Official Match Thread.. Hibernian 0 V 2 Rongers

[Hibernia Na Eir]

Birmingham game for me, and Barca thereafter.

Not sure i can suffer watching this "team" wearing our proud colours.
Seriously can't stomach watching this pish anymore, they geneuinely dont care if we go down!!!

100% agree Craig, im done with this mob of "footballers".

Thats it.

[Biggie]

Pretty sure someone said this was the worst run without scoring hibs had been on in 85 years......jesus, in a rank rotten league that's some going....what's next ?...Dundee utd away - canny see us score there...roll on st midden

[Sean1875]

its ok everyone dont panic, de graafs on, problem solved. :rolleyes:

[Wotherspiniesta]

?? Rankin is on...

Where about? :confused:

Seriously though. This games crying out for a big strong targetman like Colin Nish.

[hibsbollah]

Come on Ed. You can do it. The New Cruyff:flag:

[thebakerboy]

Commentator says if we don't score tonight will be longest run without a goal for 85 years , SAYS IT ALL REALLY.:furious:

[FitbaFolkKen]

De Graaf coming on, what a great substitution!

Prick

A bit personal no??

[Hibby Bairn]

Had a season ticket with my boys for last 10 years but kids had football training tonight. Followed hibs for 30 years. And this just about the worst I can recall. I really have no real interest anymore. This game will end up 3 or 4 for Gers. About to watch Barca. So, so poor.

[Zorro]

:greengrin

:whoosh:

[cabbageandribs1875]

just how long can the buns hold out against this relentless pressure from us

[Speedway]

McLeish couldn't get a improvement out of the shower he inherited.

Was he Clueless McLeish?

[nortonhibby]

couldnt agree more :agree:

nice shiny stands though...


Nice shiney EMPTY stands you missed out a word and one person is to blame the famous Misor Mr RP Take a bow.

There was a time mr RP When we used to beat this lot on our turf you are a Disgrace look around at your EMPTY stadium RP and think about what you have done to our Club.

[Speedway]

Unlucky Murray.

[cabbageandribs1875]

2-0 sellick mr stokes:greengrin

[Hibernia Na Eir]

2-0 Celtic

STOKES !

[Sylar]

Aberdeen also lead 2-0.

The sheer improvement of that club with the same players (except Blackman) under Brown is staggering.

[marinello59]

De Graaf coming on, what a great substitution!

Prick

To be honest he can't do any worse than McBride did.

[vahibbie]

just how long can the buns hold out against this relentless pressure from us

Oh, let's see......when's hell due to freeze over:wink:

[Speedway]

Unlucky again Murray. I bet your mind made that tackle 30 mins before your legs did.

[cabbageandribs1875]

another yellow for murray, jeeeezo he's picked up quite a few yellows the last 18 months



2-0 the dons against 10-man caley

[One Day Soon]

Don't see how it's completely irrelevent when we actually play well for some spells - I can see as well as the next man that not everything is working and we have lots of problems, but to paint everything balck seems pointless to me - a quick goal and we're back in this.:greengrin

:flag:

A quick goal? What have you been doing this year? We don't appear to do goals, fast or slow. Calderwood has said it himself, playing well - in spells or otherwise - is of no value if we don't get points.

[stokesmessiah]

Hibs started more brightly and a bit more purpose.

Murray just sent Weiss flying.....Shame :devil:

[Bostonhibby]

Commentator says if we don't score tonight will be longest run without a goal for 85 years , SAYS IT ALL REALLY.:furious:

Ach nonsense, it only seems like 85 years since we last scored, I distinctly remember Gordon Smith Scoring the opener against the Yams on New Years day 1950, in fact I am looking at the actual picture on my shelf right now as I cry into my beer...............

[Wembley67]

I don't understand the negativity on this thread.

[DAVE1875]

Its getting to the stage where I'm to think that if Hibs score it'll break time

[cabbageandribs1875]

Oh, let's see......when's hell due to freeze over:wink:

when hertz win the league :agree:

[SkintHibby]

2-0 sellick mr stokes:greengrin

This is one night I could not give a flying one that the smellies are gubbing Hearts. Nothing to smile about tonight.

[madabouthibs]

Green army..... green army.... green army..... .green army..... green army......
Go on lads! :not worth

[Hainan Hibs]

Unlucky again Murray. I bet your mind made that tackle 30 mins before your legs did.

:faf:

I'm glad something made me smile tonight.

Didn't expect anything from this game but Hibs are truly murder.

I don't fancy our chances in a relegation dogfight with Hamilton.

[One Day Soon]

I don't understand the negativity on this thread.

Read it more slowly then - its pretty straightforward.

[Speedway]

Are Hibs piping a tape of fan chants through the PA system.

I can't believe how well we're backing this dross.

[Craig_in_Prague]

1-1 Lee Bowyer

[cabbageandribs1875]

weir nearly scores his first goal since 1938

[AndyM_1875]

McLeish couldn't get a improvement out of the shower he inherited.

Was he Clueless McLeish?

Mcleish did get improvement. There were some brave performances, 0-0 at Parkhead, 2-1 at home to the Fuds. And a lot of draws.

This lot however are a waste of space.

[stokesmessiah]

Are Hibs piping a tape of fan chants through the PA system.

I can't believe how well we're backing this dross.

:devil:

Does sound repetitive now you come to mention it !

[sparkiehibs]

BBC have moved the celtic score back to 1-0

???

[Bourne_Hibs]

The combination of the erratic refereeing and the bias of the ESPN commentators is making this painful.

Its a hard one to explain, but maybe someone could lend you the boxed set of the last years performances, if you haven't got the time there is the collectors edition of 2011 Hibs goals, with a free DVD of our defensive bloopers narrated by Terry Wogan with analysis by Jumbo Jeffries:greengrin

[Speedway]

Riordan's coming on, presumably for De Graff.

Embrace the change!

Much better other things can be done on Saturday's, honestly.:agree:

[sparkiehibs]

Spoony and deek coming on

Zouma and Murray off

[Speedway]

Rankin is Captain.

Captain is Rankin.

Both true statements.

[Sylar]

A central midfield partnership of Rankin and DeGraaf - that would strike fear into the heart of any club!

[pacorosssco]

Spoony and deek coming on

Zouma and Murray off

rankin wtf no been in it at all

[One Day Soon]

"Rankin has taken on the Captain's armband"

Mummy, did you drop LSD in my honey nut cheerios this morning?

[Craig_in_Prague]

St Johnstone, Aberdeen and St Mirren are all nicely pulling away from us and Hamilton.

Leaving it down to the 2 of us to "fight it out"

Who is your money on?

[KiddA]

hahahahahahahaha the highlight of the night Rankin just got the captains band oh ma sides :faf::faf::faf:

[Sylar]

Barca 1-0 Almeria: Messi - that's Barcelona's 98th goal of the season.

The goalkeeping was of Smith quality.

[Sylar]

11 minutes gone:

Barcelona 2-0 Alermia: Villa

More Smith-esque goalkeeping!

99 goals for the season...

[pacorosssco]

"Rankin has taken on the Captain's armband"

Good. I'm going to win some money tonight at least.

[Speedway]

ESPN just daid Duff Jimmy was the manager when we were relegated last.

Not strictly true.

[nortonhibby]

St Mirren winning if it stays like this as Aberdeen are winning we are in a straight dog fight with Hamilton how did we ever get into this mess :confused:

[leither17]

Barca 2 up in 10mins (Villa) - keeper does a Smith


fall on his arse or shout like a girl?

[hibsbollah]

I want to support Calderwood. I really do. But its not easy:rolleyes:

[Speedway]

St Mirren winning if it stays like this as Aberdeen are winning we are in a straight dog fight with Hamilton how did we ever get into this mess :confused:

Not winning much in the whole of 2010 definitely contributed.

[Sylar]

Indirect free kick given to Almeria inside the box for high feet against Abidal...

Why not a penalty?

[sparkiehibs]

Aberdeen 2-0 ICT

St Johnstone 1-0 Motherwell

Jelavic nuts Hanlon and they both get booked.

[bathhibby]

One point of a trivial nature

There is some guy in the Hun Dug Out who needs to re-examine his Hair Dye - Jet Black at his age - I don't think so

As for the Fitba ?????

[One Day Soon]

I want to support Calderwood. I really do. But its not easy:rolleyes:

You have a version of my Miliband problem.

[Sir David Gray]

Why no red card for Jelavic? :confused:

Absolute joke.

[Biggie]

The ball is well and truly BURST.....joke refereeing totally bottled it

[Sylar]

Jesus...

Barcelona 3-0 Almeria - 15 mins gone.

Messi again and 100 goals for Barcelona.

[SkintHibby]

Indirect free kick given to Almeria inside the box for high feet against Abidal...

Why not a penalty?

Could you start a seperate thread for this please.

[BoltonHibee]

More dishonest officiating

[AgentDaleCooper]

Could you start a seperate thread for this please.

i disagree, it provides light relief (seriously)

[Speedway]

Probably the kiss of death but I don't think Booth has lost the ball all night.

[grunt]

I always thought a head butt was a straight red.

[Moulin Yarns]

More dishonest officiating

It's a conspiracy I tells ye!!

[Dirkster23]

Why no red card for Jelavic? :confused:

Absolute joke.

A straight red every time these days. Sums up Scottish officials :agree:

[davehiby]

jellyvitch could have 2 reds 1 elbow 1 nut and gets a yellow same as hanlon absolut joke

[Sylar]

Could you start a seperate thread for this please.

Why? The other SPL/Carling Cup scores are being discussed.

Just don't read the posts - simple.

[leither17]

Probably the kiss of death but I don't think Booth has lost the ball all night.

has looked pretty good just needs a bit more luck with the final ball

[Speedway]

Rangers due a third anytime now.

[grunt]

Birmingham equalise

[Craig_in_Prague]

2-1 Birmingham!

so extratime (and pens) unless more goals

[Sylar]

We could play til this time tomorrow and still not score.

I'd be interested to see how many 50/50's we've won tonight.

Francis Dickoh - deary me...

[thebakerboy]

A straight red every time these days. Sums up Scottish officials :agree:

Remember who he plays for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Speedway]

Rangers can take 5 of their lads off and it wouldn't make a difference.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

want to keep supporting CC, but although i never expected top six, if he can't keep this dross in the spl then we need someone who can asap.

[Moulin Yarns]

jellyvitch could have 2 reds 1 elbow 1 nut and gets a yellow same as hanlon absolut

From the BBC, even they don't know why Hanlon was booked.

71:23 Booking Paul Hanlon booked.
<LI id=matchLiveText_3284209_seq_105_0>71:16 Booking The referee cautions Nikica Jelavic for unsporting behaviour.

[vahibbie]

Why? The other SPL/Carling Cup scores are being discussed.

Just don't read the posts - simple.

Cos there's too many goals being mentioned....we're no used to that:wink:

Absolute joke.

Its simple he is a Old Firm player :agree:

[SkintHibby]

[sparkiehibs]

Celtic 4-0 Hearts

McCourt

[Speedway]

Why does Nish knock it down for a Rangers player in the one in ten challenges that he wins?

[thebakerboy]

Hope Mr Petrie notices the empty stands , IT IS TIME TO PANIC , we are in the proverbial and we need new players , new manager , new Chief Exec. New Stand , New training ground , oh no forget the last two.

[Speedway]

Dickoh is poor tonight.

Awww, shame. And I so wanted to see the Yams win the league like FJK said.

Apologies HNA6!

[Craig_in_Prague]

At least we're going to go down fighting, I mean teams are needing to work really hard to beat us. Must be really phyisically and mentally tiring playing us.

[Speedway]

Rangers are jogging. We're allowing them all the space and time they require.

This is not Calderwood's fault whatever he may or may not be.

[SkintHibby]

No if its part of a masonic ritual recognised by a brother mason, Hanlon obviously isnae one or he could have responded in kind and got away wi it!

[Sylar]

Any update on what the attendance was tonight?

People voting with their feet and less money coming into the club might just get Rod's attention.

St Mirren 1-1 Dundee United

Who put those players on the pitch exactly???

Yes the players are bad but Calderwood is worse

I could get the team playing better with just one training session

[grunt]

United equalise against St M

[KiddA]

Only positive of the night Utd just scored to make it 1-1 with St Mirren

[Houchy]

Whats the Barca score?

:devil:

You're at it:greengrin

They were leading 3-0:agree:

[Sylar]

What is the point of Edwin DeGraaf?

Has he touched the ball more than 5 times?

Couldn't even knock the ball 5 yards to Papac to take the throw in with no pressure on him!

[One Day Soon]

This does have the feel of all engines on fire, no parachutes, pilot dead, over open water and no life jackets.

We are crying out for an older, experienced dressing room thug in our midfield or central defence.

[Speedway]

Well this the end of experimentation.

CC needs to pick an XI and stick with it now.

[Sylar]

:devil:

You're at it:greengrin

They were leading 3-0:agree:

4-0: Half an hour gone and one way traffic.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Who put those players on the pitch exactly???

Yes the players are bad but Calderwood is worse

I could get the team playing better with just one training session

Who could he have played instead though?

As for your other point that's 2 managers that can get nothing from them - I suggest you could no different and get nothing from them. They appear to be un-motivatable*.

*Not sure if this is a word.

[Speedway]

Flicking between the 2, and every time I've turned over, he's given the ball away or shirked a tackle.

No chance. We can't just keep sacking managers. It won't happen.

[Moulin Yarns]

Interesting Statistic on the BBC text of our game

Fouls

Hibs 15
Rangers 17

Bookings

Hibs 5
Rangers 2

Considering Jellywitch should have got a straight red card for the head butt, I think we got off lightly having a booking for every 3 fouls compared to their 1 booking foro every 10 fouls.

[Houchy]

Thought Towell (apart from his error), Galbraith, Booth, Hanlon and SMITH (yes really:greengrin) had a decent game tonight. Then again, that's almost 1/2 of our team and we still looked like we could have played for another month without scoring.

Zemamma is just not the same player as before. For all Nish tries, his confidence is too far gone now. De Graff is a waste of space.

Not good

[renato]

[cabbageandribs1875]

CC: nothing we can talk about....not worthwhile.

interviewer: are you in a relegation battle now :rolleyes: ermmm ummmmm AYE ya plum

[The Tubs]

I hope that Calderwood's spent these last few months sussing out what needs doing and is now prepared to implement his masterplan on Sunday. After all, whenever someone has a good start at Hibs, it's generally only downhill from there on in. Let's hope it's the other way round this time

[cabbageandribs1875]

Full time, 2-0.

Worst goalless streak since 1926 and no goals scored in 541 minutes of league and cup football. :bitchy:


9 hours and 1 minute sounds better

[One Day Soon]

No chance. We can't just keep sacking managers. It won't happen.

You're wrong. If we lost the next two - and certainly if Hamilton win one at the same time and if we don't score - it will be glass of port and revolver time.

Rod doesn't take the rap for anyone, Calderwood included.

[sesoim]

No chance. We can't just keep sacking managers. It won't happen.


We can if Petrie keeps appointing the wrong ones.

[calamitus]

OK, amid the sea of understandable negativity where everything anyone did wrong will no doubt be under the microscope , lets look at some positives:

Smith played much better tonight - more about the goalkeeping situation on his thread.

Galbraith - in the words of DeGraff, 'He'sh a keeper.' - always making positive runs, looking for the ball, skillful. The number of fouls going in on him shows he caused problems for the Stickies

Towell - passback apart, he looked really capable - gets forward, good tackling and control, clever bit of running interference earlier to cancel out a serious goalscoring chance, crossing into the box for a change, although, granted, there's no fker there when they arrived

Dickoh, made a few minor mistakes, but never hid - always at the heart of the defence, taking responsibility- not a guy to build a defence around, but could definitely be part of a really solid defence along side a more experienced CB

Booth - didn't look overawed in the SPL - did nothing spectacular, but acquitted himself well

4-0.

[IWasThere2016]

We can if Petrie keeps responsibility for appointments.

Sorted that for you.
