Hibs v The Hun

I thought it was a penalty at first glance. Reaction of the Hibs players said otherwise. Would like to see it again.

We really should have freshened it up before now. That's not knee jerk either, I said it 15 minutes ago. Cadden and Doig were both done.

[Keith_M]

Blew it right at the end

[thebausburst]

I blame Ross for not making any subs, we’ve been struggling to keep the ball last 15m due to tiredness, now he makes the subs after we concede!!

We had the best of the second half, they had the best of the first, a draw would have still been a decent result. Instinctive from Porteous to flick at the ball but ultimately has cost us a point.

Subs could have been made earlier but Murphy and Allan don’t fit in to a team that is playing a midfield that need harassed closed down.

[CMac1988]

Bit of a sucker punch but trying to hold out for the draw and not bringing on fresh legs was as much too blame as Porteous' tackle or Hanlon's ***** pass. Up until that point we were solid and kept our shape well throughout. Annoying but we move on to the weekend.

All very well winning a semi final against them but our league record is poor. We defended fairly well and competed in midfield but are still a bit toothless up top, just lack that piece of guile that Allan/ Murphy gives you.

Our league form is 3pts from 21pts.

[Unseen work]

Fwiw I wouldn’t have made any subs either.

Thought we were playing better than them with Campbell having a good game.

Game was still to be decided and Allan or Murphy would’ve struggled to close them down as well as Campbell had.

We never lost due to tired legs.

[Heisenberg]

Ross should’ve made a change to try and win it. Dreadful from Hanlon and Porteous for the goal. We still looked poor going forward, very little threat.

[madhatter]

Sad but we needed a Josh Campbell on the bench to come on for Josh Campbell about 10mins earlier.

He's been doing very well at closing down space and putting opponent under pressure at the right time. Needs to keep that going but tired badly which is understandable as just finding his feet.

[Scorrie]

Can you tell me what’s negative about that?

[ekhibee]

Although I think most people would rightly say that Porteous is an excellent player for Hibs he makes really silly mistakes that almost inevitebly cost us. We didn't deserve to lose this game but the bottom line is that he cost us tonight.

[The Captain....]

Didn't play badly but I didn't enjoy watching it tbh.

You just know the ref will favour Rangers with a decision in games as tight as that. If that happens at the other end we all know he doesn't give it in Hibs favour.

Another defeat when all is said and done..with hindsight maybe Ross could have been a bit more positive after Rangers made their subs. I felt we gave up trying to attack them after that and were too deep.

In the top division as they said.

Thought we played very well for the most of it just didn't create any clear cut chances and Morelos header aside, we gave them very little. Sickener of a penalty to give away and we just went flat after that and had no chance.

It's clear we have nothing on the bench. Not a game for Allan at all. It was a battle in midfield and not a game for him. The rest I don't see them changing a game. Really missed doidge

Although I think most people would rightly say that Porteous is an excellent player for Hibs he makes really silly mistakes that almost inevitebly cost us. We didn't deserve to lose this game but the bottom line is that he cost us tonight.

I guess if we had played Darren rather than Ryan against Rangers you would say that he wouldn’t have got sent off twice, gifted them a goal at Hampden nor gifted them a late penalty tonight?

Maybe Ryan is in danger of becoming Rangers’ lucky mascot?

[Ray Donovan]

Very disappointing result.

I thought it was an even game and neither team really had a clear cut chance until the pen.

Definite pen for me. The minute Porteous sticks his leg out he's in big trouble.

If we don't give away the penalty then I'd have been pretty content giving as good as we got and getting a draw against Rangers considering how the game panned out.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Lack of quality in the final third. Can’t keep waiting until we are behind to get any players who might give you something on the park.

Only way they were scoring tonight was with a penalty.
Kent clearly dived but Porteous gave Beaton the excuse with his stupid challenge.
Ross clearly happy with draw hence no subs on to try and win it.
Hopefully big transfer window coming up.

[Lago]

That’s why Sunderland pumped him oot. Draw specialist at best.
Agree, plays safe and certainly played for a draw tonight, but I think he's bomb proof for the time being.

[90274]

It's clear that Jack Ross is the modern day Alex Miller. The lack of subs, being brave while the game was in the balance is what frustrates me with him.

He was clearly settling for a point. With the number of games we've had recently not to mention coming up it really is baffling why he didn't make any subs about 65mins in.

[loanheadhibby]

Only way they were scoring tonight was with a penalty.

He didn't dive, sucked Ryan in and he fell for it.
I rate Porteous but he is a slow learner and cost us a point.

[JJP]

Talking about the manager after that game is total nonsense. We aren’t expected to beat Rangers and it was a close game decided by a soft penalty.

[Unseen work]

The subs are baffling. Bring our best attacking players on at 1-0 and not when the games there for the taking.

Jack Ross is just too cautious and that’s why some fans won’t ever take to him. Go and try and win every game. Have some belief

For me if we took Murphy and Allan on with 15 minutes or so left to play we would have lost all control of the game and lost.

I think he was just happy with how we were controlling the game and thought one would land for us.

[Nicho87]

How far does it go until hibs genuianly consider Ross is the common denominator?

6 defeats in 7

Like, genuianly?

[Tyler Durden]

Porteous was tremendous right up til that moment. He actually didn’t need to rush in so much, McGinn was going to force Kent wide. Porteous had to stay central. As soon as he dives in and hangs the leg out, it’s always going to be a penalty.

Central midfield 3 were excellent IMO. Felt we should have stuck Boyle wide and had Murphy or Allan on up front. Cadden is very limited and wasn’t exactly being troubled defensively. I’d get Boyle wide on Saturday and Doidge back up top

[Daydreamer]

The camera view from behind the goal proves it was NOT a penalty!!!!

[Callum_62]

Whats this played for a draw *****?

We were competing well, hardly sitting with 11 behind the ball

We lost with a very soft penalty but we could have easily won it

They had almost no clear cut chances in the 2nd half due to our work rate and our structure

Easy to say change it now as we lost a penalty but I don't buy this playing for a draw

I sat through those Miller years and this as you say the modern version

[my left peg]

It’s not very often this season we have had players on the bench this season that can affect the game in the last third,so it’s hugely frustrating that the manager didn’t make any changes till we were behind,thirty minutes from Allan and or Murphy could have created something,now we will never know.

It basically comes down to only having a willingness to put a midfielder on who’ll contribute in the final third, once we’re losing. Been the case in the last three league games.

I thought the second half was similar to last Wednesday in that we were struggling to create anything then you’re asking them to rescue you when it’s too late.

Jack Ross is a keeper, hate hearing fans question him.

I think any Hibs manager whose side loses after it appears he’s settled for a point will take flak.

Any manager who loses after a calculated gamble to try and win a game will also take flak, but it’s a situation that will be accepted by a few more people.

Jack Ross is cautious. He’ll have his good days and his bad days but I don’t know if I’ll ever really believe in him or his Hibs sides.

Thought we played well. It was a pen all day long like, but to be fair it's one of those situations where the forwards in the driving seat and if you don't do anything you look just as bad. That's the nature of being a defender. Unfortunate, because I thought the entire defence was absolutely excellent otherwise.

Kent was in the driving seat and I have less of an issue with the way the penalty incident came about than the 30 seconds or so that led up to it.

[PPZPOL]

It's soft as ****. Just cos it's contact doesn't make it a foul. Brother Beaton couldn't wait to give it.

Ryan did well to pull out of the challenge, Unfortunately, if someone runs into you there will be contact. It's just another game where Sevco needed the help of the match officials. We all expected it. That's how Scottish football operates.

Nonsense. Stonewaller.

[CmoantheHibs]

I think tonight showed our lack of depth on the bench. The hun put on arfield for Davies which meant he played further forward and made them more of a threat attacking wise but weaker defensively. It made the game open up and I think JR would have liked to bring on someone to give us fresh legs in midfield or / and up front that would have still kept us solid and allowed us to attack them quickly when we got the ball. I don’t think that we had anyone on the bench that fitted that mould although Magennis or Hallberg would have if fit. The game was in the balance and thats why in my opinion he didn’t change it sooner.

[Bishop Hibee]

Not much in it. Matched them all over the park until the penalty. Didn’t deserve to lose but didn’t do enough to win. I hate the Rangers.

[brianmc]

That game was there for the taking tonight. 20 minutes to go, well on top, THAT was the time to get the subs on and go win it.

Sadly jr reverted to type: wait, wait, wait...... Lose a goal, desperately throw on the subs.

Too late Jack, too late. Again!

Should've been 3 points, could've been 1 point - turned into zero largely due to the dithering on the sidelines.

Porteous was outstanding right up till the second he cost us the game and after that it doesn’t matter how good he was. Needs to cut out these errors.

U am not a JR fan but we needed fresh defensive mid players on for the last fifteen followed by Scott Allan for the last ten. We didnt have all that on the bench. He knew it and waited until we were behind before replacing two box to box players. With our bench I would have done the same.

Made 5 or 6 excellent tackles and set up two of our best chances: the quick run in behind from the thrown in where he took an excellent touch and played it across the box and goldson just got to it before Boyle, and the through ball for nisbet which he should have taken on his left but opted to cut inside and got tackled.

Not sure what game you were watching to say he has zero substance, was our best player on the park tonight imo and was involved heavily both defensively and going forward.

Spot on. Neither team took very good care of the ball in possession, but I couldn't care less about Rangers and it was very disappointing to see Cadden and Doig often beat themselves. Rangers sat much deeper tonight as they were scared of Boyle running away from them again but Hibs never used the extra room in midfield to build possession with poor ball retention. Rangers were there for the taking and Murphy and Allan should have been given more time to try and win the game. Poor game management from Ross.
