Hibs Women

[Brightside]

We were unlucky with injuries this competition, much like the men's team, if we lose our best players to injury then there is a big drop. In saying that, I'm still not convinced by Losa at all and extending his contract to 2027 when he's not achieved anything yet (not qualifying for the WC was a massive failure) is madness.

At least he’s finally starting to get some fresh blood in. Goalkeeper is an upgrade. A few others still to be removed from the squad. Corsie, evans are long past it.

Yeah the key area is the back, I'd add Docherty and McLauchlan to the list as areas needing improved upon.

He seems to suffer from the same problem Kerr did, when we are the team with the ball we struggle to create decent chances and put them away. It cost us the Euros under Kerr and then it cost us the WC under Losa. No real plan B.

Spartans manager "steps down" to concentrate on her new role as CEO of Spartans community. Will be interesting to see who applies for the job.

[Brightside]

Scotland v England will be on BBC and iplayer for anyone wanting to see Scotland getting battered. It’s an awful starting 11 that’s been chosen.

[Since90+2]

Scotland have a few decent players but the drop down in level to some of the others is massive.

Particularly defensively the players are absolutely miles off the standard to compete at the top level.

Erin Cuthbert is also clearly nowhere near fit.

[Brightside]

Some of these players should be nowhere near the squad never mind the starting 11.

[cabbageandribs1875]

our keeper pulled her arms away from the ball


meanwhile in the Netherlands they're screaming "fix"

[chasitup]

Scotland are utterly honking. Offer next to nothing going forward. Not sure what Emslie offers other than running. Gibson is a dreadful goalkeeper, and the defence is brutal.

[hibby rae]

Stroke of genius giving Losa an extension until 2027

[Brightside]

It wasn’t docherty. Emma mukardju (sp). She is awful. We’ve taken Maciver the English keeper - yet still play Gibson. Makes no sense. Also playing the games at Hampden is just stupid. A big empty stadium.

The decision to play at Hampden all the time is mental, I know the players wanted it but I personally think the national team should be as accessible to as many people as possible, and that means different stadiums. Especially as the women's games are nearly always a week day evening.

Absolutely. ER has been good for a couple of Scotland women's games we've been to and if you're looking for a capacity crowd then St Johnstone is ideal.

Hampden is rank full stop.

Had tonight's game been at ER or Tynecastle I would have taken the bairn. No way an I travelling through to Glasgow for midweek games with a 6 year old though.

Take the team round the country and grow the fanbase. Totally different if it wasn't possible to accommodate the crowds in Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen or Inverness but that isn't the case right now.

Only weir (injured) would be a starter for a UK team. Cuthbert would probably get in the sways just to make up numbers from different countries. We don’t have anyone else near the level required right now.

15k there tonight which is quite good, tho I didn't think it looked that many as the crowd is lost at Hampden.

15k would pretty much fill Tynecastle.

Aargh, that's a shame. We got tickets in the ballot for the football at London 2012 and it was really enjoyable. Would have been good to see a GB team at the next Olympics.

England really only have themselves to blame for some stuttering early group performances. They're the best side in the group and should have won it.

Must be some questions being asked about the way ahead for Scotland after that tho.

The Dutch girl that scored the winner is Meads girlfriend. That’s not going to be a happy household 😂

It's a pity for the women's game. The Olympics is a much bigger deal than it is for the men and it would have been good to maintain the momentum built up in recent years.

Hibs Women are 6th in the table after todays results.
However, they have a good chance to go into the shutdown ahead of their rivals for 4th if they can beat Aberdeen next weekend before their rivals Partick Thistle and Hearts probably lose to Glasgow City and Celtic.

[Malthibby]

Fourth is feasible & what we should be looking for.
The Uglies (men & women) have substantially outspent everyone else & are becoming untouchable, sad but true.
GC held on & all credit to them for winning what I suspect is their last league championship. They are slipping off
the pace of The Rantic but are currently still better than the rest; they should be our next target.

Hibs currently top of the also rans and improving under Grant Scott.
A note of caution is we still have to play Rantic in our remaining 6 second round of fixtures.

Again an embarrassing result for the league with 7th place Aberdeen losing by 7 goals at home to the team in 4th. There is a chasm between 3rd and 4th, 6th and 7th and 11th and 12th

4 leagues within the league as could have been predicted before the season started and I still think it should be a 10 team league given the real fall off in quality at the very bottom. Sadly Spartans now down among the dross.

I see Queens Park are running away with SWPL2. Think they will have a little bit of money behind them which will enable to keep away from the relegation places in the top tier once promoted. Could be a good addition in August.

Hibernation for a month now with the next league games on the 14th January 2024.

Yeah, two leagues of 10 would make more sense at this time.
There are 5 well funded teams in the SWPL at the moment and Partick Thistle are somehow managing to keep up with Hibs and Hearts.
Aberdeen will throw more money at it soon which will see them join the same batch but below that the standard is pretty grim.
Perhaps Dundee Utd are another club that will put a bit more money behind their womens team in the next few years as well.
SWPL2 outside of Queens Park looks a wasteland but the womens game in Scotland is improving every season.

[hibby rae]

No chance of them making the league smaller any time soon, it was only expanded about 3 years ago. Hearts avoided relegation because of it.

She's a great role model for girls/women's football.

Depends what the voting public think I guess but IMHO Earps is a good winner in respect of the impact it has on her sport.

The coach of my daughter's team somehow managed to get hold of a Nike Earps shirt and gave it to the team's keeper. It's going to take her a while to grow into but you can see she feels like a better player just by wearing it. These kind of things can be the difference between kids sticking with a sport or not.

Just my view.

How is a woman footballer winning it 'woke'? There have been many women winners down the years (pretty sure Liz McColgan was one of them) long before the term 'woke' entered our vocabulary.

Just my view.

Nike being forced by public demand into selling Earps tops might inspire the next generation of girls wanting to play football to work hard to become a part of a local team and in time aspire to international level.

In terms of crowds, media coverage, and more the women’s game is coming on at an incredible rate. Mary Earps is a great choice to win it

I'm guessing the fact it's an England player who won that's causing some of the disquiet.

Obviously Scotland are a long way off the pace but Sandy MacIver's a promising keeper and her decision to switch to Scotland despite being capped by England can only be good for our future prospects.

Overall tho, it's heartening that the women's game isn't beset by similar tribalism to the men's and that Earps can inspire young players from all nations.

Aberdeen can throw an extra few quid at it and take the place of Partick in the 6.

Before you know it the league will all but mirror the mens league and that will be it forever.

Lots of close games at the weekend, NOT.

Aberdeen have no interest in chucking money at it. It’s going to be a clear top 2 and then 3 playing for 3rd from next season. Bit the bottom 4/5 are really regressing.

Aberdeen have have only been going for 4 years in their present form and only been semi pro for a season and a half. They have 7 semi pro players this season and a full time manager. I can see them increasing that number and improving every season.

As for Glasgow City, I presume they will stay ahead of Hibs and Hearts until Mrs Hearts benefactor turns the money tap off. As it stands a draw with Hearts is their only bloody nose this season outside of games against the OF clubs so they are still well ahead of the rest at this time. Impressively, Hearts also managed a draw against Celtic.

Semi pro at Aberdeen is £150 a month btw. Its just words.

Why do we need semi professional and full professional players in the woman's game in Scotland?

I understand the need to promote woman's football and encourage involvement and identification with the club, but it's still costing money and deep down, does anyone really cares that much, apart from the women really?

It seems like there is a drive to try and create a marketable "product". That may well work in England, but up here, are people that interested?

We don't tbh. Its just lip service. There are about 5 teams that can afford "Pro"contracts, and thats only due to funding and sponsors. But if / when it does take off you don't want to be the team who has ignored it and missed the boat.

It’s a very good question, and should be up for debate without people taking your point the wrong way.

My daughter plays under 14, is a fairly promising player and loves the game, and while we have been to quite a few women’s games over the years, she has said to me that she much prefers going to men’s games. Think she felt a bit bad admitting that.

I do hope the womens game will grow in Scotland, hopefully for the benefit of girls around my daughter’s age. I think it can with a surge in girls playing in the last few years creating new interest.

Why would people in Scotland be any less interested in a successful women's football product? The way the game has exploded there is remarkable. Wembley sells out for internationals and the bigger clubs can attract attendances which dwarf many men's games. It's not perfect by any means, but there's clearly an appetite for it when the product's right and we have an ever-growing number of girls playing the game in Scotland. There's scope for a more family-friendly experience and personally, I've enjoyed the women's games I've been to with my daughter (and occasionally one of my sons) more than men's games in recent years. If, for example, ER was hosting a men's game one week and a strong quality women's game the next I think that would be a great thing for building stronger, sustained support for the club.

England has teams that are associated with global brands and has more than x10 our population. There has also been a big marketing drive in order to create a more commercially viable product (hence the big attendances)? I don't think you can really compare the state of the game there with here.

Successful "product" in a Scottish context is a moot point, the woman's game up here is hardly competitive, look at Hibs gubbing St Johnstone in a recent cup match. What are the average attendances at Hibs woman games?

As for our women playing at ER. No thanks, the pitch is a valuable asset and should be the preserve of the men's team. Maybe with leeway for our 18's when playing big European games etc. Do our woman's teams currently generate enough interest to bother opening up ER ?

I'm glad you enjoy watching the women. It's not for me, but I'm all for promoting female participation and encouraging them to identify with the club.

I agree you can't compare the state of the game in England to that in Scotland, but with so little attempt to market the women's game here there's little hope of assessing how popular it could be. Attendances at Meadowbank are paltry, but they've opened up ER and Tynecastle for recent derbies and the occasional Hibs women's European ties. Many of the tickets for these games are given away free but there were 8.5k in attendance at a derby last season and from memory 3 or 4k for the European games.

If it was clear that football fans in Scotland were overwhelmingly of the 'nah, not for me, why bother?' view with regard to women's football then sure, it should remain little more than a niche segment of the game, but when the water's barely been tested I find it unlikely we would be somehow different to countries where the women's game is embraced seriously.

Hard to argue our men's top flight is competitive either when only two sides can win it.

Im not sure they can market it any more than they do tbh. The socials are constant but the engagement is limited. The attendance still isn't close to being sustainable so they need to find another way to grow the brand and start making it "profitable"

I noticed CCM in OZ are running the women's games before / after the men. If we can get to the stage were we have pitches in Scotland that can handle that then its the only way to go. Otherwise they are going to struggle to break the 200+ attendance for regular games.

Not a bad idea. As you say the pitch would need to be able to handle it, but if all games were included in a season ticket package it would a good family-friendly initiative.

Hibs down to 10, Eddie sent off. Definitely a 2nd yellow though I'm not sure what her first card was for. She should have been pulled up for giving away a penalty earlier so all in all a poor half hour for her.

[The Hibee Harp]

We got exactly what we deserved today. Second best all over the park and very few would get pass marks. Yet again, Thistle prove to be a bit of a bogey team for us. I felt we got sucked into a battle which suited Thistle better and Eddie’s foolish red card killed us. We need to get over this result and performance quickly.

[Eyrie]

Even before the red card we were poor so no complaints about the result.

And that should have been a penalty for Thistle in the first half.

Partick are a good team, everyone has off days. It's a new team with a lot of young players. By no means the finished article.

Watching the performances it's night and day to last season, it shows there's a coach who actually hasa plan when the team is on the pitch rather than just picking a starting 11 and not doing much more

Appreciate a lot of the attention with the Foley / Black Knight investment will be on the Mens senior team , but has there been any chat as to how it will benefit Hibs Women.

With the womens game growing at a rate of knots , I can see the same logic where a reasonable level of investment will make a significant difference to the league position of the team and be a good return for Hibs

Well we might not have been top 3 but we would have been closer to it.

Compare the last cup victory against City, we won 2-1 but it was a backs against the wall win where we took oit chances. Today sounds more like we went toe to toe.

Took my daughter today and I had more enjoyment in 120 odd minutes watching that than I have in the last few months watching the men.

A cohesive plan, fully committed squad, and a willingness to play the game with pace, intent and on the front foot.

A thoroughly deserved victory and well worth the £12 it cost me for us both.

Also, all the women are absolutely fabulous with the kids in the crowd. They're a credit to the club.

The womens team are leading the way in many aspects at the moment, I'd much rather take my daughters along to watch them where they can be inspired.

Your last point is a big one for me, nothing is ever too much for them, always willing to take photos, sign autographs, chat to fans even after losses. A real credit to the club.

[PHeffernan]

A wonderful result. Punching up.
A successful season now if they can hold onto 4th in the league and the Scottish Cup will take care of itself.

P.S. It was almost impossible to readily find even a score update of the tie of the round today. It was like it wasn't taking place.

Hibs should put a little more in the pot for next season with a view to moving towards Glasgow City as they inevitably begin to fall down towards Hibs and Hearts.

[Malonga's Cat]

Wasn't there today but a cracking result.
Totally agree with previous posts about the women's team being a credit to the club. Cheap football watching a well put together team who play football with pace and intent to score as many as they can. Add in that they are brilliant with the fans, really makes for a good experience for my little ones.

My only gripe is the new Meadowbank as a ground... deary me. It's awful.

[cabbageandribs1875]

completely forgot todays game :grr:great result and i hope the women are rewarded with an "easier" tie in next round, though it was the cup today i read in an article yesterday that we haven't beaten Glasgow City in a league game since 2007 :shocked:not sure if i didn't read it correctly, or a misprint, but that's quite astonishing

My pal's daughter is football, and Hibs, daft. She's pretty decent as well and now plays for the U-14s.

Joelle Murray has always been her hero and a wee while ago, maybe a couple seasons back, she messaged Joelle on IG. My pal tells me he got a message from Joelle asking if it would be ok to reply to her, and she has since got to know them quite well, to the extent when she had had a tough time at school Joelle spoke to her to make sure she was ok.

Another occasion they were chatting to Mickey at Easter Road during one of the men's games and my pal needed the toilet, so Mickey volunteered to watch his daughter while he did so. A lot the team know her well, and make a point of speaking to her.

Sunday 10 March

2 home ties against The Rangers on the same day! 😊

[Pretty Boy]

Not Hibs related but WTF is it with this pair?

Not content with having ruined mens football in Scotland they are now setting their site on the women's game. Cretins.

There was nothing surer than that these bunch of bigots would ruin what was a friendly family focused competition and ruin it.

Scottish football still in the dark ages, as far as these 2 groups are concerned



Honestly can’t imagine living life with such deep hatred for another group of people

They are getting worse instead of better. It’s a pity they got involved in the women’s game at all, the baggage they both carry far outweighs any positives they bring.

This was inevitable with them, seen what they get like when it's youth team derbies in the past as well.

I will add though, many of us here were at the derby at Easter Road a year or two ago where there was a significant amount of young team who rocked up thinking they could treat it like any other game. Quite a bit unsavoury chanting and bother afterwards. Fortunately, it appeared to be a one-off as I haven't seen any of those things repeated since.

I've just read that on the BBC Scotland website, I find it pretty embarrassing actually. I had hoped that the women's game would be free from this nonsense

Fair enough..:greengrin

[LewysGot2]

Not directly the Hibs women's team but it was brilliant today to see Rachel Boyle and the eldest child at the front of the stand with the Hibs fans. Wee one got to see Daddy's dive celebrations at close quarters 👍😀

[cabbageandribs1875]

big challenge tomorrow away to Partick Thistle, hopefully a far better display than the one a few weeks back in the sup game

hearts should beat Montrose at home

it's really not great viewing seeing those same two sides at the top like with the men

The youth and the womens game doesn't have the money required to pay for Policing large numbers of ********s.
It is sad but not surprising that the idiots who support large clubs want to take an opportunity to extend the reach of their cretinous behaviour to areas were it is even less appropriate.

[He's here!]

Held to a 1-1 draw at Partick. Late equaliser from Thistle. We seem to find it hard against them.

[cabbageandribs1875]

FT Partick 1 Hibernian 1, partick OG for hibs in the first half

so three games against Partick Thistle this season and the hibs women haven't managed to score against them

Baucom had two great chances in the 1st half, and eilidh adams not taking a good chance near the end

When it comes to extending their behaviour to inappropriate areas I see the cretinous Green Brigade have pretty much forced Abada out of the club because he happens to be Israeli. What does this have to do with football?

BBC article said "He has faced pressure in his home country because of support for Palestinians among some Celtic fans"

You'll get no argument from me the green brigade but you might also want to mention the crap he's getting from home.

Aberdeen win 4-3 against Dundee United after being 1-3 down at HT

Fair enough, I only heard Rodgers' interview on it and the focus there was the continued presence of Palestinian flags among the Green Brigade.

The point is that this kind of thing wouldn't happen at another club eg if Rocky had still been our keeper.

I think the poor guy will be getting big grief from home given the media reporting on the naive dafties in the Celtic support. These political insophisticates have clumsily made a 21 years old player at their club into a political football.

Held to a 1-1 draw at Partick. Late equaliser from Thistle. We seem to find it hard against them.

Hibs had the better of the first half but Thistle much the better side in the second.

Thistle employed a high press that Hibs couldn't escape from and it was really just a matter of time before they equalised.

Thistle seem a really good side considering their inferior budget.

Brian McDermott sat alongside me the whole game, discussing quite a bit about the club, and he was an absolute gentleman throughout.

Todays result leaves Hibs Women bottom placed of the 5 professional teams with part timers Partick Thistle only a point behind

The top 3 are unfortunately never being caught, behind hearts on GD. I'm sure it'll be close between those 2 and Partick for the rest of the season.

[cabbageandribs1875]

hearts should increase their lead over us in two weeks time when they play Dundee United away and we are at home to Rangers with Partick Thistle having a tough fixture at Celtic then the top six split follows, i'm not quite sure what the format is but if it's play each other twice then we will need to beat Hearts both times and fix that hoodoo against Partick Thistle.

They’re trying. They’ve eventually got a grip of the academy over the last year or 2 and separating away from the community side a bit. Teams in the academy were being run in silos with coaches looking after their own interests rather than the club, with noone overseeing the teams/coaches. All change now though so hopefully see some dent in those numbers in the coming years.

Think Hearts coaches are in at Balerno school and involved in the Scotland selection which will help give the benefit of the doubt too.

good to hear, do you know if the Women are moving from Meadowbank to HTC ? where is it the girls sides presently train/play etc if everything is moved to HTC will that be a downside, is it a case that parents find Balerno more accessible/easier for travelling to training than HTC.

[cabbageandribs1875]

21 goals in the first three games so far


Glasgow City 8 Aberdeen 1
Spartans 1 Motherwell 4
Celtic 6 Partick Thistle 1

I was at a wee presentation about the girls academy a few weeks back and the work they have done in the last year is nothing short of phenomenal from the starting point. It might be a few years until we really see the benefit at first team level but there is now a clear distinction between an elite pathway and participation football (both equally important for the women's game but it's a distinction that is needed).

I don’t mate. The girls train at HTC on a Tuesday night and sometimes play games there at weekends with Meadowbank being the other home ground (for the elite side).

I think Hearts have done a good job of getting themselves embedded into Balerno school and then it seems created a pathway to the Scotland squad due to it being the same coaches.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Hibernian v Rangers (16:10)

Hibernian: Wilson, Leishman, Baucom, Eddie, McAlonie, Adams, McGregor, Murray, Doran-Barr, Powell, Lawson
Substitutes: Erhabor, Christie, Hunter, Tweedie, Notley, Bowie, Morrison


Rangers: Fife, Docherty, Hill, Middag, Rowe, Ross, McAulay, Ewens, Cornet, McLoughlin, McLeary
Substitutes: Esson, Hay, Hardy, Arnot, Austin, Martinez

not a bad player to have on the bench

Huge difference over the last year - hopefully continues.

As you say - both levels are important but the distinction between the potential to make first team and those that are playing for enjoyment has to be made.
