Not sure about big clubs but Sevco come in on 5th August, apparently.

Weird. I thought they went out on the 5th.

[Thecat23]

With our squad as thin as it is. I honestly don't want Hibs to do well in this cup. If we go out fine by me. I want us fully focused on the league.

Get what you are saying but winning breeds confidence. Could give us a great boost if we could go to Ibrox and get a win.

I do see where you're coming from though and I wouldn't lose any sleep should we lose.

You're right, but a wee win could add 2,000 or so to the game against Livvi

[Keith_M]

Some more of this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLV-DCTD2OA) at Ibrox on the 5th of August please

[marti1875]

Pitch inspection at 3:30 according to their twitter.

I want us to do well in this cup and get promoted.

[mutley]

3-0 now for THEM

[marti1875]

Pitch inspection at 3:30 according to their twitter.

Oh ok, cheers for that. What a long delay though eh? it's almost half-time.

[GlasgowHibee]

Oh ok, cheers for that. What a long delay though eh? it's almost half-time.

Read as well that there was a partial power cut for 10 minutes then torrential rain for 15 minutes after that causing further delays. They've got a team of 15 working on at the minute :D

[SteveHFC]

Oh ok, cheers for that. What a long delay though eh? it's almost half-time.

Update from a soggy East End Park. Match POSTPONED. Thunderstorm 20 minutes before kick off caused problem with surface water.

[Sir David Gray]

Pitch inspection at 3:30 according to their twitter.

Now been confirmed as postponed on BBC.

[marti1875]

So a great start to the new season for them then, :greengrin now see the game's postponed.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

One of my mates starting for Livi :thumbsup:

[Spike Mandela]

Hearts have put together a pretty useful side at Championship level imo. Hibs need to rise to the challenge this year and a few more useful additions will help.

[Chuck Rhoades]

They're playing Annan and that's who the boy is scoring against. No need to wet the bed yet.

We need to shake this defeatist attitude at the club, especially amongst the support.

[hibs0666]

Patterson stretchered off at half time. What a shame.

[iwasthere1972]

One of my mates starting for Livi :thumbsup:

You've got mates. :greengrin

[iwasthere1972]

Patterson stretchered off at half time. What a shame.

Aye for the poor stretcher.

[Pete]

They're playing Annan and that's who the boy is scoring against. No need to wet the bed yet.

Exactly. One half of football against a pub team and hearts are suddenly a decent side and this Sow will definitely score against us.

FFS

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

You've got mates. :greengrin

Well, believe it or not, yeah...

[marti1875]

:agree: Exactly....last time i looked Annan were a League 2 side, not even in the Championship yet people still seem scared by what the yams do no matter who it's against. :greengrin

[GlasgowHibee]

Patterson stretchered off at half time. What a shame.

Not needed imo. Would never wish injury on any player regardless of team.

[Kato]

Patterson stretchered off at half time. What a shame.


Is the seagull ok?

[Sir David Gray]

As things stand, if we beat Sevco then our possible opponents in the next round will be;

Airdrie/Albion Rovers
Berwick Rangers
Clyde
Dumbarton
Hearts
Morton
Queen of the South

[Kato]

Not needed imo. Would never wish injury on any player regardless of team.

He did say "what a shame", don't see any hint of a wish.

[Brightside]

:agree: Exactly....last time i looked Annan were a League 2 side, not even in the Championship yet people still seem scared by what the yams do no matter who it's against. :greengrin

We will hammer Hearts.

Have read through this thread a couple of times and can't see anybody being defeatist or wetting the bed. :confused:

13, 450 there going by that pic.

[sleeping giant]

Not needed imo. Would never wish injury on any player regardless of team.

Honestly ?
I have never understood this fashionable politically correct stance.
There are PLENTY of players who I would wish injury on.

[Billy Whizz]

Noticed there's a Beaton playing for East Fife. Is this the former Hibs youngster Jamie Beaton?

[Sir David Gray]

No doubt they'll still announce an official attendance of around 15,500!

[Albanian Hibs]

Hearts have put together a pretty useful side at Championship level imo. Hibs need to rise to the challenge this year and a few more useful additions will help.

Calm yourself. How do you know they have put a decent championship side together? Because they are beating a 2nd division team before the start of the season? Just wait til the season officially starts.

[Thecat23]

I've snapped my knee in half and can honestly say wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[Sir David Gray]

It is, yeah.

[sleeping giant]

I've snapped my knee in half and can honestly say wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I grew up wishing Robbo , Kenny Black , Swally etc would get injured before playing us.
I've broken both arms , ankle , nose and eye socket and would wish all those injuries on the players mentioned :greengrin
We are all getting too soft.

[SteveHFC]

I've snapped my knee in half and can honestly say wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I fractured my skull mate when i was 5:boo hoo:

Did the death trap not get a safety certificate, there is nobody in that asbestos dome, or am i missing something.

Where's the subs. :greengrin

[sleeping giant]

:(

I fractured my skull mate when i was 5:boo hoo:

Aye , buy you were not playing for Hearts I hope :greengrin

[Spike Mandela]

Calm yourself. How do you know they have put a decent championship side together? Because they are beating a 2nd division team before the start of the season? Just wait til the season officially starts.

I clearly stated it was my OPINION. Nothing to do with today's game. Some decent signings and base of youth with SPL experience. Nothing wrong with recognising the merits of your opposition. Nothing to stop Hibs rising to the challenge either.

[SteveHFC]

Aye , buy you were not playing for Hearts I hope :greengrin

I was :duck::greengrin

[Ronniekirk]

Calm yourself. How do you know they have put a decent championship side together? Because they are beating a 2nd division team before the start of the season? Just wait til the season officially starts.
And the key phrase is have put together a side .They are finished in Transfer Market while we are still putting ours together and will bring in more Quality .

[Billy Whizz]

Patterson stretchered off at half time. What a shame.

Seemingly no one near him at the time. Looks like he's done his knee in, studs caught in the grass, could be a bad one for him and Hearts.
Shows we need to beef up our squad, if we were to pick up some injuries, we will be light in a few positions.

Will probably end up a moustache grooming malfunction or something like that.:cb

For stubs read studs Interesting slip there billy :wink:

Corrected, are you the spelling police today?

[Pete]

With our squad as thin as it is. I honestly don't want Hibs to do well in this cup. If we go out fine by me. I want us fully focused on the league.

I'm starting to think this way too, especially after what's happened to Patterson. The season hasn't even started and they've maybe lost a key player. Just wait until the other teams in the league start mixing it.

[Ronniekirk]

Corrected, are you the spelling police today?
Naw it's just because it was Stubs He is beginning to embed himself in our psyche Good sign .

[Hibeesmad]

Sorry if already mentioned but does the challenge cup go to extra time and penalties or straight to a replay?

[Thecat23]

Correct mate. I think folk just think great it's another cup we could win. In all honestly Hibs first priority is to get out this league. The league and Scottish cup for me this season aren't important (tin hat on) but if we lose players through injury and suspensions we will struggle big time.

Winning a cup is a bonus, but when your relegated the most important thing is promotion or face losing hundreds of thousands of pounds with each season that goes by.

If we had a big squad then I'd maybe think different but this year is all about winning as many league games as possible and get out this championship.

I think he means in general and I tend to agree.

[Sir David Gray]

Extra time and penalties.

[Spike Mandela]

Annan won the second half 1-0.:aok:

[EK_Hibs]

Attendance at the PBS:

@AnnanAthleticFC: Official attendance is 6708

Seemingy the fans were mainly housed in the Wheatfield stand not the death trap.

What happened to the 11000 season ticket holders. Plums

[brog]

So a great start to the new season for them then, :greengrin now see the game's postponed.

Summer football huh!

[Sir David Gray]

After today's scores, our potential opponents in the next round, should we defeat Sevco are;

Albion Rovers
Berwick Rangers
Clyde
Hearts
Livingston
Morton
Stranraer

Albion Rovers, Berwick Rangers or Clyde at ER please. :agree:

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

So Annan have announced the crowd as 6,000. Fully expect Hearts to announce it as 10,000 shortly. Unless of course Annan get half the gate? Then hearts will confirm it as 6,000. Like last seasons 0-7 against Celtic in the cup-their only honest attendance of the season

[Diclonius]

Rangers/Hibs v Hearts will be the draw for the next round. You know it.
