Drey Wright comes on and the first time he gets the ball, he runs straight into a player and gives the ball away. :greengrin

[thebakerboy]

Wright comes on loses ball twice and then gives a foul away

[Pretty Boy]

Needed a win. Got a win. Played OK on a crap pitch. Took a couple of chances which has been out biggest problem in recent weeks. Also got a wee bit of the rub of the green with the penalty.

Taking everything into consideration I can't see how we can have too many complaints about that today. Bigger test next time out though.

[SaulGoodman]

Think we can end the Drey Wright experiment.

[Hibs90]

No Nisbet off the bench... interesting

He's just settling into the team, he'll come good eventually. :greengrin

[WhileTheChief..]

Will be surprised if Utd don’t sack manager soon. Fans don’t seem to happy with him.

Agreed. Listening to him, he just doesn’t come across well in any interview I’ve heard.

I don’t see players paying much attention to what he says, he just rambles along with cliches he’s heard on the telly.

[we are hibs]

Perfect result at Livi for us

[badabing67]

No Nisbet off the bench... interesting

Worrying

[Mon Dieu4]

Well done Hibs, Daz man of the match, Cadden and Irvine close behind

[MWHIBBIES]

No Nisbet off the bench... interesting

Speculation aside, no real need for him today. If we can fully rest him, why not?

[Stuart93]

Magennis still showing nothing for me. Been a waste of money

[Curried]

Irvine my MotM. Set up both goals, saved a couple of others in defense, and covered every blade of grass on the pitch.....Superb effort.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Livi 0 Aberdeen 0...both drop points, hopefully another draw for them on tuesday

[Heisenberg]

Full time. Good result to take us out of our slump. Tougher game coming on Tuesday I think.

[SaulGoodman]

Magennis still showing nothing for me. Been a waste of money

Was involved in the second goal

Would probably take a Livi win when they play again on Tuesday. Their manager still unbeaten 😅

FT. Good day's work!

We’re 2-0 up. Why bring him on and risk injury ? Let him have a rest.

FT 0-2 :flag:

[sleeping giant]

Why ? No need to sub the striker.

[GreenCastle]

Really happy with that.

Wasn’t pretty but we got the job done and another away win.

Clean sheet great too!

Same result again on Tuesday at Pittodrie would be fab, aligned to a Celtic loss and a Hibs win. Carlsberg Tuesdays :greengrin:greengrin

[J-C]

Good win and needed, not overly pretty on a sticky pitch but did well. Toss up between Daz and Irvine for MOTM, Daz is that leader on the pitch we've been crying out for and Irvine has the energy in the middle.

[G B Young]

Much needed win. I feared a tailspin after last weekend but today sounded solid enough.

[CmoantheHibs]

Good win and a welcome 3points. Signs of things coming together and the new guys settling in well.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Happy with that, Darren outstanding again, and a lovely finish for his goal.

Impressed with Cadden & Irvine Today

[WhileTheChief..]

A much needed win after a miserable wee spell.

[Hiber-nation]

Not much football played but restricted them to 1 chance. Some excellent performances from Cadden, McGregor, Irvine. Some room for improvement in others, Hanlon's form is still a worry.

Please don't bring Drey Wright on again. Ever.

[Aldo]

Big Daz turning back time. Need to get him rested up for midweek!

[Green Badger]

Good result with the bonus of a clean sheet. Look more solid with McGregor back.

[SaulGoodman]

Also shown that we can win without Nisbet and Porteous :duck:

[Heisenberg]

Jackson Irvine is very good. If we do end up selling anyone I’d go all out to get him a longer contract.

[Wilson]

He’s here for 5 years. He’ll be a very good player for us.

Hope so.

I just felt positive that he got a bit more of a run out today.

[Iggy Pope]

[B.H.F.C]

That was more like the start of the season. No great but better than what we’re playing against. Shows the importance of the first goal in our games.

Thought Cadden was good. Big Daz hopefully going to come out and prove a lot of folk (me included) wrong.

[The Captain....]

Didn't manage to catch the game today but delighted with the result. A clean sheet as well will build a bit confidence.

Another shocker for Celtic..think that will be Lennon away now. Goodwin seems to be doing a decent job at St Mirren.

Don't worry about that, as he thought Boyle should be replaced. Who scored the second Stu? Magennis will come good just needs game time, he did make a wrong decision but to be expected considering he's finding his way back. I have been a critic of JR but Magennis for Murphy was the right first switch to make. A positive for me was Chris Cadden, took some sore ones, made a run from our box to theirs on the right, won a throw in and in the process saw three or four of the opponents of. Just concerned that JR doesn't see that he needs to rest him as much as possible because he put in a massive shift there. I'd give him the next two days off to recover. Two good January signings and everyone knows it. Two challenges on Cadden with studs showing, nothing, body check from Daz, yellow card. The school for idiot refereeing indeed does exist in Scotland.

[Carheenlea]

Irvine my MotM. Set up both goals, saved a couple of others in defense, and covered every blade of grass on the pitch.....Superb effort.

Agreed. Settling in very well and will grow into a fans favourite.

He's absolutely murder. That was an easy chance...


:yawn:

[Steve20]

Good result. Livi and Aberdeen drawing a bonus.

[The Count]

Kayden !!! has been really good the last two games.

[wookie70]

Great result today particularly give the results around us. If we do lose Nisbet I hope we can get someone in quickly or better still another couple of strikers. Daz has been excellent the last two games. We needed a Daz type figure in defence and it shouldn't have been much of a stretch to realise there was one sitting on the bench. Cadden ran himself into the ground and tired later on and Irvine was still making lung busting runs into their half late into the game. It seems odd that the new signings despite a lack of games look our most energetic players. At last we have something to smile about and the board and owner need to make sure if we are selling assets we can get replacements in before the window closes to at least keep the unlikely chance of second alive and make sure we have a shot at 3rd.

[Curried]

Agreed. Settling in very well and will grow into a fans favourite.

I very much hope you're right, but i think Irvine will be tempted away by better money at the end of his loan spell. :-(

Reminds me of when I rolled into a pub in Dublin one Saturday night, pished, with my bagpipes under my arm.

Before I could ask for a pint the barman said "yer nat playin' dose tings in here!"

[Northernhibee]

Slightly off topic but my partner had no real interest in football before we met, but taken her along to a few Hibs games and she's now a proper Hibee (despite a lot of her family being Jambos). She's just been singing "Tony Mowbray and Mark Venus, Craig Levein's a ****ing *****" around the house and I couldn't be prouder :greengrin

[Tambo]

Was a bit sloppy second half but was a great team performance which everyone played well enough not to get singled out.

Cadden was non stop energy which we need and when he gets some more games under his belt hopefully can push on and get in on the assists.

Lovely assist from Irvine for the second and Europe could tempt him to extend beyond the summer.

Big daz again a rock at the back, looking back now he should of maybe played either one of the semis, I dont think hes done as a player but we need some new blood at the back eventually.

Lets hope Ross was just resting Nisbet and hes not off in the next few days.

[CmoantheHibs]

While not flashy - Gogic was very good
Thought he was superb. Picked up so many loose balls, hassled, harried, blocked and won loads of headers. He has even started to look more accomplished technically since being brought back in.

[Hibrandenburg]

At 55, I can remember days where getting a 0-2 win at Tannadice might have prompted me to buy a round. I only caught the 2nd half and there wasn't a lot to shout about, but late January, **** pitch, coming off a bad run and me having a wee bet on a Hibs win it's my shout.

[tamig]

The noise at the Doig handball was something else I tell you.

That was funny. There were a few other episodes where they got a wee bit excited. I’ve been sticking with the home streams for most of the games and don’t even bother with the away team link now. Was there no Hibs commentary available today?

Same here bud. I remember a 3-3 draw mid 80s when we came back from 3-1 down and had a great night as if we’d won a cup. We didn’t get much of a sniff at Tannadice back then. Good to see us picking up wins there fairly regularly now.

Gogic has been excellent the last few games and easily one of our top players. He now looks like the signing we thought we were getting. Lots of people complained about his passing earlier this season but again the last few games that hasn't been an issue.

Our record against them in the early 80s was horrible. I mind being beside myself when we were 1-0 up at ER in the Cup in 82. United got a last minute corner and the inevitable happened, followed by the inevitable in the replay. Bizarrely in the same season we didn't win an away game until April, and that was at Tannadice. I think we added to that at Firhill a few weeks later.

I was in the Standing Enclosure under the North Stand for that game. Sickener. We won the toss so the 2nd replay was at ER. Bigger crowd than the first replay, around 13,000 saw us pumped 0-3.

yup spot on, my god you got shivers any time he tried anything fancy. in fact scrub that... when tried anything other than hoofing it down the pitch :wink: but he was picked by multiple managers who must have appreciated his effort.

[JGS56]

For those who still think Doig's was a handball, take a look at Sportscene. James McFadden has just stated it was not a penalty, as the rules state that if the ball comes off another part of the players body and then hits the arm it is not a penalty. You can see on the highlights that the ball comes of Doig's chest then onto his arm - so no penalty.

The rule change from the BBC website.

So should a penalty be given every time the ball hits a player's hand in the area?No. The exceptions are if the ball hits a player's arm directly from the player's own head or body and if a player is falling and their arm is between themselves and the ground for support. There is also room for interpretation as to what makes a player's body 'unnaturally bigger'.
