Simply sublime Stevenson :)

Thank eff for that. This has been a truly worrying game of hit the refresh button for me.

Hahaha, snap!!! I was getting more and more feared every time I refreshed the page.

Fantastic! Bottle of Dark Island in Corpach tastes much sweeter now. We want 3!

Are they walking away yet???? Great stuff Hibernian. Never in doubt😀

[heretoday]

Serves these people right for all the times they've had the ref on their side.

[Aldo]

How the hell can they say it's a handball by Hibs when it was MacGegor that handballed it.

Clark bit even booked

[matty_f]

Rangers could have had a penalty too. :faf:

[stokesmessiah]

[easty]

This **** of a ref needs a ****ing slap.

[Jim44]

Stevenson took a bad one there.

[weonlywon6-2]

Can we sneak a wee third goal in at ibrox,it just wouldn't be the same 😩

[Robinho08]

Hahaha, snap!!! I was getting more and more feared every time I refreshed the page.

Same. Lol.

[stokesmessiah]

They are getting angry!

[rcarter1]

We've been on the other end of that luck so many times. Let's make the most of this

It weird eh? Makes you think all those bad passes, and gifting possession was part of the strategy.. :confused:

[One Day Soon]

I don't understand, where's the The Rangers free penalty?

[cabbageandribs1875]

:singing: can we play you every week

[Onion]

Great to see the Rangers fans leaving

How can the Hun Board decide when they're protesting, or doing their usual walking away ?

I don't understand, where's the The Rangers free penalty?

Re Stevenson goal..

I don't understand, where's the The Rangers free penalty?

They had to give it to Newcastle as loan security.

[Aldo]

Right Hibs keep this tight. We just need to hit them on the break again.

We don't do walking away as Der Hun left in their droves!!

[stokesmessiah]

We actually look good. What a turn around.

[GreenLake]

Thought ref would give a pass back foul there

[One Day Soon]

They had to give it to Newcastle as loan security.

heh heh

[McHibby]

They had to give it to Newcastle as loan security.

[matty_f]

Dunno if we've been lucky or if it's been a master-stroke from Stubbs. I'll go with the latter.

[cabbageandribs1875]

first time in 9 years the last time the buns lost three games on the bounce

[Aldo]

Thought ref would give a pass back foul there

The refs been gagging to give them summit most of the nite tbh

Edit:- there you go shout, not even a foul and you'll get one. Never ever a foul.

Shocking yet again from McLean who wants to stay in their good books

[Onion]

More ref crap decisions !

[One Day Soon]

ah, that's more like it.

[cabbageandribs1875]

referee giving them another ridiculous free kick right in front of goals...bizarre

He'll add ten minutes at the end.

He'll add ten minutes at the end.

Indeed Matty indeed.

[rcarter1]

Dunno if we've been lucky or if it's been a master-stroke from Stubbs. I'll go with the latter.

Stubbs is still learning his trade, and learning about his squad. I would think he won't be delighted with some of tonights performances. But he deserves a lucky wee break now and again.

[Hanny]

1 min left.

[Bristolhibby]

I'd love to see what the locals are like right now outside the main stand.

[Spike Mandela]

For any negative comment I have ever made on here about Lewis I apologise.

Well played Sir!

[Onion]

GREAT WIN for Hibs. The Stubbs revolution rolls on :hibees

[Hanny]

Full time. Job done.

[One Day Soon]

Mess though the The Rangers are, this has been an impressive Hibs performance all round.

[cabbageandribs1875]

YAAAAAASSSSSSS

get it roond ye.

Does this mean we get to keep them?? ;-)

Hanlon and Fontaine were immense but special mention to Scott Robertson who I though covered every blade of grass tackled harried and scored.

Ps if anyone doubted Fyvie's ability then just look at the ball for the 2nd

[coco22]

It is now, as the commentator so beautifully put it in his posh voice, time for the hibees to go raj! Brilliant

[wfortune]

Job done[emoji3]

[JJP]

A stressful watch. Wasn't pretty but the 3 points are in the bag and I'm delighted. Need to keep winning and take 2nd place and if we do that I fancy us for promotion.

[Onion]

To come away from ipox with a 2-0 win after a poor performance says how far we have come . Thank you hibs

Huns gave 100% and tried as hard as they could, and we still dubbed them - pleasing :greengrin

That headed goal-line clearance by Fontaine was key. Great team spirit at Hibs !

[heretoday]

You have to give full marks to Fontaine and Hanlon for last ditch defence at times. Some others have to take a look at themselves for continually giving the ball away.

Sign of champions though- winning when playing badly.

[21.05.2016]

Brilliant hibs! didnt play well but we ground it out!



GIRFUY ya ****ing hun mutants :giruy2::giruy2::giruy2::giruy2:

Poor performance but a couple of bits of class were the difference. I think the change of system was a mistake but the result was everything tonight and the win will delight the fans and Stubbs .

[ionahibby]

Rangers fans i know are suicidal that's for sure, convinced we are going up and they aren't!

[worcesterhibby]

that was a horrible match to watch until the last 2 minutes. Great defending, rode our luck and took our chances. I love Lewis Stevenson !:flag::flag:

[cabbageandribs1875]

wouldn't be undeserved if Robertson was our best player tonight(imo)


and as i speak...he did indeed get it :agree:

[Pete]

I think it was deliberate.

We let them have so much of the ball just to prove that we can beat them that way as well. Top defending.

As Jesse Pinkman would say: we made them our bitch. :greengrin:

[AltheHibby]

From the BBC:

"We're into stoppage-time and the home fans are streaming for the exits"

Looks like they do do walking away. :-)

[HappyAsHellas]

Probably our biggest test of the season so far, not playing well but keeping their attack limited to speculative shots from outside the box. Some crosses caused a bit bother now and again on what was probably their best performance of the season. Thought the players worked well tonight although it wasn't pretty. Delighted for Lewis, great goal although suspect the keeper has crisp bag wrists.

We definitely defended well, no doubt - I'm delighted with the win, just shows how far we've come that a relatively disappointing performance (in context of our recent dominant performances) has seen us to a pretty comfortable 2-0 win at Ibrox.

We are capable of moments of magic and it's those passages of play which won us the game tonight, and will win us 3 points going forward. Winners win these games, we are a completely different team from a year ago and genuinely think we will finish strong and can take that 2nd place.

Wee Louis brings his goals to games ratio down to 1 goal every 60 matches. That's prolific. Mon the Stevenson!

[Stuarty27]

We were lucky to win that game all being honest, but Louy was right at the end, how many times have we battered teams and not got what we deserved,


What a pass from Allan and Fyvie for the goals, that was the difference between the two teams. Rangers could of played for the next 2 months and not scored.

Tin hat on here big time, but I'm in a great mood :partyhibb - maybe Liam Craig could have helped us keep possession better in the sscond half rather than try to do everything too quickly against a team that pressed us hard all game ? :tin hat: :duck:

Was desperate to get a ticket for this for myself and daughter but couldn't, so went up to pub which was full of Huns and is owned by a season ticket holder. You can imagine the joy. I'm loud and don't hold back! GIRFUY!

As has been said already, the difference from last season is immense with control, awareness and confidence so obvious - at least until the second half, but the difference is, even when we play crap, we can still do the biz.

[NYHibby]

Who were the guys in the far end of the lower Broomloan stand with the drum? The Rangers fan sitting around me were really pissed off at them for the entire game.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Just back fi the pub. My take on tonight's game? We played badly and won, just like hertz have done all season, I was never worried that the rangers would score, they tried really hard but we were superior all over the pitch, we proved tonight we've had a change in mentality, previous Hibs teams would have lost that, even with the rangers finding hard to hit a barn door. I give that credit to Stubbs. His calm confidence is finally rubbing off on the players. We have a great squad, proof if needed that a Stubbs can spot a player. Fyvies assist for Lewis' goal was sublime.

The rangers better hope these 5 NU player can turn their season around, at this rate I could see the top 4 being the puddle drinkers, us, QotS and Falkirk.

It's been a long time since I felt that confident watching Hibs, I really think we have some exciting times ahead of us. GGTTH, in Stubbs we trust.

[Corstorphine Hibby]

If we drop points here Stubbs has to be questioned.

:rolleyes:

Changing a winning formation back to 352 and sticking with it is strange. It really isn't working and a Rangers goal is looking likely.

Two shots on target and two goals 😜 that's no a bad return.

[portyhibernian]

Not long back from the game, not seen any of it back but my thoughts are that Rangers were probably the better team tonight, had two or three clear cut chances that on another day might have cost us. Stubbs had us set up the same as last time we went to Ibrox with three at the back with Gray and Stevenson providing the width and dropping back when they needed to, which Rangers possibly expected, hence why I think it didn't work quite as well as before.

Individually speaking, Fontaine's header off the line in the first half was great defending, I think his positional awareness is very good and we need to get him tied up. I thought Allan was poor and gave it away a few times in dangerous positions which put us under pressure, Robertson played well and notched another goal for the season which is pleasing.

Our second goal was the best bit of play in the game from either team and fair play to Stevenson he took it brilliantly on the full volley. We took our chances when they came and Rangers didn't therefore I think we probably deserved to take the points in the end.

[MoscowHibs]

I'm no long back and whilst it wisnae the best performance ever, it's good tae see us grind out a result. To me that is a huge positive as last year this sorta result would not have been gained. Had the added bonus of speaking to Martin Boyle at petrol station in Perth, top bloke, had a lot of good things to say about the club.

[capitals_finest]

Sat watching it next to my blue nose best mate. Cannot tell you all how proud I am of the players, manager and supporters tonight...

What can I say, I just feel great...

[SteveHFC]

Just spotted myself on tv after our first goal :faf:

[Chuck Rhoades]

Who were the guys in the far end of the lower Broomloan stand with the drum? The Rangers fan sitting around me were really pissed off at them for the entire game.

If only the pricks watched the game.

Stubbsy, stubbsy!!!

OP: We are better than Hibs.

Response:

Played 3. 2 at home.

Goals for: 1

Goals against: 9

Aye, we're better...

At being *****.

[Golden Bear]

If ra gers do manage to make it to the play offs then it's good to know that over two legs, we can still come out on top regardless of the tactics we choose to employ.

Onwards and upwards.

The likes of McCulloch, Black etc have all been found out this season for what they are. They are poor players but have managed to get away with it the last two seasons because they have been playing 3rd and 2nd division part-timers. This season against tougher opposition they have been found out for what they are.

Talking about TV, they zoomed into Judy Murray sitting in the stand. I wonder if all the Murray's have bought their maximum shares yet???

I can understand why we went the way we did formation-wise, expecting an onslaught from them given the last result and given they were home.

Three at the back against two very experienced strikers should have given us insurance but I thought Rankgers dealt with that by dropping Miller back a bit and it didn't look like any of our CBs followed him out. That allowed them the numerical advantage in the middle and create the space for some of their early chances.

[Billy Whizz]

Just thinking back to being locked in the ground after the game last night. Around 4 groundsmen came out on grass cutters. The Hibs fans started shouting
"Ally Ally gies a wave"
Had me in stitches

Think his dad was sat behind her?

[PatHead]

The chants of "Keep the Board" didn't go down too well in the main stand.

I couldn't make it out until they started getting upset.

[weonlywon6-2]

If we do play rangers in a play off,wonder how many tickets we would get for ibrox

Probably the same as last night, unless Leeann negotiates with them and threats to cut their away allocation for our home leg

[Pete]

We should demand the exact same percentage as we give them. If they want the whole Dunbar end then we should insist on the entire broomloan. If they start dicking us about with one or even two thousand for Ibrox then we can stick a few hundred of them in half the lower tier.

Money goes out the window.

If we were to demand the same percentage of tickets for Ibrox that they get for Easter Road, we would be looking at an allocation of almost 9000.

With the best will in the world, we're not going to get that sort of allocation and we wouldn't require that amount of tickets either to be honest.

For a play off we'd easily fill the Broomloan, which is what? 7k or thereabouts?

[Sir David Gray]

I agree, we would fill the Broomloan and yes it's about 7000.

That still falls some way short of the percentage of tickets that we give them for ER though which is what the original poster was looking for us to do.

That only equates to roughly 75% of the South Stand.

I think Hibs could realistically negotiate the entire Broomloan v the entire South.

[Sir David Gray]

I think Hibs could realistically negotiate the entire Broomloan v the entire South.

Hopefully.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get no more than 2000 tickets though.

Especially considering the fact that Ibrox will be nowhere near full. I can't see them wanting 7000 Hibs fans behind one of the goals, when there's maybe only going to be 30,000 Sevco fans in the other three stands.

Hopefully this will be the first leg as well as it would mean that we've finished second, unless we finish third and Sevco finish fourth!

[Golden Bear]

Steady guys. Hopefully we'll get there but as things stand, both Queen of the South and Falkirk are well in the mix so neither us or Der hun should take a play off place as being guaranteed.

[Peevemor]

Of course you're right, but IF we play Sevco in the play-off and they don't give us the entire Broomloan, then there's no way (IMO) that Hibs will give them all the South.

[Sir David Gray]

I'm not worried about either of them overtaking us.

Queen of the South are a bit closer to us than I expected them to be at this stage of the season but I'm still confident that we'll finish no lower than third.

We've been ahead of them now for the past two months and I can't see us losing that lead.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Back to the game, the sevco fans are very pleased with their performance a day we're a bit underwhelmed. We won, they lost. How many times have we seen that against Celtc and Rangers (rip)? No use being plucky and playing well and getting battered on the breakaway, winners will win.

Good article, except the use of the phrase "Wee Lewy " which only sounds not ridiculous if said by his mum.

Re. the last sentence. How long have you been supporting Hibs?

[CallumLaidlaw]

Re. the last sentence. How long have you been supporting Hibs?

Exactly. how long did we spend in 11th place last season? 1 week?

[Sir David Gray]

Exactly. how long did we spend in 11th place last season? 1 week?

Entirely different situations.

Although our spot in 11th place was only confirmed on the final day of the season, I think most people who had been following Hibs' performances and results last season felt that our spot in the play off place, and subsequent relegation, was inevitable from about March onwards.

I know I did. We were a complete shambles during the latter part of last season and it certainly wasn't a shock when we lost to Kilmarnock and then to Hamilton.

There's a completely different feel around the club now, both on and off the pitch, and whilst things are certainly not perfect, we are playing decent football now and picking up good results most weeks and have been doing so for the last four or five months.

I'm confident that we'll finish no lower than third and I'm optimistic that we can still finish second, considering the state that Sevco's in at the moment.
