Hecky's Heroes v Celtic

[MrRobot]

allan having a nightmare.

[HibbyDave]

An offside goal but on the other hand they should have had a penalty.
Looks far too easy for them.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Out of their depth.

Sadly we all knew that before a ball was kicked today. It's utterly depressing.

[HFC 0-7]

Horgan cannot track a man.

[Nicho87]

Sack him at half time hibs. Make history

[The Tubs]

If we don't believe in ourselves against livvy at home, how are we going to find belief in a game like this?

[cabbageandribs1875]

stick to the other day job Ross...yer humpty at that tae

[Jim44]

Watch Vela and James during the 2nd goal.

Vela is a total joke of a player - said it all season. Just watch him off the ball - he’s hiding.

Awful attitude.

Game over after 15 mins.

Surely has to be the last ever Hecky game.

Vela was responsible for the first goal. He’s bowf. Says it all about PH.

[HH81]

Need to be careful or this wil be an absolute hammering.

Due to moving house I made decision to give today a miss as meant a stay over due to no trains back to England. Looks a great move.

[Box 17]

Our lack of quality in every area of the pitch being ruthlessly exposed.

[DBHibs]

TV coverage showing clearly that the linesman had a perfect view of Edouard’s position when he received the ball in the run up to the second goal but somehow still thought he was onside :confused:

[Peevemor]

Vela was responsible for the first goal. He’s bowf. Says it all about PH.Even though he was a Lennon target?

[mcfly]

We have fallen so far.

Can’t even get our own half.. disgusting

Without a new manager and serious investment crowds will plummet

[hibsbollah]

Nice double block by Jackson or thats 3-0.

[CloudSquall]

It's like a game of FIFA on easy mode where the computer's defense just runs back and back and back without trying to put a tackle in.

[Smartie]

If we had the "passenger" Mallan we might have a chance but tonight it looks like we've got the "liability" Mallan.

I think he's the worst player I've ever seen play for Hibs.

Heckingbottom should be hooking him now.

Allan has been little better, they both play the same position, they can't play anywhere else and we will continue to be destroyed by good teams and beaten by average ones as long as we think we can play the two of them at the same time.

[Fife-Hibee]

If Scott Brown has any decency he'll tell his mates to ease off.

If he has any decency, he'll urge them on to destroy us double figures right in front of Dempster and Gordon.

[SHODAN]

It's like a game of FIFA on easy mode where the computer's defense just runs back and back and back without trying to put a tackle in.

You're absolutely right.

[OxoHibby]

Afraid that’s what happens when you fill the team with dross. I don’t think Heckys coaching is particularly bad, it just he’s given himself a very poor product to work with.

I think his coaching is also bad. The team he talked about style of play us nothing like his team is even attempting. High press is easy to try where us it. Not even a high press inside our half which is where we have been most of the game

[Fife-Hibee]

TV coverage showing clearly that the linesman had a perfect view of Edouard’s position when he received the ball in the run up to the second goal but somehow still thought he was onside :confused:

He obviously had other things on his mind.....

[Cataplana]

Sadly we all knew that before a ball was kicked today. It's utterly depressing.

I said on another thread that it is the inevitability of all this that is so depressing.

Bunch of players who have never played in a major cup semi, or at Hampden, utterly clueless.

Can only hope the heads don't drop completely.

[Fifehibby74]

Called it with the high press 😂

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Bit of a fluke but but we will take that.

[wallpaperman]

Yes, go on the good guys. :flag:

[Peevemor]

Game on!

[Speedway]

[cabbageandribs1875]

what a team :thumbsup::thumbsup::flag::flag::greengrin:greengr in

[Deansy]

If thrashed here, please let it be the end of this. Hecky is a nice guy, don’t have anything against him but this isn’t good and he isn’t getting any form of consistent improvement.

If things don’t improve this game alone could be double figures.

No he isn't - his denials of his team performances/results and interviews are all carefully worded to ensure he gets his contract paid-in-full when he gets bulleted !. A decent, honourable man would admit he's obviously not up to this job and resign !.

[hfc rd]

Come on Hibs!

[Brightside]

Comeback on

[Jim44]

Even though he was a Lennon target?

I stand corrected ...... he’s still bowf.

[EH6 Hibby]

Never any doubt lol.

[Fife-Hibee]

Where did that come from? :faf:

[McHibby]

Never.

Thank you for this. I thought, "same".
I'm 38 and Hibs have been mince-to-average for most that time, it just makes the good times all that better.

[hibsbollah]

Tremendous falling over-stumble assist from Doidge, sort of:greengrin

We have no right to be, but we've found ourselves right back in this.

[Vault Boy]

Hallberg is one of our best players. Glad he's got that, hope he isn't substituted today.

[Weegreenman]

A wee rub of the green and boom we’re back in the game for now. I don’t think we’re capable of pulling this off but I’m happy to be proved wrong!

[The Tubs]

Is Allan carrying an injury?

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

A sniff of a chance. When was the last time a striker scored for us?

[One Day Soon]

Isit possible to win the cup by drawing in the semi and then drawing in the final?

[hibee_girl]

Is Allan carrying an injury?

Possibly, he looked like he injured himself taking the penalty on Wednesday

[SHODAN]

Isit possible to win the cup by drawing in the semi and then drawing in the final?

Nah, it gets withheld and there's no winner that year.

[Speedway]

Brian Kerr was seen everywhere compared to Vela.

[Peevemor]

Possibly, he looked like he injured himself taking the penalty on WednesdayHe had his calf trampled after he went down for the penalty.

[McHibby]

Is Allan carrying an injury?

Did he not hurt himself last week, scoring the penalty?

[Fife-Hibee]

Only if we keep drawing on penalties until the opposition get fed up and go home.

[Off the bar]

So easy for them. Just strolled though us.

[staunchhibby]

Action must be taken this week.

[Speedway]

Tom Jones would be better at right back.

[Fifehibby74]

Craigan talks some garbage.

[cabbageandribs1875]

james at fault for two imo

[The Harp Awakes]

Tom James ... Dearie me

Shocking defending. Nowhere near his man.

[Leith Green]

A team full of slow , weak , clueless footballers .. Managed by a clueless. Spineless manager

[Brightside]

We need Boyle on the right

[Vault Boy]

Keeper also has to do a lot more with those last two IMO. Get off your line and commit, or hold position to make a save, half way between is suicide.

[Hibby Bairn]

Hibs MUST cancel the contracts of most if not all of these signings from England. They are nowhere near the required quality. And the manager. It might cost them a million pounds but relegation will cost more than that.

[hibsbollah]

Has it been James each time? I’ve got to say, I thought he had been doing alright...though my eyesight is pish to be fair

James was good last time we played them. Hes just been destroyed by Eduoard. Hes the better player, end of.

[CloudSquall]

Has James been told not to tackle?

Edouard won't have an easier shift in his career.

He is awful. Even though it was offside his decision to ball watch at the second goal is remarkable.

[GreenCastle]

Yes -

1st goal - trotting back.

2 goal - his man was inside and Vela pathetic attempt at getting back

3rd goal - skinned 1-1

It’s not all his fault but hasn’t helped himself.

[Potty78]

[Beefster]

He was doing alright up to about a minute before they scored their first. In his defence, the other side hasn’t been any better.

[Hibs Class]

Almost entirely a painful watch. 3-1 doesn't flatter Celtic, the most impressive thing about them is the way they do the simple things right, time and again

[Vault Boy]

Allan been murder too

Without doubt, but we know what he's capable of. Vela hasn't shown anything to suggest he can do much more.

[Craig_in_Prague]

I feel numb as a hibee these days.

We are utter garbage and its painful.

[Speedway]

We’re devoid of just about everything.

[madhatter]

How many subs are we allowed?

I’d like to make 7.

Not exaggerating here but some of our fans would be able to do better than some of our players. Mallan can’t run, James doesn’t tackle and Vela is the missing man. Doidge is complete rubbish.

We need a massive clear out.

I’m not exaggerating but I think Hallberg and Allan are the only two players I’d keep from summer recruitment. 3 year contracts to these players...jeez.

[DBHibs]

Hopefully that was Hecky writing his resignation letter on his notepad there.....

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Get all these lame ducks out of Easter Road FFS!

[SlickShoes]

I can't believe folk are blaming the goalie for any of this, utterly stupid.

[jimmyboco#1]

Stevie Mallan worst player on the park. Done nothing and gives James no help, not a right midfielder, but what is he??? Shocking. . This is coming from someone who's actually at the game!

[cabbageandribs1875]

Hampden looking resplendent in that shot at HT

[wookie70]

Aye Vella will supply the passes. He’s not touched the ball yet Take Vela off too but Allan is having one of the worse halves I have seen from a Hibs player. Vela is chasing shadows partly because Horgan, Mallan and particularly Allan never track and Doidge doesn't work anywhere near hard enough, Vela has still been poor though. We needed Celtc to play poorly and they have been very good. Bigger comeback than the Falkirk semi needed. On the plus side Lewis has done well as has Hallberg

[Callum_62]

I can't believe folk are blaming the goalie for any of this, utterly stupid.Marciano would've saved them all and probably scored

[Leith Green]

This cannot continue any longer , this is an utter embarrassment and our board need to get a ****ing grip.

[hfc-1875]

Absolute shambles of a first half, as expected no fight at all no tackling and can’t defend. Got lucky to get back in it then lose a soft goal like that. Game over. Looking at that team we need a full new starting 11 and that’s not exaggerating.

[GreenCastle]

As expected a crap half.

Like Ibrox - lucky to be back in it.

Hardly put a few passes together and looks much slower then Celtic.

Defence shown up as a lack of a decent CDM costing us again especially when luxury players Allan and Mallan are playing. If you play these 2 you need x2 McGinn type players alongside them. Add in awful performances from Vela / James and not even sure if Doidge is on the pitch.

Like Rangers game it could be 6 in 2nd half if Celtic want to make a statement.

[Nicho87]

Uninterested in hibs. Exactly how I envisaged our team to crumble tonight.

Like 6k other season ticket holders under this current manager not interested in parting with £40 plus to go and see that standard of performance.

We are genuinely meant to be happy with this?

[CloudSquall]

Worryingly Celtic are in 2nd gear, just have to hope they don't decide to actually start playing.

[madhatter]

Allan been murder too

Might just be me but he doesn’t look very well. I’d be sick as well if I was playing in a team this bad.

He’s been poor but the midfield he’s playing in is quite possibly the worst in the league.

[PH91]

What a terrible first half display. Lucky to only be 3-1.
Get boyle and kamberi on at ht.

[neil7908]

We've signed some very, very poor players.

The really scary bit is they are all on 3 year contracts. Its going to destroy the next manager's budget to get rid of them.

[SHODAN]

This is a Butcher level performance.

[Hibby Bairn]

And then the money for replacements. Not going to happen.

A new manager may get more out of them.

You’ll have the wages freed up after taking the one off hit.

[Fife-Hibee]

Celtic to bring on 11 Mannequins in the second half to limit the humilation to 4.

[H18S NX]

James was bad,but watch Vela at Celtics 3rd,just strolled going back.

[The 90+2]

Serious question, has Mallan touched the ball all half? This is going to get very embarrassing, I really feel for Paul Hanlon here.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

The look on leanne's face says it all.......im sure he will be sacked soon.....15 games

[The 90+2]

Vela’s a ****ing coward.

[OxoHibby]

Serious question, has Mallan touched the ball all half? This is going to get very embarrassing, I really feel for Paul Hanlon here.

I was wondering the same about mallan

[bruno]

I can see James getting run ragged but surely the fact Celtic stroll through midfield every time they go forward is just as bad
Need to defend from the front
Watching this knowing tomorrow will be very siimilar

[GreenCastle]

Stevie Mallan worst player on the park. Done nothing and gives James no help, not a right midfielder, but what is he??? Shocking. . This is coming from someone who's actually at the game!

Mallan being hung out to dry on the right.

Like Allan was earlier in season.

Mallan was player of season centrally and best game this season was centrally against Hamilton away.

We will probably risk Boyle at half time and rush him back when he’s not fully ready to try save Hecky again.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Mallan again. He will not track back.

Correct, heart of a mouse with his feigning tackles. We all know his positive qualities, however he is not what we need right now given our situation and certainly not in a semi against Celtic.

[GreenCastle]

James was bad,but watch Vela at Celtics 3rd,just strolled going back.

Was Vela at 2nd also.

Plus most of the games this season.

I would honestly have Liam Craig back - offers more.

[MacGruber]

I can't believe folk are blaming the goalie for any of this, utterly stupid.

I get what you mean. It's not the goalies fault, it is that we are horrific and gutless compounded with Celtic being far better in all departments.

That said Marciano saves that first header every time. No chance with other 2 and all a moot point as we are getting hosed all over the shop.

James, Vela and Mallan - words fail me

[emerald green]

Not to worry, "Hibs have had a strong transfer window." :rolleyes:

[The Captain....]

There is not one area of that team that functions properly. It's slow, lazy and without the ball has no shape whatsoever. It looks like 11 blokes picked at random from the sunday leagues.

This team is a disgrace to the shirt..I actually despise some of these players.

Too many players doing the same old... **** all.

Whittaker for Vela and Boyle for Mallan. Try and get two up front at some point too cause they're in complete control and we might as well go for it now.

Usual goal that never was against us but we're constantly under pressure and we only have ourselves to blame.

Need to show a bit of courage in the 2nd half and hold the ball up, looking to find a team mate.

[surreyhibbie]

Just walking through us, they can score when they like, we have no leader to organise the defence.

Apart from that we are ok... :rolleyes:

Get Boyle and Kamberi on, nothing to lose now.

[Dalkeith Boy]

He is awful. Even though it was offside his decision to ball watch at the second goal is remarkable.

James has been a disaster...looks like he does not care and can't even run. Allan very bad. Mallan non existent. Vela...looks like a retiree.....Stevenson has not been himself all season, Jackson way too slow. Doidge will never score.....this is a terrible situation that Hibs are in...even if we sack Heckingbottom what is another man gonna do with all these third rate players that he has brought in?

[One Day Soon]

I like Maxwell but he was poor for that first one.

Might as well bring on Boyle and kamberi, try and give them something to think about.

[18Craig75]

There’s no way James & Vela should be starting after their performance recently. Not willing to put their body on the line for the sake of our club or the manager that signed them. Add Doidge to that as well.

Ultimately Heckys signings and his faith in them have got him the sack.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Tom James looks like a Conference level player. If the ability to know how to defend doesn't come to him naturally, then we should be bettter with planning and shape and organisation. I don't see that anywhere in the team right now.

Kick *****, show some passion and leadership, play a different style of football, drop the useless ****s and play some of the fringe and youth players, choose an attacking formation, be credible as a manager...

[Fife-Hibee]

We are crushing them in the half time penalty shootout.

Get the young team on for the second half!

[gazzag70]

Unfortunately we do not have the funds to replace a lot of the players however a decent manager would almost certainly get a lot more from this squad. Heckingbottom needs replaced as soon as possible to give us any kind of chance of rescuing this season from disaster.

Pretty shocking 1st half from us - a serious lack of commitment, passion and work rate from most of the team in what is a semi-final against Celtic: what motivation do these guys need?
Expect some changes 2nd half, but not sure what positive difference it will make - the semi may well be done and dusted already, but what is more worrying is that this "team" really do look like relegation candidates.

[vercol36]

Ron can take his money back and then go take a flying ***** to himself tbh.

Maybe for free transfers but they are rare in January. Anyway they normally have a signing on fee.

Mulumbu and Efe would be valuable additions to our team though.

The fact some folk reckon James is heckys best signing sums it up. He has signed a complete and utter lot of sheer trash.

Give new man time to see what’s wrong and allow him to send all the rubbish out on loan. Most of our summer signings will still be appealing to clubs down south. We need someone to prep the club for the January window and we need to be certain this doesn’t continue. That’s 3 seasons in a row where our summer transfer windows have been nothing short of scandalous.

Something stinks at the club.

That's what happens when you sign a player from Yeovil. They are in the conference.

[SHODAN]

It's bewildering that Whittaker had a great start to the season but he's being sidelined in favour of the James/Naismith roulette at RB and by Josh ****in' Vela at CM.

Poorest player on the park, James a nightmare does not even try to defend.

Yup, was about to say the same.

These three just aren’t good enough for Hibs.

That Tam James may well be a good singer but he aint no football player, along with a shocking defence and midfield (we have no attack) the gulf in quality and class is there for all to see, but that is all down to money, we should be able to compete a bit better but Hecky has filled this team wi duds.

[Squirrel 1875]

Can’t believe Paul Heckingbottom signed these players. Not only that, the scout got a promotion. Pathetic. There should have been a clear out from top to bottom of the staff behind the scenes because what happened over the summer has been nothing short of a disgrace.

I got slated on here for telling you all that there were managers in Scotland laughing at Heckingbottom’s signings. I was called a liar. Would love to know how many would still call me a liar now.

[cabbageandribs1875]

big game for sellick on thursday i can see them taking the foot of the pedal



:pray:

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

It'll be Allan.

Vela

[cabbageandribs1875]

Flo coming on. It better be Vela or Mallan going off


take a potential goalscorer off, :confused: vela it shall be

[Aldo]

Not watching but my dad text me and asked where we found the player called Vela?

He said he an imposter and should be nowhere near the jersey as he doesn’t care!

He switched it off because he was getting angry at the lack of effort by some Hibs morning layers!

Was Vela at 2nd also.

Plus most of the games this season.

I would honestly have Liam Craig back - offers more.

Yep, Liam Craig would do me too.

Vela is a goddam joke with his half hearted challenges and poor passing and we lose quite a few goals from him losing possesion.

Weak challenges seem be be a consistent problem with all Heckys signings and I'd be happy to see the back of every single player that Heckys brought in.

GGTTH

[Stuart93]

Left at 2-0...**** Heckingbottom

[Allant1981]

take a potential goalscorer off, :confused: vela it shall be

Cause he has been gash

[HFC 0-7]

James gets skinned again!

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

We have to go for it, but matching up Celtc like for like will be a tough shift.

[GreenCastle]

Hopefully last we see of Vela.

Can’t see him improving - not even a Man of Match performance this season in all the games he’s played.

[SHODAN]

Hopefully last we see of Vela.

Can’t see him improving - not even a Man of Match performance this season in all the games he’s played.

One of the most disappointing signings I can remember us making.

[Squirrel 1875]

The standard of our play is shocking

[CloudSquall]

James' attempted tackle :faf::faf:

[HH81]

Celtic hit post.

[SHODAN]

James putting in a Matt Doherty-esque Hampden performance.

[madhatter]

Mallan is not good enough for us. Take his shooting away and he is a very very average player. Can’t run, can’t pass.

It’s quite funny, when he passes the ball it genuinely looks like he’s admiring his pass (even when trash).

[Sir David Gray]

Tom James is absolutely ****.

[Joe6-2]

The standard of our play is shocking

How far have we plummeted in 3 seasons?!!

[GreenCastle]

If the recruitment team haven’t lined up a CDM in January they should be sacked too.

[rotherhamrob]

Does James ever go out to meet his man ffs?

[Leith Green]

That james is getting roasted... every ****ing time

[Joe6-2]

If the recruitment team haven’t lined up a CDM in January they should be sacked too.

They should have gone long ago

[cabbageandribs1875]

wow, almost 4

[hfc rd]

Tom James is the new Pa Kujabi

[HH81]

Hanlon with a header on target from a free kick. Quite a week one though.

[madhatter]

We are being saved from double figures here.

[Sir David Gray]

Celtic hit the post again.

[CloudSquall]

If the recruitment team haven’t lined up an entire team in January they should be sacked too.

Fixed.

[Hibs Class]

Celtic hit the post twice in two minutes

[LaMotta]

Mallan and Vela stealing a living.

James has been the worst of all of them. Gonny just admit that you were wrong about him.

[hfc rd]

Hibs’ MOTM is the post

[cabbageandribs1875]

thank goodness for a bit of wood






should this be on the semi in birmingham thread

[Speedway]

Allan tried to take on the entire Celtic XI

[PH91]

Get doidge off and boyle on ffs

[McHibby]

Hibs’ MOTM is the post

😂😂

[GreenCastle]

Get doidge off and boyle on ffs

Wouldn’t risk Boyle.

Game is over.

[cabbageandribs1875]

away and stfu sutton 'he has a bit of history' welt

[Smartie]

What a moment James has chosen to pull a Kujabi out the bag.

He needs sent off to put him out his misery.

At the moment he’s cruising towards the worst ever performance from a Hibs player at Hampden.

Vela was in contention but has been spared.

[SHODAN]

Hanlon with a header on target from a free kick. Quite a week one though.

Hopefully he puts in a month one next time. :wink:

[Beefster]

Mind that one game Horgan played well a while back. What a time to be alive that was.

[PH91]

Wouldn’t risk Boyle.

Game is over.

Its a cup game and its not over yet.

A flukey goal and 4 celtic red cards and we are back in this.

[Stuart93]

Has hecky been sacked yet?

[Speedway]

Foul on the keeper no?

[HH81]

4-1. Maxwell error

[Sir David Gray]

4--1 Maxwell blunder.

[Hibs Class]

Maxwell drops it for Brown three yards out...4-1

[GreenCastle]

James has been the worst of all of them. Gonny just admit that you were wrong about him.

I actually think Vela and Newell are worse.

James I just don’t think is a full back.

4-1 - they hit post twice.

[emerald green]

What must some of the lads in the development squad think when they see the likes of James and Vela and Doidge getting picked ahead of them?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Jeepers Keeper

[Betty Boop]

Jeezo painful what a state we are in.

[LaMotta]

At last, a reason to get Rocky back between the sticks.

[HFC 0-7]

Foul on the keeper no?

Wasn’t strong enough, but they do get given for the keeper

[madhatter]

If this doesn’t get followed up by a sacking I honestly will be utterly finished with Hibs for a while. We are relegation favourites.

[CloudSquall]

Aye let's go with Maxwell over Israeli international Marciano due to his command of the box :faf:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Lol

[cabbageandribs1875]

maxwell :rolleyes:

[neil7908]

Foul on the keeper no?

Absolutely no chance.

[Hibs Class]

4-2!
