Not Hanlons best game for hibs tonight, looks a bit off the pace

Good flick down though :greengrin

[Mr White]

Great finish. Tell you what we can beat these ****s next month :thumbsup:

[Gatecrasher]

Nice finish from Gunnarsson.

[jgl07]

Tbf a lot of moaning about Oxleys crucial mistake is giving you a pretty good feel of what it's like at ER.

Or maybe we should just ignore the bad bits?
The words come to me:

You've made your point so stop banging on about it.

It happened bloody half an hour ago FFS!

I am am getting far more information from Bet 365 updates than Hibs Net and the useless BBC updates.

And far quicker including Hibs 3 Rangers 1.

[Onion]

Commentators doing my nut in. Shamelessly rooting for Sevco when it's a meaningless match for them and vital for Hibs . Pathetic stuff.

[BarneyHibby]

Fantastic strike by Gunnarsson!:flag:

[SunshineOnLeith]

Oxley should have saved it.

[rotherhamrob]

Come on hibs, let's smash them and give them something to think about come may.

[Off the bar]

Yup I knew as I posted that as was setting myself up for a fall!

[rcarter1]

Oxley should have saved it.

But he did not. Get over it.. :greengrin

Steady

[jacomo]

Have Der Hun resorted to trying to hurt our players yet?

[SaulGoodman]

Well we don't want them to run up the steps. Nice and steady will do.

[Pretty Boy]

Decent build up, rushed final ball by Lewis.

We look comfortable here

[rotherhamrob]

Agreed, looks a good player.

[IWasThere2016]

[SHODAN]

Naw. They don't look too bothered.

[trev the hat]

Typical Hibs net bull****.

Hibs are beating Rangers 2-1 and all the talk is slagging off Stubbs and Oxley.

I am in Oman trying to get a feel for the match and all I hear is moan moan bloody moan. Maybe the Jambo infestation is worse than I thought.

I wonder why I bother. On reflection I probably will not.

Oman it's no that bad 😄

[Pretty Boy]

Maybe time for a pair of fresh legs in the middle?

[DUX]

Well done Gunny! :greengrin

[Mr White]

Maybe time for a pair of fresh legs in the middle?

The middle of the goals? :devil:

[Pretty Boy]

Free kick 25 yards out

[neil7908]

Things we've learned tonight:

1) Logan needs to play
2) Gunnarsson needs to play
3) Long live the 3-5-2

[Pretty Boy]

Standing ovation for Logan

Stokes free kick very well saved.

[rcarter1]

This 3-5-2 sit back a bit and make things tough could be a great tactic in our play offs (away games particularly).

[Joe6-2]

Things we've learned tonight:

[blackpoolhibs]

Cummings and Stokes have done really well up front tonight. :top marks

[HibernianJK]

Gunnarsson defensively looks superb however I'm concerned about his ability (goal aside) he gives away possession very easily.

[rcarter1]

Im warming to Stokes. This signing could work out perfect if he starts to peak around now.

[carnoustiehibee]

Yip, simple really

[Benny Brazil]

Would replace Cummings now with fresh legs - he's tiring

[Pretty Boy]

As I said earlier, makes a difference when they can play right up top.

[Off the bar]

Not sure about everyone else but I'm fair enjoying this tonight! Just poured a large Bowmore to treat myself!

[blackpoolhibs]

77 minutes gone and thats the first time they have got in behind us with width and pace. :top marks

[Hibby Bairn]

Barry McKay playing very well just now. Looks like a really good developing young player.

A lot of hoofball to no one now. Need to keep the ball

Goal Huns.

[blackpoolhibs]

Oxley again. FFS.:rolleyes:

[Captain Trips]

Cmon now Hibs concentrate lets not **** up another lead. It aint over until the fat lady has sung, done an encore and went home in a taxi.

[Gatecrasher]

Gonna be a long 5 minutes.

[R'Albin]

Jesus Christ Oxley.

[Scorrie]

Need to play further up the pitch. Way too deep

[SkintHibby]

Does Oxley actually make a save EVER?

[rcarter1]

It was getting about that time we let a two goal lead slip…. :worried:

[Brightside]

good strike. inside post. nuff said. will end up a draw.

[Jim44]

Squeaky bum time yet again.

[BroxburnHibee]

We invited that on to us but that was a peach of a strike.

[Onion]

Spoke too soon. Here we go again 😬

[OtleyHibs]

Andy Walker has been brutal to listen to all night.

Come on Hibs, see this out! Been sitting too deep inviting them on too much the last ten minutes

[1987kev]

Why have we still got 2 forwards on?????

[Off the bar]

Why is it never easy?

[Pretty Boy]

Keatings tells Stokes where to put it, he does. Keatings stops.

[Scottie]

What minute does The Rangers penalty come in ?

[kentao]

Was a good strike but it was from 30 yards out and only 3 yards to your left and still got no where near it. Shots to goals ratio 2 : 2

[rcarter1]

Andy Walker hates Hibs because he played for us and was largely anonymous. Totally annoying human being.

Bartley MOM

[AL-Qaholik]

Has Oxley made a single save???
Utter liability!

[blackpoolhibs]

Watch their 2nd goal again, Oxleys foot movement is nil again. he's an absolute joke.

[Pretty Boy]

Dagnall on for Stokes.

[Lee Marvin]

Bartley MOM

No surprise there. He has been motm in about 50% of matches I've seen

[DUX]

Goodness Gracious Me.

C'mon tae **** Hibs! Don't let them equalise!

Hearts have done well recently in passing on their wasters to us. Keatings is another one heading for the exit. Some just don't have what it takes to be a professional footballer.

[Pretty Boy]

Fyvie booked for getting pushed

[Dalianwanda]

And strikers are paid to score goals....They get a bit of credit when they knock one in.

he kneed the player in the back....silly from him.

He made 2 decent saves tonight & 2 he should be saving easily.

Calm down, it was meant in a roll your eyes type way not literally.

[OtleyHibs]

Excellent result Hibs, sets us up for the fight for second place and that win will do the confidence no harm for remaining league games and the final!

GGTTH

[blackpoolhibs]

Great win well done Hibs. :top marks

With a goalkeeper who has hands though, we win this game 3-0.:rolleyes:

[Onion]

Huns were not at their best and controlled the ball for long spells, but Hibs got that little bit of luck when they needed it, for a change. Stubbs has got a decision to make about Oxley. His error was horrendous and could have been extremely costly. We have a very capable back up !!

3 points behind, game in hand. Game still on.

[trev the hat]

Big win well done Hibs keeps pressure on

[Jim44]

Great Result! Falkirk have to work for 2nd now.

....... And we don't? It's mathematically in their hands as it stands. They can only lose 2nd place but you're right, they have to work hard to hold on to their advantage.

[Cheshire Hibby]

Well done Hibs. Always good to beat the Rangers.

Huns controlled the ball? I didn't see much of that... they were closed down very quickly by all our players...i would be giving any of the outfield players any stick tonight. Solid hard working performance.

Yip, the system does give them a lot of the ball but when we win it we get at them in numbers. It also shuts down the space wide for both attacking wing backs to exploit.

I said it on the match day thread, it took until the 77th minuye for them to get behind us for the first time.

We virtually snuffed their main men out for the whole match, and if we had a decent keeper we'd have won 3-0.

Really impressed with Fraser fyvie tonight although he tired towards the end

Agree 100% with this. The Hun had a lot of the ball but looked uncomfortable and frustrated against this formation. It was a bit of role reversal of many Hibs-Rangers games i've seen down the years. Yes, had it been the other way around, they would have won 3-0, as they wouldn't tolerate a keeper performing like that. Few clubs, bar us, would do this.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Can we beat them twice in a row.....i bloody hope so

[Kato]

Oxley's dead if this goes in...


Blimey.

[MileHighBees]

If I've counted correctly, that was already our 12th game against them over the last 2 seasons.
6 wins and 6 losses.
That includes the 2 fairly meaningless challenge cup defeats but, to be fair, also includes the home play-off win that was an aggregate loss.
So pretty much a 50-50 record.

Also, I know no-one here is a neutral, but from a neutral point of view, the 4 league games against them have probably been the 4 best games of football we've had in the championship this season.
Say what you like about everything else surrounding that club but they do actually attack and try to play football.
Unlike most others who 'park the bus' or kick us all over the park or both.

[emerald green]

Great result Hibs. First back to back home league wins against the Ibrox club since 1994 according to BBC website.

It's really frustrating Hibs couldn't see it out and beat Falkirk recently. Would have been on same points tonight with a game in hand.

Big games coming up at weekend. Morton v Hibs and Raith Rovers v Falkirk.

Kenny Miller - wee s****. Why did Hibs sit so deep at the end of the match? Tiredness?

[Stuarty27]

Hats off to Stubbs the night, game plan was terrific.

True that - Rangers are the least physical team in the league along with us. Still Rangers through.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Just back, delighted with the win.

3-5-2 all day errrrr day.
Really like Gunnarsson. Just about uprooted the goal frame with that strike.
Fyvie effervescent.
Bartley strolling it like an enforcer.
Stokes absolutely ran himself into the ground the whole game.
Cummings blowing out his bumhole after 60mins.
Oxley makes you panic constantly.
David Gray hard as nails again.
How Boyle didn't come on for Cummings to counter them as they sat on the halfway line I have no idea, however, we won so fair play, Stubbsy.
The Rangers really need brought to task for their sectarian megamix.
One last addition...the pressing and closing down at times was a joy to watch. They CAN be got at if you pressure them.

Yep, it's ****ing pathetic. Genuinely staggering. Why should the players give a single jot about winning or losing if both just result in whining and moaning. I love this club but my word we don't half have our fair share of numpties in our support.

[FranckSuzy]

Oxley is worse than a man down.


Here he is. Were you sitting in the West Lower tonight by any chance?

I sit in the FF lower and apart from the moans & groans at the first goal I didn't hear any booing of Qxley during the game and certainly not in the way you are suggesting, yes maybe one or two booed within your earshot, but to say the "FF Lower" booed our keeper is a huge exaggeration IMO.

[GreenLake]

Had to watch this recorded about 50 minutes behind so had to read this thread after.

1. Great game to watch and the Hibs fans sounded deafening!
2. Their keeper made a howler after they gifted us the first goal. I wish he had waited till the final. :greengrin
3. Oxley's mistakes kind of evened things out on luck but Gunnarson's cracking shot won the game on pure skill.
4. The idiot pundit on US Fox Soccer Plus channel was exactly as you described. I don't know if it was the same guy you had but he was a complete tool and one of the most biased and deluded idiots I have heard. I guess we are not important enough to get intelligent US TV soccer pundits like Ian Joy or Eric Wynalda who cover European games. I was tempted to check if there was a second audio channel in Spanish.
5. Stokes worked his socks off.
6. Fyvie was great too.
7. We can win the cup.
8. We can win the cup.
9. We can win the cup.
10. I think we Hibeed on Warburton's cornflakes.

[HH81]

Both keepers made errors resulting in goals. A goal is a goal so each mistake was just as important?
