He may well balanced up the bias towards the Old Firm from referees, he is on good terms with the Men in Black.

Mon the HIbees.

[number9dream]

A bit disappointing not to see Galbraith and Byrne getting a chance from the bench, but you can understand the logic of keeping more senior players happy...

Hopefully, we can get two or three ahead by half time and bring on Gow, Stevenson & Benji - giving a few key men a breather.

My prediction: 5-0

[GlesgaeHibby]

Stack on the bench ahead of Mark Brown? :confused:

In Paris. Yogi gave him a week off. He's due back on monday.

Stack did nothing wrong when in goals for us, so seems a logical choice for the bench.

[CallumLaidlaw]

The save mcneil made from nish was outstanding but nish shouldve buried it it. Mcneil looked confident tho and any teams interested in him wouldve been impressed. Anyway, quarter finals here we come!!!!

[down-the-slope]

Just in from the game.

Decent game overall - althought we had parts where we did not keep the tempo up and got sloppy..particularly at 2-0 when we nearly let them back in to it.

Top marks to Rankin Hogg Hanlon and Spoony

Gow looked great for a player not getting his game...why would they loan him :rolleyes: wages? OK his fitness was not tested in the short time he was on but great composure to beat 2 a score from tight angle..also good passing

[NOLA]

And Riordan!!!

he's always getting credit:wink:

[J-C]

Couldn't manage the game today and internet wasn't allowing me to listen either, glad we scored a few and good to see Nish get a couple, onwards and upwards.:thumbsup:

[Andy74]

Hogg and hanlon were dominated by the big crap guy up front, otherwise, job done. Not brilliantly but done!

[jakedance]

A few observations -

Among a few good displays I'll pick out Hanlon as man of the match. I thought he had a great game. Composed, good positionally, strong and tidy distribution. He'll make that position his own in time.

Gow showed some good touches, he'll fit in well.

I think Wotherspoon is the best young player I've seen come through at Hibs. Week in week out he's one of the best players om the pitch. Probably should have got a goal today.

Andy McNeill had a good game and showed he should be playing at a higher level. I was pleased for him, he can be proud of his contribution to the game.

Our keeper has a squeeky voice and I like him. Safe as houses.

The guy half way down the East Terracing, probably about seat 35, who was shouting abuse at Colin Nish when we were 2-nil up, thanks to two goals from Nish - naw pal, your the one that's a disgrace.

A good game and a decent Hibs performance. I enjoyed it.

[Broken Gnome]

Hibs should realise that a lot of people have money on silly scores in these games. Wasteful gits.

Oh aye, McNeil's save from Deek's volley at the end :top marks

[jakedance]

....... one more thing. When Stokes went down under McNeill's challenge in the first half it looked an absolute stonewaller from where I was. Can anyone a little closer to the action comment?

[ancient hibee]

It was one of those incidents when it depends which team you support.

:agree:

[Malthibby]

Much more entertaining than the Irvine Meadow game, apart from twenty minutes either side of halftime.
Andy McNeil was excellent, but we also missed a few. Gow & Benji looked as if they could play together, & as already noted, being able to bring them on as subs along with Zemmama shows the depth we have up front. Hard to fit in Byrne & Galbraith; I hope Hughes can keep everyone happy.
GG

[Hibby Bairn]

Hogg and hanlon were dominated by the big crap guy up front, otherwise, job done. Not brilliantly but done!

Nonsense.

[bob12345]

Think a pen would have been harsh in Stokes incident. Well over hit and McNeil had just rushed out to make himself big. Really should have buried it anyway, as was the theme of our afternoon.

[The_Todd]

Nowhere near as convincing as the scoreline suggests, the combination of Hibs treating it like a training match and Montrose going for it made for some uncomfortable viewing at times. There were far too many passes going astray in midfield, going straight to a Montrose player on many occasions. I'm sure the pitch didn't help - what a state it's in!

Well done, job done and into the Quarter Finals we go.

[jakedance]

Nowhere near as convincing as the scoreline suggests

I think your being a bit harsh. BBC stats say we had 70% possession, 13 shots on target, 11 off target, 10 corners. We dominated that match and Andy McNeill saved Montrose from a proper doing.

[steakbake]

Sometimes, us Hibs fans are a ridiculously hard bunch to please. Okay, one or two passes went astray but the law of averages means that will happen, especially if our game pretty much all passing.

I thought we looked in control throughout, pretty safe at the back and I thought bringing on Gow, Zemamma and Benji was a revelation. I'd like to see them played midweek v Aberdeen.

I've gone hot and cold about Nish recently, but he scored a couple and didn't really need to go into 2nd gear, but he doesn't appear to have much strength. If Nish could hold the ball up a bit more than he does, I think he'd be the full package. Otherwise, I thought we did well. Another good win where we didn't appear to have to work as hard as against Irvine.

On the other team, I was glad to see Chris Hegarty scoring. Used to knock a ball about with him and his older brothers in the summer holidays when I was younger. Nice lads.

I thought we looked in control throughout, pretty safe at the back and I thought bringing on Gow, Zemamma and Benji was a revelation. I'd like to see them played midweek v Aberdeen.

I've gone hot and cold about Nish recently, but he scored a couple and didn't really need to go into 2nd gear, but he doesn't appear to have much strength. If Nish could hold the ball up a bit more than he does, I think he'd be the full package. Otherwise, I thought we did well. Another good win where we didn't appear to have to work as hard as against Irvine.

On the other team, I was glad to see Chris Hegarty scoring. Used to knock a ball about with him and his older brothers in the summer holidays when I was younger. Nice lads.

Good goal . the ref who was un-belielevibly poor through out booked him for his celebration.:bitchy: yes the letter of the law, but it was with and infront of his own fans...was a great goal..and they were the wee team at an SPL ground (no attempt to patronise here)

Glad that the ref got roundly booed for that from the Hibs fans :agree:

The ref made some strange decisions, but we can't blame him for that. The rules are very clear and leave no room for discussion, it's a bookable offence. I'm not saying it's right, but the ref doesn't have a choice in that matter.

I think your being a bit harsh. BBC stats say we had 70% possession, 13 shots on target, 11 off target, 10 corners. We dominated that match and Andy McNeill saved Montrose from a proper doing.

I'm hard to please :wink:

But, seriously despite what the stats say there were some times where it got a little uncomfortable. It wasn't just one or two passes that went astray, it was lots of them. But like I say, we strolled through it like a training match in the end.

Fair enough. I'm a glass half full kind of chap. I think Yogi would agree with you, he was going radge at times. I don't think he was happy with the Irvine Meadow game and wanted more goals today.

With games coming up v Dons and Rangers, what a fantastic bench to look to however if we are struggling in games............Gow, Zemamma and Benji ! Any team, SPL or otherwise, would surely be gutted when they see the quality that we can bring on to take points from games. Bamba will be rested, McBride gets more fitness and a wee breather today after being subbed, Riordan gets a goal and confidence, and Gow pushes for a place along with Benji. Galbraith, Cregg, Byrne, McCormack, Thicot all showing glimpses in games that they can come in too. Couldn't win whatever the result today, but the important stuff happens from Wednesday onwards, and 3 points v the Dons is a must to keep the confidence sky high.

Nish scored two, but missed two second half sitters from what I recall. He continues to be my least favourite Hibs player.
