Only team news I have just now is that Sunshine The Leith Lynx has made an appearance!

Oh and, the keepers warming up are Brown and Smith. On the basis of the warm up I'd say that Brown is playing.

[cabbageandribs1875]

chick dung says ER looks Phenomenal :greengrin

[Hibs Class]

View like I remember from the early 70s. Hope we get football to match!

[stokesmessiah]

chick dung says ER looks Phenomenal :greengrin

Watching it on Sky, but i have to say it looks outstanding and the pitch looks like a bowling green !!!!

[Mikey]

Sod the footy, let's have more music. So far we've had Oasis, The Jam, The Clash and The Sex Pistols!!

[Mikey]

The singers have sparked up in the east and it's sounding good.

[Wembley67]

7/1 stokes fgs, its got winner written all over it.

[JE89]

Deek up front. Good news. Come on the Hibs!

[ForeverHibs93]

Stokes & Deeks up front:thumbsup:

[Sandy]

Sounding good via the radio, commentators saying crowd of 15k, does that sound about right to those that can see ?

[cabbageandribs1875]

Watching it on Sky, but i have to say it looks outstanding and the pitch looks like a bowling green !!!!


it's almost a sin playing on it :greengrin

[IWasThere2016]

Mon the Hibees :thumbsup:

[hibsmum]

Keep updates coming some of us are at work:wink:

[CraigHibee]

the east stand is looking nice :)

pitch is looking amazing too :thumbsup:

[PhoenixHibee]

Hibs are passing quite nicely and finding the space. Not much penetration yet but holding the ball and looking comfortable.
Smoking pass from De Graff there.

[stokesmessiah]

The huns dont look up to much coming forward either.

[JE89]

Great pressing from Hibs all over the pitch. Need to keep that up 2nd half. Looking good though

[stokesmessiah]

Hogg seemingly intent on handing possesion back to Rangers on numerous occasions.

[Peevemor]

McGregor - cheating bassa! :grr::grr:

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

What a fud he is!

[CraigHibee]

allan mcgregor cheating ****!

[scott7_0(Prague)]

Mcgregor make lafferty look like a saint.... Cheating cant!

[PhoenixHibee]

Man it's like watching a real team again.
McGregor trying to get Riordan off, sad indeed.

[heidtheba]

That was bloody awful. Deek slid in and looked to check Macgregor was ok - hun fud then makes a meal of it and wtf was the hand on the head like he'd been shot thing?
fanny
total fanny:grr:

[steakbake]

It's turning into a tasty encounter.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

first chance for rangers, cleared off line by bamba, defensive mistake by Hibs

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

real dispute now, lafferty has gone in with a crazy challenge

[cabbageandribs1875]

lafferty is a freakazoid:agree:

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

lafferty straight red, mcbride red too

[Peevemor]

McBride sent off for kicking the ball? :wtf:

[PhoenixHibee]

How that's a red card for McBride is unbelievable. Ref made a mess of that, totally wrong.
Commentator saying quite right as you can't kick the ball at the player like that. The ball was in open play.

[scott7_0(Prague)]

Mcbride done for playing the ball, here was me thinking that's what he paid to do???

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Why the **** was McBride sent off - what a ****in shambles from the ref!

[LHWM]

McGregor and Lafferty are disgraceful.

[Peevemor]

Poor, poor display by the officials. :bitchy:

[Bristolhibby]

McBride sent off for kicking the ball? :wtf:

Ref bottled that. How do you get sent off for kicking a ball? If I drill the ball at the wall, will I get sent off?

J

[CraigHibee]

McGregor and Lafferty are disgraceful.

:top marks

pair of tramps that they are!

[vahibbie]

Mcbride done for playing the ball, here was me thinking that's what he paid to do???

Wish he had kicked it harder.

******in hate the HUNS.

[MSK]

Come on hibs get intae those cheating hun *******s !!!!:grr:

[PeeJay]

McBride sent off for kicking the ball? :wtf:
A yellow would have been enough! I don't think kicking the ball at somene is OK after the ref has blown - but a red is plain stupid.!:grr: Bigger loss to us than them as Lafferty was playing cxxx anyway.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Be interesting to find out what offence McBride committed.

[CraigHibee]

mcbride sending off was poor! booking maybe? at the very most which i would find harsh as well!

the huns dont like the fact that we are in about them, they have maybe created 1, 2 chances at the most, they are there for the taking!

[heidtheba]

This is a travesty of a game - never seen such an appalling ref. Dont think we should have any cards and they should have 2 off
lafferty and macgregor total fannies
ref - backbone of an amoeba
wife has now left the house to seek refuge of tesco cos im doin my nut
:grr:

[broonie27]

ref totally bottled it. couldn't face sending off just Lafferty. did the same with the Riordan vs Mcgeogor incident. Pathetic but not surprised in the least.

:grr:

[cabbageandribs1875]

mcgregor is a CHEAT murdo mcleod confirmed a disgrace and a cheat :agree:

[norhfc]

aye,ref bottled it......get into these tramps.theyve lost it ! :thumbsup:

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

The ref has made a **** of this game - booking Riordan for nothing and sending off McBride for **** all. It's always the same when we play they Hun bassas! :grr::grr:

[FromTheCapital]

What a joke of a decision ! Got one right but as always the ref sends a Hibs player off, Shocking Desicion !

McBride should have been booked - So should Weir for strangling Miller during the outburst which I'm not sure if anyone else seen but.......

Lafferty is a total ****.

Oh, & McGregor is an absolute W*****.

Come on Hibs lets get into these Dirty, Weegie, Huns Bassas and keep the 3 points at Easter Road - GGTTH ! :agree:

[hibiedude]

Hibs have been passing well first half
but these cheating Huns *******s are a disgrace

let's pump them 2nd half

[scott7_0(Prague)]

No way a red for mcbride. He defo did not mean to hit laugherteee as he passing is that bad and he is not that accurate :-)

Ref bottled it!

[JE89]

McGregor deserves a 3 match ban. McBride should have been booked. I hate the Hun's so much.

[Scorrie]

McGregor and lafferty remind me why I hate the Huns. Great punt from McBride aff Lafferty's heid tho...:greengrin

[steakbake]

Richard Gordon and others going mental at McGregor's play acting: "an absolute disgrace", "an embarrassment".

[blairwallace]

Mcbride got sent off for "violet conduct", utter joke.

[hibsmum]

When does the dodgy penalty get given?

[PeeJay]

The ref has made a **** of this game - booking Riordan for nothing and sending off McBride for **** all. It's always the same when we play they Hun bassas! :grr::grr:

To me it looked like a fair attempt by Deeks to get an open ball, and he certainly didn't go through on McGregor, he pulled back (IMO) so he had no reason to complain. His playacting is worse than anything McBride may have done.

[CraigHibee]

When does the dodgy penalty get given?


about the 88th minute id say!

[scott7_0(Prague)]

Kicking the ball is now deemed violent conduct... Jesus.

Can anyone confirm if the whistle had blown before mcbride tried to lob mcgregor from the half way line?

[steakbake]

When does the dodgy penalty get given?

Later... have you not received your copy of the script? It's page 47, around the 85-89 minute mark, especially if it's a draw.

[Peevemor]

Hopefully Brines is watching the replays of his cock-ups at half time and will calm his jets as far as Hibs go in the second half.

[Sandy]

Even Chick Young is saying McGregor is a cheat :grr:

[FromTheCapital]

I f*****g hate those Huns *******s. This make me want us to pump them even more - Come on Hibs - GGTTH !

[No.4]

Have to say I'm delighted with the first half.. other than the ref's decision making of course!

Team are playing with a real determination, holding a good shape, closing the ball down well and looking likeliest to score. Just a wee bit more penetration up front and we could get a couple here!

Come on the cabbage!!:notworthy:

[PhoenixHibee]

Do we go one up front now? Because that's probably what Rangers will do. De Graff into middle, Wotherspoon on right, and Riordan back to left.

[Ernie Cobra]

i ****ING HATE THOSE SMELLY *******S....SCOTLANDS SHAME INDEED....

MON THE HIBS.....TIOCFAIDH AR LA

[HH81]

Rankgers are there for the taking. Lets get into them :agree:

Think the ref wanted to be center stage today :grr:

[stokesmessiah]

Do we go one up front now? Because that's probably what Rangers will do. De Graff into middle, Wotherspoon on right, and Riordan back to left.

Looks like that right now

[thebakerboy]

What is everyone upset and surprised at we are playing the Huns and doing quite well I am only surprised Deek didn't get red and Lafferty did , whether they were well deserved or not does not come into it .We are playing the Huns and they will get there goal later if they need either a 89th min. pen or in 15th min of injury time if it is required for them to win or draw.:grr::grr::grr:

[CropleyWasGod]

i ****ING HATE THOSE SMELLY *******S....SCOTLANDS SHAME INDEED....

MON THE HIBS.....TIOCFAIDH AR LA

I assume you mean in the Scottish Cup?

[Peevemor]

"The first goal's going to be vital I would think"

Thanks for the insight Ally. :rolleyes:

[PhoenixHibee]

Off goes Riordan, Galbraith on.

[FromTheCapital]

10. Derek Riordan off for 22. Danny Galbraith

[CraigHibee]

arrrggghhh just hope deeks injury isnt too severe

[thebakerboy]

Whats up with Yogi today Deeks going off and Galbraith on not Nish , has he been reading Hibs.net this last week or so?????????

[PhoenixHibee]

Nice cross from Hart, Stokes had a chance there.

[James.]

Great run from Galbraith - good challenge though.

[PhoenixHibee]

Brilliant play from Hibs there, Hart in again and Galbraith puts it past McGregor De Graff misses.

[CraigHibee]

arggghh so close!!!


c'mon the cabbage!!

[vahibbie]

FFS...how did ye miss that:grr:

[Hibrandenburg]

What a sitter :grr:

[Peevemor]

How can it be a miss when the ball was cut out before it reached him?

[hibiedude]

We should have been 1 up

[Hibrandenburg]

How can it be a miss when the ball was cut out before it reached him?

He was ball watching and waiting for it to land at his feet

[steakbake]

"Calamitous defending by Hogg..."

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Tramps!

[PhoenixHibee]

0-1 Miller

[CraigHibee]

****!!!

[vahibbie]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK
******* HUNS:grr:

[Hibrandenburg]

Shock, horror, surprise.

[Liam89]

****ing ridiculous cheating hun bassas:grr:

[vahibbie]

How can it be a miss when the ball was cut out before it reached him?
Christ, I could have scored that.

[teabag]

Unlucky with deflections but Brown really has to push that round the post

[JE89]

Goalkeeping error for me. Should have pushed that out for a corner

[hibiedude]

Let's get stuck in to those cheating Huns

[PhoenixHibee]

Crap shot, lucky break and in. Hard to see how we are behind.

[Peevemor]

Goalkeeping error for me. Should have pushed that out for a corner

:agree:

[Davy Mac]

A shot going nowhere with three lucky breaks, unbelievable they are so jammy.

It never fails to amaze me, they do **** all and get the goal.

Didn't deserve that....

[UTM Hibby]

Unlucky with deflections but Brown really has to push that round the post

Totally agree - should have been out for a corner!

[James.]

:rolleyes: Unfortunately what happens against the Huns if you don't take your chances when on top.

Oh goody here's fan favourites Colin Nish and John Rankin.

[SlickShoes]

Thats nish on, game over.

[CraigHibee]

now hart injured :grr:

[Liam89]

i hate miller

[JE89]

Game over

[scott7_0(Prague)]

How anyone can blame brown is beyond me, people automatically just point at the keeper these days. Christ he was going the other way and did well to get across to get any sort of touch on it. What about the marking for the hun who crossed it?

[SlickShoes]

ripped to bits, hideous.

[CraigHibee]

miller again...... :grr:

[PhoenixHibee]

Defending not nearly good enough here.

[steakbake]

Game over - back to work for me.

[SlickShoes]

and im sorry but HOGG is ****ing garbage.

[Hibrandenburg]

A shot going nowhere with three lucky breaks, unbelievable they are so jammy.

It never fails to amaze me, they do **** all and get the goal.

Didn't deserve that....

Jammy has got faff all to do with it. They're a bunch of cheating bassas with the ref in their pocket. Rangers should be down to 9 men and Hibs couldn't hit a barn door from five paces.

[PhoenixHibee]

Seems like a right boot in the teeth to be 2-0 down, we have played quite well, totally disrupted the shape with 1 up front, looked comfortable going into the future with the 4-4-2.

[JE89]

Can't quote on phone. Scott in Prague - he had got himself to the ball so definately an error not turning it beyond the post. That is bread and butter for a goalkeeper.

[Gus Fring]

Dunno how hogg gets a game sometimes, let alone is captain!

[Forza Fred]

For 60 minutes I thoughtt we could have won it, then, we surrendered the initiative.

0-2 now and I've left the telly as it is too painful to watch anymore.

Not balaming any individuals, but I thought that the Rangers team on the park today iwasone of the weakest I have seen, and it is worrying to think that we can't beat them.

We seemed to run out of ideas in the last third, and well, its goodnight from me.

[Davy Mac]

Nae winning mentality, they get bullied on the park every season.

Utter crap.

[hibsmum]

Seems to have changed when Riordan went off:boo hoo:

[Hibrandenburg]

Ref is shocking. :grr:

[BEEJ]

Crowd announced as 17,145.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Bougherra yellow, McBride red - please explain!

[CraigHibee]

Seems to have changed when Riordan went off:boo hoo:

:agree:

dont think it helped either with hart going off, thought he was having a decent match

[Hibrandenburg]

Bougherra yellow, McBride red - please explain!

Bougherra-Hun McBride-Cabbage easy!

[James.]

Crowd announced as 17,145.

Not bad at all. :top marks

[PhoenixHibee]

Great save from Mark Brown, free header.

[Peevemor]

Good reaction save from Brown.

[vahibbie]

Look how much trouble a guy with pace causes.

We need one:grr:

[stokesmessiah]

On a positive note.....Despite not pushing it round the post, which in all honesty i dont entirely blame him for as it took a deflection, i think Brown has looked ok today.

[thebakerboy]

Bougherra-Hun McBride-Cabbage easy!

Was about to make same point:grr::grr::grr:

[Storar]

Nae winning mentality, they get bullied on the park every season.

Utter crap.

You summed up your post pretty well here.

Before we lost 3 of our better players we were looking the better team. We were keeping the ball, looked clam under pressure and had all the shots on goal.

The only difference in todays game is that after the red cards Rangers could bring on a player like Weiss where we were forced into bringing on Rankin and Nish. They have the strength in depth that we don't have and thats why they're champions.

I'm not Yogi's biggest fan but I think we've been a bit unlucky today and I think theres some hope we can have a decent season if we can become really comfortable with this passing game and keep our best players fit

[PhoenixHibee]

Nice try from Stokes, needed a little more strength is all. One up front doesn't suit our personnel at all.

[Peevemor]

:agree:

[hibsmum]

1st half sounded really good with Hibs playing well, 2nd half mmm....

[PhoenixHibee]

I think so too but defending in the middle has to improve. I thought Hart looked good, still looking dodgy at any type of cross.

Well said that man.

[MWHIBBIES]

Miller is a fud:grr:

[PhoenixHibee]

Hardly finished typing then look at that for defending.:boo hoo:

[vahibbie]

******ers......I loath Rangers:grr:

[JE89]

At least the match ball he is taking home has a Hibs badge on it. Little prick

[PhoenixHibee]

Never would have guessed that watching the first half.
Everything changed with the shape change.
Hibs can be good this season.

[Kato]

If we waken up.

I thought we lacked a bit snap and anticipation in every area of the park. Typified by the miss in front of goal.

Still lack shape when passing forward.

Saying that we were beaten by the team who wanted to cheat the most.

[cjward2]

game of two halves really. Think hibs have a lot to offer this season, and will just chalk this up to better, more clinical finishing from rangers. We just need more of a punch up thetop end of the park, our midfield and defence generally did not too badly, apart from a couple of slack howlers against some switched on forward players in blue.

better luck next time.
