Fair Play to Morton

[Ken]

If someone was going to beat us, that exactly how they need to play. Attack us and take your chances. They could have easily got a fourth too, although we could have made it a different game if we had of scored 1st.

A set back 2/3 weeks before the quarters and the final might not be a bad thing.

Morton got their tactics spot on. Right in our faces with a high tempo.

[Jonnyboy]

No. 16, Bobby Barr was outstanding. Very pacy and can pick a pass.

[cabbageandribs1875]

lets hope jim Duffy is not friendly with jim Mcintyre..or Yogi, duffy gave stubbsy a bloody nose tonight


Barr(16) and McMullun (33) had a great game, infact..i'm sure number 33 was on steroids, another low for our club tonight, was that Morton's biggest win against us at Fortress Easter Road for 100+ years(or sommit like that)

[DaveF]

They also fouled well and got away with it. I'm certain Cummings was pushed when he headed wide and Stokes was pushed when going for the rebound off the bar.

[Billy Whizz]

No complaints, best team won, can't lose 3 goals at home and expect to win

[Dom'sFirstTouch]

They rode their luck defensively in the first half but attacked us from set pieces and hit us on the break in the second half to perfection. Should have scored a couple more. A textbook example of how to exploit our weaknesses.

[villager]

Bobby Barr the key to their game plan after getting the first goal. He delivered big time.

I'm certain Cummings was pushed when he headed wide and Stokes was pushed when going for the rebound off the bar. yes both were fouled especially Cummings chance. Also they were fouling all night and giving themselves high fives when they got away with it.

[cabbageandribs1875]

last time i saw a team so clinical against us at ER was.......inverness caley :agree: the day butcher sat in the main stand after leaving caley during the week leading up to that game



oh aye and as for oxley.... sayin nowt

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

I thought they were one of the worst sides we've played for the first 30 mins, still can't believe they went 1-0 up-we should have been out of sight by then. They played well second half but I would have fancied anyone against us the way we performed for 45 mins.

Both looked stick on fouls and both would have led to a red card. Ref seemed to miss loads

[Pretty Boy]

I'll be having nightmare about that reverse cross field ball for weeks.

They played it on the counter about 10 times and we are probably still trying to work out how to deal with it.

was it him that was stretchered off ? couldn't see over that side :nerd:

Correct. Whilst we were rank they were fortunate to get off with their antics too. There was a foul in the lead up to the second goal by the eventual goal scorer too though that doesn't excuse our ineptitude elsewhere.

[Pretty Boy]

Conor Pepper I think.

Good wee player imo, said it a few years back when he was at ICT.

[Calum68]

Difficult to be too hard on them after the recent run but I genuinely believe we got what we deserved from the game. Oxley is nothing short of a disaster in my view. I say it week in week out. Doesn't control his box, punches the ball back in front of goals and makes stupid errors. Time to give the young lad a game I think.

Anyway, put it behind us and move on.

[Dunbar Hibee]

Morton deserved that 100%. They actually missed a couple of great chances in the second half too.

[MWHIBBIES]

oh aye and as for oxley.... sayin nowtWasn't even our worst player so you should be saying nowt. If Cummings could score from 5 yards we'd have been 2-0 up before they got over the half way line. Stokes also far worse.

nah pepper was subbed on the hour mark, stretchering off was nearer the end i think it must have been McMullan

[Andy74]

Fair play indeed but given some of the results in our recent past that we still talk about this is right up there. It was Greenock Morton at home and we've been well beaten in a must win game.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Yes, they seemed to be that wee bit quicker to everything, which might be a consequence of the amount of games we've played recently. We looked a bit heavy in the legs, despite a couple of changes. Morton deserved their victory.

[ehf]

Pretty sure is was Pepper - their no 15.

[Nicho87]

There pressing all over the pitch was different class. Would be easy to think it was them chasing down top spot. Not good enough hibs.

This - not all his fault tonight but he is an accident waiting to happen every week. The only reason he gets away with it is because their are not too many teams pressurise us even hearts failed to get enough shots on target

[Nicho87]

Oxley is an average joe keeper. He will make mistakes like tonight. Nothing more nothing less. Not a great shot stopper unless straight at him and not good at corners. We can do a lot better

[Sammy7nil]

Next season.
D Utd
St Midden
Dunfermline
QoS
Falkirk
Morton
Raith

Promotion tbis season is vital

[Hibernia&Alba]

Just a straight up lie.

Surely an opinion, rather than a matter a fact :greengrin

[matty_f]

Morton rode their luck loads but in the end were very deserving winners. Pace on the counter attack and organised at the back once they got their act together.

We were minging tonight, Morton took full advantage.

[Bayern Bru]

Yes - taken to hospital after being stretchered off

It was a very good performance by Morton, they chased everything down, scrapped for every ball and attacked with pace throughout the game .... yes they exaggerated injuries and should have lost a couple of goals ..... but they deserved their win.

I would say the Stokes penalty shout was a stick on ... it looked like he would have got a shot in if he hadn't been flattened.

[hfc rd]

Everytime they attacked us, I just felt they were going to score. The 3-0 scoreline looks a flattering scoreline to Hibs as unfortunately it could have been more than 3.

I actually thought the shoreline flattered them. We should have been 3 up at HT

Sad to hear that; a lot of Hibs fans were boo-ing when he went down and even when he was being stretchered off - not Hibs class.

True, but after it went to 0-3, they could easily have had another three and we were not going to score in a month of Sundays.

[Gerard]

I thought we looked lost at sea last night.

[renato]

To be fair, I think the booing was due to the time the medical team were taking to get off their ***** and get the stretcher onto the pitch. Then it was for the faffing of the officials after the boy was carried off (linesman back and forward up the touch line).

Don't think anyone was booing the prone lad on the ground.

[ekhibee]

other way round mate, Pepper was definitely the one stretchered off, Mcmullen was subbed later on.

[portyhibernian]

Morton were more than worthy winners last night, sadly. It was as bad a performance from us as I've seen under Stubbs. Hopefully a boot up the arse going into the final and business end of the season. Promotion is a must this season.
