Hard to see us winning the league with the fixtures remaining for the top four but all the claims the Uglies would ruin women's football seem unfounded. What a great league with 4 teams still in with a great chance. The Derby loss and that Partick draw were points that we had every chance of picking up but ended up with a single point.
There's still the post split fixtures to be played.Quote:

The Hibs ladies actually played in yellow and blue for a fixture to highlight the situation.
So football, and our own club, has actively been involved in social and political issues for a good while.
It isn't up to football, or Hibs, to pass judgement on what political protest is acceptable.
Neither the Irish flag, or the Palestinian flag represent terrorism, the Irish flag is actually a flag representing peace between the communities.
If those flags represent terrorism, then I can't imagine what the world thinks of the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes, or the Star of David for that matter.
I never realised the league split. Very much all to play for then and we look to be in great form.Quote:

When it comes to viewing flags in their proper context, anyone watching today's Auschwitz commemorations will see only a symbol of Jewish identity in the Star of David.
I'm conscious of taking this thread way off tangent.Quote:

Any idea how you go about getting the family of 4 ticket in your basket on Motherwell’s ticket site?
Surely showing solidarity with Ukraine was also protesting against Russia?Quote:

In the press today
"Celtic manager Sadiku wants more financial support, suggesting her budget is on the same level as Hibs and Hearts and is dwarfed by the resources of Glasgow City and Rangers".
Think the word suggesting is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the journalists sentence given they steal our players so I presumed that Celtic PLC pay a bigger wage than Hibs.
2-0 up at half time away to Queens Park, keeping pace with the Glasgow 3. Hearts dropped points against Partick earlier.
FT's
Glasgow City 8 Montrose 0
Hearts 1 Partick Thistle 1
Rangers 10 Aberdeen 0
Queen's Park 0 Hibernian 2
Motherwell 4 Spartans 1
Shaping up to be an exciting finish to the league. Just two points between the top four.Quote:

Next up another tough game for Hibs women against 3rd bottom Montrose who currently have a goal difference of -60 so a bit of a step up in class from today.
Next proper game for Hibs is on the 2nd March against Celtic. The team will be well rested for that challenge after the Queens Park and Montrose processions.
A great effort by the team, management and coaches this season to be in the mix with the big 3 at this stage.
Hibs will remarkably be equal top of the SWPL after 21 games when they beat Montrose on Sunday!
The result we wanted to see tonight came to pass when Celtic and Glasgow City drew.
P.S. Rangers will make it a 4 way tie at the top if, as is likely, they beat Partick Thistle on Sunday
Is there only 2 games left?Quote:

If we beat Montrose that will be a terrific effort to be joint equal top on points with 3 much better funded squads. Who knows what will happen as pressure is now very much a part of the run in and that can sometimes change the way teams play. Brilliant from the Women.

What a win!
Fantastic. What a day!
Brilliant win and brilliant to see the Hibees Girls in and about the trophies amidst some stiff competition from the West. Here's hoping for some silverware this season!
Absolutely brilliant season Hibs Women are having.
Proving themselves again and again against the top 3.
They really have closed what was becoming a chasm to the weegie teams!
(Whisper) Hearts woman have made strides forward this season as well. Great result for them today.
After the split does it start on zero points again.
It's like old times with Hibs and Glasgow City at the top of the league.
Hoping for a happier ending though!
What a day for the Hibees all round!Quote:

Glasgow City v Rangers
Can any regulars or semi-regulars at Meadow Bank let us know what the deal with tickets are?
See they're offering a five-match post-split package so it may well be they're sold out, but is there any chance of individual Hearts or Rangers tickets becoming available? I can't remember if there were any benefits for men's season ticket holders and Hibs Kids members too.
Thanks in advance...
Cup final v Rangers looming on Saturday. We'll be in Glasgow overnight on Friday so probably travelling to the game from there but hopefully a decent number coming from Edinburgh.
Hopefully a big travelling support through to Fir Park this weekend no men’s game so would like to think we will get behind the girls on to cup glory they’re on a great run and deserve this 🇳🇬

Are the women likely to lose any key players this summer? They tend to lose a few each season and i hope they can hold on to the majority of the team this year.
They seem to have a really promising squad and great spirit at the moment. Would be good to keep them at the club.
Of those that are currently Hibs players I'd be surprised if they moved any higher at this point.Quote:

If they count for their parent club that's 1 less for Hibs and 1 less for Motherwell and 1 more for Glasgow City and 1 more for Rangers as you suggest
:thumbsup:
Keeper Clachers will go back to her parent club Glasgow City after this season which is a big blow.Quote:

Half time. One nil to Hibs, Rosie Livingston pretty much last kick of the ball before the whistle. They are playing well, deserve to be in front.
That's a relief. The games against Motherwell are the only easy post split games so a must win.Quote:

Top of the league by two points. Great weekend all round for the Hibees.
Rangers look to be building up a head of steam mind you, having stuck nine goals past ourselves and Hearts in the last week.
Rachael Boyle's still one of the best ball playing midfielders in the league, not to mention the value of a player with her experience brings, I'd rather a new deal.Quote:

I'm sure you know far more about the ins and outs of the womens team finances and structure than me so I apologise if i'm well off the mark. Also suspect Rachael played for many years for little in return so it's probably unfair to compare her with KM. Suspect she has also done a lot of work behind the scenes for the womens team over the last few years.
Clachers coming back would be great. Strange that she signed such a long contract at City. Does she have any monetary value? Can City recall her if their No1 gets injured?

Yeah, that's an apples and oranges comparison. Magennis never put a run together in the team, and has always been a sicknote player. You can't compare him to the club captain, one of the beating hearts of the team and, still one of the best midfielders in the league who's just had a bit of bad luck (remember part of the reason she missed football is because she was having a baby, it wasn't injuries).Quote:

Rachael is nowhere near the level she was. She is very much at the end of her career. Only the very best in the women's game play to a decent level post 30.Quote:

We will see a departure from the previous earlier retirement age for players as the rise in professionalism continues and always access to better support, resources, and equipment. It will be less the reserve of the very best and become more of a norm.
Up until fairly recently the women all had to have jobs or go to college/uni. They weren't professional athletes as they weren't full time or paid. The advance in recent times is massive for them, this season I see a big turnaround in their physicality and stamina and that's down to their hard work and I guess the availability of time and facilities for them. It's not that long ago that they played on the public pitches at Broxburn. It'll be interesting to see the next generation of girls coming through who will have grown up with similar opportunities to the boys.Quote:

Hopefully the girls coming through now and in the future will show the benefits of what the current squads have worked hard to gain. I think the futures definitely better for the women's game.
