Ah. Thought you'd caught news of another.

You're right enough - the way he's going someone'll see red before the end.

Just hope it's one or two of theirs and nobody of ours.

[heretoday]

Scotland gubbed by Italy at the egg chasing.

We've had injuries. I think we showed against Wales that we can hang together and go forward with purpose. It's sustaining it that's the problem.

Expect a cracker v England!

HMMM. :rolleyes:

[Hainan Hibs]

Game sounds a bit dull just now. Going a lot better than what I thought it would though.

[Hainan Hibs]

UTD 2-0 up against the Bairns

Stack's had a few dodgy kick outs so far. We've got away with it though.

[vahibbie]

FFS Stack couldnae clear his throat today. Hope it doesn't cost us

[PhoenixHibee]

Is there really nothing happening? No posts for a while it seems.

[IWasThere2016]

Atmosphere sounds poor - East no bouncing one last time? :dunno:

[KWJ]

I think the East sounds pretty good. Loads of different songs.

Good defending there by Deeks.

[Hainan Hibs]

Is there really nothing happening? No posts for a while it seems.

Really nothing happening, it's pretty dire.

[Hainan Hibs]

Think Yogi has put out a midfield to fight and get stuck in. Doesn't sound or look pretty however it's proving effective so far against St Johnstone.

[IWasThere2016]

I think the East sounds pretty good. Loads of different songs.

Good defending there by Deeks.

No gettin picked up on wireless ..

[vahibbie]

No gettin picked up on wireless ..

They're trying hard. Pity the games no actually very good.
Still making a lot more noise than usual....for this type of game.

[Hainan Hibs]

1 minute of injury time.

I'll be welcoming half time:greengrin

[Mikey_1875]

Nearly dozed off there. Will definately take more of the same though 2nd half providing we get the full 3.

[Hainan Hibs]

Half time update from my auld man at the game.

"The game is *****"


A wee insight there for us that are not at the game:greengrin

Nearly dozed off there. Will definately take more of the same though 2nd half providing we get the full 3.



Today the result is the ONLY thing. :agree:

[down-the-slope]

Great start - nish playing well
Saints playing a very direct game firing ball on top of full backs - mostly spoony - with one of their giants winning most headers
They are delideratly missing midfield and we arer getting dragged a bit down ti this level / style
Still ok when we pass but not doing it often enough
Spoony having ahard time defending but on several occasions has been free wide0 right going forward and no pass

It has started but you're no missing much.

[KWJ]

Bamba started brilliantly but has been a bit lucky with a couple of things particularly a first half jump on the doctor.

[--------]

It has started but you're no missing much.

Personally I'll be content if there are no further incidents of any interest for the rest of the game....

But then, I haven't paid good money to see it.

Agreed. 3 points are crucial today and I'm not too bothered how we get them.

But I do expect the return of Total Football sometime soon:grr::greengrin

The longer the game goes without another goal the more nervous we'll all get.

Got the bbc link but it 's not as good as listening to Hibs radio

[KWJ]

Long hopeful balls forward. nothing sticking.

Nice mazy by DW.

Never a foul by Miller.

[The_Horde]

Got the bbc link but it 's not as good as listening to Hibs radio

The commentary is a bit dramatic, makes it sound as though something's gonna happen every time any team gets anywhere near the opposition box.

[Moulin Yarns]

how is the pitch? has any of it been returfed?

[Hainan Hibs]

Nish lucky there. Already booked and throws the baw away. Luckily Ref was looking the other way.

[Hainan Hibs]

how is the pitch? has any of it been returfed?

6 yard boxes have been re-turfed.

[KerPlunk]

Who is the ref - sounds like he's a bit an inexperienced fud. :confused:

[vahibbie]

[KWJ]

Looked penaltyish to me.

[Hainan Hibs]

Motherwell go 1 nil up.

[KerPlunk]

Here we *****ing go......why do Hibs make a point of putting my blood pressure into the danger zone ? Do Yogi and Tacheman have a substantial shareholding in GlaxoSmithKline ?

[Hainan Hibs]

Hogg now booked.

What?

Half-four on Saturday, Hibs 1-0 up, and not a fingernail left in the house.



What changes?


And Hoggy makes 5 yellows....

Someone's gonnae walk.


AND Nish - missed him earlier - someone's gonnae walk.

[KerPlunk]

Riordan sounds like he's nowhere near as sharp as he used to be..........but he's still as greedy.

[Hainan Hibs]

Riordan goes round the keeper but the defender puts it out for a corner:boo hoo:

[KWJ]

good play , should have scored. went a bit too wide.

[KerPlunk]

What?

Is the ref the ******* son of Charlie Richmond, perchance ?

Nish with a good run then forgetting how to play football.

Come ON Hibs.....

Shocker. Bye bye third place.

[cabbageandribs1875]

earlier misses have cost us :agree: 3-0 arabs + motherwell winning

[Liam89]

Cya 3rd.. and nobody better say "knee jerk reaction"

[IWasThere2016]

Pish.

Booth scores for Arbroath .. 3-1 up

Arabs 3 up .. And above us ffs!

[hibeeleicester]

Callum Booth scored for Arbroath :agree:

[hibee92]

coupan bust on top of it :grr::grr::grr:

[_hucks_]

Cya 3rd.. and nobody better say "knee jerk reaction"

So we're going to be a few points off third with plenty games left to play including against dundee utd. We're in a slump, but theres plenty mileage left this season.

[Hainan Hibs]

If we're not beating bottom 6 sides at home we can say goodbye to 3rd.

People can come on and act like smart erses again and say it's been a great season and we shouldn't moan but we have been ****ing dreadful recently and if the team doesn't get their heid's out their backsides we could see ourselves drift out the European places.

[NOLA]

This years Bogey team:grr::grr:

[cabbageandribs1875]

will stack get the blame for the defence being at sixes + sevens now ?

St Johnstone knock a shot wide.

3 extra minutes.

[Jim44]

This years Bogey team:grr::grr:

I don't believe there's such a thing. It's all about desire and will to win. We've completely lost the plot recently and there's little sign of finding our way back.

[Liam89]

Nice ****ing nice thanks mr referee...

[Sylar]

Pressure on Hughes to get us out of this very VERY bad slump.

Piss poor and quite simply not good enough just now.

Motherwell 1-0 Killie FT
Dundee United 3-0 Falkirk FT

[KWJ]

can't believe he's not given that. ridiculuous.

[KerPlunk]

We sound pretty garbage at the back. Is there a communication difficulty between Bamba and the other guys ???

FT - pash. :bitchy:

Considering everything at stake today that was really not good enough.
:grr::grr:

[erskine-hibby]

Piss poor result and run, but my knees are just jerking of course:rolleyes:

[HibeeDaz6270]

Hibs cost me £450 today!!:grr:

[ScottB]

Only 3 points clear of Motherwell now also.

Sure you can say all day long how much better we are doing than last year. But also since January we have singularly undone everything the team achieved in the first half of the season.

The team MUST win asap, or a freefall beckons.

[vahibbie]

I don't believe there's such a thing. It's all about desire and will to win. We've completely lost the plot recently and there's little sign of finding our way back.

Me neither....and if any of the players even slightly think that, they need a good f'kn slap:agree:

[Hainan Hibs]

People can say we were great at the start of the season and it's such a turn a round from last season, but it counts for **** all if we throw it all away and finish outside the Europa League places.

[Jim44]

Piss poor result and run, but my knees are just jerking of course:rolleyes:

No knee jerking I'm afraid. A lucky win, a lucky draw, a bad defeat and a thumping from the promoted club tells us how poor we are. We have completely lost the winning mentality and I can honestly see us struggle to stay in the top six. :tin hat:

[heretoday]

A draw aganst a keen side. St Johnstone will not go down.

[IberianHibernian]

Poor performance and a point we didn`t deserve . Not a matter of a bogey team - at present St J are better than us - more organised, confident and determined . We missed some good chances in breakaways but so did they and our defence was flapping at every cross - did Murray pass to a teammate even once in the game ? Pity we didn`t hold out for win since I think we need a win for confidence . Fortunately our next 3 matches are against worse teams than St J.

[_hucks_]

If we're not beating bottom 6 sides at home we can say goodbye to 3rd.

People can come on and act like smart erses again and say it's been a great season and we shouldn't moan but we have been ****ing dreadful recently and if the team doesn't get their heid's out their backsides we could see ourselves drift out the European places.

I agree with your second paragraph. But there is an if in there, and we can't say that the team wont turn it around. We're still in a good position to challenge from, so lets see how it goes.

[Hainan Hibs]

Chick Young doing Your Call?

Could this day get any worse:bitchy:?

(Traynor is pish as well, but Chick Young:boo hoo:)

[HamiltonHibee]

Zemmama coming on.


I dont no why we bring that wee fud on when Mcbride got injured its too cold for him he can only play in summer, guy is a pu$$y proved against gers when boyd hit him didnt want to know, bring on someone to sit and hold midfield for 5 mins, surely that not too difficult

[KerPlunk]

You could try and do what I do and not listen to Radio Scotland at all:greengrin

[Bobo]

Just back, that was PAF, apart from the penalty we done nothing up front at all and seldom threatened!

If there is a softer team in the SPL I've yet to see them and if there is a poorer forward than Nish, since Ally Scott, i'll be surprised!

Time for Yogi to pull his heid out his arse 'cos that was yet another totally unacceptable, piss poor, performance with very little to cheer!

What happened to playing decent football on the deck?

[Hainan Hibs]

You could try and do what I do and not listen to Radio Scotland at all:greengrin

For some reason I can't turn it off. I think it's a case of self abuse:boo hoo::greengrin

[Jim44]

People can say we were great at the start of the season and it's such a turn a round from last season, but it counts for **** all if we throw it all away and finish outside the Europa League places.

I really don't see us getting 4th place. If we get to the cup final against Celtic or Rangers we are guaranteed a place or if we get knocked out before the final and the final is an Old Firm match, we could scrape 5th place.

[erskine-hibby]

For some reason I can't turn it off. I think it's a case of self abuse:boo hoo::greengrin

Like following Hibs:greengrin

[jamesjamieson]

Am I the only one who thinks Hibs are missing a leader on the park? I like Hogg as a player but he is no captain. It seems like the heads go down a bit too easily.

Queue the happy clappers who will now come on and say the same usual pi5h about, weve had a great season if we had been offered 4th at the beginning of the season Id have taken it, or the, look where we are sitting in the league,were 4th ffs blablablabla,whereas the rest of us have been saying weve been pi5h for weeks and are/were only 3rd through a lucky patch,if we go on like this we will be lucky to hold onto 5th by the end of the season,were lightweight and not mentally strong enough to compete.You wont win anything with bottlers or divers or guys not pulling their weight.Worst thing is I dont even have to mention players as you already know who I mean.

[Phil MaGlass]

Oh aye and we definitely miss a leader on the park,Hoggy doesnae have it Im afraid.He has had his chance and blew it big time the last few weeks.Gie it tae Murray or Miller.Yogi get yir boots on:greengrin

St J are ok. Hibs draw with them is not too bad.

[Phil MaGlass]

Aye they are pretty well organised,but we should be beating them,weve had more than half a season to get organised but still cannae beat St.J. Every team who play us now will be thinking they can beat us

This has been the case for the past few seasons. Every team in the league must have been baffled by our good start to the campaign but hey ho, groundhog day. If nothing else we are consistent in our inconsistency.:greengrin

I dont no why we bring that wee fud on when Mcbride got injured its too cold for him he can only play in summer, guy is a pu$$y proved against gers when boyd hit him didnt want to know, bring on someone to sit and hold midfield for 5 mins, surely that not too difficult
Charming! :bitchy:

So Yogi should have brought on a holding midfielder to defend a point against St J. at home??

[BEEJ]

A draw aganst a keen side. St Johnstone will not go down.

That's just clutching at straws I'm afraid.

I'm all for setting reasonable expectations; but to see two points dropped at home to St J as in some way acceptable is simply being in denial.

Great start - nish playing well
Saints playing a very direct game firing ball on top of full backs - mostly spoony - with one of their giants winning most headers
They are delideratly missing midfield and we arer getting dragged a bit down ti this level / style
Still ok when we pass but not doing it often enough
Spoony having ahard time defending but on several occasions has been free wide0 right going forward and no pass

spelling bad on my phone at ht there:rolleyes: freezing hands

saints kept playing the same way second half. i thought we got the ball forward a bit quicker and spoony had a couple of great runs which was more effective. we had enough chnces to get a result but as game got into last 15/20 mins aints started being even more direct and we looked like buckling - winning very few headers and second balls.

the ref was poor generally and from first view the saints player should have gone at penalty and their penalty athough hand ball looked as if it was hit against the palyer

The Good:

The atmosphere pre, during and post match. Singing and bouncing for a good 15 minutes after full time in the East.

The Bad:

Yogi not changing things when it badly needed it. We were toiling to keep our slim lead and things clearly weren't working as they were so to not make a sub until 80 minutes when we'd already lost our lead was baffling.

The Ugly:

Some of Nish's passing\striking\general play. I'm usually one of the first to stand up for the big man, but he had a stinker today. How on earth did he last 45 minutes, let alone the whole 90!

To be fair to Nish he got some absolute stinkers of bounces from the pitch. :greengrin

I know, as did everyone. The pitch is a mess, and is causing real problems for us right now. But he seemed to be miskicking much more than anyone else.

Give him a rest for a few games. He's a good squad member, but someone else should get a shot.

Miskicking as in completely missing the ball? Total howler, seen him looking around trying to find something to blame!

Nish was only kept on the pitch to try and combat the big guys of St Johnstone, we have such small players we are always going to struggle against team like St johnstone.
