I've been sceptical but last 3 games have been excellent. Not just pleased with the 3 points today, the performance was excellent and we could have scored a couple more.

The two semis pi$$ed me off no end, but calling for Ross’ head was knee jerk and premature.

Great result today and a huge step toward getting rid of the big game bottler tag he’d gained.

Puts us in a great position going into the run in :agree:

[The Spaceman]

Ross IN.

Best manager we have had in a long time. Calling it.

[Pretty Boy]

I think if the semi final was next weekend we'd see a very different opinion all round regarding Jack Ross. He threw the new guys in and it didn't work. We have seen after a few weeks together what they offer.

It's unfortunate for him and unfortunate for us that things worked out as they did. More weeks like the one just gone will have a fair few people eating their words though.

[Wheat Hound]

Happy to give Ross full credit for another spot on set up and performance today. Long may it continue.

[neil7908]

Indeed. We look much improved but a few of his supporters on here acting like we've won the league. That's not a dig at the manager, very impressive last 3 results but some are enjoying getting it up other posters more than the 3 points.

[Unseen work]

That’s an absolutley brilliant win AND performance.

Very good going forward, created a lot of chances and half chances.

Defended solid throughout and their only chance was a deflected header off the bar. I heard we were lucky to get away with it, no they were lucky it got a deflection.

Massive amount of credit to Ross for his signings, especially this January and how he set the team up today. Also for having the courage to keep the team as it is and not chuck Nisbet and Porteous back in which most would have done.

Onwards and upwards from here.

Correct, its a 38 game season.

Some fans are going wild at winning a first game against our rivals in over a year. Where the argument is that we should be doing it more regularly. Lets just see if we do that.

For the amount of abuse Hibs/Ross get on here after a poor performance or result and people want him sacked instantly. Get a really good win and performance and all of a sudden there’s a long way to go and let’s wait and see where we are at the end of the season?!:confused:

Cup defeats to both Hearts and St Johnstone were completely unacceptable. He was rightly questioned on his managerial abilities.

The cuffings off Ross County and Livingston for me. Not just a dip in performances but humiliation. The semi final was the straw that broke the camel's back. It was a bad defeat at a bad time and seemed to show that all our old failings were still there. That we were still too "boy band". That we still "hibs it" when the opportunity for success presents itself.

I can't understand any hibs fan not being alarmed at that stage. Not given our history of similar failings.

This isn't Jack Ross's fault. That the weight of our history rests on his shoulders. But it does.

I'm very impressed with the last three wins. Seeing us take advantage while Aberdeen and Livi cut each others throats in a double header and following it up by thumping Aberdeen. That is not boy band and it is not hibsing it. That is a set of results by a manager and a team made of stern stuff.

I was wrong and after today's result happy to be proved so.

Well done hibs.

[Allez Hibs]

Yeah and everyone jumped all over it, there was none of this calm logic of aw it’s a long season, wait and see where we are at the end of the season.

There was instantly threads on sacking him and a complete overreaction.

[Andy74]

This is the crux of the question.

You’ve said unacceptable so presumably you’d have sacked him for those results regardless of how things are going generally?

Do you think that would have been the most productive way to help matters and that we would have been in a better place now and looking to the future had he been sacked after the semi?

It’s a bit of a nonsense way to look at the future of the club as really you are just looking for punishment or revenge rather than looking at what is best in the long term.

[Yorkshire HFC]

Do people really change their opinion of the manager after every game? He's on his final warning every game?

Presumably he's signed a contract for x amount of years - why not just accept than and let that run its course without having a drama after every game?

Why not? We've just beaten the 3rd best team in the country over the last 7/8 years to widen the gap in 3rd and remain on course for a record points haul. My only gripe is Aberdeen escaped with only a 2-0 defeat. Lighten up.

[The Modfather]

Great, a new thread that’s a thinly veiled excuse to continue the sniping.

On a more positive and relevant theme we were excellent today and quite enjoyed the game. Irvine & Murphy were standouts for me and made Boyle tick. Think we should just enjoy Irvine while we can as he’s a cut above our league.

Credit to Ross for signing Irvine & Cadden as they look to be the key signings to address the midfield issues and balance of the team. We look, balanced , solid defensively and have creativity now. With folk who were first picks earlier in the season now not guaranteed to get back into the team straight away. Today was a big performance and put to the sword a team that’s been a bogeyman for us.

[Wilson]

No they don't. That is a criticism levelled at some fans but it isn't true.

Butcher signed a contract for x amount of years. So did Heckingbottom. If you are backing someone for x amount of years you have to believe in the work they are doing. That is where people's opinions diverge.

Hibs are too big a club (in Scottish terms) to allow ourselves to be in the doldrums for too long. To spend too long backing the wrong man. I was worried that is what we were doing with Ross but I was wrong.

Its nice to have a positive title though :greengrin. Will be interesting to see what Aberdeen do. Cant see them sacking McInnes with so few games to go. If they do then its a hell of a gamble to bring in someone new & hope they make n instant difference.

[capitals_finest]

I will never criticise a player or manager that comes into this club with the aim of using the club as a stepping stone or a platform to move on to a club at a higher level or for higher wages because we must have one of the most short sighted disloyal supports going. Even Hearts supporters seem to show their players, management and boardroom staff more loyalty and give them a better chance than we do. I reckon this is why they have the better derby record because they seem to give their staff more time and more loyalty.

To the 30%, i don’t understand your way of thinking and it is damaging to our club. We have a decent manager give him and the players a chance. He has no real connection to the club until he was employed by us. We are a great club, give him a good chance to understand what we are about. Work with him, we want to encourage loyalty especially to the players and managers who have no connection to the club until the day they signed for us. Put yourselves in their shoes. I want him to love the club like we do. If we can achieve this with managers of his ability then the rest should take care of itself and the managers passion will filter through to the players. We might also hold on to the better players for a bit longer.

[Vini1875]

Excellent win. I'm not a big JR fan, but it may have more to do with the low key approach he has, than results or performances of his teams. Where we are right is very good going for this team and manager. As a club we do not rise to the occasion often enough, but to grab third and a chance at the Europa group stage would be massive for us.

[The Modfather]

Folk never seem to call for threads to be stopped or deleted when there’s a negative pile on.

There’s normally as many folk complaining about the negativity as there are posting unbalanced negativity. It all seems very petty and like some folk, on each side, enjoy playing the man as much as the ball and posters follow each other about while the actual thread is an aside. We saw it on the match thread, a wholly positive performance yet some folk still thought it a good idea to get digs in and try and get a reaction.

When threads become petty and entrenched I usually lose interest in them and move onto another thread. Some posters, again on either side, feel duty bound to reply to any and all posts and it all becomes self fulfilling and a bore IMO.

The reason for the Derby record is 30 years of spending other people's money. When the table's are even, the results are roughly even.

Maybe losing the semi finals will be a blessing in disguise long term and we can keep him longer for more league seasons.

If we had won both semis and sitting in 3rd I’m 100% certain many clubs would be asking about his availability.

Of course that’s a bit round about thinking as of course I would rather have been in the finals / winning cups but it’s a very small positive.

People are saying that consistently he has proved he’s a good manager and over 28 games has us 3rd in the league.

They’re judging him on that and not 2 one off games in semi finals, even though they were disappointing. The players missed countless chances in both which if they took they’d have won both and no one would have questioned him.

If youre big enough to kick someone or the team when they’re down, be big enough to praise them when they’re doing well.

3 wins in a row, 6 goals scored and 1 conceded. Cheers.

Ofcourse, today was a big win for us and puts us on n a very strong position to finish 3rd which would be a successful season 👍

**** it we're all Hibbies and want the best for the club. Let's just enjoy where we are right now. Have a good night folks.

I said in the 'Ross Out' thread I thought it was too early for call for his sacking, and I stand by that. For all the two semi-final defeats were very annoying, that's just the way it goes in cup football. We didn't perform on either day. We don't win trophies very often, so I don't think it was worthy of the sack. Two semi-finals isn't disastrous, and, when you combine that with third in the league, that's well above average for Hibs. No denying the football hasn't been great to watch this season, and there have been several very poor performances and results, but again, I think he's earned more time to work on that. A solid 6.5/10 from me so far - not brilliant, but not poor. Let's see if he can improve us further.

[Jim44]

Let's just see if he can have us finishing 3rd with the added incentive of Group Stage European Football 👍

That’s right. Just get off on putting a negative spin on everything. We all know about our weaknesses and ultimately you’ll possibly be pumping the air knowing that you were right. But for god’s sake, just enjoy our momentary success and potential to go on and complete a good season.

[Weegreenman]

Hopefully we can kick on and widen the gap! Three wins on the bounce is excellent. Keep it up lads

[h1bs4life]

Many a poll on a manager has led to the sack, so I suppose the internet is the real world.

Can you give some examples ?
What people discuss on a football forum has no bearing on a manager getting sacked mostly because the internet is not a true cross section of the support
In the real world people go to pubs games discuss things and support the team.
Just because people have a different opinion on an internet football forum doesn't mean at games they boo the manager or any players.

Not sure how you can think what you've quoted is negative?

Finishing 3rd this season could potentially be massive for Hibs with European Group Stage, massive.

Exactly. I don’t think the poster is willing to admit to his or her negativity.

Thats your perception of the words I used where I meant it in the spirit of the latter quoted sentence. And again, I'm not sure how what I said is negative. We haven't finished 3rd yet but are in a great position to do so now. Let's hope we can.

"Let's just see if... " generally implies doubt, therefore negativity. You can pretend otherwise if you want.

There will always be doubt. That's why on the next 5 games thread there is no tub thumping. Folk are still urging we take one game at a time. So let's see.

Anyway, if the arguments have come down to just choice of words I guess we really are in a better place.

[147lothian]

Eh? Fans are reacting like we've won the league after winning today.

Its how fans of every club react when their team is doing well.

Its not like your glass is half empty its more like its developed a leak.

[Since452]

Genuinely gutted I can't nip over the bridge to support this side. They deserve it.

Butcher out.

[hibee-boys]

You’ve just got to love the fickleness of football fans, Jack’s neck on the block a couple of weeks ago, we’re now looking out our passports for a possible Europa League adventure😂

[Since452]

Butcher out.

Remember the Butcher in threads? Deary me. I was included. Thought it was a great appointment.

[capitals_finest]

What a load of crap. Hibs fans are no different from anyone else.
Will leave praising hertz fans to you .
11 500 people paid for season tickets knowing they would be lucky to see any live football lots more put money into HSL all showing love for the club .
It used to be the fans at games fault that Hibs lost now it's fans on a internet football forums fault for not showing love to a manager and players
that will make them stay for ever and ever.
I have went from Ross being an excellent appointment to meh after the semi final defeats to now thinking he could be the man , I will reserve the right to change my mind if I want.
Some people think the internet is the real world .

All i’m saying is these things filter down to the players and staff whether its behind the goals or behind their backs on internet forums.

I’m no doubting anyone’s love for the club and i don’t know how we compare to supporters of other clubs but i see an occurring tendency for some of our support to turn on the players and managers pretty quickly. I also see a tendency for our best players to move on pretty quickly over the years. John McGinn being the exception. Look at Stubbs and Doolan they were under fire quite a bit over the season then they won us the cup. We were all gutted when they left. A high turnover of managers doesn’t work much from what i have seen.

Can we really expect loyalty from the players and manager if we can’t give them a decent enough go at it before jumping on their backs.

Anyways, GGTTH :flag:

I've not seen anyone reacting like that. Just people enjoying a good win. Your comment there is more of an overreaction than any of those happy at today's result.

I didn’t really read the forum until a couple of years ago but I was delighted when we appointed him too. Wasn’t his last game in charge of Inverness a win against us at ER? Should have set them up to lose, would have saved him a relegation.

Think Malpas was in charge of them that day as he was preparing to join us. They whipped us that day.

This guy is an absolute misery guts in terms of our progress. If he’s a genuine Hibs fan, he wants to have a good look at himself. If he’s a troll or a Jambo, he can take a running one ....... :greengrin
