Hibs 2 v 0 Raith Quarter Final 2nd Leg

[Pretty Boy]

McGinn shot smashes off Hanlon and spins a yard wide.

[Aldo]

Cmon Hibs let's put this game to bed!!

[Pretty Boy]

Bartley on for McGeough.

[Ryan91]

Had some really good chances to score a 3rd but no luck so far.

Bartley on for McGeouch

[Aldo]

Bartley on for McGeough.

Tactical PB or is DM injured or just knacked?

[Ryan91]

Tactical PB or is DM injured or just knacked?

Probably knackered

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Tactical PB or is DM injured or just knacked?

Both. Hope we are not looking to see this out.

[Killiehibbie]

Tactical PB or is DM injured or just knacked?
Settling for 2-0?

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Our problem is the we don't score enough goals

[Bristolhibby]

Cmon Hibs, we need another. My arse won't take this.

J

[Lago]

Derek Ferguson making the point that Hibs areplaying a dangerous game by slowing down the play.

[heretoday]

Both. Hope we are not looking to see this out.
Suicidal tactics.

[Pretty Boy]

Starting to sit in here and looking a bit nervy.

Keatings sent out to warm up.

[Cabbage East]

Our problem is the we don't score enough goals


Surely not! Cutting analysis there mate.

[Aldo]

Probably knackered

After an hour I would suspect it's that.


Both. Hope we are not looking to see this out.

Hope is just lack of match fitness and not another injury


Settling for 2-0?

Hope not we should be at them for a 3rd.

[Ryan91]

Is that the worst corner ever taken, woeful from the Raith boy

[renato]

We've all seen this script before. Really hope I'm wrong, get a 3rd and kill this game Hibs!

[Moulin Yarns]

Good applause at 72 minutes from the Hibs fans

[GreenLake]

Bartley mistake in the box gives a corner away. We need another goal.

[Off the bar]

Is that the worst corner ever taken, woeful from the Raith boy

Was just thinking that is probably the worst corner I've ever seen

[Aldo]

We've all seen this script before. Really hope I'm wrong, get a 3rd and kill this game Hibs!

Exactly R.

They will however need to commit something in the closing stages.

A 3rd is a must as I'm not sure many could handle the final stages with backs to wall!!

[GreenLake]

Free header for Toshney. We look weak in defense. Keatings or Boyle on please, start attacking them

[Onceinawhile]

C'mon Hibs!!

[Aldo]

Free header for Toshney. We look weak in defense. Keatings or Boyle on please, start attacking them

We don't want to invite pressure and need to get back in front foot

[Mr White]

Boyle would be my choice

[Pretty Boy]

McGinn caught on the ball and they had numbers. Lucky the pass was overhit and we got away with it.

[GreenLake]

Toshney lucky to stay on the park after thumping into Bartley. Ref leaning towards Raith this half

[OsloHibs]

Come on hibs

[renato]

Exactly R.

They will however need to commit something in the closing stages.

A 3rd is a must as I'm not sure many could handle the final stages with backs to wall!!

Totally. Need Boyle on to threaten them on the break.

[Pretty Boy]

Stubbs needs to get JC off.

He's having a mare and some of the abuse he's taking is pretty poor.

[Aldo]

Cmon Hibs let's get back at them!

Wee change please Mr Stubbs. I would bring on Boyle for Jason or Henderson and use his pace!!

[SlickShoes]

Cummings looks like he can't be bothered

[neil7908]

We're loosing control here big time. Can't find a green shirt

[Lago]

Time for subbs, Raith bossing game?

[Coults1875]

Sick of the biased commentary on the radio

[Pretty Boy]

We're all over the shop here and the balls like a hot tattie.

Need someone to step up and put a foot on the ball.

[GreenLake]

Keystone Cops now......

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

We are needing a change. Need an out up top to stretch things. Boyle for JC.

[Aldo]

Totally. Need Boyle on to threaten them on the break.

Just posted that.

We need to do something to alleviate the pressure on the back line.

[Pretty Boy]

Keatings stripped.

[heretoday]

Keatings on now!

[Liam89]

Need to start controlling this game ffs. If they score now I can't see us winning this.

[Moulin Yarns]

Keatings on for Cummings

And Fontaine on for Henderson

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Cummings off Keatings on.

[Pretty Boy]

Keatings on Cummings off

Fontaine also on for Henderson.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Hendo off Fots on.

[GreenLake]

We look tired.

[Greencore]

Hibs are tired.

[Joe6-2]

Once again!!! We are so laboured against a team of this calibre!

[Liam89]

Preparing for the onslaught for the next 14 minutes then.

[Aldo]

Keatings on Cummings off Fontaine also on for Henderson.

Shutting up shop with 3 CH's on!

Cmon Hibs keep them out

[heretoday]

This is the Falkirk 2-2 game again.

[Lago]

Sick of the biased commentary on the radio
Can't agree, people at the game confirming what radio commentary saying.

[GreenLake]

I don't like the defensive sub. This is asking for trouble. :greengrin

[Moulin Yarns]

Gray hit the woodwork

[GreenLake]

Ref is really awful this half

[Pretty Boy]

Gray thumps a header off the post, keeper may have got a touch

[Off the bar]

Ref has been awful

[GreenLake]

Benedickpus hacks down Keatings

[Liam89]

This is the Falkirk 2-2 game again.

God, don't say that. :paranoid:

[GreenLake]

Gray header off the post!!!!

[Aldo]

Hopefully not used up all our luck in first half!!

[Moulin Yarns]

5 minutes of regular time to go, guess about 4 minutes added time.

[Aldo]

5 minutes of regular time to go, guess about 4 minutes added time.

Hope your guess is wrong regarding injury time

[Pretty Boy]

Logan comes into a ruck of bodies ans just gets a good punch on it.

Was worried for a few seconds.

[Joe6-2]

Hopefully not used up all our luck in first half!!

It's time we had some!!

[Aldo]

It's time we had some!!
Indeed

[Aldo]

We must concentrate for the remainder!

That's all I ask!

5 or so minutes please Hibs!!

Why do are listen to sport sound "raith were excellent" really the got beat 2 nil, they make it so obvious they hate Hibs

[Onion]

Great win and professional job by Hibs :thumbs:

What a difference a bit of luck and Dylan made.

Ref gave RR every chance to sneak a result but even he could make up for a poor poor team.

[Kato]

5 big games to go.

Not his best game but couldn't fault his work rate. Have him ahead of Cummings based on current form

[blackpoolhibs]

FFS does this mean i have to be happy until Tuesday now?

[neil7908]

One team of defensive loudmouths down, next please.

Yeah they really were poor, don't think Logan had a save to make all game

[TRC]

Dylan the differance today i think always looking for the ball or a pass his vision and knowing how much time and space kr has is brilliant. Thought we lost our shape when he went off.

[Aldo]

We don't need praise from some of the biggest gob*****s in world media. We just needed to win the game - and we did :)

Exactly. A win is a win and TBH they cannot argue with that.

By all accounts Logan didn't have much to do with their keeper having more to do.

They will never ever change.

[neil7908]

Dylan the differance today i think always looking for the ball or a pass his vision and knowing how much time and space kr has is brilliant. Thought we lost our shape when he went off.

100%.Totally lost our shape without him. We struggle as no one to put there foot on the ball in midfield and our strikers don't really hold the ball up. Hoping he was just withdrawn as a precaution

[California-Hibs]

1 defeat at home all season. That's all I'm saying.

[Green&White]

Based on current form he's 10 times better than Cummings.

We made hard work out of that. But credit to the team for coming out on top in the end.

What I will say though is we won't get away with giving the ball away so cheaply against Falkirk. We need to address that issue and we need to address it now.

Aye stokes was great, chased everything and wanted the ball. Jason was like playing with a man down, body language was abysmal

I think we should address it once the players are showered and changed and had a nice bit of dinner...:-)

[pacoluna]

Well done Hibs, efficient and job well done. McG and Hanlon were superb and with Logan behind and mcgeouch in front it was a solid display. Fans seemed to jump on cummings back today which was a bit harsh, wasn't his best performance but still put a shift in similar to stokes,

:agree: Stubbs has brought in a whole squad of new players, but you could have been watching any Hibs team from the last 8 years trying to hod out in the last 10 mins. Midfield kept giving the ball away or getting caught in possession in dangerous areas. What are they (and we) gonna be like holding a 1-0 lead with 10 to go at Hampden :greengrin

[lucky]

First 25 minutes we blew them away. Got the goals then closed up shop. Second half we sat deeper and deeper but I can't think of any chances for Raith

[Iggy Pope]

I can only think of one. They were round Logan in the first half and but for McGregor they would have had a tap-in. And probably should have.

[J-C]

Played well, got the goals early which settled them down, Raith had a decent 15 mins in the 2nd half but only due to our midfield tiring, still like to see subs on earlier when it was obvious we were losing the midfield.

[BroxburnHibee]

Sadly there's a section of our support who refuse to see what he brings to the team. Their minds are already made up.

[rcarter1]

Excellent. Now Houston you have a problem.

:aok:

Today's atmosphere was fairly tame. Im looking forward to a much tastier affair this Tuesday. Hopefully we will get a few more bodies than today as well.

You'll have a hard job playing golf with everything crossed ....

I'm too auld as well. I'm going for a long walk WITHOUT the mobile, and I'll get the bad news all in one when I get back.

No confidence in this lot at all.

Man up ffs

[Yorkshire HFC]

Couldn't follow the game but delighted with the result - onwards and upwards

[staunchhibby]

Time cummings learnt he is no prima donna.Was poor today and should have been subbed sooner than he was.Should stop moaning every time hs goes down.Some nice touches from Stokes today at least he went looking for the ball at times.

[drumatic44]

Anyone notice Laurie Ellis ( Raith Coach and Jambo), chatting up the ref' during the warm ups, never seen that at a match before.
How did that work out for you Laurie. !!

[Gatecrasher]

Started off well then Raith came back into it, it was a but nervy in the second half but dealt with any threat from Raith fairly comfortably.

We must get off to a good start on Tuesday.

For all Stubbs was calling for a hot atmosphere today, history shows time and again Hibs play better in front of smaller crowds and tend to freeze / panic when our part-time fans turn out in numbers. Malmo, Hamilton, SC Finals, LC Final. One of the few times they haven't was in the Hearts replay in the SC this season. So, IMO, the lower the expectation, the smaller the crowds, the better chance we have to getting a result.

Great result. Got the early goals needed. Nail biting towards the end but no doubt a deserved win.

Falkirk will be no pushover but quietly confident. :aok:

We didn't freeze or panic in the LC final.

[Ronniekirk]

We need another goal IMHO.

At that point in the game i thought that myself Aldo but Logan only conceded one goal in five games ? Now Makes a big difference knowing we can keep opposition out
Didn't think Cummings and stokes gelled that well today and neither has scored in last two games which must give Stubbs something to mull over for Falkirk games
But we blew them away early doors then soaked up pressure and held on which was pleasing

[Ronniekirk]

100%.Totally lost our shape without him. We struggle as no one to put there foot on the ball in midfield and our strikers don't really hold the ball up. Hoping he was just withdrawn as a precaution

He couldn't of been expected to last the 90 minutes as he isn't long back from a lengthy rehabilitation programme But was still outstanding at times today and put in his fare share of meaty tackles and was on receiving end of some
He will be all the stronger for that shift today but still may not be able to go 90 minutes v Falkirk and wonder if he will be risked on Falkirk's plastic pitch

[Super_JMcGinn]

Time cummings learnt he is no prima donna.Was poor today and should have been subbed sooner than he was.Should stop moaning every time hs goes down.Some nice touches from Stokes today at least he went looking for the ball at times.
By far his worst game in a Hibs jersey, it can happen to the best players in the world, but he really has to knuckle down and get back to the basics. His outrageous lunge at the RR defender in the second half was embarrassing, and deserved a booking imo.

Man up Jason please and think of the bigger picture, Hibernian are way bigger than your ego whatever you may think.

[Super_JMcGinn]

Wish fans would get off Jason's back a bit, almost like some want him to play poor so they can moan at him.

Mcgeouch and Fyvie controlling the midfield.

Defending is iffy which is not the best when we are only 1 up.

Get a goal early in the first half then get bartley, Boyle and dagnall on
Jason as terrible today, McGeouch was good but Fyvie was way off the pace today, it's all bout opinions though huh

[Mango Man]

Having watched the game again, in the first half Fyvie was probably our best player, don't think he wasted a pass, 2nd half he wasn't as effective and gave away 2 or 3 silly passes, still a nuisance for Raith to deal with.

[eastcoasthibby]

Aye stokes was great, chased everything and wanted the ball. Jason was like playing with a man down, body language was abysmal

I think Jason has a massive ego ..that's got into his head even more since around the start of the New Year since Stokes arrived ..trying to be topman and his game has suffered ..selfish before and getting worse, too often not playing with those about him, needs to get his head on the job and focus on working hard for the team not just to try and created the chance for shot !!!

He was poor again yesterday, 1st touch was bad, easily out muscled, runs with his head down and into trouble and very very selfish, he looks like he's just going through the motions at the moment, hardly a smile on his face, maybe his mind is elsewhere, Keatings did more in his 15 mins tan Jason did in his 75.

And me, more energy and has a better partnership with Stokes, yesterday Jason and Stokes were about 20-25 yards apart, Keatings came on and the 1st thing I noticed was his proximity to Stokes, around 10 yards.

We must have been watching a different game, FF was off the boil yesterday.

Jason looks like he has forgotten to be a footballer recently... that moment when he literally ran from one wing to the other with his head down and no eye for a pass or shot was just typical of his play in recent weeks.

I remember the time you meant but I saw it a bit differently. He didn't ever have a pass on imo and he did really well to hold onto the ball before finding a teammate when he finally had an option available. Unfortunately the fans saw fit to give him dogs abuse for what was a reasonable bit of play.

Jason didn't play well yesterday but much of the time he had balls played in to him at pace when he was under pressure without anyone supporting him, helping him or looking to take the ball off him. I felt he was hung out to dry a bit at times and the reaction of the crowd didn't help him.

Sean, watch the highlights again and you'll see that Jason looked up several times during that run before laying the ball to Henderson with Liam bringing a good save out of their keeper.

Personally I thought Jason had a few wee good spells in the game, holding the ball up, making good runs into space etc. My mate is no fan of Jason but even he admitted the laddie did ok on those occasions

I think Jason is good player but without a goal he would be aswell watching the game with me. Stokes and Jas has not and does not work. For me Stokes is a better and i would play him before Jason. I thought Keatings held the ball more in his cameo appearance than Jason did in 75mins. We need 11triers on the park when Jason pulled out of a tackle late that was it for me.

Yeah fair points, it wasn't how i seen it at the time but i get what you are saying re that run. I just think he needs some time out of the team, has looked out of sorts for weeks. It is like playing a man down at times.

I thought Keatings held the ball more in his cameo appearance than Jason did in 75mins. We need 11triers on the park when Jason pulled out of a tackle late that was it for me.

Fair comment

Yeah fair points, it wasn't how i seen it at the time but i get what you are saying re that run. I just think he needs some time out of the team, has looked out of sorts for weeks. It is like playing a man down at times.

I agree with that.

Keatings is looking sharper and links better with Stokes.

Preferring James Keatings to Jason Cummings is akin to preferring James Collins or Chris Dagnall to Dominique Malonga.

Ooohhh, but he runs around a lot! :rolleyes:

Eh? He's scored a few this season - including 2 hat tricks. He looks sharp and isn't afraid to have a shot - too many of our team are.

We seem to be missing those posters who were shouting and bawling about sacking AS after the first leg. Funny thing that.....

Found it hilarious.....a 1-0 defeat and it was apparently over! ONE - nill. Madness.

We all need to pull in the right direction and irrespective of Tuesday result we need to rally and also be positive and prepared for the 2nd leg!

They'll be back Tuesday night if we don't hump Falkirk or next Friday if we fail to progress. But for the moment the arguments are hollow.
