We really are not looking forward to this replay.

Think even the most positive of Hibs fans will admit we really have not done ourselves any favours. Thats not to say its all doom and gloom.

I wasn't at the game today, but from most people's reaction and the BBC website, we can count ourselves lucky to be in a replay.

How has this team got soooo bad recently? What's going wrong?

We really should be out the cup, very lucky. Can't see us winning up there at all tbh.

I doubt we will go thru, chance gone.

I predict a comprehensive loss of 3-0. Hibs are in free-fall in terms of passion, commitment and tactical know how. Confidence has been shattered by a succession of poor results and performances, broken by a 1-0 solitary victory against a poor Kilmarnock. It's deja vu when it comes to watching Hibs - an all too familiar story. I look forward now to seeing a completed stadium, so it's not all bad news. Hopefully by then we will have resolved playing staff issues.

Most posters are postulating we have no chance in the replay in Dingwall and while i tend to agree,the last time i felt this way was away to the yams at the tail end of last season where we ran out quite comfortable winners so maybe if we all keep up the doommongering we might get a wee surprise on the 23rd,fingers crossed.:greengrin

Hibs are a complete and utter shambles at the moment. The pitch, the team, the East stand, the management. Todays "performance" was as bad as anything I've seen since the Blobby or even Sauzee days. In this latest Cup run, we've been handed the easiest draw I can ever recall, and still we contrive to cock it up. Little wonder so few decided to attend today - cup quarterfinal at ER against lower league opp and we could fill 3 stands - pathetic.

Positives - we're in the hat for the semis. From a selfish point of view I wouldn't have made the Dundee Utd game on the 24th now I will make the rearranged match. But it's gonna be one hell of a battle to make Hampden next month, I'm not sure we have what it takes to win up there, but at least we still have the chance to do so.

Sums up how poor a team Hibs have become that we're all regarding a trip to play Ross bleedin' County (who weren't even a league side until a few years ago) as the equivalent of a trip to the Nou Camp. It was fair enough being a bit fearful of going into a derby with a weak team but to be this pessimistic about a trip to Dingwall is desperately sad.

I agree the team is a shambles, the management lacking, the pitch pathetic, but the poor wee east stand does not come into the equation. I look forward to its completion. It will look impressive to the players running out the tunnel. BTW I didn't go to todays game as it would have left me all but skint til the end of the month. It was a last minute decision. All I can say is Phew! I made the right call.

I recall Inverness Caley being in the same boat and seen in the same light, and look at our pathetic record up there. Hibs simply don't like travelling up to the north west. it brings out the collective worst. I predict a 3-0 defeat. it's deja vu, its all too predictable..it's......well....it's Hibs.

I'd almost fancy us away from home now that they've had a reality check.
Hibs have started these three cup ties pathetically to be honest; Irvine Meadow and Montrose both missed sitters in the first five minutes, Ross County should've converted their free header in the same period. The first two teams were too weak to truly threaten us, but it's been almost textbook stuff in how not to deal with a lower league side - we've given them all every encouragement.

Ditch the half-arsed approach, go up there and put out a side that is capable of dictating a game without leaving wide open spaces that gives an opponent every hope that their chances will come. Most importantly, man the **** up. Apathetic fannying about nearly put us out the cup today and the same again WILL put us out the cup next week. Learn the lessons, show and bit of guts and do yourselves justice for once.

As I've said before it's the 'ah well that's Hibs for you' attitude that is a major reason the club does not have as much success as it should. Too many fans just accept that 'we are crap up north' rather than make the club aware that such a state of affairs is unacceptable, not to mention embarrassing. It is pathetic that we fear such games. I dearly hope I'm wrong and we pull of a win in the replay but nothing I've seen from the current side has shown me they have the spine for such a game.

After nearly 50 years of watching Hibs, I have every right to resign myself to a typical Hibs result, but the players, who are half of my age have no right to go to places like Dingwall, or Inverness Caley and give up before a ball's been kicked.

How on earth do you get to Dingwall? Looks like an 8 hour round trip at least.

Really in two minds about this one. It will be brilliant if Hibs win and we've made the effort to go up but a defeat will be absolute misery and, at the moment, a defeat seems likely.

Going to have to stay a night at least and if Hibs get beat I can't see me ever putting in the effort in again to go to awkward away games.

What's the general consensus and when's the game likely to take place. I love the games where the pure hardcore are there but jesus this is pushing it.

Port Seton to Dingwall is clocking in at 3hrs 38 according to Google.

Hoping we can tan it up the A90 and do it in just over 3.

Got to Cairngorm in 2hrs 35 last week so hopefully more of the same.

:agree::agree::agree: I was recently ripped apart for ott pessimism and I honestly bucked up my positivity to the extent that I thought the general pessimism and trepidation about today's game was ridiculous and I fancied us to win at a canter today. I was beginning to think the talk of defeat might be a smokescreen of false modesty at first but results and performances don't lie...................we really are a seriously ordinary team. Ironically, I think we'll probably go up there with a 50-50 chance and probably pull it off. Having said that, I think any more progress beyond the semis is highly unlikely - we certainly couldn't give Rantic a game just now. In the league, if we don't pull the finger out pronto, we're looking at 5th at best in which case a cup final of Rangers v Celtic could be our only hope of hanging on to a Europa League place.

I don't know about your 3-0 prediction but I would agree with everything else you've said.

I sincerely hope I am wrong but I would be very surprised if we won up there. They fully deserved to take us up there for the replay and they were unlucky that they didn't win today.

We are in free fall at the moment and there's not much sign of things turning around to be honest. I know we have two games in hand over them but that's us now in 5th place after Motherwell won again this afternoon when, just over a month ago, we were 4 points clear of Dundee Utd and 9 points ahead of Motherwell with a game in hand over both of them.

I know this is a doom and gloom post but it's just so typically Hibs and it's extremely frustrating.

No way you'll get a train back to Edinburgh (?) at that time. Best thing to do is book a wee holiday and head up north for a few days. Great place for a break. Treat the game as just a part of the trip rather than the whole point of it and then the misery of defeat won't seem quite so bad. Take it from me as one who has done the Inverness and back on a midweek night, you don't want to do that unless a win could somehow be guaranteed!

Midweek game, team going for promotion to SPL, small ground (5800), biggest game in their history.............don't know what age you are but if you think ANY team would relish a trip up there with a semi at stake then yer kidding yourself on. I notice you use the Nou Camp as an example, well Mag were not bloody Barcelona either!

We'll need every player on his game and willing to fight for every ball. Sure as hell Ross Counties players will be! Like many say, weve blown the easiest draw in memory. Win today and we'd have had the wide open spaces of Hampden to play on and be a game away from the final. Instead we've got a fight on our hands with players who our manager reckons don't have the bottle for it. I sure as hell hope they prove us wrong and if they do it will be one of the best results I've seen in 35 years.

This is a head vs heart situation. I actually had a sneaking feeling we'd get beaten today....I only hope that the fact that we clearly got out of jail is enough to fire the players up enough to steamroller the Staggies...

At the moment, I could see it being 1-1 and going to extra time and maybe even penalties - that's after viewing the game today and thinking about the performance of both sides.

I think there's a lot of work to be done.

Despite today's performance I agree with you. They were suspect defensively all game. However much will depend on how our manager sets us up for the game.

You might be right. At least we are still in the cup.

I left Easter Road today not sad and frustrated but thinking thank god we drew 2-2 and we have another game in which to try and qualify. As soon as they equalised at 2-2 I thought they would definitely get a third without reply.

We were pretty poor today and the players will certainly be aware of that fact and know that they have to do a lot better up at Ross County. I think they will.

Fingers crossed.

:notworthy:

P.S. To all you moaning face gits I had to endure in the South Stand today...get a grip and get behind the team rather than shout abuse. Shouting abuse and booing our own players only helps the opposition.

I was there today and we could quite easily beat Ross County in the replay. We could have beaten them today with more composure and a linesman who allowed Deek to continue when he wasn't offside.

The Airdrie game was the end of Tommy McIntyre's stint as Hibs penalty taker. John Martin was the first keeper to dive the right way, which was all it took to save a McIntyre penalty, all of which were very casually hit along the ground. If he'd put us 1-0 up that day we'd have been well on our way to a second cup final of the season. Shouldn't be too hard on Tommy tho, as he did score one in the Skol Cup final plus one in the new year derby at Tynecastle.

just had a look at trains, this seems to be the best one for going - 1335 - edinburgh to inverness (arrive 17.05) inverness - dingwall (leaving 17.15, arriving 17.46) but as said before looks like the last train is 19.41 (maybe a tad to early even for the early leavers) :wink:........ £12.10 for a single

I was there today and we could quite easily beat Ross County in the replay. We could have beaten them today with more composure and a linesman who allowed Deek to continue when he wasn't offside.

Some of the posters on here would have topped themselves after cup results in years gone by. Clydebank 1-0 or Airdrie 0-2 off the top of my head.:agree:we had bad luck with Deek ,given offside and bad luck with Nishie trying to lob one in,and extremely bad luck with our goalie doing a great block,only for the ba' to bounce in off Nid's chest just as he tried to avoid trampeling over the goalie. the good luck came much later,as Nid cleared off the line to keep us in the cup.so ,if we get mair of the guid than the bad,coupled with more effort from a few that let themselves down,i'm sure we can go through yo the semi. by christ,ah need another drink:yawn:

We will know who RC or Hibs are getting in the next round so chill.

That will be the incentive

It wont be RR so if we get through we better be prepared to face the Huns at Hamdump cos thats the way it will pan out.

You can travel by train and stay overnight in Inverness. Train up as advised above. (£12.10 single) The last train to Inverness from Dingwall is at 22.54 (£5 single). Even if it goes e/t and penalties, the latest the game should finish is 22.30 (assuming 7.45 k/o).

Or, alternatively to the ticket prices above, get singles from Edinburgh to Inverness, and a £7.80 day return from Inverness to Dingwall.

Nearly 3 hours from Aberdeen. Think a wee over-nighter is in order.

Anyone know the Dingwall hot spots to hit after the game? :greengrin

How big is their stadium? Will it be all ticket?

Holds about 6,000 and I would have thought that it would be all ticket, given that it is a big game for them (first time they've got this far in the Cup). Hibs will definitely get the open terracing behind one goal, which holds several hundred (guess-timate). Hibs *may* ask for a bit of the main stand, which would give another few hundred.

I'm normally quite positive in such situations, but I can't see Hibs winning the replay. If Ross County replicate that form in front of their home supporters, they won't have much to worry about.

I can't see us getting to grips with the midfield and producing the kind of motivated, disciplined and classy display needed to see them off.

It could be a long and painful night for us, methinks.

We escaped with a draw at home by literally the width of Ian Murray's shin. We were pathetically second to every single ball in the 2nd half, and our central midfield duo might as well have been wearing clown shoes and smoking fat Cubans for all the influence they exerted.

Short of an absolutely miraculous turnaround in attitude and application from 80% (Hanlon, Stokes and Murray excepted) between now and then, we'll get turfed out of the cup up in Dingwall.

Sorry to disagree, Stokes wasn't interested in helping the team yesterday.

All he did was run central in the hope of getting a chance. No help to the midfield or, more importantly, Wotherspoon.

Nish was far more influencial for us. He was Hibs best player, imo.

Yep, I think it will sell out with about 5,700 supporting Ross County. A tight wee ground with a boisterous crowd right up for it. Do the current Hibs team have the bottle to handle it? Hard to believe they do. And based on the alarming holes in our defence yesterday we could be looking at another 5-1 Perth-style humiliation if we lose an early goal.

On the other hand it's a chance for the players to surprise us and show they do have the bottle for a battle. Could be the making of them. Here's hoping, but I'm not remotely confident.

A. Pedant reports - influential. :greengrin I know what you meant though. With the ball on the deck Nish showed some great link-up touches.

He still wins a pathetically small percentage of balls in the air for someone of his height, and I think the problem stems from the fact that he insists on jumping far, far too early, and is therefore on the way down when the ball actually arrives.

We all know Dirk Lehmann was the only footballer with the ability to temporarily suspend the laws of gravity, and Isaac Newton's great discovery should be explained to Nish pronto, because this new found "och the pitch is rubbish, let's just punt it" tactic needs him to hold it up, not have the ball coming back at us every 10 seconds.

So yeh, Nish is added to the list of acceptable performers on appeal.

A team of individuals who look like they have been thrown together last minute. No leaders on the park. Ross County to win comfortably. The basics of football seem to have left the side, and we look slow, dithery, scared to tackle, and have next to zero pace or width. All a team needs to do to beat Hibs is harry, chase and pump balls over the top of the central defence.............then cue kamikaze defending, the likes of which I have only seen at my lad's Under 12's games. We are as well playing a wheelie bin in place of Hogg..........the wheelie bin would have more pace and would be able to turn quicker. How I miss the likes of Laursen, Sauzee, Hughes and Smith......the last balanced, toughened and skilful defence we have had, with each one being a leader. Yesterday was like watching an old episode of Michael Bentine's Potty Time.

I listened on the radio and saw the highlights - they are certainly NOT better than us. It was a cup game, their "final" - wee teams always rise above their level when playing big teams - that's the magic of the cup. It's happened to much better teams than the current Hibs team. We shouldn't be so surprised and so negative about the game or its outcome, annoying though it may be. We had enough chances to sew up the game - we didn't, we paid the price BUT we're still in the cup. They had their chance: they didn't take it: ball is in our court. We'll go through I think, I've faith in the lads! :thumbsup:

I can't agree with that.

There were two teams out there yesterday: one which was passing the ball about, getting into good attacking positions, threatening quite regularly and looked like they belonged in the upper reaches of the SPL. And then there was a team who couldn't string two passes together, looked like rabbits trapped in the headlights and were playing real backs to the wall stuff, scrambling balls away with last ditch defending.

Hibs were the latter and at no point in the 90 looked even like equals of Ross County. Played off the park.

I think you're both giving too much weight to what happened last. The first 80 minutes were a good open game which Hibs were just about shading. After the bad mistake(s) for the 2-2, Hibs completely fell apart and Ross County should have won the game then.

At no point in the 90, even at 2-1, did I think we were looking like going through. We were giving them the ball with alarming regularity and they kept pushing and plugging away. And it wasn't just Ross County, it was the same last week v Kilmarnock, the same the week before vs Saints.

But, to be fair if Ross County got promoted I don't think they'd get relegated.They're a better team than we're giving credit for.

A cup replay after a derby game is not ideal as we will be more tired than usual and if we lose against Hearts then our low confidence will be even lower and I would expect a very difficult game at County. On the flip side, beat Hearts and I'd be confident of us going through.

I know that hindsight is a wonderful thing but I said throughout the second half that we needed a third goal to settle things because I thought that the way Ross County were playing, they were more than capable of getting back in it. They maybe didn't have too many clear cut chances until they equalised with 10 minutes remaining but they were knocking the ball about comfortably and confidently and I thought they were the better side in that 45 minutes by quite some way.

I think we will struggle up there in the replay.

I predict a comprehensive loss of 3-0. Hibs are in free-fall in terms of passion, commitment and tactical know how. Confidence has been shattered by a succession of poor results and performances, broken by a 1-0 solitary victory against a poor Kilmarnock. It's deja vu when it comes to watching Hibs - an all too familiar story. I look forward now to seeing a completed stadium, so it's not all bad news. Hopefully by then we will have resolved playing staff issues.


I agree the team is a shambles, the management lacking, the pitch pathetic, but the poor wee east stand does not come into the equation. I look forward to its completion. It will look impressive to the players running out the tunnel. BTW I didn't go to todays game as it would have left me all but skint til the end of the month. It was a last minute decision. All I can say is Phew! I made the right call.


I recall Inverness Caley being in the same boat and seen in the same light, and look at our pathetic record up there. Hibs simply don't like travelling up to the north west. it brings out the collective worst. I predict a 3-0 defeat. it's deja vu, its all too predictable..it's......well....it's Hibs.

Noseyhibby, how the f*** do you leave the house in the morning?

Oh, and the bit in bold... :hmmm:



I know this is a doom and gloom post but it's just so typically Hibs and it's extremely frustrating.

Cheer up ffs.

Ross County are a better team than us and that is both TRUTHFUL and PAINFUL.

Oooft. The worst of the lot.

Ross County are a decent, hard-working 1st division side. They came to Easter Road for their biggest game of the season and raised their game. And still we should have won.

An unlucky OG, a goal disallowed incorrectly, another few chances that on another day would have seen us clear.

I wish everyone would get a ****ing grip. Do any of you want to win the Scottish Cup? Right, well get behind the team and stop pissing your pants like a bunch of wimps.

I'll tell you what's going to happen. We're going to the pink pig sty next weekend and we're proper pumping them. Then we're going up to Dingwall and booking our place in the Scottish Cup semis.

A cup replay after a derby game is not ideal as we will be more tired than usual and if we lose against Hearts then our low confidence will be even lower and I would expect a very difficult game at County. On the flip side, beat Hearts and I'd be confident of us going through.


Interesting to note that Ross County have a highland derby next weekend against Inverness Caley which is also a huge game for them since Caley have leapfrogged Ross County into 2nd place.

I agree with that. Most of the complaints centre on a lack of desire / effort / competitiveness by the players, but are crapping themselves at the thought of playing a Hearts team that Jefferies slaughtered in his post match comments yesterday (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/8566783.stm), and then a decent 1st division team in a cup replay. All this with the prospect of getting into Europe and / or progressing to the latter stages of that Cup if (God forbid) Hibs disappoint these moaners by winning.

Alternatively, confirm yourself on a Supporters bus and you get door to door travel with a refreshment stop thrown in.

As Lee says, we are going to work together on this as coaches wil be very expensive unless we can get them filled. We should be able to do it for around £15 a head .... full details on the Travel Forum but let us ken if you want to go, contact any bus convenor and we'll sort something out for you, relax & let the bus take the strain :thumbsup:

It would be nice if Hibs laid on some buses for the fans. It's the furthest away location in Scottish football on a Tuesday night. Not too many fans will be making the journey and the team will need all the support they can get, especially in the only competition we are still in.

If we got a Hampden Semi-Final out of it, it would far eclipse the cost of getting a few hundred fans up to Dingwall!

This is the main thing for me. I'm seriously considering driving there on my jack (as everyone I have spoken to wouldn't touch this with a barge pole) and helping out by cheering on the boys. It's four hours...big deal.

If we do prevail the rewards far outweigh the effort of getting up there and back. I'm by no means hardcore but I feel like I'm somehow needed because this will be tricky and we need to show face to help out and roar us to victory.

I don't think anyone who goes will go away dissapointed as I believe we will be up for it this time....and if we are we should win. Underdogs in cup ties normally only get one chance and I think they blew there's on Saturday. I think class will tell in the end.

I'd almost fancy us away from home now that they've had a reality check.
Hibs have started these three cup ties pathetically to be honest; Irvine Meadow and Montrose both missed sitters in the first five minutes, Ross County should've converted their free header in the same period. The first two teams were too weak to truly threaten us, but it's been almost textbook stuff in how not to deal with a lower league side - we've given them all every encouragement.

Ditch the half-arsed approach, go up there and put out a side that is capable of dictating a game without leaving wide open spaces that gives an opponent every hope that their chances will come. Most importantly, man the **** up. Apathetic fannying about nearly put us out the cup today and the same again WILL put us out the cup next week. Learn the lessons, show and bit of guts and do yourselves justice for once.

Spot on. I want you up there to do the team talk because that is exactly what Yogi needs to be saying - or shouting, right in thier faces - right before kick off. Its about time the players started to realise how important the Cup is.

I predict a comprehensive loss of 3-0. Hibs are in free-fall in terms of passion, commitment and tactical know how. Confidence has been shattered by a succession of poor results and performances, broken by a 1-0 solitary victory against a poor Kilmarnock. It's deja vu when it comes to watching Hibs - an all too familiar story. I look forward now to seeing a completed stadium, so it's not all bad news. Hopefully by then we will have resolved playing staff issues.

I'm normally a bright ray of sunshine and laughter regarding all things Hibs, but I'm inclined to agree. The scenario you outline is all too plausible. I can't see where the extra commitment, passion and tactic nous you speak off is coming from, on recent performances. Yet we do have a talent squad and we have to turn the corner soon, and the next couple of games would be the ideal time. All we can hope is that the players rediscover their passion and that Yogi addresses the problem of us being overrun in midfield.

The team are due the support the heads-up, passionate, skillful performance they are more than capable of. They'll need to deliver at Dingwal or we're out the cup.

Despite my prediction of losing 3-0, this is based on the way we are currently performing. Some posters are of the opinion that those of us who predict defeat want to see a defeat just so we can say yeh, told you so. this is so far removed from the truth. I have every much chance of getting this result right as predicting a 3-0 win. Hibs are actually capable of achieving a victory if they got their act together. Besides which, predicting is a lottery, and if anyone pays any real heed to it then they need their heads tested. My fingers like every other Hibbys will be firmly crossed on the 23rd. Oh, the joys and ups and downs of being a football supporter.
