The official Hibs v Aberdeen League Cup Semi Final Thread

[Pagan Hibernia]

A lot of people saying we were excellent today... we weren't. We were excellent for the first 25 minutes of the second half. The rest of it, and the whole first half, we were very mediocre, and after the red card we were hopeless.

The stats certainly don't suggest we were 'robbed' either. Although we should have had a pen.

Devastated.

Dissapointing perfect goal by Boyle Beaton a ***

[Itsnoteasy]

I’ll be the first to go in our players after a crap performance. That wasn’t crap, we were far and away the better team and were robbed by some quite blatant cheating.

Spent 10 mins finding an angle or still that showed Boyle offside. Then didn’t spend anytime at all checking the penalty or Aberdeen goal.

Absolutely sick of this!

Nothing to check on Dons goal Miller went doon like a sack of tatties

[SHODAN]

Hibs should forfeit all Hampden appearances.

[Coach Jon]

Only have ourselves to blame for that. Any team in our league with a player the quality of Miovski up front has a chance regardless of how bad the rest of that Aberdeen team were. Terrible result for us and fair play to Aberdeen after going down to 10. Silly boy Lewis Miller.

Yeh, we had one player to worry about today and we couldnt deal with him, he could have had a hat trick, scored when they were down to ten men, we need 2 centre backs in January.

[Maple Leith]

They were there for the taking, and we should have done better. After the two questionable/corrupt decisions against us, we looked frustrated and lost. You'd have thought the sending off would have given us some momentum, but unfortunately not.

Aberdeen know that they are lucky to be in the final. Genuinely one of the most annoying, delusional team and fanbases bunch around.

[Waxy]

Except, they'll be in it and if rangers have an off day then they'll have a decent chance.

A better chance than we'll have for sure.

****ing pig sick of hibs.

Usual feeling of gutted at Hampden again, had chances and couldn't convert, losing a goal to ten men is just crap, should have had a penalty but VAR is only for certain teams.

Nevermind, we will learn from that defeat. :faf:

We’ll learn from this. I’m m seeing loads of positive stuff from Monty. He’s improved us.

Doesn't hurt as much as it used to
At 51 I’d hope I’d be the same but tbh I’m absolutely gutted. We didn’t deserve to lose tonight.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Why do we insist on playing out from the back we don’t have the players to do it. We are our worst enemies :confused:

whilst a fair comment, not sure that’s what’s lost f for us today. I really thought we were gonna go down to 10 men… anti-fitba wins in Scotland - what a great advert.

Lennon calls Shinnie “Nick” sublime piss-take

For their goal Shinnie maybe fouls him but it's tight and he shouldn't be in that position in the first place.

Boyles goal apart, their keeper hardly had to break sweat. We dont create much playing this system.

Largely due to how deep Aberdeen were playing. There were at least 3 occasions where Hibs were through and were only foiled by last gasp challenges or blocks.

When the red card came they had every one of their players in the last third. Very difficult to create chances in such situations. Although introducing the lump it up to Doidge tactic at this stage was pointless.

[ED Hibee]

They scored their one chance. They did not look dangerous in attack apart from that. Our play included a perfectly good goal, clear chance in first half Youan blazed over the bar, last gasp block on certain goal from Vente, last gasp challenges from their defenders on 2 occasions which could have gone anywhere after we had got the ball into dangerous areas. And a chance from Tavares in which he brought a save from the keeper.

[LunasBoots]

My problem is too many times in that kind of game where its tight is we too many times come out of them on the losing side, we concede far to many and don't convert enough (today we could have played for another hour and still wouldn't have scored) that's something Monty needs to change, thought we where fine when we where direct but when we where fannying about we more times than not lost possession far to much.

[ED Hibee]

I agree we weren’t clinical. However I was responding to the point that the system didn’t create chances and was pointing out that we did create chances. We just didn’t take them and the one we did was in my view harshly ruled out

The other point about lines aribtrarily drawn though still stands.

If it takes 5 mins for a couple of guys trying to guess where the shoulder would be if it was in contact with the ground, then it seems to me that VAR isn't reliable for that sort of check. It's a pure guess without the right maths.

Foot being in contact with the ground is easy enough and that was in-line.

I don't know what it is with Hibs and Hampden but some of our best teams have put in some brutal displays there. we've also been desperately unlucky in other games. The worst game and display I can remember would be the Dunfermline scottish Cup semi final replay in 2007, and there's been a few that could challenge it since.

[Pagan Hibernia]

We just don't have the quality, or the sheer iron will to get over the line and get the job done in games like this. And that's been hibs for decades. It reminded me very much of the Falkirk game in 2015, the Ross County game in 2016, and the Hearts game in 2020 (Nisbets penalty). Should have won them all.

The st Johnstone semi in 2021 too, where we squandered a few fabulous chances before collapsing and getting humped 3-0.

[PolmontHibby]

A few thoughts after another disappointing day at Hampden.
Seen many worse performances from Hibs at Hampden and we’re on balance better team - but not to a great degree.
Biggest takeaway as always is Hampden as a national stadium is a disgrace - location and access piss poor, dated stadium, lack of atmosphere, dire view of pitch (at least 3 people Hibees I know did not go as knew would have to stand all game).

The stadium is fine, if you don't want to stand go in the south.

Hibs were fine and the better team until the Aberdeen Red and from that moment on we was never scoring.

I was in line with Boyle offside and never even considered it wouldn't be given live. Looking at the pictures it was close.

The stadium is fine, if you don't want to stand go in the south.

Hibs were fine and the better team until the Aberdeen Red and from that moment on we was never scoring.

I was in line with Boyle offside and never even considered it wouldn't be given live. Looking at the pictures it was close.

Another angle - not a pen

Agreed from that angle. The one behind the goal looked a nailed on pen. At the game I didn't think it was and that angle proves my eyes are not bad 😁

Nah don't think so, if that was given against us we would be raging

Can’t see how it’s not a penalty to be honest. Keeper spills the stop and the attacker gets to the ball first and is brought down by the keeper who is trying to retrieve the situation. Any angle you like.

[JohnM1875]

So we were pretty much all fuming and saying how it was a joke Duk got the penalty against us but we want that one given for us?

I get consistency will be the argument but it's not a pen for me.

The goalies elbow comes down onto Vente's foot. Ball is still in play. Penalty.

Penalty all day long. From both angles. Roos elbow lands right on the top of Ventes foot. Of that is a foot on foot its a penalty. So elbow on foot is a penalty as well. 100% that the *** or celtic get given that

Sevco got one today , duk got one against us , ours is a penalty all day long as Vente gets the ball first and Roos makes contact with the player . Stonewall penalty imo .

I thought it must have been around that number going by the ticket sales. The Sunday Post quoted a figure of 20295 which is surely incorrect.

That still looks like a pen to me. Ball in play, Keeper misses ball and at least a couple of points of contact. Not much different from teh Penalty to The Rangers today. If Beaton gives it then that will not be overturned by VAR imo

Agree, clear penalty for me. I’m still amazed VAR didn’t even take a minute to review it. Saying that, VAR only seems to be there to find ways to prevent goals for the most part.

What pisses me off is guys like Newell are always in the media before these Hampden games talking about how desperate they are to win and how they don’t want to let the fans down. Keep that talk for after we’ve won. That’s now Hampden bottle jobs against hearts, Celtic, st Johnstone (x2) and Aberdeen a few of them have been involved in. Sickening

I'm sure Newell and the rest of the team were desperate to win. However bering desperate to win doesn't necessarily make you good enough.

Well, that would seem more accurate given their performances whenever they get a sniff of silverware.

Who cares about hearts? We’ve won 2 cups in 30 years. Given the number of times we’ve been to hampden in that time, that’s a pathetic record.

Someone posted an actual figure on social media (granted not sure if accurate) of just under 16500 Hibs fans meaning Aberdeen had just under 12k

I couldn't make the game and I haven't seen any highlights . Are there any ?
