Cup final day is finally here for the women’s team today. Live on Sky Sports ‚ kick off 3 pm
Our team should be quietly confident today, there’s something about this group of players. Let’s get it done.

What a weekend for the cancellation of my sky sports packageto kick in :rolleyes:

Looking forward to game today ,cheering the girls on to victory if anyone is at a loss at not having the men’s team playing this weekend ,get along the m8 and join the large travelling army of hibbys to Fir Park :flag:

[Eyrie]

Looking forward to it.

[IanM]

Played rangers twice this season
1-1 at home and beat them 3-0 away
Ahead of them in the league - lost 1 in 21

Yet we’re 16/5 (365) to win in 90 mins ..
6/1 half time full time

[He's here!]

We'll be there. Very tough game but we go into it in fine form.

[hibby rae]

The highest scorers vs the best defence.

Hopefully Graeme Thewliss is right when he said on AVFTT last night "defences win championships"

I know Rangers score a lot, but Hibs have only let in 1 goal in eleven games and that was v Glasgow City. Hibs to win to Nil 17/2 on Willy Hill's:cb Can also get 7/2 on the Hibs win.

Hibs women and their management and coaching teams have been nothing short of remarkable this season.
I don't know much about the womens game but was sure Hibs women were detached from the big 3 for the long term.
Good luck to Hibs today and the supporters who are following them.

They've done brilliantly. Like the old days when we were constantly vying with Glasgow City to be the best of the bunch.

Mon the Hibees.

[Pretty Boy]

Just arrived in Motherwell now. Looking forward to it.

Seems to be more Rangers fans kicking about at the moment but that's to be expected I suppose.

[Jay]

Gutted I couldn't make the trip through today. Will be cheering them on from home. :flag:

Game hinges on McGovern being fit.

Game hinges on McGovern being fit.

She is important but there are a few key players there.
I’m hoping to see McAlonie shine today, a player who has got steadily better as the season has gone on.

[Pretty Boy]

How many of the Rangers side are ex Hibs? Is it 5?

[Tambo]

Good luck to the ladies, just about to tune in.

Mon Hibs :flag:

[s.a.m]

Very best of luck, Hibs Women! :flag:

And what ever happens, huge congratulations on a fantastic season!:top marks

[hibsbollah]

Bowie looks like she has the measure of the young American in the rangers side…

[Jay]

One Leah Eddie

Jenna Fyfe and Chelsea Cornet, Lizzie Arnot all played for Hibs.

Yeah 4

[LaMotta]

Hibs are all over the place, terrible start!

[marinello59]

A few nervy moments, got away with one there.

[Pretty Boy]

Hibs need to settle down. Everything very rushed and nervy.

Hopefully someone can get a foot on the ball and slow the pace a bit.

[hibsbollah]

Hibs are all over the place, terrible start!

I thought it was pretty even, the opposition have come into it a bit more last 10

[Donegal Hibby]

Thought the ref could have let play go there as hibs had the advantage

[LaMotta]

Siobhan Hunter is class.

[marinello59]

Siobhan Hunter is class.

A warrior.

Great football there from Hibs and a good finish, def offside though, unlucky!

[joe breezy]

Did it kick off at 3? Still nil nil?

Much better. Thought that was in for a second.

[BILLYHIBS]

Oooooooffffff!!!!!

Good move that

[hibsbollah]

Oh that would have been a great goal. I was just going to say papa d has had a poor game and then she runs half the length of the pitch!

[cabbageandribs1875]

nice seeing Judy Murray there :)

[PHeffernan]

Needless yellow for Hunter

That’s twice now, this ref obviously doesn’t think it’s a thing.

Save and the clearance from the follow up probably just kept us in the game.

You have to imagine we'll be better in the 2nd half.

[marinello59]

We can play better, still in this.

[Ronniekirk]

We were much better in the second hslf v Glasgow City so hope it’s the same today

[cameronw-hfc]

Not seen much of the women this season but given where they are in the league, that felt like a really poor half.

[Donegal Hibby]

Still in it at 1-0 .. need to play better in the 2nd half though.

[The Captain....]

Hibs keeper did well. Not much else to say about the game tho.

[Shrekko]

Lots of tough tackling and commitment.
Good to see players not falling over and rolling about in 'agony' after the merest touch like the wimps/cheats in the mens game.

Referee is pretty lenient compared to in the men’s game.

I’m at the game so could be wrong but I thought there should have been at least another 2/3 yellows and possibly a red for Rangers for a big studs up challenge. TV will maybe say otherwise.

[marinello59]

I think they will be disappointed with the way they played that half, they can do much better. A few nervous performances I thought.

Getting caught on the ball a lot needs less touches and move it quicker. Rangers have looked good though still in the game.

[Jay]

Nerves or adrenaline I don't know but they are definitely capable of doing better , hopefully half time will settle them and we will see a better 2nd half. They've got the win in them.

[Alfred E Newman]

Ive not seen much women's football but the quality looks pretty poor to me. I would reckon a decent junior team would easily see off both teams quite comfortably.

Thought the scorer should have been been booked when challenging Hunter just after the goal. Think the bad tackle was a yellow foot was low poor tackle though

[cabbageandribs1875]

that'll be that i'm afraid

[marinello59]

That’s it now I think. Cruel way to concede the third.

[Pretty Boy]

This is going to get ugly. We've not been at it mentally. Reminds me a bit of the derby at ER. Pressure of the big occasion and the crowd maybe got to too many.

[hibsbollah]

Oh dear, collapse

[cabbageandribs1875]

one more and it's a hammering

[cameronw-hfc]

Pretty shameful performance not going to lie. Been good going by the table so far this season but they've basically chucked this now.

[Pretty Boy]

Rangers fans singing 'Hibs are falling apart again'. Classy as always.

[Brightside]

The defence has been awful. A few players miles off the pace and we don’t have any replacements on the bench.

[LaMotta]

Ive not seen much women's football but the quality looks pretty poor to me. I would reckon a decent junior team would easily see off both teams quite comfortably.

A sunday league or boys team would beat them without too much bother, buts it not really about that.

Game over now - switching off and ruing my optimism with the betting prices:boo hoo:

they will know they've let themselves down badly on the big stage

It’s a game of football. If it’s ok at the men’s game it’s totally fine for this game.

[hibsbollah]

Just enjoy it or don’t. Womens football is a different sport and we should have moved past discussing what level of mens football its at. Its irrelevant, because they wont play each other.

[Helensburghhibs]

Each to their own and if following the women's game is your thing then good luck to you. But the standard is really poor especially since this is meant to be 2 of the best teams in the country.

[He's here!]

By far our worst performance since then. We can play SO much better. Battered Rangers last time out.

Need to regroup and not let this affect the league run-in.

[Pretty Boy]

Soe double wave that. Particularly the 2nd one.

[cabbageandribs1875]

good double save to stop a 4th

[lapsedhibee]

Ive not seen much women's football but the quality looks pretty poor to me. I would reckon a decent junior team would easily see off both teams quite comfortably.

Also, Messi and Ronaldo would score a barrowload in the SWPL, so what's the point in women playing football?

[Brightside]

The standard is decent for the women’s game. The constant rating v the men’s game is just daft.

[The Captain....]

The keeper is preventing this from being an absolute hiding. Some good stops

How is men's junior football relevant to the women's game?

They are Hibernian Women, it says so on their twitter page.

Hibs aren't falling apart, far from it.

I really don't see why people are so touchy over that song. They are also Hibs, and it's unbelievably tame considering most of the football songs clubs sing.

[Pretty Boy]

You feel if we could get one here there might be another in it for us. Game is so open now and they might just not fancy the pressure. Big if though.

[cabbageandribs1875]

hope the girls have this keeper signed up for next season

[cabbageandribs1875]

4-0

it's a hammering

[marinello59]

Im gutted for the team. The worst day possible to misfire. They will be bitterly disappointed. I don’t even think Rangers have been that good.

[Jones28]

Oh deary me. 4-0. Was gonna take the kids to this but something came up. Fortunately.

[cabbageandribs1875]

5-0


a one-sided final

[Pagan Hibernia]

5-0


a one-sided final

Really hope we don't score one now

[Pretty Boy]

A total hammering. Bar a couple of 5 minutes spells just never at the races.

Worst possible day to fall flat. Not sure if it was nerves or underlying injury issues but just about every big player didn't fire at all.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Really hope we don't score one now


i really don't think there's much chance of that to be honest

[Brightside]

We really have no strength in depth. Thread bare squad. The whole rangers bench would have started for hibs today.

[marinello59]

That’s cruel.
The two quick goals at the start of the second half did for us. It’s going to be tough picking themselves up for the remaining league games but we do know that this was a blip today, they can play so much better.

[cabbageandribs1875]

FT

one the women won't want to watch again

[He's here!]

A great shame. Certainly did not see that coming. Fell miles short of the standard they're capable of.

[The Harp]

Well done to the girls for getting to the Final. Results like this happen all the time - it can still be a tremendous season for the girls. Well done to the fans who went through too.

Unfortunately the OF will end up dominating women's football in the same way they dominate the men's game, money talks.

[lugz]

Really hard one to take that, been playing so well all season then fail to show up in a final.

Game was lost in the midfield, very very poor in there.

Big shout out to the keeper, despite conceding 5 (none of which were her fault) she stopped it from being a cricket score.

[PHeffernan]

hope the girls have this keeper signed up for next season

Erin is on loan at Hibs and is contracted to Glasgow City until summer 2027.
She's made a world of difference to Hibs this season.
Not many teams in our league have a good keeper.
A masterstroke to get her in.

Hibs well outclassed today by a Rangers team that clicked upfront.
Our women worked hard all game today but money talked.
Thought our open tactics after the break played into their hands.

However, it shows how fantastic Hibs Women have been this season to be level in the league, in late March, with a team with that much quality available to them.
Hope the girls can get right back to winning ways next time out at top 6 whipping girls Motherwell on the 30th March.

[Shrekko]

No, Erin is on loan at Hibs and is contracted to Glasgow City for 2 more seasons.
She's made a world of difference to Hibs this season.

Think she’s going to have an excellent career. Her distribution is very impressive in addition to her athleticism.

Not seen the double save back but the 2nd save looked incredible at the match albeit from nearly the other side of the stadium.

[Pretty Boy]

It was an unbelievable save to get up so quickly then get down again to get a strong connection on it. A top class save.

Guy next to me was going nuts that she hadn't held the first shot (which I thought was harsh, it wasn't powerful but she was at full stretch) before realising she had saved the 2nd.

[PHeffernan]

It was Gordon Banks-esque but in the pishing Scottish rain rather than the burning suns of Mexico

Yeah.
Grant Scott has his work cut out to find a worthy replacement for Clachers for next season

Saying that Hibs improved greatly this season despite having to replace the scorer of 29 goals, Jorian Baucom.
She was brilliant.

[hibsforeurope]

No long back from the game, fir park is a dump, they shame is just our old east wit a bit more covering.
I thought up until our chopped off goal we were well in it but that goal just before half time was a real blow.
Their second or possibly 3rd (the one from the free kick) looked offside but those killed the game off.

Rangers looked far more comfortable on the grass, especially when it got wetter n wetter.

Onwards n upwards girls, still a league to be won.

The point about Rangers looking more comfortable on grass had occurred to me as well with so many of the women’s games being played on Astro. It was certainly a factor in what went wrong today.

The one from the free kick (the 2nd) was roughly 6 yards onside.

[Danderhall Hibs]

The one from the free kick (the 2nd) was roughly 6 yards onside.

Looked a mile off at the game but now I’ve seen it back can see the scorer came from really deep.

Really disappointing today - looked well off the pace in midfield and a lack of depth defensively.

[Brightside]

We really need to stop blaming money. The lack of defensive backup has been an issue for years now. If we can afford an American sub goalie then we can afford to go out and sign the best young defenders.

[JimBHibees]

Well done to the girls for getting to the Final. Results like this happen all the time - it can still be a tremendous season for the girls. Well done to the fans who went through too.

Absolutely from my distant position in terms of knowledge of performances and players the season has been on a hugely upward trajectory and the coaches and players should take enormous pride in that and credit for that. They are now at the top end of the league and getting to finals. The challenge will be the the response to yesterday and ensuring they finish the league campaign as strongly as possible. Need to bounce back.

[JimBHibees]

The one from the free kick (the 2nd) was roughly 6 yards onside.

Possibly an argument the offside player moved to play the ball however was beaten to it by the onside player however think that would have been harsh. Didn't think the ref was great seemed three or four blatant advantages not played.

[jakedance]

I don’t follow the women’s game but took my daughter yesterday. Rangers were considerably better and the score could have been much worse if it wasn’t for our goalie. By all accounts we’re better than we showed yesterday so hopefully they finish the season well. I’m just proud we’ve got these role models for young girls now. There are some real warriors in that team.

[Musselbound]

That’s cruel.
The two quick goals at the start of the second half did for us. It’s going to be tough picking themselves up for the remaining league games but we do know that this was a blip today, they can play so much better.

Really hope it is just a blip and doesn't knock their confidence too much. Still plenty to play for and more big games coming up.

Yes, the heavy derby defeat at ER was obviously on grass too, although in saying that they bounced back to win at Tynecastle in the next derby.

My feeling it was more the occasion and bigger crowd which got to them yesterday, bit like that ER derby. We went on a great run after that defeat so fingers crossed we can do similar now. Yesterday was a major disappointment. On paper it looked like it would be a very tight game.

that's a pity :( i'm sure Glasgow City coaches will have been watching yesterday

i'm also sure many fans of other clubs will also have been watching and wondered just where on earth that Hibs performance came from, a side top of the league at this stage of the season should simply not be getting a hammering like that

i did already consider yesterday like others that the two largest hammerings this season have both been on Grass, with a larger than normal crowd

[superfurryhibby]

Without wishing to sound too controversial, some of our players didn't seem fit enough for professional athletes.

Great effort to get to a final, hats off to them for that.
