Brown did what I'd want one of our players to do if we were being outplayed in the middle. It's football not cuddling. Frustrating never the less.

If one of our players did it he would have been sent off.

Looking comfortable.

Porteous is godlike.

Difference today is everyone is playing with a little confidence and is covering for their team mates. Lose the ball or misplace it and someone else is there to cover. Hard work over the park along with a little composure up front and happy days.

Well done Hibs.

Great boost for him and the squad which must be good for confidence. Hopefully, this will give us a bit momentum going forward.

For me, there is nothing better than seeing Hibs youth players breaking through to the first team, Porteous & Mackie and not looking out of place against the champions.

The best thing about these two is they are both physically developed and athletic which is key for football today.

Better stop now, don’t want to go over the score.

I have a smile for the rest of Sunday. 3 points and move on to Wednesday.

Excellent performance from all the Hibs players today. All worked really hard and our formation stopped them doing much on the wings. I was very worried when i saw the line ups but our diamond in midfield were magnificent.

[Oscar T Grouch]

What a game, every player played their best. Highlights for me;
1.Mallan, finally showing a bit of dig, never stopped, stuck his foot in everywhere
2. Horgan, much prefer him in the middle, never gave Broony a seconds peace, bullied a much bigger midfield than ours
3. Flo, he really needed a goal and what a ****ing goal that was.
4. Porto, we have a real gem on our hands with this laddy, he will be playing at the top level one day.
5. Mackie/Slivka Not surprised when Slivka didn't come out for the 2nd half, broony should have walked for that challenge, but excellent half by Slivka. I was worried when we brought on our U20s left back to replace Slivka, need not have worried, Mackie played like he does this every week, great assist.

Having started this post I realised I am just about to go thru the whole team and mention them all as highlights, one more, Marciano, great to have him back, good solid performance.

Today shows how good a team we can be when we work hard and for the team.

Just having Rocky behind them, in my opinion, gave the whole defence a great confidence boost. We looked much stronger at the back and never likely to lose these soft goals which we have conceded of late.

Bogdan will have to be patient.

Thought the whole team played really well with a tempo and skill that's been missing of late. The defence deserves a special mention as they'd been leaking soft goals of late and had been rightfully criticised for it but stepped up manfully today. Cracking second goal from the start of the break away to the brilliant finish from Flo.

A real boost going into the next matches.

Yes, Leigh (not Leith!) born and bred. I’m 32 now and have followed Hibs since I was 8 I think. Initially started when I met some Hibs fans on holiday when I was a kid so kept an eye out for the results then cemented when visiting Edinburgh when I was 9 or 10 and saw Easter Road from Calton Hill. I support Bolton as well as they’re my local team, and seeing Andy Walker and Mixu play for Hibs before I was even a teenager was just the icing on the cake. I only do maybe 3-4 games a season these days now that I’m a ‘grown up’ (some of the posters on here who know me may disagree!) but I used to do 15+ games a season if not more in my younger days and have been to plenty of away grounds with Hibs along with games in England (obviously), Sweden, Belgium and Germany.

Anyway, back to today’s game....!

Why not? Some of the pre-match negativity was embarrassing.

Wow, everybody's a genius at full time eh. Celtic were fresh from absolutely thrashing a team in great form and who had embarrassed us three weeks ago, not to mention our form, especially at home had been average at best recently ……. based on that on the way to the game I didn't think we had an earthly today and I was happy to say so to anybody who brought up the subject. So the negativity wasn't 'bedwetting' or embarrassing .. it was realistic based on the evidence of the last six weeks or so.

We got a result today because several players who had been way off their game for quite some time actually contributed to their full potential, or closer to it, all at the same time ….. Whittaker, Slivka, Hyndman, Horgan and Mallan were all better in overall play than they had been over the last few weeks and MacKie a guy who has had very few opportunities really stepped up and took his chance. For once Neil Lennon got his tactics and formation right from the kick off which meant he didn't have to wait for us to go behind and then change personnel and tactics half way through as he is often forced to do.

I suppose if you say 'aye we're gonnae dae this' before every game no matter who we are playing or how we are playing then you are going to be right at least some of the time …. but some folk prefer to assess how we will do based on the evidence of what they have actually watched over the proceeding matches and for todays game that meant we were long odds to win.

I'm glad you guys were so super confident we could win today before the game …… I was far from it, but I was still there cheering the boys on from the terraces along with 6 other folk we usually go to games with, none of whom thought we were going to win today. That's what real fans do, so less of the criticism eh!

Superb defending today from front to back. Great for the defence to come away with a clean sheet. I love watching us press the opposition like that, ten terriers all over the pitch.

Not one player was below excellent today and Horgan and Hyndan in particular looked like their real potential for the first time. Others we already knew had it.

Special mention for that ball boy.

Initially started when I met some Hibs fans on holiday when I was a kid so kept an eye out for the results then cemented when visiting Edinburgh when I was 9 or 10 and saw Easter Road from Calton Hill. I support Bolton as well as they’re my local team, and seeing Andy Walker and Mixu play for Hibs before I was even a teenager was just the icing on the cake. I only do maybe 3-4 games a season these days now that I’m a ‘grown up’ (some of the posters on here who know me may disagree!) but I used to do 15+ games a season if not more in my younger days and have been to plenty of away grounds with Hibs along with games in England (obviously), Sweden, Belgium and Germany.

Anyway, back to today’s game....!

I've been to Leigh: wee town between Manchester and Warrington - there was a hotel as you come off the East Lancs Road - the Greyhound?

That’s the one. Biggest town in Britain without a train station (apparently).

That’s the one. Biggest town in Britain without a train station (apparently).Heard Shaun Keaveney and Stuart Maconie have a wee "discussion" about Leigh on 6 Music the other day. If I heard it right, the former is from Leigh, the latter from Wigan.

The conversation seemed to be over whether Leigh is part of Wigan, similar to the relationship between Leith and Edinburgh. [emoji23]

Fully deserved, the better team won. Let's continue this performance and push for top four :flag:

Herald coverage is hilarious. Celtic players ranked at 3 or 4. It is a Celtic horror show and they need strikers. No mention how well Hibs played

Trash press saying both Celtic and Rangers should push the boat out for Kamberi . Intersting window coming up. Well done Hibs yesterday. I have been backing you at the bookies until the Hamilton game and skipped also the celtic game because i thought we had no chance. I will skip the hun game too, just to keep the winning run going !

They are conveniently forgetting how good Celtic have been last few weeks. 4-0 up at halftime against Killie, 3-0 up against Hearts at halftime. Where was that yeste day? We didn't let them play and deserve all the credit.

Rangers pushing the boat will be an offer of 50k in 300 installments . Sellick pushing the boat will be 100k or we will take him for nothing in january 2021

Sevco will be paying off laugherty instalments until the next millennium and SJM told us how the lesser greens compare and conduct their business. Celtc are a decent stepping stone if you want to get to Southampton though.

Laugherty was an impulsive, buy by Sevco. Judging by the comments on FF, he is poorly thought of by their supporters.

Correct, Keavney is from Leigh. Leigh-Wigan stuff goes as far back as being on opposing sides in the English Civil War! In the 1920s Leigh miners stayed on strike while Wigan miners ‘ate humble pie’ and went back to work, hence their ‘pie eaters’ nickname. A bit of useless local knowledge for you there!
