[hibbie02]

[Pretty Boy]

Wonder if i'e got time to get a few grand on Irvine Meadow. Without Calgaryhibs we're doomed.

[CapitalHibs]

7 mins to KO Ground very slow to fill up

[Darth Hibbie]

Thats it over for another year then :greengrin

Mon the Hibs :notworthy:

[CapitalHibs]

East stand less than half full.

[jakki]

Weather here in Livi is sunny but freezing. Snow still knee deep but now freezing up and brick hard. I imagine Edinburgh will be similar'
And where's Calgaryhibs? a black omen?

[HH81]

Is there a good away crowd in?

[1875godsgift]

East stand less than half full.

What's the away end like?

[Pretty Boy]

The BBC has a Townsley in the Alloa line up today, is that one Derek Townsley of Hibernian fame?

You lucky sod! :greengrin

[ScottB]

Sorry, why is Preston commentating on this, I haven't heard him say squat about the game other than Irvine Meadow taking a shot and 'banter' relating to our Cup record.

Ridiculous from the Beeb!

[Captain Trips]

speakers on my laptop are broken, have we no scored yet?????????

No and Preston is getting severly on my wick, why is this Jambo at our games? He isnt even a good reporter, cmon Hibs and score and shut him up.

[Richard Scott]

A push at the back by Riordan so it's chalked off

[jakki]

No goal ,, Booooo

[Lofarl]

Deeks had a goal chopped off

[Liam89]

Gotta love Hibs interactive :thumbsup: Just found my username and email address used after 2 months of wasted annual fees

Dunfermilne 2-0 up against Stenhousemuir

[CapitalHibs]

Meadow winning everything in the air:grr:

[Sylar]

Meadow with 4 corners, 3 shots on goal and a claim for a penalty already.

Sounds encouraging...

[Captain Trips]

This match should be mostly about fitness, think Hibs will soon be wearing them down, well they bloody better.

[iwasthere1972]

Dunfermilne 2-0 up against Stenhousemuir

Make that 3-0.

Dunfermilne 3 up and in the next round, lets hope we join them soon :greengrin

[Billychaotic182]

****** Sake hibs score lol

[magpie1892]

It's not 'all Irvine Meadow' FFS. Grow up. They are getting a few breaks, to be sure, but there's nothing to worry about... yet.

Shocking crowd though, lucky if it's 9,000.

[IWasThere2016]

Anyone know what time the floodgates are due to open at Easter Road?

and what about his absolute raker against Rangers?

[Dunbar Hibee]

Preston aboot greetin the stupid jambo ****

[Captain Trips]

Hibs really should be looking to have scored by this time, in order to make subs later when game should be won to try things. Not good enough as yet.

[MacBean]

does anyone else have a reeeeaaaaallly bad feeling??? :Ummm::panic::sick::paranoid::no way:

Whats Rankin playin at?

[Jim44]

Sounds like we're panicking.

[Sergey]

Nothing can go wrong now!

[GloryGlory]

Whats Rankin playin at?

I've often wondered this, too.

[Ell_Chrisso]

I'd love to see them go 1-2 up, and see what kind of bottle that Hibs team has.

Complete Embarassment since the game began, and Irvine should not be getting beat.

Some "Professionals" .... Prrrfffff

[Richard Scott]

2-0 - Zemamma

[Captain Trips]

2-0 now

[Billychaotic182]

Zouma 2-0

[Moulin Yarns]

[CapitalHibs]

Cracker from Zouma!!!!!:wink:

[chorley_fm]

:bitchy:


this is Hibs remember, just be happy with a win

[hibbie02]

I don't know why Yogi picked him today. He has never done cold weather.

I take it back! :greengrin

Rankin for the 3rd???

[Lofarl]

Glad to see Zouma getting a goal. He's been getting a lot of flak recently. A lot of it unmerited.

[Dunbar Hibee]

2-0 up and had two goals disallowed? Some embarrassment.

[Ell_Chrisso]

:bye:

Your point? :confused:

[Ell_Chrisso]

2-0 up and had two goals disallowed? Some embarrassment.

Very lucky to be!

[Dan Sarf]

Gaby Logan on hearing Hibs have scored again: "Shame." To be fair, she quickly followed this up with, "Not for Hibs, of course. Just the end of Irvine's romantic journey." What about our romantic 108 year journey?

[spudhib]

Hibs playing well now says Mr. Preston:agree:

[snooky]

How bad is Open All Mikes? Is this a chat show or a football report?
Please cut the personal drivel and tell us what's happening at the games.

[(((Fergus)))]

Zoumamma should have been rested today

:agree: Hasn't got the appetite for this kind of game :greengrin

[Billychaotic182]

Nish Just missed

[Onceinawhile]

Very lucky to be!

make your own luck

[Richard Scott]

HT - Not as easy as many predicted.

[Captain Trips]

There is the common phrase at ER, "Colin Nish Great chance and wide".

[joe breezy]

Sometimes luck plays a role, maybe it's a sign, we're going to win it!

[Billychaotic182]

Ht 2-0

[hibiedude]

HT - Not as easy as many predicted.

I have gone for 3-0 fulltime

But almost full strengh Hibs team struggled for 34 minutes

[Wull]

:greengrin1st: this was first time in all my years listenin to Hibs HI that I heard the goal before I saw i texed in the thread.

2nd: let me think... oh ay I think we may have a popper GK.

Cummon the Hibees:thumbsup:

[Ell_Chrisso]

Exactly! Not exactly something that gives me much confidence in our team, that hasn't exactly played well for a good few weeks.

Sorry, but i just think the first half hour is completely un-acceptable, and regardless of people saying, "well its 2 nil now".

It should be worse than that. Junior sides in there league would be winning by bigger margins. There's summin wrong if they can OUT-COMPETE us at our own patch, for the majority of a first half.

This often happens in Cup-ties where a top-league side's drawn against what some folks discount a a 'wee' team.

Patience! As long as we're in the draw for the next round.

[Lofarl]

Cmon how many times has a small team ran a bigger club ragged in a game. Its part of the cup ffs.

Imagine if you found yourself playing against the Yams (which may very well happen real soon if you play amateur football). I bet you'd run daft for 90mins and play the game of your life.

From what I hear on the hibs radio that fella turner seems ok. A sproule kinda deal in the making. I wonder if the tache is on it.

:agree:

When we do it to them, it's 'the romance of the Cup'.

When they do it to us, it's 'completely unacceptable'.

2-0 up at half-time. Yogi will be explaining a few things to them even now.

Let's wait and see what happens.

I haven't heard any radio coverage of this game but going on other posts for updates It did appear that we struggled to get in the game but 2 up and word from yogi at HT mite get them playing the Hibs way, passing and entertaining the fans.

I have said it before and I will say it again. There is something fundamentally wrong with this team. The results have been hiding things, but we are continuing to lose the midfield battle against everyone we play. There is no point in having 4 forwards and no midfield. We are playing with only 2 midfielders and one of them is Rankin. So we have 1 midfielder who knows how to play, one who is hopeless and 4 forwards who are not getting the service.

Possibly the performance of a team on a hiding to nothing. Lose the game and become the all time laughing stock of Scottish football. Scrape a win and take the inevitable criticism on the chin. Win by a barrowload and get no praise for doing the expected and inevitable. Hopefully we have shaken off the nerves and go on to play some good football. Two or three more goals would suit me because they will come out with nothing to lose and I think they'll get a goal.

[Captain Trips]

As I said hopefully the fitness will be kicking in now, Hibs should IMO be scoring a good few more to give everyone a lift.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

c'mon stokes, find the net to keep your goalscoring spree going...

[nonshinyfinish]

D? :cool2:

Wotherspoon.

All I am looking for is a professional performance and we are not getting one. If we stroll the game, play good footy and score when the chance arises, that is not a hiding to nothing.

Settle down. we're 2-0 up without leaving first gear, it doesn't matter if we win 2-0 or 15-0 as long as we're in the next round who cares?

Of course they will OUT-COMPETE us, it's the biggest games of these guys lives, it's not even Hibs biggest games in a week. It's always the same in cup games, the 'wee team' often out runs and out fights the 'big team' for large spells of the game but inevitably quality comes through, as it has here thus far.

People need to settle down, we will win and comfortably.

[Captain Trips]

Who got booked for us there?

Giant-killer syndrome - Meadow are the only team that'll take nay credit from this match. They were up for it, and Hibs weren't. But we're up 2-0 and surely fitness'll begin to tell in the second half, plus our guys should settle down and play now.

But if we lose a goal right after half-time..... :rolleyes:

[hibbie02]

Hogg

A common theme amongst FFC fans when Yogi was in charge was the un-happines about always playing his facourite players regardless of aptitude or form and also his reluctance to change the system. I can see that here also. The only thing I think that is wrong with the team at the moment is the balance and I think that needs addresse.


A 4-4-2 would suit us better, with Galbraith wide left and Zemmama wide right. Dropping Nish and Deeks and Stokes up front.

[CapitalHibs]

On the face of it, this is a rotten game of football

[--------]

Wotherspoon.

Ah. So do I. :agree:

Could Galbraith and Riordan play in the same team? I think they'd get in each other's way.

4-4-2 works better, but that would still leave us short in midfield as Galbraith and Zouma would not add to the midfield and we would still get overrun. We need Galbraith or Zouma, with McBride, Miller and another competent middy to compete.

[Billychaotic182]

Am going to say Nish is going to score and lets see what happens.....:devil:

[Pretty Boy]

Have i missed something or is Galbraith this seasons Yantorno?

No-ones really seen him play but he's magically the answer to all our problems.

[Juice-Terry]

How awful are Rankin and Nish? Jeez....

'Mon the Cabbage!

[Petrie's Tache]

I seen him play pre-season and he is miles better than Rankin IMHO.

3-0 are we happy yet?

Hanlon 3-0:thumbsup:

[Hank Schrader]

3-0 are we happy yet?

No, I was looking for at least 3,000 today. Anything less is just not good enough. :wink:

[Velma Dinkley]

another goal?! very unprofessional.

[Captain Trips]

There are those 3 words we all now know: Nish, Sitter and Miss.

I fully expect him to score now.

[Pretty Boy]

I seen him play pre-season and he is miles better than Rankin IMHO.

I don't doubt he's better than Rankin but as a previous poster said can we really afford him and Zemamma in the same team as that really wouldn't address our midfiled shortcomings.

The obvious player to replace Rankin is McBride as and when he's fit enough.

Nish doesn't operate in cold weather, he doesn't like Cup-ties, he's only playing becuase he's one of Yogi's favourites, he couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo....

If THAT doesn't get him a goal.... :rolleyes:

[hibiedude]

Aberdeen 1 up :thumbsup:

Alan O'Brien looked fantastic against Stirling Albion once.:wink:

I'm not knocking Galbraith for no reason but i'm just mystified as to why people seem so desperate for him to play when we have seen very little of him in competitive games.

We need McBride fit and in the team, Miller and probably Cregg. Then add Zouma/Galbraith and upfront we need to keep Deek and Stokes. That cuts out the prospect of Nish and Rankin and gives us a decent team and formation.

And before anyone says Deek can't play up front with another striker, I give you O'Connor and Riordan, out most prolific strike force in years.

Ah aye! hertz..... :greengrin 'mon the sheepies!

Alan O'Brien looked fantastic against Stirling Albion once.:wink:

I'm not knocking Galbraith for no reason but i'm just mystified as to why people seem so desperate for him to play when we have seen very little of him in competitive games.

and in the time he has played he has set 2 goals up

Totally agree and Zemamma gets in my team before Galbraith at the moment. And i never understand that nosense about Deek either, of course he can play with someone else up front. Players of that quality always can.

"Left-back Paul Hanlon gallops from the halfway line to cut in and place a shot into the far corner. The keeper might have done better there..."

Anyone take the Pars in the next round :wink:

[Petrie's Tache]

He ran the show against east fife and he looked good against pars

Certainly did. He can IMHO be a very skillful player with a good eye for a pass. I think with Miller inside of him they have the potential to form a good understanding.

Whats wrong with a holding midfielder in McBride with Miller as the playmaker and Zemmama and Galbraith as the wide players?

[Lofarl]

well if you hear what their fans are signing it would shock even hunny hunderson of hunbridge

Because of what we have seen he would bring a needed balance to the team.

[hibbie02]

So you play who wide left?

I think the point is that we can' afford the luxury of wide left and wide right with our midfield. We have McBride and Miller as the ideal, but 2 in the middle keep getting overrun. We can't afford 2 wides.

2 for the Sheepies!!!

[Billychaotic182]

Hearts are out.

2-0

Live next ti aberdeen and the place is going nuts :D:D:D:D:D:D:thumbsup:

[Pretty Boy]

Does that not still leave us overrun in midfield though. 2 wide players who probably accept defending isn't their strong point.

Personally i'd have McBride the holding player, Wotherspoon right, Miller in the centre and Zemamma on the left but having something resembling a free role.

Oh 2-0 Aberdeen happy days:thumbsup:

He's a bad yin, that Hunny. Huntruthful, huntrustworthy, and hunderhand in all his fin-hun-cial trans-hunctions.

Over run by whom? Their opposite numbers? Most teams play a 4-4-2 therefore there is no hiding place as everyone has a man to mark in the midfield. As long as your wide men are prepared to track back it shouldn't be an issue!

I think the balance is fine to be honest particularly when mcbride plays. Results seem to show that. Performances wouldn't suddenly get better by swapping riordan with an out and out left winger.

I think we make too much of having four forward players. We do play a 442 and every manager so far has played riordan from the left wing.

Now we would get overrun.

But we haven't been playing 4-4-2. We have been struggling with 2 wide players. Even Irvine Meadow have shown this up. We were bossed in MF by the Yams and the Huns. It is the big weakness we have. All I am advocating is 4-4-2 with only one wide player and 2 up front. We can go left wide or right with our squad so we can even change things. It's no rocket science.

[matty_f]

Got through, that's the main thing.

Hope we get the Yams in the next round.

What's that?:greengrin

Does this make Sergey our back up plan if Calgary is unavailable??
