[Craig_in_Prague]

[Franck Stanton]

Seems we like nigh time games, am now glad the New Year derby is an evening kick - off. Well done Hibs, great result, AND a clean sheet to boot. Hope the defence has tightened up for rest of season. Great 3 points tonight, really pleased. Now if Ross County can win this really will be a Carlsberg weekend.

[essexhibee]

Is this real? Four?! :confused:

[Hibstrooper]

I effing love hibs

[NOLA]

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Brilliant result and a clean sheet. GGTTH.

[Onion]

Great to hear the Hibs fans enjoying themselves, Sparky showboating and *knowing* you've got this one in the bag. Great response from last weekend. Fenlon may be the real deal afetr all :agree:

[Stuarty27]

Leigh interview!! Tremendous

[stoneyburn hibs]

[SteveHFC]

Yassssssssssssssss

[Matty_Jack04]

Leigh interview!! Tremendous

Ffs I turned over and missed the chat what did he say?

[YehButNoBut]

Leigh interview!! Tremendous

Said he did not think the first pen was a penalty, I thought it was a definate penalty.

Also said with the 2nd one that the goalie asked him which side he was going and he told him the same side, but he still could not stop it. :thumbsup:

[Jim Herriot]

Only four nil away? Who should we sack this week? :-)

[patlowe]

When was the last time we won by 4 goals away from home ?

According to SPLstats, the last 4 times we've scored 4 or more away from home have been at Fir Park.

[Golden Bear]

The first penalty was a stonewaller. The keeper had a grip of Griffiths jersey and held him back. Pity the pundits did not seem fit to mention that.

Won by 4 ?

[Steviethebear]

Excellent workrate, excellent tactics, happy days!

[Craig_in_Prague]

Won by 4 ?

we hammered well 6-1? under Mowbray

All just bitter Huns who are in love with McCall (the next Sevco Manager).

Just ignore them, they don't matter. 0-4 tells you all you need to know :greengrin

[down-the-slope]

Anyone notice Sparky had a Sect 43 scarf on at the end :greengrin.......

[stoneyburn hibs]

we hammered well 6-1? under Mowbray

2005 ?

[Westie1875]

we hammered well 6-1? under Mowbray

JC wasn't it?

[Scorrie]

we hammered well 6-1? under Mowbray

Did Collins not win 6-1 there as manager as well?

[Golden Bear]

JC wasn't it?

Yip, I think so.

[Onceinawhile]

Yip, I think so.

Was Defo jc. Ivan was outstanding.

[HibsNZ]

Friday night football every week please, got ta watch the game at 7-45am Saturday NZ time with my wee 9 month old laddie, and after the game was finished
got ta sing him ta sleep with a rendition of 4 nil to the Hibees. Happy days :) Thought Wotherspoon was outstanding!

[Hiber-nation]

I'm reading about biased TV commentators etc but they were 100% fair. We got the breaks, its about time we got some and we took them. The clean sheet should build confidence going into the next 2 home games and hopefully the result will get a good few more punters through the gates. Canny wait.

[Gatecrasher]

Good result for the Hibees tonight

Ok Motherwell should have had a goal but we got 4!
Good to see Handling get one as well:thumbsup:

[Craig_in_Prague]

Was Defo jc. Ivan was outstanding.

yes under JC indeed.

[SJNB Hibby]

yes under JC indeed.

was 2006, very early in JC's stint--November. I know cos it was my first Hibs game in 20 years

[SneakersO'Toole]

Luck? We haven't had any in 2 years. Tonight we got what we deserved through a solid work ethic, teamwork and perseverance. You make your own luck 9/10 in this game.

[Iggy Pope]

Just seen a replay of that and he has a hold of Leigh's baws as well! Lucky not to see a red or at the very least a move to EH11 with those other monsters.

[cabbageandribs1875]

just back, what a ****** stupendous night all round :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Iggy Pope]

According to SPLstats, the last 4 times we've scored 4 or more away from home have been at Fir Park.

Is that right? I recall 4 at both Dens and Tannadice around 2004-05. We've scored 4 at Motherwell 4 times since then?

[LancashireHibby]

I thought Sparky was quite clever with the penalty - he wasn't going anywhere really but managed to lull the keeper in to fouling him anyway. We had the rub of the green at times but we still had to take our chances.

6-1 under Collins, Nov 2006

4-1 under Mixu, 2008/09 - the one good performance that season. Fletcher scored a great goal IIRC

6-6, nuff said

tonight

[sparkiedelpaco7]

This is one of my favourite games and one I believe should be shown more often.

The defending was phenomenal. We hunted in packs all across the park and had amazing teamwork. Also, We turned the hard work into goals

[hibIBZ]

good result
would of liked to see us retain possession a bit more and still think we are a bit shakey at the back but overall fantastic result, good work ethic took our chances and fully desrved it

Craigan was slaughtering the Hibs tactics (Cairney in the middle, Doyle wide left) during the first half.

Worked a treat IMO

Was he? I thought he was pretty complimentary about the way Hibs had set up. And he was right.

think the guys talking about the 6-1 game :dunno:

[Hibercelona]

Hearts fans saying that we only won due to a bent Irish (even although Scottish) referee and them wearing Motherwell down for us.

Throbbers the lot of them. :faf:

Bingo. 4-1 under Mixu went completely off my radar and now I recall Deano also being tremendous that day. |Fir Park eh? It's barry.

the pundits wouldn't have got a clear view because of the angle to be fair, the south stand was the best angle for seeing it imo

[Part/Time Supporter]

Was he? I thought he was pretty complimentary about the way Hibs had set up. And he was right.

As the game wore on he changed his tune. First 25-30 minutes he was questioning why Doyle & Cairney had been switched.

i didn't notice that at the time, i was thinking it was just a matter of time before motherwell scored we just couldn't get a kick/hold onto the ball for the first 20-odd mins(imo) so if that's what PF done then that was one helluva good tactical switch :agree:

[Franck Stanton]

We seem to score a lot of goals at Fir Park in evening games. Do you think we should rent the place and play all our home games there on Friday nights ?

Motherwell - and the Jambos - can greet all they like. Nothing wrong with the first, nothing wrong with the second or fourth. 3rd was a foul outside the box, and thier goal that wasn't given, well, Higdon was all over McPake, so we could argue that all day. We could have also argued that Higdon should have recieved a straight red for the "tackle" on Taiwo - it was reckless, and a potential leg breaker,

What else would they like to discuss?

The first goal was a cracker. Goalkeeper hadn't an earthly of getting anywhere near it, and not only was it a great shot it was a beautifully-worked move leading up to it.

The first penalty was a stonewaller. End of.

The second I initially thought was another stonewaller, but looking at it now on the wee out-take clips, it looks to me as if the tackle was just - only just - outside the 18-yard line, but it was a close call, and from the angle the referee was from it, it must have been very hard to call.

As you say, Higdon was fouling McPake all night, and his 'tackle' on Taiwo was indeed a shocker. All in all he was very lucky to last the 90 minutes plus.

As for the Motherwell 'goal' that was disallowed - well, Rangers had one just like it disallowed at Stirling the other week. It's happened in the EPL recently - at Fulham? It's happened to us in the past. And it's happened in the World Cup even more spectacularly than it happened to Motherwell last night. It happens. Officials should be up with the play and in the right position to make the right call, but sometimes they make mistakes, and when they do, the fans of the club that suffers complain bitterly. That's what fans do.

Ben Williams did the right thing - he got to the ball, scooped it out of the goal, and played to the whistle.

All told I thought we played well tonight - there's a fair bit of skill in the team now, and a very pleasing willingness to work hard for the full match. The players look fitter, too. PF seems to be getting there.

All I want for Christmas now are contract extensions for Messrs Claros, Griffiths, and McGivern.

And for the Yams to lose their appeal against HMRC, default on the debt, be put into administration and DIE.

:agree: One of the best Hibs performances from the entire team I have seen. Boozy and Thomson were outstanding before Thommo got injured again.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I've had a hard on since the full time whistle went, and it probably last all weekend. Who needs Viagra.....

In fairness to Craigan he was much better in 2nd half I thought.
