Official Match Day Thread: Hibernian 0 - 2 Dundee United

[jon paul jones]

Hibernian renew rivalries with the Dundee Hibernian at the Leith San Siro in the first of eight (league) "cup finals to maintain our status in the top flight of scottish football.

BBC Weather has Leith basked in endless grey with temperatures peaking at 9-11 degrees

Will we see a repeat of a six goal thriller back in September?

What are your score predictions and key players today

Is anyone buying their season ticket and cup ticket in one fell swoop and still have money left over for a pint in the FF

Wherever you are in the ground, get involved with some positive encouragement to the team please

[/B]:pfgwa GGTTH :not worth[/SIZE]

[The Harp]

Yeah, looking forward to the game and praying for three points.:pray:
Might get my Cup ticket today if there's not a big queue. Won't be renewing my season ticket 'til after Tues when I'll officially become an auld codger!:rolleyes:
Enjoy the game!
'Mon the Hibees!:flag:

[jon paul jones]

Thanks, i intend to. If Hibs are going to win, we HAVE to score first and then tighten up and play to our strength on the break. Keep our back line at a decent distance outside the penalty box and hold on to the ball, play for throws/corners when on the wings and apply decent pressure when you have the ascendency in the game.

In Pat we have to trust.

Clap those hands

[down-the-slope]

Hows the Har at the coast...only just burning away out here in EL..couldnt see the field opposite a couple of hours ago

I've watched Hibs for over 30 years, I dinnae think we do decent throw ins/corners.

[cabbageandribs1875]

wow, that's a sair font :(

[Keith_M]

Alles Gute to the Hibees today.


Any team news, injuries, suspensions, head-buttings?

[Wotherspiniesta]

Good to get Osbourne back today. Think we missed him last week. Hopefully McPake mcmakes it.

[Don Giovanni]

It's certainly brighter on the Southern shore of the Forth than it is on the the Tyne or Tweed - its like pea soup on the in places on the way up!

Anyway, I think I'm right in saying that the Arabs are the form team in Scotland at the moment so fingers crossed we can dae 'the unexpected' and claim a hame win!

[SteveHFC]

Stack

Francomb
Doherty
Hanlon
Kujabi

Soares
Claros
Stevenson
Osbourne

O'Donovan

[Hainan Hibs]

Bit crap to see McPake hasn't made it, but good to see Osbourne back.

[number9dream]

No width in that team at all - really need the full-backs pushing on at every opportunity...

[greenlex]

Hanlon and Doherty need to be on their metal against Daly

[SteveHFC]

Hanlon and Doherty need to be on their metal against Daly and Russell

Sorted that for you :)

[hibsbollah]

No width in that team at all - really need the full-backs pushing on at every opportunity...

Soares should offer width. Hopefully he plays better than his derby brian kerr-esque display.

[down-the-slope]

In the ground and the Haar is rolling back in already - might be a bit dodgy if it keeps going. Only the big hoardings in NE and SE corners keeping it at bay right now

[HH81]

Mon Hibs 3 points today.

[down-the-slope]

Either half the FF are smoking or Haar is getting worse...

That Leith sunshine needs to get to work up above

[down-the-slope]

Lewis Captain

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

coming across the bridge the rail bridge was completely hidden by the fog. Decent arab support in though.

[snooky]

Lewis Captain
Congratulations, Lewis! :applause:
Hope ye score today with a 20 yarder - a Stevenson Rocket you could say.

[Northernhibee]

Wee Lewis 100% deserves the captains armband, if we had a team of players with his attitude we'd be winning the treble:flag:

20 in the last 17!! 35 for the season.

He would have been in the last squad for Slovenia had it not been for the crucial under 21's qualifier the same day. He'll go to the US if available.

Couldn't make today but going by the radio sounded like a lively opening. Couple of chances each with United maybe shading it.

Died away the last few minutes and a bit of a lack of quality in the final 3rd from both teams.

Dunfernilne losing though so that's good.

ffs, we get ourselves sitting far too deep, we have no battle in midfield and we have fat Gaz waddling up front who I would swap for Nish, Trakys, Duffy any day nowadays. Fenlon's got an impossible task, it's been like this for years now and considering how many players we've changed,managers we've changed, it's clear that the problem is bigger than at managers level, the rot has set in well and truly with our club and has done for some time.

Look at any previous match threads, I've been one of the more positive people on this board, games like this are just happening too often.

[cabbageandribs1875]

I never left games early but this season I've found myself strolling out with 15 minutes still to play or just not bothering to go at all.

I've said it before but apathy is far worse than anger but that's exactly what's happening with previously loyal supporters at the moment.

Without wanting to encourage more melodrama on this board I'm utterly perplexed at how we've been able to change managers and teams regularly for over a half a decade without any discernible improvement.

Tbh I'm actually starting sympathize with the board. No matter how much they change things the end result seems the same.

He should walk now cause he is killing our clubNow is probably not the time for this discussion, but I don't see what else he could be doing.

[carnoustiehibee]

Exactly what it is. Apathy. Have never thought I'd leave this early.

We've been had with the claros boy aswell. Pitbull my arse.

And yes northern- anyone who can cone claim a cross and a defender who can anything else but punt it as far as he can.

[Dalkeith]

2 shots on target at home!!

[Cropley10]

Who does Fenlon have to actually replace Stack and Hanlon? Brown and O'Hanlon?

Yep - like a comedy of errors. Brown can't get past Stack and O'Hanlon isn't even an option.

But hey this is our signing policy...

[SkintHibby]

Tbh I'm actually starting sympathize with the board. No matter how much they change things the end result seems the same.

The board are the common factor here then. That tells me where the problem lies.:agree:

I have no sympathy with the board.

For me, the blame lies entirely with them for allowing Yogi then Calderwood to destroy our club, when CC was dealing with his sweeties we should have sacked and publicly shamed the dick. Instead we stood by him and look at us now.

FWIW, I'd rather see Doyle than O'onovan,won't defend him on that. Claros - I don't see who we replace him with, same with Hanlon.

As I say, you're focusing on the wrong target. The board is what should be in our sights.

[SloopJB]

What does fenlon see in odonavan, Hanlon, claros etc? He watches the same game as us.

Perhaps a little more than those they have replaced. January is a bad time to try to get players and we failed on some targets so we have what we have.

Still to play for

[Cropley10]

Stack was at fault for the 2nd goal.

Stack has 7 games left in a Hibs shirt I hope. Worst keeper in the division.

Yeh id play Doyle aswell, thought he did ok the 1st few games. Claros- maybe one of the kids u mentioned. Hanlon- anyone. Especially today v daly I'd played ohanlon or we're Stevens gone?

This is fenlons team now, he takes the flak. Nobody wanted the ball or looked comfy. Fwiw I woulda kept sodje

False. I assume you've not watched Dunfermline this season?

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

The board is what should be in our sights.

Agreed but what's going to happen here?, nothing IMO, if anyone gets something together for a protest of any sort hardly anyone ever turns up and as usual the board will pat us on the head and tell us to run along as it's nearly tea time.

I want first and foremost Farmer to sell the club PUBLICLY not behind the scenes but out in front for a tender, name your price and see what happens, if no sale then we will be stuck with him and this miserable board for ever, and if we do get a buyer then shut that frigging East Mains down as it has done zero for us since the day it has opened.

That is all....:rolleyes:

Totally agree, at least he was a powerfull centre forward who could score goals and win the ball in the air. Garry is nowhere near fit and the two Irish guys are no better than failed strikers we've seen in the past. There is no conection between midfield and the forwards as the midfield plays on top of the defence. We are always second to every ball because of this. The tactics look all wrong to me and its just repeated week after week. We dont do anything from set peices and the whole thing looks a shambles. Sad times. :confused:

[truehibernian]

He's got lots of tattoos,he's hard.Stick with him. :) :)

Smokes, spent most of his Hibs career on treatment table, gets arrested in nightclubs, but is hard (allegedly) and uses Facebook to be a 'top man' - a typical Hibernian recruit and characterizes the 'discipline' at the club.

Can't wait til he gets shown the door and we get proper professionals and young blood in the side. Poor keeper, off form and Fenlon should shoulder some blame for sticking by him.

The two United scorers today.....plundered from the lower leagues by good scouting and good contacts. A team that picks itself, and a chairman who loves his football, is approachable to the fans, not afraid to do media interviews and take stick, and who has stuck by his last two managers (as did his father). Fans who also have realistic expectations and don't boo from the first minute after a misplaced pass. How anyone could be surprised we didn't win today is beyond me. Hibernian could learn from Dundee Hibernian :agree:

Oh, and First Division here we come - it may also be the only chance we get to remove Petrie, Scott, Fyfe and this so called 'Scouting Coordinator'.......that's where my finger is pointed firmly. Would never ever wish for relegation, however it could be a blessing in disguise in a perverse way. Underperforming managers get the sack - I'd say Scott, Fyfe and this Woodison fellow need their jotters pronto - they've failed miserably in their roles IMHO. And Rod- sorry, he's now fast becoming an untouchable. Do the right thing Mr Petrie and step aside, and allow someone to come in with fresh ideas, a youthful energy and zest for football and life........the club is on life support and the switch is about to be turned off.

While I agree with most of this Johnny Russel has been at Utd since he was youngster. But when the last time we signed someone from lower leagues that was a success.

Great reply, and your remedy is????.....

[Emerald]

I have a positive feeling about Fenlon.The fact he keeps picking Stack is a worry. I'm hoping that he feels that Stack is the best of a bad bunch of keepers he's got.
I hope the members of this site who have backed this clown are feeling even a tad sheepish!

I'm not trying to mean anything by this but why do so many people come on here and say they have a possitive feeling about Fenlon. What are you basing this on? He must have the worst record of a Hibs manager ever. Hibs should have gone for a tried and tested manager who had SPL sxperience. Not saying PF wont be a good manager and he did have his work cut out for him BUT judging by what I've seen he just doesnt cut it. Just because he's a wee lovable Irish chappie doesnt mean he's going to be great.

False. I assume you've not watched Dunfermline this season?

Ian Turner is a far better keeper than Stack. Stack is all that's wrong with this Club.

Great reply, and your remedy is????.....

Look, everyone is fed up at the moment, but you have made a statement with no back up - bit like saying I want to win the lottery, so give me the six number's.

Look at the huns, but they are a much bigger commercial buisness than us - look at the state of them, and the lack of bidders -most are vultures.

So whilst we are all frustrated, getting rid of STF is NOT the answer, and we would regret it.

Re your tender idea, you may want to think about what certain bidders for Rangers have done for other clubs - unless you know another bidder?

Dundee United are no world beaters yet if you go through the two line-UPS today I think you could make a pretty good argument for them being stronger in every single position!!! So whilst defeat today is no surprise it is alarming how much weaker we are than a team with a much smaller support and lower wage budget.
