[DoonTheSlope]

Gutted to be missing the game up in Invershnecky today, annual Xmas do in Perth with friends. Thought I could "nip up and back" the trouble and strife doesn't believe this is as good an idea as I do.

Good luck to the boys.

[hibsbollah]

A cold day is forecast in the Highland capital, as to be expected for December. It will be cloudy, mostly dry with occasional outbreaks of rain, preceded by sleet or light snow, although this should have cleared by kickoff. The mercury will be around 4 degrees, with a brisk southerly wind (14 mph) making it feel colder than that. Atmospheric pressure is 1021 and falling.

I am aware that many Hibbys are planning to do the 'Gangnam' style dance 강남 to keep warm today. Just remember, nailing the 'galloping' move at the start of the dance is all about footwork. When you cross your hands over, your feet should go left-right-left-left, and then right-left-right-right. This creates the galloping rhythm. Don't just hop from one foot to the other. With a bit of practice you will look the part AND keep your circulation pumping :agree:

Stay warm out there :aok:

[john18722]

Im thinking of going but a bit worried about the snow and ice on the A9. Has anyone else gone up the night before? I am assuming they will have gritted most of it anyway so it should be fine? Never been to ICT's stadium and why I chose to do it in the middle of December I dont know!

The A9 is a priorty route so 'should' be clear and well gritted. The roads in Pitlochry are still a bit slippy, though. A bit of a thaw yesterday then froze overnight. I'm waiting until the afternoon to clear the drive of hard packed snow.

Be careful and drive according to the conditions. Give yourselves plenty time to get there, and remember it will probably be worse heading back.

You are all precious.

Nice wee mention there on BBC Breackfast from Mike Bushell

The big Game in Scotland sees 3rd placed Inverness Caledonian Thistle take on 2nd placed Hibernian

[Judas Iscariot]

Would take a draw today..

No Sparky, McPake, Clancy or Deegan, 3 points would be unbelievable :pray:

[down-the-slope]

Lot less snow over Central Highlands on Thurs / Fri than Forecast predicted - also temps not bad for time of year. Just remember - overtake using dualled sections of A9...trying to save a few minutes has ended many lives on it (slightly less important but the mobile speed cameras have been out in force recently)


This will be a much tougher test than last week ends match - if we don't play well above that performance we will get nothing. ICT will at least try to play a passing game - so should be a cracker - with 0-0 being least likely score.....would take score draw right now

[nairn hibee]

2-1 to the super hibees! :-)

I thought he travelled and it would be a game day decision.

[Forza Fred]

30 degrees in south West Sydney today - a lot warmer than Inversneckie.

0-0 will do me.

We always have a problem with this mob.

There's a thaw in Inversneckie, came up last night by train. Not a spot of frost this morning so hoping it stays dry.

Interesting, think Doyle could do with a rest and Sproule did well when he came on last week.

Not convinced Griffiths is very good up front on his own though so would maybe have preferred Caldwell to have started but i can see the logic of playing with five in midfield up there.

I assume he'll play Cairney central behind Leigh and Sproule LW.

Yeah, i think that is Cairneys more natural position as well so i think Fenlon is making the most out of our fairly limited options up front.

[AlbertK86]

yep ...think that will be the case and think it is where Cairney is most effective

Lets keep the ball on the deck. nae point going long and high

1-0 Hibs ....Cairney to score

[Golden Bear]

Would rather have had a straight swap for Caldwell?

So would I. Mainly because I have him as scorer of the 1st Goal in the Hibs Net comp!

:greengrin

[bingo70]

Would rather have had a straight swap for Caldwell?

I think Inverness play with 5 in the middle and neither Caldwell or Griffiths are target men so they'd swamp the midfield and our front two would get no service, IMO what happened last week so i can see why Fenlon has gone with this team.

It's not a game in hand until we have played ict though. At this moment we've played 16 games and so have they and were four points behind. So Lennon was wrong.

[Liams]

I can see why he has doyle on the bench; sparky was 50/50 for fitness, so rather starting our two best strikers, start our leading goal scorer and see how l long he last for and bring on fit doyle with 30mins togo(can only ser sparky getting 45-60mins) rather than bring on caldwell or the plumber (kuqi)

It's absolute nonsense that a guy who hasn't been paid, and will probably never see another pay packet from them again before he leaves in January, is scoring goals for them.

And the SPL seem happy for them to carry on this way.

[Hibs7]

Hibs playing very poorly, will settle for 1-0 at half time, Pat needs to see where we are going wrong and do something about it.
But then again have we been playing like this for the past 3 games and just carrying a bit of luck.

Ultimately I think that, if we can nick a goal in the second half without conceding any more, we might just come away with a point.

[Golden Bear]

Hopefully our injury situation will clear up soon. We're really struggling for defenders judging by the choice of substitutes. There is no real physical presence on the park today and that could be as much a factor as anything else.

We ain't Barcelona after all.

I hope thats exactly what happens now!

[Hibercelona]

I watched the Caley, Ross C game last week and honestly did not think we would have any problems today, don't reckon ICT were that good but just goes to show, maybe Hibs are not that good at the moment.

We haven't been that great over the last several games, we've just been grinding out results.

Hopefully we can do the same today.

[Golden Bear]

:agree:

[Golden Bear]

Is half time over? It's all gone very quiet.

[Jim44]

watching stream of Aberdeen game at the Gorgie hole (cant get hibs game) and the announcer announcing half time scores got a cheer when our result came over tannoy but said 'still enough time for a deflected equaliser'...

GIRFUY!! haha they still hurting bunch of clowns :na na:

:flag:

............. which makes the sacking of our announcer even more annoying.

[HibeeN]

Is half time over? It's all gone very quiet.

Just not much to report, Hibs sound a bit toothless

[PeeJay]

Inverness pressing for 2nd goal - we're still playing long balls forward to no-one for some reason apparently...

[Mikey]

Motherwell 2 Ross County 1

[Hibs7]

2-0 jumbos wtf !!!

[YehButNoBut]

C'mon Hibees let's get a draw at least :pfgwa

Hearts 2-0 now Paterson scored

Templeton puts Rangers 1 up

[silverhibee]

Ultimately I think that, if we can nick a goal in the second half without conceding any more, we might just come away with a point.

Gawny no dae that.

[euro Hibby]

hard afternoon.........

[HibeeN]

Commentators critical of Hanlon-McGivern partnership

[Hibs7]

C'mon Hibs for f***s sake !!!

[bingo70]

Have we touched teh ball second half? Sounds like a change could be needed, not sure who but maybe even Kuqi if he can hold the ball up and try and get us some possession.

[PeeJay]

Doyle about to come on

[Hibercelona]

Doyle about to come on

Hopefully for Sproule!

I think he's touched the ball about 3 times in this match.


Actually, hes taken Cairney off. :confused:

[Hibs90]

Just in, how have we been playing? Poorly it seems?

[Hainan Hibs]

Sounds horrific.

[PeeJay]

Doyle on for Cairney!

[cabbageandribs1875]

2-2 well v ross co

Mon the Hibees :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Hibs7]

Poor, poor performance today, the quicker we get the 3 injured players back the better !!!!

[Stuarty27]

Listening it to on the radio and we sound terrible.

Feel for the fans who travelled up there.

[Franck Stanton]

was always on the cards for us to lose this game, we never seem to perform after winning/drawing a derby game - add that to the fact it is ICT away and you have a recipe for disaster. Squad is threadbear at the moment - getting to the stage we desperately need the three that are out injured to return.

Not sure why Handling and Caldwell are not getting a run out. Both doing well for Under 20s. Also Stanton in Midfield.

Sproule????

[cabbageandribs1875]

foran, 2-0 and probably well deserved

[HibeeN]

2-0 game over

[PeeJay]

2-0 Inverness - Hibs sleeping again - game over, surely?

[hibeedonald]

1 attempt on goal. And it was a mistake from there CB.

2-0 aswell now.

SHOCKING PERFORMANCE!

[YehButNoBut]

Game over now 2-0 to ICT Foran scores, poor performance today. :rolleyes:

[1875HFC]

1-1 St Johnstone, cmon the Hibs another opportunity to pick up points when others are dropping them

The SPL slide looks well and truly on. Dundee, Aberdeen and now Inverness.

PF seems very reluctant to play the youngsters.

Pathetic defending again 2-0 this is absolute garbage from Hibs, so much for improvement, even Ross county can score 3 against this mob !!!!!!!!!

Need to start blooding them quicker not many other worthwhile options

There's nothing to say. :cb

[cabbageandribs1875]

dammit motherwell 3-2

[007 Mickey Weir]

If Doyle and Sparky were not 100% I would have just done a direct swap for Handling and Caldwell. ICT would not be prepared for this. Also a fresh approach.

Well behind PF but sometimes I just don't get it. Why he plays Sproule is beyond me. Offers nothing and is like having a player down.

[PeeJay]

Fenlon is about to bring on Kuqi (for Wotherspoon) for some reason - why not one of the youngsters and why not earlier than this?

[Peevemor]

Gtf!

I concur.

[cabbageandribs1875]

koockie munster coming on to change the game, i just don't get it paddy boy i honestly don't

[Hibs7]

Gtf!

You gtf if you are willing to accept this kind of performance, we have not played well in 3 games now and stole 6 points, get your head out of the sand !!! Absolute pathetic performance !!!

[Hibs7]

I concur.

Sheep !!

[archiebald]

Really? Are you 1?

answers on a postcard

[jakki]

Why can't we have advantage from throw ins? We have been terrible with them for years. Its a possession but we lose it straight away!

[matty_f]

You gtf if you are willing to accept this kind of performance, we have not played well in 3 games now and stole 6 points, get your head put of the sand !!! Absolute pathetic performance !!!

Teams has ridden its luck for a fee weeks missing backbone of team. Keep faith we just need a bit freshing up

[007 Mickey Weir]

koockie munster coming on to change the game, i just don't get it paddy boy

Game over. I now expect it to be 3nil. Sproule stays on pitch and we bring on a player that makes Nade look like Messi!!

FFS!!!!

[bingo70]

Fenlon is about to bring on Kuqi (for Wotherspoon) for some reason - why not one of the youngsters and why not earlier than this?

:agree:

I don't think Kuqi is as bad as some make out, he offer something the other strikers don't in that he can hold the ball up but i can't for the life of me see the point of bringing him on now, it's too late to for him to be holding the ball up and building possession, if he was going to come on it should have been 15-20 minutes ago.

[Golden Bear]

Fenlon is about to bring on Kuqi (for Wotherspoon) for some reason - why not one of the youngsters and why not earlier than this?

Is it the wage structure? I don't mean this particular substitution but it seems to have become a common theme in recent years that if there is another option to playing a youngster then the Club takes it.

[Pretty Boy]

You gtf if you are willing to accept this kind of performance, we have not played well in 3 games now and stole 6 points, get your head out of the sand !!! Absolute pathetic performance !!!

Lol

[Bobo]

Playing one up front is dreadful, we've got what we deserve for using such a ***** formation.

Totally unacceptable conceding the game before a ball had even been kicked.

[Hibercelona]

:hilarious

He's not wrong to be fair.


3-0.....

[HiBremian]

3-0:confused:

[PeeJay]

3-0 Hibs defence AWOL!

[cabbageandribs1875]

3-0 ah well you put ****all into a game and you get ****all back awffull defending yet again

[matty_f]

Look forward to the bed wetting this evening. Fenlon out etc.

[YehButNoBut]

Defending been a shambles today we should never lose 3-0 to this mob.

Hopefully McPake & Clancy will be back soon.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Game over. I now expect it to be 3nil. Sproule stays on pitch and we bring on a player that makes Nade look like Messi!!

Well I ain't at the game but I still feel as though it's a statutory obligation to say FFS.

:grr:

[HiBremian]

Rode our luck last 2 games. The truth is out today. We need McPake/Clancy/Deegan back.

[carnoustiehibee]

If Doyle and Sparky were not 100% I would have just done a direct swap for Handling and Caldwell. ICT would not be prepared for this. Also a fresh approach.

Well behind PF but sometimes I just don't get it. Why he plays Sproule is beyond me. Offers nothing and is like having a player down.

Exactly. Starting 1 up front was always going to fail. Need the 3 injured back quick. Maybe the last time we see sproule.

[Big_Franck]

Bad day at the office no doubt. Sounds like we have defended very poorly today and shown nothing going forward.

Still, I wouldn't swap positions with the beasts :aok:

[Diclonius]

Rode our luck last 2 games. The truth is out today. We need McPake/Clancy/Deegan back.

Correct. We miss our injured players badly.

[bingo70]

I'm not one to get carried away but our performances when we go up north aren't good enough, do the players stop off for a bevy on the way up?

It's not like we're in the Russian league and have an 11 hour journey going through three time zones, it's about three hours up the ****ing road, the players need to have a look at themselves, it's not good enough to say "ah but we've been better this season", we've barely kicked the ball this half by the sounds of it.

[silverhibee]

Look forward to the bed wetting this evening. Fenlon out etc.

Gtf
































:greengrin

[PeeJay]

Doesn't sound as if IC have played all that well - just seems we are so utterly awful: what do these guys actually do when training - and why do we persist with long balls up front which do nothing but concede possession to our opponents - and why doesn't Fenlon pick up on this, as everyone else seems to have done so - apart from him and the team for some reason?

[Boyle89]

Listened on the radio. Sounds like we were honking. Feel sorry for those that made the trip to be given another abject performance. Need Clancy and mcpake back soon. Been going backwards the pat few games.

[matty_f]

We need the injured players back soon. Don't really know why he changed a winning team.

[AL-Qaholik]

Rode our luck last 2 games. The truth is out today. We need McPake/Clancy/Deegan back.

Agree we've ridden our luck but, even with 3 players out, we should be able to at least compete with teams like ICT - we've offered nothing today...

Your constant attention-seeking cheerleading is getting really tiresome

[Pretty Boy]

Yep, time to log off for the night I think.

Days like today will happen with the squad we have and the injuries we are dealing with. It's disappointing but I'd be lying if I said I didnt half expect it. Tough day at the office, onwards and upwards.

[Number69]

Why do we even bother sending a team to Inverness? Predictable result every time!

[Springbank]

Anyone know what the w-l-d stats are for games where we've started with ivan since his return?

[JimBHibees]

Exactly. Starting 1 up front was always going to fail. Need the 3 injured back quick. Maybe the last time we see sproule.

Why? loads of teams play with that system. Easy to say now when we have lost.

Poor result that is for sure however ICT are actually a very decent team.

Bad day at the office lets move on to next week.

[Hibercelona]

I wish I could just say that we've played badly.

But we didn't appear to play at all. :confused:

[Greendub]

Sproules only good as an impact sub, he should never have started

We have 2 bright young talented strikers who sat on the bench?!?

Oh and maybury is useless

[matty_f]

Yeah people just can't see what a great result and performance this is, eh?:rolleyes:

Your constant attention-seeking cheerleading is getting really tiresome

Gtf.

[The_Horde]

We've been asking for this doing for a few weeks.

We can't go on surrendering games to the opposition and hoping sparky pops up the other end. We have to start showing the confidence to control possession, taking the game to the opposition.

[Malthibby]

We have a small squad with little in the way of back up, but the young guys could have been tried today.
Ivan gives his all but isn't a starting player & as for the Cookie Monster, I just don't get it at all. Hope I'm
wrong & he has scored 4 by the time I type this.
On a bad run, but have to keep the faith, it's still been a better season that looked likely after the first game.
GG

[Frazerbob]

"We will never be pushovers again" - aye, very good Hibs...

:agree: We were awful in Dundee as well - to make things worse, the Yams are 2-0 up! We need McPake back asap.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that's been a pattern for most of the season to be fair, it aint working now, maybe other teams have sussed us out...just a thought :(

[Jim44]

Look forward to the bed wetting this evening. Fenlon out etc.

Well as one of the bed-wetters, I'm sorry to disappoint you Matty. I've resigned myself to the fact that we are doing quite well with a poor team in a league where results are all over the shop. There is only one certainty in the SPL.

[SteveHFC]

Pish that is all :)

[matty_f]

Yep, time to log off for the night I think.

Days like today will happen with the squad we have and the injuries we are dealing with. It's disappointing but I'd be lying if I said I didnt half expect it. Tough day at the office, onwards and upwards.

[Big_Franck]

This.

With hopefully McPake back in the team and Deegan back in the squad for next week at home to Motherwell, and with ICT being away to Dundee United we could be in with a decent chance of going second again.

The league outside Celtc is very tight, and games like today will happen unfortunately.

Still well positioned in the league and still in the cup :flag:

[Spike Mandela]

Better Hibs teams than this have struggled in Inverness in the past. I am never confident of us getting a result there. sounds like a really abject performance and whilst still 3rd the fact we are only 6 points ahead of Hearts shows how vital wins are for zipping up the league

[Hibercelona]

Some people are still saying "We'll have games like this".

Do you mean games that we don't take any part in what so ever?

Losing 3-0 is one thing, but losing 3-0 because you just didn't bother turning up is something else.

[matty_f]

Well as one of the bed-wetters, I'm sorry to disappoint you Matty. I've resigned myself to the fact that we are doing quite well with a poor team in a league where results are all over the shop. There is only one certainty in the SPL.

We're a decent side with everyone fit. 3 key players out at the same time is always going to show our problems.

[JimBHibees]

Why do we even bother sending a team to Inverness? Predictable result every time!

Did we not win twice there last season.

[Tyler Durden]

We need the injured players back soon. Don't really know why he changed a winning team.

Because Doyle has been poor for the last 4 games.

Easy in hindsight but he's made the wrong changes today. Personally would've rather seen Caldwell and Handling start together. Even Stanton or Harris, too many of our creative players seem to be running on empty and could have done with a rest. Sproule has had too many chances.

[HiBremian]

Agree we've ridden our luck but, even with 3 players out, we should be able to at least compete with teams like ICT - we've offered nothing today...

Ever since I've followed Hibs, that seems to be the problem - can't compete, even when playing badly. But isn't that just what Deegs and McPake bring to the team? PF says it's a work in progress, so maybe we need a few more "competitive" players if we're going to get somewhere in this league.

Even then, we still seem to suffer from that other age-old Hibs problem - giving the ball away at throw-ins.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Att: 14,410 at the pink wongadome, that'll be another full house then

[Alfred E Newman]

Yet another display of how to burst a bubble. After last weeks win the Sportsound team were praising Fenlon for sticking to a set up that suits Hibs with the weak squad that they have. A strict 4-4-2 with the players all knowing their jobs. I can understand Fenlons thoughts for resting Doyle but Sproule in his place? After last weeks performance I would have thought Caldwell was a certainty to play today especially given the physical nature of the Inverness side. Its another desperately dissappointing result that will do nothing to boost Hibs bid to sell more half seasons and only underlines how far we are from having a consistantly sucessful side.

[Hibercelona]

We're a decent side with everyone fit. 3 key players out at the same time is always going to show our problems.

From what was on display today, i'd say it's a little bit beyond problematic.

We can't rely on having a fully fit squad all the time, it's the same for any team in the SPL. But others always seem to cope far better with it than ourselves.

We'd have been as well having all 11 of those players on the pitch out injured today and picking 11 fans out from the crowd. They'd have put in a far better shift.
