Old Firm East v Hibs

[Ronniekirk]

FFS Ronnie.

The previous poster got my hopes up then you come along and piss on my corn flakes.

Am I going to have to wait and see if we’re going to win it after all?!

Was only asking Don't know what the game is like only popping on here every so often for a catch up

Good wee 5 mins or so decent possession.

[bingo70]

Very confused MacLaren can’t get a sniff. Picks Hibs to get regular games (in his own words) Hibs try hard to get him and take him from under the noses of Hearts.

It’s weird!

I can only think he’ll be starting against Motherwell and as he’s been recovering from injury he maybe wants to keep him fresh for that game.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Celtic TV commentary is so amateurish


eh :confused: it's one of the most unbiased commentaries i've heard from a non-hibs commentary

[Lago]

Your Right, it was the Saints ( I have Auldtimers Disease!!).

I was at the game, I along with all the hibs support gave him a welcome and he ran up the park and scored.:greengrin

I hope you are right, if not then I’ve no idea why we went for him if he’s not getting a chance.

Could say the same about big Dave. We are persisting with a youngster who isn’t ready to be first choice and Simon Murray who isn’t consistent enough. Surely Maclaren is worth his chance.

[neil7908]

Presumably the Swiss guy will be officially signed up by then so wonder if he'll feature.

He’s telling folk he’s already signed so I’m hoping if he is he can score goals.

Good oh, its a puzzle right enough. Be understandable if we were scoring, but with Stokes out the loop why use a young promising player, Shaw, against using a proven international.

Clueless when we get anywhere near the Celtic box.

That’s what I don’t get, Lennon clearly knows better than me but I can’t understand the fuss to sign him and he doesn’t get game time. Could do one of two things, burn Shaw out and he’ll lose confidence or could make Shaw more determined. Either way the boy needs help up there he looked lost.

[essexhibee]

Here Jamie comes.

[Pretty Boy]

Same as previous weeks from what I have seen. Lots of possession, lots of pretty passing but no threat at all in the final 3rd. That's understandable at Celtic Park but it's been a recurring theme for a while now.

1-0 just about sums the game up.

[J-C]

Why bring in a proven scorer to let him sit on the bench till 7 mins to go and why not play Swanson instead of Barker, he's an attacking midfielder proven at this level. I still feel Lennon is too conservative in his management, needs to be more expansive in his play.

[Thecat23]

Controversial equaliser at Tynie, maybe whole ball didn't cross line. Karma:agree:

Our passing is just too slow. We make it far too easy to defend...

We pass the ball about 10 times before we are even over the halfway line. That trend continues all the way to the opponent's box. Need to speed it up.

I'm soooo fed up of us being so toothless. Has to get sorted.

[madhatter]

How long before NL spots this?

No idea.

I love McGinn and McGeouch but both are at fault for this. They both drop deep then look forward for passes. If they both drop deep at the same time what are they expecting to see infront of them?

Invariably there isn't anyone centrally, least not in midfield, and they end up going wide. Then Stevenson and Efe don't take their men on and don't have a pass because McGinn and McGeouch are 10 yards behind and catching up. Unsurprisingly they usually pass it back to McGinn or McGeouch who get closed down and pass to Hanlon or McGregor and the whole thing starts again...

We are so close to being a very good team but vital ingredients are missing - creativity and a bit of guile.

[ekhibee]

Totally agree, we spend too much time passing across the way or back instead of breaking quickly. Looks like poor defending for the Celtic goal has really cost us too.

If only we had an international striker on the bench that could have come on, that may have helped.

Are you for real? That second half was hardly lacklustre. We dominated the ball. How tf is that lacklustre?

Too many on here glad to put the boot in. Have a good evening telling everyone who'll listen that Hibs were crap. That's if you've got anyone to listen to you of course.

Maybe we should go one step further and sack NL. Easily replaced with the number of football geniuses on here.

TBH, we've been pi$$ing around in midfield for years. We lack thrust and above all tempo.
The pen. box is a no go area apparently so why bother with goalposts?

We badly need a creative midfielder and a right back. Nobody played badly today, we just don’t have those skills in the squad just now.

Lacklustre - lacking in vitality, force or conviction. Uninspiring.

I think that sums up our 2nd half performance. We had a lot of possession but did nowt with it. We weren't crap (which I don't recall saying btw) we just never looked like scoring or creating a real clear cut chance.

The stuff about sacking NL is just nonsensical rambling. I haven't read one single person call for that.

The Yams must be gutted, they could have reduced the gap to 2 points and its still 4 .... the tables are turned midweek with them at Old Firm East and us at home to Motherwell ..... if they lose and we can get a win the gaps back to 7 points, which makes this an absolutely vital game :aok:

If the radio is to be believed McLaren had a great chance at the end and lost out because he jibbed it .... please don't tell me we have signed a player afraid to put his body on the line.

're maclaren it was a really good header from the centre half

[neil7908]

Absolutely no shame in losing by a single goal at Parkhead but our lack of goals is really destroying any chance we have of closing in on the top 3.

It's bizarre that we insist in sticking one up top when none of our forwards seem remotely comfortable in this role.

I think the reason that there is a bit of negativity is not just the derby loss but how close we are to being a very, very good team.

I'll be sad to see John go but if we can get a good fee for him and bring in a couple of quality attacking players then it maybe the right move.

[NAE NOOKIE]

're maclaren it was a really good header from the centre half

Just going by what I heard on the radio mate ... both Rob McLean and Bonner saying if he had been braver it was a great chance.

[The Pointer]

Lennon saying post match that we'll need to move someone out before we can bring in, and with Wednesday's deadline looming it looks increasingly unlikely. Then again, in this window you're not going to get the players you really want so I'd have to say I'm happy with who we've currently got.

There's talent there, I just think we need to change the way we play and speed our attacks up - and then luck will come our way.

[Ronniekirk]

So in summary we were never going to score but poor defending cost us the Draw Which would of been a decent result
We had scored six goals against them in our previous three meetings with them
So to not look like scoring against them today would be the disappointing aspect for me

They’ll be trying their hardest to get rid of Stokes. Won’t be easy though. We definitely need a player or two more to make sure we can keep hold of 4th place in my opinion.

I was laughing at Bonner on the radio saying "we are used to seeing McGeouch much further forward" ... shows how many Hibs games he sees lol.

Going by this thread, we done well up until the final third? Not bad going at the home of the champions but seems to be the same story regardless of who we play.

Of all the teams in this league we seem to be the only one capable of facing up to the Weegie giants .... the much heralded Aberdeen **** it every time they play either one. Out problem is that none of the teams we play at home seem to think they can go toe to toe with us and consequently play like teams did in the championship at ER for the last 3 seasons. That negates our pace up front because there's no space to run into for Boyle and Barker and we cant mix it up because we don't have a big guy we can aim for in and around the box, or at least not one the manager wants to play.

Its no coincidence our away results have been better than our home ones.

[Lago]

Just finished listening to Pat Bonner on BBC scotland sport. First the good news, according to Pat, Hibs played well dominant in second half, although Celtic could have had more goals in the first half, but for our goalie. He then went on to point out that the big failure was that we had no one who could threaten in the penalty box. He felt that hibs need an experienced striker to help the youngsters, and if Stokes is definatley out they have to get someone in to do the job.
Billy Dodds, I know, had this observation, hibs had 2 wide men with pace to burn who seemed to loose confidence as they approached the penalty box, they stopped turned back & played a pass rather than driving on and trying for a shot.
So good and bad I supposed.

[Newry Hibs]

wow dundee united hammered 0-3 at home to Morton, i'm thinking they will be in the championship for a 3rd season

[Tornadoes70]

Never good to come away from any game without taking points however after a very good team performance away to Dundee and three points there was always the chance we could have shipped a number of goals at Parkhead against easily the best team in the country (When they're not playing on a small mud-heap at the piggery anyway). By all accounts we put up a decent show of ourselves and it has to be looked at in context of the circumstances. The bonus being the yams bottled the chance to move even closer to us with a karma last minute 'goal' from Motherwell. Plenty of positives to take out of this week with three points out of six from two tough away games.

Mon the Cabbage!!!

[NAE NOOKIE]

I thought today was *****

Aye because we are so used to seeing Hibs teams go to Parkhead and sweep Celtic aside. Twice this season we have gone there and dominated large chunks of the game .... IIRC far better Hibs teams than this one have played far worse Celtic teams than they have just now and been regularly and comprehensively pumped there.

If a performance at parkhead where we were in the game for the full 90 minutes and dominated possession in the 2nd half can be described at whatever your swear word was I'm dying to find out what Hibs team you have been following since you first started going to games that you can launch into our performance today like that.

Yes its disappointing that we didn't get a result, but what does that say about teams from the past who didn't have anything like the bravery of this team to take the game to Celtic away from home ... better that than the traditional 10 men behind the ball 90 minute battering until we cave in efforts we have been used to from Hibs teams in Glasgow, Mowbray's team aside.

As a team, Hibs have no cutting edge. Or not enough of a cutting edge.

Thing is... we have loads of players in our squad who are decent players and should be able to score. It’s just ridiculous how many first class chances we’ve missed. It’s almost like our goal scorers are all going through a dip in form at the same time.

Football is a strange game and form can quickly change. So here’s hoping come Wednesday night we’ll still be in touching distance of Aberdeen with a healthy 7 point advantage over the Jams!

Albeit he never got long enough but I liked what I saw of MacLaren, the runs he was making were freeing up space all over the place. Hopefully he gets up to match speed quickly

Lost 1-0 away from home to the soon-to-be 7IAR champions, in a game we arguably deserved a draw from.

Onwards and upwards, p.s. GIRFUY Levein! :flag:

At the start of this week I'm quite certain the vast majority of us would have gladly taken three points out of six from two tough away matches and the yams had a bit of karma delivered to them. Lots to be positive about.

Mon the Cabbage!!!

One of the better performances of the season, albeit with little threat up front.

We've seen it so many times this season, controlled games, but absolutely toothless up front. Today we had good delivery from several corners and not a single hibs player touched the ball as it passed through the box, absolutely criminal.
