Well, out of all the games I’ve ever watched, that was certainly one.
They will be absolutely floored. Hard double sessions all week then into a game today.Quote:

It will be a totally different experience form how we normally prepare for games and they'll be feeling it.
Thought MPACT was MOTM.

where did they get that commentator? he was terrible!
Boooooooo.
Returning my season ticket after today’s draw.
That's a wild take on Ohara and Youan after a glorified training session.Quote:

Back on the pitch after 6 weeks off. Minutes in the legs in that heat will benefit the players and good to see young guys getting a run out
A goal would have been nice, especially as Saturdays game will be much tougher. Great to be watching the hibees again even if it wasn't the most exciting match
What was wrong with him? Not much to talk about but clearly done his research, full of facts and actually knew what player was what, something even our own club commentators don’t get right!Quote:

Can you count on 1 hand if any of the players broke into a jog? It’s 37 degrees and the first game back.Quote:

By the time you get to the Bolton game, I’d expect to get a better idea of how we’re shaping up and see a team that’ll be fairly similar to the team that’ll play in Denmark.
Same goes for Saturday, the two games out there are being played in amongst triple training sessions.
Goalkeepers done well - be a great battle to see who gets and keeps number 1
A run out and a fiver well spent - would still rather watch any hibs team than the world club pish
I did watch. Was more a comment on some of the ludicrous reactions you get.Quote:

We were all watching Youan, in particular, and many not wanting to see anything positive. I, like many, am not a great fan but what I saw of him in that match was that he was targeted and constantly fouled. What I also saw was that he has more footballing talent than virtually anyone else on the pitch.Quote:

Minutes in the legs thats all that matters. Well in lads
Good practice for the final in Istanbul :wink:Quote:

It's like Graeme Souness' obsession with Paul Pogba on here with Youan now.Quote:

You an was absolutely fine. It was a bounce game, nothing more.
Commentator was motm for managing to keep talking through what was a non event in terms of a watch.
Thought Manneh showed up well for his 30 minutes. I think he'll skoosh it in our midfield in the SPFL.
I couldn’t agree more! Surely fans sites of other clubs are not as bad. I know many may not agree, but the main objective should be to encourage our players.Quote:

Did Youan’s toe get through unscathed?
Think there’s a reason they did it closed doors. It’s giving players a run out (and the youngsters a chance to play with and against seasoned pros), nothing else.Quote:

That's the reason Hibs gave for it being behind closed doors. If it was because they wanted to avoid fans reading too much into a preseason kickabout, they wouldn't have agreed to it being streamed.
He was on the end of a fairly cynical tackle from behind when he made a burst through the midfield. Didn't like it and went looking for the guy who tackled him.Quote:

And blistering heatQuote:

We know there were numerous first team players who didn't feature today for one reason or another, and we only have 3 games arranged between now and the first Europa League tie away in Denmark. I worry that the minutes the players will get with so much rotation in those 3 games will mean we'll go into that first Europa tie undercooked. I suppose we'll see, but it would have been good to have a game between Rot-Weiss Essen on 9th July and Bolton on 19th July. I know we'll probably play a closed-door game in that period, but another 90 minutes in front of fans at that stage would've been good for the squad I feel.
Is that maybe when they are heading down to Bournemouth?Quote:

Fair enough, its was still a closed door game & basically a conditioning exerciseQuote:

Anyway, hopefully nobody picked up any injuries today and that we can integrate more of the first teamers into the 11 against Ajax.
We'd have won 5-0 if we were wearing white socks.
In front of fans or not, doesn’t make a great deal of difference I don’t think.Quote:

Bournemouth won’t be their 23s, they will be behind us in pre season but it’ll still be a test.
Bolton should be a test as well, they will be at the same stage as us.
Ajax and Essen may be useful playing against different styles with Europe in mind but still really early.
I don't think there was anything wrong with Youan today, while not doing much attacking wise thought he worked hard and took on the instructions with no fuss wanting to help his team mates, did get roughed up a little in the second and gave it back a bit but nothing wrong with that, showed fight.
Again like i said earlier i was impressed with Gillie who might be ahead of Oscar now who probably looks to be leaving? Both Jacob and Deano worked hard, I'm sure it was Cleland who had the chance in the second half when he was though on goal but looked a little tired?
I'm sure the like's of Bowie, Boyle, Rocky etc will get minutes vs Ajax, was going to pay for it but glad i didn't now with the issues some seem to have had, the popular streaming website is still up, just under a different webpage with it now being .SC and not .Com (sorry if I've broken any rules admin and delete if needed)
I think ultimately this is what it comes down to.Quote:

Dean Cleland had the horrendous job of closing down the defenders, and I thought he showed a lot of enthusiasm for 90 minutes on a very hot day, he was also unlucky with our only shot on goal.
Friendly game Thats all.
Woz mic'd up;

Dunno why but I like the mic'd up videos we release.
Today wasn't really a game of football, it was training for the new season, that's it.
A fitness exercise, working on shape, tactics etc.
I’ve been quite critical of O’Hora, but seeing that you can see why he’d be so important to usQuote:
