Hibs v Old Firm East

[Since452]

First Hibs manager to ever go 9 unbeaten from the off.

Even more impressive when you consider how much we were struggling when he came in. Looks like it gave all the players a huge lift.

[K-Zazu]

Must admit I’ve never heard of Hugh Shaw, what era was this?

[J-C]

Worked hard and deserved a point, glad we have Rocky as our keeper, top top class, very disappointed in Kamberi, he looks totally disinterested and was a waste of a Jersey today. Good opportunity to stick 2 fingers up to Lennon and did absolutely nowt.

Famous Five era.

Think it was mentioned that it was in the 1940's. They were more specific but I can't mind exactly.

[Speedway]

Seriously?

[ozwoody]

Must admit I’ve never heard of Hugh Shaw, what era was this?
1948 season

[HH81]

Shaw should have scored but overall a good point.

Roll on the derby.

[mayo hibee]

three times in the commentary it was mentioned that PH was continuing the good work that NL had started! did I miss something that we had won 2 in 14 before he left!! not once it was said that Lennon had inherited a team at the top of the league and he was continuing where Rodgers had left.PH is now a legend by going past the great Hugh Shaw by being unbeaten in first 9 games

Just Andy Walker being an arse as usual. Apparently all Heckingbottom has done is inherit an amazing squad and continued Lennon's brilliant work. You'd swear Lennon had Hibs in the European places with a top class squad rather than eighth in the league having fallen out with half the team and left them hopelessly unfit.

[hfc rd]

Good point against the champions. Just missing that final bit of quality in the final 3rd which could have turned the 1 point into 3. Also both Gray & Marciano were tremendous today.

[Lago]

Oné of the greatest mangers ever at E R

Listening to Neil Lennon just now & I have to say I am glad he left E R.

Agree. Poor interview and give Hibs no credit.

[lapsedhibee]

Smithers, St Johnstone, O'Riley, Turnball and Osmond.

[cabbageandribs1875]

kris commons needs to bin that unsightly turd-coloured tie, dress properly man fgs :cb




although makes amends by saying hibs could blow heartz out of the water by HT next week :)

[SHODAN]

Good point, deserved as well. If we'd taken our chances I reckon we'd have held on for the win.

I guess we should feel blessed that Lennon left us in such great shape that anyone walking in the door didn't have anything to do except carry on his great work and cement our champions league place.
To think that PH has matched Celtics tally over last 9 games and had no input in taking us to 5th, with a win at tynie, shows how great a shape we were in

[Since452]

We've moved on to bigger and better things.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i must say ER looks absolutely Resplendent in the sun, all the seats are the same shade of green, unlike the 50 shades of pink at the TinyDome

[SHODAN]

We've moved on to bigger and better things.

:agree:

Best part is we now have a manager who sees our rivals as Hearts instead of Rangers.

[tamig]

Lustig went in with 2 feet there and Mallan ends up booked.

That looked like a great tackle at the game to me. Didn’t even think
it was a foul and Mallan ended up with a card. Crazy decision.

[Jack Hackett]

So, 11 fouls by us and 5 yellows. No bias then!?

[J-C]

Could there be a little bit of playing against a very good team who have a manager who knows every one of our players very well?
I don’t know because I didn’t see the game.
I’d like to think there will be quite a bit of coaching Pre season so my hopes are high for Kamberi.

If you didn't see the game you cannot comment, Kamberi was a waste of a jersey today, lazy and totally disinterested, needs dropped.

[Heisenberg]

So, 11 fouls by us and 5 yellows. No bias then!?

Some of his decisions were dreadful today. Mallan was booked for that tackle on Lustig purely because of the reaction it got. Great challenge.

[pacoluna]

Who for? Shaw? who wasted two golden opportunities.. what was he doing with the first one !

[BegbieHSC]

Was Lennon screaming his heid off at Mallan when he got booked? Looked like it from where I was. Would be really disappointed if he showed that level of disrespect to a player he signed and managed.

[CraigHibee]

Piss poor refereeing at times, soft bookings apart from kamberi, that was just daft

[Marvellous]

:agree:

Wtf are you on about?

[SaulGoodman]

Would you really be surprised at that dick?

[hibbie02]

Was loving the Broonie v Omeonga tussles and I think they were too. Then Kamberi jumps in, gets himself booked. If it wasn't for him diving in, I think the ref would have let things go more. Broonie was giving Steph the wink and got a big grin back. They didn't clash much after.

[blackpoolhibs]

If you didn't see the game you cannot comment, Kamberi was a waste of a jersey today, lazy and totally disinterested, needs dropped.

I thought he was fine, in fact i thought he put in a power of work albeit wide. They did have quite a bit of control of the ball in the 2nd half, and both wide men had a lot of work to do defending which in Kamberi's case is not that natural for him.

I'd have liked him on the end of the chances Shaw squandered.

[J-C]

Who for? Shaw? who wasted two golden opportunities.. what was he doing with the first one !

Point to where I said Shaw?

Horgan is far more effective playing on the left, Kamberi is playing there to fit him in, Sparky is a better all round striker but Kamberi just strolled around all day looking pissed off. If Heckingbottom wants to play av4-3-3 then Kamberi will have to adapt or move on. The fact the manager has got Shaw re training to play a wider role shows what he's looking for, adaptable strikers who can play anywhere across the front line.

[MWHIBBIES]

If you didn't see the game you cannot comment, Kamberi was a waste of a jersey today, lazy and totally disinterested, needs dropped.

Why does he need dropped? Will that help us get back to form? Oh no, wait, we're in brilliant form and he's playing a part.

[InchHibby]

That looked like a great tackle at the game to me. Didn’t even think
it was a foul and Mallan ended up with a card. Crazy decision.
It was a great challenge, I was directly in line with it in the West Upper, if anything Lustig was late in getting there, Mallon got the ball and Lustig rolled about as if both legs were broken. The Ref reacted to the screaming Lustig.

[Onion]

Piss poor refereeing at times, soft bookings apart from kamberi, that was just daft

Raf basically allowed Celtic to bully Hibs players all across the park. Lost count of the number of dives by Celtic players in / /around the box with zero punishment. Brown doing the splits in an effort to con the ref into giving Celtic an unwarranted penalty kick, and then feigning injury so as not to get booked was the worst. Mallan's booking was also a disgrace, reacting to Lutig's career ending ghost collision.

For a team that should be winning this league at a canter, they do an awful lot of cheating.

[J-C]

Why does he need dropped? Will that help us get back to form? Oh no, wait, we're in brilliant form and he's playing a part.

Yes the teams doing quite well but he was a wasted Jersey today and has been a few times this season. I don't know if its because Hecky is asking him to play a different role but he barely chased down a ball, hardly dropped back to help and gave up on a tackle a good few times.

[wookie70]

You were watching a different game to me. Worked hard, held the ball up pretty well and is very much a part of the team that have just gone unbeaten in the league for 9 games. I don't think anyone played poorly today.

[G B Young]

Excellent point which I'd certainly have taken before the game. Sound tactics and a strong mentality are a profitable combination. Fair to say a lot of these players are proving they are better than they were showing latterly under Lennon. It's easy to forget we're also missing several influential players too, so with a fully fit squad and a summer signing window behind us we should be confident for next season.

I still think it's asking a lot to snatch fourth spot but it won't be for want of trying. We've certainly got a good chance of stretching our lead over the yams to six points next week, and even if we don't win they still can't go above us whatever the score in the derby.

[CMac1988]

Hayes should've been booked early on for diving. Brown should've been booked for throwing his arm at Omeonga, this would've meant Kamberi would'nt have got booked. It was a daft thing to do though. Mallan's tackle was hard but fair and wasn't even a free kick never mind a yellow. Omeonga was a foul and no more. Stevenson's was deserved but he has Agyepong to blame for being usless.

Ref was dire.

[JohnM1875]

Who for? Shaw? who wasted two golden opportunities.. what was he doing with the first one !

At least he was in a position to waste chances. Flo was absolutely honking today. Can't see how anyone could say otherwise.

[B.H.F.C]

We’re not getting enough out of him attacking wise but you don’t keep a clean sheet against Celtic carrying passengers who don’t track back, chase the ball etc.

[HoboHarry]

Hard earned point against the champions and we have discussions about who is a waste of a jersey. That's the spirit :rolleyes:.....

[tamig]

If you didn't see the game you cannot comment, Kamberi was a waste of a jersey today, lazy and totally disinterested, needs dropped.

You cannot say he was disinterested. How do you know? Kamberi had a poor game today. That’s all.

[GreenCastle]

Kamberi is playing out of position and doing a job for the team.

He was fine today and has steadily improved the last few weeks.

My concern is our bench and Shaw - he had a chance today but 1st touch was sloppy.

[Lago]

Wtf are you on about?
Ok I'll explain it for you, Lennon was always a Celtic man & Rangers were his rivals, Heckingbottom is a Hibs man & sees Hearts, not Rangers, as our rivals.

[JohnM1875]

Hard earned point against the champions and we have discussions about who is a waste of a jersey. That's the spirit :rolleyes:.....

I know. You're right. I should have said I thought Flo was honking in an attacking sense.

He definitely did a lot of running and held the ball up pretty well. Not a waste of a jersey by any stretch of the imagination. Just an off game maybe highlighted by the amount of outstanding performances by his team mates.

[Carheenlea]

Saw a vast improvement this afternoon with the performance compared to the Cup Tie at Easter Road when we never layed a glove on Celtic. Enjoyed the game and a lot of the individual battles, and we carved out a decent number of chances against the strongest side in Scotland. Good point and more than decent start to the top six fixtures - roll on next Sunday.

[SCHAEDYSHORTS]

I was a thoroughly decent performance, looks like we are more comfortable playing football from the back, players making themselves available & wanting the ball. Well deserved point. Thought Celtic were making rather a meal of some of the tackles with the rolling around “ look ref, he’s broke both ma legs” antics. No way we should have got five booked, ref certainly conned at times.

[killie-hibby]

Listening to Neil Lennon just now & I have to say I am glad he left E R.

Shame on the interviewer for not asking Lennon why a team costing millions can’t beat a bunch of rejects and free transfers.

Yes they can, if they beat us 21-0:na na:

Opinions eh, I thought Kamberi was a waste of a jersey and probably quite a few Hibs fans would agree. Not sure what you guys are seeing or we are missing? He just does not look interested and we should get rid end of season when he might have some value ( based on last seasons performances) or we could be lumped with him.

[Lago]

That comment still irritates me. Can't believe he said it.

Hard to believe a manager would say that about his players.

[Northernhibee]

Hard to believe a manager would say that about his players.

If you read back over the “boy band” comment when he took over it’s a shocker. It seems to be a myth that he was referring to a “boy band mentality”, it’s Clough telling Leeds United to “throw all their medals in a bin” sort of stuff. Big confidence and feel good factor from the cup win and his first act is to publically go through them and make himself look the big man.

[Pretty Boy]

Daz telling Lennon to '**** off' after his little hissy fit when Lustig put in his Oscar winning performance was one of the highlights of the day.

[Marvellous]

Ok I'll explain it for you, Lennon was always a Celtic man & Rangers were his rivals, Heckingbottom is a Hibs man & sees Hearts, not Rangers, as our rivals.

I think Heckingbottom would be described as a Barnsley man, mate. Not that any of this utter nonsense matters.

[Lago]

No, like Lennon was, he is currently a Hibs man & unlike Lennon sees Hearts as our main rivals not Rangers, mate.

[ancient hibee]

Thought Kamberi worked his socks off in a role that is totally new to him and would have had a goal if Omeonga had played the pass in the first half.

[Hibrandenburg]

That looked like a great tackle at the game to me. Didn’t even think
it was a foul and Mallan ended up with a card. Crazy decision.

Booked for winning the ball. :agree:

[Marvellous]

When did Lennon say or indicate Rangers were our rivals and not Hearts? :confused:

Celtic will be miffed at having committed three fouls today.

Watch the game tonight again. He did the job he is asked to do. We were wide open when Shaw came on. Its a hard gig but hes learning every game.

[H18 SFR]

Absolute nailed on! Flo being replaced signalled the start of intense Celtic pressure. Granted Shaw missed a glaring opportunity by not getting his shot off when he was on but that aside we were under intense pressure.

[Deansy]

It was a great challenge, I was directly in line with it in the West Upper, if anything Lustig was late in getting there, Mallon got the ball and Lustig rolled about as if both legs were broken. The Ref reacted to the screaming Lustig.

Lustig was in such screaming agony that he took the foul he'd 'won' - just another example of a bent/biased Scottish referee !. Absolute joke - 11 fouls somehow produces FIVE yellows ???. I hope we appeal against all 5 !

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Anyone know why they put up barriers in the FFL in the middle section? Hadn't seen it happen before.

[lapsedhibee]

Yes they can, if they beat us 21-0:na na:

:tsk tsk: 11-0 would do it, though I'm not sure Potter would put out a formation capable of doing that much attacking.

[silverhibee]

Should be made in to a gif.

[Bishop Hibee]

Good result against the best team in the league. Heckingbottom’s tactics were spot on.

[Famous Fiver]

Think it could be another 4-6-0 next week.

We can't possibly get another Nick Walsh in charge, can we?

[B.H.F.C]

Watch the game tonight again. He did the job he is asked to do. We were wide open when Shaw came on. Its a hard gig but hes learning every game.

Yet going forward, Shaw could (should) have won us the game.

I don’t think Kamberi isn’t working hard. I think he’s doing a job out of position. But we’re not getting enough from him going forward. There was a couple of balls in, in the first half, where he should have been bursting a guy to get in at the back post. He wasn’t.

[JohnMcM]

:tsk tsk: 11-0 would do it, though I'm not sure Potter would put out a formation capable of doing that much attacking.

I never was any good at sums:greengrin

Omeonga 5/2 to be booked. Brown will make sure of that.

Should really have posted this in the bookie bashing thread!

[Paisley Hibby]

Was always more interested in the Old Firm than Hibs. We were just a means to an end.

To stop people walking in front of the disabled section.

My original comment may have been a bit charged but I always felt even given some good wins against them, Lennon put much more effort and importance onto games v Rangers than v Hearts. As evidenced by the fact he only lost once against Rangers compared to three losses against a far inferior Hearts team.
