St Johnstone v Hibernian Scottish Cup Final Saturday 22nd May 2021

[Iain G]

Always slowest to the second balls

[makaveli1875]

Ross out

Out of where ? Davidson's back pocket

[madhatter]

We are about to lose a cup final. Look at Newell and Irvine. Terrible. No pressing and just jog into position then walk.

Newell looks like he’s won a competition to play. So one paced it’s unreal.

[CMac1988]

So bad.

[dp00]

No passion , nothing , most of them look like there thinking about there holiday

[shamo9]

Come on Hibs! Still time. Doesn't have to be pretty, just score a goal.

[Smartie]

We need some of our biggest players, who have been somewhere between abysmal and meh so far to stand up now.

Boyle, Nisbet, Doidge, Newell, Irvine - it’s over to you.

Looks like there’s joy to be had down our left though, Murphy looking like he really fancies it.

[Crab apple]

They look more likely to score. Doig looks done.

[Magpie]

Any more attackers on the bench or did we not bother in January?

[Liam6270]

This is horrendous now, 20 mins to go and nobody is busting a gut

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

This has been too comfortable for St Johnstone.

If I was a St J fan I’d be pretty chilled right now.

[HH81]

Losing every single 2nd ball.

This sub should have been made earlier.

[J-C]

Newell off and about ****ing time

[Hibs Class]

Hallberg on for Newell

[silverhibee]

This is so depressing

[Torto7]

Why are our players blowing out of their *****? This is woeful.

[StockholmHibs]

We're going to lose this aren't we?

Totally

[Bishop Hibee]

I thought Newell has been our best player! Not that that’s saying much.

[CloudSquall]

Zander Clark could have rolled up today in a pair of slippers with a paper and cigar, touched away Irvine's shot straight at him, and then went back to his paper and lit up another cigar.

[blaikie]

This is like a training game, no desire, passion or forward thinking.

We need a leader out there, get Daz on.

[PiemanP]

I’d have Stevenson on for Doig. Looks like his legs have gone and no quality so far.

[The_Exile]

Doig looks absolutely exhausted so the threat will come from that side for them. We have the players to run at that defence of theirs but were just pissing about with the ball in the final third. Absolutely toothless upfront.

[BroxburnHibee]

So ******* easy for the Saints.

[GreyJammies]

Come on MellBerg !!

Get a goal...

[cabbageandribs1875]

18 mins remaining to make a 2nd sub to try change things

[Sir David Gray]

St Johnstone penalty.

[HH81]

Pen them

[cabbageandribs1875]

st johnstone penalty



freakin McGinn terrible game for him

[IWasThere2016]

**** off Hibs. *****.

[tonyrougier123]

Needed hallberg and gogic from start newell might have been decent to bring on

[Hibs Class]

Penalty conceded

[J-C]

Pen saints, ****ing brutal.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Well done Porto.

[HendoDelivered]

Oh well maybe next year

[whiskyhibby]

That’s it game gone

[The_Exile]

Ffs, game over. Embarrassing.

edit: redacted!

[Torto7]

Well done bunch of losers.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Time to change the movie Hibs cmon.

[Magpie]

Bottled it again. Jack Bottlejob?

[jellybean]

Omg

[Crab apple]

Porteous. Wtf

[calumhibee1]

Get Ryan Porteous to ****.

You could see this coming a ****ing mile away. Scandalous decision to start him ahead of McGregor.

[MWHIBBIES]

And Ryan sells the shirt. Useless.

[Hibs Class]

Porteous mistake again

[northstandhibby]

Aye well done Porto.

[Pretty Boy]

Ryan ****ing Porteous. What is he thinking?

[OtleyHibs]

I thought Newell has been our best player! Not that that’s saying much.

Not for me, frustrating, slows us down and too many sideways and backwards passing.
Should have offered us much more today

[jellybean]

Yas!

[HH81]

Great save

[Sir David Gray]

Double save Macey.

[Moulin Yarns]

Macey

[Hibs Class]

Fantastic double save

[J-C]

**** me Macey

[Ronniekirk]

We just don’t look like scoring ffs

double save macey well freakin done man

[blaikie]

****ed it

[Pretty Boy]

****ing Macey. Get in. At least one player has shown up today.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

What a save.

[silverhibee]

The lack of urgency is sickening.

Like it’s an end of season dead rubber league game.

Gutted.

Not one player willing to get the ball and do something with it.

All over now. FFS.

[Swedish hibee]

Well done goalie

[Hibs90]

Porteous is a shambles. Get McGregor on

[jellybean]

Well done Macey

[northstandhibby]

Macey the superman.

[660]

Get David gray on

[Jim44]

We have had a complete nightmare but we’ve done nothing to avoid it.

[CraigHibee]

And folk wonder why we wanted mcgregor on from the start, great save from macey 👏

[Peevemor]

Brilliant Macey!

[Mr Grieves]

Both central defenders have laid it on for Saint Johnstone shots

[whiskyhibby]

If that fantastic double save doesn’t give them desire to win then nothing will

[ScottB]

After this Porto is welcome to **** off to Milwall. Barely broken out of a light jog.

[calumhibee1]

****ing superb Macey

[Mr Grieves]

Well done Macey

[neil7908]

Come on Hibs - don't waste this

[IWasThere2016]

What a double MM!!

[Crab apple]

Excellent Macey. Saved Porto there. Right decision to sub Doig.

[SlickShoes]

Step up Porteous, thanks mate.

[CMac1988]

C'Mon!

[Magpie]

****ing come on

[mcfly]

How is porteous in this team.

Mistake after mistake.

Awful

[DH1875]

I love you Matt Macey :hug:

[Torto7]

McGinn awful.

So true!

I am so reluctant to criticise Ross for this but picking Porteous over McGregor was a huge call and the wrong one.

The rest of this is on the players. So passive. So timid and so ovewhlemed.

[northstandhibby]

Come on ya bunch of jokers. FFS. Come on Hibs.

[SteveHFC]

How is porteous in this team.

Awful

Get him sold in the summer while we can.

[One Day Soon]

Lost a cup but found a keeper it seems.

[Ronniekirk]

Porteous again ffs Macey saves his blushes

[Smartie]

Great double save but how typical is it of today that we were 2nd to the rebound?

[silverhibee]

Not one player willing to get the ball and do something with it.

All over now. FFS.

Missed it :greengrin maybe the wee boost we need to go on to get a goal back.

[J-C]

Porteous has been poor but McGinn has been worse, mistake for the 1st and poor most of the game.

[CraigHibee]

How is porteous in this team.

Mistake after mistake.

Awful

Jack showing too much loyalty to him when its been proved that mcgregor is solid, cool calm and collective and would have been the better choice

[dp00]

If the penalty save doesn’t get them up for it then we are doomed

Took a shockingly lazy foul throw as well.

[neil7908]

I don't think anyone is going to be throwing huge money at us for Nibset or Porto on the basis of today.

[tonyrougier123]

Starting lineup done us here,hope we find some inspiration but it’s grim thank god macey kept it alive

[Crab apple]

Porteous has been poor but McGinn has been worse, mistake for the 1st and poor most of the game.

I agree with this. I'm not a great Hanlon fan but he's been the best of a bad bunch today defensively.

[Crazyhorse]

I am so reluctant to criticise Ross for this but picking Porteous over McGregor was a huge call and the wrong one.

Agree.

[calumhibee1]

I don't think anyone is going to be throwing huge money at us for Nibset or Porto on the basis of today.

If anyone overs us £1m+ for Porteous I’d take it in a heart beat.

He’s really not that good and has regressed from when he broke through.

[WhileTheChief..]

Front 3 have barely touched the ball.

This has been as grim as it could have been. Total let down.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Nisbet has been f’n anonymous the entire game.

[cabbageandribs1875]

total lack of respect every St Johnstone player strutting about with cigars in their mouths

[Torto7]

Porteous getting bullied again.

[one day maybe...]

Come on Hibs you've got 13 mins to take this into extra time :flag:

[Sylar]

Getting exactly what we deserve here. Been poor all game.

[whiskyhibby]

Nisbet has been f’n anonymous the entire game.


To be fair he hasn’t had much to work with

[NC1875]

McGregor should have played today. Everyone Could see that

[MWHIBBIES]

Porteous might be one of the stupidest footballers I've seen.

[tonyrougier123]

I think the hibs gin I’m keeping for an occasion may get exhumed in another century to be enjoyed.my stream on bbc player clearly minute behind can someone put me out my misery early plz.😒

[northstandhibby]

Porteous has been poor but McGinn has been worse, mistake for the 1st and poor most of the game.

The right side has been utterly pathetic. McGinn and Boyle non existant. Brutal against a load of crap.

[Hakim Sar]

I’d take a can of irn Bru and a packet of haribo for porteous. He is minging.

[madhatter]

We need a clear out. Has anybody told Ron Gordon the budget difference between St Johnstone and Hibs?

I’d swap our entire midfield for theirs. Probably swap the entire defence as well.

[HH81]

How the **** did Ross not play McGregor. It will haunt him forever more.

[Aldo]

So predictable today. Created very very little!

Front 3 have been pretty anonymous.

I’m just really really disappointed today. So many players just haven’t turned up

Poor from Hibs and not for the first time but hats off to St J they no what to do to win. Sadly we dont.

[Pretty Boy]

We're into hoofball time now.

2 short passes on there but we hump a diagonal ball that was so easy to defend.

[kaimendhibs]

Hope I eat my words but this is horrible

[BroxburnHibee]

Keep playing the high ball and Saints defenders say thanks very much!

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Ffs Hibs 1 nil down and were beat!!!!! Experience over rookie. Jack has some reflection to do. Is Daz injured glaring mistake.

[Torto7]

Try a hoof to Doidge for a change.:brickwall:brickwall:brickwall

[Liam6270]

This is actually disgusting

[Zambernardi1875]

Jack Ross has got it all wrong again and learnt nothing from previous games.

[IWasThere2016]

Irvine been poor

[Lago]

Transfer value of a number of Hibs players has plummeted 😊

[whiskyhibby]

Can’t see a way back now, just never had the upper hand in this game

[CloudSquall]

Rooney has played Porteous like an absolute fiddle.

[essexhibee]

Will be another 114 years at this rate

[ScottB]

How many times do we need to lose 1-0 to this lot before Ross tries something different FFS.

[staunchhibby]

Getting exactly what we developed here.Zilch

[660]

Will be another 114 years at this rate

Oh **** off

[mcfly]

It’s clear jack Ross has learnt nothing from the prev 4 defeats from st Johnstone

No clue at all.

What a lame way to perform in a Scottish cup final.

Utter disgrace

[madhatter]

Transfer value of a number of Hibs players has plummeted 😊

I’d get rid anyway. Wouldn’t waste money on Irvine either.

[blaikie]

Lack of fight here is a concern, Inaant to switch off but I can’t!

[HH81]

Game over. Bull****.

[CraigHibee]

We haven't deserved to take anything from this, haven't turned up and st Johnstone schooling us again

[neil7908]

We need a clear out. Has anybody told Ron Gordon the budget difference between St Johnstone and Hibs?

I’d swap our entire midfield for theirs. Probably swap the entire defence as well.

The worry for me isn't just that they are well organised, work hard and determined.

They are actually a decent attacking team. They have passed the ball better than us and the likes of Middleton and Wotherspoon have been more dangerous than our forward players.

[Torto7]

Just Dumb play again.

[Hibs90]

Manager got this all wrong. Once again.
Finishing third, great, fantastic. But nothing beats winning a trophy, and we’ll never have a better chance for years and years.

Bottled it.

[Jim44]

OK we are crap today but a lot of nonsense is being spouted on here.

[Tricla]

Jack Ross has got it all wrong again and learnt nothing from previous games.

It's not Ross's fault. Players have been poor. Can't even do the basics right.

[Lith]

Not one pass mark today…. They should hang their heads in shame… Ross has no inspiration in him and we can’t beat this shower of ***** and that’s tactical

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Only ourselves to ******g blame. Makes it harder to take

[silverhibee]

Can’t see a way back now, just never had the upper hand in this game

It’s over for us, we look lost.

[One Day Soon]

This is actually disgusting

It really has been

[NC1875]

And that’s why Jack Ross isn’t backed by the whole support. Piss poor in a massive game again

[HH81]

Wow.
Only the keeper has proven to be good enough today, McGregor wouldn’t have filled the void left by the others.

He would have organised the defence better.

[Gatecrasher]

Just like the game at ER, they could have played their reserves today as well :rolleyes:

[IWasThere2016]

So lame. Pathetic performance Hibs

[Moulin Yarns]

Porto struggling with an injury

[DH1875]

Get Macey up front.

[Pretty Boy]

This has been utterly disgusting for a cup final performance.

A carbon copy of several games v St Johnstone. Nowhere near good enough from the players. That saying about repeating the same things and expecting different results springs to mind.....

[James70]

Not a clue, have rarely threatened at all.

[whiskyhibby]

Not even sure the Saints keeper has had a save to make

[mcfly]

Rooney has played Porteous like an absolute fiddle.

Porteous makes the same recurrent mistakes

However the whole team haven’t turned up.

Front 3 anonymous- just embarrassing

[Crab apple]

Porto. Again. Wtf

[Paul1642]

At no point in this entire game have i felt a Hibs goal was coming :(. Not holding out much hope now

[B.H.F.C]

This is an absolute disgrace for a cup final.

[AgentDaleCooper]

Really don't think we'll miss porteous if he goes

[Sir David Gray]

We're going to lose this aren't we?

This could probably have been posted as soon as they scored.

[Torto7]

Hoof to Doidge then counter then Porteous charging in like a halfwit. Just *****.

[tonyrougier123]

Today’s lineup everything I was dreading here tbh,we got what we put out,Murphy for gogic game gone Stevenson a defensive sub chasing shadows

[Sir David Gray]

Boyle booked for diving.

[makaveli1875]

Macey and Gogic aside i hope to never clap eyes on any of this lot in a Hibs shirt ever again . Utter garbage

[Pretty Boy]

**** off Boyle. Utterly embarrassing.

[cabbageandribs1875]

away yi go boyle

[Zambernardi1875]

It's not Ross's fault. Players have been poor. Can't even do the basics right.

Playing the same team and formation against a team that have our number is very amateur

[Hibs Class]

Boyle deservedly booked for diving

[HH81]

Boyle dived.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Only Macey gets pass marks today. Right now we are getting back what we have put into the game.

[Hakim Sar]

Martin Boyle is a diver. He is embarrassing.

[Andymac85]

This is exactly how Davidson would have wanted the game to go.

[jellybean]

This is just embarrassing now

[One Day Soon]

**** off Boyle.

Boyle booked for diving.

Forgot he was playing

[DH1875]

Boyle diving again.

[Devonhibs]

Embarrasing dive from Boyle

[HoboHarry]

Not a clue, have rarely threatened at all.

First half save from Irvine is the only one I can think of...

[IWasThere2016]

Get decent money for Porteous and Nisbet and rebuild the squad.

What kind of ****ing corner was that later in the game?

We’ve learned **** all from playing them 5 times this season.

****ing shambolic. Keep doing the same thing and keep getting the same ****ing result.

For all the people saying it’s not Jack Ross’ fault, he certainly takes a huge chunk of the blame. We set up the same way every time we play St J and we keep getting our ***** handed to us. ****ing disgraceful.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Very poor today. Questions have to be asked about Ross. Porteous over McGregor. Newell over Hallberg. Take off Doig for Stevenson? WTF? GTF Ross.

So frustrating too watch. Never in a position to win a second ball.

[neil7908]

Full time, well done to St Johnstone. Two cup wins in the one season is some achievement.

Embarrassing performance from Hibs, absolutely pathetic. Disgusted by what I've seen today, completely unacceptable - the game was done after 32 minutes.

[Peevemor]

Pish. Got what we deserved.

[chrisski33]

Been too busy celebrating getting 3rd. Can see some players values going down after this performance

[Hiber-nation]

What an absolute embarrassment. Utterly clueless, no bottle, lumped the ball up to their big defenders all day. Diabolical.

[Pretty Boy]

Booooooo

A team with about 10 fans have just won a double.

[calumhibee1]

An utter ****ing disgrace.

We’ve handed St Johnstone a double that we’ve absolutely no excuses for not winning ourselves. ****ing dreadful and third place has done nothing but paper over the cracks.

This has been Jack Ross-tastic as far as do or die game performances go. Still, I’m sure we’ll ‘learn things’ from this.
