St Mirren 1 v 2 Hibernian FT

[R'Albin]

Hopefully we'll be able to grab out first win of the season against St Mirren today. With the Kuqi monster able to play I'm a lot more confident in us going forward than I have been in a long time, so I think we have a decent chance.

Now for the questions that would be answered if I didn't ask them anyway - Any Team News? What's the weather like in Paisley today?

St Mirren 0 - 1 Hibs Griffiths 16

[brydekirk]

Never felt as confident about getting a good result for years, mon the cabbage

[jamiehibee]

Mon the hibees!

[Keith_M]

It's currently 26C and heading for a scorcher so get out the sun cream....

....if you're heading for Munich.


No idea what the weather's like in sunny Paisley




Am I the only person that's detected a sea change of confidence levels among the fans from just six days ago? A lot of people were predicting yet another humiliating derby defeat, a long hard season ahead and a quick exit for Fenlon. How have so many people's confidence levels risen in such a short space of time?

Grey and wet this morning in the west but the sun is threatening to break through and we have a few patches of blue sky.
Perfect conditions for a game...

[matty_f]

Think the confidence has gone up because Maybury improved the defence, Deegan improved the midfield, and we now have Kuqi to help up front.

[HH81]

Hopefully can get season off and running today. Is kiwi starting?

That's probably what it is Matty but I'm still amazed at the difference since last week.


By all accounts, Hibs deserved to win and really got stuck in, which in itself is a great improvement. I personally have been hoping for a bit more firepower in attack, or even just a big ********* that Griffiths and Doyle could play off, so that is defo progress.

Also, there's nothing quite so fickle as a football fan



I hope everyone going enjoys the game today.

[Hibstrooper]

Leaving from Bathgate in about 45 minutes - Official site suggests taking M74 then rejoining M8, is that what folk would recommend doing? Surely the M8 aint going to be that bad?

[shetlandhibee]

for some reason i had a dream last night that we will win 2-1

GGTTH!!

[nonshinyfinish]

K is for Kuqi...

Its great

24c up here Aberdeen

[Billy Whizz]

I think we need to get a win today to get our season up and running, think it will be tough and might end up a draw

[essexhibee]

Really hoping we can kick off from last weeks performance and play well today. Too many times before we have played well then pish the next.

Should have won last week imo and we are gonna do it today.

[johnrebus]

Don't want to pee on anyone's parade but we have heard all this, 'feeling confident stuff', after signing a few players before and it has all gone pear

shaped.


But I want to be wrong

[SteveHFC]

Hibs to win 9-0 Today

[nonshinyfinish]

Number of fans injured while attempting the Kuqi Monster celebration to hit double figures.

[Sean1875]

Will Kuqi be fit to play? As in has he had any match practice recently?

[Northernhibee]

I'm always a curse so St Mirren to draw or win, not good enough Hibs, booooooo, GTF Nutsy

(:pfgwa

Yes do that (M74)as its avoids the City Centre bit of M8 and more importantly the Kingston Bridge

We need steady improvement and consistency of selection........something I can barely remember

[Northernhibee]

Would go:

Williams
Clancy McPake Hanlon Maybury
W'spoon Deegan Claros Cairney
Griffiths Doyle

Bring on the Kuqi monster as a sub this time around.

[soupy]

[oconnors_strip]

Only taken us 40 minutes from livi to paisley on the bus via m74 and passed lots of Huns!!! Booo

[hibeedonald]

1-0 ross county

[SlickShoes]

Anyone coming through try to avoid the Ibrox area since they are at home today so the M8 around there could be congested and paisley road area will be too, I am just beyond there to just getting a train along the road to smelly paisley, a place I live 5 minutes from but have never been to until today.
