Goal! Morton 0, Hibernian 1. Anthony Stokes (Hibernian) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by John McGinn.


we've got McGinn
super john McGinn

I knew Crazyhibby would come good :greengrin

Don't encourage him. He's just a very naughty boy.

You need to look at your autocorrect - it's changing alongside to instead of.

Yeah, noticed that - every time we score/win their tone goes into the 'Announcing a death' mode !!

oooohh 938 members on....that's a lot :greengrin

Shocking commentary on HibsTV. I had no idea we had scored due to the lack of emotion in the commentator's voice.

Unbelievable. Didn't know we had scored . Wtf was that all about .

[Viva_Palmeiras]

according to Charlie Mann it's his first for us :confused:

Noticed that too - poor effort considering the amount of attention his move attracted...

yeah you should always drop your top scorer who seems to thrive in the big games for the big games eh :agree:

Not convinced he's suited to playing off the strikers/at the top of the diamond.

He done well to set Stokes up and scored a few goals prior to that playing as a striker so maybe he can make it.

Levein may be grade A roaster, but I get the impression he looks for weakness in his squad and punts them as fast as he can. In short he's got the decisiveness that Petrie never had.

Following the result Saturday tonight was a game where we could easily have stumbled. Grinding out another result is superb to see , and a credit to the players still recognising the league is priority. Solid effort.

MOrton may be a skank place to have to play .... Still an improvement from where we had to play at the weekend tho 😎

[emerald green]

A very good result tonight for Hibs. Taking absolutely nothing for granted, if Hibs win their game in hand they are five points behind the new Ibrox club.

What bothers me is there doesn't seem to be anyone apart from Hibs likely to beat them anytime soon. Their next three games taking us up to the end of February are Alloa (A), QOS (A) and St Mirren (H).

[The Pointer]

Thanks for the updates PB. Obviously a load of people on here were depending on you and others for their fix.

I had the radio on as well but there were no updates apart from the score whilst the PT/Motherwell game sounded gash.

Stubbsy was putting a decent spin on the result and he's right given the 'remotivation' they'll have been doing on the players since Saturday, the changes to the team and the fact that Stokes scored.

After the great Cup win there's always the danger of a reaction and a poor performance. While we didn't hit the heights tonight the 3 points were the most important thing. Job done .

I wasn't having a go at folk for not posting as such .... it would just be good to hear from a few more than just the usual suspects, including me :greengrin

Hahaha the reporter at the Hibs match kept saying Stokes has scored on his return to Hibs...so that'll be his second goal in TWO games lol

Charlie Mann - heard him. Thought RG would correct it but he didn't bother his arse.

Good first post :greengrin

Aww naw. That's me going to be up all night worrying about the quality of my 2nd post 😱

Seriously though there are loads of us furtive lurkers that rely on this forum : the match updates are way more accurate, regular and enjoyable than the lame media gash we are fed (or not fed depending on das media). Big thanks

EDit : ok will worry about my 3rd post now instead

[emerald green]

We've played an extra game at Ibrox and Falkirk. We have to beat them and hope Falkirk get something again.

I agree. If Hibs are to win the Championship, they will certainly have to beat them, a draw is no use now, and hope Falkirk (or anyone!) can take points off them. If only Falkirk had held on for a draw at Ibrox.

It's just not in our own hands at the moment. See ancient hibee's post below too, and my reply.


As some said at the time -that result at Dumbarton will come back to haunt us.

It might, but I really hope not.

[green.and.white]

A very good win in a tricky game with difficult conditions. Well done lads, on to the Derby!

[HappyHibby93]

Sorry if this has been posted before ( couldn't be arsed reading through) how many hibees were through tonight?

Just in from Cappielow (guessing my journey wasn't as long as others but did find myself sliding across some treacherous snow in the hills near Kilmacolm which was a bit of a scary moment on my way to the game :rolleyes: Almost turned back at that point)

Hibs were pretty dominant and I never felt Morton were ever a threat. Stokes took his goal well but the two stand outs for me were McGeouch who looked dangerous going forward every time and Gunnarson who looked commanding dealing with anything that came his way down that side. It was a professional job against a poor side and although we looked tired, we deserved it. Ref was equally shocking for both sides - I felt we were lucky to get away with the handball shout tbh.

[Albanian Hibs]

Just home. That was the coldest I have ever been at a match. Morton didn't really cause us many problems. Stokes should have made it 2 not long after he scored the first and that would have killed them off.

Good to hear on Gunnarson. Thought he looked like he had something about him at Raith but struggled with fitness and the pace a bit.

I thought he strolled it tonight.

Thought he did well defensively tonight, which is his main duty. Got to do a bit better with his final ball though

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Rangers last two games have been massively frustrating. Injury time winner on Saturday and a dodgy decision to win tonight by all accounts. We need to start getting these breaks, as well as doing our own job obv-which we've done again tonight

Spot on, but it also demonstrates what we already know: they aren't great and can be beaten and caught. If we beat them at ER in March, we could be in a position to really put them under pressure.

[ALF TUPPER]

Was freezing at Greenock. Cappielow hasn't changed. I stood in the same puddle during the game ,....,. back in 1984. Well done all the Hibbies who were able to come along tonight.
Result was about right in the end. We ground that score out where in the past we would have.

Special mention for Dylan McGeoch - he was great tonight. Bossed everyone.

3 points tonight at a grotty Cappielow, a cup final and a crack at the Jambos this weekend. It's good being a Hobby just now 👍🏻

[H18 SFR]

Just back to a bovril and a ham toastie from the missus, speaking of toast, McGeouch had them on toast all night. Super win, super job done tonight.

Quick note re the ref, what an absolute howler - great entertainment though.

Yes!

[B.H.F.C]

Job done. Nothing special but never under any real pressure. Similar to a lot of games this year.

[whereswallace?]

I am also just back and have a completely different opinion in Gunnarson. He had a couple of good tackles in the second half but thought he was poor, he was caught out of position a few time both attacking and defending, looks slow and very awkward at full back. First game so benefit of the doubt but I wasn't impressed.

Mcgeouch was head and shoulders above anyone on the pitch, sometimes guilty of one too many touches but he was superb.

If we had brung our shooting boots first half, the game would have been dead and buried by half time. Happy with the performance, controlled and never in much trouble. A good 3 points.

[anon1875]

I think Gunnarsson stopped every attempted cross today, he was solid at the back.

[Greencore]

Well done to everyone who made the journey!

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Midweek games away at this time of the year are all about the result. Job done and move on.

Spot on. It was a great 3 points. But we move on. March is looking a massive month for us but then again so is April and May

[theonlywayisup]

Vardy just scored a stoater for Leic.

What a goal. Wow!

[E10 Rifle]

I thought a lot of the players looked a bit tired in the second half understandably but everyone put in a decent shift. McGeoch and McGregor were the best two for me with a great shift from Fyvie. Keatings was the only below par performance I would say. 3 points in the bag. Nice one.

I think hats off the Morton groundstaff - the pitch looked in great nick and thumbs down to their supporters however who haven't a clue.

"Handball"

[Wheat Hound]

I concur that McGregor and McGeouch were superb tonight. Was disappointed in Keatings again; even his workrate was in question tonight. I do rate him though and hopefully he gets a goal soon to boost his confidence.

The ref was shocking. So far behind play and his booking of Lewis was ludicrous.

[matty_f]

Not long in as well, thought we were good in patches tonight, and quite careless at other times.
Ref was brutal, just brutal. Thought we deserved the win overall, McGeouch and Fyvie were our best players tonight.

[Aubenas]

Good performances from McGeouch, who was superb, and from Fyvie and Henderson. Thought Gunnarson played well also. Could have been a banana skin but we coped well.

Talking of banana skins - one burger van for the whole away end! Arrived home starving - thank God Franco's in Stockbridge still open! :not worth

I like Cappielow as an old time stadium, but standing on a bench in the pouring rain on an empty stomach is not calculated to aid enjoyment. Nor was that ref who was honking!

A good 3 points.he played his first game at Starks Park for Hibernian and lasted not long into the second half iirc? he was a bit sloppy, with passes, and positioning etc but I put that down to being his first game, and not quite up to speed. did he last 90 mins? he is renowned for long throw ins but only saw one, at Raith. was he doing anything special with that? don't think he will replace the club captain, on Sunday

[hibbypostie]

just seen the goal great interception and pass from McGinn but Stokes just got away with that and by the look on his face he knew ithttp://www.hibs.net/images/smilies/thumbs%20up.gif

At the game it did look like either a great bit of skill or a miss control. Video confirms the latter.

Pity he didn't score again straight after.

Indeed he did, my mistake there. He was replaced probably with about 10 to play last night by Gray. He had a couple of short throws that looked suspiciously like foul throws,

Don't mean to bash the guy before he's started, just my opinion. Having watched him last night for the first time.

Haha, how annoying was that, everytime the ball went near one of our players they were shouting for a handball 😂😂

[blackpoolhibs]

That finish from Stokes singles him out from any of the other forwards we have, yes he miss controls the original pass, but there's no panic and he just strokes it into the back of the net.

Thats quality. :top marks

[EH54]

Big shout out to the guy in the stand near the dugout that continuously shouted abuse towards stokes gave us a little bit more entertainment on a cold night guessing the fares to Kirkcaldy was just out of your price range.

Gunnarsson i was rather impressed with not much to offer going forward was a bit frustrating but defended very well and that's all i care about from defenders, Dylan was superb again had a few dodgy moments but it was a difficult night just glad to get out of there with the 3 points and now move onto Hearts with confidence still high and in good form!
