home side down to 10
can't go around trying to maim the opposition players
Hearts down to 10, bad tackle on Powell in centre of pitch. Really bad tackle, could have been a leg breaker!
Hertz thug forward sent off, battered our goalie and booked , 5 mins later a late tackle and off she goes!
Half time 1-0 to hearts
Hunter, Murray and Tweedie all starting - we must have loads of injuries?
very poor goal keeping 2-0
Really poor goal to lose. Goalkeeping is much slower to develop in the women's game that the outfield play
A lot of them look far too timid, slow and unfit.
They're shocking going forward and show little threat in and around the box. The defence and goalkeeper aren't up to much either.
Playing against 10 for the majority of the game didn't make the blindest bit of difference either, very poor standard compared to our ladies teams of the past.
Jesus, this is making the men's team look like worldbeaters. They've gone way downhill since I watched them at ER.
Awful from start to finish. I can only presume we had injuries otherwise to give a young keeper her debut in such a game is daft. She looked out of her depth and had the poorest performance I’ve seen from a Hibs keeper in a long time (if ever). So many passengers tonight. I thought Hearts looked up for it from the start and bullied us all over the park. The extra player for 70 minutes made no difference and we couldn’t have complained had the score been more! Positive mentions for Bowie and Powell who I thought gave everything tonight.
The result was inevitable as soon as that team sheet was released but to play against 10 for so long and still lose is salt to the wound.
Think it's time to stop showing so much loyalty to the older players in the squad, need a real freshen up next season and going to have to replace JB.
Was a really weird team selection - it’s obvious several players are past it but still play.Quote:

What’s the story with the GK ?
Really poor from Hibs - can’t see them over taking Hearts in league now with the gap and remaining fixtures.
Bit of a let down tonight and we just didn't turn up, even against 10. Classic derby match, they bullied us and wanted it more. As others said, team selection was indicative of injuries and pass marks for Bowie and Powell.
First time at a match at Oriam... Not a great place to watch football.
Never been. It looked a pretty awful venue on TV tho. Why were they playing the game there? We've won the last two derbies at Tynecastle and ER in front of much better crowds.Quote:

It’s an issue for the women’s Scottish cup final too - playing it at Hampden which is exciting for players / coaches and probably some fans but doesn’t do anything for the occasion.
Spartans is fine for pretty much every game any women’s Scottish team will play. Zero point in having a 5000 stadium when they only get about 100 fans at most games.
Meadowbank is more than sufficient size wise for every game outside the derbies, unfortunately it’s just an awful awful place to watch football.Quote:

Obviously over time if Hibs (moving to training centre new pitch) and Hearts want to improve they will need to improve their facilities for fans (which aren’t Tynie and ER).
Oriam / Meadowbank / Spartans just don’t sell the league on tv / YouTube etc.
didn't watch it but that's a great result for Hearts beating Rangers 1-0, first ever win against a top three side
Montrose 2 Aberdeen 3
Celtic 1 Hibernian 0
Spartans 2 Motherwell 2
Glasgow City 4 Partick Thistle 1
Hamilton Accies 5 Dundee United 2
Looking like they're getting stronger than us in the women's game as well as the men's.Quote:

That will be a loss to the Hibs girls academy.
He’s not been involved much on the academy side - the womens assistant manager is in charge of the academy. Maybe Paul felt he was moving more to the community side of things?Quote:

None of these roles are really full time. He's managed / coached dozens of teams in the last few years.Quote:

Went along last night.
Dreadfully poor performance (second half especially) and shambolic defending at times.
Inconsistent team selection and forwards increasingly isolated most weeks.
It's been a disappointing last few weeks.
