Hibs 1 v Celtc 0 FT

[hibsbollah]

I'm putting my 100% winning record on the line today for today's 4th vs 1st clash.

Temperature in the capital is extremely mild for the time of year, 10C currently at daybreak. The forecast is for this to drop slightly to 7C by 3pm kickoff as a weather front approaches on a strong southwesterly and clearer skies follow along afterwards.

The wind direction today is bad news for us East Stand-ers, as we will be downwind of the notoriously stinky and malodorous away support.

75% chance of rain in the early afternoon, although its guesswork as to when and if it will arrive at St Clair Street and it's environs. The barometer remains at changeable, mb 989. Sunset at 3:47pm. High tide at 3:17pm. A waning full moon will be in force for the last game of 2012

Despite 2012 being the wettest year on record in the UK, apart from some second half rain on Wednesday against Ross County, Hibs home games have been almost completely rain-free since August. A strange coincidence, and further evidence that Easter Road, like the Eden project, exists in a blessed microclimate all of its own.


I predict 1-3.

[Lucius Apuleius]

Well done old chap.


Warm and humid on the Slave Coast.

I see a shock on the cards and a glorious 2-1 victory for the Cabbage.


:pfgwa

[Hibees07]

Prozak at the ready .

Hoping the Hibees have a real go at an average Celtic defence, lots off pass and go, overlapping full-backs, ball on the deck & quick play from back to front.

Expect to see, lots of sideways & backwards passing, sitting deep, long ball's forward, Celtic dominate & hardly a shot at goals.


One can but hope!

[ALF TUPPER]

6 or 7 weeks ago i couldnt wait to get Celtc.

I'll be there today , of course, cheering the boys on - but fear the worst now after recent performances!

Come on the Hibeeeeees !

[HibeeN]

I have a feeling about today! Hope the players up their game and at least give a good go of it. I'm not expecting us to win, but if we get a more encouraging performance out of today than recent weeks I will be pleased.

[Pretty Boy]

Can't make today due to work so will be following updates on here rather than the awful Open All Mics.

Fearing the worst sadly. 1-4.

Thought bbc radio scotland might put it on?

[JimBHibees]

I want to see a passionate and aggressive Hibernian home performance backed by a noisy and committed support. Thomson will no doubt revel in his pantomime villian role. Come on Hibees.

[RamblingJack]

A very pleasant 23 degrees here today,i will walk down to my local bar and watch the match on the telly.

[Forza Fred]

I'm reluctant to predict a score as I dont know which HIbs will be turning up today

However, if we lose an early goal I fear a humping, and if that happens then the usual..'We need to do better' will not be acceptable if trotted out by the manager.

We've known for months we need to do better...let's just do better!

Oh, and it was a lovely 28 degrees in sunny Sydney today, but for the first time in three days, I was unable to jump in the pool to cool off due to other pressing engagements

[joe breezy]

Celtic aren't world beaters all the time - if we organise and press I hope that we can get a draw - if we have a sloppy leaky defense then 3-0 for them but as always I'm going optimistically.

West Stand today for me - Leigh Griffiths to find the net

[Russell The Dug]

0-2 two Celtic pens.

Don't do anything stupid boys that will assist Thompson on banning from the derby. Horrible erse will be dying to help them.

[hibsbollah]

Thomson has refed us three times this season and he's given us the best of the decisions each time.

[#FromTheCapital]

Will be making my way to leith in an hour or so. Looking forward to it, if nothing else it should be a better atmosphere than previous home games... Well at least until 3pm ;-)

Can't really see anything other than a defeat, will be absolutely delighted with a point.
But unfortunately my prediction is 3-1 Celtic

Not against Celtic and not directly before a derby but I see your point.

Thomson or not, no daft mistakes from the team today as its far too easy to lose a man against either of the old firm history has shown us.

But on the bright side im told the heating will be on in the alhambra

[silverhibee]

Pishing down with rain in the Capital, the soapdodgers won't like that.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

26o here in Dubai. Just left the pool and looking for a bar to watch the game-struggling at the moment. Sadly fear a 1-3 score. Fingers crossed for better tho...GGTTH

[Judas Iscariot]

Any team news?

Would like to see us line up..

Williams

Clancy McPake McGivern Hanlon

Wotherspoon Deegan Cairney Claros Doyle

Griffiths

Cairney pushing forward from a central area to support LG, would have to keep the ball on the deck much more than we have done in the last few weeks though...

I wouldn't have thought it'd be on anywhere.

Unless Alba are showing the game later as live and you can pick up a dodgy feed somewhere, but I'm doubtful.

You're that optimistic?

It's been four years since we last even scored at home to Celtic in the league.

It's been three years since we last scored at home to Celtic in the league.

It was about 3 years since we beat hearts and we managed a victory there. Remember we have already played them this season and scored twice

[HibeeN]

Absolutely pouring. Normally sit up the back of the East stand but I'm taking my dad and we're in row H this time. Likely to get soaked?

[OsloHibs]

Right away to wade through 6 feet of snow to get to work.. and listen to all the Man Utd fans drivvvvel
Hopefully when I come on here later, it'll be all happy & postive with ZERO p*sh.

One can dream!


COME ON HIBS :pfgwa
