Brilliant fighting spirit and atmosphere

[California-Hibs]

Firstly, what a brilliant 2nd half performance from Hibs. One of the best. Everysingle player on the park was immense, and when it came to bringing on the subs i felt for the guys coming off. Credit to Zemmama, Gow and Benji though, because they all, as they did against Montrose, changed the game.
I think one of the main reasons for the superb comeback was the atmospher that we created, you could just see the confidence that was coming through the players from it! :agree:

If someone had said before tonight that we'd be 15 above Hearts, and 4 above United, i'd have taken it.

Once again well played to the boys, i thought they were outstanding! :thumbsup:

ps: 2 defeats in our last 20 games! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Long suffering]

Yep fantastic fightback from the boys, Rankin was excellent.

I personally thought the atmosphere was dreadful, certainly in first half with the players getting a hard time, and then booed off pitch.....

Not a great deal of singing tonight, but great comeback all the same

Poor atmosphere first half, certainly but much much better in the second.

You're having a laugh right? Or were you sitting in a cludgie with earphones in?

Best atmosphere this season by a country mile, and even if that isnt too much of a challenge, it still was - especially in the second half - pretty good.

[Hainan Hibs]

East Stand should've been doing better.

And there we have the answer....

[Baldy Foghorn]

certainly could only improve after the first half when the home support was library esque

[Malthibby]

I couldn't hear the East for the racket coming from the West; the prawns were raining down.:greengrin
Thought the crowd got right behind the team in the second half. A good night bar the elusive winner.

[scotty1875]

I was in the South stand.

Could hear a pin drop in the home stands first half - apart from a few songs in the east until they scored - which mirrored the Hibs performance first half.

Agree that second half all the home sections got behind the team well.

Tonight was the first time in ages that the west stand sounded like the west stand of old:thumbsup:

[Hibee-Rocker]

Thats only my second game this season.. And if thats the best atmosphere thats there's been all season.. Then oh dear...

Not a great deal of singing tonight, but great comeback all the samealways with a slight dig eh? folk were getting annoyed at some silly mistakes in the first half and as for booing,surely that clown o' a ref had a bit part? The fans gave the team backing from first minute of the 2nd half,not bad I thought.

Not a dig at all, just stating how I saw it..... Try not to take it so personally

I am sorry but other than scoring the penalty Benji did nothing and Gow was a passenger other than the cross that led to the penalty.:confused: I forgot they were both on the park to be honest.

:agree::agree:

[Lmc2105]

I fought that the atmosphere in the 2nd half was fantastic and a believe helped the team to what i would say was a strong decent performance and gives me great confidence for going into Sunday

so all hibees gives yourselves a huge bit of credit for helping the team:notworthy::thumbsup:

[Jonnyboy]

Second half for atmosphere and comeback was like having the slope there again :wink:

Please don't take this the wrong way.....but are you deef ?!? :wink:

Yogi even goes out of his way to praise the supporters for getting right behind the team in his BBC interview :-

I find it bizarre that you thought the atmosphere was "dreadful". :confused:

Yep fantastic fightback from the boys, Rankin was excellent.

Yep, the keeper threw one in and we scored a penalty. Meanwhile, they hit the bar and missed an open goal.

Awesome!

Oh! and some people sang and shouted a bit.

Both subs that came on and contributed to the second goal, and you forgot they were on the park! My word,if you cant give them credit for helping us turn a defeat into a draw given the limited time on the park, what chance do they have?:rolleyes:

In the context of the OP they were below par IMO. So away and roll yer eyes elsewhere.

[Future17]

Good point. I blame the Hibs fans who only make it to 2 games in over half a season. :rolleyes:

Aye it,s much better when everybody shuts up and we get beat eh? People moan when we play well and there is no atmosphere.Well tonight we did,nt play well,but second half the team battered into it and the fans were louder than normal.No one said it was awesome, but if you want to be so negative and patronising, bash on.Par for the course for some.

They were subs that contributed to us getting something from the game, so dont be so petty. Oh and i,ll roll my eyes here if you dont mind.:rolleyes:

[bingo70]

Can't be arsed reading the whole thread but i had a mate from manchester at the game tonight who's always thought that scottish football was a lot of ****, after the first half he was trying to be polite and tell me he was enoying it when he clearly wasn't.............after the second half though the game was the ****ing bomb!

Well seeing as it's my first season without a book since 2005...

Maybe your lucky enough to have have a job that lets you support a family and afford a season book at the same time, unfortunately im not in such a position more...

2nd half was a good atmosphere, but best all season, even better than the Hearts game? Surley not

[Big90inOz]

There was some good singing in the early part of the1st half, went a bit quiet when Aberdeen got their 2nd. Thought the support was really up for it in the 2nd half and really helped to lift the team.

Must have been loud...... could hear it all the way to Oz :greengrin

Definately the loudest heard at Easter Road this season :agree:

:top marks to all the singers

[superbam]

Yep, the keeper threw one in and we scored a penalty. Meanwhile, they hit the bar and missed an open goal.

What a life-sapping post.

And we wonder why the atmosphere at easter road is pish....

[HFC 0-7]

First half was probably the quietest game so far this season, second half after we scored, for about 10 mins the atmosphere was probably the best, all 3 home stands joining in the singing! If only it would happen all the time!

So what you're saying is. other than changing the game... they did nothing to change the game?:confused::confused:

surely creating and scoring an equaliser had some effect on the game?

Well actually thats exactly what I'm saying. :greengrin
I have just watched it on Alba. They both touched the ball once before creating and scoring the equaliser in the 88th minute despite Bengi being on from the 72nd minute and Gow from the 76th minute.
They did get a couple of touches each in the last minute of injury time though so to say I forgot they were on the park in an earlier post is stop on. :greengrin
Look I am not trying to be negative here it is merely an observation.
To praise them the same as Zemmama doesnt seem right though. Just my opinion. Now where are my rollin eyes....................... oh there they are. :rolleyes:

[BoltonHibee]

I have been fairly negative about Hibs this season, in the games that I have attended or watched on the TV or Internet.

Got to say I thought, Hibs played pretty well yesterday, the 1st half also. OK lost two goals, 1 poorly defended and the other a bit of a freak goal. 2nd half we really went for it and laid seige at Aberdeen.

I also thought the atmosphere at the game was pretty decent, the best I have heard in a long time. Yes there was a chorus of boos at half time but that aside it was good. The 2nd half was cracking!

[basehibby]

Agreed - for the first half only though. When I was coming in I was going to ask someone what the minute's silence was for when the sheep fans struck up with a song and I realised the game had already started!
I dunno what it is with the Hibs support these days but there seems to be a collective apathy that pervades the place along the lines of "sing??? who me??? but that's everyone elses job!"
Things DID improve massively in the second half - moreso after Stokes scored and Zemama did his best to whip the East up into a frenzy - and the East duly obliged.

2nd half the team played so much better and that it turn gee'd up the fans.....

Is this a two way street, or should we as fans not generate an atmosphere even at 0-0??:confused:

We seem to only really get behind the team when we are doing well, or chasing games etc IMO

[HibeeHutch]

Let's just forget the first half as it really wasn't worth remembering - and that goes for the atmosphere as well.

The second half however was terrific. The work rate really was excelent and the crowd also played their part especially after we clawed the first goal back. Ian Murray was exemplorary.


John Rankin is still not what's required though.

Totally disagree with your last sentence. JR is another influential player for us.....
