Hibernian v Celtic

[Paulie Walnuts]

Not for you. You don't set foot in Easter Road

Season ticket for 25 years but aye, nae bother.

Maybe I should rip the heed off it to how good our catholic brothers are to convince you.

[Scottie]

I hope in my lifetime some team out with the 2 arse cheeks stick it to them. I ******g hate Sellick as much as the Huns.

[Since452]

Would be a shame if a very decent performance turns into a drubbing.

[Callum_62]

I'm. Still no convinced on the pen altho can see why it's given

Anyone who's changes directontion quickly 180 naturally causes the leading arm to come up

I think its harsh to be honest

I'm. Almost certain if celtic got that against rangers they would be talking about natural body movements

This is a pretty exceptional Celtic team we’re watching here, comfortably winning the league without question.

It’s not excusing things, but it’s a factor. That and, as usual, not taking chances presented to us. But it’s hardly been the tummy tickling we got at park head.

[SteveHFC]

We really need a new right back in January.

Would give Miller a chance when he’s back.

[HH81]

Triple change incoming

[Pretty Boy]

Big Rocky has been good for us again. I'd have him as MOTM by a fair way.

[Sir David Gray]

4-0

[The_Exile]

We really need a new right back in January.

I wouldn't go dismantling the team based on a game against a team that's light years infront of everybody else in the country.

Edit: 4-0. I might need to reconsider the above.

It’s not been a decent performance unless you count the first 10 mins. Is that what we are rating performances on now??

[Paulie Walnuts]

This is an abomination.

[CMac1988]

They're just too good it's fine. We should be happy with how we've played...

He loves making loads of changes at a time rather than one or two doesn’t he?

Nisbet misses a sitter and they go up the park and score again, albeit from a penalty. They are clinical and we need about five chances a game to score most weeks.

This is going to end up six or seven.

Getting silly now.

The first half hour shouldn't excuse what has gone on since. It's not lack of effort, it's a lack of quality. Carbon copy of Ibrox really, started well but totally fell out the game after 30-40 minutes.

[The Captain....]

Absolutely ****ing embarrassing defending tonight. What the **** do they do in training the useless *****.

Cadden and Hanlon dreadful for some of these goals. Really bad defensively.

[Stuart93]

“We’ve learnt our lesson” they were all saying hahaha

****ing embarrassing. All talk.

Get beat from hearts and empty Jonson

Their penalty is so unlucky, the hand ball rule is so ****ing grey. Officiating in this country is enough to put you off the sport all together.

We need to shut up shop now, before it gets worse. Keep the score down and move on.

This could be 6 or 7 by the end. Damage limitation needed by LJ so he sticks on Mckirdy and mcGeady ?????

[CapitalGreen]

Hanlon looked like he was away to try and catch a bus going down Easter Road.

[He's here!]

This could be a repeat of Celtic's 9-0 scoreline at Tannadice.

[LunasBoots]

Far to open and done nothing to address it, could get very embarrassing

[madhatter]

In correct place. Hanlon created a massive hole by running out to the wing...no idea what he was doing. Wasn't tracking any run. Marking invisible man.

[Since452]

You almost can’t hide your delight.

What should I do? jump up and down and stamp my feet?

[CmoantheHibs]

No idea what Hanlon was doing there. This is what happens when you try to play the best team in the country at their own game. Nothing learnt from Parkhead.

[Jones28]

Hanlon lost the man.

Or alternatively, Kyogo’s movement was superb.

[Stuart93]

We canny defend **** all

[Northernhibee]

This could be a repeat of Celtic's 9-0 scoreline at Tannadice.
No it couldn’t.

[Heisenberg]

LJ should’ve gone down the sheep route and stuck the full team on the edge of our own box for 90 minutes. Would’ve had stick but probably kept the score down.

[RIP]

Season ticket for 25 years but aye, nae bother.

Ach, it's Celtic, we've not to bother about getting thumped at home. They're dead good don't you know.

No doubt LJ will take lots of positives from yet another defeat.

Could easily end up 7-0 which would probably mean the sack for LJ.

To be fair it could already be close to that with the misses in 1st half.

Invariably, whenever we concede a goal he's either on his arse or posted missing.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

If you want anything from Celtc, you have to take your chances,not make any basic mistakes and get a bit of good luck.

[Biggie]

Alan Muir was quick spotting that one yet he didn't see the one at Ibrox when he was on Var

Exactly...quick off the mark there....

[neil7908]

There isn’t a team in this league - Rangers included - that Celtic couldn’t rip apart when they want to.

Sorry but that's bollocks. They are a good side, I don't go into games against them expecting to win but they are not smashing teams. Check their results. They are on for their biggest win since, guess what, they beat us 6-1.

Livi, Aberdeen, Ross County and Motherwell have lost by a goal against them in recent years games.

Our aggregate is 1-10 with plenty time left in this game. That's ****ing embarrassing.

[He's here!]

We need to shut up shop now, before it gets worse. Keep the score down and move on.

Yep, with United winning we're very much back in the relegation mix. We'll likely take a pasting in the derby too so it's maybe best just to write these games off and focus on beating the lesser lights to ensure we avoid the drop. The win over Livi showed we can at least do that.

Guaranteed all of those teams parked the bus and defended for 90 minutes. LJ is too glued to his “philosophy” when it will only end one way against this team and with the players we’ve got.

That’s twice in 3 games that Hanlon has been hooked, his days as a starter must be numbered now.

[CMac1988]

We don't have the players. Keep playing like we do and it's no wonder we get pumped most weeks. Johnson is just as much too blame as anyone else at the club.

Section 40 row C see you soon 👍🏼

[ionahibby]

Not quite sure why we signed Mckirdy if he can’t get a start.

[Crunchie]

We came out and had a go, I'd rather see that than the display at Pittodrie by the sheep, on another day we could have scored first and got something out of this. In Johnson I trust.

[NC1875]

He’s ****ing useless and should be nowhere near the starting eleven. One of many problems with this team, and people are only starting to realise. He’s finished

And yet if he sits in and tries to defend we’d definitely lose the game, because we can’t defend, he’d get slated for that.

I’d rather get beat having a go than get beat sitting in and defending like Aberdeen the other night.

[GreenCastle]

Well he will probably start at Tynie as Porto is suspended.

I'll say it again - that's 1-10 against them over 2 games, with time left to make it worse.

Surely losing by 1 goal means you are much more in the game and likely to nick something than us losing by 4?

We can't keep getting gubbed and saying it's OK cause we had a go. The scorelines don't show that's the case.

They have walked this one - we were never in it and if he keeps setting us up this way his job will be in serious danger.

We have a squad of players who are only capable of playing decent for around 25 mins in each game, unfortunately they play that 25 mins at different times of the game, too many disappear when the 1st goal goes in against us, very little fight or spirit, we need to be more ugly when playing, too nice and polite.

I think the only reason Ron Gordon won't sack him is because he's sacked 2 in just over 12 months and by sacking a third it's basically admitting he's made an absolute shambolic mess of it.

He's won 7 games in the league. 5 of those came against sides who went down to 10 men. Most early in the game. So only 2 wins against sides that managed to keep 11 on the park.

I've defended LJ long enough in that I've spent most of my time blaming recruitment and upper management. However his non reaction to Rangers turning things around last week had alarm bells ringing. If he fails to get a result against Hearts then I'd struggle to find any reason to keep him on. If he goes then others need to also.

[Northernhibee]

😂😂 Quite incredible, the run of results before the World Cup break fair enough, but two losses against Rangers and a dominant Celtic side aren’t a fair judgment of a manager.

Weve been on worse runs and he’s not even in the bottom ten Hibs managers. Possibly not even twenty.

We were always getting humped tonight. This team are a country mile ahead of anyone else in the league. You could put together the best eleven players from the other eleven teams in the league and they’d struggle.

[Onion]

Right so let’s sit in and lose by 2. Happy now?

Oh and by the way we didn’t even cross the half way line because we were so madly defensive.

It doesn't work though. What's the definition of insanity again? Oh yeah, setting your team out for these games in the same way time and time again, getting cuffed and expecting things to magically change next time.

There is a balance to be found against the OF. Its not easy but we can't keep losing to them by 4, 5 or 6 goals and expect to keep fans happy.

[Jones28]

10-1 aggregate score says it all.

Says what? That a team with 20 times our budget score 10 times more goals than us?

[Gatecrasher]

Clear the whole ****ing club out, owner, c/e, scouting, manager, coaching and start again pleae.

[Pretty Boy]

We could with a Home Bargains version of Calum McGregor.

Keeps everything alive for them and moves the ball back into an attacking position when it breaks down.

[Broken Gnome]

He's absolutely dreadful. He's never been a good player but he's a liability now.

You mean that you've never liked him as a player.

Daft exaggeration doesn't help your point.

[GreenCastle]

The lack of spine is coming from a few on this board wanting him gone.

Keep LJ and lowest ST sales in a long time next season unless we seriously improve which isn’t looking likely.

Johnson is too nice. Players don’t respect him and the team is poorly set out and with a soft spine.

We are awful and the occasional win against 10 players won’t change my mind.

[Crunchie]

****ing mental :faf::faf:
Away play your football managers game.

[Pretty Boy]

Says what? That a team with 20 times our budget score 10 times more goals than us?

They had 10 times our budget when they couldn't beat us at ER in the league for years as well.

No one disputing how good Celtic are but our regression in the last couple of years is frightening.

[supermcginn]

You mean that you've never liked him as a player.

Daft exaggeration doesn't help your point.

It's not an exaggeration. He's rotten and always has been.

[Stuart93]

We’re absolutely ****ing awful

So’s the manager

So’s the players

[supermcginn]

😂😂

Laughable. Absolutely laughable.

Yes he is.

[Jones28]

It doesn't work though. What's the definition of insanity again? Oh yeah, setting your team out for these games in the same way time and time again, getting cuffed and expecting things to magically change next time.

There is a balance to be found against the OF. Its not easy but we can't keep losing to them by 4, 5 or 6 goals and expect to keep fans happy.

Twice is not repeatedly. Twice is not a pattern. We played a different formation tonight to the team that played at Celtic Park for starters.

The day we conduct ourselves like Goodwins Aberdeen is the day I turn off to Hibs altogether.

[blackpoolhibs]

Who in their right mind thought Henderson was good enough to play for us?:confused:

[SHODAN]

Rocky, Youan and Marshall did ok.

Everyone else - lol

[B.H.F.C]

Seen Celtic come to ER with some proper top players and they’ve always been given a game. We’ve always been competitive.

This lot let this Celtic team run round them. No attempt to make it difficult for them. No fight. No desire. No belief. No anything. No even a yellow card because we can’t actually get close enough to foul.

[Since452]

Who in their right mind thought Henderson was good enough to play for us?:confused:

Shaun Maloney.

[jeffers]

Keep LJ and lowest ST sales in a long time next season unless we seriously improve which isn’t looking likely.

Too nice ? The guy is an utter prick who’d eat himself if he was made of chocolate.

[Jones28]

Yes he is.

I hope you get a wee ping of regret every time you see him holding the Scottish cup.

[HFC 0-7]

If Rangers lose by as many next week nobody would bat an eyelid.

Yeah, but they are not on a terrible run of something like 8 defeats in the last 10.

[Donegal Hibby]

This Celtic team are every bit as good or better than Rodgers team. Different level to even Rangers.
Agree , Ange postecoglou has build a outstanding team . Think we have looked ok at times and won't be up against this kind of opposition every week.

[Paulie Walnuts]

We’re absolutely ****ing awful

So’s the manager

So’s the players

Aye but if you asked celtic they’d say we were the best team they’ve played apparently :faf:

[Jones28]

They had 10 times our budget when they couldn't beat us at ER in the league for years as well.

No one disputing how good Celtic are but our regression in the last couple of years is frightening.

This Celtic side would pump that Celtic side IMO, and we also had an exceptional side in that period, especially in the midfield.

Regression, no one would deny that in fairness.

[CMac1988]

Away play your football managers game.

You can't come on and say this place is mental then go on to say LJ should be given 2 to 3 years. I'd love for you to explain what he's shown that makes you think this.

7 league wins, 5 against 10 men. Pumped out the league cup against lower league teams. He's got a ***** record. Loses against Hearts which seems inevitable and he'll be gone. Only thing keeping him in a job at the minute is the fact that Ron will have to accept that he and his son have made an arse of things also. Can't be having that so best to hide away whilst they **** about in the background. That poster saying there was changes happening at that level is the only positive thing I've heard about the club in months.

[Jones28]

Too nice ? The guy is an utter prick who’d eat himself if he was made of chocolate.

Ffs.

[Mutu]

Celtic have won 18 of their 19 games this season.

They're playing in their own league.

[J-C]

Away play your football managers game.


You're the one coming out with ridiculous statements saying 2-3 years, what exactly are you seeing from Johnson that makes you think he has the ability to turn this around and make us a team capable of challenging for 3rd and even making the games against the OF at least competitive.

You do realise FM isn't real life and is a computer game, lets say I've been watching football for over 55 years, enough time to gauge what a good player or manager looks like.

[Real Emerald]

It’s hard to judge against this Celtic side but we are not very good. We could do with a proper right back along with a decent centre half, centre mid, a striker, another Boyle etc.

[Basildon Hibs]

We’re absolutely ****ing awful

So’s the manager

So’s the players

👍😃

[He's here!]

Seen Celtic come to ER with some proper top players and they’ve always been given a game. We’ve always been competitive.

This lot let this Celtic team run round them. No attempt to make it difficult for them. No fight. No desire. No belief. No anything. No even a yellow card because we can’t actually get close enough to foul.

We've suffered plenty of heavy defeats at ER to Celtic, even when we've been a better team. The reason we didn't make it difficult tonight for Celtic isn't because we didn't try. We're just not good enough and the scoreline was simply an accurate reflection of the gulf between the sides.

Our focus for the rest of this season is staying above the relegation zone, not challenging Celtic.

[GreenCastle]

Hibs teams in the 70s regularly conceded 4, 5 or 6 to this mob, and we were a good team back then. **** happens people.

It’s nearly 2023.

Like it or not Hibs have a generation of fans who don’t like the we are just Hibs it’s happened before accept it.

Football is expensive and fans put a lot of £ into the club.

They don’t expect to win every game but compete to a certain level.

Tonight we looked like a Championship side playing a Premier league side.

We have some really poor players who simply aren’t good enough.

[Northernhibee]

Celtic have won 18 of their 19 games this season.

They're playing in their own league.
Yep.

I’ve no idea what people were expecting. Plenty teams taken far worse thrashings from them this season and plenty more will.

[Gatecrasher]

Yep.

I’ve no idea what people were expecting. Plenty teams taken far worse thrashings from them this season and plenty more will.

This is the bar now. How low can we go?

[Broken Gnome]

It's not an exaggeration. He's rotten and always has been.

Total bollocks, and not much further argument needed.

Absolutely not disputing that we need better of course.

[Silky]

Yeah, but they are not on a terrible run of something like 8 defeats in the last 10.

Ahh, the old "yeah, but" response. He has a point to be fair. It may not fit the narrative, but he makes a reasonable point.

[Crunchie]

You're the one coming out with ridiculous statements saying 2-3 years, what exactly are you seeing from Johnson that makes you think he has the ability to turn this around and make us a team capable of challenging for 3rd and even making the games against the OF at least competitive.

You do realise FM isn't real life and is a computer game, lets say I've been watching football for over 55 years, enough time to gauge what a good player or manager looks like.
You're the one who compared a Hibs players rating on FM a while back to his form in real life. I don't play silly computer games, and at your age I'd suggest you shouldn't either.

[loanheadhibby]

I hope you get a wee ping of regret every time you see him holding the Scottish cup.

That was 6 years ago .
It's sad watching him now, he's been a great Hibs servant.
.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I thought we played okay first half. It was so difficult to compete, however, and the some of the defending was very poor. We are amidst a very tough sequence of games, so there is mitigation for the manager, but eight defeats in ten games doesn't cut it. We need to find a few wins.

[Trinity Hibee]

Yep.

I’ve no idea what people were expecting. Plenty teams taken far worse thrashings from them this season and plenty more will.

People are expecting us to compete, make it difficult like many teams in the league have done. We’ve lost 10-1 on agg over 2 games. Pish!

[Stuart93]

Celtic have won 18 of their 19 games this season.

They're playing in their own league.

Could’ve at least gave them a game

[Chorley Hibee]

Season ticket for 25 years but aye, nae bother.

Maybe I should rip the heed off it to how good our catholic brothers are to convince you.

This Celtic team aren't anywhere near as good as an O'Neill side, a Rodgers side or even some of Lennon's teams.

You only need to see their pathetic performances in Europe to see that.

People cracking one off to this lot are oblivious to how chronic the rest of this league is, probably the worst standard this century outside Celtic.

I'd expect most teams to beat Hibs unfortunately, we rarely beat anyone unless we get a favourable sending off in our favour.

Monday will be yet another spineless capitulation too.

[Northernhibee]

People are expecting us to compete, make it difficult like many teams in the league have done. We’ve lost 10-1 on agg over 2 games. Pish!
People are delusional if they think we can compete with Celtic outwith them having a terrible day at the office.

[loanheadhibby]

Who in their right mind thought Henderson was good enough to play for us?:confused:

Here’s a thought, we’ll likely be relying on him, Campbell and Newell in a relegation dogfight.

[Mcbizz1998]

Meh. We had a go but ultimately they are light years ahead of every team in this league bar the Huns, who they are still miles ahead of.

More important games to come.

[Crunchie]

Could’ve at least gave them a game
We did give them a game, wtf were you watching the first 15 minures. I thought we were unlucky early doors, once they score it becomes difficult.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Yep.

I’ve no idea what people were expecting. Plenty teams taken far worse thrashings from them this season and plenty more will.

No, plenty teams haven’t. Only Kilmarnock and Dundee United have managed worse than that. Oh, and us on a seperate occasion.

[loanheadhibby]

People are delusional if they think we can compete with Celtic outwith them having a terrible day at the office.

Agree somewhat but they go to Livi, Aberdeen, Tynie and they get a real tough game. They come to Easter Road and it’s a canter at worst. They don’t even get out of 3rd gear.

[Silky]

People are expecting us to compete, make it difficult like many teams in the league have done. We’ve lost 10-1 on agg over 2 games. Pish!

Like Goodwin's Aberdeen? Total defensive anti-football? That's pish. And I hope I never, ever, see a Hibs team play like that.

[Carheenlea]

An element of misfortune with the first three goals - break of the ball falls perfectly plum for a Celtic strike from relative close range, slip from Cadden for second to start the (admittedly uncontested) run before finishing and the penalty a deflected ball which unfortunately resulted in Stevenson handling. The fourth was basically the kind of goal you lose when 3 down.

A bright and very encouraging start though, but ultimately a bit of a mismatch when Celtic are handed goals on a plate and they gather momentum that is unassailable for our level.

Didn’t expect to win, and won’t lose a whole lot of sleep over it. Derby a million times more important so we need to quickly forget about this one and focus on putting things right against a side much closer to our level.

[eastmainsmsh]

Abysmyl Maeda had a free hold on left disappointing after Saturday

[Paulie Walnuts]

We did give them a game, wtf were you watching the first 15 minures. I thought we were unlucky early doors, once they score it becomes difficult.

Remind me how long the game lasts?

[SeanWilson]

We did give them a game, wtf were you watching the first 15 minures. I thought we were unlucky early doors, once they score it becomes difficult.

We didnt. Playing ok for 15 minutes, isn’t giving a team a game 😂

[Mcbizz1998]

This Celtic team aren't anywhere near as good as an O'Neill side, a Rodgers side or even some of Lennon's teams.

You only need to see their pathetic performances in Europe to see that.

Monday will be yet another spineless capitulation too.

Maybe they aren’t as good as the teams mentioned but the gap between them and the rest of the teams is just as big, if not bigger.

There is nothing between us and 10 other teams in, we are way off rangers and even further off Celtic.

[Crunchie]

Remind me how long the game lasts?
We score first which we should have done it's a different game. I'll let you lot post how shire we are though, you seem to get a kick out of it.

[Trinity Hibee]

Like Goodwin's Aberdeen? Total defensive anti-football? That's pish. And I hope I never, ever, see a Hibs team play like that.

Is there not a horses for courses element? We couldn’t defend if our lives depended on it so sitting in wouldn’t make a blind bit of difference.

A result against Celtic isn’t going to define a season on its own but we are being hammered which isn’t far off what happens to teams that get relegated. Not that I’m saying we will be relegated but we are so far off where we should be it’s unreal. A defeat in the derby ends of European ambitions and a defeat in the cup to the will spell the end for LJ. We are such a state it’s unreal

[Mutu]

Could’ve at least gave them a game

Looks like we tried?

Good start then Celtic's quality took over. We missed a sitter to make it 2-1 and were then punished.

[He's here!]

We didnt. Playing ok for 15 minutes, isn’t giving a team a game 😂

If we could give Celtic a game we'd be challenging them for the title. We tried hard enough tonight but we're just miles off their quality.

[J-C]

You're the one who compared a Hibs players rating on FM a while back to his form in real life. I don't play silly computer games, and at your age I'd suggest you shouldn't either.


What the actual **** are you talking about? So is playing a football simulation game now limited to age, when did that happen?

Being my age I'll do what the **** I want to do without comments from someone on a message board with a fake name like Crunchie ffs.

[Trinity Hibee]

We score first which we should have done it's a different game. I'll let you lot post how shire we are though, you seem to get a kick out of it.

Wtf? We didn’t score first, we didn’t give them a game and we have now lost 8 out of 10 of whatever it is. How can that be defended?

[Carheenlea]

Like Goodwin's Aberdeen? Total defensive anti-football? That's pish. And I hope I never, ever, see a Hibs team play like that.

I’d honestly rather watch us play an entertaining brand of football in the championship than watch us play anti football to grind out results for survival in the manner of Goodwin in the SPL.

Shouldn’t come to that if we stick to our guns and persevere with a positive philosophy. Football should always win in the end.

[The Baldmans Comb]

It was a free hit against a vastly superior team so a defeat was more or less inevitable though the Wideo didn't help our cause much by bumming Celtic up pre match as world beaters but other than that and not changing anything at half time there was no way to avoid that outcome.

He is one heavy defeat or 2/3 more bad results from the sack as the decision will then have to be made as to whether a used car salesman can fight and win a relegation battle.

I have long thought he can't and hopefully Ron and his laddie think similar as well as looking deeply at themselves in the mirror.

[Jones28]

Hanlon getting a doing on sky for the 4th goal.

Bushiri not too clever but imo it’s Hanlon going left the gives Kyogo the space to score.

[Paulie Walnuts]

We score first which we should have done it's a different game. I'll let you lot post how shire we are though, you seem to get a kick out of it.

That’s about the most meaningless post I’ve ever seen. If we scored 2nd, 3rd or 4th it’s a different game as well. We didn’t though. Using imaginary scenarios to defend the indefensible is nonsense.

[Tommy75]

Yep.

I’ve no idea what people were expecting. Plenty teams taken far worse thrashings from them this season and plenty more will.

Other than Dundee Utd who has taken a far worse thrashing?

[Trinity Hibee]

That’s about the most meaningless post I’ve ever seen. If we scored 2nd, 3rd or 4th it’s a different game as well. We didn’t though. Using imaginary scenarios to defend the indefensible is nonsense.

Bingo. All of buts and maybes. About as bad as referring to this expected goals stat to prove a point. If you don’t score, compete or win games everything else is irrelevant

[Chorley Hibee]

Maybe they aren’t as good as the teams mentioned but the gap between them and the rest of the teams is just as big, if not bigger.

There is nothing between us and 10 other teams in, we are way off rangers and even further off Celtic.

I agree, as I said, the standard of the other ten is abysmal, yet Hibs still can't put together a team even remotely capable of dispensing with the dross that populates our league.

The standards at the club are a joke.

I don't care how ****ing good Celtic are, when you watch players walk 30/40 yards without challenging them, or repeatedly fail to close down crosses into the box, then it's no surprise we're regularly handed our arse on a plate.

Like many of our support though, we just seem to accept it.

[GreenCastle]

Don’t forgot Goodwins awful team beat us in the last game we played 4-1.

Ok we beat them at ER but they had 10 men.

[tamig]

There isn’t a team in this league - Rangers included - that Celtic couldn’t rip apart when they want to.

Absolutely. Too many fantasists on here tonight failing to recognise that very obvious fact. Lets rip into our own club in any case.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Absolutely. Too many fantasists on here tonight failing to recognise that very obvious fact. Lets rip into our own club in any case.

Weird that they simply haven’t wanted to do it for weeks in that case.

Must have wanted last minute winners in a good few of their last few games rather than wanting to rip teams apart.

[Trinity Hibee]

Absolutely. Too many fantasists on here tonight failing to recognise that very obvious fact. Lets rip into our own club in any case.

Again, I think most would accept we won’t beat Celtic often but the 2 games this season we may as well not have turned up we’ve been beaten so badly. You can choose to ignore that if you want buts it’s a fact

[LunasBoots]

[Jones28]

Now Boyd lays in to us for not getting bookings?

What did he say?

We haven’t always got the recruitment right.

[Trinity Hibee]

LJ appears very good at the talk but not the walk

[madhatter]

We haven’t always got the recruitment right.

Well, he's 100% right on that.

[Ray Donovan]

Can't believe I largely agree with Kris Boyd.

[Dunbar Hibee]

Can't believe I largely agree with Kris Boyd.

Why does he speak so fast all the time though? Like he’s constantly coked out his fat tits..

[LunasBoots]

What did he say?

Recruitment's not right and he needs his own players

[BoomtownHibees]

Now Boyd lays in to us for not getting bookings?

It’s a decent point from the fat hun

[hibee_girl]

Can't believe I largely agree with Kris Boyd.

He was spot on about the recruitment side of the club.

[Smartie]

We could with a Home Bargains version of Calum McGregor.

Keeps everything alive for them and moves the ball back into an attacking position when it breaks down.

You know that “Rolls Royce of a player” phrase that gets bandied around? It refers to players like him, not Joe ****ing Newell.

They’re a good side and they played well tonight but they’re not 1970 Brazil.

I think Calum McGregor is a pretty special player though, and criminally underrated.

[Trinity Hibee]

Recruitment's not right and he needs his own players

What was the summer then if they aren’t his own players?

[GreenCastle]

Kris Boyd is even sticking up for fans saying we deserve better.

[Jones28]

It’s a decent point from the fat hun

Why?

What would bookings have achieved tonight?

[J-C]

LJ putting pressure on the owners with his comments a bit there


And quite rightly too, he wants to play a certain way and the players he has are simply not good enough, too many players here since Ross was here, time to be cruel and cut a few loose. I still feel he could and should get more out of these players, yes Celtic are miles ahead every other club but we just capitulated once again when the pressure was on.

[Jones28]

What was the summer then if they aren’t his own players?

His point was some players have seen off 3 or 4 managers and they need players to suit the play style.

[BoomtownHibees]

Why?

What would bookings have achieved tonight?

It would mean we got close enough to them to at least put a challenge in

[J-C]

Why?

What would bookings have achieved tonight?


Broken up play and stopped their constant attacks.

[Jones28]

It would mean we got close enough to them to at least put a challenge in

Means **** all if you give away free kicks and yellow cards.
There wasn’t a point tonight where I felt the players weren’t trying hard enough.

[Ray Donovan]

Why does he speak so fast all the time though? Like he’s constantly coked out his fat tits..

😂

[Trinity Hibee]

His point was some players have seen off 3 or 4 managers and they need players to suit the play style.

That’s fair enough but a fair amount came in over the summer who haven’t had a look in so what does that say about them? He’s presumably okayed their arrival

[Jones28]

Broken up play and stopped their constant attacks.

And get suspensions and potential red cards?

[Not In The Know]

Abysmyl Maeda had a free hold on left disappointing after Saturday
Cadden is not even Scottish Championship level.

Newell anonymous again.

Porto in the wrong position (for his last game).

Grim.

[eastmainsmsh]

He was spot on about the recruitment side of the club.

Leann clearly had Gordon Sussed and left on her own accordance after scottish cup win and since Lennon the feel good factor has gone

[Stuart93]

We did give them a game, wtf were you watching the first 15 minures. I thought we were unlucky early doors, once they score it becomes difficult.

Ah sorry, we gave them a game for 15 minutes of 90 then got beat 4-0. Apologies.

[J-C]

And get suspensions and potential red cards?


Not about being dirty but being clever, the odd we block, trip etc, just breaks up the play.

[CapitalGreen]

And get suspensions and potential red cards?

I’d be delighted if the likes of Cadden and Newell got suspensions. Their selection seems to be bulletproof despite regular poor performances.

[Stokesy's on fire]

LJ putting pressure on the owners with his comments a bit there

Good Lee Johnson is spot on.
