Most important game in Years!

[Ryan69]

Tomorrow's game is massive! And for the benefit of Scottish Football.....We must progress!

If Rangers get promoted....It's gonna be back to old ways!

This is our biggest game in decades id say!

With Dave King being accepted,This game has just got a whole lot bigger!
The Rangers are pretty rubbish! but if they get promoted....Scottish football is doomed!

Let's show them how it's done....and I believe The Rangers will be liquidated again. Fail and Scottish football suffers forevermore!

Some of the players we have we could only of dreamed of at the start of the season also......Win we can keep this squad together!
Fail and it's back to square 1 I feel!

No pressure then.

[weonlywon6-2]

Not sure football will suffer if rangers get back up, I just don't want that to happen as I would like to see Stubbs Hibs team in the premier league

[Ross4356]

I'd say the 2 games in the play off last year were as big

I keep reading that Sevco are going to be liquidated again. What facts or circumstances will dictate this? Are King and his cronies so financially challenged that they won't keep their club afloat?

Getting relegated had benefitted us. Gave us time to get rid of dead wood,bringing a fresh approach instead of fighting relegation eachyear! That's what we had been doing afterall.

These games are far bigger IMO

Another year in the Championship??

[Golden Bear]

All this press talk about Hibs "bottling it" might just be the spur they need. Man for man, I honestly think we're the better team.

The winner still has to play an SPL team (Motherwell?)
Could still be us and 'All The King's Men' in the Championship next year no matter who wins the next two games.
It bothers me that we think that by beating the Huns we will be promoted.
We've got four big hills to climb before we get to see the Promised Land.

When had anyone said that?
I merely meant it's a huge step for Scottish football if we beat Der Hun!
Motherwell will be tricky and have had a few good results recently. I would of preferred Kilmarnock in the play off

Calm. The. ****. Down

[HibsNutter]

Getting relegated had benefitted us. Gave us time to get rid of dead wood,bringing a fresh approach instead of fighting relegation eachyear! That's what we had been doing afterall.

These games are far bigger IMO

Yeh, it's been brilliant

[greenlex]

All this press talk about Hibs "bottling it" might just be the spur they need. Man for man, I honestly think we're the better team.

I don't get thus bottles tag. After a rocky start and the one game against Rangers where we seemed to think we could just turn up and win I have not seen one oerformance where that bottlers tag could be levelled at this team/squad. Ignore these clowns and get on with the task in hand..

[Ronniekirk]

It's not just tomorrow nights game ,it's the next four games that are Huge. yes I do think it will be four as I believe we can get past The Rangers but only if our Tactics are spot on ,and most players. Play to their potential and handle the pressure and we avoid further injuries and those out injured Boyle apart can hopefully be available for games against Motherwell or second game against The Rangers .Foster though looks like missing both The first two games unless Stubbs is playing mind games

[emerald green]

Sorry, I disagree with the bit in bold. Relegation is never beneficial for a football club.

It would have been far better to have stayed up, then get the club sorted out from top to bottom (which has been done, but from within the Championship).

Instead, Hibs face the possibility and uncertainty of staying down for two seasons at least. Everyone hopes like hell of course that won't happen.

[My_Wife_Camille]

I like your thinking but it's no bigger than our game against Hamilton last year or the Cup Final against them. My god I hope we go back up though...

Spot on.

No room for the mentality of here we go again though. I'll be fully backing the team with everything right to the last whistle of these 4 games.

Relegation has been terrible. The championship is awful. I also can't see any benefit because there's still a chance we won't go up.

Tell me that at the start of the season if we're still in this division.

Aye it's been a hoot.

I've really enjoyed going to cesspits like Cowdenbeath and Alloa and being bored to tears at times watching teams come to Easter Road and put eleven men behind the ball for ninety minutes.

I've had a rare time.

[blackpoolhibs]

Its been terrific, i enjoyed being relegated that much i have been to one league game and a cup semi.

[Sir David Gray]

To be fair, to loosely quote our ex-manager, being relegated last year was maybe not such a bad thing as it greatly reduced the threat of being relegated again this year.

One thing that can't be disagreed on is that relegation has united the fans with the club! So overdue!

We should NOT be a club flirting with relegation every year....and that is where we were!

Plus the club and the fans were not as close in a long long time!

We can do this....and WE will!

Every fan tomorrow who was lucky enough to get a ticket should only wear a Hibs top or a green top, lets make it the Hibs Green corner.

Get right f***ing in to them Hibs team, the new team are pish.

Bring it f***ing it on huns.

bigger game for Sevco i would say. they are up the creek if they stay in the championship. pressure is on them

So are you saying that getting relegated removed the fear of getting relegated? Is that you Terry?:greengrin

[Ryan69]

I must be completely deluded then!
I grew up(34 year old) Hibs were one of the top teams!
Recently...relegation fighting and in house fighting about the way forward!

Now we have a direction and a focus!
All we have todo is give it our all!

We are a better and UNITED team than Der Gun and Motherwell!

Shows how many people have suffered with all the negatives!

We are Hibs! We will fight,bite,scratch and do ANYTHING we can to get where we need tobe!

Failure is NOT an option!

Think what we lose if we don't succeed!
We have a fine team of players!

OR.....lets resurrect this let's next year with ANOTHER year in the Championship!!!!

Lets just ******g do them....end of story!
This is gonna be a battle......and WE are gonna win!

[Ryan69]

Lets hope so.

Give an opinion like everyone......NOT a correction within YOUR view!

[Onion]

Completely agree with this. We have the better team, players and structure but we need to match the Huns will and aggression to win the match.

[IWASTHERE1902]

And don't forget that wee bit extra we will need to beat the establishment. Huns not going up is unthinkable to them. Honestly believe this will be our biggest hurdle, not the Huns.

Cesspits my arse. Ibrox and Parkhead are cesspits.

I disagree, Leanne would have achieved this regardless of the league we were in

[Smartie]

All this press talk about Hibs "bottling it" might just be the spur they need. Man for man, I honestly think we're the better team.

Yep, I agree.

I think the "bottlers" accusation has a wee bit of the self-fulfilling prophecy about it. As soon as we lose a big game it comes out, happily ignoring the fact that we might have won some big games in order to get to that particular big game.

Our derby record has been generally poor but it has hardly been a level playing field. We've done well (after a poor start, again when there was hardly a level playing field) in the derbies this season.

We've done generally well in the games vs The Rangers this season and big refereeing decisions have contributed massively to our negative results in these games.

We were very unlucky to lose on penalties vs Dundee United in the League Cup earlier this season (they were playing well at the time).

We did very well in the first leg of the playoff last season (yes we let ourselves down in the second leg but that shouldn't detract from the good performance and result in the first leg - itself a very big game).

We've let ourselves down in a couple of cup finals recently but we did have to win a couple of tricky semis to get there in the first place.

We won the first cup derby after "that" game.

We let ourselves down in the recent semi but to be honest it was a game we should have won at a canter - it was almost a freak result and the players shouldn't be over criticised for it.

Yes, our results in the big games have been a bit of a mixed bag but I don't think we deserve to be considered to be "bottlers".



We are more than good enough - and resilient enough - to get the results we need over the next couple of weeks.

But nobody should be under any illusions that it will be anything other than very tough - we need to be strong and focussed for 90 minutes on 4 occasions over the next 2 weeks if we are to escape this division. Get out of it first time and it becomes a cheerful anecdote in our history. Stay down and it could be an absolute nightmare so there is no denying that these are big, big games. But we have had a few over the past few years so these ones are nothing new to any of the players.

[Dashing Bob S]

Big game for both clubs, but only so if the winners beat Motherwell. Otherwise meaningless. Strange.

[JeMeSouviens]

Completely agree with this. We have the better team, players and structure but we need to match the Huns will and aggression to win the match.

The New Huns know they can't beat us playing football, so they will be sent out to kick us off the park. We need to be up for it and we need a strong ref. So expect 3 or 4 New Huns to get away with a ticking off for borderline attempted murder and a red card for the first Hibs tackle. :rolleyes:

[southsider]

Six and a half hours to go, I wana be sedated. Nothing to do no where to go-oh, I wana be sedated. Just pour me on the bus and get me to the game. Hurry, hurry, hurry before I go insane. Cannot feel my fingers, cannot feel my brain oh oh oh oh oh oh.

[Thecat23]

Mood in the Rangers camp today is very good. They are very confident of a win at Ibrox tonight.

So Hibs, I hope you have a right go and stick it right up them!!

[The_Exile]

Games like this show what the team are made of, not individuals, but collectively, and that's where I feel our advantage will be. Sevco have been up and down this season in terms of squad morale but we seem to have been flying since September/October time with players all saying they are loving it under Stubbs. I wouldn't be surprised to see the players heading over to the bench tonight o celebrate if (nay, WHEN!) we score.

[bingo70]

Would be nice if at one point we win one of these biggest games in years!

[jacomo]

Would be nice if at one point we win one of these biggest games in years!

I'm over it already.

Saturday!!!

[Alfred E Newman]

Ibrox was always going to be full tonight and that was bound to give the Rangers players a lift after struggling in front of a half empty stadium all season. It's now up to the Hibs support to turn out in big numbers on Sat and get behind the team from the kick off. If we don't win then it won't be for the want of trying on our behalf and that would be the time to look for scapegoats if any, not now.

Apparently it wasn't a sell out. 41,236. 11,000 empty seats.

[Alfred E Newman]

That's a surprise.
