[makaveli1875]

Where did that come from . What a goal to win a Derby with

[ChicoM1875]

He's brilliant

[LunasBoots]

Deserved it, such a good player since hes been here.

[FilipinoHibs]

Deserved it, such a good player since hes been here.

Was a left winger in his youth.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Player of the year for me. Absolutely brilliant as he almost always is.

[Hibee Mac]

Absolute screamer, very few in the team who deserve it more than him too

He knew it just needed that extra bounce and he was bursting the net, celebrating before it went in, superb strike.

[lyonhibs]

Great touch to set it up and then a geometrically perfect screamer that even Gordon couldn't save.

I lost it big style in the pub here in Zurich. I'd like to apologise to absolutely nobody.

[truehibernian]

Between him and Nicky Cadden for Player of the Year.

[Unseen work]

An absolutely outrageous finish

[hibee_girl]

He was outstanding today

[Pretty Boy]

One of the great derby goals.

I can't recall too many better.

[WoreTheGreen]

One of the great derby goals.

I can't recall too many better.

The next one will do me

[HibsGW]

Get his contract extended, it’s only till end of next season

[Donegal Hibby]

Definitely up there in one of our best derby goals :greengri …

Confession .. I’ve watched it 74 times.

[Hibees1973]

There is a poster on here who doesn't even feel he is the best left back at the club.

:wink:

[Paul1642]

Player of the year for me. Absolutely brilliant as he almost always is.

Definitely a contender. We’re in a rare position that quite a few players could win it. Rocky, Iredale, Nicky Cadden, Triantis. Take your pick.

Me too. Said it to my laddie last week.
Assured and calm. Exactly what we were needing.

Any of those four are definitely contenders. All comes down to the run in, i actually cant separate the 4, for different reasons.

[OstKurve Hibs]

What a goal, I sit in the east and was inline with him when he hit it, knew it was in as soon as it left his boot !

[McHibby]

My pal sent me a video of the replay on the big screen. He doesn't normally do that, so I knew it was going be something special before I even watched it. Fantastic goal.

💚

[THESHIP]

Should have been awarded MOM. Was outstanding from start to finish and hasn’t had a bad game since he’s come here. What a peach of a goal.

[Up-the-slope]

goal made all the better by Square Heid just jogging back and letting him go as he was on a yellow for his petulant boot away of ball earlier so could not fould him

[leith lynx]

Jack Iredale and Nicky Cadden have been the best Hibs signings for many a year. Outstanding!

[Vault Boy]

4 year contract extension for Jackerto Irelos, please. What a ****ing player.

[JohnM1875]

4 year contract extension for Jackerto Irelos, please. What a ****ing player.

He's honestly so ****ing good. Genuinely a brilliant player and I really hope we're looking to extend his contract.

[GRA]

No coincidence our upturn in form has coincided with him, Rocky and N.Cadden coming in and us switching formation. He'll never hit a sweeter winner in his life, if that's the only goal he ever scores for us he'll forever remember it!

[CyberSauzee]

What a goal, I sit in the east and was inline with him when he hit it, knew it was in as soon as it left his boot !

I was in the Sheephaven in Camden,and I thought exactly the same!

[Northernhibee]

I’ve panned our recruitment department for a while and when he came in, Iredale on paper was the dictionary definition of underwhelming.

What a find he’s been though. Great work from whoever identified him.

[Carheenlea]

Watching the replays on big screen and hearing the very audible gasps from the crowd as they watched from the variety of angles was really quite something.

[Hiber-nation]

I was screaming at him to hit it, he's got a brilliant left foot, best passer in the team as far as I'm concerned so it wasn't a huge surprise to see it landing in the far corner. Incredible signing.

[Hibs Go Bragh]

I’ve always thought he’s one of the best defenders in the league but I was wrong. He’s THE best defender in the league! He’s our best player, he’s the sole reason for our turnaround and now he’s a goal scoring derby winner.

Player of the year, 10 year contract extension and just build the statue now to save a lot of hassle later.

[GreenCastle]

That’s Gayle and Iredale with legendary derby goals now.

An assist and the winner - brilliant.

Incredible goal today and what a guy - love when someone you least expect to score then scores a goal.

Loved his celebration too.

What a guy !

[hibsdaft]

His first start for us? the Aberdeen 3-3 game...

[marinello59]

I have watched it more times than I can count already. One of my all time favourite goals.

[JohnM1875]

One of those where once it's left your foot you just know

You defo know, you got time to light the cigar while you run away to celebrate. :thumbsup:

[SHODAN]

Mind when he was the latest deadline day panic signing?

How wrong that was.

[HibeeMackenzie]

Didn’t think I’d ever witness a Puskas award winner live in the person but here we are

[JimBHibees]

There is a poster on here who doesn't even feel he is the best left back at the club.

:wink:

He is playing left centre back

[Viva_Palmeiras]

One of the great derby goals.

I can't recall too many better.
As I said on the match day thread - was he not just copying Riordans goal versus Gordon’s weakness (albeit with a different foot?)

[hibsbollah]

Theres a touch of the David Murphy about him.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

I shouted “THAT’S IN” the moment it left his boot.

Sumptuous strike.

[silverhibee]

Riordan 2003

You defo know as well :thumbsup:

[JoeT]

We are getting close to a team of captains. Iredale, Newell O'Hora, classic captains, Nick Cadden, Boyle even Rocky lead by example, Chris Cadden, Obita, Gayle tick boxes, Josh shows leadership qualities beyond his years. We all dream of a team of David Grays!

[cubehindthegoal]

Who’d ‘a’ thought that was on its way ..

How did hearts defence let him even get in that position, to shoot, to score … didn’t they prepare for that ? Terrible defence and terrible manager and defensive coaches. Sheesh.

[Bridge hibs]

How did hearts defence let him even get in that position, to shoot, to score … didn’t they prepare for that ? Terrible defence and terrible manager and defensive coaches. Sheesh.The haha hearts defence could do nothing about it as none of them were close to Iredale, it was a second ball out and shankenheid was the closest hearts player to Iredale but the time he attempted to wobble towards Iredale the exocet had left his foot and had nestled comfortably into the back o the net

[theonlywayisup]

Great goal! Such individual quality after great team play in the build up.

The Sportscene Team were talking about the control we had of the ball, the use of the wide areas and the calmness on the ball were the reasons we won the 2nd half and the game. Levitt and Triantis were dictating play in the lead up to the ball being played out wide first Chris Cadden than back to Nicky Cadden, whose control of a high Triantis pass was excellent.

Iredale's control and calmness in shooting was vey similar to Scott Allan's finish in another memorable derby victory.

Between him and Nicky Cadden for Player of the Year.
And Triantis

[GreenCastle]

Was brilliant being able to see it on the screens after and the crowd loving it.

Such a special moment as fans went mental.

[Squealing pig]

Absolute baller

[overdrive]

What a screamer of a goal. I won't tire of seeing it.

I didn't realise he was type 1 diabetic as well.

I love him but no chance are you sneaking Rocky in there, he's still a liability in many big games which is the polar opposite of the other 3

[Libby Hibby]

Can someone more cleverer than me slow down Iredale goal and add the music I think from platoon, the adagio for strings one by PVD

[GreenCastle]

The pass for the Boyle goal is absolutely brilliant too - possibly wind assisted but the curve and area it’s put into is sublime. Not being talked about enough due to the incredible winning goal.

[Victor]

The pass for the Boyle goal is absolutely brilliant too - possibly wind assisted but the curve and area it’s put into is sublime. Not being talked about enough due to the incredible winning goal.

Just realised, from a clip Hibs posted, that it was him that hit the pass for Boyle’s goal. Goal and pass of the season, in one game.

[theonlywayisup]

Iredale said they were practicing the pass during the week. Maybe Boyle wasn't the intended recipient, but great pass.

[Dashing Bob S]

Iredale is brilliant. I love the man.

[flash]

Absolutely superb again today along with the keeper and rest of back three.

[Crab apple]

Absolutely superb again today along with the keeper and rest of back three.

He was immense today. Loved his passion. He was still arguing with the linesman 10 minutes after his booking.

[Since90+2]

Captain material.

[JohnM1875]

He was immense today. Loved his passion. He was still arguing with the linesman 10 minutes after his booking.

That booking was ****ing criminal from the ref. Cheating ****. Actually, probably the linesman that gave it. Cheating *****.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

His tackle towards the end just summed him up. Love his desire

Never a yellow. And a cheating ******* from celtic feigned injury when he won the ball mid 2nd half in a clear attempt to get gim sent off
