[Unseen work]

Nervous and just can’t see a win.

Can’t imagine beating Aberdeen twice in a row for some reason.

A lot of their fans seem to want Robson to leave aswell so can see them pulling a result ojt the bag especially after a good win mid week

My gut feeling is we won't win this but that's probably just my natural pessimism.

Been impressed by Montgomery as a person, but the honeymoon period is over. Time for him to start winning games.

I’m the same mate.

Really like Montgomery and what he’s trying to do, but I think the Hibs fan in me just thinks we won’t win this 🤣

Fwiw I’ve got alot of Aberdeen fans that also think they won’t win!

[DinkyTwo]

Driving through, does anyone know decent places to park?There's a housing estate on the hill a couple of streets east of the Beechwood pub. I've parked in and around Montford Avenue a few times. It'll be busy with residents parked up, but usually not so bad with other football goers. Easier to get a space than around the main road at Kings Park.

As for the game, I'm quite nervous.

Honeymoon period for the new manager has definitely worn off and I feel less confident than I was after beating St Mirren. Think both us and Aberdeen are capable of putting a performance in, so just depends who turns up on the day.

A few pints at lunch will hopefully get me back in the happy clapper camp prior to KO.

Yeah.

I'm in my 50s now and still get nervous before games like this.

I always enjoy playing the OF at Hampden as there is less expectation. Today comes with added pressure in that it's a 50/50 game.

Trying to kid myself on that I won't be gutted if we get beat. But I will.

They’ll try to suffocate us in midfield and playing out from the back and try pounce on any mistakes.

Probably let us knock it about in open play up to the half way like then press.

Mixed emotions with that line up, especially with Aberdeen having ball winners in midfield. They’ve not much width so can see us playing it wide and often. Bench isn’t great but there’s experience and who knows, a couple of youngsters could be wee heroes 👍😊 let’s go for it 👍

Thanks. so you need a subscription, cant just buy the one game it looks like.

[Hibees1973]

Shinnie is the worry for me.

Experienced and good on the ball when he has time. Aberdeen mostly play through him.

I haven't got good vibes, but what do I know.

Rubezic is a car crash for them.

[Hibs90]

Who would you suggest he adds to it?

What are you suggesting?

I never said it should be changed or anything, he has who he has to pick from unfortunately, doesn’t take away from the fact it’s awful.

[EdinMike]

Jair to score surely ! Have faith !

[Callum_62]

Aberdeens bench certainly looks stronger

Something we need to address through January and the summer

This is a game that's in the balance though and if we can get youan, vente, Boyle and Hair clicking we have one of the best forward lines in the league

It's the other side of the game that worries me [emoji1787]

Even Willie Miller said that was never a free kick and Shinnie bought it right in front of the ref.

I think we're all going to be here a while.

[The Spaceman]

Big gulf in class so far - we are the much better team. Jair playing well and Youan a real threat.

[neil7908]

Playing pretty well but for a team with 4 exciting attacking players we look awfully toothless up front.

I still don't feel that the 442 is quite working with the players we have.

Still, we've been the better team overall and if we keep focused and don't switch off at the back, I fancy us to sneak this.

[Stairway 2 7]

Jair, Obita and Levitt great, mixed from the rest. By far the best opportunities, but that means nothing

[Tambo]

we just need a little bit more cutting edge in the final third. I thought Miller has been very poor at times.

[Donegal Hibby]

Been the better side though it could go anyway. Abit worried now Jair as a booking.

[Hibees1973]

Nervy game.

Hibs knocking it about well.

Will be livid if we lose this.

His passing angles are up there with the best I’ve seen. Beautiful.

That 1st half was dire.

You can talk all you want about tactics and formations and whatever else but when you have players making basic errors and brainless decisions for 45 minutes then it is never going to be pretty.

Everything goes down the wings and the ball in isn't the best, Newell has been anonymous and Levitt isn't getting the chance to create anything. Jair and Youan are both still learning but Boyle has been wasteful with Vente looking for space but the balls through have been few and far between, all counter attack from Hibs but it's all a bit rushed near the box with little composure.

Three fights in our area (F4) of the ground within the first 30 minutes - absolute embarrassment. Got two small kids and won't be bringing them to Hampden anytime soon - feel sorry for any parents having to explain this nonsense to their kids at the game.

Hampden brings out the dregs that never actually make it to Easter Road 99% of the time.

[SHODAN]

Hampden announcer playing Linkin Park, excellent

You shouldn't have to but theres loads of seats at the south end of our allocation if it suits you to move with the bairns

[sleeping giant]

Hibs fans fighting with ourselves again.

Lennon just said we have the option of Doidge and La Fondre off the bench, someone better tell him ALF isn't on the bench. :greengrin

[500miles]

I think we've been decent , would like to see Doidge come on to lead the line to give us a focal point l.

We really do have so trumpets amongst our support, they always seem to excel themselves at Hampden.

[cameronw-hfc]

Get in Boyle. What a pass and what a touch

[Maple Leith]

Boooom! Get in there Boyler! Great pass over from Beckenbauer Fish.

[cameronw-hfc]

I don't get this, he looks miles on in the replays?

[Vault Boy]

How on earth can it take this long

[OtleyHibs]

He's on for me

Desperately trying to find an angle to rule it out from

[dp00]

How can it be clear and obvious and take this long

[Moulin Yarns]

[Hibs90]

****ing disgrace.

Cheating corrupt *****

[Gatecrasher]

Embarrassing length of timw to make a decision.

[ChicoM1875]

Horrible. VAR is a joke

[Since452]

Sucker punch written all over this now

[silverhibee]

Scandalous decision.

[cameronw-hfc]

Am I blind or does that look miles on? He doesn't even look close to offside

[Biggie]

That is horrific……level is now off ?

[ED Hibee]

Utter joke of a decision

[Waxy]

Utter disgrace. Hang your heads in shame

[J-C]

Typical cheap SFA technology, how long does it take ffs.

[Joe6-2]

C’mon Hibs, F*** VAR

[The_Exile]

What was that VAR line all about? The player closest to Boyle was further forward than the player they used for the line.

[Callum_62]

Am I blind or does that look miles on? He doesn't even look close to offsideThey've surely mucked the lines up there?

It looked close but then with the lines he was about 10 yards.offside

Something amiss taking that time there

VAR can GTF. Great idea in theory, but not when you've got the same muppets operating it as you have 'officiating' the games 🤬

[Gatecrasher]

Surprise surprise, not even checked :rolleyes:

[J-C]

That has to be a penalty, why is that not getting checked?

[Hibs90]

How the **** are car not checking that.


Absolute stonewall penalty

[Callum_62]

How the **** isn't that a pen?

What’s the ****ing point.. 10 minutes to see if they can chock off Hibs goal.. then 0 minutes to check the penalty.. ****ing cheats

[The_Exile]

That's a stonewaller surely?!!

[staunchhibby]

Why did various not look at keeper bringing player down
