Every time I have started one of these we have not won, so I thought I would tonight as surely we can't lose!:wink:

So apart from Smith being at LB, Agogo, Airey, Ozzy being out and it looking like O'Hanlon is fit, any team news?

[hibeeleicester]

Don't think i have ever started one of these so hopefully beginners luck!

Any team news? Fancy a bet on first goalscorer!

Totally agree, can't blame the board for this pricing. Blame for me sitting typing whilst the Hibees are at home is squarely on the management and players, they have some some winning over to do before I return.
Oh, and my own finances have taken an absolute battering recently and even a tenner at the moment is hard to come by.
Roll on pay day.

[sbell1875]

In my opinion cup matches should still be included in the season ticket price. For tonight though, all admission prices should have been set at £5.

[steakbake]

You can't really argue with a tenner for a cup game. however, apathy is the winner. if folk knew they were going to turn up to a barnstorming 90mins then mibbes. but there was nothing to suggest that from performances.

I complained about Preston to the BBC last season about his antics as he cheered a goal against us and laughed at our performance. Was told they thought nothing of it and that he would continue.

He is a guy i think you wouldnt get tired hitting and a guy you would want to hit. my wife even asked who the fud was on the radio the other day.

Now that is a good incentive. Maybe next season they could extend it to May 1st or June 1st so the season is near or has finished. Especially judging by the 8,800 at ER on Saturday.

Anyone have any idea how many tickets we've sold for Sunday?

Just spoken to my bro who is at the match, and whilst it is a small crowd, he reckons about 5000 there tonight (lets hope 5,032 :greengrin)

[lucky]

A lot more than 1000. I would say around 4500 . Hibs playing ok two very good goals. O connor dropping deep to receive the ball.

Half time. Can we play them every week?

[smurf]

Ok its Berwick Rangers but we've been fairly impressive thus far tonight.


Scott and Palsson particulary impressive in midfield.

[Makaveli]

Doing ok, hard to up the pace against a Berwick side that tbh looks fairly disinterested. Brown's kicking has been a bit dodgy and the midfield is quite disjointed but Galbraith and Sproule are always looking for the ball.

Scott's corners have been good (O'Hanlon looks a threat) and his goal was a peach. GOC was strong in assisting Sodje who took his well.

Crowd 4.5-5.5k from where I'm sitting but we'll see.

[Andy74]

Even Andy is predictimg 5 goals though

Even Andy?:greengrin

I used to get stick for being too supportive of all things Hibs. It's just CC I don't rate and would rather see the back of. If we can translate this to teams at our own level that will go a long way to proving me wrong. Which would be great as Hibs winning and playing well is the main thing.

Never :O

[IberianHibernian]

Only conclusion I can make at HT is that opposition are so weak that praise or criticism of team would be irrelevant . Watching on Hibernian TV and crowd in East and FF doesn`t look that small . There must be 100 to 200 Berwick fans and suppose we have some in West so maybe 4000 in total ? In Spanish Cup in some rounds team from lower division automatically plays at home . If we`d been away , crowd would have been even smaller ( about 1200 probably ) but chance of Berwick win would have been greater so TV might have been interested .

[hibee]

This is not aimed at you but there has been a lot of people saying that we need another striker as Sodje is not Hibs class, if he keeps scoring the rate he is and Garry O keeps up his fine scoring run, we will not be too far away from where we want to be if we can tighten up at the back.

Therein lies the problem though. I don't think the current defenders we have at the club are capable of keeping us tight at the back. He needed to sign a right back pre-season and with Hart injured and the issues caused by Palsson playing in that position I think it highlights the need even more.

That thought went through my head just after I posted..........so I'll add in 5-0 in our favour!:thumbsup:..........but to be fair I'd take 1-0

[IWasThere2016]

Well done the boys. Professional and a morale boost!

And CC :thumbsup:

East Fife at Bayview please. :greengrin

:confused::shhhsh!: Last team last place last manager I'd want to go near.

How did Fraser Mclaren play for Berwick? Good pal of mine.

:agree: Notwithstanding the opposition, a lot of positives. Not one bad performance, Palsson looked more involved, a steady stream of good crosses and far more controlled shooting than we saw on Saturday - a lot on target and we could have had several more but for their goalie. Nice debut by Smith and good to see O'Hanlon back.

Unless at least two of Motherwell (away to Clyde), St. Johnstone (home to Livi) and Inverness (away to Ayr) lose tomorrow night.

Palsson was my MOTM. Absolutely strolled through the game, spraying passes all over the pitch and competing well in midfield. Was much more comfortable than at LB. Accepted that he had plenty of time on the ball, but was IMHO his best all round performance for Hibs to date.

Young Smith at LB had a great 45 mins. I liked that he competed well for the 50/50s and threw himself into challenges. But it was his crosses and attacking flare that caught the eye - wicked ! If he continues to develop, will be a player.

O'Hanlon had a dodgy start but gradually worked himself into the game. He looked a bit rusty after the lay-off, but great to have him back in the defence. He is key to us having a decent season.

But yet again,. the 2 players who have impressed me most this season for lots of reason are GOC and Ivan. Hunger, effort, awareness, drive and decent amount of skill. It is absolutely brilliant to have them back at ER. They have a good understanding and both have improved as players while away. GOC in particular looks to have matured into a much more rounded player, often dropping back to help the midfield and team. 4 goals in the last 4 games also shows he still has an eye for goal. If he carries on like this, he will find his way back into Scotland squad, and his move to a bigger club next summer - hopefully not the OF. Really impressed with his and Ivan's work rate and attitude - could not be better.

Did you not see our defense being cut open time after time ??

Don't disagree with any of that. Would give a lot of credit to Jimmy Scott however. Thought he had a great game and has played his way into the team for Sunday IMO. Great energy , movement and paired up well with Palsson in the middle of midfield. Well deserved MOTM

[Westie1875]

O'Connor looks different class.

:agree: Absolutely delighted that we've got him back, even if it is just for a season (how good would it be if we could get him to sign a longer contract.... :greengrin ).

[basehibby]

Garry O running the game for us, coming back and doing the midfields job for them.

:thumbsup: Great to hear that GOC is continuing to show he's a considerably better player than the one that left us for Russia 5 years or so back - think he's going to be a very big player us this season :thumbsup:

[Hibs Class]

Did you not see our defense being cut open time after time ?? I was there so saw the chances berwick had. We left space at the back and players got caught out of position at times. You expect the opposition to create chances in every game and given that we were attacking for most of the game I don't mind that we conceded several chances. If I looked harder I'm sure I'd find negatives but I'm really not minded to do so.

[Dunbar Hibee]

Welcome back by the way:)!

Haha, thanks bud. :aok:

[blackpoolhibs]

Just what we needed tonight, an easy game to help with confidence. :thumbsup:

[Billy Whizz]

Lee currie ( Sean Welsh's mate) had a few pops at Martin Scott

[greenlex]

I thought O Connor dud really well. We kinda lost our shape a bit when he departed. Decent team display tonight. Need to do it against the teams who we should be beating in the SPL though. A good boost for the lads.

I reckon either as a group or individually Calderwood kaid it on the Line to Palsson and Galbraith. Along the lines of here is the opportunity show me you can do it.
I also reckon he gave Sodje a rocket at half time along the lines of "you wont get match fit standing around in the middle"
Smith did really well when he came on but worry about his lack of hieght fir a full back. He nay struggle to contain a Lafferty or a Samaras in the air. Fantastic going forward and much better delivery than Booth. Wouldlike to see him under a bit of pressure with quality opposition befire getting too excited about him.

Agree with all of that Lex.

O'Connors form is going to have him quoted for Scotland again pretty soon which will probably mean him signing a pre-contract somewhere else in January which I suppose is exactly why he signed.

Hopefully 1 good season out of him will be worth it.

Defense is STILL a worry for me.

Enjoyable night though.

[Leishy1995]

To be honest, they could have scored 4 if they were a good team, none the less midfield onwards was brilliant!:flag:

And we could have scored 9 or 10, apparently.

[basehibby]

Delighted with what I'm hearing about the performance tonight with morale boosting contributions coming from all over he park.

It's interesting that the midfield partnership of Palsson and Scott, so successfull in Feb's 5 game winning streak, was reunited to great effect in this game. Together with the much suggested return of Wotherspoon to RB that seems to have worked a treat! Scott has been much criticised after some lacklustre passing displays but he does add a lot of energy to the midfield and it's great to see him banging in a couple of goals which might improve his confidence and settle him a bit.

On top of that we have morale boosting goals for Sproule, Sodje (delighted to hear the big guy's back BTW) and the increasingly impressive O'Connor with special mentions for Scott Smith. i remember him being a standout as perhaps the smallest centre half I'd ever seen in the U-19's cup win vs the huns at Hamden and it's very encouraging to hear he had such a good game.

I'm not getting carried away about our prospects for the derby but a resounding vicory like this can do the team's confidence no harm at all - I'm a lot more hopeful that we can take something from the fixture than I was this time yesterday - Bring it On!!!!!! :hibees

When are the highlights up?


Will the highlights be on tv or online?

The only camera there tonight was the Hibernian TV camera.

At present I am just starting on producing a highlight package, so hopefully I will have it online for around 3-4am.

You'd like to think so, wouldn't you? I heard the guys on the radio talking up O'Connor's chances for getting back into the Scotland squad but I just don't see Levein picking him.

I agree with you on the defence. For a 10 minute spell in that second half tonight, a half decent side would have taken 3 or 4 off us. I realise the game was done and dusted by that point but we shouldn't be allowing a team of Berwick Rangers' standard so many easy opportunities to score.

Worth the money just to hear Boozy's commentary :greengrin Guy obviously still has a great love for the club :agree:

Once again the Hibs TV delivered a fantastic service, it's been a few years now since I last worried about getting a good stream :agree:

upload taking a wee bit longer. However, The 1st and 3rd goals as well as Smith's great effort can now be viewed via the freeview screen on the official website www.hibernianfc.co.uk

25 minutes of highlights now up.

[whiskyhibby]

In my opinion cup matches should still be included in the season ticket price. For tonight though, all admission prices should have been set at £5.

It was included in the season ticket if you renewed like my by 1st April
