Hibs vs Queen of the South Match thread.

[silverhibee]

Quite simple in what we need to do today, get 3 points and prey/hope that the new club drop points in the early KO today against the Bairns.

Would expect it to be the same 11 that started last week, nice day for footie on the ground which will suit us just nicely.

Bench could be a bit on the weak side with a few inluries.

:flag: :gwa: :flag:

[Billy Whizz]

Am I correct in thinking that we didn't score at home against them last season?

[Thecat23]

Gutted to be missing this game today. Good luck to the boys 3 points as always, let's keep the pressure right on the Huns.

No Hanlon?

Whats up with Dylan? Is he still injured?

[shamo9]

Bartley and McGeouch still nowhere to be seen. I hope their injuries aren't worse than expected :(

Still come on Hibs:flag:

[SausageSurprise]

Whats up with Dylan? Is he still injured?

Stubbsy said he'd be fit at the AGM. He maybe doesn't want to disrupt things

[seanshow]

Cmon the cabbage :)

its a mild day at Easter road, a stiff breeze from right to left as i sit in the East stand, Lets take advantage of the bairns victory.

[Since90+2]

Stubbsy said he'd be fit at the AGM. He maybe doesn't want to disrupt things

Fair enough with the starting 11 but he should at least be on the bench if he is fit. Seems strange.

[Big_Franck]

Huge game for us now. Need to get the 3 points regardless of how we play.

[Ryan91]

Fair enough with the starting 11 but he should at least be on the bench if he is fit. Seems strange.

Could be resting him for the Hun next week, tore them a new one in the brief time that he was on against then back at start of November at ER

Down the slope 1st half today.

[Off the bar]

C'mon the hibs

[Pretty Boy]

We've started really well.

Few half chances already, look well up for it.

Good to see we've started well. Let's knock 4 or 5 in and make a real statement.

So far, so good!

[Pretty Boy]

Keatings puts a free header wide from 4 yards. Sitter.

[Pretty Boy]

Good save Oxley from a dipping free kick into the wind.

[Pretty Boy]

Cummings effort well saved at the near post.

[GreenLake]

Good save Oxley. Tipped a free kick over

[Pretty Boy]

QOTS player absolutely clatters McGinn, ref was all set to book him then saw the flag was up to say the ball was out so put the card away.

Surely it's still a booking whether the ball is live or not?

[Diclonius]

We look like we've set up to play against a defensive team, but QOS are going for the win here. Been caught off guard a bit.

[Callum_62]

We giving them too much space here

not impressed with us so far, although should be 1 up

[Pretty Boy]

Cummings beats about 20 men then fails to spot an easy 5 yard cut back with 2 options waiting.

[Pretty Boy]

Boyle put through, ball wouldn't drop and scuffed effort was wide as he was bundled over

[Pretty Boy]

Keatings wide from 3 yards this time. Was offside anyway.

[Jones28]

Sounds we're on top, just need to stick one away and the goals will come

[Lago]

Jamie Insall scores for E. Fife

[essexhibee]

Insall scores for east fife.

Jamie Insall scores for E. Fife

Was waiting to watch that on MoTD FFS!!!

[Fife-Hibee]

Haha

[Newry Hibs]

Any radio links?

[Pretty Boy]

Free kick on the edge of the box (well about 25 yards)

[DaveF]

Slack, slow and giving them far too much time on the ball. Need a massive boot up the arse to win this.

[Thecat23]

Still feel Hibs will win this by 2 goals!

[Pretty Boy]

Cummings floats it right into the keepers hands and it's half time.

Lively start, too many poor decisions and misplaced passes since.

[God Petrie]

It's murder watching hibs down slope first half. Ruins whole game. Feel uncomfortable watching it.

[cjward2]

need a goal fired in from around the edge of the box. no joy getting into the box to score. too crowded.

[tamig]

Cummings beats about 20 men then fails to spot an easy 5 yard cut back with 2 options waiting.

He's failed to spot team mates in better positions a few times today. A lot more learning to do for Cummings.

[GreenLake]

I hope Stubbs reminds the players of the result earlier today and the opportunity which it presents for GIRFUY's to the huns.

[trev the hat]

Not convinced Boyle gives us the right balance,, restricts Keatings movement imo, Malonga frees him up more as holds the ball up, creating openings.

[tamig]

Keatings hasn't looked at his best today imo. Touch isn't there. Boyle's pace alone has opened up a few chances first half.

[Heisenberg]

Pish so far.

[trev the hat]

Boyle should have scored, Keats would have tucked it away.
Opinions eh !!

[Smartie]

I think we need to lift it a fair bit, not been too impressed with the first half.

We haven't created nearly enough and our best chance came from good luck and perseverance.

I'd bite your hand off for a scrappy 1-0 with a dodgy penalty.

[tamig]

Boyle should have scored, Keats would have tucked it away.

He should have but Keatings missed header was a howler. I do agree that we don't look as effective up front when the King's not there.

Grays fallen over the ball this half and Boyle is currently down injured.

That's about it.

[Steve20]

With Rangers losing, we should be wiping the floor with QOTS today. Poor so far.

[Pretty Boy]

Free kick edge of the box, right on the line this time.

Keatings gets 3 points at Murrayfield with his effort.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

We've no divine right to beat any team. But hopefully we tuck a couple away!

It's windy and we are making it worse with our tactics. Utter gash so far.

Agree, looks as if not just Rangers stuttering, Hibs as well. Disappointing.

[Jones28]

Cmon Hibs ffs, today is not the day to be making an arse of it

[Dalianwanda]

Plenty of time to get things right..

Double sub at 60 minutes is needed. Boyle and Keatings for Malonga and Anier please.

Total pish. How this team cannot be motivated to put in a performance after the sevco result is beyond me. We may still win but its a pile of crap so far.

[Pretty Boy]

Fonatine headers wide from 5 yards.

For the number of headers he wins the number he gets on target is poor.

[Pretty Boy]

Anier plays it across goal, half a yard behind Malonga who falls over and it's chance gone.

[GreenLake]

Some of the worst misses I have seen! Goal coming soon I think.

[Alex Trager]

Seems like we are turning te screw now.

Hope not to get beat on the break

I'm mot totally sure what happened. The ref stopped the game to allow their 'injured' player treatment. I turned to talk to the guy behind me and turned back when Fontaine had the ball and they were moaning then. Think it was to do with the restart of the game

[Forza Fred]

Is it any wonder some of us have heart conditions?

[MileHighBees]

I think ...
Ref blew for the injured player before Oxley put the ball out.
Hence QoS did not get the throw-in.
Instead ref decided to do a drop ball which he dropped right to a Hibs player (Fontaine?)
Said player immediately passed upfield which soon lead to our goal.

Great win :thumbsup:

Spot on.

QOTS were unsporting with their antics from about 65 minutes onwards.

[tamig]

I think it might be that when the referee restarted play he just gave hibs the ball, rather than let QOTS play it back to us. Not sure though.

A Queens player was there when the ball was dropped but Fonts just took control. Not sure what they were expecting. We have a league to win. Serves them right for the blatant timewasting.

Agreed, nothing wrong with what Fontaine did. Thank goodness Hibs have tough players now who will mix it. David Gray for me a star performer the way he put his body on the line. Bring on The Rangers now!

[BSEJVT]

The whole give the ball back to them idea is a nonsense.

If the ref sees a player injured, he should be the sole arbiter as to whether play needs to be stopped or not.

If it is stopped by him a contested drop ball should signal the restart.

Far too many teams and players abuse the idea they can kick the ball out to waste time and can then get it straight back.

It's football, its meant to be competitive!

You're always playing with fire when you try and settle for a point so early. They played every trick in the book in the last 20 but if anything it galvanised us to pile on the pressure.

Why would we be giving the ball back to QoS ?
When the QoS player was down/injured, Hibs had possession.
If anything the ref should have made a QoS player return the ball to Hibs.
To me he simply cut out the middle man by dropping it straight to a Hibs player instead :greengrin

Ref got it spot on, when he whistled we were in control of the ball, the whistle went whilst fontaine passed back to Oxley. Drop ball for our expected posession was correct and the sporting thing to do. Fontaine did nothing wrong

To be fair to bigstu he's just saying we would be raging if it was the other way about. He does say the got what they deserved.

[Radium]

Spot on.



QOTS were unsporting with their antics from about 65 minutes onwards.


Russell was at it all match 😁

Great to see us fight to the end, but the overall performance was rank rotten and we got away with it big style.
Rank rotten is a bit harsh imo...we scorned 4 or 5 excellent chances and certainly done enough to win the game. Yes we weren't at our best but we weren't rotten

There was absolutely nothing wrong with their player. Well done to Fontaine for not putting up with that 'giving the ball back' rubbish, same with Fyvie last week. It wasn't too far from our own penalty box so we still had plenty to do and didn't we do it in style!! :thumbsup:

First time I've left a game early since Paatelainen was the manager. I guess I got what I deserved but I was simply raging at the insipid performance we'd put in after having been presented with Rangers dropping points for the second week in a row.

All I can say is that managing to grind 3 points out of a performance like that is the mark of champions.

Far too many players were below par today - I thought Gray, Fyvie, Henderson and Cummings were all particularly poor. Stevenson, Keatings, McGinn and Boyle were far from their best, Oxley didn't have much to do, Fontaine was good (but I was raging at that free header he missed - could/should have been very costly) and McGregor was our best starter today.

The 3 subs did well, very well. Anier roughed them up and won some good flick-ons, Dom is a superb footballer and showed the kind of composure we need from our players and I actually thought Feruz was superb, getting the ball and driving at them which unsettled their defenders.


Like last week Stubbs got his starting line-up wrong but rescued it with some good substitutions. Unless he's injured there is no way Dom should not be starting games. Boyle is an impact player and has a lot to offer but it was another headless chicken performance. It's only our second game in 5 weeks or so and we don't have another game for 9 days so I can't see that our line-up needed freshening up or that rotation was necessary.


Great credit to them all though for showing grit and toughness and grinding that out. I'm normally a fairly resilient sort but that pushed me to my limit today. It stands us in very good stead to know that the manager, team and so many of you hardy souls are made of tougher stuff.

The QoS defender had gone down on the edge of his box claiming an injury meanwhile the ball was up at the hibs end in the corner. The ref stopped the game while the ball was still in play for the injury and when the QoS player got up after the game was stopped the ref told him he needed to go off the pitch for treatment which the QoS player was arguing about. The ref then went up to where the ball was after the game had been stopped and dropped it in front of Fontaine to restart the match.

👍👍 I know. I wasn't having a dig and completely get that if the shoe was in the other foot an all that... All I'm saying is, we need to be doing these things as we won't get it all our way!

Biscuits is ABSOLUTELY greeting.

Well I was listening to Op all Mics when Hibs scored and he went absolutely mad celebrating Hibs goal, but lets not let reality get in the way of a good story!!

I thought Gray was outstanding today....put his body on the line time and again in that second half...I agree about the other being below par tho

Why are some folk going on about us giving the ball back? We were in possession when the play stopped. Refs entitled to drop the ball to us.

Absolute non-issue.

:agree:

As Cliff Pike said on HTV, the only person QoS should be upset with is their own player who tried to waste time by pretending to be injured.
The fact that he then had to go off the pitch probably played a huge part in them conceding the goal.
Hibs did nothing wrong.

[Bishop Hibee]

Missed some great chances but never gave up. Great scenes at the end with King Dom's winner. Sets my work night out up nicely 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[Albanian Hibs]

Took my 4 year old son to his very first game today. We left at 90 mins. Heard the cheer outside the stadium and everyone went mental. Son started crying cause he got a fright so I am kind of glad he wasn't inside when we scored 😩

[mghibs]

impression I got from the radio was that a QOS player went down feigning injury, and the ref told him to bugger off the pitch, so any supposed unsporting play from Fontaine is for me cancelled out!

[grunt]

That was my impression too, I think the ref looked a bit pissed off he'd stopped the game thinking he was hurt just to see him spring to his feet as soon as the whistle went.

Sorry it's probably been covered but why were they going so raj at malonga? Surely they're beef should have been with Fontaine?

There was NO unsporting play by Fontaine regardless of how serious the injury was.

Threads about Bobby Sands. These are probably the same people who moan about Daesh/IS/muslims in general being backwards. It's heartbreaking for this country that there are so many people like this.

Nothing would give me more pleasure than beating this club that is nothing more than a focal point for filth.

[silverhibee]

Quite simple in what we need to do today, get 3 points and prey/hope that the new club drop points in the early KO today against the Bairns.

Would expect it to be the same 11 that started last week, nice day for footie on the ground which will suit us just nicely.

Bench could be a bit on the weak side with a few inluries.

Yeah, I saw that you'd mentioned that a couple of posts above mine. Opinions eh?

I just thought he looked careless in possession like a good few of our players today and didn't ever look like he wanted to drive at/ beat his man when he got into decent positions.


To be fair to Queens I thought they did a good job of making things difficult for us, they pressed us high up the park and made it hard for us to get our passing going. That made it hard for us to get our fullbacks into good positions which is a big part of the way we play.

[Pete]

I should have had a bet on us to win the league when the bookies had Sevco at 1/66 or whatever. :-(

Still a long way to go though.
