Development League game - Falkirk 1 Hibs 2 (FT)

[Billy Whizz]

Hibs development team are away to Falkirk tomorrow night (Monday 9th), 7pm KO at the Falkirk stadium. Fans are usually in the main stand. Falkirk usually have catering on, and normally free entry, but don’t quote me��

Only 3 games to go in the league, and tomorrow could be a pivotal day. Our nearest rivals, Aberdeen and Dundee play at 2pm tomorrow. So tomorrow night we should know what we have to do!

If you can get along and support them tomorrow night, it would be appreciated!

Still waiting to hear when the Youth Cup final is, but it must be soon, as the final is pencilled in at Hampden for Thursday 26th April, verses Aberdeen

As I said yesterday Billy, always look for your updates on the Development squad! Cheers, see you there tomorrow.

Cheers, will do

[Wheat Hound]

Will be there. Think a draw would be best for Dons v Dundee or a Dons win as we at least have them to play still.

[Cod Boy]

Not sure how true but heard yesterday that the Celtic semi final is this Thursday at Easter Road.

Heard that too at the game yesterday, possibly Thursday night at ER!
Celtic under 20’s have a game on Thursday away v Aberdeen as it stands.

Hopefully hear something in the morning to confirm or not

[cabbageandribs1875]

think i'l pop along for this one, first chance to see our young guns since we stopped playing at Livingston....yep a few years ago now :greengrin

[Jones28]

Just along the road from me so I'll be there!

[Sir David Gray]

5 minutes down the road for me so I'll probably pop down.

Complete contrast from yesterday's 3+ hours trek! :greengrin

Shame they don't play it on Saturday at Easter road,would get a decent crowd i would have thought

[Ringothedog]

Agree but both teams have players out on loan who play for their clubs on a Saturday

[Pagan Hibernia]

Dundee 1-0 up against Aberdeen

[Billy Whizz]

No time given though

[Pagan Hibernia]

Finished 1-0 to Dundee, who are now the number one threat and temporarily top.

We need to win tonight to reclaim the lead

[Smartie]

What are Falkirk like at this level?

[Oscar T Grouch]

What are Falkirk like at this level?

They currently sit joint bottom with Killie and St Mirren.

[Billy Whizz]

What are Falkirk like at this level?

Not so good this year, unless they have been playing overage players
Falkirk are at Inverness tomorrow night, so can’t see too many 1st tramets involved

Noticed Barker tweeted last night that he’d be back playing next week, presume tonight is too early for him?

[GlesgaeHibby]

Loves a goal does porteous

[Sir David Gray]

Glorious chance missed as Shaw ran into the box and squared it to Swanson but his effort was blocked.

[Famous Fiver]

Berra the best defender in Scotland?

Geez a break.

Step forward, young Ryan!!!

[Sir David Gray]

Another great chance missed by Swanson from a few feet out. Should have done better.

[Sir David Gray]

Half time 1-1 Hibs should be well ahead.

[Billy Whizz]

Good end to the half from Hibs. Two sweeping moves that we should have finished off

[Radium]

Very random but why did Falkirk play Fields of Fire when the teams came out? Dunfermline song surely

Hope it keeps up 2nd half Billy. Your updates seem luckier.

[Sir David Gray]

Great chance for Allan just wide of the post.

[GreenCastle]

1-1 Porteous

Was it a headed goal ?

Brilliant, how long to go?

[Ryan91]

Probably just under 10 minutes plus added time if 2H kicked off at 8

[SirDavidsNapper]

Well done Zoro

[Sir David Gray]

Shaw through one on one with the keeper who made a save.

[Sir David Gray]

Full time 2-1 Hibs

A lot more comfortable than the score suggests. Could easily have been about 5 or 6 and probably should have been.

Good win though.

[Mikey]

Thanks for the updates folks :aok:

[Pagan Hibernia]

The next, and penultimate, round of games will likely decide matters one way or another. We play third place Aberdeen. Dundee play 4th place Hearts...

still, we’ve got a cup final to get to first!

[cabbageandribs1875]

couple of falkirk fans i was sitting next to were just as baffled as me as to why it wasn't 5 or 6, poor finishing, danny should have scored in the 1st half when through in the box and blasted it over, both oli and lewis had great chances in the first 90 seconds of the 2nd half, then oli again later on having his shot saved in a one-on-one although it was at an angle so can put it down to a good save really, if there's any possession stats available i imagine it would be in the 80%+ range for the away team :agree:

[cabbageandribs1875]

Hibs 21-20 to win ht ft . I’m having a wee bit of that .



i really wish i hadn't saw these odds earlier :(

[Billy Whizz]

Just back, after the M9 southbound was shut at the Queensferry turn off, sent us all that way before back to Edinburgh!!!

Slow start tonight, probably because of the positional changes in the team. Lost an early goal, but once we got going, completely dominated
Fantastic header from Porteous for the equaliser. As other posters have said, Swanson had 2 great chances before ht to increase our lead
2nd half was one way procession. Inside first couple of mins we had a couple of excellent chances to go ahead
Thought it might be one of these nights, but a good move saw shaw passing to Swanson to score a good team goal
Oli should have made it 3, where he shrugged off the centre half, but was unable to score past the Falkirk goalie, who I thought had an excellent game, held the hall well throughout the game
3 points were the main thing tonight, were able to rest a couple of players tonight in advance of Thursdays game, and Marvin and Danny got 90 mins game time as well

Lennon and Parker in attendance, talking to the players the whole game, must be great for the players to get the support of the 1st team management

Big game on Thursday night v Celtic, who beat Partick 3-0 tonight

Sounds pretty similar to the top team at the weekend

Sums it up well and definitely reflects what I watched.

I thought Shaw had a good game tonight, ran the channels really well and gave their back line a torrid time.

Apart from a terrible back pass in the first half which almost lead to a goal, Porteous strolled through the game and took his goal well.

[007 Mickey Weir]

So we need Hearts to do us a favour. Or just win last two games and league in the bag...

[KingFranck]

Dunfermline play Into The Valley but you are correct why are Falkirk playing it ?
Maybe they recognise a good song ? Or maybe they only have one CD The Crossing ?

[scuttle]

Thought Swanson was the best player on the pitch by a mile, Oli Shaw also had a good game and cant remember Falkirk having one attempt on goal in the second half

Win our 2 games and it’s in the bag
Both home games

[southsider]

One v Aberdeen. Whom is the other league game against Billy ?
