Scant Consolation (they aren't very good either)

Hearts got wellied at hame and we actually made up on them with one goal difference today

Ken the team we beat away on the first game of the season? Well they beat the ****bos at the Pink Palace

So whats that FJK..Draw at hame to Super 'J's...Draw at hame to Dundee utd and pumped at hame by Murderwell..I know Hibernian's own predicament at home which has been well documented is not the best,But ill take this moment to say GIFRUY ****bo barstewards

.

Seems we get more negative press than any other team in the country, Maybe some justified, But im not forgettin you smelly tramps got snottered at hame!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Andy74** · 25-09-2010 04:39 PM

The media are just reporting what the fans are making it. We lost at home to rangers in a game we played well in and drew two games at home we should have won.

In my time watching hibs that's rarely been a catastrophe. Added to finishing 4th last year it's still a bit puzzling to me the level this has all got to.

4 wins in 27 games. It's a ****ing catastrophe all right.

**big-mo** · 25-09-2010 04:53 PM

Just to put our poor win record at home in perspective, Hearts last home win was on 10th April. It does not help us but it does help people in glass houses.

4 wins in our last 27 games and your puzzled by how the fans are reacting

If our form doesn't dramatically improve we're faced with a relegation fight this year! But hey, we're Hibs, we should just accept that

Out of Europe at first time of asking, out of League Cup at first time of asking, 5 points out of 18 in league (Irrespective of how we played in games), top striker sold to rivals, crowds falling and only 1 point off bottom of league.

Might not be a catastrophe yet but certainly good starting point for one.

**Andy74** · 25-09-2010 05:13 PM

Depends if you think the poor run last year and our start this year are in any way linked or if you think there is an real indicator to how the rest of the season will go.

I think talking about relegation is a bit ridiculous but each to their own and we'll see how it turns out.

Are you not concerned about our difficuilt upcoming fixtures?

I agree that i don't think relegation talk at this stage is realistic, however i am concerned that after the next 6 games we'll be bottom of the league and if that is the case then it might start to be a bit more of a realistic possibility

Of course they're linked, it's the results the team have managed

I'll say it again for you, 4 wins in our last 27 games. In that time i think we've kept 2 clean sheets. If we continue with that form we'll be in a relegation battle. that's not ridiculous, it's a fact!

**Andy74** · 25-09-2010 05:20 PM

It's not a fact that we'll continue with that form though.

What indicators? If we can't win when when allegedly playing well what's it gonna be like when we're playing badly

I agree talking relegation this early is ridiculous but if this form continues and confidence levels keep getting hit we are by no means insulated from being dragged in to a relegation dogfight. No team from 3rd down is either.

**Vini1875** · 25-09-2010 05:24 PM

Talking about relegation at this stage is ridiculus, however Yogi has shown no sign of being able to turn things around and that is why panic buttons are being pushed. In this league a very short run of wins would see any team climb the league very quickly. The OF apart none of the rest have shown any kind of consistency, which is why anyone could be relegated or end up third. A couple of wins from Hibs would see the fans pendulum swing from despair into optimistic hope.

**Andy74** · 25-09-2010 05:24 PM

I do see all these things but as passionate as I am about hibs I am quite relaxed about the current form.

I'm not quite as relaxed about the tension the fans are creating and it's potential to worsen our situation though.

It's probably exacerbated by the fact we've led in so many of those games (Hearts, Ross County TWICE, Dundee United, Inverness, Hamilton, Celtic last season, Killie last Wednesday, the 6-6 game) only to throw the advantages away in increasingly predictable manners. Emphasises what most people still believe, that the team should be a damn sight better than that four in 27 game statistic. The spineless nature of these games is something that isn't reflecting well on Hughes at all and suggests he doesn't have the know-how or ability to actually pick up points at this stage.

He's also not helped by the fact his only successes in six cup games have been against Irvine Meadow and Montrose. And what do you know, we've also been ahead in the ties we haven't gone on to win.

Some of the abuse might be OTT, some of it might lean heavily towards hyperbole instead of reason, but the basis of the anti-Hughes sentiment is more than understandable.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 25-09-2010 05:34 PM

Whilst we are having a mare i couldnae give a flying one about they canoots, lets concentrate on whats going on with us. Lets laugh at them cos they are pish too, doesnae do it for me.

A great point, whereas we are all about to jump off the Forth bridge, want managers sacked, want some players lynched, want some board members to GTF, the Jambos will still be telling everyone who will listen that they are capable of splitting the OF, that they are Scotlands third force etc etc. Even after all of the crap they have put up with over there they do get behind their team more than we do, and that pains me to say so.

The only consolation i see wi the tramps getting humped at home tae well is that this place will smell a bit fresher ...for a week at least ...

Between us tippy-tappying the ball then losing posession and Hertz launching it to Kyle and losing posession, Edinburgh football is in a bad way this season.

The Derby is going to be an utter snorefest.

I can see it now.

"Bamba, passes to Dickoh, thinks about going forward, passes to Bamaba, back to Dickoh, over to Grounds, back to Bamba, Bamba passes back to Brown, Brown launches it, Eggert Jonson collects the ball. Long ball to Kyle, not a good one. Grounds gets posession. Passes to Bamba..."

In the last week or so Jim Jeffries has repeatedly stated that he, and he alone picks the Hearts team every week.

Yet it has been widely reported over the last day or so that he would be phoning Mr Romanov about fielding ostracised contract rebel Zaliukas due to a problem with injuries and bad form to their array of centre backs.

Yet, I have just seen a photograph of the aforementioned Lithuanian defender sitting in the stand this afternoon.

What can this mean?

That there is an unhealthy obsession with Hearts on Hibs.net at times?

It means FJK does what he is told. Utter slavering muppet of a man.

Why is that then?

**Barney McGrew** · 25-09-2010 07:15 PM

Aye, a distinct lack of pink interlopers on here tonight.

Maybe it's the fact that although we're absolutely honking, have a manager with no tactics and cannae buy a win, and despite the fact that they have their super-duper savior manager and star striker in place they're only a massive three (yes, three) points ahead of us.

As has been said above, Edinburgh fitba is rank rotten at the moment.
