Hibs v Falkirk Playoff Semi Final 1st leg 2-2

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

We welcome the Bairns to ER tonight for a 19:45 kick off.

Cracking weather so here's hoping for a cracking game.

Games this season have Hibs edging it with played 4, won 1 and 3 score draws. Predictions indicate goals but a close game.

Post any team news, snacks, drinks, radio/tv links.

Same as saturday. Hopefully we get a similar start :flag:

[IanM]

My pal no long seen Bartley, Carmichael and Handlin on Elm Row so must Marv must be injured

[IanM]

#HibsSubs: Oxley, Fontaine, Boyle, Keatings, Gunnarsson, Dagnall, Thomson

[AL-Qaholik]

Cummings needs to play a blinder tonight. Been a passenger for months.

[Allant1981]

Wouldnt have started cummings tonight, hopefully he proves all the doubters wrong and scores a couple

[1875Hibees]

Cummings still untouchable. Must be great knowing he is guaranteed a start no matter his performances.

[BroxburnHibee]

Looks like the fabled diamond....

[R'Albin]

Looks like the fabled diamond....

A bigger worry for me than any of the individuals starting. A lot of talent in that team but no wingers limits us big time.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

For those having a go at Cummings, his record against this mob is very good. Would imagine that's on Stubbs mind as opposed to his crap performance on Saturday(and other recent games)

[hibee92]

Jason Cummings has scored 25 goals this season. Of course he plays.

[easty]

Games still 40 mins away, but Cummings getting it tight already on here. If only he could score goals for us....oh aye he does, plenty of them.

[Sudds_1]

cant find the radio link..............anyone help?

Steady on there. They will, to a man, come back on and apologize if Jason scores.

Well maybe they won't ......

No Malonga again.

[Smartie]

Not the team I'd have picked.

Although pretty much every time I say that we win.........

[danhibees1875]

Team I thought we'd go for. Bartley nowhere to be seen?

Would like to see Boyle given some time and depending on how Mcginn is looking I'd not give him the 90.

[SJM]

Please HIBERNIAN come on.

[Keith_M]

No fancy tricks tonight, Jason. Just put the ball in the net, there's a good lad :wink:

[1875Hibees]

Steady on there. They will, to a man, come back on and apologize if Jason scores.

Well maybe they won't ......
Why would anyone apologise for having an opinion on someone starting? No one is saying they dont like him, just that he shouldent be starting on recent form.

[SJM]

Didn't he score more recent than Keattings against Queens?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. As I am entitled to mock those who I see as conducting witch hunts against any of our players.

Elm Row with Handling.

Hopefully has the same effect on Cummings as the many moaning about Logan on his debut :na na: (outstanding performance not that he saves loads)

Mcginn shoots over.

[GreenLake]

Gray has to stay on the touchline for the switch ball.

[GlasgowHibee]

Very cagey game so far, neither side wants to concede.

Bit disappointed that we haven't gone at Falkirk like we did against Raith, we've showed a certain amount of respect to them with our tactics.

[GreenLake]

Another "penalty" for Houston to wet his panties over.

[hibsbollah]

McGinn looks anything but tired. Great start.

[Diclonius]

After a combination of mishaps involving my plane being cancelled, the replacement plane being delayed and me forgetting my season ticket, I've now abandoned all hope of seeing any of the game and am heading home on the train to.. Falkirk. Might see the second half at home, BT Sport stream ain't working now.

It certainly look a worth a shout.

Outside but probably a goal scoring opportunity

Free kick chance as Fyvie slashed down. No Yellow card

Lee Millar is a total prick

Progressive rock band from early 70 s Close to the Edge Just like tonights game by sound of it

Watch the replay. Gray plays him on.

Been crap so far, no atmosphere and poor footie.

Bored.

[GreenLake]

Deflected first time shot for Taiwo from a rebound off the wall and Falkirk take the lead

[heretoday]

Typical. First chance they get.

[CMac1988]

Sat in all game and took their only real chance so far...

[Green&White]

It's beyond embarrassing how many times this has happened this season. Teams only need 1 chance against us we need about 40 and still can't score. What are we doing in training??

[Ryan91]

Watch the bus get parked now

Absolutely typical that they score with their first chance. Hibs going to need to really knuckle down because they're going to put every man behind the ball

[AL-Qaholik]

How many f***ing times can we dominate the opening stages of a match only to concede with the opposition's first f***ing chance?!?!? Unbelievable.

[Onion]

Hibs are pish.

[Gatecrasher]

Another game with that inevitable feel about it, was it offside?

[Billy Whizz]

Mcgregors got to stay on his feet

[Hibee87]

Looked a blatant handball in middle of park on lead up to the free-kick

[Craig_in_Prague]

No. Onside

[essexhibee]

Why is stokes so wide?!

Change it Stubbs!! Can't afford to lose this.

[Time For Heroes]

Another game with that inevitable feel about it, was it offside?

Gray plays him onside, not even close to offside

[Craig_in_Prague]

I'm afraid we're a championship side. Pish.

[Ryan91]

Slow and plodding from Hibs at the moment, just don't look interested

[Time For Heroes]

Why is stokes so wide?!

Change it Stubbs!! Can't afford to lose this.

Change what? Apart from an unfortunate goal we have been close to scoring a few times

[Gatecrasher]

Cheers, the hibs players were going mental at something.

[SlickShoes]

One shot one goal, we are playing in treacle. Dismal performance all over the park.

[Lago]

Plenty possession, plenty passing, but no penetration.

[Pretty Boy]

This is ****ing rubbish.

2 centre forwards playing 30 yards from goal trying to cross the ball to themselves.

[Tiestp]

Lucky *****
plenty of time for a comeback, come on lads

[SlickShoes]

Same old story eh, unlucky hibs, dominated possession.

Far too slow in everything we' try to do, no aggression and very little belief against a team full of no marks! Why give them any respect when they are such a poor side?

Ref is standard anti- hibs, Scottish Football is a ****in joke!

Not much else they can do - they are getting nothing from the midfield

Hibs have lost all the dynamism in the midfield we had earlier in the season. We lack the verve and imagination to break down their solid midfield. On this showing so far, Falkirk have the tie in the bag. Desperately need to change things at HT.

[Fergus52]

At least he knows how to control the game, this ref hasn't a clue

Really!? His arrogance towards the players does the complete opposite of that IMO. it riles them up more which he loves as it gives him the chance to be the centre of attention

It's half ******g time in the first leg!

[Zazu62]

We don't look like scoring

[The Green Goblin]

We need to really sort ourselves out for the 2nd half. Lots of running around but little goal threat.

[RoadtoER]

Absolute pish. Lethargic and lacking energy all throughout the pitch. Wonder how much that idiot Houston payed the referee:fuming:

[GreenLake]

Hibs players are not showing enough ability to trap the ball and pass accurately. Ricochets and pin ball.

Horrible to lose a duff goal like that from a crap free kick into the wall and a rebound to one of the worst players to ever pull on our green shirt and he hits it first time into bodies and gets a deflected goal. Luck is a bitch.

[essexhibee]

It's just very predictable boring Hibs ATM. Formation doesn't work. Stokes is too deep. We don't look like scoring at all.

Extremely frustrating how we are losing with a team who in reality is much better. Very sickening. Huge 45 needed.

[greenlex]

Lee Miller is offside at every and I mean every goal kick. East stand link is a total joke.

Passing and movement off the ball has been piss poor as has the standard of crossing/final ball against a vastly inferior team yet we still indulge and let them have any influence on the game!

No way should we ever be losing to this shower of *****, vast improvement in attitude and determination needed in 2nd half, ****in woeful!

[SlickShoes]

There's a reasonable support here but we have nothing to shout about unless someone knows any songs about pointless possession

[IanM]

Typical of our season. Possession, many missed attempt and lose a goal against their first shot.. We've turned this round before but it's gonna need something monumental in this second half and

Cummings is massively over rated

[Hibby Bairn]

As a start can we have Stokes and Cummings playing closer together and in the box. Stokes spends the game 30m from goal. Get in the box man.

[Jones28]

Score line flattering Falkirk but we need more from somewhere. Gray is pulling wide at every opportunity but everything seems to have to come down the left.

[Allant1981]

Far too slow, cummings has hardly touched it, gray hasnt been great. Fyvie and mcgeouch not really been in it either, all in all not good

[Liam89]

Stokes is having to drop so deep because Cummings is doing **** all and standing still. Our build up play is so painfully slow and unimaginative no wonder we struggle to score goals.

[ShinyFantastic]

Woeful. Stubbs never has and never will learn how to break down this rubbish we're playing against.

[danhibees1875]

Unlucky there. We fell apart and started having a few wayward passes. Clear as day hand ball in the build up that the ref was bang in line with but that's done now. 135 minutes left, I'm not writing us off yet. 30 mins at least for Boyle please Stubbs.

[GreenLake]

These are a bunch of rotten turds. You can see the ratty attitudes lurking underneath and the bench has the look of scavengers itching to take a scalp. Good luck to the TV quality in the SPFL if this bunch of linebackers beat us over two legs.

I still fancy we could hump them by a few goals if we can click into gear. Either in the 2nd half or in their tip.

[Bobo]

Fully aware of that, that's why we need to turn up tonight and blow these ****s away, if we can't beat this shower comfortably over two legs we don't deserve to be in the SPL, sub-standard pish so far!

[SneakersO'Toole]

We've all seen this play out before. It will be huff and puff in the 2nd half, subs will only be made after 80mins and out management team will stand on the touchline with no plan b.

Prove me wrong here Stubbs. Losing tonight is unacceptable.

[Onion]

For such an important match for the players, fans, manager and club, that was utter garbage. Insipid Championship crap from Hibs. No pace, no believe, no ideas. Falkirk are STOLLING this. So ****ing Easy.

We've been 'going to' hump them by a few goals all season.

I'm not banking on it happening in the next 135 minutes. I'd love to see it happen but a major change in plan is needed, not just based on tonight but much of the last 2 seasons.

[Scorrie]

Could do with Boyle on. Need some pace and width

[dmc1875]

There's only one team in this, and that team
is losing. No penetration and Falkirk know that and are happy to just sit in and feed off the scraps. Their goal was a massive slice of luck though and has turned the ground flat

[SeanWilson]

A few over reactions? Bossed it with no cutting edge (where have I heard that before?) I'd get Boyle on for Cummings and try and run at them.

[BoltonHibee]

Putting the rotten performance to one side for a minute. What the **** is going on with our pitch? Bumpy as **** and players can't stay in their feet??

[MWHIBBIES]

Woeful. Stubbs never has and never will learn how to break down this rubbish we're playing against.
How many teams have kept clean sheets against us in the last 2 years?

[PeeJay]

Hibs TV hasn't let me see everything, but from what I've seen Falkirk look the better team going forward: we have done very little, not looking good for us at all. Need a huge improvement for the 2nd half ...

[greenlex]

How does that work when you can't be offside from a goal kick?

Instead if replying to everyone correcting me. I chose this one. That's news to me.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Kilmarnock will beat Falkirk IMO. We'll be playing them again next season but maybe with another manager who'll get Hibs doing much better.

[seanshow]

Massive exaggeration.

The scoreline completely flatters Falkirk. We haven't looked amazing but have made chances, had some nice passing moves and look by far the better team.


well said that man, cmon the cabbage!

[HibeeEmma]

We put so much energy into passing and running with no final product, when the opposition (any team) run up the park we look too drained to chase, tackle or defend against them.

Still optimistic we will get at least one goal in the second half but something needs to change.

[RoadtoER]

One more goal for them with no reply from us and it's tie over and another year playing in this pish league. We need to blow them away this half because if we go as far as extra time in the second leg it will gub us for the last 3 games. Right into them this second half.

[HibernianJK]

Lee Miller is offside at every and I mean every goal kick. East stand link is a total joke.

You cannot be offside from a goal kick

[SJM]

We haven't bossed **** all, they look comfortable as anything.

McGinn is done in. Urgency is needed and Dylan further up the pitch. This is ****ing *****.

F'ing shocking again from Hibs .... the players seem to be in training mode.

Jaysus H, buddy. Is that it for you? Ffs.

[SJM]

How many teams have kept clean sheets against us in the last 2 years?

Falkirk. In the most important match we have played them in so far.

[marinello59]

We've been the better team. They got lucky once for their goal.
45 minutes to go.

[Springbank]

Fraser Fyvie?

It's a no from me.

[SeanWilson]

We haven't bossed **** all, they look comfortable as anything.

McGinn is done in. Urgency is needed and Dylan further up the pitch. This is ****ing *****.

Absolute ****ing pish. We've bossed that first half and lost a daft goal. Chin up and cheer!

[renato]

You know, we're probably lacking some pace and width. Can't believe no one's noticed it yet. FFS Stubbs!

[Fergus52]

I'd get Keatings on for Cummings and Boyle on for Fyvvie or McGinn, go an attacking flat 442.

[Captain Trips]

We just never look dangerous going forward. Have more shots from outside box and try and get lucky like they did.

Real lack of guile in behind the strikers.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Jaysus H, buddy. Is that it for you? Ffs.

Just a realist.

[Ryan91]

Hibs TV hasn't let me see everything, but from what I've seen Falkirk look the better team going forward: we have done very little, not looking good for us at all. Need a huge improvement for the 2nd half ...

Falkirk have done nowt going forward, they got a lucky goal, we looked OK prior to the Goal, but now they've started to park the bus and the players are completely unable to break through, holding the ball and passing it around with no end product apart from long hopeful punts into and around the box

We have the ability to win this tie, but we need to be far better at moving the ball quicker

[Fergus52]

Fraser Fyvie?

It's a no from me.

He's looked the most like scoring, has taken up some good positions and hasn't gave the ball away :confused:

[Time For Heroes]

Jesus where are all of you when we win? Bunch of bed wetters, still got a game and a half with away goals not counting.
Apart from the unlucky goal Hibs have been the better side by far... Its Hibs, we were never going to make it easy were we? :greengrin

[Cookiehibs]

Shocking first half. Countless passes going across the back four, players turning to play the ball backwards. Mcgeouch trying to start moves with players standing still in front of him. We need a bit of urgency. Why are Stevenson and gray not whopping balls across the box when we get in good wide positions. Let's test this Falkirk back line

[sauzeelegod]

2 poor teams. A poor game and a poor atmosphere.
Get Boyle on and up the tempo. We're far too slow in everything we do.

[Tollhouse Hibee]

pass forward. Stop check. Re-check. Pass stop. Check. Falkirk steal the ball. Utter joke. No pace. Deserve to get beat.

[Billy Whizz]

No changes at HT

[tamig]

Instead if replying to everyone correcting me. I chose this one. That's news to me.

Throw ins too but I think they are the only situations you can't be off from.

[heretoday]

We need something a bit different. Falkirk are strong at the back.

[SJM]

Absolute ****ing pish. We've bossed that first half and lost a daft goal. Chin up and cheer!

No we haven't. Falkirk have came with a plan and we as usual have shown **** all. Daft goal all the time.

No changes. ****ing amazing.
Come on the cabbage. Prove us wrong.

[Pretty Boy]

Absolute ****ing pish. We've bossed that first half and lost a daft goal. Chin up and cheer!

Bossed it?

A lot of possesion football to nowhere, 1 real chance and 2 or 3 half chances isn't bossing it by most definitions.

Slightly the less rubbish would be a more apt description.

[Fergus52]

Jesus where are all of you when we win? Bunch of bed wetters, still got a game and a half with away goals not counting.
Apart from the unlucky goal Hibs have been the better side by far... Its Hibs, we were never going to make it easy were we? :greengrin

Pretty sure half our fans just use hibs to vent their inner frustrations from their sad unfulfilled lives.

[RoadtoER]

We've been the better team. They got lucky once for their goal.
45 minutes to go.

I like your optimism but have we ****! Creating absolutely nothing. No pace and no width and Falkirk look comfortable at the back.

[PeeJay]

Falkirk have done nowt going forward, they got a lucky goal, we looked OK prior to the Goal, but now they've started to park the bus and the players are completely unable to break through, holding the ball and passing it around with no end product apart from long hopeful punts into and around the box

Well what have we done - maybe I missed it all when HIBS TV went down, :wink:

[Beefster]

No changes at HT

There's no need for any subs until it's too late. Maybe after Falkirk score another.

[Scorrie]

Be interesting to see if Stubbs changes this...
