[At The Edge]

Any news from the seaside?
whats the weather like? (anything like Livi, it'll be roasting)
any of the team spewed their ring in the pleasure beach?
anyone ventured into the sea?

[ozzie]

weather is glorious, heres hoping the football from hibs is aswell.

[R'Albin]

Agogo's first game for us tonight as a trialist, lets hope it's not his last in a Hibs shirt and that we can get him signed up!

Looks like our reserve side playing. Hart, De Graff etc.

Great weather.

Suppose it's best, any injuries would be devastating to the depleted squad that we have.

Is Agogo possibly the 11th player not mentioned as starting?

[frazeHFC]

Cameraman 22 is a paedo, taking pictures of the girls in the stand.

[Westie1875]

STILL no agogo then? :rolleyes:

I'm beginning to get a bad feeling about this one, will we EVER see him in a Hibs shirt? :confused:

According to my mate down at the game word is that Agogo is injured and wont be fit for 6 weeks, thats when we will sign him

[PeterboroHibee]

Player not mentioned is Martin Scott, they read out the full line up on the Hibs tv commentry.

[sunshine1875]

:grr: the co-efficient is getting lower and lower...............

A disaster for Rangers as they lose an away goal. Steven Whittaker is robbed on the edge of the penalty area by Jimmy Durmaz and Wilton backheels the ball for Daniel Larsson, who smashes a powerful shot into the net.

You have to be kidding, it is woeful. I jacked it at half time. Would have been sooner but I was sat next to Blackpool Hibs and couldn't get past him!

I guess it's just a sign of how piss poor we are.

Stephens was decent. Whoever is wearing 18 should jack the game in now. The lad up top Crawford...... These lads are so far away from top flight football, I hope the club aren't pinning their hopes on them.

Do you really think Rod would let him leave with his pen? I cannae see it likes.:greengrin

[DAVE1875]

... is this after he's sprinted up to the directors' box to give Rod his pen back? No, it was like a slow motion action scene; he took the throw-in then turned around a threw the pen to Rodders, we even got a slow motion close up of the spinning pen with a heart beat in the backround. It looked as if Rod wasn't going to get it but the left side of his tache shot out and snatched the pen out of thin air.

[SteveHFC]

2-0 Blackpool

Not surprising...I wonder if we have had a shot at goal yet? Thank god I witnessed us getting a corner

Can someone at the game please confirm how we are playing, without getting angry or over-enthusiastic. Just a few sentences. Articulately.

Looks like Blackpool are playing a pretty near first choice eleven while we're giving some of the kids the kind of experience they need.

From the first 45 minutes, not a thing.

I'm by no means a happy clapper but how anyone can get so upset over a meaningless game is beyond me.

[JimBHibees]

Given the inexperience of the team sounds like a half decent run out for the kids. Is the result that important? All about a few players being up to speed for the next few league games.

If British Rail had a DayAwayFan ticket from Edinburgh to Blackpool then many more Hibees might have travelled. The StayAwayFans cost Blackpool 100k tonight. That means they could have had another player on 2k a week for 50 weeks and let him off for 2 weeks holiday in Dunbar !!

I would normally say give them a chance etc, but the current crop don't seem to excite as Scott Brown, Thomson, Riordan, GOC burst onto the scene. The obvious exception from that is Booth, who could become one of the best we have produced.

Also, one alarming feature of Hibs play lately and evident tonight as well is the lack of people firstly taking shots and secondly getting them on target.

Dont listen to Bolton, his head was up his REMOVED yesterday. Yes the kids did not create much, but when you concider that was Blackpools first team, you have to say they did well.

In fact the worst player we had was Ian Murray, our most experienced player at the club. Young Stephens gave a master class display, apart from a couple of dodgy passes, he was terrific all game until replaced by Murray.

What looked like a solid back 4 all evening suddenly became a shambles with no pace and no ability to get the ball down and pass it out from defence when Murray had it or was anywhere near it.

All of a sudden players who were getting no change from balls over the top, were suddenly winning the race and getting to the ball first.

While i dont think there looks to be any of these lads ready for 1st team football yet, the run out they had will have given them an insight into just how much they have to improve in teqnique, strength and composure.

What last night did tell us, and i think we all knew this anyway, is we are well short in players ready for 1st team action.

[HH81]

Got to agree about Stephens I thought he was very good. Infact untill the changes the defense played well. We still wouldn't have scored though if we were still playing now though.

Its the Board and CC's fault we have a small inexperienced squad....

FWIW Blackpool looked average but in no way did the scoreline flatter then and they could have won more handsomely in the end

[Baldy Foghorn]

By the way that is the second match in a row without without a direct shot on target.....

[blackpoolhibs]

That was nearly positive G. :greengrin


Don't believe it, he only wanted to emphasise his customary digs at IM


:wink:

There was some positives last night, although when you have what is supposed to be our most experienced player come on as sub, and it weakens that team, you know we have a few problems.

As Baldy says, we are way way short of 1st team quality players.:agree:

[Hibernia Na Eir]

let's not play these wasteful games again. no shots on target? pointless and worthless exercise

[Haggis Hibby]

Just back after game,,,,

Team looked well organised last night and worked as a unit hunting the ball....

Brown made a few top class saves,,, and his kicking looked ok
Hart had the best game i have seen him play in a Hibs shirt
Stevens and hanlon looked comfortable against K Phillips all night,,,,

EDG and Stevenson competed well in the middle of the park but we were sadly lacking up front as we all know,,,

Overall not a bad performace from a reserve team but pointless friendly due to us not wanting to risk our top team....

and scott took a sore one hopfully its not longterm

Just back from Blackpool.

Probably have to agree that Hibs didnt take a lot out of that, though Stephens looked OK. But it does look like young Crawford has a bit to go before he can play for the first team.

The fans that were there were great, though it kind of says it all when your own supporters are singing "shot on goal" "we want a shot on goal" etc etc.

What is annoying is that as far as the few Blackpool fans that were there are concerned that was the Hibs first choice team out there failing to get a shot on goal in the whole match.


Ah well .... Onwards and upwards.
