Note- this game is live to sportsnet world n Canada!


Any team new yet ?

What's the weather like today n Edinburgh?

[Mikey]

It's windy.

The Hearts team is on the PM board.

I think we can re-open this again a wee bit nearer kick off.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Salutations fellow Hibees,

Requisite team news and weather updates from Hibsbollah required post haste.

Let's do this thing.

Drinks are flowing and spirits are high (and being ordered)

[hibsbollah]

Quickie tonight from your resident meteorologist cos I've got some pre match drinking to do.:party:

Cloudy, mild, slight chance of Brief drizzle in the West of Edinburgh but likely to be dry. 11C at kickoff time is almost tshirt temperature. 13 mph winds from the south west so that filthy Tynecastle stench from the nearby brewery won't be a factor. 1027 mb and rising.

:flag::flag::flag::flag:

Thanks for the ticket G-Reg

[Albanian Hibs]

Any team news?

[HiBremian]

Greetings, fellow Hibees from a wet Werder Hibremian, where the Weizenbier is suitably chilled and ready for consumption.

Any chance of a livecam at the Murrayfield Hotel before KO so we can all join in? :greengrin

Not sure why the surprise - I didn't know it had been asked to be kept "secret" cos I couldn't read it and none of the folk that normally "leak" the secret stuff to me had passed it on!

Much attire. Brilliant!

That midfield of that team is as soft as a babies first *****.

I understand our back 4 to be:

Clancy McPake Hanlon McGivern.

Lewis is injured.

If this is thier starting team im going for a 0-7
That is one rank team - plum of a Goalie ,Barr at RB has no pace, No decent center half and a weak as hell midfield come on Hibs get into them :fenlon

Aah right. That team is their for the taking!

[Albanian Hibs]

McGowan? Are they on the wind up?

Maybe his brother??

[Leishy1995]

Lewis Coult on twitter - one change for hibs is Mcgivern in for Lewis. Other than that, exact team from last week.

[PeeJay]

So, here in my part of Berlin we've got 9 °C, some light rainfall, humidity 83%, visibility OK, 1025 mb, wind WNW and a wind speed of 26 km/h, but I don't care: I'm indoors, my "Erdinger Weißbier" is in the fridge waiting for me and the PC is heating up for the Hibs TV International broadcast ... here's to a victory for us - HNY to one and all!

Radio 5 Live talking up this evening's derby - "always something special" ... here's hoping!


:flag:

[EuanH78]

Never confident about a derby game but that does look like a pretty weak fuds eleven select.

[Judas Iscariot]

The merricks on throwback are raging at that team...

No wonder, it's ****ing ganting :faf:

If that is indeed their starting 11 we SHOULD beat them...

'mon tae **** Hibs, let's turn these stinking puddle drinking sister bothering welts over in their pink paedo dome :pfgwa

[plhibs]

Never confident about a derby game but that does look like a pretty weak fuds eleven select.

You know that lot, doesn't matter what team they have out they play as if their lives were on the line against us.

[down-the-slope]

with the exception of Sutton / Stevenson that is so poor its worrying - hope we don't take them too lightly. Need Hanlon / McPake to be as strong as last match and a full team effort for 90 mins

[Diclonius]

First derby in years we've had a better back four than them. If we can't beat them tonight (and in no way am I saying we will) then I will have serious concerns about our mental strength.

[Aldo]

They need to make sure someone picks up Stevenson playing behind Sutton.

We need to be first to every ball.

Nervous..... Yes very.... I can assure you if this they will be up for it.

We need to be controlled, level headed and ensure we keep 11 on the park.

The time however is NOW.

GG

[Speedway]

If the Hibs players/management know anything, they'll know that it doesn't matter who Hearts starting XI is, they'll be at us from the off.

[BarneyK]

I don't see where some are coming from with their perceived (lack of) team strength. Novikovas is a threat. Many would have had us sign Taouill back in the day. And Driver - though he has certainly been fairly average for a long while now - is certainly capable of something. If we were the finished article ourselves I could see it. You just know how they always raise themselves for this game, if we're not right on it, we're heading for disappointment IMO.

Some sanity.

Keep the heads. Can be confident without ridiculing a team that it better than many that have beaten us this season.

[BarneyK]

:agree: The one thing about them, regardless of who plays, they will always be up for the derby. It's unfortunately not something you can always say for our boys.

[plhibs]

As an aside Sportsnet World are showing the game here today and they have been advertising it as THE BIGGEST GAME IN SCOTLAND now that there is no smellies derby.:flag:

[3pm]

Going to be a hard game. Always is.

[Hainan Hibs]

McGivern and Clancy will have to be careful with the yambo wingers, and hopefully we have a man on Stevenson. Their back 4 is the most dodgy it has been in many a year, an area that is usually a strong point for them. Griffths if supplied could have a field day.

As mentioned before however they could put 11 cones out and still give us a game. They have enough to get goals however with that back four I would be surprised if Hibs don't score tonight.

Let's get ****ing intae thum Hibs:flag::flag::flag:

[Frogga]

We're the featured game on Radio 5 Live tonight...It will be followed by a feature on the state and future Scottish football.

[Hibees07]

Very attack minded Hearts team, if it all clicks in place for them it may be a tough game. Is this not similar to the line up they played against Liverpool, if so they did well that night. Hopefully Cairney & Doyle will cause problems for their full-backs which will get them on the back foot and force them to play it long.

Go the HIbees.

Re Stevenson dropped/injured ---- think it is first one to be honest, if he has "a knock" then he shoul;dn't be on the bench imo - need everyone to be at the top of their game tonight. Come on Hibs, make my New Year.

Oh dear, seems we are being caught up in the emotion of the game, need to settle down play football and we will win.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Can't believe how slowly we've started. When will we learn?!

Fenlon was saying play the game, not the occasion. They're playing the occasion, give it five minutes to settle down.

[Dinkydoo]

Typical Hibs. Better players yet we haven't turned up yet and pump the ball up the park at every opportunity.

[Leishy1995]

finally a good bit of football!

[Peevemor]

First effort at goal?

[cabbageandribs1875]

gie the baw tae reilly

[PeeJay]

Cairney has first real attempt after some good play - poor finish though

[Cropley10]

Every ball Hearts play is a straight hoof up the park. Eye bleeding stuff.

[Callum_62]

we have to step it up here - we are a distant second best at the moment

[Hainan Hibs]

Cairney could've done better there

[matty_f]

Unlucky from Cairney.

[Jim44]

Maybe just as the home team, but they've got a wee bit more dig than us.

[SouthamptonHibs]

This is brutal! why are we playing we 4-5-1. Griff up there on his own 5 midfielders no where near him! This is a walk in the aprk for the Yams back four so fat. Fenlon get it sorted playing high balls up to Griff on his own

This is like a Sunday league game. Blooter...blooter...blooter. Awful.

Every Hearts tackle is border line foul

[Hibs Class]

Sly kick on Cairney by Barr there

[Leishy1995]

Hanlon and Mcpake dealing with it well but we are punting it to a lad half the height of his markers.

[Waxy]

Must say.
This is how a derby match should be refereed
so far anyway

[Peevemor]

Driver past the post.

[hibee_girl]

Thought he was gonna blow for a penalty there!!

[Leishy1995]

So close. Hearts should be ahead. Also a penalty shout which is probably a pen.

[Sylar]

Lucky not to concede a penalty there.

Terrible tackle from McPake and I think we're lucky Driver blasted that wide!

[heretoday]

Where is the defence?

[The Voice Of Reason]

Dreadful game. We look too defensive and griffiths looks far too isolated.

Should be 1-0 hearts - driver miss

[IWasThere2016]

Lucky to escape a pen/goal there IMHO. Where's the fitba Hibs?

[Hainan Hibs]

As Olly Murs would say my heart skipped a beat there :bitchy:

[cabbageandribs1875]

the chubbster reckons hertz should have had a penalty ? aye/naw ?










edit: chick young confirms robertson talks a loady keek

[matty_f]

Got away with that one. Come on Hibs, get a grip of this game.

IF fenlon doesn't change his tactics soon we will be behind! C'mon! We might aswell of played kuqi if he was just gonna play high baws up the park get it sorted fenlon

C'mon Hibs, dinnae blow this one, hope it's one of those "game of two halves" and this is our bad half. So much for my diet - I've alreadt bitten my nails down to ma elbows. Aaaaaggggggghhhhhhhhhh

[hibsmad]

Didnt think that was a pen. Hearts player had left it to Driver. McPake was trying to block the cross and there was a collision once Driver had control of the ball.

****ing come on Hibs!!!

I agree - if driver hadn't been there then it would have been a strong claim.

[Gatecrasher]

I hate watching the game on tv all you see is the ball and who has it, you cant see the movement of the other players.

[Peevemor]

Better play from Hibs.

[Beefster]

Is there an unwritten clause somewhere in Sky's SPL contract that every Edinburgh derby MUST have an ex-Jambo to commentate/analyse the game?

Andy Walker played for Hibs.

Might be mistaken but as he ran into them trying to recover the ball, I could have sworn they launched something at him!

[fife hfc]

Hibs have been awful and Deegan and Mcgivern are way off the pace at the moment.

[Andy74]

Settle guys. This is how Hearts play. No team gets to play against them. The team, pitch, stadium , it's all perfect for a derby and making sure no one can move.

You've hot to hope that it settles or we put one or two moments of quality together that can nick it.

[Cropley10]

Unbelievably poor game.

[J-C]

Andy Walker is so biased towards Hearts it's unreal, not had a good word to say about Hibs yet, the penalty claim was nonsense, McPake went for the ball and his momentum made the follow through on the wet surface.

Aye, but hearts look more up for it than us and more dangerous.

[Peevemor]

Stevenson in with 2 feet - ****!

[SouthamptonHibs]

is that no a red card?

[J-C]

McGivern's distribution is terrible, launching up towards Griffiths is not what we want.

[Hainan Hibs]

How in the **** is that jambo **** not off? **** off Collum, ****ing unbelievable.

[I'm_cabbaged]

That ****er should've saw red there!!

[Hibs Class]

Stevenson in on McPake with studs up. Could easily have been a red card.

[Greendub]

Horrible from Stevenson

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

That looked a sore one on McPake.

[Cropley10]

Stevenson and his hilarious tattoos

[IWasThere2016]

Stevenson assaults McPake and gets awa wi it! :grr:

[blaikie]

Stevenson is a dick! Deegan had a few choice words with the prick

[hibee_girl]

Can the compliance officer not deal with Stevenson?

[Leishy1995]

Willie Collum is destined to break someone's leg today.

[SmashinGlass]

Dreadful challenge on Mcpake by Stevenson there. Red card should have been

[superfurryhibby]

It's working in France.

Audio only?

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Straight red, absolute no doubt. Shocking challenge

[Jim44]

Is there an unwritten clause somewhere in Sky's SPL contract that every Edinburgh derby MUST have an ex-Jambo to commentate/analyse the game?

Walker has no links with the Jambos. He spent time with Hibs but I don't think he has any time for us.

[Tricla]

Stevenson and his hilarious tattoos

He's a total spaz.

[heretoday]

Come on Hibs! Make some effort at attacking.

[Peevemor]

0-0 HT - that'll do for now.

[Dan Sarf]

Why are we playing like Hearts? Thud and blunder. Not even similar to football.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Better change at HT, at the moment it's just Hibs back 5 versus hearts. Hopefully the rest of the team come out 2nd half

[Gatecrasher]

He thinks they have dominated :tee hee:

[Andy74]

McGlynn sums Hearts up. Thinks this is great football.

[hibsmad]

Stevenson and his hilarious tattoos

He's like the guy in Prison Break. Except he's uglier and doesn't have a plan.

[cockneymike]

Well that was rubbish, hopefully we can expect something a bit better in the 2nd...

[Bob Box Fish]

Lack of width freightning in this hibs team.

[Cropley10]

Can the compliance officer not deal with Stevenson?

Perhaps? Ref didn't give a yellow even.

[Hibrandenburg]

Have a word Pat. This game is to be had if we set up right.

[Greendub]

Audio only?

You on the right bit mate?

Live events

[JoeTortolanoFanClub]

Poor stuff. We are giving the ball away too easily in midfield. Lucky not to be behind.

[matty_f]

Terrible first half. We are much better than that.

[blaikie]

We need to move Doyle up front put Spoony on the Wing bring off Claros or Taiwo bit more width and feed it into the feet of Doyle and Sparky!

[trev the hat]

Stevensons tackle was a shocker !!! Wageless mutant

[Mon Dieu4]

this is brutal, hoof hoof hooooooof

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Poor 1st half, has Griffiths touched the ball.

[Northernhibee]

Midfield looks very crowded, could have done with Kuqi as an option as a big, physical lump for Sparky to play off of.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Poor 1st half, has Griffiths touched the ball?

[#FromTheCapital]

Really pish from hibs, hearts the better side but overall a really poor game. Hope we can step it up in the second

[Hainan Hibs]

Half-time couldn't come quick enough there, dreadful first half that seems typical of our performances over the years at Tynie. Hearts winning the midfield battle with ease leaving Griffths totally isolated up front.

Back 4 need to keep the head too especially Clancy and McPake.

[Jones28]

Turgid game, hearts had the better of the play so far. Cairny had a good chance but didn't take it. Every time we get the ball it gets punted forward. Penalty wasn't for me, Stevenson should have at least been booked for that challenge on mcpake.

[Andy74]

Lack of width freightning in this hibs team.

Difficult in that groond and the way they play. No wonder Hearts fans think every other team they play are garbage. There's very little chance to play at all against them. Their goals for and against says a lot. Same every year. Anti football at its best.

[cabbageandribs1875]

chick dung saying stevenson should have got a red for nearly breaking McPakes leg

[Jones28]

He's like the guy in Prison Break. Except he's uglier and doesn't have a plan.

He looks like he's been gang raped by a packet of crayons. :agree:

[RamblingJack]

Watching the game on tinternet,crap game ,kick the ball up the park kick the ball back down the park.

[Callum_62]

Hearts, without doing much with it have dominated this game

we have shown nothing....and continue to launch balls up to one of the smallest players on the park

I think Taouil is controlling the game....we need to stop bypassing the midfield

I think Mcpake was fortunate not to give away a pen....im sure we wouldve been screaming for it at the other end!

Stevenson could've easily seen red for the lunge on McPake too

Overall a total dire game!

Our midfield 3 are not at the races, and thats the difference from the Celtic game

I thought tiredness might play a role in this game, and thats exactly what we look - a tired team

[The Voice Of Reason]

Mcglynn has every right to be happy with the 1st half - hearts have been the better team and should be 1-0 up.

Unless something changes we will lose this game.

[Number69]

We've been let off plain and simple, could have been a goal down to a penalty! Its too scrappy in midfield.

Two up top and a winger on the right for second half please.

[StevesFamau5]

He's like the guy in Prison Break. Except he's uglier and doesn't have a plan.

pahahahahahaha actually choked on my beer. best put down ever :D

Hearts play like a table football team : most likely to score If you welly it in against their players and it rebounds in ...

[cabbageandribs1875]

He looks like he's been gang raped by a packet of crayons. :agree:


an unfortunate choice of words

[Waxy]

We need to move Doyle up front put Spoony on the Wing bring off Claros or Taiwo bit more width and feed it into the feet of Doyle and Sparky!Think this will happen second half.
tip the game in our favour

[FifeeHibee]

Terrible first half. We are much better than that.

Not very often!

[Hibrandenburg]

Can we call last orders on some of the Guests. It's slower than Nade after a triple pie supper on here.

[Jim44]

The team that has more appetite will win this. I'd love to think it's us but ......

[Houchy]

He thinks they have dominated :tee hee:

Don't know what match penfold's watching!!!

[blackpoolhibs]

FFS stop panicking, this is how a derby should be. We will get the ball down eventually once the game settles down, and our better quality forwards will win it for us. :flag:

[Sprouleflyer]

We need to move Doyle up front put Spoony on the Wing bring off Claros or Taiwo bit more width and feed it into the feet of Doyle and Sparky!

Need to do something! Same old hibs at Tynie, doing nothing but sitting in and soaking up the hearts pressure. Problem with this formation is Fenlon will hook Griffiths after 60-70 mins!

[hibsmad]

Ok I realise we have been poor but more importantly, how often can you remember Hearts being as poor recently against us? We are going to overtake them, they are in the ****, and we are going to beat them a lot in the coming years.

Hopefully including today!

[The Green Goblin]

Picture and sound fine here in Brasil. Game not up to much, but anything could still happen...

[HFC 0-7]

Andy Walker is so biased towards Hearts it's unreal, not had a good word to say about Hibs yet, the penalty claim was nonsense, McPake went for the ball and his momentum made the follow through on the wet surface.


When you see it again I think you will think different, he isn't even sliding when he made contact, he is off the ground. Silly challenge. Hibs need to pick things up, lumping balls aimlessly. We don't have players to win balls like that. If we are going to lump it, lump it into the channels, target McGowan for example. No ideas in the midfield yet, Fenlon needs to change things.

[Hibs90]

Aimless hoofs by both sides.

Terrible football. Game is there for the taking though.

[spike220]

This is anti-football, Hibs need some composure.

I agree,
3 Central midfielders in our side but we constantly hoof it over there heads a few short passes and we look dangerous in the middle.

Like your confidence, hope you are right!!!!
