Hibernian V Ayr Utd

[aussie_hibee]

It's cup day and my birthday so I've decided to start the thread for today's game.

Hopefully the snow doesn't affect the game and we get stuck in to this mob from butlins.

A great chance to get back to winning ways.

Come on the cabbage....!

Happy birthday! I'll think of you when I have my first pint in The Hibs Club in about 4 hours,
.
About this time of year Hibs played Ayr after winning the League Cup in 1972, it was the souvenir programme and I'm at the front of the fans photo on page 4 (I think). The score that day was 8 - 1 to the Hibees. Todays date is 8/1!
.
Glory glory!

Happy Birthday Aussie :thumbsup: Hope its a happy day for us too :thumbsup:

[Judas Iscariot]

Any team news?

I know Hart is struggling.. (Not only in general like but he's not trained all week)

[McKenzie]

happy birthday :thumbsup: read in the paper that Hanlon and Dickoh will start at CH today, bit of continuity at the back at least

[hibees59]

Happy bithday mate, let's hope the team make it 2 reasons to celebrate.:wink:

[Bayern Bru]

Hibby birthday Aussie, let's hope it's a day to remember for all of us!
Have a good one.

[GreenCastle]

Hart not playing - knee injury which kept him out derby..(not a huge loss)

Zoomer to start according to the Scotsman.. :thumbsup:

[hibs1989]

Hopefully see Byrne upfront after re-calling him. :greengrin:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin

Give CC chance to see him.

[JennaFletcher]

Is it usual cash turnstiles in operation today?

Seems a bit chilly, have to get my puffa jacket on :greengrin

Hope it's a worth while game!!

Well lets see what happens then.

[SaudiHibby]

Well lets see what happens then.

Exactly my point Dunbar. We should be confident going in to a match against Ayr United but how many of us are :rolleyes: I would hazard a guess at not many which is attrocious.

[hibiedude]

Happy birthday mate Hibs to win 4-1 :wink:

[Dunbar Hibee]

True but can't blame that on CC, hopefully the players show some balls today and get a win.

Not a bad team on paper, replace grounds and we should be in not to bad shape!!:agree:

I'd maybe play Murray left back and put mcbride or Wotherspoon in beside miller.

[down-the-slope]

There are a big group of Dutchb lads at the game in my section west lower - were in club shop spending plenty before the game too
We should make it easier for this kind of tourist to attend - easy for PATG cup game but a pain for Cat A
Must be an easy solution? Not many OF fans could produce a Dutch passport for instance

[seanraff07]

Slept in and was too late to make the game so i'm absolutely gutted(not sure why) :boo hoo:

Thanks. Found it eventually after a search.

no rankin aswell :top marks nish does seem to get his goals against the wee teams though, seem to recall him getting a few v the smaller teams we played last year

[Hibs90]

Ayr with a fantastic crowd :agree:

On their way, confirmed to me last night by high quality source (guy in pub:greengrin).

Really good opportunity for Ayr - sleeping at the back again.

I would think that's certain with Nish - if not injured he would surely have been on the subs bench for a match like this. Wouldn't be wholly surprised to see him come to Tynecastle as cover for Kyle until the end of the season. We have no substitute target man striker and Kyle will be missing a few through suspension

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Wish we'd went at Hearts with that team :boo hoo:

[danhibees1875]

very much doubt he will be at hearts, he's a big hibs fans isn't he?

[hibsbollah]

Love the lineup:greengrin wish i had bothered myself to go along:rolleyes:

Anyone know whats happened to Stephens? thought hed be on the bench at least.

[son of haggart]

:faf::faf::faf::hyper:

HE IS ALL YOURS!!!!! :aok:

Didn't say I'd want him : - just the Jefferies connection and our need for a stand in, in that position, make it a possibility - hopefully you're keeping him!


:rolleyes:

[CapitalHibs]

very much doubt he will be at hearts, he's a big hibs fans isn't he?

:agree:

He's no target man either!

[Hibs90]

Zemmama anonymous so far. Hibs pushing forward without any real cutting edge.

[SouthamptonHibs]

18mins gone and still no goals...Petrie get it sorted:na na:

[Hibs90]

Aberdeen 2-0 up

[RickyS]

open all mic's says you would not know who the SPL team was and that Hibs are toiling to string the passes together.

flare goes off in the Ayr end!

[PeeJay]

Ayr carve open our "defence" ...

[son of haggart]

Zemmama anonymous so far. Hibs pushing forward without any real cutting edge.

You need that target man, Nish I think he's called....:wink:

[Hibs90]

Minging defending, chance for Ayr - dragged wide. Sure I heard a few boos there from Hibs fans...

[Removed]

Flare in the Ayr support. No flair on the pitch yet.

[Hibs90]

You need that target man, Nish I think he's called....:wink:

You need to go back to brokeback :wink:

[Hibs7]

You need that target man, Nish I think he's called....:wink:

If this is what we think is our best team then we are in deep do do, time to spend money Petrie. Dons 3 up.

[Andy Bee]

He's also good mates with Gary Locke so wouldn't rule it out totally.

What makes you think Nish is, or ever has been, a target man? 'Cos he's tall?

You're so far from the truth with that statement!

[CapitalHibs]

If this is what we think is our best team then we are in deep do do, time to spend money Petrie. Dons 3 up.

Total lack of confidence, imo.

You're so far from the truth with that statement!

somebody to aim at with crosses and to hold the ball up for smaller nimbler forwards.

It's usually one of the attributes of target men to be tall, though I agree he doesn't have much else (I am no fan of Nish, just suggesting that as he isn't on the bench, he's probably leaving, and as Hearts need centre forward back up for Kyle - one of the few positions not covered - Jefferies might just see him as a stop gap option)

To be extra clear I would hate it to be the case and doubt it will happen!

If the Kyle to Rangers rumours are true it could happen I suppose.

[matty_f]

Serious lack of leaders/winners in the squad. Nobody wants it enough, nobody pushes the team on, nobody takes responsibility.

It's a massive problem.

[DaveSo]

We are not alone in getting to HT at nil nil.
The Arabs, ICT & sT Mirren also all scoreless.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Serious lack of leaders/winners in the squad. Nobody wants it enough, nobody pushes the team on, nobody takes responsibility.

It's a massive problem.

:agree: Been like that for ages now. I'd go as far as to say there are no leaders in the squad. That includes Ian Murray.

[Cropley10]

Apparently we're only a couple of players away from being a good team.:rolleyes: It's got 0-0 written all over it...

Aye, I think Murray is past his best IMO, which is a shame.

Sitting here freezing my jewels off I can confirm that we have been gash - midfield is non excistant and we have lumped long balls time and again and can't even get that right
Second half had better have some commitment or we will be going out or at best down to Ayr

[Cropley10]

Thought those 2 were Duffy and Zemama :confused:

That's right!! Forgotten that :thumbsup:

[Jim44]

Must be appealing to his professionalism to help win the day ,then he can go
Tells you what hes got , but if the guys going I wouldnt expect him to be on the bench ,and the guy hes keeping should be taking his place on the bench no .
Doesnt add up if you ask me

1614: Fresh Ayr or stale? The Somerset Park part-timers have played only one game in almost two months. Hibs are pinning the Second Division outfit back now.

[PhoenixHibee]

You would really think our guys would be much fitter and match sharper than a team that has played so little in the last while. Hibs' confidence must be at the bottom.

I wonder why though. Are they refusing th apply themselves? Or is it too much drinking afterwards.
We really need some guys who want to play football not get paid well so they can go out bevvying.

Seems like total panic running through the Hibs team

By far the most people browsing a single thread

So the 2 that were going to save the day...or our season are both off.
F'kn shambles from top to bottom

Both just back from serious injuries, crazy to expect instant results from them.

Both just back from serious injuries, crazy to expect instant results from them.

Anyone else expecting this to finish 0-0 then for them to win the reply? Getting jealous of the sheep just now

Let's be honest an early could be for the best, this season is all about surviving relegation.. As sad as that is, its true.

Aye and the hit to confidence, dwindling crowds, fall in revenue. Defo for the best :rolleyes:

Aye, a scrappy 1-0 win against ayr utd is going to help already terrible confidence levels. Everyone can see there is something wrong with the team, even if we do win this game 1-0 it won't make a difference.

Nah, everyone I usually go with is ill or just can't be arsed:hilarious

disgrace - hibs fans are treated poorly by board for years - taken for granted for years, season ticket money expected for years. they'll be sending out renewal packs soon not knowing what league we'll be in

our club is a joke and if we cant beat a 2nd div team at home then we should pack in.

[Forthview]

A rare clean sheet is a small positive

[Spike Mandela]

Definitely the worst season since the relegation season. No matter the financial argument surely the Hibs board have to do something to save our season.

One consolation I'd rather have a replay at Ayr than at Ross County, don't envy Dundee Utd that one.

.....if I have to sack Calderwood, will anybody blame me for appointing him?

YES Petrie, we will blame you. You are useless at appointing managers and your latest one was unpopular (from the start) with anybody who had a brain in their head. You have outdone yourself with Calderwood and should resign for costing the club yet more money in appointment/sacking fees, lost revenue, etc.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

He picked the team everyone here seemed to want. It's not his fault he's inherited a load of rubbish.

If it just about pick a team then most of us could have done that today, and have saved Hibs ££££ on CCs wages. Of course its a lot more than picking 11 players - motivating these losers, changing tactics, subbies, more motivation until the game is won. That's what CC was brought in to do, and is patently failing to do.

[hibee-shtuggie]

march aint exactly inspiring either :bitchy::greengrin

haha i look forward to march, hogg and rankin, jeezy whiz

[PeeJay]

It's not his fault he's inherited a load of rubbish.
But it is his fault that the team is playing without any game plan, any tactics, any motivation, any sense of cohesion, any sense of team spirit, any sense of knowing what to do on the park - he's not doing very well as a manager to be honest, is he?

[EasterRoad4Ever]

not wishing to argue cos I think CC needs a wee bit of time, but what exactly did Broonie at Aberdeen inherit???

[RIP]

If we were a normal commercial company with active shareholders we would have sacked the man in charge before now

Not at Hibs though. A Board led by 3 accountants who know stuff all about football. We have been deluded enough to believe that the board who gave us debt clearance and capital investment are completely off the hook when it comes to responsibility for our MAIN BUSINESS - football entertainment and success.

They hire and fire a coaching team every year and that's all we demand from them - :confused: WTF?

exactly what I have been thinking for a while, he has had an instant impact. but CC like Hodgson at liverpool, what exactly has changed since he arrived? if we get to the end of this window with less than 3 quality players..........well I don't want to think about it

[mcfly]

does anyone think petrie will now splash the cash??

he sacked yogi and got CC, i'm sure CC must have been guaranteed money when he started.

what is happening with the money for bamba?? we need players it so obvious.

if this doesnt happen this week - i fear for us and this bunch of muppets/losers will take us into 1st div and then leave the sinking ship.

I think the fans have been very patient with the board selling our best players but enough is enough.

:agree: A much worse squad than Hibs. At the end of the day, the manager is th most important guy at the club. And if you have an imcompetent guy appointing the managers, you're unlikely ever to have a successful team.

I know hibs need new players, but Calderwood should have done MUCH better than what he has done. Can anybody seriously see this guy doing a good job for us?

these w*nks are supposed to be trying to impress a new gaffer or at least impress potential new employers. shameful

[woodyloon]

Great chance for Hibs to get a confidence boosting result today.

Unfortunately it really looks like this is maybe the best level of performance we can muster with these players, infact most of the players would probaly struggle in Division 2, never mind the SPL.

IMO I think they have had almost a year to turn in a performance, and apart from the Rangers match we have struggled. I'm not saying bin the players, but if this is the best it's going to get then I think we should seriously play the under 19's, might still end up getting relegated but I'm positive we would see some passion and desire to win a game from the youngsters.

I can't see no light at the end of this tunnel, and I can't see whats going to trigger any changes in results.

[Billy McKirdy]

He picked the team everyone here seemed to want. It's not his fault he's inherited a load of rubbish.

NO! Its his job to pick the team HE wants, no matter who the fans are crying out to play, its still his job to identify the best players for the job AND organise them to produce the results. Its not his job to be a populist with the fans, its his job to get the most out of the players at his disposal and IMHO he's failed to do that miserably...we can argue all night about the quality of the players at our disposal BUT personally I still beleive we have the personnel to get ourselves out of this situation, I just dont beleive CC has the ability to get the best out of those players, before you have a go, Yes! there are more than a few players who's Hibs careers are coming to an end through lack of ability, I dont argue that, but we have plenty youths, Byrne and Booth to name two, who could more than do themselves justice!!:thumbsup:

[Alfred E Newman]

He picked the team everyone here seemed to want. It's not his fault he's inherited a load of rubbish.

The squad is rubbish, we all know that, but Calderwood does not seem to be able to motivate . The guy is so dour he is like an even grimmer version of Alex Miller.
Even given the dire state of the squad Calderwood should be able to mastermind some kind of a victory against Ayr.
It is ridiculously early to be calling for his head but he would be hard pushed to survive a cup exit in the replay.

[euro Hibby]

alot of folk on this site thought Hibs had a good squad preseason. Its obvious this lot are going nowwhere without some changes. Everyone also loved petrie for a while. Its useless moaning, we need 12 months to get back on track.

[Golden Bear]

Over the last few years, Hibs have probably had a bigger player budget than any club outwith the ugly sisters so I'm not convinced that funding is the real issue.

We've had a series of Managers who collectively have congregated a squad of players who are utterly hopeless and have absolutely no pride in their performance whatsoever.

The affinity between the fans and the players is long gone and the quicker that bunch of overpaid under achievers are shown the door then the better.

Unfortunately we'll need to rely on the bulk of the squad to dig us out of a hole and it's not something I am over confident about.

The writing was on the wall midway through last season and unfortunately things just don't seem to get any better and the common factor throughout has been the players.

[Andy74]

Hughes must have been some sort of genius to get that lot to fourth place? No?

[Beefster]

The squad is rubbish, we all know that, but Calderwood does not seem to be able to motivate . The guy is so dour he is like an even grimmer version of Alex Miller.
Even given the dire state of the squad Calderwood should be able to mastermind some kind of a victory against Ayr.
It is ridiculously early to be calling for his head but he would be hard pushed to survive a cup exit in the replay.

If Calderwood starts grinning like a loon all the time and singing and clapping at press conferences, will folk give him the two years that he needs?

As a support, we deserve the pishest of pish teams. Not a ounce of patience between us.

[Jim44]

We must be rank outsiders to win the replay and, frankly, I don't see us winning many more games this season. If and when we go down I don't think we can look to Colin 'deadwood' for inspiration to get us back up.

[ekhibee]

I've never recommended this before, and fully understand people's rallying call to support the team, but quite honestly there might well be a time soon when the Hibs fans have to talk with their feet and just not go to games while this lot are just showing no fight or ability, or any pride in the jersey. I couldn't make it through today, it's snowing heavily where I live, and, yet again, I would have been extremely angry if I had managed to make it through, watch that rubbish, and then listen to people on this board talking about what a fine infrastructure we have. Right now that is totally irrelevant, it's not improved crowds, the training facility does not appear to be improving the ability or fitness of the 1st team despite the excellent facilities in place. We have, supposedly, the best training facilties in Scotland at the moment, well I'm sorry, but big deal. Right now we are definitely going to be relegated, because there are too many gutless wonders in our team, and the amount of changes needed is simply not possible in the January transfer window. I have followed Hibs for over 43 years, I'll always be a Hibs fan, but I do feel a bit stupid at the moment, £400+ for another season ticket which I had to think long and hard about getting this year, and yet again, already, plenty of dissapointment. I don't expect to win every game, far from it, I'm just really becoming appathetic, as long as nothing is done to improve the situation, why should I care if the the people who can do something about it don't seem to bother either. Rant over.
