    Floodlights

    Was it just me, or did Hibs take far too long to turn on the floodlights last night? Some of us don't have the 20/20 vision of youth and I for one am not a fan of watching 15 minutes of the game in semi darkness.

    Did they actually turn them on? Same as you was struggling a bit with the dim light from the top of west stand.

    We did seem to leave it a bit late, and my 49 year old eyes were finding it a bit gloomy for a lot of the second half.

    I mentioned that they could do with putting them on about ten minutes before they came on.

    Had this discussion with my mates at the game, the lights came on with 20 minutes to go (which was about 20 minutes to sunset), probably should have been on at half time. Maybe someone forgot to flick the switch


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    Haha wouldn't surprised me, I usually find they put them on way too early

    I did notice it was getting dark, it was only when I got back to the car that I had my sunglasses on and not my normal specs

    On Sunday I got home after a 4 hour drive (somebody else driving) and was trying to convince Madame Peeve that I really hadn't had that much to drink, when she asked me why I was still wearing my sunglasses at midnight.

    You’re not alone in this.

    When Hibs Development team played at Ainslie Park, I remember commenting on the fact that it was getting dark and that they should put the floodlights on.

    Only for all my pals to shout out “You’re wearing sunglasses “

    Oh how they laughed 😳
