Looking forward to the replay (merged)

[Ell_Chrisso]

We really are not looking forward to this replay.

Think even the most positive of Hibs fans will admit we really have not done ourselves any favours. Thats not to say its all doom and gloom.

I wasn't at the game today, but from most people's reaction and the BBC website, we can count ourselves lucky to be in a replay.

How has this team got soooo bad recently? What's going wrong?

We really should be out the cup, very lucky. Can't see us winning up there at all tbh.

I doubt we will go thru, chance gone.

I predict a comprehensive loss of 3-0. Hibs are in free-fall in terms of passion, commitment and tactical know how. Confidence has been shattered by a succession of poor results and performances, broken by a 1-0 solitary victory against a poor Kilmarnock. It's deja vu when it comes to watching Hibs - an all too familiar story. I look forward now to seeing a completed stadium, so it's not all bad news. Hopefully by then we will have resolved playing staff issues.

Most posters are postulating we have no chance in the replay in Dingwall and while i tend to agree,the last time i felt this way was away to the yams at the tail end of last season where we ran out quite comfortable winners so maybe if we all keep up the doommongering we might get a wee surprise on the 23rd,fingers crossed.

[lucky]

we are certs to turn them over up there. wee teams rarely get it right twice. Does Dingwall have a Johnny Foxes?

[CallumHibs07]

Hopefully the fury from today's game will still be there and we will win. We ****ing better win.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Hibs are a complete and utter shambles at the moment. The pitch, the team, the East stand, the management. Todays "performance" was as bad as anything I've seen since the Blobby or even Sauzee days. In this latest Cup run, we've been handed the easiest draw I can ever recall, and still we contrive to cock it up. Little wonder so few decided to attend today - cup quarterfinal at ER against lower league opp and we could fill 3 stands - pathetic.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Positives - we're in the hat for the semis. From a selfish point of view I wouldn't have made the Dundee Utd game on the 24th now I will make the rearranged match. But it's gonna be one hell of a battle to make Hampden next month, I'm not sure we have what it takes to win up there, but at least we still have the chance to do so.

Sums up how poor a team Hibs have become that we're all regarding a trip to play Ross bleedin' County (who weren't even a league side until a few years ago) as the equivalent of a trip to the Nou Camp. It was fair enough being a bit fearful of going into a derby with a weak team but to be this pessimistic about a trip to Dingwall is desperately sad.

I agree the team is a shambles, the management lacking, the pitch pathetic, but the poor wee east stand does not come into the equation. I look forward to its completion. It will look impressive to the players running out the tunnel. BTW I didn't go to todays game as it would have left me all but skint til the end of the month. It was a last minute decision. All I can say is Phew! I made the right call.

[marinello59]

We'll win.

I recall Inverness Caley being in the same boat and seen in the same light, and look at our pathetic record up there. Hibs simply don't like travelling up to the north west. it brings out the collective worst. I predict a 3-0 defeat. it's deja vu, its all too predictable..it's......well....it's Hibs.

[Broken Gnome]

I'd almost fancy us away from home now that they've had a reality check.
Hibs have started these three cup ties pathetically to be honest; Irvine Meadow and Montrose both missed sitters in the first five minutes, Ross County should've converted their free header in the same period. The first two teams were too weak to truly threaten us, but it's been almost textbook stuff in how not to deal with a lower league side - we've given them all every encouragement.

Ditch the half-arsed approach, go up there and put out a side that is capable of dictating a game without leaving wide open spaces that gives an opponent every hope that their chances will come. Most importantly, man the **** up. Apathetic fannying about nearly put us out the cup today and the same again WILL put us out the cup next week. Learn the lessons, show and bit of guts and do yourselves justice for once.

As I've said before it's the 'ah well that's Hibs for you' attitude that is a major reason the club does not have as much success as it should. Too many fans just accept that 'we are crap up north' rather than make the club aware that such a state of affairs is unacceptable, not to mention embarrassing. It is pathetic that we fear such games. I dearly hope I'm wrong and we pull of a win in the replay but nothing I've seen from the current side has shown me they have the spine for such a game.

Some of the posts on this and other threads are awful. So bad, they have to be yams.

Get a grip of yourselves FFS and stop wetting your pants.

Bookies will have us as Fav's to win............and they're not often wrong.

"not often wrong" i said. They were today. But then anybody that goes to ER regularly will know that we were always going to be up against it today. But then I thought the players would have thought that too, but no eh!

After nearly 50 years of watching Hibs, I have every right to resign myself to a typical Hibs result, but the players, who are half of my age have no right to go to places like Dingwall, or Inverness Caley and give up before a ball's been kicked.

[MacBean]

Does anyone else think that Yogi needs to come out and show shis anger at the team? we have been nothing short of sh*** the last month or so and i cant see how he can keep saying "the lads have done this for the me this season" etc... we ahve been murder of late!!

[God Petrie]

How on earth do you get to Dingwall? Looks like an 8 hour round trip at least.

Really in two minds about this one. It will be brilliant if Hibs win and we've made the effort to go up but a defeat will be absolute misery and, at the moment, a defeat seems likely.

Going to have to stay a night at least and if Hibs get beat I can't see me ever putting in the effort in again to go to awkward away games.

What's the general consensus and when's the game likely to take place. I love the games where the pure hardcore are there but jesus this is pushing it.

[PC Stamp]

Up to Inverness, over the Kessock Bridge and head on about another 15 miles or so! Replay is Tuesday 23rd March.

[Killiehibbie]

Up past Inverness it's a straight road. 23rd I heard. Give yourself plenty time to get there but quicker back down at 10 o'clock.

[Calvin]

Port Seton to Dingwall is clocking in at 3hrs 38 according to Google.

Hoping we can tan it up the A90 and do it in just over 3.

Got to Cairngorm in 2hrs 35 last week so hopefully more of the same.

[hibs0666]

Will be a good night as only the hardcore will make the effort.
