Rangers 1 vs Hibernian 0

[col02]

Did Jelavic handle the ball prior to the goal?

[frazeHFC]

Dunno what player it was but they had the chance to thump it up the pitch but it went straight to the hun that crossed it.

[East Coast Hibe]

Was definately coming that goal. We are sitting far too deep all 2nd half

[blackpoolhibs]

It was coming, we have not done enough as an attacking force since coming out in the 2nd half.

[Mikey]

Ouch! It's been a bit like the Alamo for most of this half though so it's been coming.

Let's hit them on the break............

[R'Albin]

Anyone got a link?

[whiskyhibby]

Wotherspoon coming on

[The Voice Of Reason]

Lets try and put them under a bit of pressure FFS.

Plan A out of the window, lets go for it.

[SaulGoodman]

Nothing to lose now. Let's go for it!! :flag:

[Elephant Stone]

We're screaming out for a playmaker.

[frazeHFC]

We score as soon as Ralbin appears. It is all his fault we conceded a goal. :wink:

[SanFranHibs]

Dunno what player it was but they had the chance to thump it up the pitch but it went straight to the hun that crossed it.

Could not believe he thumped into the middle and not to the side !

[whiskyhibby]

We should bring on Griffiths...........

[frazeHFC]

Spoony and Griffiths coming on.

Another Hun goal chopped off.

[Lofarl]

Spoony and Sparky to come on.

[Moulin Yarns]

Anyone got a link?

Yes, quite a few of us have links. :wink:

[The Voice Of Reason]

1-0 down at Ibrox - and we are about to bring David Wotherspoon on !!!!!!!!

I hope he proves me wrong but I don't suppose the Ibrox hoardes will be losing any sleep about Wotherspoon coming on!

[whiskyhibby]

Rankers goal offside...............

[whiskyhibby]

Scott and Sproule for Griffiths and Spoony

[SanFranHibs]

You can see his brain still works good !
:flag:

[The Voice Of Reason]

This looks like a training game for Rangers - poor stuff from Hibs.

IF only Agogo had taken his chance :grr:

[frazeHFC]

They are moaning about kicking the ball out for our man injured. How many times have we had to do that for them! :grr:

[whiskyhibby]

GOC Just offside :confused:

[whiskyhibby]

Hibs pressing a bit more now

[whiskyhibby]

Good save Stack

[frazeHFC]

Stack good save.

[frazeHFC]

Another great save by Stack.

[SanFranHibs]

They are moaning about kicking the ball out for our man injured. How many times have we had to do that for them! :grr:

What makes it it worse is even if it is their player they play on amd as soon as we 'steal' the ball the fans boo when we don't !!

Come on Hibs...'steal' a point !

[whiskyhibby]

Griffiths Offside poor decision :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[whiskyhibby]

[frazeHFC]

Naismith, Laugherty and Jelavic.......the Huns have the dirtiest strike force around. Plus Diouf was there last year aswell.

[HH81]

FFS - we should be pressing them back - THE OPPPOSITE IS HAPPENING !

This is sh*te from Hibs.

Got to agree, I mean how can Hibs not be running rings round a team with a budget 10 times or so higher than them.

Mon Hibs lets sneak a late draw which would be a great result :thumbsup:

[whiskyhibby]

Corner Rankers

[Moulin Yarns]

An injury time penalty would be good :greengrin

[frazeHFC]

**** never realised there is just 1 minute left. Come on!!!

[frazeHFC]

Murray, Hanlon etc injuries. There has to be 5 minutes at least. No chance of that today though..........:rolleyes:

[whiskyhibby]

Added on time of 4 minutes, cmon Hibs

No need to be a f*nny about it.

We should be good enough to have a go and put them under a bit of pressure. In fact, the opposite is happening !

[Moulin Yarns]

4 minutes to nick one

[blackpoolhibs]

We had one fantastic chance, and should have scored it, but in the real world have been 2nd best all game.

[HH81]

An injury time penalty would be good :greengrin

As long as we don't put it over the bar :wink::greengrin

[heretoday]

Hibs have done ok considering.

[The Voice Of Reason]

Hibs have done ok considering.

Considering what ?

[R'Albin]

How ****ing stupid from Spoony there, just ended the game for us:rolleyes:

[frazeHFC]

I think we have done alright. We have just come up against a better team.

[john18722]

Considering what ?

Considering your annoying and pointless posts clearly looking for an argument

[col02]

Sums it up for me but to be fair pretty much every team bar Celtic should be expected to finish 2nd best at Ibrox to Rangers!

[whiskyhibby]

1-0 ft well done lads, you gave them a good game..................:cgwa:cgwa:cgwa:cgwa

[Dan Sarf]

Considering what ?

Considering how xxxx we have been. Nothing like good enough yet but definite signs of improvement there for me.

[Moulin Yarns]

Considering what ?

Considering the value of squads, The current form, The fact we were playing 14 players, A lot of folk think we are *****.

Need I go on??

[R'Albin]

Oh well, no complaints from me, 1-0 isn't a bad result.

[HH81]

No need to be a f*nny about it.



I'm sorry I should just moan then and stay a non f***y, great stuff.

[The Voice Of Reason]

:faf:

[Mikey]

Considering what ?

You haven't seen anything good at all today, have you?

[Elephant Stone]

Didn't do too badly, should've done more to try to equalise though.

[patlowe]

We lost, probably deservedly so, but the important thing is that we're beginning to look like a proper team. Osborne very impressive.

[frazeHFC]

Osbourne looked great. Towell and Agogo did well. I think it is still getting better.

Bring on the 'Well :cgwa

[R'Albin]

:faf:

What's so funny about that? I don't see any humour in his post?

[matty_f]

Second half was poor for us today but a lot to be poditive about in the first half. Osbourne was my motm today.

[Mikey]

Yep, would agree with that. We're going in the right direction.

[SaulGoodman]

Positive signs today, better than recent. :agree:

[The Voice Of Reason]

You haven't seen anything good at all today, have you?

Not true. I thought we defended well enough and Stack made a number of decent saves.

However, most of the 2nd half was like a training match for Rangers and they were extremely comfy. We were 2nd best by a long way.

Do you disagree ?

[HibsMax]

I haven't read any of the other posts in this thread but just gone done watching the game and I still find a lot of what I see distressing. I should have kept notes but how many times did we clear the ball away or take a throw-in and it went right back to Rangers? I wasn't expecting miracles today but it's annoying to see the same happening time and time again. Can we not pass to a man in black? And Stack, almost gifting another goal (but he did make a few great saves). Still a lot of work to be done.

[frazeHFC]

Sit-in-protest at Ewood Park with a few hundred fans.

I agree. Lots of people don't though ! :confused:

[HibsMax]

I agree. Lots of people don't though ! :confused:

It's clear to see that we need a lot of work. I know we are playing away from home against the league leaders but I see little point in punting the ball out of defence all the time because it's going to come right back to us.

There were times when I saw lots of black shirts defending but nobody making a challenge. Why keep standing off? Even though we outnumbered them when they were on the attack it was pretty easy for them to pass the ball through / around us.

Laferty's goal was a joke. He just ran onto it through a sea of black and almost walked it into the net.

Do you disagree ?
Really? Did you see the defence in the second half? It was shot after shot for them.

[frazeHFC]

The defence was better. Yeah they had shots but it wasn't often they found a way through the defence with a pass, at least not as easy as of late.

[just_joe]

Although going to Ibrox and giving them a good match (from what I heard) can be seen from some as a decent result but considering where we are in the league table , im still looking at it as 3 points dropped. I heard we showed a bit of fight about us but that's no use to us if we are going to just do that at Parkhead and Ibrox. We need to play with some passion every match regardless the opposition.

I don't think the team lacked passion, if we had a more stable defence and some creativity in midfield we could have won the game for sure.

I just felt most games this season the team look like they didn't even bother half the time.

[Hainan Hibs]

From what I saw with my mate Justin the team look to be on the up, Osbourne especially who has improved vastly since I seen him against Aberdeen (couldn't have got much worse in fairness:greengrin).

Not many teams will take something from Ibrox this season, although it is disappointing not to come away with a point after how the match panned out.

[Elephant Stone]

I just felt most games this season the team look like they didn't even bother half the time.

They looked up for it today, quick closing down and a desire to get on the ball, a big improvement on earlier in the season. I think they're growing in confidence as well, which will be absolutely vital if we're going to turn this round permanently.

[HibsMax]

I also agree with this but think that there are signs of improvement.

Yup. Agreed. It's just hard to fathom how we can do some things so badly. Even if we don't find a man in Hibs shirt to throw the ball to (from a throw-in) shouldn't we at least see guys running around looking for space? Boozy was screaming about this exact point on Wednesday.

I'm confident Billy Brown won't stand for the same things CC has, and that we'll see that changed next.

After the mess CC has made of things, it could be to the halfway point in the season before we really see what we're capable of after BB turns things totally around IMO, but we'll get there.

How can you see it as 3 points dropped? FFS we were away from home against the champions of the last 3 years who have only dropped 2 points all season. Hibs worked hard and might have snatched a draw. I actually thought it was one of best performances of the season

:top marks Could not agree more. I have no idea what planet some people are on. Since when did it become such an outrage to lose to Rangers away from him, get a ****ing grip.

We were 20 or so mins away from a draw, created a few chances, played very well in spells all at the home ground of a team that is going to walk the league this year.

They not only have the benefit of a huge budget in comparison to us, but a stadium full of supporters backing them for 90mins. Our support that travelled was great, but the numbers pash.

How can people complain about the standard of Hibs when they are lining the pockets of Rangers by subscribbing to Rangers TV - WTF!!!

I watched it on Rangers TV, but did not contribute one cent to them, as Pitlochry HIbee was kind enough to forward a link via a remote site.

Couldnt make t'he bus in time to get to the game in person you see..:wink:

Just for the record, was very impressed with Channel Hun.and the commentary was not at all biased in my view...even admitting that one disallowed attempt by them was '"çlearly offside"

[Sir David Gray]

I've been one of the most critical people on here of the team this season but I don't think too much criticism off the back of Saturday's performance is very fair.

I thought we played reasonably well, on another day we would have scored at least two goals and I thought we competed quite well for large parts of the game.

The only criticism I would have is that I felt their goal was coming a mile off. I'm glad that Billy Brown has mentioned it on Sportscene last night because we were defending far too deep for a good 5-10 minutes before they finally scored. It was really only a matter of time. You can't invite Rangers onto you for a sustained amount of time at Ibrox and hope to get away with it.

I've no idea if we've finally turned the corner or not but what I do know is that there were several encouraging signs during that 90 minutes on Saturday and we certainly did not disgrace ourselves.
