How's everyone feeling about the game?

Weather in Dumfries?

I'm seeking out the thermals for today and wearing my mint green hibs top.

3-2 the hibs :gwa:

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Good idea re the clobber. Overcast but dry and cold in Carlisle just now.

[Pretty Boy]

Huge game today that's been a bit lost in amongst all the other stuff this week. On the whole it's been a week of good news so lets hope we finish it with a win.

I'm not making today due to another commitment so relying on here for updates.

We need 3 points today, which we've been unable to do against Queens this season. Can't see too many changes to our team from last week. Queens without their centre half, as he was sent off last week

[Brightside]

Tough game today. QOTS are an impressive footballing team. I reckon a 3-1 win for hibs. Goals from Hanlon, Cummings, Robertson

[Bronson]

Only rain today is forecast between 1-5pm. Typical. Nevertheless only light rain so not too bad.

Fancying 2-0 hibs, Boyle getting the first and then Stanton sealing it late on.

[Spike Mandela]

This game today is a real barometer of how much progress this Hibs team has made since the start of the season for me.

This season so far I have never had 100% confidence that this Hibs team could go to places like QotS away or Falkirk away and get a result. Hibs have undoubtedly been getting better though,albeit with still a fragility in defence, but definitely getting better.

If we can go here, put on a commanding performance and get a win it would be a very big boost for the team and would be a good indicator we are in for a storming end to the season.

[WillowbraeHibby]

We need a win today, 3 points bagged, and the claw back to SEVCO begins. We must push on now for second spot, keep up the good work that has been done. :flag::flag:

[hibsbollah]

I was going to Dumfries anyway, 2 birds 1 stone.

Lots if people saying its a must win game etc but I dont see it. We're no going to win the league and I don't think there's much difference between finishing 2nd or 4th, one extra game to win I know but that still doesn't push it into the must win category.

Would be nice to win, especially for the folk going but imo The result today will have minimal impact on our season.

Wouldn't say must win but the higher up the league we finish the easier things are.

Whether that's one less game or home advantage in the 2nd leg of the 'quarter final'. A win today also keeps momentum going and adds to a growing feel good factor.

Do the 2 birds know you have only 1 stone? :)

[HH81]

Win today please as I'm attending.

2-0 Hibs

[Iceman1875]

How many tickets have been sold? First time to QOOS today looking forward to it!


At Easter Road we play...

[LancashireHibby]

Feel odd to have Hibs playing so close to home (only 2 and a bit hours anyway) and not going to the game, but my kids rugby training doesn't finish until half 12. Not even going to Liverpool v Bolton. Will have to try this Soccer Saturday lark.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Gonna be a tough game. 1-1...

The mint top, a misunderstood classic in my opinion.

Sevco vs Cowdenbeath called off..

Chance to close gap to two points and apply some real pressure. C'mon Hibs.

[Juice-Terry]

Swap Fontaine for Hanlon and you've got all three of my scorecasts covered.

[Hibdan12]

Is dje dje back?

[The Sundance Kid]

Is dje dje back?

Still injured, hopefully should be back next week

[hibsbollah]

Do the 2 birds know you have only 1 stone? :)

They can start digging :agree:

[HappyHibby93]

Big game today, *****y 0-1 will do fine.

Sevco vs Cowdenbeath called off..


Any idea why?

[WillowbraeHibby]

Any idea why?


Cowdenbeath's Championship match against Rangers on Saturday has been postponed after the referee deemed the pitch unplayable.

[nonshinyfinish]

Any idea why?

Their pitch is shan/they can't afford to turn on the undersoil heating/they want to extend the unbeaten run to two weeks.

Take your pick. :wink:

Don't think they have under soil heating. The yams game that was cancelled was as a result of both goalmouths being frozen. I heard they heaven stuck a couple of vans in these areas with the engines running with a view to defrosting those areas.

[nonshinyfinish]

Watching the (shortened due to fog) downhill from Kitzbühel, and a couple of flares have just been lit in the crowd. Can anyone confirm the location of the roguish non-Section 43 young team?

[AngusHibby]

Will the game be on the radio?

[cabbageandribs1875]

we will be benevolent in defence again but will score at least twice against another of our bogey teams....2-1 or 3-1 the away team











please ta muchly





credit where it's due....well done the defence :agree: and well done me on predicting us scoring twice :greengrin

[nonshinyfinish]

Will the game be on the radio?

Would guess not, we were on last week and I think they tend to alternate it with the Hertz games.

What's the team ?

[Aldo]

What's the team ?

I would be surprised if it wasn't the same starting 11 as last week.

No point in changing a winning team IMHO!!

It never seems to be obvious that there is football coverage or which game it is – in previous weeks I've just had to try the live player at 3 and see what I get. Site is weird.
