St Johnstone 0 v Hibs 1 FT

[hibsbollah]

No sign of Calgary, like me a lot of fans will be leaving straight from work so i thought id get the weather forecast in early :aok:

Its a cold dry outlook for Edinburgh today but Perth is significantly colder this evening, by 7pm there is forecast to be icy patches on roads so the M9 will require care and attention. Matchtime temperatures will fluctuate between zero and -2C. Wind not a factor at 5mph from a westerly direction, the barometer is almost off the scale at a headache-inducing 1021 mb. I highly recommend three or four layers tonight and thermals if at all possible.

Lets go top of the league in a warm and comfortable manner :flag:

[Pretty Boy]

The Hibsbollah weather update is gaining ground on Dashing Bobs fashion advice as my favourite Hibs.net subject.

:agree: I don't know how I ever managed without it.

Can't make it tonight, piled up with uni work, but I can't decide whether to keep an eye on the match updates or keep myself in the dark and then watch the delayed coverage on BBC Alba at 10pm.

[Moulin Yarns]

I can confirm, here in the centre of Perth, that it is a blue sky with wispy clouds, and a light northerly breeze, sun is shining and everything is good to go.

This will be only my 3rd game this season, Tannadice and Dens being the others, so get your money on the Perth Saintees scoring 3 :rolleyes:

[Manxhibs]

Tonight's game will be my dads first game in 2 and a half years as he lives in Vancouver. Lets hope it's sees us return to the top of the league!

[Lucius Apuleius]

I fear the worst without Calgary. It is simply yonks since DBS tried to give us some fashion advice as well. Possibly not so important now we are at the other end of the table? I would disagree and think that now we are up there we should be setting even higher standards of sartorial elegance.

Anyway, fekn scorchio on the Slave Coast again!

[hibeedonald]

Hibs are 5/2 on Betfair, not a bad price!

[Hibee87]

Its a tough decision that I to am swaying over....I do fear though that if I watch the smellies humping the even bigger smellies it might come up if we score on the screen.

He also missed out on starting last Saturday's Match thread and look what happened. Pull your socks up man or yer first team place must be in jeopardy.

:wink:

[Bobby's Cinema]

Good luck tonight Hibs :agree:

[hibIBZ]

think i will go for bbc alba and not bother watching the smellies trying to beat the yams sitting in for a 0-0 like the weekend

[Leishy1995]

We've won 2 of 12 visits to their ground, our last win was in 02 thanks to a Derek Townsley goal according to @SPLStats

I never knew this.

[andrew70]

Chris Townsley?? Plays for Berwick. I assume they mean Derek Townsley.

[Leishy1995]

Chris Townsley?? Plays for Berwick. I assume they mean Derek Townsley.

My mistake, seen it wrong. It is Derek I'll amend it!

[andrew70]

No probs mate. I thought they had messed it up on twitter. Good time to go and get our first win in a while up there then. Fingers crossed!

[Leishy1995]

I'd like to see some goals from midfield tonight, maybe some young lad come on and net one aswell. If we lose and Hearts win the league is basically open.

[HibeeN]

Its a tough decision that I to am swaying over....I do fear though that if I watch the smellies humping the even bigger smellies it might come up if we score on the screen.

Yeah that's a good point. Oh well, looks like I will be turning the radio, TV and internet off, keep myself with uni work till 10 and then watch the delayed coverage. :greengrin Better hope nobody texts me with the score!

[The Sea-gull]

I know they are all good to win and the last couple which we have unfortunately lost. Well not so much unfortunately in the Dundee game but definitely v Aberdeen. Still a defeat is dissappoiting whatever shape it comes in. Had we even got 3 points at Dundee and a draw with Aberdeen we would be three points clear at the top and 6 ahead of Aberdeen. That said, we did get fortunate-ish wins against St Mirren and Dundee United in the games before them. The Motherwell away game, despite being 4-0 to us could easily have been a draw had a bit of luck not gone our way. Those games are gone now so onwards and upwards, hopefully upwards anyway.

Now that last nights games have been played a win tonight would be good for the following reasons:-

-it would put 7-9 points worth of daylight between Kilmarnock, Dundee United and Hearts (assuming they lose or draw)
-we'd go 6 clear of St Johnstone
-we'd give ourselves a couple of points cushion over ICT and Aberdeen
-if Celtic win at least we'd keep pace with them, only be a point behind
-if Celtic lose or draw we would be top!

The league is so tight just now, so much can happen on a week to week basis!

[Craig_in_Prague]

yep, as it's an alba game... expecting to 'see' this game online,
perhaps even through Bet365 - not checked yet as still at work....
but hopefully get home and settled and see us finally pump the saintees on their own patch.

[iwasthere1972]

For anyone who is not going to Perth and can avoid hearing the Hibs score (turn off TV, radio, mobile phone, computer etc etc and send the wife out to bingo - in fact maybe an idea that you go to bed and set your alarm for 9.50pm) you can watch it "live" on BBC Alba at 9.55pm.

Alba available on:

- Freeview channel 8
- Virgin Media channel 188
- Sky channel 168
- Freesat channel 110

The commentary will be in garlic but that's better than we normally get

:pfgwa :pfgwa

[Golden Bear]

I'll be watching THEM v Celtic and relying on the official text updates to keep me informed of the score in the game of the night at McDiarmid Park.

Dependant on the result I may watch BBC Alba at 9:55.

:pray:

[Moulin Yarns]

Latest weather from sunny Perth. Who nicked the sun??!

Gonna be freezin.

[Ell_Chrisso]

Is there a reason why we think this is a win tonight? Saints are Favs with the bookies for a reason. We will only get points if we score 1st

[Jones28]

Going to be tough! Still winable though, GGTTH:flag:

I'm going to be a prophet of doom tonight and sadly I'll go for a 2-0 defeat.

However I have been known to be wrong before but that's quite a few years back.

[Pretty Boy]

Well that's our bad half out the way, bit of a tradition this season.

Hopefully we get the ball down and pass it in the 2nd half, we are a far better team when we do that.

[SMAXXA]

We look terrible tonight we have offered nothing in the final third as we did on a number of occasions on Saturday. I dont think we give enough of the ball to Cairney, spoony has seen it a number of times and keeps running into players.

Poor vewy vewy poor.

Big performance in the second half lads come on

Hibs Never Ever win up there, if we win tonight it would all be water Under The Bridge I suppose.

I get it.

[blackpoolhibs]

We have defended ok, but our wide midfielders have been very poor and provided next to nothing. Thats resulted in us having had virtually no forward play at all to talk about. Hope the 2nd half is better? :pray:

We have defended ok, but our wide midfielders have been very poor and provided next to nothing. Thats resulted in us having had virtually no forward play at all to talk about. Hope the 2nd half is better? :pray:

:agree: Despite everybody going on about Griffiths and his form, we rely on Cairney and Spoony to make the moves happen that provide him with goals. When they play well, Hibs play well. If they are poor or can't get enough of the ball, then we start to look a bit lackluster going forward.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Hanlon and Mcgivern booked though.. could be dodgy... Saints forwards look sharp.

Hibs touch has been dreadful.. really hope we see a big improvement. Hate us losing easily in Perth.

[CMac1988]

From what I seen in the 1st half (stream cut of 10mins early... :(), ST Johnstone had the majority of the play.

We seem to rush the ball through midfield and if we can't get through quickly we play it back to our defenders to watch them lump it up to 'only wins 1 header a game Doyle'.

Best chances came from a 1-2 between Doyle and Griffiths with Doyle hitting it a good few yards over, and from Wotherspoon and Griffiths with David receiving the ball mid stride and not being able to get any contact with anything other than his shin!

Claros holding the ball up well and but possibly passing it back more often than forward. The forwards don't often find themselves in too much space though so I can understand why he is perhaps a little hessitant to do so.

Wotherspoon has had a lot of possesion but has lost the ball almost everytime he takes a defender on on the outside looking for a cross.

Cairney needs to get more involved and run a defenders with a little hope of drawing them towards him and breaking up their defence a a bit to provide space for the forwards, heck can even go past them if he wants. :)

We still lack a forward who can win the ball in the air and bring midfielders into play on the counter. We also lack pace throughout the whole squad with Griffiths and Cairney the only players able to outpace many of the SPL's defenders.

Doyle is a pain to watch as he seems to have good positional awareness and technique but a lot of the stuff he tries doesn't come off as he is too slow. Did I also mention that he can't read the ball in the air and hardly ever gets a touch on it whilst attempting a flick on? In fairness Griffiths isn't any better when it comes to heading and usually jumps blind with his head going down.

Summary: More possesion in Midfield with an emphasis on playing the ball to feet and into space. Spoony has been our best player in the 1st half so kudos, keep up the workrate but to cut inside a little more to try and mix it up a bit.

[lucky]

This is gash . We can't string 2 passes together.

[PeeJay]

Maybury gives away a stupid foul on edge of box... as a team we really need to stop doing this - corner

CAn you get full screen on this site?

[PeeJay]

Griffiths almost away on a counterattack and he's pulled back - Miller booked - free kick, claims for handball in box - now we have a free kick even closer to the penalty area ...

[nonshinyfinish]

Think bet365 will only work if you're outside of the UK/using a non-UK proxy.

Any chance that somebody getting to see the game could give us some updates instead of so many comments on where to see it?

Look up above you post for a quick first half analysis... If you can call it that. :greengrin

[Gatecrasher]

sounds like the team have an eye on Sunday IMO

I think I get the idea. The game's so bad people have started discussing the internet instead. :wink:

[PeeJay]

Wotherspoon coming on to his game - wins us a free kick in promising position

[PeeJay]

Excellent free kick from Griffiths, but Hanlon unable to put it in - corner

[Pretty Boy]

I think I get the idea. The game's so bad people have started discussing the internet instead. :wink:

Pretty much.

Lot of huffing and puffing but very little quality. First goal is the winner imo.

[Hainan Hibs]

Hanlon comes close from a header, the following corner is completely wasted. Perth tractor boys getting more and more agitated in the stand at the number of free kicks (rightly) given to Hibs.

[PeeJay]

Corner to Saints - Williams take safely yet again!

[cammy1969]

cmac - it is on bet365.
been watching a perfect stream since the start.
grim viewing tho!
i think its only for users outside the uk

[Viva_Palmeiras]

'mon the Hibs :flag:

[PeeJay]

Excellent pacey move from Saints - Williams saves us

[Tinribs]

Good save from big Ben.

[Hovehibby]

General question - with the game 0-0 with 25 to go and Hibs now 15/4 to win, would you wait or would you bite?

[whiskyhibby]

Sounds like we are coming a bit more into it now.....

[EdinMike]

1 Goal is gonna settle this game and I have a feeling it will be the exact same outcome as Saturday there..

[cabbageandribs1875]

Doyle is a pain to watch as he seems to have good positional awareness and technique but a lot of the stuff he tries doesn't come off as he is too slow. Did I also mention that he can't read the ball in the air and hardly ever gets a touch on it whilst attempting a flick on? In fairness Griffiths isn't any better when it comes to heading and usually jumps blind with his head going down.

.

in fairness, the wee man is only 4ft 10", humps up the field to our towering forwards kinda baffles me :(

[EuanH78]

Game opening up a bit now, good run from cairney plays it inside when maybe could have taken a shot.

[PeeJay]

Williams down low to his right to save us yet again...

Griffiths has a wee shot at the other end

[hibee_girl]

Celtic 4-0

[Aldo]

Celtic 4-0

[Thecat23]

[whiskyhibby]

Caldwell on for Doyle

[spike220]

C'cmon HIbs.

[whiskyhibby]

[nonshinyfinish]

Celtic 4-0

:tee hee:

[PeeJay]

Griffiths heads down and Caldwell puts well over the bar

[Onceinawhile]

Caldwell on for Doyle

That's what I was hoping he would do. I like the doyler but he struggles in certain games. This looks like one of them.

[spike220]

Caldwell on for Doyle

good call by fenlon

[easty]

0-4 hee hee :greengrin

Ive been quite surprised at how poorly they've dealt with balls into the box tonight. Usually they defend that pretty well, it's balls on the ground that the two centre halfs usually struggle with.

They're there for the taking on Sunday if we really want it!:agree:

[Pretty Boy]

Caldwell on for Doyle

Glad he's done it earlier tonight. Should have made the same.change on Saturday before Aberdeen scored.

[wazoo1875]

Oh this is gonna be a Tesco!!

Catchy number from the Celtic fans.
Hearts are pathetic, much like all the bakers that support them.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i'd settle for a point in perth

[matty_f]

i'd settle for a point in perth

A win would be ideal but yep, would take a point just now.

[hibee_girl]

Hearts penalty

Penalty for Hearts

There's a surprise, is the cake bakers top scorer taking it?

[Pretty Boy]

Another good save.

Zaliukas is a ****ing bombscare.

[Barney McGrew]

Missed.

:hilarious

[PeeJay]

McGivern saves for a corner - we are awful at the back

[easty]

That Forster really is a quality keeper. What a shame for Sallyukas though...:greengrin

[carnoustiehibee]

Come on hibs, make this a great wed night

[Aldo]

Tell you what I have noticed is that every time a smellick goes anywhere near them and try and tackle they flop looking for a free kick.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Att: 15,264 at the pink dome, are they cutting the capacity at that dump every home game :confused:

[Pretty Boy]

C"Mon Hibs, get it lifted for the last 15.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

One goal is going to win this but I would take a share of the points just now.

[PeeJay]

Tactical foul - yellow for Taiwo

[nonshinyfinish]

Missed.


And it's missed


Hertz penalty missed.


Hearts miss a penalty

Such a shame. :whistle:

[SaulGoodman]

One goal is going to win this but I would take a share of the points just now.

You know what's going to happen then :wink:

[Pretty Boy]

One goal is going to win this but I would take a share of the points just now.

Yep, they way we have played I'd say a draw is a decent result.

[easty]

You know what's going to happen then :wink:

A Hanlon winner.:agree:

[Aldo]

Yep, they way we have played I'd say a draw is a decent result.
