Hibernian FC vs Kilmarnock FC: Scottish Cup ( 1 - 0 Full Time )

[Sylar]

I've never started a Match Updates thread, so I'm sticking my neck out today and giving it a bash!

Early team news suggests that Doherty and Kujabi and O'Donovan are in the squad for today, though Claros has flown home to Honduras, awaiting paperwork to come through.

How is the weather in Edinburgh today!?

Mon' the Cabbage! :thumbsup::flag:

Hopeful for today, Killie haven't been great recently and hopefully our new players will be desperate to impress! Van Nishtelrooy on here said that their defence was as bad as ours before our new signings so I'm quite confident :agree:

2-1 Hibs Mcpake header and late Doyle winner :flag:

I think it's just a pity that all the games we have this month, that the cup game is first, it would have been nice to give the new boys some game time, but fingers crossed it will be a baptism if fire for them . I'll take a scrappy 1-0 win , anything higher will be a bonus ( first clean sheet in however long........ Miracles do happen)

I'd imagine the pubs will be mental today with the egg-chasing fans getting lashed prior to heading to Murrayfield.

Snow in Dunders is pathetic - supposed to get heavier later on, but I don't think it's supposed to hit Embra.

Lots of games off in England mind you.

Actually, and I reckon I may get shot down for this, I think a cup game is good, as it does give them a competitive run out, great if we win, however the aim is SPL survival, and for that we need to get them playing together as a team, with all these new signing and little preparation time, the more cometitive games we have that can't have an effect on our league status the better.

TBH I do want to see the cup at ER however I don't think 1 more year will matter too much, if we lose today.

[PatHead]

Wind cuts you in two, absolutely freezing, don't forget the hat, gloves and double socks

Looks good on paper. I'd say the only reason Spoony is in the team is because Claros can't play. Nice to see Ivan not starting. I have always believed his use is as an impact player.

id say that when claros is able to play he will replace stevenson in the middle. claros is a defensive midfielder so assuming he will play behind ozzy with sores/francombe in the right and spoony/danny/sproule/booth/anyone else who gets thrown on the left on the wing :wink:

Having the luxury Sproule on the bench (big asset) instead of the starting line up (liability) is like signing a new player in itself. Already looks a proper balanced side instead of a hodgepodge of guys who don't know what they're doing.

Perhaps, but none of them are there just now.

They keep just talking about the "Open all Mics" coverage coming up - the BBC Sportscotland website seems to suggest that live text updates and via sportsound, thus inferring there's no specific live coverage of the game.

Hopefully I'm wrong with that!

There hasn't been many match updates from the "commentary team" to be honest but.......

Apparently our "defence has been solid", we've had a goal wrongly chalked off for a foul on their keeper, Doyle has had a couple of chances to get his second, Soares (I think) hit the post and our lead is "thoroughly deserved".

So it's sounding like we're playing quite good imo :greengrin

Definitely an improvement.

[hibsbollah]

We've been playing without a right back for about 3 years so not much difference. :greengrin

Docherty is clearly quality everytime he touches the ball, but he looks like hes playing RCB not RB...maybe he just gives more space away than weve been used to seeing at ER because hes more confident in his pace? it almost looks like a 3 centreback formation at times.

One Hanlon 'not marking' aside, we look solid at the back. Tom Soares is dangerous going forward.

Yep, damn auto-correct. I meant "playing" - nobody has been applying a coat of metal to anything on the park, as far as in aware.

Look at what Motherwell and Killie have been achieving. The SPL is rank rotten and you wouldn't need to be much more than organised and carrying a bit of consistency and threat to be right up there and to be threatening in cups too. If Fenlon is the guy we think he is and if he's made the signings we think he has then you can put that together with some confidence and team spirit and suddenly you have a lot of possibilities.

Wonder what PF's formation is going to be once he gets sorted. Ozzy Soares and Claros in the middle with Lewis.

I assume that Ozzy and Claros will play in the middle, so it might be Spoony that stays in the team.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Christ we haven't won at home since September! Never knew it was that long..

Yip, bet that's the HT pep talk for Killie. The real proof of this new look Hibs team will be if they can continue playing well into the 2nd.

[One Day Soon]

Yep, damn auto-correct. I meant "playing" - nobody has been applying a coat of metal to anything on the park, as far as in aware.

And how about just as far as you are aware? Sorry couldn't resist that.

I thought that the term 'plating' or 'plater' had a more oral meaning. Ya git me?

[Sean1875]

Lewis Horner scores for east stirling.

Is that the Horner who is out on loan from us?

Correct :agree:

[R'Albin]

Chris Kamara's hat :faf:

[Aldo]

A headache that PF will have but a good one at that. From what I'm hearing there is a bit more balance to the team. Mind LG is due back but if Doyle keeps scoring he may struggle to get back in.

I've just loaned him out on Championship Manager too.

Another option would be Claros, Lewis and Ozzy in the middle of a five, with Soares and Leigh left and right.

[R'Albin]

Good save from Bell off of Doyle "Great play from Kujabe" :aok:

Preston: "Kujabi - Roberto Carlos' nemesis"

Just a wee tip Allan, don't use words you don't know the meaning of.

[R'Albin]

Queen of the south :thumbsup:

[Dinkydoo]

Go on Queens!

[Onceinawhile]

Aberdeen 1 down. More Spl teams that go out the better:agree:

[Moulin Yarns]

Normal service resumes at Pittodrie

Dons 0 QOS 1 :greengrin

[Lofarl]

Listening to this on Hbs radio is a nightmare. Everytime I hear a different Surname ****** has the ball I think, who for?

[Aldo]

Think we now have the quality (or some anyway) to be able to change things about if needed. Hopefully we will do okay today. TBH nice distraction from the league but getting up the table is the most important thing IMHO.

[hibsbollah]

Kujabi looked like Zouma there. Hibs player in 'running wi the baw' shock.

[oldbiker]

"Hibs are defending well" long time since a radio pundit said that:thumbsup:

[SquashedFrogg]

Think we now have the quality (or some anyway) to be able to change things about if needed. Hopefully we will do okay today. TBH nice distraction from the league but getting up the table is the most important thing IMHO.

There's a thought. What would your thoughts be if we won the cup but got relegated? :confused:

Nah **** that, we're going to win the cup.

[DAVE1875]

Chris Kamara must have a pile of hats next to him, everytime they go to him it's a different one :faf:

[pogo]

"Great block from McPake about 7 yards out, ball going in. Hibs defence looking solid":shocked:

[supershotmo]

Need a second goal though before Preston jizzes in his boxers.

[Dinkydoo]

And how about just as far as you are aware? Sorry couldn't resist that.

I thought that the term 'plating' or 'plater' had a more oral meaning. Ya git me?

Think I'm going to fall out with my iPod today.

I have to admit, no, I don't :hilarious:

[Lofarl]

I know I am expecting a sucker punch. It is still Hibs mind.

[Aldo]

There's a thought. What would your thoughts be if we won the cup but got relegated? :confused:

Squashed the '64,000' dollar question my friend??

This is a hard one. Sorry don't want relegated so would rather we stayed in the league?

[LamontHFC©]

Radio saying Killie coming back into it..

[one day maybe...]

Need a second goal though before Preston jizzes in his boxers.

:agree: come on Hibs get a second

[nonshinyfinish]

"Hibs back four looking very solid"

Can anyone translate this into a sentence that makes logical sense? :confused:

[Onceinawhile]

sounds like mcpake is playing well. Shame we will miss him next week.

[Hainan Hibs]

Sounds like McPake is performing well at the back.

Killie have the momentum just now however, need to turn it around and finish them off.

Mon the cabbage.

[SquashedFrogg]

Squashed the '64,000' dollar question my friend??

Obviously don't want to be relegated but it's a tricky one to answer.

What if we win the cup, get relegated but the yams go bust? :wink:

I guess the league status is the most important...

[Franck Stanton]

Killie coming more and more into the game and Hibs being forced to defend deeper and deeper, however this is a completly different Hibs team with players willing to throw themselves to block any shots at goal - Preston seems quite impressed with our new guys

[Dan Sarf]

Just finished work and going mad trying to find the BBC commentary link amongst all that black and yellow East Fife s***te.

Anyone got it please?

No individual game coverage - just open all mics.

Thanks nonshiny!

Open All Mouths it is then.

Motherwell 6-0 Morton

Holy ***** now there's a thought. Yeah win cup get relegated but heay that shower go out of business. Would suit me.

(ps still don't want relegated. Can you say stay up by the skin if oor baws, win the cup and they are officially deed as a club?)

[Sylar]

Aberdeen equalise

What are the lottery numbers going to be tonight? :greengrin

[Hibs90]

What was Doyles goal like?

[Moulin Yarns]

Just finished work and going mad trying to find the BBC commentary link amongst all that black and yellow East Fife s***te.

It doesn't exist. I've complained, and told them real football fans want commentary and not a bunch of blokes having a chat over a few pints.

[PapillonVert]

Priority must be to stay up but, if (mighty massively big IF) we won that competition whose name we dare not mention, then I would be in a state of constant euphoria for about a year so I probably wouldn't notice we were in the 1st Division! :greengrin

[BroxburnHibee]

Change coming I think

I'd take Witherspoon off

[DAVE1875]

Chris Kamara for PM!! :faf:

[Dan Sarf]

Totally agree. Pathetic babbling rubbish. No use to anyone.

[nonshinyfinish]

Sproule, O'Donovan on; O'Connor, Doyle off.

[R'Albin]

Doyle, O'Connor off Ivan and O'Donavon on.. Finally Ivan being used as he should be :agree:

[Onceinawhile]

sproule and O'Donovan on

GO'c and Doyle off

[Aldo]

Doyle, O'Connor off Ivan and O'Donavon on.. Finally Ivan being used as he should be :agree:

We shall see mate. Sproule needs a big 20 tbh cos he's been totally and utterly gash this season.

[supershotmo]

Can see O'Donovan getting the second from an Ivan Sproule shot come cross.

[Franck Stanton]

Double substitution for Hibs, Super-sub Ivan on for Doyle cannae see the other one òops, already posted - sorry)

[R'Albin]

We shall see mate. Sproule needs a big 20 tbh cos he's been totally and utterly gash this season.

:agree:

[HibeeEmma]

I can't get the radio working - as I'm on the iPad. Are Hibs still looking strong? I can see the possession is becoming more equal:bitchy:

Should we be expecting a last minute equaliser?

[Nando™]

Did O'Connor do anything of note?

[Aldo]

Can see O'Donovan getting the second from an Ivan Sproule shot come cross.

Hope your right. Let's see if they can concentrate till the end. Defend like a team... From the front. Clean sheet and win would be a very good morale booster.

[Bigbobajob]

C'mon hibs see this one out!

[Franck Stanton]

C'mon Ref, do us a favour and blow for full time, we dont need the rest of the time.

[R'Albin]

What the hell just happened to open all mics?

[KWJ]

:worried:

Where'd the radio go!?

[Sylar]

Erm, ouch....

[jamieross]

WTF is going on with OAM?

[KWJ]

And we're back.

MON THE HIBEES!

[Lofarl]

Hibs radios ok chaps we are still winning but Killie are coming more into it. There is a nervousness from the crowd.

[Dan Sarf]

WTF is going on with OAM?


Someone spilled their pint into the microphone. Quite pleased for the short break from all that babbling.

[Billy McKirdy]

Scott on for Spoony!!

[Aldo]

Squeeky butt time!

[Hibby D]

This is when we need the crowd to get right behind the team and put their nerves to one side.

Kind of glad I'm not there at the moment :cb

[nonshinyfinish]

Come on Hibs, don't throw this away.

[KWJ]

Hay off for Silva. Made for Ivan counter attack stuff!

He's here, he's there, he's every ******* where!

[matty_f]

This is when we need the crowd to get right behind the team and put their nerves to one side.

Kind of glad I'm not there at the moment :cb

Totally agree re: the crowd. I've had to work today so this is torture. Sent my dad with my son to the game in my place. Gutted to be missing it. Much rather be biting my nails seeing what's going on than sat here, tbh.

'Mon Hibs! :flag:

[hibee]

Did O'Connor do anything of note?

Nothing at all!

[nonshinyfinish]

Hay off for Silva. Made for Ivan counter attack stuff!

He's here, he's there, he's every ******* where!

I know it's not *the* David Silva, but I still **** myself every time I see that name lining up against us.

[KWJ]

Good lad Deano!

[Sylar]

FFS! What a pish time to chuck an advert into the coverage!!!!!

[R'Albin]

Aww just **** off!

[KWJ]

FFS why have they changed the feed to the rugby when you've gone through the OAM part of the website!!

Better!

Save Stacky!

[nonshinyfinish]

Jesus f***, BBC Scotland are incompetent. :bitchy:

[Hainan Hibs]

Flashbacks of the time under Mowbray with that tune :greengrin

[Franck Stanton]

C'mon Hibs, previous poster stating he was biting his nails, nails? I'way past them near to my elbows now, blow that final whistle NOW

[Aldo]

FFS ref. just blow the whistle please
