Shouldn't have stood.

[Scouse Hibee]

I'm not sure he did kick it twice.
Actually I am sure now, one touch correct decision.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

So much for the self proclaimed "greatest cup completion in the world" when Premier teams totally disrespecting smaller teams by putting out poor fringe players.

[hibee_girl]

I'm not sure he did kick it twice.

I don’t think he did either

Forest down to ten men

[johnbc70]

Reply showed one kick?

[greenlex]

Reply showed one kick?

Kicks it with his left foot off his right foot. Imposssibke totell with the naked eye but from his run up body position and subsequent flight of the ball Im saying-he definitely kicked it off his right foot.

I don't know why folk bring this up every year, it's tiresome. Manager thinks the players he has in reserve are still good enough to beat lower league opposition so plays them. I hate it but it's hardly a new phenomenon and is as much a part of the cup now as the cup final.

Agree but as holders you think Arsenal would at least attempt to put up a decent defence of the trophy.

But Arsenal do it every year in early rounds and have won it plenty of times.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Perhaps I brought it up because it's relevant? how much money is pumped in to this completion? yep, millions and you'd think that all the big clubs would want to be there at Wembley for the final but it seems the bigger clubs are really not taking it seriously enough by putting out really crap teams like West Ham today, at least Shrewsbury got a replay out of it, let's see if Moyes repeats his folly in the replay.

It's not relevant any more, get used to it. Been happening for years.

[johnbc70]

Emirates as sponsor must be looking closely at this and must surely question how much they are paying. That team Arsenal put out was an insult to the fans.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

It's not relevant any more, get used to it. Been happening for years.

Ah but will you be saying that if your team gets pumped out in the next round and that will be another trophy less season?

FWIW I only watch the early rounds and tip my hat to some of the non and lower league teams how they operate.

[Haymaker]

I don’t think he did either

Forest down to ten men

That made it fair to Arsenal as Walcott was nowhere to be seen for 80 minutes

[Haymaker]

Arsenals 2nd team should have enough to beat a team 14th in the league below. Plenty of top internationals and experience in that side who, given a chance to stake a 1st team claim, didn't do much.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Kicks it with his left foot off his right foot. Imposssibke totell with the naked eye but from his run up body position and subsequent flight of the ball Im saying-he definitely kicked it off his right foot.

I agree.

That would be my view of it too. Decent game that far more enjoyable than the 30 minutes I caught of the Shrewsbury/West Ham match. Im still on a high from the Seville derby last night though :wink:

[Sir David Gray]

Did JC get on at all?

Nope.

[MWHIBBIES]

Agree but as holders you think Arsenal would at least attempt to put up a decent defence of the trophy.They have won 3 of the last 4, laughable to suggest they don't respect the cup. The team put out was full of experience. The same team strolled their Europa league group.

[Haymaker]

The team put out was full of experience. The same team strolled their Europa league group.

Correct.

[Lancs Harp]

OK the Premier league teams and anyone else for that matter playing lower league opposition, put out teams with fringe or youth players in it. The game has changed, the cup competitions in England are the best way of blooding younger players in or giving fringe players much needed game time. The manager/coach has to try and balance such considerations with putting a team out he feels will be good enough to win the game, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Its where we are at. In England (and I suspect Scotland) the gulf between "development" teams, Youth teams etc and the first team is enormous, from the "big" clubs pov it makes sense.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

The excitement of the fans of the so-called smaller teams must be diminished when they realise they are unlikely to see the likes of Sanchez, Ozil etc. They won't be too fussy now right enough.

[SJNB Hibby]

I'm stuck in a hotel in Boston so will be following whatever is on the TV here(might be 1 game) and BBC updates
Palace home to Burnley is huge for the Eagles, too close to the bottom 3 to be dropping points at home to Burnley who are starting to struggle

Curious to see if Jase is in the Forest squad. And if Dundee Utd dont beat Dunfermline theyre going to lose touch with St Mirren, and be watching out for Dunfy and Livvy who will likely beat Brechin

Then the NFL play-offs

[BegbieHSC]

Tinpot league!

Aye? Whats our league then?

[truehibernian]

Hearts ‘clean sheets’ starting to get a little dirty. They’re 3-0 down after 30 minutes in their friendly. Linesmen can’t be Scottish !

[Heisenberg]

Aye? Whats our league then?

No worse than the English Championship.

[Iggy Pope]

It really is a very uninspiring card in the EPL today.

[weecounty hibby]

No worse than the English Championship.

Absolutely, and when you consider the differential in income I would suggest we do ok in Scotland. Too many people far too quick to talk our game down far too often.

[Iggy Pope]

Danny Handling starts today for Dumbarton. Good to see him back playing after his recent injury
Other loan players, Scott Martin starts for Arbroath, and Innes Murray for Stenhousemiur

[greenlex]

Thought they played yesterday? They did and theyre playing today again. Its likely to be a makeshift side so I wouldnt get too excited they are 3 down.

Edit - the side actually has a good few regulars. Still justa freindly though.

HT

[truehibernian]

Thought they played yesterday?

They're playing again today, currently 4-0 down at half time and defensively all over the shop. New full back is playing, looks decent on the ball but literally all over the place when they're defending. All the goals have come from Nurnberg playing down the flanks and with width. Obviously it's a friendly but I'd say that they are playing 3 of the back 4 that'll play against us in the cup game.

[Iggy Pope]

They did and theyre playing today again. Its likely to be a makeshift side so I wouldnt get too excited they are 3 down.

And how did they finish up yesterday do you know? I only read about yellow cards!

[heretoday]

Cracking match at Chelsea. Leicester looking very dangerous.

[greenlex]

And how did they finish up yesterday do you know? I only read about yellow cards! No idea. It was 1-1 last I looked.

That is good news for Danny. I thought he was out long term again.

[Hermit Crab]

Half-time changes:

Petkov, Souttar, Sandison, Isma, Irving, Zanatta, Henderson, Lafferty on.

C. Hamilton, Berra, Brandon, Milinkovic, Martin, Paton, Keena and Stockton off.

[Hermit Crab]

Its a friendly they are playing, all about fitness etc, cant take much from this, they are making lots of changes trying players out. They will be up for it on the 21st no doubt about it!

[SJNB Hibby]

Palace 1-0 up and if they hold on, a chance to go 10th

[truehibernian]

Doesn't mean Hibs can't explore ways to exploit weaknesses HC :aok: friendly or not, no team likes being beaten and these games are there to try out formations for upcoming games too :wink: guaranteed Hearts will have watched our friendlies.

Really looking forward to the Liverpool - Man City game this afternoon (4pm on Sky).

I think there will be few goals in this game. Think Man City will win it, but I also think Liverpool are the most capable of the top teams to beat City. However, they might find the loss of Coutinho to much.

[Hermit Crab]
