Can't see this thread lasting beyond 5pm. Too early and could be on 8 pages before kick off.

We want CalgaryHibs. :agree:

[pogo]

What's the story with Hart? Thought he was getting back to match fitness after his injury?

Suppose the question then is though, do we actually think he is a better option than playing someone (anyone!) else out of position at RB?

Is that a def for MB in goals, or is it just going by previous cup games?

Ivan for an impact sub - Celtic have been playing a lot of games as well as us so bring him on after an hour and let him get a hat trick.

According to Sick Dung on radio glasgow it will be stephens in for o hanlon (no sleep because of new baby) Palsson in, Towell out, Galbraith out. All of which is good news on current form IMO.

We 100% need the Stephens that looked solid against Sunderland (?) in pre-season friendlies - big pressure on the young lad and we need him to step up to the plate and prove he's Hibs class.

Celtic have a pretty good midfield and 2 great strikers, I hope we can somehow take the game to them and not just let them dictate things.

Don't know if Wotherspoon or Palsson will play RB yet.....

O'Hanlon out because of no sleep, are we a professional football club or not?

Aye, let's play a sleep-deprived centre half likely to make mistakes who gets grief when he's fully fit, in a game we could win. Genius.

Very lucky there victor giving a stupid ball away.

can't see the game here in Italy as sy don't do Scottish football anymore..wonder why ?

My usual internet connections not working.bet 365 is banned here. Any ideas as to where I can find the game on the net. Lost my login for Hibs TV so too late to fix that .

[Liam89]

Stephens is looking dodgy imo, losing his man and going out of position etc. Hopefully everyone can tighten up and hold out for another 60 minutes :wink:

[YehButNoBut]

Seen them given, could have been a pen to Hibs.

Riding our luck a bit with their misses.

Sproule playing well. Very end-to-end game, great for neutrals.

Emotions are high in the Leishy household. Just assaulted a Yam for his facebook status of nice full stadium with a where are you in the "wee cup" remark. TOP FORM THE TEAMS ON FIRE!

[frazeHFC]

Matthews dive.

Great counter attack there. **** ball from Palsson though. Should have at least had a shot there!

[YehButNoBut]

We have created a few chances ourselves now, they are struggling with Sproules's pace but his final ball needs to be better.

[iwasthere1972]

An opportunity spurned.

Online on the BBC website if you're struggling;
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/8501453.stm

Sparky should have scored that one-on-one but a GREAT half. We've kept possession really well and restricted Celtc to pretty much just long range shots. Ivan is looking a huge threat and Agogo and Osbourne have really impressed me.

[frazeHFC]

Osbourne, Agogo, Spoony and Sproule have been hero's so far. :thumbsup:

[NOLA]

Halftime 1-0 Hibs :greengrin just another 55 minutes to play.

[Bob Box Fish]

Good first half.

Palsson needs to get the finger out- gives the ball away and too many silly fouls.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

we have had more chances tonight than we have had in the last couple of years against Celtc. We can't depend on them firing blanks in the second half as well. We are passing the ball really well and Osbourne is having his best game in a Hibs shirt.

[Onceinawhile]

Don't think we have anyone playing badly. If we could play like this every game we would be laughing.

Mind you, Wotherspoon failed to move out and by not doing so he played the guy onside - there's a few mistakes in that defence (sic)

They were all poor but Wotherspoon was just the last of the players that didn't challenge. Murrays missed charge created most of the space.

CC and Petrie GTF

[Andy74]

Parkhead should be fun.

[Makaveli]

Garbage. Looked dangerous earlier due to natural pace. Now being ripped due to poor positioning and decision-making. Anything the players do well is despite CC, our collective failings are his fault.

And brown, like Simon, may not make mistakes but i don't see him making many saves either. The 2nd was woeful - Stack would have been out at forrest's feet, brown let him pick his spot. Another poor CC decision - cup QF you player your best players.. **** their feelings.

that defending for the 4th goal was rank rotten. Embarrassing to lose a goal like that in park fitba. Shambles. Does anyone coach the defence?

Sproule off now, 2nd yellow. Could easily be now 6 or 7.

Ivan sproule - what a ****ing coward.

It's just getting worse and worse Ivan off.

Probably Celtic to score 6, effing joke.

[Nevi1875]

Agogo is shocking how he made it is beyond me

[PeeJay]

Sproule is an absolute and utter idiot!

[HFC 0-7]

Utter shambles. Celtic made us look decent in the first half, they have stepped it up and showed the cracks in Hibs. Playing the high line and what seemed to be the off side trap is always dangerous. Sproule off now could be more for celtic.

[IWasThere2016]

Was about to say hook Ivan before he gets sent aff! :grr:

[easty]

Sproule wasn't even going for the ball. Standard Ivan act now think later moment.

Ivan Sproule YET AGAIN lets us dowm. Why did we bring him back?

Eh?

[Riordans Boots]

Awwwww FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :grr:

[scott7_0(Prague)]

And to think so many guys on here think Ivan is the savoir, the hero, he loves Hibs, he has calmed, he still has pace, he will score loads........... aye right good one.

****ing liability. :aok:

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Palsson off. Should have been about 6 months ago.

Oh well game over now.

If ever a player came to Hibs who thought he was 10x better than he actually is, is one Victor Pallsson. Absolutely crap in everything he did. gave the ball away in dangerous positions, gifted Celtic the ball, 2 yes of the pace most of the time, and a liability to the whole team.


Billy big baws turns out to be a pretty **** footballer, and will end up selling PPI insurance for some bank.

[mutley]

Watching the first half, I was spewing that I couldn't be there, now I'm so glad I'm not, leaking goals like a sieve and 10 men!

I really can't see any improvement in the near future, management or players

[cabbageandribs1875]

Ivan Sproule YET AGAIN lets us dowm. Why did we bring him back?



ask petrie

[Northernhibee]

I'm getting ****ing fed up of this. We used to ****ing scare the living **** out of the old firm. Now we're ****ing pathetic. CC has turned us into an absolute ****ing joke, and he can **** off.

The board can **** off too for overseeing us being reduced to this. ****ing ashamed. Awful - hoping the "give CC one more game, the poor thing" brigade shut the **** up as NOTHING can be worse than this.

Had it more than enough.

**** CC.

[blackpoolhibs]

Quality defending again in the centre of our defence.

[justlikebrazil]

get calderwood tae F*** and take that wage thief Petrie with him

[Wotherspiniesta]

You don't win football matches defending this badly.

Simple as that.

The defence has been woeful for about a year and a half now and the problem has still not been addressed.

[chrisski33]

Said in an earlier post that I thought the league game was more important but this is now squirming all around. An utter collapse. No matter what comments the fans or media have, CC must be looking at his position after this. The mental weakness is apalling.

[Hibee-Bongo]

I'd be amazed if anyone in the team could do 5 keepy-upys. No first touch, control of technique. Kick and rush football is one thing, but when it the strikers can't header or chest a ball down its beyond belief. Ivan's a tool, I'd be less annoyed if he was sent off for a big slide or something. Tackling like that just shows you're not very good at football.

[Andy74]

You don't win football matches defending this badly.

Simple as that.

The defence has been woeful for about a year and a half now and the problem has still not been addressed.

We don't have a full back in either position and we have a poor central defence whoever we play there.

We even seem to have two quite big guys sitting in front of the back four and it still doesn't help.

[PeeJay]

Hibs show yet again that they are unable to string more than 2 passes together - what an absolute shambles!

HT Carling Cup

Stoke 1 Liverpool 0
Wolves 1 Man City 3
Everton 0 Chelsea 1
Blackburn 1 Newcastle 0

Takes my mind of this disaster.

[HFC 0-7]

Sproule sending off may have been a good thing for us, Celtic look like they have taken their foot off the gas a bit. They looked more dangerous when it was 11 v 11.

[SkintHibby]

This is beyond Colin Calderwood.

He is merely a symptom of the problem at ER and not the cause.

Worst team I can ever ever remember in nearly 30 years following Hibs.

Petrie FFS, G E T T O F * * * !

[KiddA]

Ivan Sproule YET AGAIN lets us dowm. Why did we bring him back?

Have to agree not even half the player he was :agree:

[nic81]

I dont think Sproule is a liability imho i think Palson is lucky not to be off tonight, could have been any one of them that got a red tonight, so much promise such a big failure, the problem is if calderwood goes who can come in and do a job, imho i think petrie need to gtf:taxi maybe we would see a wee difference, it cant all be the last 3 managers fault can it........

[snooky]

If ever a player came to Hibs who thought he was 10x better than he actually is, is one Victor Pallsson. Absolutely crap in everything he did. gave the ball away in dangerous positions, gifted Celtic the ball, 2 yes of the pace most of the time, and a liability to the whole team.


Billy big baws turns out to be a pretty **** footballer, and will end up selling PPI insurance for some bank.

I hate to jump on the bandwagon but VP won't need a shower as he hardly broke sweat tonight.
We can't go on forever playing with 10 men however, we always seem to put at least one passenger in the team.
The Iceman goeth, mehopes.

Oh well Mickey Mouse cup anyway :wink:

[blackpoolhibs]

We don't have a full back in either position and we have a poor central defence whoever we play there.

The usual suspect will be along to tell us its nothing to do with the defence, and certainly not the middle. I watch a different game apparently.

[Frazerbob]

As another poster said earlier, Sproule is simply a coward. He'd rather lash out and get sent off than stay and fight when we're getting gubbed. Too many fans think the sun shines out his erse because of his hat-trick and because he's a "great guy" and drinks in the Volley. Sorry, he's an amatuer and should never have been brought back to Easter Road.

[Andy74]

Forrest looks like a fat pigeon. Still manages to waltz past our lot mind you.

[euro Hibby]

First time I have seen them. Logged on for the second half. Diabilical !! Apparently reading here Hibs were good first half........! or were Celtic just so ........poor !!

[The_Todd]

We are awful. Truly beyond pathetic. Colin and Rod I've backed you but now its time to go.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

We do not deserved this.


Petrie go now!!!

Don't worry, with the free cup top ups and terrible crowd tonight, the coffers have well and truly collapsed at Hibs. A game that would have pulled in 15 or 16 thousand in 2007 now can't get 10k even when most of the tickets have been given away from FREE tells your everything about this current Hibs side, Hibs manager and the running of our club generally. CC and Petrie are papering over chasms and in complete denial about the the underlying problems within the club. Only by exorcising CC and Petrie from the club can we start the process of ridding the club of this cancer.

Can't see the Forrest for the paling stabs.

[cabbageandribs1875]

take galbraith off again ffs

[frazeHFC]

Who is this co-comentator. He is delighted Celtic are ahead. Bias ****.

[steakbake]

Calderwood can't get us playing for 90mins. Pallson is having a mare at Hibs. 1st half excellent, 2nd half as poor as I've seen us.

If you thought we'd turned a corner, I'm afraid it's into a cul de sac.

[Frazerbob]

Don't think there is a manager in the world that could get this team playing football, the only two players that have any mobility sadly don't have ability.
Still, don't have to worry about O'Connor going to celtic anytime

It's Calderwwod's team. He signed most of them and kept the rest.

[Andy74]

I'm glad we went for quality and not quantity this time though.

That's it in a nutshell, I thought the first half was a turnaround for us, playing well attacking etc, 2nd half it's as if they don't give a f@&k.

[frazeHFC]

What do we do on Saturday? Defensive or attacking formation? Attacking worked tonight in the first half, but we are too weak defensively and will concede goals.

[Frazerbob]

sounds like craig paterson, so i doubt very much he will be delighted

Pat Nevin in the studio so we can hardly complain!
