If we beat Morton in two weeks' time..

[Diclonius]

That's a clean sweep of every team in this division over nine games.

Aside from 1998-99 have we ever done that before?

[Stanton]

A very difficult ....but very key game ...a win will set us up for a great December IMO ....

[Hibby Bairn]

My very first Hibs game was against Morton. Circa 1973. Won 5-0. The sort of scoreline Hibs should be expecting against a club like Morton every time we play them imo.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Reckon this will be a really tough game. Looking forward to it though

You're entitled to your opinion, but don't be daft.

Do you seriously think it's realistic for Hibs (or any team) to be beating a team sitting only two places behind them in the same league by five goals "every time we play them"? No team does that.

Football's just not like that. Greenock Morton are no Barcelona of course, but they are well organised and will be difficult opponents on their own ground.

I'm not being daft mate. Just reflecting on where we are just now v where we should be. A bit like 0-7 v Malmo. We were happy to let our manager carry on after that match. Expectations and standards fell badly.

I think Stubbs has instilled a winning mentality back into our whole club. And I think we should be going to EVERY ground expecting to win. Especially clubs like Morton.

I'll settle for 2 or 3 on this occasion. 😎

Didn't Andy Ritchie miss a penalty?

Morton will make things tough for us As with other teams they see us as a scalp We have no Devine right to win any game If we want to win we will have to put the effort in and play well GGTTH

It's fine going to every ground expecting to win, and I presume you are talking about in the Championship? But in football it doesn't always work that way as anyone who has followed Hibs, or football generally, will surely understand.

It's your comment about expecting Hibs to beat teams like Morton by scorelines of 5-0 "every time we play them" I disagree with though. It's disrespectful to clubs like Morton, and completely unrealistic IMO.

I know you would never hear professionals like Alan Stubbs, for example, coming out with a comment like that. Some fans sometimes get a wee bit carried away at times.

I hope you're right about 2 or 3 (nil)!

Not sure. Was too busy eating my Wagon Wheel. Bought it from the boy walking around the red ash perimeter with the tray around his neck. 👍

Nah. We need to get back to a bit of arrogance. We are Hibs FFS.

Aye OK then. Good luck with beating them 5-0 every time we play them. That would be great, but it's never happened since the clubs were formed, but hey ho you never know.

You never said if you meant winning every game in the Championship. I assume that's what you meant?

I prefer the term playing with confidence, rather than arrogance. Arrogance is something I associate with clubs like Celtic and The Rangers and their supporters.

Unless I am mistaken, the last time Hibs played Morton they lost in a League Cup tie at Easter Road.

Hibs first match in Division One after relegation in 1998 was away to Morton and they made very hard work of winning it 1-0 with a late goal.

[Sir David Gray]

Morton have won their last three home league games without conceding a goal so i'm not expecting a cricket score.

A repeat of yesterday's result will do me just fine.

We beat them earlier this season at Easter Road.

Basher last minute. I took my son. First time on a terracing for him. Before the game he went to the toilet and came out asking where he could wSh his hands. I told him Edinburgh.

First time me and my mate Stevie visited Cappielow would be about 76/77.
There was a dead dog lying in the street outside the Atlantic (?) bar. It was a big dug as well.
I also recall a visit early 80s, think the pub was called the Ladybird. Sat watching an old boy devouring a paper bag full of buckies. "Poor man's oyster son, poor man's oyster"
Cant wait for this game.We didn't beat them 5-0 on either occasion though.

Missed one at Easter Road. Recollection it went over the cowshed.

[cabbageandribs1875]

31 years last time Moton beat us in a league game (0-4) at ER, got them back in 85 winning 5-1, clubs didn't get killed back then


they did beat us 4-3 in the LC at ER 7 years ago

Mine too but it was in the 80s. Andy Gorum scored for Hibs that day and think we won 3-1.

We were also happy to let our manager continue after losing 6-2 to Rangers. Standards fall badly there too or are people just able to look past 1 result?

Yes exactly, we are Hibs. We have no right to beat anyone and 1-0 with a scrappy own goal will do me just fine.

Cup.

Would we have not been better playing QOTS away rather than a cold evening game? Bigger crowd for them etc

The Ladyburn Bar ....don't think it's there anymore
when we go to greenock we come in from the east ...and Cappielow is in the east end of the town so we barely enter Greenock .....if you drive on past Cappielow fir another 10 mins you come to the town centre where there are lots of boozers and clubs ....but football visitors seldom venture beyond Cappieliw which is right on the eastern periphery of the town

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

If we beat Morton could we see a bumper crowd for the Falkrik game?

Without wishing to sound too yammish, in the last 30 years say, the supporting lifetime of a lot of our fans, what about us being Hibs gives us reason to be arrogant?

The above assumes we all understand the difference between confidence and arrogance.

[Waxy]

Sure it was against Morton Andy Goram scored.Had a great view of it from the cooshed.
