Yeah there is, we're all in the usual away end
Although, I've seen Hearts fans in the Hibs end and it's never really mattered. Different ball game to the men's game

Ach, even so it was a very good turnout for a women's game.
I would say that these sort of things kind of bump any idea that Edinburgh isn't 'a football town' .... irrespective of tickets being free to be getting 8 to 9 thousand turnouts for the women's derby, not to mention near on 8,000 at ER the other week for an under 19s match, shows more than a decent level of enthusiasm IMO

I don’t disagree but the estimates are likely to be well off actual. 5 mins to ko and I don’t think there’s 2000 in here yet.

One of my mates was at the Spartans v Dundee Utd game today and they had a wee bit in their programme about the 'Capital Cup'. Basically saying that they accept Hibs v Hearts will always be the more recognidlsvale rivalry thanks to the history behind it but if said cup included all 3 Edinburgh teams the league table (prior to today's game)would read:
Spartans 7 points +2 goal difference
Hibs 2 points -1 goal difference
Hearts 1 point -1 goal difference
That's really nowhere near good enough from both Hibs and Hearts.
hibby rae
26-02-2023, 07:08 PM
So a few thoughts from today:
- The Capital Cup is a bollocks idea (especially as Spartans aren't a part of it). For me the last two derbies represent 4 points dropped. I didn't care we won the penalty shoot-out last time and means nothing now. I agree with my brother when he says it only serves to make a player feel like ***** for missing, and Shiv looked distraught, for a meaningless corporate cup. The points were what mattered today.
- I think Gibson set the team out right, looked like a we dominated the game and were the far better team, they were left playing balls over the top and trying to get something from a set-piece. However, that's where they scored from. Gibson needs to have a plan for dealing with set-pieces at that point in the game when, as my mate pointed out, they would be landing balls on the keeper. Ultimately, it's up to the coach how a team organises at a set-piece. Even if it was bollocks ref decision for a free kick that led to the corner.
- Haaland is a drop in quality from Gabby English. Intent on always punching, which is fine if she has a punch that clears it from the danger area, but she doesn't.
- Hearts were lucky before the KO. Smally, Thomas, and Parry, being out, was a massive hinderence (not a slight to Leishman she was solid but didn't get forwards as much and we were lop-sided, but she hasn't has much game time this season but worked her socks off), and if we had any of them available I think we would have won.
- Hearts are well-coached, better coached than us, but as described on a View from the Terrace on Friday as being well disciplined and hard to break down is just a nice way of saying boring. For them to make 4 changes, and us none, even with a bare bones squad was very bad game management.
- I know the home team always gets POTM, but it was clearly Katie Lockwood. Looks like a really clever player and we've done well to get her.

The thing is, so do we.
Livingstone and Adams are still really young, even Micky and Eddie etc. aren't that old. Plus we have the experience, and some pretty good signings from elsewhere. Although I don't think we're getting the best out of the latter for the most part, which again is a coaching issue.
There's defo players I'd pinch from them if it was possible, but them planning to got FT next season probs negates that. Which make sit more pressing that the leadership is right next season.
They discussed Pedro Losa on AVFTT on Friday and asked the question why hasn't there been more criticism, and the same applies to Hibs women in my book, and they wondered if people are being too nice in their judgement of expectations.

Thought Hibs keeper Haaland looked really poor.
Not flexible or reflexive enough for a keeper. Unnecessary punching of the ball.
When clearly injured and limping, the coach should have subbed her for the pens.
Generally I thought Hibs ran the midfield for 65 out of the 90 mins.
Good atmosphere and decent crowd. Both sets of fans sitting together in many areas. How it should be.
Watching woman’s football and the vibe generally is bringing something a bit fresh to the game.

She was cramping up with about 15 mins to go, but I still thought she needed to stay on. Was brilliant as a roving 10, great touch, rwally good at holding the ball, and very good with it at her feet. I think it has been a real coup signing her

Totally agree with the Spartans POV .... can't call it 'the capital cup' without them being included, especially in the context of women's football.
As for the game itself .... It was agreed that Hibs were significantly weakened by injuries and the lack of even a full subs bench bore that out. It has to be said after all the pre match hype over Hearts that our ladies performed extremely well, so much so we dominated the first half and in spite of their continental coaches talk about passing football in the pre match preamble the second half tactic seemed to be lump the ball up in the air into the box no matter where you are on the park ..... The Hibs lassies fought their hearts out and a draw was a great result which could have been better with a bit more quality in the final third. Who cares about the pens, always a lottery.

They should just play the cup over a break weekend. Get all 3 of them into a stadium and play a round robin of 60 min games. Attaching a cup to every Hibs v Hearts game is just daft. But it was clearly part of the sponsorship setup which also allows all the free tickets.

Assume this would be a friendly competition idea as you can’t have league games of 60 mins !!
Hearts were awful 1st half yesterday- Hibs fine but not exactly that fluid. The finish for the goal was the main bit of decent quality but the rest all pretty average.
Watched the Celtic v Rangers game and was impressed how slick Celtic were.
Hibs recruitment and style of play is hard to understand. I used to enjoy watching Hibs women play years ago but now its hard to see what they are trying to do. I don’t think Hearts look well coached but they have a better structure with worse players.
There always seems to be post match excuses from Hibs but at the end of the day the coaching staff and players (the back line especially) need refreshed if they want to progress.

The penalty shoot out is a nonsense and devalues the game.

I don’t understand why Hibs didn’t have any young players on bench? Haven’t seen any youth players promoted during the season.

Can't disagree, but I think some have the talent and could be real assets, but aren't kicking or maybe aren't getting the coaching needed. Nor would fit into that category, her physique and pace should make a real threat but Gibson doesn't use her much and maybe she's not getting the direction she needs from the coaching staff.
Yesterday was mad, 4 outfield players on the bench, all signed or re-signed this season and not one of them used.

That's nuts that they were even included if that is the case. And we have at least another 5 also injured.
Although I have no idea what is up with Thomas as the club hasn't communicated anything regarding her, and they must know the extent of Smally's injury by now but I also haven't heard any more on that one.

The team will scrape into the top 6 as they should beat Hamilton but will lose to Celtic who have found form.
Wonder what the excuses will be following tonight’s 0v0. Injures again or simply poor management. Watched it online and really struggled at times to see what they are trying to do. Will feel like a win for Aberdeen midweek away from home.

Much better today but been undone by inconsistency, lost goals we shouldn't have, lost games we shouldn't have.
Still that looks like a good win for City against one of the uglies.
Part time Plastic Whistle breathing down the neck of full time Hibs if we as expected lose our last pre split fixture to Celtic and Partick beat Dundee Utd in theirs.

A horrendous goalkeeping error for one Celtic goal. Hibs keeper Haaland jumped but barely got off the ground, seemed to shrink and the ball went over her head.
Hibs into the top 6 split just ahead of 2 part time teams 2 points ahead of Motherwell and 1 ahead of Partick Thistle. Injuries to some of our better players appear to have hurt us.

Yep, hesitated when going and then was in the wrong shape to jump. Was terrible timing given we'd come close to scoring 3 times in as many mins just before, including a Celtic keeper error worse than Haaland's.

Leah Eddie would be most likely but Losa's all over the place with squad picks and is not great for any consistency in bringing younger players in and giving them a chance. Michaela McAlonie should, but will probs be overlooked again. If fit, Rachael Boyle might have been in with a shout.
So, short answer, probably not!
Although last squad had about 7 ex-Hibs players featuring.

Set pieces have been our achilles heel this season. Can't just blame the keeper, there was no co-ordination across the team on how to defend the corner, i.e. who was gonna commit to the clearance, they got in each other's way.
On the other hand, Haaland actually had a great game overall, made some class reaction saves with strong hands and read the game well. A better performance from the team than we've had in weeks, if we can play like that AND actually take some chances (don't know why Tweedie never came on...) we might actually have a chance in the Quarter Final against The Rangers on Sunday. If you don't know, the club's running a bus to that one.

Not just blaming her, but if she makes a move to come for it, then she needs to commit to it or stay on the line to begin with. She put herself in a position where she couldn't react.
I agree about set pieces, but that for me comes down to the coaching.
I'd like to know what the story is with Crystal Thomas as I rate her and she offers something the others don't, I assume she's injured but there has been zero comms from the club to that effect, and they've made announcements about other injuries.

Hibernian Women are preparing for a third outing with Rangers this season as we travel to Cumbernauld on Sunday. The Scottish Cup Quarter-Final kicks off at 4pm at Broadwood Stadium.
The club are delighted to be providing the option for supporters to purchase a seat on our supporters bus, departing Easter Road Stadium on Sunday 19 March at 2pm.
Priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions (Under 16 / Over 65) this provides an opportunity for supporters to cheer on Hibs Women as they face Rangers in a massive Scottish Cup tie.

If you compare with Hearts this season, they are well coached (with the caveat that they are also quite dull to watch), we've scored more but conceded more too.
A good coach could make a difference in this league, for example I think the main criteria for the Rangers coach had to be someone who is staunch.
I've heard Gibson isn't the most popular with the squad.

Yeah same here. Won't go into details as I wouldn't throw the people who have told me things under the bus, but by all accounts there's quite a few he seems to have treated pretty appalingly.

In fairness, it's very easy for the EPL sides to subsidise their womens teams salaries / ticket prices
Think Hibs Women should target say 500 regular attendees - at whatever price point allows that - and look to grow naturally from there

You won’t get 500 people at a tenner. Not a chance. Needs to be almost zero and make money from concession stands etc. I realise that’s difficult now as I don’t think we get the money for that anymore? Under 16s need to be free of charge.

Without much insight into woman’s football in Scotland, surely the move towards full professional outfits is bad for the game? The funding of the erse cheek woman’s team has shifted the balance and the scores show how uncompetitive it has all become.
Given the challenges of funding and lack of commitment from supporters of the woman’s game to pay a tenner to watch them, it seems likely the OF will continue to hoover up the talent and routinely take the European places.

The scores have always been like that tbh. Just that Hibs used to be one of the top dogs. I don’t think professional football for women in Scotland is sustainable at the moment. But in a recent interview i noticed Dean mentioned it was a sustainable model they had. I can only assume that’s all from sponsorship? SWPL wanted to enforce £12 a ticket for all games. The people that run the SWPL need to wake up to reality.

The obvious observation is that unless tickets are free very few supporters will attend Hibs womens games.
When I watch Hibs Women on YouTube it sounds like there are no more than 200 folk at our home games.
Of those folk at least half attendees will be family and friends of the players from both teams along with their kids so very few folk without direct connections appear to be attending.

My bro was chatting to a coach at St Johnstone, and a player as well (I think).
They said the Huns have out £2.5m into their team, and in 5 years time they Glasgow City will be at a Spartans level, claim they have sustainability issues.
Surprising about the number of tickers sold. There were probs at least 1000 at ER last season for the paid game against Partick. Wonder if it being a Saturday night is an issue, given the more family-orientation the women's game has.

They want to improve the product and image etc but at same time teams like Hibs and others probably suffer more as Rangers and Celtic spend more money than the rest - amounts Hibs and Hearts will never match. Double edged sword.

We seem pretty decent at the back and pose a goal threat up front, but we are weak in midfield. We were constantly getting over-run in the middle of the park where Hearts had far more energy.

I've got a feeling it still won't break the domestic record, I think there is more engagement from the Huns than Celtic in general at games but then again the bigotry factor is unknown, so will they take it as an opportunity to drag the women's game down?

Unless its cheap tickets it won't be more than a few thousand. Really cheap family tickets is the only way to grow the game in Scotland. You can't have Chelsea / Arsenal UWCL tickets being cheaper than a League game is Scotland - its just daft. 800 claimed at the Hibs / Hearts game - more than 500 of them give away tickets. But the issue with Hibs is the concession stands / kiosks no longer belong to the club so they can't even make money from that.
Dundee Utd game last week was £5 entry. That's the figure. a fiver and kids for free.

seriously the 3rd goal was quite possibly the most stupidest goal to concede
between Eddie and Haaland, just awful play
93 mins played and the rangers defender has given away one of the most dumbest penalties ever v hearts 1-1 FT
only watched most of the 2nd half and i think that's the first time hearts have actually been near rangers penalty box

Glad Glasgow City won to keep their noses ahead of Celtic but fear they are dying on their feet.
Hearts did them a favour drawing with Rangers at the weekend.
A draw in the OF derby tomorrow night would give them a 4 point lead over Celtic.
They still have both to play again and having lost to both recently they need as big a lead as possible going into those games. Would love them to put off the inevitable for another season.

Rangers beating Celtic tonight leaves Glasgow City with a 5 point lead over both with 4 games to play.
However, those 4 games include away games for Glasgow City against both OF sides both of whom inflicted home defeats on City in April. City also have a poorer goal difference than both so I reckon they need to win one of those two big games or draw both to win the title.
My calculation is based on the premise that it is highly likely all 3 sides will win all their remaining games against the lesser teams so Celtic and Rangers have 9 easy points to pick up in their 4 remaining games and Glasgow City only 6.
That in itself reduces the Glasgow City advantage to only 2 points in real terms. It's gonna be tight.

I don't think it would have mattered what Hibs did other than if they had poured money into the Women's team and given there are still few paying customers it would be an expensive loss leader.
The top 3 clubs in Scotland are fully professional and well ahead of the rest. Hibs and Hearts have a hybrid model of full time and part time players. Had Hibs reacted sooner, as you say, then they would probably still be slightly ahead of Hearts although injuries to key players have hampered us badly this season and I think we will be back to challenging them for 4th next season. Aberdeen are probably the club that need to improve their team most given their standing in the mens game.
Pound for pound I think Brian Graham is doing the best managerial job in the league at Partick Thistle and would be a good replacement for Gibson when the time comes.

Aberdeen will always struggle simply due to not being in the central belt. They have much less talent to choose from and even less chance of getting older talent in from other teams. Their team is very young right now a a few more key players are leaving this season. They are doing well to stay up.

When you say women's sport 'was' booming. Do you have any figures for Hibs women's team that merited significantly greater investment than was actually made at the time? Was there money available to invest in the women's side and we refused to do use it? Or were/are we simply living within our means?

Not specifically for Hibs but I have went from photographing Women's rugby with family and friends supporting to crowds of 1000s at the Dam Health. There is growth in top level women's sport and that will start dropping down to clubs at some point. Football isn't all about money and for me the community and representing everyone in it is what I want Hibs to achieve. That is best achieved with successful teams that everyone can enjoy and aspire to.
I was pretty caveman towards women's sport 5 years ago. That has changed as I can see how quickly the quality of play has improved. Opportunity is what has held women's sport back and for me I think a successful women's team would be good for the club and may bring in more supporters to the men's game too. I don't view it as a financial transaction though but acknowledge money will always play a part. I'm going to try and get along to Meadowbank more often next year. I need to start practicing what I preach more often

Meadowbank is an awful stadium for watching football now. Watched 5 or 6 games there and the match day experience is awful. 3 or 4 rows of seats with a barrier in the way. Feel sorry for any club trying too build a fan base around that. Ideally they could go back to sharing with Spartans but not sure if that bridge is burnt.

I think one of the things that men need to get there heads round about the finance given to woman's football is that it will ultimately bring more supporters to watch the mens teams as more females become interested in football.
The number of male supporters attending professional games remains pretty constant but there is massive scope for increasing the number of females who attend games and their attendance will in turn bring greater revenue into clubs. Clubs realise this and for that reason are now embracing the female game more than ever before.

Most rangers games get a couple of hundred. It’s only the big games that get a few more. Hibs / Hearts / Spartans don’t not normally have much more than 100

A situation with 3 teams fighting for the title with weeks to go is refreshing. And certainly better than anything we get in the mens game.
There is no reason City can’t continue to press the other two. They strengthened last season after losing out to Rangers and are clearly a well run club. There is only so much investment Rangers / Celtic can make that will make a difference. They are never going to offer the wages that the top world players are now getting, and the current salaries aren’t light years away from what Hibs are paying. 20k v 30k.
Unlike the mens game I’ve no real issue with who wins the league and these teams for me don’t have the same back story and tribalism that the men’s team do. (despite some people trying to recreate that). All that matters is the product improves and we get more fans. What the top 3 are doing will only help that to happen.

The lack of a massive difference in wages is a reason why I think getting the right coach in could make a big difference, don't particulary think Malky Thomson is a master of the art for example, just ok bit staunch and better players. Hearts is an example of a good coach improving the squad and their performances, although boring so don't want that exactly!

The ultras is an odd one. It appears it’s only the clubs that want to pull in that type of support. Mainly to raise the atmosphere. But they’d have to be deaf to realise it’s not family friendly chants. Plenty Up the Ra chants at that game last night.

Good i thought he was hopeless.
I’ve got no doubt he did his best though.
His time more or less coincided with the ugly sisters pumping in cash and even Hearts increasing their budget.
Hibs were no longer the destination of choice for many players, and will probably be unable to crack into the top 3 now.

Important bit of context. Not everyone is a Mourinho and the guy will have sacrificed a lot of his spare time to do the role. We have also lost loads of good players i think. Should be thanked for that

I think I took in between 12 and 15 women's games this year and I always thought we looked less tactically aware and under coached compared to other sides of a comparable level. You expect it against the 3 Glasgow sides but against Hearts and even the likes of Spartans we never really seemed to have a coherent identity whilst they looked comfortable in what they were doing. Obviously the injuries played a part in that but it's not a complete excuse. I'm a big critic of over coaching too but there has to be a balance.
The fact this has been on the agenda since Christmas time speaks volumes really. A hard decision as DG seems a decent guy who gave it his all but women's football is kicking on again and we need to make the right decisions even if they are tough ones.

One of the major things that has to happen on the womens side is fixing the academy. Its been a shambles for years now and a revolving door when it comes to Academy Mgrs. I believe the new appt has a kid in the academy so that should at least ensure some continuity. Hibs have been guilty of just assuming kids would come to Hibs in the past and unfortunately that's not been happening and the best youth products have been going to the other clubs in the east (or worse going to teams over in the west). Hearts again unfortunately have stolen a march on Hibs in this area.
Finding a constant training base is important. Ensuring the best players are promoted through the youth sections, and then ensuring there is a pathway to the first team is vital for a sustainable model. Hibs cannot keep buying in foreign players. Especially ones that clearly arent good enough for this level. Although I keep hearing the current model is sustainable? Would be good to understand that model.
There are plenty young players out there that are not quite getting full games at their parent clubs. That's the players we need to be going for.

This season we've seen the impact of that, a younger Hearts team, and an inability on our part to even put out a full match day squad for months

A change of manager should improve the team but they won't gain more than 1 league place until Glasgow City are inevitably blown away by the OF and float down towards us.

Probably, but a better coach in the League Cup final would also have given us a fighting chance this season.

No reason for City to float down. If you can raise a couple of 100k in Scotland you can run a professional outfit giving you a chance against any team in Scotland. The Old Firm investment is being massively over blown. City are top this year on merit and that's after a couple of years of investment in the old firm teams.

The OF have only just begun.
They will keep raising their budget until they blow City away.

TBF that's just an assumption. There is not much profit in it for the Old Firm at the moment. They would need to invest 7 figures to start even making a dent in the UWCL or other games on the International stage. They are only getting a couple of hundred fans so they aren't going to just chuck money at it. I honestly don't think we will see much bigger investment at the moment.

Yeh I know. Im talking normal attendances. These games where we boost attendances are fantastic for the womens game but unless they start playing at these grounds every week and doing the give-aways on tickets, they aren't getting about the couple of hundred number - in fact you'd be lucky if there was a hundred at most games last week. No one is fighting for a seat at Meadowbank no matter who they play.

Grant Scott was at a recent game but he flitted about a fair bit in recent years. The obv one will be Joelle but a risk going for someone with no experience. I think this appointment will be a good temperature gauge for how serious they are going to take the women’s team for the next few years.
Supposedly Grant Scott will be the new manager. Seems odd the guy has been to so many clubs and keeps moving about.

Good source?
Iirc, Brightside may be able to confirm or correct, he left before because he was exasperated at the failure to build the team?

Decent choice imo. Be interesting to see what he can do with a budget and hopefully he will stay in the role long enough to have an impact. When he left last time the claim was he wanted more time at home. Then he joined Glasgow City! 😂

The truth is the SWPL is still the one man and his dug league that no one attends unless they get free tickets.
Almost all the money for it comes from sponsorship and grants.
They would be better getting a decent crowd in to watch by charging a couple of quid a skull. Bigger crowds would also make the sponsors happier.

Probably true, but I would expect us to get a decent crowd against Glasgow City .... who wouldn't pay to watch a team with the magnificently named 'Priscila Chinchilla' in it :greengrin

His previous Hibs team was really fun to watch, helps when you had players like Jamie-Lee Napier of course, quick and direct. I fondly remember an 8-0 win against the Huns

Seen that on the telly. When final whistle goes Celtic players think they've won the league, they were basing that on the fans reaction to Rangers scoring which was chalked off.
How often will you see either half of Old firm celebrating the other scoring.

Yup .. no happy tae just screw up the men's game, gonna use their resources tae make the women's game a two horse borefest as well. Wonder how long it will be until they have their noses pressed up against the windae of the English women's super league begging to get in there as well.

Rangers have lost two of their best players. Sam Kerr is away to Bayern. Emma Watson going down to Man U. Hibs have signed Mya Christie from Aberdeen - she's a decent young player who can play wingback or winger (18yo)
