[PeeJay]

Stokes misses a great chance for them ... his nightmare continues!

[Sir David Gray]

Celtic hit the crossbar.

Then Riordan puts a volley over from 12 yards.

[HarpyHibby]

Commentator on Celtic tv just said Galbraith was english! Numpty

I thought he was?

[Sir David Gray]

Nope, born in Galashiels.

[Phil MaGlass]

Samaras waltzes through the defence(4of them)

[Nailrod]

Trakys is coming on, don't know who for yet.
Excellent. I'm sure he'll make a big impact with a minute to play..

[Judas Iscariot]

Struggling after changing formation...

Stephens - gives away an absolutely unnecessary corner!

[grunt]

Excellent. I'm sure he'll make a big impact with a minute to play..
Phillips scored for Blackpool with his first touch and within a minute of coming on.

[Judas Iscariot]

Stephens chests the ball out for a corner under NO pressure at all..

Robert Snodgrass off for leeds

[PeeJay]

Commentators tearing into Stephens, Murdo McLeod saying he looks so unfit.


There's a few that look "unfit" if you ask me!

[Sir David Gray]

Liam Miller has been poor as well, apparently. Always giving away possession.

[IWasThere2016]

Killie equaliser - we're up to 9th!

[Judas Iscariot]

Great defending from Hanlon

[grunt]

Oh well, sounds like we didn't do too bad?

[Sas_The_Hibby]

Killie equaliser - we're up to 9th!

I KNEW my expectations weren't unrealistic! :greengrin

[Billychaotic182]

There is a plus. We might have goal o the season

[PhoenixHibee]

That was a much better second half, especially after Riordan scored.

[IWasThere2016]

I KNEW my expectations weren't unrealistic! :greengrin

:thumbsup:

[Dalkeith]

Oh well, sounds like we didn't do too bad?

4 wins in 27 great

[erskine-hibby]

Not as bad a result as i thought it would be, but still another defeat....:boo hoo:

[Phil MaGlass]

Any bets Hughes comes out with "this could be the turning point for us" line.

[Godsahibby]

Pretty much bog standard, exactly the same as our last 2 league games, we were not bad we just didnt do anything, created very little.

Cracking goal by Riordan, not many players out there with that ability, a must for a new contract!

[blackpoolhibs]

A good performance Hibs unlucky lads. :thumbsup:

[Hibbie_Cameron]

We played ok. A stupid second goal to concede and its cost us in the end. Celtic did deserve to win though and had more chances

We played far better after they scored the 2nd imo and i thought we looked dangerous on the counter. Mainly because we cut out the back passes and played with a bit of tempo

From what i saw De Graaf looked to have played far better

[Judas Iscariot]

I was quite impressed with us for a big part of the 2nd half, until Hughes changed the shape and we started to toil..

No pumping as predicted and the pink poofters got ****ed at home so its not all bad..

Derek Riordan was outstanding again :agree:

Well done Yogi and the boys..

[Phil MaGlass]

I would like to add that at times our passing was great and at other times abysmal. Think this game just gave Hughes a wee bit more time?

[PeeJay]

Wonder what Levein thought of Riordan today - his goal was a brilliant piece of skill! Being highly praised by the "biased" Celtic Tv commentators, and rightly so!

You mean he didn't miss any open goals for a change? :wink:

I think this just might be .....

[tamig]

From what i saw De Graaf looked to have played far better

Agree 100% :agree:

[euro Hibby]

honest performance- bad second goal but did not really look like taking anything from the game. NIce message from to Harry potter......

[500miles]

Why the **** is DG playing on the right?

Basics FFS!!!

Makeshift fullback. Pace to run in behind as unnatural fullbacks are apt to do when forced into that position.

[Sas_The_Hibby]

I would like to add that at times our passing was great and at other times abysmal. Think this game just gave Hughes a wee bit more time?

No more than a week, with any luck........... :bitchy:

[Phil MaGlass]

I think this just might be .....

ah f,n hope so and for a change it was good to see hughes screaming his heid aff. A wee bit more aggression and passion is whats needed.

[Sas_The_Hibby]

Free scoring Scotland (e.g. against Liechtenstein) don't need any passengers like Riordan................... :rolleyes:

[500miles]

Wonder what Levein thought of Riordan today - his goal was a brilliant piece of skill! Being highly praised by the "biased" Celtic Tv commentators, and rightly so!

Shame he got greedy 4 minutes before, when he had no chance of scoring, with midfielders waiting for the pass. Everyone waiting for that pass then out of position, and we get hit with the goal to go 2-0 down. Wasted oppetunity and goal lost.

Aye, he proved Levein wrong all right.

[erskine-hibby]

ah f,n hope so and for a change it was good to see hughes screaming his heid aff. A wee bit more aggression and passion is whats needed.

We all hope for that...I still can't see it though.

[PeeJay]

There was nothing in this game to suggest we are anywhere near a turning point. Celtic's arrogance at expecting to score a barrowload was to our benefit. The 1st half we were truly awful - not 1 single shot on goal, no ideas, nothing. The second half we were better, but that's not really saying much.



St Johnstone must be looking forward to our visit.

[Sas_The_Hibby]

ah f,n hope so and for a change it was good to see hughes screaming his heid aff. A wee bit more aggression and passion is whats needed.

From the players, maybe, but not from Hughes - I'm afraid aggression and passion is ALL we've had from him and it ain't enough!

[PeeJay]

Aye, he proved Levein wrong all right.

Bit harsh I feel - by the time he had turned it was 50/50 as to what was the better option - and Deeks being Deeks...:greengrin

Levein's criticism was that he didn't work hard enough, not that he was greedy (as any good striker is). Deek showed today that he can be somewhat effective even on his own up front.

Aye, he proved Levein wrong all right.:rolleyes:

[Hibby 2005]

Only started playing when it was too late, why not play like that from the start?

Again baffling subs from Yogi, De Graaf was playing well where he should be, on the right wing, but got taken off and replaced by Galbraith, a left-footed player. Stephens, why? Tracky boy on for 5 mins?

If we play the way we played in the 2nd half when we're up against the likes of Hamilton, etc. then we'll be ok.

Yogi lives to fight another day I guess but I'm starting to get very tired of his sideline banter with the crowd before he eventually blows his top at all around him.

[Andy74]

Celtic are ripping everyone these days. Must be something in the tactics today to still be in the game up to the end of it???

[Phil MaGlass]

Wondered why Graaf was taken off masel, the guy was playing well, nivver mind Hibby 2005. yir still an

He said he didn't do enough defensively. Today, he gave away possession cheaply, resulting in 1. us missing out on a good chance and 2. them scoring. It was poor. Scoring cracking goals is great - but that turned out to be nothing more than a consolation. He didn't do it when it was most important.

[500miles]

De Graff was always going to have a better game today. Celtic give players more time and space - they aren't as gritty and in your face as smaller teams. The difference is, they are better at dealing with that.

[HibbyAndy]

Celtic are ripping everyone these days. Must be something in the tactics today to still be in the game up to the end of it???

Wouldnt say ripping everyone these days..1-0 at motherwell 2-1 at Killie, Altho you may mean the 3-0 gubbing against Hearts last week.

From what i seen today it was much improved, Passed the ball really well for large periods in the 2nd half, The players looked hungry and De Graff played well.

Defo positives to take from todays game tho.

[Hibby 2005]

Not as big an erse as I'm still here Yogi.

Sounds like you are determined to see the negative when it comes to Riordan. :rolleyes:

Awww FFS - are you for real :bitchy:

[Golden Bear]

Awww FFS - are you for real :bitchy:

I think he was doing a Craig Levein impersonation.

[500miles]

Sounds like you are determined to see the negative when it comes to Riordan. :rolleyes:

I don't need to sing his praises. He's a fantastic talent and there are plently people there to shout from the rooftops how good a player he is. A player with Derek Riordan's talent and awareness has no excuse - and it could have been the break that cost us the point today.

[hibiedude]

St Johnstone must be looking forward to our visit.

I watched a live link of the game and as you say 1st half was dire but as some say we improved 2nd half but lets be honest celtic took there foot of the gas after going 2 up.

[Golden Bear]

"Celtic are good at hitting you on the break"

Another Yogi gem.

:greengrin

Or maybe if the defence was half as good at defending as Deek is at scoring we wouldn't have conceded any.

[skipster7]

We played far better after they scored the 2nd imo and i thought we looked dangerous on the counter. Mainly because we cut out the back passes and played with a bit of tempo

From what i saw De Graaf looked to have played far better

imo second half was his best game for us,driving forward,crisp passing and good link ups with deek:agree:
