Keepers in no man's land there

**** sake. Great result for Hearts. Very predictable though. Celtic plenty of the ball but poor overall.

[Paul1642]

god help celtic if soro gets injured looks tp be their only player with a bit of inventivness the rest are bang average could be a 4th or 5th place finnish for the lesser greens this season.

I have heard similar so often. If they don’t win the league (not looking too likely right now) then they will come second with a 20+ point gap.

[JimBHibees]

Yip, ridiculous decision not to at least give a yellow. Possibly a red. Nowhere near the ball, lunged in and took McGregor out.

Perfect view of it corrupt

[Lancs Harp]

Keepers in no man's land there

think the main issue would be the free header.

[Torto7]

That defending. Lolz.

[Borderhibbie76]

They've played into Hertz hands giving away stupid free kicks in and around the box...this new manager is on a hiding to nothing

[JXM73]

Cetic gonna be 25 points behind rangers by october at this rate, pleasing...

[neil7908]

Celtic just can’t defend.

Not sure when we play them but we cannot sit back - need to go for the jugular as they are shocking defensively.

[bigwheel]

Hearts always dangerous at set pieces…Celtic defending abysmal….Hearts gameplan has worked tonight…

Doesn't help but I think it's a fairly straightforward save if the keeper wasn't stuck in limbo

[04Sauzee]

That Starfelt or whatever his name is has had one of the worst debut's I have seen 😅😅 absolutely Lillian Gish

[Tyler Durden]

Celtic have a good goal disallowed, Hearts should be down to 10, Celtic dominate the game…. Only this mob could get so lucky.

Madden has gave them everything in the last 15

[Broken Gnome]

Pretty content with this if we win tomorrow. Keeps Celtic in and around us, and Hearts have won by doing naff all basically.

[SChibs]

They only finished 14 ahead of us last season and they look worse this year

Bloody Gordon…[emoji2959]

Think that’s the worst Celtic team I’ve seen in a long time.

Don't really think they had one. Hearts were very poor imo.

[lucky]

Two very poor teams on show. Hearts strong at the back but are playing the worst Celtic team in over 10 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if they offered £10m for Nesbit, Doig and Boyle strengthen them and weaken Hibs.

[SteveHFC]

Bloody Gordon…[emoji2959]

Would be starting him over Marshall for the remaining world cup qualifiers.

[Andy74]

Celtic should have kept Gordon.

[Jim44]

Great result for Hearts but plenty of teams will take points off that Celtic team.

[Lancs Harp]

Hearts win the league in July.

[007]

There's the story right there. Gordon gains them 2 points & Celtic should never have let him go.

[hibIBZ]

Celtic looked dreadful, hearts don't look much better, sitting in on their 5 a side pitch they will pick up points, but they don't look great.

Celtic will surely spend because they looked very poor

[Northernhibee]

Can see the Celtic manager not even lasting to the end of August.

[Since452]

Still a brilliant keeper

So guys, let's nip the pish about Hearts being *****/lucky/an easy three points this season early, okay? They will prove as annoying and resilient as **** as always. :aok:

[whiskyhibby]

🚖 for Postecoglu

[brog]

Ludicrous that 5 of that Celtc team were at the Euros with Scotland.

[Magpie]

That’s Hearts won the league then

Come if it ..you think a top league team goes into a match without a plan ?

The changes Neilson made changed the momentum at a crucial period..

Best statement of the night.

[dastardly8]

Two pish teams , especially hearts , Celtic loads possession and they twats in maroon were pathetic , bottom six fodder , nothing to fear there and a perfectly good Celtic goal ruled offside

[Hiber-nation]

Every team in the league would have been confident of beating Celtic at home considering the state they're in. Hearts did it but not at all convincingly. They're not very good.

[Northernhibee]

Come if it ..you think a top league team goes into a match without a plan ? ..

We’ve had a recent manager who according to playing squad members on podcasts had us doing just that, read out the team sheet and the team figured it out from there.

[gbhibby]

Celtic good in possession but no end product. Hearts sitting off teams will get punished with pace. Good 3 points for Hearts.

[The Harp Awakes]

Celtic are powder puff and have no spine. 2 very good saves by Gordon at the end. Ex Rangers season ticket holder Madden and the linesman played a big part in Hearts win though.

Aye that resilient they got relegated the season before last and are the most relegated team in SPL history. Hearts are nothing, the ghosts belong to Hibs, time to get over it.

Agree ref was at it late obviously didn't want to annoy his Rangers mates

[heretoday]

Apart from Souttar, Hearts are not strong at the back and relied on Gordon to save them. They've got fight though and did well not to give in. Their signing Baningime will be a star once he finds a role.

I foresee a few problems with the Jam tarts this season!

[Sir David Gray]

Angie will be gone by Christmas.

Celtic will still finish second but they're seriously pish.

[Unseen work]

Wouldn’t be calling hearts rubbish etc.

They had a game plan and it worked very well.

3 points on the board for them in a very difficult first fixture.

Let’s not pretend if we won that we wouldn’t be delighted.

Hearts issue is they often look good against the better teams and get good results. Yet somehow lose to the teams near the bottom of the league.

[wookie70]

Hearts got very lucky playing them on the opening day. Their manager hasn't had a chance to make the team his own and they are still suffering the Lennon and loss of 10 in a row effect. We know it take times to get over Lennon and sometimes more than a single manager to sort out the mess of a squad he has left in his last two jobs. We are very unfortunate to not play Celtic until the end of October. I suspect they will have a good few more players in by then

[Lee Marvin]

Souttar was very good. Two new signings look promising. Hearts did ride their luck and played the worst Celtic team I've ever seen, but that is still a good win.

I still think the boos will be back by the end of August though

[JimBHibees]

What's the gig with the blaring music when interviews are happening. Absolute wierdos

It’s like playing a different sport at Tynie - honestly such a tight pitch to play on and no co-incidence they pick up so many points at home.

Celtic are awful - we have been saying this for months and this week showed again. Rangers probably can’t wait to play them in a few weeks could take 5 off them if they are in the mood.

The boos were happening during this game

[Northernhibee]

Been nearly six months since Celtic have won away from home apparent.

Hideous record.

[Tommy75]

That was a pretty boring game apart from the last 5 minutes.

I don't think Hearts looked particularly dangerous going forward and Celtic never really asked any questions of them defensively (other than Gordon's 2 good saves).

[hibstag]

They've played into Hertz hands giving away stupid free kicks in and around the box...this new manager is on a hiding to nothing

That's how I saw it hearts barely had the ball for a 20 mins period in the 2nd half then they put haring on to hold it long enough to get fouled 30 yards out then shell it in worked in the cup final as they got to penalties and tonight 3pts from 30 odd percent possession. They'll do it against us too...

[Tyler Durden]

Sorry but nah. Souttar nowhere at Ralstons goal and also dragged out of position for the late one that Gordon saved. He’s not a great defender at all. Decent in possession.

I thought their new signing grew into the game and did pretty well. But he’s another Halliday/Haring type. They’ve no midfielders who can pass or dictate a game.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

A win is worth three points whether its lucky or deserved. That's a great result for the Jambos.

Open Goal pals of course.

You keep going on about this. Barring a few player selections I’m not sure what this manager could have done differently so far. Maybe playing Welsh tonight for one.

Hardly his fault he’s been left with this squad where 2/3 of the better players want away is it? His tactics were fine tonight, it’s individual players who have let them down.

[EVENTUALLY]

Thought Abada looked like the new Bobby Petta but the loanee from Brighton did well to stay on his feet and defended well. Pity our English partnership club have gone a wee way to solving Hearts long standing left back difficulties.

I know that they had put all their eggs in the Eddie Howe basket but why they appointed this guy baffles me. They’d have been better sticking with Kennedy or even going with someone who knows the league, club and has won silverware like Yogi or Stubbs. Would be a hugely unpopular and unfashionable signing but this guy is learning a new squad, club, league, nation and continent.

[TelaStella]

I think if that was any of the top 6 playing Celtic tonight it wouldn’t of been any different. I didn’t think a great deal of hearts, poor in possession and often lacking that drive in the 2nd half. Easily there for the taking but did well to stay in it and find the winner. Meh. We know how this goes so in no means should they be wrote off but I really don’t expect much of them over the course of the season, 6th of 5th will suit them comfortably. Worst Celtic team I’ve ever seen though and there will be plenty opportunities to remind ourselves of such over this season.

It was, but at the end of the day has absolutely no bearing on our season whatsoever. Our season will take care of itself.

Hearts aint all that as wee seen but a win at home against the two cheeks is always a bonus,, sure we would be chuffed with a 2-1 win

Anyways its all about smashing Well the morra

You don’t think he could have set them up any better against either Midget Land or Hearts?

Has he even won a game yet, either competitive or friendlies?

John Kennedy was doing a better job with the same players. And that’s saying something because he was ****ing horrendous.

He has the potential to be the worst appointment Celtic have made in recent history from the evidence so far. Absolutely zero experience of football in Scotland or even Europe. They wanted Eddie Howe and managed to come up with someone who has absolutely no similarities with Eddie Howe when they couldn’t get him? It’s like they’ve picked his name out a hat :faf:

[The Captain....]

Thought Celtic really should have won that but for their obvious failings letting them down again, not sure their disallowed second goal was offside either.

Gordon really is worth at least a dozen points to Hearts a season..the marked difference between his saves and the comical positioning of Bain at Hearts 2nd goal was stark.

Was surprised Hearts didnt go with the big lad up front from the start, Celtic's defence cannot defend set peices so any crosses into the box are going to cause havoc. It was only when they reverted to type and started the aerial bombardment that they got on top and looked like winning the game.

Quite unbelievable how bad things have been allowed to get at Celtic. There seems to be nobody of any character left at the club and the position their Board have left a new manager in would have you wanting blood if you were a Celtic fan. The new CEO seems like a ghost..done absolutely nothing since coming in as far as I can see.

[Chorley Hibee]

I'm going to console myself with the knowledge of what happened to Hibs (97/98) when they beat Celtic (Celtic with a new manager in charge too) 2-1 at home on the opening day of the season.

[Tyler Durden]

He wasn’t though. He had Ajer, Kenny, Laxalt, El Younussi for starters. Scott Brown.

Not the same at all.

Sorry but if Postecoglou's managerial record suggests to you that he is a '****ing donkey' then you haven't a clue what you're talking about.

Problems at Celtic run deeper than the manager, that much has been clear for months. Their squad simply is nowhere near good enough at the moment.

[Pretty Boy]

As far as I care about these things it was a decent game to watch. I dipped in and out and it seemed entertaining. Regardless of Celtic's troubles it's an excellent 3 points for Hearts. We'd be buzzing starting with a win v Celtic and so should they be.

The derby arguments will be as entirely predictable as ever so there's no point in getting involved. I've learned from years of experience, including 2 very recent experiences, that no matter what is happening with Hearts elsewhere we are unlikely to roll up and walk over them in a derby. I'm not panicking about playing them but I'm not foolish enough to predict anything other than a tight game when it rolls around.

[calumhibee1]

We’ll see in a couple of months. A good record in Australian and Asian football counts for nothing at the level Celtic expect to be competing at. He’s already getting his excuses in for his shambolic start. He comes across as being miles out his depth.

Of course you know what you’re talking about though and clearly know the guy is an outstanding manager.

[Crab apple]

Absolutely. And with a new Swedish striker by the name of Henrik Larsson. I remember the game well. Thought we were in for a fantastic season. Little did I know! Hopefully the same end result for the maroon balloons.

[WeeRussell]

There are certainly some posters more defensive about Hearts than about their own team. It is odd behaviour.

Odd behaviour is grown men being that much in a huff and in denial about hearts getting a good result that they start having a go at other posters willing to admit that it was so.

Celtic were poor, hearts nicked it in the end. But we’d all be laughing at how pathetic the jambos are if they were streaming in to post how bad we are after we’d just turned an old firm side over in the first game of the season.

Of course it was a good result for them. It is what it is. Personally while they’re no world beaters, I think they look much improved since I last seen them play months ago.

I just hope we can do the business tomorrow and start 3 points ahead of Celtic. I would have taken a draw between them quite happily tonight, but the way I see it is we should finish above hearts this season regardless of tonight, and be looking to challenge Celtic, rather than looking behind us at the newly promoted championship outfit.

Very good result for hearts. No question. And nothing wrong with saying it.

[Since452]

I thought a draw would have been rediculously harsh on Celtic but to lose the game is bizzare. Hearts offered nothing. Brilliant 3 points for them though.

[Mrimbetween]

I may add i had a fiver on that clown Halliday to get booked at 11/4 gutted and robbed

No, nothing wrong with saying that at all and I’m not talking generally about those saying so.

We do have 1 or 2 posters though that are ultra critical of anything we do, even when we are doing well, but are particularly keen to comment positively on Hearts.

[Alfred E Newman]

Going out on a limb there, Alf. Despite their shortcomings, I suspect most would expect Celtic to win. You could win a few bob for yourself, tho’.

Having said that, can’t say I’ve noticed posters rushing to speak positively about Hearts on here (in fact it’s one of the few things you don’t get on .net in my experience!) but that’s not to say they don’t exist, and I certainly agree we have more than our fair share of posters who only seem to appear when it’s time for them to stick the boot in to hibs.

I don't know that he's an outstanding manager but he clearly isn't a '****ing donkey' is he? He's obviously a fairly successful football manager who's had a poor couple of poor results at a new club. Why does everything have to be hyperbole on here?

Either I have to think he's a ****ing donkey or he's outstanding? There's a fairly big gap in between.

[Since452]

Hearts beat Rangers a couple of times at Tynecastle the same season we beat Hearts there. I don't think tonights game will have any bearing on the derby but if it did, on tonights showing, I'd very much fancy our chances.

[Spike Mandela]

So guys, let's nip the pish about Hearts being *****/lucky/an easy three points this season early, okay? They will prove as annoying and resilient as **** as always. :aok:

Like two years ago when they couldn’t stop beating us and Rangers but got relegated.:greengrin

[ian cruise]

Maybe 2nd is up for grabs this season.

I think it is, I don't imagine it will be easy but we should definitely be looking at it.

We made big steps last season, I don't think we dropped the ball by not challenging Celtic for 2nd last season but we need to push on and as they haven't strengthened then this is the goal we should be aiming for.

[Andy74]

The Derbies this season are a big test for Jack Ross. Hearts result tonight makes that even more clear.

Exhibit A.

[J-C]

Mostly all Celtic but having Edouard still playing when it's obvious he can't be arsed is a big mistake, his negativity spreads through the team. Just don't understand why they haven't got rid of him yet, what's the hold up?

Both Hearts goals were down to defensive errors again, they worked hard and played a high press, we'll see how long they can keep that up or if they just up their game for big matches.

What we've learnt is Celtic are bang average and will struggle this season and Hearts are not to be underestimated.

[bigwheel]

No, nothing wrong with saying that at all and I’m not talking generally about those saying so.

There may be, not sure who they are these days….there’s a lot more on here who will never countenance anything positive about anything to do with Hearts. Understandable I guess on a Hibs forum, but it doesn’t enhance the football discussion on here.

Hearts were dominated for 75 mins, yet still won…exploring that can be interesting football chat - certainly haven’t seen anything remotely near “love in” comments on here today .

Agree with most of your post but I actually think Edouard showed a couple of times why he’s still in the team. He’s the one bit of real top quality they have left so must be frustrating as f*** they’re not getting the best out of him. Wasn’t in the game as much as he should have been tonight given their possession but I wouldn’t assume he doesn’t still have something to offer, and him in his current state may well still be easily their best option?

[Sir David Gray]

That Celtic manager will get sacked I’ll give him 8 games then he’s gone

Hopefully gets 11 league games so we can beat them.

[Steve20]

I’d like to think Jack Ross and the players won’t make a mess of the derby like they did the last two, where losing either was a disgrace, never mind both.

They’re not that good, they were playing against a rank Celtic team.

Both team were utter pony. Anyone thinking otherwise is nuts. I watched it with a Celtic and hearts fan. Both were embarrassed

He’s a decent guy. Gave up his ST last year due to the poor team he was watching. Loves his club but hates the way they are currently playing football. He’s a well qualified coach in the SFA. He was embarrassed watching the game.

Chucked £20 on it. Had a few quid in the Sky Bet account from the Each Way Scottish Cup bet and Hibs to win the league without Celtic and Rangers. Funnily enough we're also 14/1 there to win without Rangers which you'd think should be ever so slightly longer odds than the top 2 finish. Also stuck £10 on at Betway at 9/4 on us without Rangers and Celtic and got a £10 free bet which went on the same. Ross out if he doesn't make me a few quid. 😀

Was this a quote from Kickback ?

[cubehindthegoal]

Pretty content with this if we win tomorrow. Keeps Celtic in and around us, and Hearts have won by doing naff all basically.

totally agree

[cubehindthegoal]

I’m not sure I can agree with you, that was a very good result for them.

That doesn’t address what was said though, does it ?

[King Cosell]

The Derbies this season are a big test for Jack Ross. Hearts result tonight makes that even more clear.

If we go into the winter break in 5th place, 15 pts behind Aberdeen in 3rd, but with 2 derby wins under our belt, I'll be disappointed.

If we're 3rd, 5 pts ahead of Aberdeen in 4th, but with only 1 pt from the 2 derbies, I'll be happy.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

It was best time to play Celtic especially with home advantage
New Manager not yet settled in Just back from a very poor away performance in Europe Squad still not reshaped and some of the dross from last season sill there

No away support as well. A very good time to get Celtic tbh. As as been said, last time Celtic lost an opening day game was at ER in 1997. Didn't do us much good as we went on to relegated that season. 😉

I don't know that he's an outstanding manager but he clearly isn't a '****ing donkey' is he? He's obviously a fairly successful football manager who's had a poor couple of poor results at a new club. Why does everything have to be hyperbole on here?

Either I have to think he's a ****ing donkey or he's outstanding? There's a fairly big gap in between.

The evidence so far would suggest he is a ****ing donkey. I’m not sure why you seem to be so defensive of him.

3 competitive games, 3 bad results.

A horsing in a friendly.

Admitting himself that he’s not managing to convince players to sign for him. Guys like Starfelt that he has managed to sign look like Duffy MKII. He talks about only wanting guys that want to play for Celtic but persists with Edouard, a player who may be the most obvious example of not wanting to be at a club I’ve ever seen. The guy is all over the shop.

Suppose so, but when your team has only 26% possession in a game, love in won’t last for long

[The Count]

Watching the game last night and Hearts fans were getting on the managers back about sitting back hoping for a draw.They win and Robbie celebrates as though he has won the Champions League.He knows he is under pressure from his own fans and time will tell.Good/lucky 3 points for them unfortunately.

Personally I think you are way OTT, you’ve got the guy down as a clown before his first domestic game was even finished. It’s like when Alan Stubbs came into Hibs and he had to field the likes of Paul Heffernan or Michael Nelson a few times. That hardly made him clueless, it was just the necessity of the hand he’d been dealt.

Celtic were doing fine in their European game until a blatant offside was missed and Bitton had a moment of madness. Hardly something Postecoglou could control. Last night they were the victim of more bad refereeing in a game they could easily have won. It’s fine lines but again, the manager has only been there about 3 weeks, it’s not gonna change overnight.

He could easily end up sacked quite quickly. But nothing so far suggests he’s out of his depth. Anyone coming into the same situation would toil.

The hysteria over Celtics poor start is also a reflection of the pathetic media we have, sports desks want dramatic stories to sell to their Rangers Celtic readership. Strachan lost heavily to the Slovakian champions in his first game as Celtic manager, survived some poor results in the league, knocked out of the league cup by Clyde, but went on to recover and have a broadly successful time as manager. The Aussie seems to be well thought of in the game and it’s far too early to write them off.

Aberdeen much more possession based team. Their two forwards look good especially Jet. United been very passive and sitting in. Aberdeen don't look all that defensively. The irony of Aberdeen moaning about United rotational fouling wasn't lost.

I had to double-check that’s they’d actually lost their Euro tie. Foster and Miller were waxing lyrical you’d never have known. What is it with the Aberdeen love-in? Talking up the game is one thing but really - editorial direction strikes yet again?

They certainly look better and Brown will help in that regard they look like they have a goal threat now with two good forwards. More of a passing team and will be interesting to see how they develop but certainly stronger looking at the moment.
