Hibs vs Rijeka

[Sir David Gray]

2-1 Rijeka.

What a horrendous goal to lose.

[Stuart93]

That’s ****ing embarrassing that

[B.H.F.C]

We were in total control and we have just ****ed it.

[Sir David Gray]

I love the big guy but McGregor's really let us down big time tonight.

[J-C]

Poor from Daz, he was walking before the ref had the card out, very unprofessional.

[neil7908]

F*** off Hibs

[007]

Didn't even look like a corner.

[wookie70]

Daz isn't suited to us playing out from the back. Hibs by far the better side this half but in a couple of minutes in now looks all over. Crazy not having another centre Half on the books

[TAHibby]

Absolutely ****ing chucked it. So disappointing

[cabbageandribs1875]

keystone cops at the back....amateur

[Borderhibbie76]

Big Daz has rarely let us down but been an absolute liability tonight. That's that sadly

[.Sean.]

Been after a centre half for long enough, he never picked himself

[Since452]

Talk about a double whammy

[Glory Lurker]

Surely wasn't a corner?

Game chucked. Our defence is awful without Hanlon.

[hibIBZ]

Totally shot ourselves in the foot, game over from the looks of things. Daz looked totally exhausted in the minutes leading up to that,

[The Spaceman]

that was never a booking

It was a yellow. Daz had hands round both hips. Boy made a meal of it but quite right to.

[bringbackbenny]

Wasn't even a corner lol

[Callum_62]

It's a terrrifc ball in but we are immune to putting defenders infront of attackers?

Totally crimal from Daz though - big mistake to lose the ball but pathetic to then compound that

Got to be said but the club knew we needed another CB. Short up front still also As usual we aren't as prepared as we need to be for these games.

And the decision to risk Hanlon against Ross County looks terrible.

This is the result of a half built squad unequipped for European and domestic football.

[eezyrider]

WordS can't convey how bad that was. Disaster followed by disaster. I always hope for the best but always end up getting this.

EZ

[neil7908]

All that hard work last season down the pan as we can't complete our recruitment in time for one of our biggest games of the season.

What's the point in finishing 3rd if we just end up going out of Europe like this year after year?

[Sir David Gray]

3-1

Night night.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

We should have better than a 36 y/o CH as back up.

[Borderhibbie76]

Sadly a lot of our fears pre kick off been realised ...really poor we have so few options on that bench ...once again its gonna cost us a European run - not for the first time

Aw **** off McGinn eh, you’re nowhere near good enough son

[CraigHibee]

[wookie70]

McGinn needs a rest or at the very least competition

[hibbysam]

Stick McGregor into some other role at the club, sign a right back and at least one centre half.

[The Modfather]

McGinn looks a shadow of the player from last season and looks short of the quality needed for this level IMO. Not a priority, but think we need an upgrade at RB if we’re to really kick on. Hopefully that’s Cadden, with McGinn a good back up.

[madhatter]

McGinn has really been found out in this game.

McGregor should never have played in this game.

We'll be going for cheap options now as no European group stage money.

[Heisenberg]

McGregor and McGinn nowhere ****ing near the level we need for games like tonight. Miles off it.

[Gatecrasher]

Another ball into the box. Another goal conceeded. People say we don’t need defenders. ****ing embarrassing

If I thought this through correctly only 2 of the 7 competitive goals conceded this season didn't come from crosses.

1 from Santa Coloma
1 from Rejika

[Hermit Crab]

All hope of a win ruined by Daz and McGinn, times up for both. Horrendous

[J-C]

No competition at CH or RB, McGinn has been poor again and apart from a wee 10 mins when we got the goal, it's been another night of poor defending and players disappearing into their shells.

[cameronw-hfc]

Game chucked. Our defence is awful without Hanlon.

Yet some people still want him out. Defence always falls apart when he's out. Think relegation season.

[Steve88]

Well done Daz, single handily responsible for knocking us out

[Stevie Reid]

Aw **** off McGinn eh, you’re nowhere near good enough son

He’s had a very bad night but there’s absolutely no need for that.

[heretoday]

It's Goodnight Croatia.

[Sir David Gray]

Damage was done last week - we should have won by at least 2 goals.

I think we were always going to be up against it after only drawing at home.

[hibIBZ]

All four Rijeka goals in this tie from crosses, simply not good enough,

[Smartie]

Blown it, better team. So annoying.

I don't think we have been the better team.

We got ourselves into a position to be the better team, but we were only dominant for 5-10 minutes.

Too many of our most important players have failed to turn up, some have let us down badly.

This was ANOTHER huge opportunity for the club that they have simply failed to take.

At some point you have to just say - this isn't good enough.

We’ve been good overall but you can’t really legislate for players doing what mcgregor did tonight. I’d never have expected him to do this but here we are.

[Callum_62]

All hope of a win ruined by Daz and McGinn, times up for both. HorrendousMcgregor was the architect of our downfall

In command in the game and he thinks he's Paul Hanlon

I can forgive him losing the ball but you simply cannot forgive him then giving the ref no option to send him off

Even if they went on to score there (unlikely) then it's still 11-11

Scandelous, amateur play from McGregor

Na you’re right, it should really be a lot harsher

[cabbageandribs1875]

unfortunately Daz cost us this game

[swin82]

Couple of minutes of madness costing us but we haven’t disgraced ourselves over the 2 legs. Doidge is a massive miss and we can’t go through another season with just Hanlon and Porto as our main centre backs!we need someone who can be seen as a starter and not just sitting on the bench! Nothing against mcginn but said it last season I expect hibs to have a better right back than Paul mcginn

[mcfly]

Poor management and poor recruitment.

We were far to light player wise going into Europe. Feels like a big wasted opportunity.

Very disappointing but McGregor and McGinn 👎

[Hibs90]

McGinn was decent last season but has been found out as a weak link.

Get him replaced. Get a couple centre half’s in and sign another striker ffs

[Del Boy]

We need to go out and spend money on a quality centre back. Until we do we will continue to fall short in these big games.

[lucky]

Whilst Daz was daft getting sent off he did have a decent first half. McGinn has been poor tonight continuing his poor start this season. But real focus on tonight giveaway should be on the recruitment team. Why have we not signed a striker and centre half? This game was winnable and it does feel we’ve thrown it away again at a crucial time.

[Hermit Crab]

He’s had a very bad night but there’s absolutely no need for that.


Cost us a goal in Andorra and one at Motherwell did he not? He's not good enough

[Centre Hawf]

Tonight puts to bed the myth that McGregor was capable of being our immediate back up at the back. Some people would have had you believe he should start every week. Criminal moment from him.

McGinn as well is as limited as it comes. Standing waiting on the ball for the third and slow to press the crosser for the first.

It’s a shame because for 5 minutes after we scored we looked ready to hurt them.

[percy veer]

shat the bed again, work hard all season to finish third then this . no doubt people will say we will learn from this ... but have we ever learned anything.

[Suburban Hibby]

Typically Hibs beat Hibs- wouldn’t mind quite so much if they were decent- but no, give them a wee hand, like most important ‘big’ games

[Hibernian Verse]

2 mins of madness has done us.

Newall had a very decent game.

[madhatter]

Bring on Dabrowski and put Macey upfront.

[Bishop Hibee]

As I said at half time, threadbare nature of the squad cost us. Daz is a legend but should be nowhere near the first team. At least it puts the argument that he should be picked ahead of Hanlon to bed. As many have said, to finish 3rd this season we need another centre half and a striker.

[B.H.F.C]

Only got ourselves to blame.

We should have went there with a lead. And then the defence imploded tonight. Still, don’t suppose we need a centre half or a striker.

I didn’t think we’d win the tie before we kicked a ball. We shouldn’t have based on what I watched though.

[Weegreenman]

Boy band. Porto & McGinn not good enough at this level.

If we want to achieve cup success and at least try and finish best of the rest this season, we need better quality with experience.

I don’t trust either.

[neil7908]

McGinn was decent last season but has been found out as a weak link.

Get him replaced. Get a couple centre half’s in and sign another striker ffs

McGinn is what we've always thought - a 7/10 player in the SPL. He doesn't have enough at this level though, and 36 year old Daz as one of only 3 CBs was always a massive gamble, as is having only 2 trusted strikers in the squad.

We'll do fine in the league this year but we still feel miles away from getting anywhere in Europe.

[Stuart93]

What a clown you really are.

Takes one to know one bud 👍🏼

[hhibs]

Maybe not but he has certainly not been playing well for a good while now,we need more in our defence even if only to provide competion.

Said last week how they missed chances would kill us and nobody listened. As always we’ve self destructed and beat ourselves, because Rijeka are pish and up until the red card and gift of a second they were worse than Hibs.

Not McGregors fault he was bombed into the starting 11 when we’ve been after a centre half for months, or his fault the rest of the defence are also bang average.

If anything comes of this maybe RG will realise how far off it we are compared to where he is always telling us he he wants to be, and realise he needs to open his own wallet and perform open surgery to get us there. The nucleus is there but needs some major TLC at the back, we can be as exciting and lethal going forward against crap like Ross County but when your goalie and defence are Motherwell or Dundee standard you’ll always leak stupid goals.

Learning curve and we WILL be better next year

[Stuart93]

Mcginn turned inside out....again...

[BSEJVT]

The sands of time run out for us all eventually and tonight they did for Darren

Big big ask for someone who hasn’t played much football at all in last season and a bit to go in and compete at that level in that heat

I think we’re a good team, but this tie shows all of our deficiencies. Not clinical or ruthless enough and always capable of giving away cheap goals.

Over the course of a season we’re consistent, and I expect us to be challenging for 3rd again, but in cup competitions those failings stop us from taking the next step and being a special team rather than just a good one IMO.

Europe's a bonus that's went pear shaped. Let's hope this debacle speeds up the recruitment of at least a quality Center Back.

Europe is a cracking opportunity to bring much needed revenue into the club and should be treated with respect rather than as a bonus.

We're out because of our own actions, inactions and wastefulness.

For those criticising the moaners and the "toxic" atmosphere - football is an emotional game, positive and negative.

Tonight we shot ourselves firmly in the foot when we were in a position to get a very impressive result.

If you don't expect a bit of negativity, criticism and frustration after that then I don't know what exactly you do expect.

[Stuart93]

Haha, that the best you’ve got pal? Incredibly sad

This Croatian team is mediocre and has shown that we are not good enough for this level of football.

Isn't it mad how of defending has gotten softer with soft as ***** Hanlon out the team?

**** all to do with any sort of ***** Neil Lennon “boy band” patter. Everything to do with a few of our squad simply not being good enough.

Hate to say it but Lenny was right. Boy band mentality and it still exists. Our back four are woeful in possession. I include our inept captain in that. There’ll be a few clubs strikers in Scotland relishing playing against this lot.
We need a new captain CH with plenty experience to lead our club. Hanlon and Co have been at the heart of too many humiliations. Not good enough.

[Sir David Gray]

That was really pathetic tonight.

Some of the defending was farcical.

Lol, your no blaming mcginn for the goal just coz the guy crossed the ball are you?

Nisbet and Gogic was the ones to blame

Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

How many goals we conceaded this season that have came from McGinns side, quite a few already

[villahibs]

Defence is awful when we play decent sides. McGinn and Doig are both poor. They can’t defend. We literally never stop crosses coming into our box.

[CmoantheHibs]

A moment of stupidity by big Daz cost us.

[HibbyDave]

On a brighter note… I’m still sober and saved an absolute fortune by not being in Croatia.


We are crying out for a CB and a quality midfield player.

[Hibernia&Alba]

That was really pathetic tonight.

Yes, 4-1 is a scudding; we fell apart after the red card.

[hhibs]

Win a game and we're f***in awesome, lose a game and suddenly every one is ***** again and this and f***in that!
Some complete fannies on this site!


That really is just daft from you tonight ,it is entirely justifiable to highlight the good and in this case the bad,some would say the very bad.

[Pagan Hibernia]

A moment of stupidity by big Daz cost us.

and terrible wastefulness last week

[neil7908]

As I feared, it's Molde, Dnipro etc all over again. Decent home result followed by a doing away from home.

[J-C]

Strolled through and passes it past Macey, brutal result and performance, poor by Daz and amateur defending by the rest, after a couple of good attacking performances we land back to earth with a huge bump.

[mcfly]

Well, it was our best defensive record in 20 years last season so? Clearly not poor.

Mental this place still thinks 4 defenders are the only thing to blame for losing goals.

Wow you don’t think the defence is poor?

You must be on the wind up 🤣🤣

[Forever_Green93]

Our defence is stinking! The amount of crappy goals we have gave away recently is annoying af.

[Nicho87]

This Croatian team is mediocre and has shown that we are not good enough for this level of football.

We were the only team looking to good ahead at 1-1. We were dictating the play, mcgregor was foolish

Lack of squad depth and penny pinching for our run in Europe is what stopped it.

[.Sean.]

I’m not even raging we got beat, could take a pumping off a team with a clear European pedigree. But they were by and large crap and we gifted it them, with missed chances last week and being crap and soft at the back

[BSEJVT]

We have some really good players but what stops them being great players is that when the pressure is on they don’t deliver often enough

Boyle and Nisbet being prime examples

I don’t blame them for this but there is a reason a lot of our players are at Hibs and their inability to deal with that pressure more than their ability is it

[Since452]

Hopefully people will realise what Hanlon brings now

[SteveHFC]

We’ve learned a harsh lesson this evening.

We must learn from it, those involved tonight who are still here next time and from a recruitment point of view. If we aspire to reach the group stages we must recruit appropriately.

We never learn

[oldbiker]

pretty disappointed tonight, we blew it with a soft and daft sending off and then crumbled. hope there is not going to be a hangover now

Tonight’s result has nothing to do with “boy band mentality”. We were on top and looking good after the equaliser before McGregor chucks it and gets sent off. You include Hanlon in your post and he’s sat at home ffs 😂

We absolutely need better players in 3 positions, I’m sure Ross will be frustrated that we haven’t got them in yet.

[Stevie Reid]

Annoying. Up until a moment of absolute madness by our most experienced player, I feel we were the better team over the two legs. We were the more threatening home team and away team, in the respective legs, to that point.

Gutted. Huge opportunity blown.

[Coco Bryce]

The bottom line is we need a decent striker. We should have had this tie done and dusted at ER. Nisbet doesn't work hard enough for me.

[Johnny_Leith]

Well, it's disappointing but we'll have learnt some good lessons I think.

We definitely tried to attack too much from the off and made some poor choices, such as the botched free kick that cost McGregor his first yellow.

We had them on the ropes in the first leg and also when we scored tonight.

I don't think they're a bad side but not miles better than us. That's the standard of these qualifiers and with some shrewd signings and a bigger and better squad, we'll be well placed to do better next year.

Some individuals with a lot to prove. Macey made a good save but looked (one of many) culpable on the corner.

Mcginn has started the season poorly and tonight was a horror show. I appreciate that cadden was probably to be his main competition this season but I feel we need more options at RB.

McGregor, a very silly mistake that put us in a best impossible position.

Conceding so quickly after going down to 10 really killer us, if we could have held it at 1-1 for 5-10 who knows?

Oh and as for a hostile atmosphere as mentioned by the Croatian poster? 😂 Seen radger atmosphere at the links!

The tie really pivoted on dazs mistake and it going 2-1 straight away. Up until then there was little in it.

Disappointed, but we will bounce back. Every game is huge and a good cup run will help us get over it, bring in Killie.

[Block]

There's no doubt about it that the sending off changed that game. We had significantly stepped up and were beginning to control the game until Big Daz had a rush of blood to the head. Had a few passengers though tonight. Thought Nisbet, Boyler and McGinn were as poor as I've seen them. While JDH, Magennis and Murphy were impressive imo.

[Smartie]

Hopefully people will realise what Hanlon brings now

That's the first positive I've taken from the evening.

Never has it been more obvious.

[MJ hibs]

If we can get over a million for nisbet or doig go for it and get a CB and a CDM

[Bobo]

Pathetic from start to finish, just another, in a long line of, performances when we show little desire and bottle it when it matters most.

Watch the transfers out start to move quickly now. Whole new back 4 and keeper needed for me, what we've got are far from good enough.

[Spike Mandela]

They did to us what we should have done to them at ER. How on earth are Hibs the only team to have a man sent off over these two ties , unbelievable.:confused:

Embarrassing to be the first Scottish club out of Europe this season. Really makes a mockery of finishing third last year, what’s the point?:rolleyes:

[Hibernia&Alba]

The bottom line is we need a decent striker. We should have had this tie done and dusted at ER. Nisbet doesn't work hard enough for me.

I'm more worried about the defence.

[madhatter]

This might have opened Ron Gordon's eyes on how short we are.

We will get punished in the league as well for being this soft in defence. Far too easy to score against us.

Porteous was just as bad as McGinn, who were both as bad as McGregor minus the red.

So easy to get past Porteous, he rampages forward square on. He did that for the last goal there.

Porteous and McGregor as a pair are ragged at best. Both aggressive and don't hold a good defensive line.

McGinn isn't at this level unfortunately but didn't get helped by Boyle in the 2nd half.

[Just Alf]

That's the first positive I've taken from the evening.

Never has it been more obvious.Yup, 100%

[neil7908]

We never learn

Yup. We'll get into Europe again and be in the same position next year. We celebrate 3rd/4th but often feels like the prize (Europe) is an after thought. I'm not sure we truly believe we will go through. We certainly don't seem to plan for it judging by the bench tonight.

Unless we get to a cup final this was our biggest game of 2021/22. And the squad wasn't ready.

Thought we were the better team over the 2 legs funny enough. Still need a proper goal scorer and defender. Not fussed about going out we still aren’t savvy enough and never seem to learn from the defeats.

Reading some of the **** posted on here by so-called fans makes tonight one of those times.

Zero balance or analysis just greeting faced ****wits who mostly need to grow up.

A game changing moment of madness by Daz doesn't make the whole team crap.

Personally, I thought McGinn was really poor tonight but, again, one poor game doesn't make him a bad player.

[B.H.F.C]

Yes, 4-1 is a scudding; we fell apart after the red card.

We lack character in a situation like that. You see other teams lose a man, dig in and be hard to beat. We just implode. Remember being up at Aberdeen last game before Covid .cruising, Whittaker sent off, 3-1 down 10 minutes later.

[sorrow sorrow]

That team tonight is basically the same as last season’s and that is not progress.

Spot on☝🏻☝🏻 They have been in the Europa group stages constantly last few years! Most hibs fans didn’t expect us to go through tonight and we didn’t but over the piece, we played well in spells and if it wasn’t for awful mistakes/defending its cost us in a game that we were totally on top!

[Wakeyhibee]

Poor showing tonight against a team that are no great shakes but have a better mentality towards the modern game than Scottish football in general.

I'll probably be dead but when Scottish football wakes up to the fact that they teach poor technique designed for the SPFL and not the general footballing world, the better

[B.H.F.C]

Sean, they’ve scored 5 goals against us in 2 games. You can’t seriously believe they are crap? They’ve spanked us tonight, no mistake.

How many did we gift them? They are not a good European side. We blew that tie.

[franck sauzee]

Have to say I'm disappointed at 2-1 we haven't made any changes. Not expecting anything in terms of result at that point but Boyle, Murphy, Nisbet, Newell all looking tired. Get any of Gullan, Mackay, Campbell or Wright on and at least give us a chance to counter

[Alan62]

We've lost terrible goals this season. The defence is weak and the keeper is rotten. Other than that, things are looking up. :wink:

Seriously, though, we absolutely caved tonight. The heat would have something to do with it but Daz let his mates down tonight with an absolutely dreadful mistake at a time in the game when we looked like a threat.

I really don't rate Macey either.

[Since452]

Not the first time they've pumped a Scottish side. Can stamp our feet all we want and say we were the better team but we were taught a lesson by a streetwise European club. We were up against it from the off.

[EVENTUALLY]

Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Paul McGinn has had a difficult start to the season by his own very good standards. A bad mistake in Andorra led to
a goal against and he didn't start the Motherwell game very well, but Hibs won both games. He has been up against a very difficult opponent tonight and has found it tough. The Rijeka winger is a tricky player.

Moments prior to Daz screwing up he was struggling and bent over hand on his knees toiling for breath. He is generally a no nonsense type of CH and ought to have just launched the ball up the park instead of exposing his own weak short passing ability. It was a major game changer and I don't think Hibs would have survived the 90 mins even if they hadn't conceded at the corner.

Would have liked to have progressed in Europe but so far as I'm concerned learn the lessons and bounce back in the league and cup games at home.

I cant believe folk are telling me how bad we are, yet in the next breath they are saying how we were the better team?

We lost that tonight because we went down to 10 men, simple as that.

[PeeJay]

Seems to me that Rijeka were the better team over the two legs and a 5-2 aggregate score can hardly be argued with. They looked technically better, athletically, better, and tactically better to me, their passing game alone made us look poor. OK, they are not a great team, but our performance was lacking in urgency and any real sense of purpose - most of our players had a poor night. Too many bad decisions, poor crosses into the box and the less said about our "defence" (sic) the better ... yet another missed opportunity, bad night for the club.

Disappointing tonight but hopefully we learn. We are just not at euro level...yet. If we had scored when we were on top....if we didnt make that mistake etc. The fact is we didnt score when on top in the first game...we do make the mistakes. Thats the difference. People are pointing out there is not much difference between the teams... 5-2 says otherwise. Lets just beat killie on sunday and move on.
