13 v 11, Hibs support having a blinder : )

13 v 12, Lewis is worth two men.

OMG what a miss from Kamberi. Positioning has to be better.

Come on Hibs, a point would be superb after playing so long with 10 men.

[Hibrandenburg]

Was on the cards. Long 5 minutes coming up.

:agree: a point would be like a victory after playing for 75mins with ten men.

What a clunge Beaton has been.

Kick in the Staines that yin. Hang on for a point under the circumstances will be very good.

[Hibs90]

Get fresh legs on Lennon. Porteous and Whittaker.

[hibee_girl]

Jesus, they nearly won it there. Free kick coming off the bar and somehow McGregor and Bell got to it first.

[Hibs Class]

Another cracking save from Bell there

[IGRIGI]

I would've done time if that had went in.

[Time For Heroes]

What a save from Bell

[Jim44]

Bartley had the chance to tap it back to Bell but kicked it straight to a Saints player.

Lovely bit of putting the boot into Cammy Bell there by some saintee player in the scramble.

Would have taken a point after Marciano early red but was beginning to think we’d see it out.. would have been a gutter leaving empty handed so fair enough..

[Hibee87]

Very good performance considerig.gutted we didnt manage to hold on or get a second. Have to say kamberi played up top on his own brilliantly for 75 minutes. Gets himself infont of his man and got the ball down just about ever time. I hope we can keep him.
Well done those brave enough to lump it on mcginn getting a boking

Totally agree. Very good and deserved point considering we were playing with 10 men for 75 mins. The red card certainly did change the complexion of the game. Unlucky not to have scored that winning 2nd goal through McGregor as the foul from Hanlon looked soft. Both ref and linesman on the far side were abysmal! Alston should have seen red.

[Golden Bear]

Good point under the circumstances. Alston's was a stone wall red card.

[neil7908]

Really wanted to win that one after they beat us at Easter Road earlier in the season but in the circumstances a draw isn't a bad result.

[CentreLine]

Is that Dylan and SJM out next couple of games?

[iwasthere1972]

A point won rather than two points lost. Happy with that considering how long we played with ten men and the pressure we were under in the second half.

Tommy Wright. Calm down man..its only fitba.

[Onion]

Rocky cost us tonight. Surprised we weren't more composed and on the ball even with 10 men. St J are garbage and must be delighted to get a point from us. With 11 Hibs men on the pitch, they would have been mincemeat.

[Hibs Class]

Haven't heard BT give MOTM yet, but I guess Bell in with a shout. At least 3 top saves.

[One Day Soon]

Gutsy performance there. This team and club is developing real steel.

Lenny being in the stand didn't seem to hinder us too much either despite the gloom monger predictions.

[ekhibee]

An excellent point for us after Marceano's stupidity. Thought Cammy Bell was great for us.

Aye and despite the fact we actually scored twice and should have played at least the last 30 mins 10v10.

Yep, if the ref does his job then we win that game. Lennon will be absolutely fuming, yet again.

McGinn will miss the Partick and Hamilton home games coming up, McGeouch has 2 weeks to get fit so chances are he'll be back for the Partick game. He just might miss out on the Scotland games

[Hibs Class]

Is that Dylan and SJM out next couple of games?

Not sure about Dylan. Haven't heard about his injury

[Mr Grieves]

Keep Lennon away from the media

[tamig]

What a dirty shower they were. Some outrageous blatant fouling.

[Scooter]

That's the worst ref performance yet. Absolutely shocking. Rocky messed up but out of all the replays on tv none showed that he actually handled the ball surly if the tv cameras didn't pick it up then Beaton didn't therefore with out conclusive you can't send him off?? And how they finished the game with 11 I'll never know

[Jim44]

Definitely keep Bell in goals now until he deserves to be replaced. Marciano’s rush of blood has cost him dearly.

[Dinkydoo]

seriously? Not happy the shift they all put in? Incredible comment.I'm not faulting the effort at all, they all ran their legs off.

However I felt we were really sloppy in possession and making lots of bad decisions when we did go forward.

Saying that, it's a credit to how the team has shown they can play recently to be a bit disappointed with that.

Conditions didn't help either.

Beaton put a lot at risk to dig out that draw. Shockingly inconsistent decisions. We should have been back to even number of players but he was not going to let that happen.

Great effort by our team though and I am thinking a draw might be a good outcome.

Once again a disgraceful refereeing performance against us, our card is truly marked by them now.

That's probably fair tbh. He was the difference which ultimately gave them a point. As for us Stevenson and Bell were stand out (albeit Bell making asave from his poor kick). As for the rest they put in a shift being 1 down and under horrendous conditions.

I've said on another thread but if a Celtic or Rangers player got kicked every game like John does we'd never hear the end of it. He's going to get a bad injury one of these days as nothing is being done about treatment he gets.

Bell will get his chance with Marciano suspended for the game and definitely deserves an opportunity to prove himself. I thought he played really well tonight (his save from the free kick at the end and bravery shielding the ball from the rebound was brilliant) but after a wobble earlier in the season Marciano has looked excellent recently. Tough decision to drop him after one moment of madness.

[madhatter]

Any mention of Dazs' disallowed goal?

That goal should have counted. No idea why that was disallowed. No way was it Hanlons challenge with Anderson, nothing in it.

Marciano was an idiot.
Alston should have seen red.
McGinn was fortunate not to see red for his tackle although probably wouldn't have needed to make that tackle should it have went 10v10.

[green day]

Any mention of Dazs' disallowed goal?

Correct decision. Hanlon fouled the boy before heading back.

[Greenbeard]

Agree Bell did well. Strange though, given how wet and cold it was (-8 wind chill they said on BT Sport and it looked really sh*tty), that he came out for the second half in the same wet and muddy kit. Surely a night for wet kit off at half-time and fresh kit for the second half, even if only warmer and drier for 10mins. Couldn't tell from tv if the outfield players had changed shirts.

[greenpaper55]

A decent result given the circumstances, we need to use some brains when we have free kicks and not launch ball into the box where it just comes straight back at us but it was a horrible night to play any kind of football and the conditions were a great leveller. Because of one stupid mistake by the keeper we have lost a great chance to go third but on another night we could have lost this so all in all not a disaster.

[green day]

Ok, he kicked it back, still a foul. Just watched it again.

[BlackSheep]

So how many games is Marciano suspended for?

[madhatter]

Ok, he kicked it back, still a foul. Just watched it again.

Yeah I was kidding. I still think it was soft but that's just me. Always find it funny when nudges and pulls get called as fouls and can be punished with bookings yet Alstons tackle is just the same (a booking). I'm struggling to see a spectrum - what constitutes a red card against us? Every bad tackle seems to maybe reach the stage of being a foul and the extreme ones seem to be yellows. Red seems to be off the spectrum.

If like to see stats on who is the most fouled team and number of red cards awarded against said team. Be interesting.

its a decent point all things considered but feels a wee bit like 2 points dropped once you get within ten minutes of all 3 points after holding out for basically the whole match

[ACLeith]

First game for nearly a year. His save at the end was even better than Rocky's best. Deserves a bit of slack

[brythehibby]

Great effort and fight when our backs were against the wall tonight. Unlucky in the end but they squandered a load of chances as well so take a point. Some of the decisions by Beaton were beyond belief and it’s happening all too often this season.

11 v 11 I’d have fancied us to win that comfortably.

[Stewboy]

Bell made a few excellent saves but I didn't feel as comfortable with him in goals as I usually do Marciano. He looks awkward from crosses and his kicking was suspect at times.

Did you feel comfortable with Marciano out of goals, tho’? :greengrin

:greengrin

Rocky had a howler tonight but generally speaking I'm confident with him. Bell looked uneasy with a few of the balls into the box tonight which I'm confident Marciano would have dealt with. One of his great saves came from a dreadful kick.

He did come in and do his job very well tonight, but I'd rather stick with Marciano personally.

[Biggie]

So in Scottish football today its okay to clean a player out, with NO attempt to play the ball (ala the saints boy today and cockring earlier this season) and you'll only get a booking. A similar punishment to using industrial language to the ref, or kicking the ball away.
No wonder our games seen as a joke out with Scotland. The standard of refereeing is shocking.

[jacomo]

In the context of the game I’ll take a point.

Onwards!

[heretoday]

We were hard done by tonight. They should have had a man off in the second half and that would really have levelled it up.
But a draw at Perth is never a bad result.

[WeeRussell]

Beaton was far from brilliant, and I thought he missed a couple of clear yellow cards.

For me, he did get the two ‘red card incidents’ correct though, albeit the one on McGinn was verging on red.

Frustrating that Marciano’s daft red put us in that position, but a good effort from the boys. Here’s hoping it doesn’t turn out to be a bad point this weekend!

[Johnny_Leith]

It's basically rugby with a round ball in Scotland. We are constantly shafted by refereeing. Officials are too lenient and don't apply the rules of the game correctly, because we've kicked each other for years and that makes it ok, ken 🙄.

How Alston and the left back werent sent off was ridiculous! Both committed blatant red card fouls and Alston even got away with another yellow card!!

Infuriating as our lads deserved so much more, both in points on the board and protection from the officials.

There was one cross in to the box in the first half when it looked like he struggled however the ref told him he was going to give him a foul.

Other than that plus one poor kick, I don’t know when else you think he looked uneasy

?? Bell looks awkward for crosses, you sure you are watching Marciano properly he rarely even comes for any!

Bell looks a better keeper, I think he might have to improve his kicking but much more comfortable with him in goals.

Marciano done us tonight and there was no need to come out 30 yards, appalling judgement from our keeper.

?? Bell looks awkward for crosses, you sure you are watching Marciano properly he rarely even comes for any!

Bell looks a better keeper, I think he might have to improve his kicking but much more comfortable with him in goals.

Bell a better keeper based on 75 minutes...this place is something else at times. Wait till Bell has a howler, you'll be on here moaning about him as well.

that's a red every time i've watched it, beaton pulls out the yellow immediately so the thug can get another chance :agree:

Bell looks a better keeper? Wow. Sure Rocky has made mistakes (I count maybe two this season that have cost us) but he’s also saved us a large amount of points with some brilliant saves. Saying Bell looks better on the basis of 75 minutes is mental.

Disgusting how many times hibs fitba players are assaulted by these no mark thugs in this league. Lennon is right to ask for protection. Unfortunately booting boys in the air is seen as an honourable tactic for some reason.

[J-C]

Bell definately starting next match as rocky will be serving automatic suspension

I didn't even think of that :thumbsup:

Rocky is on another level from Bell, that’s why Bell is backup. He done very well though and made some great saves but to say he’s better than rocky is so far off the mark!

St J players are a bunch of cowards. They wouldn't dream of doing that to Celtic or Sevco players, as the ref would deal with them properly with a string of red cards. But when it comes to Hibs, they're quite able to hack their way around the pitch in a deliberate and desperate effort to stop us playing football - knowing that the referee is not going to give Hibs the same level of protection that the sacred Celtic or Sevco players get. Can you imagine a Sevco player doing what Alston did last night to a Celtic player ? He'd be red carded the second he made contact.

It's clear that referees are not going to give Hibs players the protection they need and deserve, so the team have to stand up for each other. Forget the refs, they are part of the problem - look after yourselves.

[wallpaperman]

I've not read the entire thread but surely the team isn't getting criticised after a battling performance like that?!

Exactly, it was a battling backs against the wall performance that deserves a lot of credit.

You can play with 10 men for 20 minutes or so and you can cover up the man difference but for over 80 minutes (if you include injury time) it's going to show and it did, no matter who you are playing against.

But to end up with a point, I think we have to tuck that one away and consider it a point gained. Frustrating that would have jumped over Aberdeen, but got two winnable, but not easy, home games coming up which would put us in a great position.

Bell is ackward with crosses right enough. I would be reluctant to play him at Easter Road, especially at this time of year.

Good to hear Gary Parker talking about the game, you don’t hear much from on him!

The game had everything? Maybe but it also showed loads of empty seats on TV - a shame.

[Hedlund12]

Can anyone enlighten me as to why Marciano was applauded after he was shown the red?
Personally I feel like slapping him!

Because he's a Hibernian player and we support our players. He's made a mistake, but his contribution to our cause since his arrival has been generally very positive. He'll be just as disappointed and angry in his mistake as his teammates, fans and management team.

The day before Easter Sunday at Easter Road? Let’s hope he doesn’t crack under the pressure of crosses then.

The doesn’t make sense.

[RossScott1991]

Rocky had a brain fart , it happens. He is still the best goalkeeper at the club. He probaly cost us the win however he has saved us from defeat many times. Just killie away recently. All is forgiven for a daft moment last night

I feel like slapping you for using a hashtag on a forum.

[MWHIBBIES]

Of course it does. Why would we give a player abuse for a mistake and potentially dent his confidence? Supporting him is far more likely to have a positive impact

[Stuart93]

I actually thought we could've brought on Whittaker for Allan earlier, before St J scored their equaliser.

You could see Allan had ran himself into the ground and it was clear we were needing more bodies at the back

[Shrekko]

And THAT does?

When Saints put on a 3rd striker, I felt that Hibs should have brought on Whittaker and gone 5 at the back for the remainder of the game

[andy1875]

Whittaker was stripped and ready to come on when they equalised.

[Hedlund12]

Good question... !!
Abusiung him (or any other Hibs player) will certainly not help us win!

It's not something I have done or indicated in my post that I'm in the habit of doing!
I support my team through good and bad. (And did the whole time we were in the Championship).

I said I felt like slapping Marciano! I didn't abuse him ... I merely questioned why the applause.

And now a hashtag on a forum with a space and punctuation in it. *shivers*

He was going off sent off regardless it wouldn’t have effected the outcome whatsoever. I would have applauded him in a chin up kind of way, myself.

yes but unfortunately with only 3 mins remaining, although i am quite often critical of why NL takes so long to make substitutions though

Yes he was at fault last night but no way is Bell at better keeper...not a Chance tho he did well last night

He makes a pretty good pundit. Just been called an intellectual Robbie Savage by Chris Sutton.

[ekhibee]

I certainly wouldn't shout abuse at Marciano but I certainly wouldn't have given him a round of applause either. I'll applaud him when he plays well and/or when he keeps a clean sheet, not when he costs us points with a really stupid sending off.

[angus hibby]

I thought handballs had to be a deliberate act? Or if your hands in an “unnatural position”.

Marciano does have his arms in air, but the ball then hits him in the chest first. As he brings his arms down, there is unavoidable contact with ball to arm. Maybe it’s just me, cos all pundits and even our manager says decision to send him off is the right one! What is the rule that caused him to be sent off?
