points.

Let's hope we can make ER a hard place to come and win at this season.

[Bristolhibby]

It seems that Yogi can do what Mixu could not. See that changes had to be made, and make them.

Well done Yogi, well done Wotherspoon and welcome back Benji.

J

[Steve-O]

Oh Benji Benji, he used to be in Egypt but he's aright now, oh Benji Benji!!!

Oh Benji Benji, he couldnae find his passport but it's aright now, oh Benji Benji!!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Wotherspoon was good but I actually thought McBride was MOTM. I would be surprised if he misplaced a single pass all day long.

[hibbie02]

Sounds like a huge improvement from last season

Maka still capable of basic cock ups, Nishybaws not cutting it up front

The ball doing the work on the deck. Wotherspoon sounds like he had a blinder of a debut.

And more importantly a manager who seems to know what he is doing. Making the right changes to defeat a 10 man team. Rather than the last 2 managers who didn't seem to know what subbies were for. How promising is it when Yogi isn't afraid to take of both full backs to bring on 2 forwards? Riordan sounds like he is on fire too. It sounded like waves of Hibs attacks at the end. We had to score.

Still seem to be lacking some creativity in midfield, but at the end only one team was going to win. If we swopped over the goalkeepers it would have been 6 or 7 nil, as Gallacher had a blinder for St Midden.

What a strange and wonderful feeling winning the opening game of the season. :greengrin

[ancienthibby]

Oh Benji Benji, he used to be in Egypt but he's aright now, oh Benji Benji!!!

hmm.

A narrow win at home, over an impoverished 10 man St Mirren is hardly take a bow material.

yep the future's bleak with Yogi in charge - I'm away to cry myself to sleep :rolleyes:

You can take a bow mister grumpy guts, always someone ready and willing to have a right grump for nothing, jezz, give us all a break.:grr::confused:

[Steve-O]

hmm.

A narrow win at home, over an impoverished 10 man St Mirren is hardly take a bow material.

It was a general improvement on anything I seen last season, not to mention that St Mirren were effectively camped on their 18 yard box for the entire game.

When Zoumer is back, things should improve further :agree:

[BSEJVT]

hmm.

A narrow win at home, over an impoverished 10 man St Mirren is hardly take a bow material.

FFS

Whilst we are never going to win the SPL, at least give the guy a bit credit.

Mccann not played for a year

3 guys making their debut, one of them his first competitive start for a first team

Hanlon at LB, just a laddie

Had the balls to chase the game and take off both fullbacks and play novices in their position to chase a win.

Played Benji, and if that had fallen flat on its arse and they had fluked a win, can you imagine the stick he would have got for all this?

At last a manager not scared of making big decisions and unafraid to put his head on the block.

[CapitalHibs]

St Midden were taking no prisioners either:grr: Absolutely shocking tackle on Cregg. Ref gave a few soft decisions against Hibs; perhaps to give the appearance for no being biased:rolleyes:

[Westie1875]

Well done Hibs and Yogi today.

Played well with the ball on the deck, last 15 mins were fantastic stuff and it was typical of Benji to come on and score the winner. Seems like he and Yogi already have a good working relationship as he headed straight for the dugout after scoring. :greengrin

Wotherspoon looks very promising and I liked what I saw from all of our new signings - McBride in particular, cracking black eye he is now sporting after that elbow from Higdon (?).

St Mirren were a very dirty team today, the number of sly kicks, elbows etc. which went unpunished was very annoying. The "tackle" for the red card was a shocker and Cregg was very lucky not to be seriously injured.:bitchy:

Whoops. Green blindness as enveloped some of the members again.

Who said I was unwilling to give him credit?

But I do not think he should take a bow. It was not a major achievement.

Sorry for telling it like it is.

[Dashing Bob S]

Delighted as it was a massive improvement on last season in terms of passing and use of the ball, and also a manager with the guts to make changes. St Mirren were very physical but offered little else. Hibs would have lost or drawn that game last season. Killie anyone?

[NOLA]

c'mon the HIBS:flag:
BENJI to score the winner off the bench!

TOLD YOUS ALL!! :thumbsup:

No we are not world beaters, far from it, there remain major flaws in this side.

One swallow does not make a summer for Yogi's time as Hibs Manager.

But to decline to give the manager any credit for having the guts to field the side he did and make the changes he did is completely churlish.

You must be suicidal when we win and absolutely creaming your pants when we lose, as you simply cant wait to be negative?

Not so much glass half empty and smashed to smithereens?

er, no not really.

But if you managed to squeeze that out of my simple statement of fact, then, that's your prerogative.

i seem to have been surrounded by utterly negative/ suicidal fans at the game today, guy to my left barely reacted when we scored the 1st...

why do they do it to themselves? and for that matter why do they project their negativity onto everyone else?

really got me with that one, you are correct, I have been unmasked .

But if you managed to squeeze that out of my simple statement of fact, then you are a genius.

I thought it would take everyone much longer.

Apologies,

I had rethought that last post and considered it ill advised and had changed it prior to your response.

Its just been so long since we had anything to celebrate that it annoys me that folk cant give credit where its due.

We are a long way from where we want to be but at least he gave the dice a roll.
