League Cup Final - Hibernian FC v Some inferior tribute act

[Off the bar]

C’mon Hibs let’s do this!

[cabbageandribs1875]

wonder why the stewards are lined up the stairs at that section where the sellick fans are near the corner down their end

[Saint Hibee]

Where’s the subs?!?!

[silverhibee]

Im not expecting us to start dominating but we will get a chance or two.

Yeah, just got to take it when it comes to us.

[Mr Grieves]

Beaton is a ****ing erse

[Off the bar]

Pity, we need him on the pitch!!!

yasssssssssssssssssssssss :flag::flag::flag::flag::flag:

[silverhibee]

Corner Hibs.

[tomhorn]

Beaton is clueless. Minor thing, but even the fact he has opted for a black uniform which clashes with Celtic kit. Could have literally chosen any colour.

[Hibrandenburg]

****ing yeeeees

[Greenio]

Corner!

Ya dancer!

[CMac1988]

We are all Paul Hanlon!

Goal Hibs .:flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag:

[Scorrie]

Daylight robbery!!!!😂😃😃😃

[Tambo]

Ya beauty captain Paul Hanlon.

[...WentToMowAnSPL]

we're winning this

i can feel it in my stella:flag:

It's a cunning plan - instead of trying really hard and loosing it - we are playing the "Play ***** and steal it" . Interesting

[Pretty Boy]

Get ****ing in there. Had to be Hanlon.

That Starfelt is utter pish BTW, how much did Celtic pay for him😂😂😂

[Greenio]

Yasssss

[Off the bar]

Yessssssss

[sleeping giant]

Goals Hanlon

[madhatter]

Hanlon has been class in this game so far.

FFS are you actually joking me? Hideous defending. Porteous caught under the ball.

Came from nowhere, jeezo who expected that one

And just like that ffs. Schoolboy football.

[Sir David Gray]

Sorry but that's ridiculous losing a lead like that.

[HendoDelivered]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 wtf

[worcesterhibby]

[Coco Bryce]

Next goal the winner.

[007]

Was it definitely onside?

[cabbageandribs1875]

our goal scorer getting the blame for the equaliser

[wallpaperman]

I am certain he was offside when the ball was passed.

[Swedish hibee]

Ecstasy & Agony in the same minute.

[Pretty Boy]

Celtic are so bad at the back. Get in about them!

[cabbageandribs1875]

i don't think i've ever saw a quicker equaliser in football

[cameronw-hfc]

Looked like it came over an out of position Porto not Hanlon

[Iain G]

I am certain he was offside when the ball was passed.

I thought so!

[ian cruise]

Commentary team blaming Hanlon for the goal but considering the shift he's put in, doing everything himself so far for Hibs, I'm finding it hard to blame him too much.

[Saint Hibee]

Please get Murphy off, so negative.

[neil7908]

Was it definitely onside?

Yup. Really, really poor defensively

[Off the bar]

Looked like it came over an out of position Porto not Hanlon

That’s how I saw it.

[NC1875]

It was Offside surely

[ancient hibee]

must get doidge on and get the ball into their box

[neil7908]

Please get Murphy off, so negative.

I agree. I think injuries and age have caught up with him. Desperately need another option out wide.

[lyonhibs]

We have lots of players on the pitch, but very few of them are where they need to be, when they need to be there. Especially midfield and full backs.

[madhatter]

Commentary team blaming Hanlon for the goal but considering the shift he's put in, doing everything himself so far for Hibs, I'm finding it hard to blame him too much.

Definitely more Porteous' fault than Hanlon's. Porteous gets caught under the ball far too often. Watches the ball too often.

[leithsansiro]

Second half looks much more open, either side could have a goal or two in them. We badly need something different though. Murphy isn’t offering anything and every second ball seems to be Celtic’s. We need to get someone in midfield who has a bit of bite and energy about them

[madhatter]

Murphy...horrendous performance so far.

[worcesterhibby]

Commentary team blaming Hanlon for the goal but considering the shift he's put in, doing everything himself so far for Hibs, I'm finding it hard to blame him too much.

Very harsh, his heart must have been beating out of his chest after scoring too.

[Mantis Toboggan]

Murphy is really poor. No chance of a new contract. Time to make a change, no point sticking

[cabbageandribs1875]

starfelt misses another great chance

[Pretty Boy]

Very open now. Rogic running the show a bit again, he's an annoyingly good player.

We just need to keep plugging away. The effort is there for the most part and we will get another chanc against this defence.

[Tambo]

Subs could be needed soon. Two chances there for Celtic.

[madhatter]

Porteous is shocking at marking at set pieces. Just falls asleep.

[GRA]

Celtic goal looked offside to me initially..... need to see it again.

[The_Exile]

Yeah this is a cup final, stop pissing about and make some positive changes here now.

[leithsansiro]

Cadden and Doidge are the only realistic options on the bench to make a fundamental difference to this game. As much as I’d love wee Scotty Allan to come on and bring some magic, I don’t think he’s what we need.

Maybe it’s time for James Scott and Drey Wright to become heroes…

[cabbageandribs1875]

i've not heard murphy mentioned once after 15 mins of the 2nd half

[Tambo]

Much better from Hibs. Free kick.

[Pretty Boy]

Better passage of play there. That's what we need to see more of. Keep the ball, move it and don't try to force it.

[lyonhibs]

Yes, somebody in midfield capable of passing the ball is certainly not what's needed here......

[Pretty Boy]

WTF is that from Murphy? All the space in the world and chips it right into Harts hands.

[J-C]

Porteous is shocking at marking at set pieces. Just falls asleep.

Yep, Starfelt should've scored with that header.

[Swedish hibee]

Hibs Hibs Hibs 🇳🇬🇳🇬

[stokesmessiah]

It’s not…right on the line but it is onside.

[PolmontHibby]

Finally a bit of service to wings - taken 60+ minutes.
More of the same please.

[Tambo]

Going against the grain here but get Scott on for Murphy.

[cabbageandribs1875]

it's been a rather comfortable 65 mins for the sellick defenders

[Tambo]

Doidge for Nisbet also. I don't see us going two up top.

[where'stheslope]

Hanlon keeping us in this game!!

[007]

it's been a rather comfortable 65 mins for the sellick defenders

Apart from when they let in a goal.

[Hibrandenburg]

Nisbet should have passed that

[cabbageandribs1875]

starfelt mistake, if only we could put pressure on him more often

[Pretty Boy]

Get at Starfelt, get at Starfelt, get at Starfelt.

The guys a disaster.

[The_Exile]

Our first touch has been really poor from front to back, just invites pressure and losing possession so cheaply at times.

[Saint Hibee]

Great play Nisbet.

[Hibrandenburg]

Looks like Hibs are scared to put in a tackle.

[cabbageandribs1875]

macey's first kick of the day to go straight out

[J-C]

Pass inside you greedy ******* Nisbet

Absolutely pathetic defending again

[worcesterhibby]

not a free kick and we were bringing a sub on.

Jeez neither Hanlon nor Porteous watching.

[Pretty Boy]

That's criminal defending. Both of them sleeping, I assume they were waiting on the sub but you can't do that.

Did we learn nothing from the game at ER? Kyogo bounces about on the shoulder all day. You have to deal with that.

[The Spaceman]

Special goal by a special player unfortunately. That’s why we wanted him to miss this one with his injury.

That defending is an absolute disgrace. Doesn't matter whether you feel hard done by with the decision, you remain fully concentrated. Caught in a coma there, never mind sleeping.

[Tambo]

Beaton has had another shocker. Definitely didn't want Hibs to have a chance after the semi.

[HendoDelivered]

Yikes

[lyonhibs]

That second goal is even worse than the first to concede. Wow.

[neil7908]

Two of the simplest goals you'll ever see - just a ball over the top and our defence have disappeared.

The sad thing is we've generally defended well and this Celtic team are nothing special.

[silverhibee]

Hibs f*** it up with the sub, they want to take it but Alan not ready so ref says get on with it and they score while our CBS are sleeping.

Comedy stuff from us. Lose a goal 30 seconds after taking the lead and then another to a punt up the park. This team has no ****ing heart or steel.

[Swedish hibee]

Never a foul

[madhatter]

Get Murphy off ffs. He's jogging around looking clueless. Not beaten a man all day either. No contribution at either end of the pitch.

Playing with 10 men would offer more on the left.

This performance by Murphy is entering "Alan O'Brien at Tynecastle" territory for chicken heartedness.

Seeing that second goal again not sure what Macey was playing at. No man’s land

Murphy is like a luxury player still trying to find his fitness after the summer break.

[cabbageandribs1875]

double sub

[where'stheslope]

Now we're going bold up front, they will catch us on the break.

[Tambo]

Lol no free kick there? Looked it.

[Pretty Boy]

I'm absolutely convinced we will get one big chance here. I just hope we don't concede again before it comes.

[cabbageandribs1875]

SDG saw fit to leave murphy on for 80 mins, i just don't get it

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Now we're going bold up front, they will catch us on the break.

Go down fighting not capitulating

Have we ever got anybody in the box back post……ever

[Off the bar]

C’mon Hibs just one big chance. That’s all we need

[worcesterhibby]

Gray has just literally started his career as a coach, I'd be surprised if he's only just done his 1at badges enough to get him on the 1st ring of the ladder. Who was coaching the defence last season when Gray was a player, this poor defending isn't something new.

Hibs set up with no intention of trying to win the cup by taking the game to a ***** celtic side and were ultimately undone with poor refereeing decisions as per usual.
