if that wasn't a defender they are paying £2m for a seasons loan we score.

The harsh fact is Flashscores has it is a ‘blocked shot’ that is good enough for me

I was going to make the same point. There have been times when a low number of shots on target has been a fair reflection of how we've played, but today wasn't one of them. At times we looked very good going forward.

I’m not so sure we could be described as very good going forward. Got in to good positions but real lack of composure/quality when we had good openings.

I did think we were decent for the first half hour and couldn’t believe we were losing at that point. But the reason we were, for me, was because we weren’t very good going forward, in that we didn’t make the most of our opportunities.

The finishing wasn't great, but going forward (ie. passing out from the back, through midfield and getting the ball into the box), we looked very good at times IMO.

Doidge had half a chance that unfortunately he hit over the crossbar

The fact is their goalkeeper never made a save

Was that our only chance, Billy?

i think we had nine shots just none on target
about 4 or 5 were decent chances

My point is we had 9 attempts 2 blocked 7 missed

We did not work their goalkeeper and he did not make one save

If a team came to Easter Road and never tested our keeper you would think pretty pathetic really almost disgraceful ��

Agree. I'd far rather our attempts on goal were instinctive efforts aimed to beat the goalie, with the greater risk that you might miss the target, rather than always hit safely on target and more easily saved. You don't win games based on the number of safe attempts on target. Beat the goalie is the name of the game.

NO, I'd be seriously questioning the Hibs defence if we allowed a visiting team at Easter Road as many good positions and decent chances as we had y'day.

Agree but to beat the goalie you have to get the ball between the sticks

Am I the only one that expected us to win or at the very least score never mind actually getting a shot on target?

Agree I do not think this Celtic team are all that great but they did come onto a game second half

I still cannot believe they were 2-0 up at half time

I think you might be the only one that expected us to win.

I thought we had a chance going into the game and was fairly optimistic. We created chances that on another day we’d have scored and actually probably created more against Celtic than most teams will.

The whole point of my post was to provide a counter argument to ‘not disgraced’ as no actual shots on target and a keeper making no saves is pretty poor

I guess after 60 years I am just sick and tired of going to Darkheid and getting our bi-annual doing

I am out - onwards and upwards to Friday

No, I'd actually watch the match, judging it on 90 minutes rather than one statistic.

If you are happy to accept that...fair enough

Jack Ross and his team have already moved on

Need to get back in the saddle on Friday

Let’s see what happens?

Oh ffs, no one said they were happy to accept it. That line of thinking is easily among the daftest on here.


"Oh we got beat but you didn't just slaughter the team and call them disgraceful, you must be happy to accept it"

Jack Ross and his team will be reviewing the match today or tomorrow, looking at positive and negative points so no, they haven't moved on. They'll be looking back over it, seeing where we can improve and where we did well, not just saying "no shots on target lads, ****ing disgraceful"

[lucky]

Overall I thought we played ok had a few chances and failed to test their keeper. The gap between the Old Firm and the rest is going be over 25 points by the end of the season. Taking anything of them is a bonus. Our aim is to beat the rest of the clubs to third. Hamilton is a more important game as it’s one we all expect to win

Jack Ross was quoted on Radio Forth this morning saying they had moved on and were already looking forward to Hamilton

[Carheenlea]

It’s amazing how much quicker you get over a bad result when you’re not there. Following a 3-0 away defeat the mood would have been down and the next few hours a depressing post mortem into why it happened. Instead it was just close YouTube and carry on with doing something else. Was briefly disappointed then forgot all about it - armchair viewing is definitely less stressful!

I expected us to get beat, but I'm still disappointed that we did. Does that make sense?


I'm also disappointed that we didn't score, or that their goalie was untroubled for 90 minutes. We need to do better than that the next time we play them... or I'm handing my Season Ticket back ;-)

Difficult to argue with any of that

Apart from the ST bit 😃

OK, that was a bit over the top, but I stand by the rest of it.

[Killiehibbie]

Positives from yesterday were that we created a few chances just a pity that we couldn't trouble their keeper. A hard job, winning, was made near impossible in the 8th minute.

[The 90+2]

Bills getting a hard time for nothing tbh.

Just watching the game for the second time and so far Tam McManus agrees with me

It was a free shot against Celtic you’ve got to have a go and you have got to work the keeper and most importantly you have got to keep the ball

Celtic don’t like crosses into their box either

GGTTH

[Hermit Crab]

On paper a 3-0 scoreline is a humping and people only see the score and think that was easy for Celtic which it was tbf. We got into good positions but never got the little bit of luck on the day combined with a little under par finishing from our forwards. Having no shots on target at Parkhead is a little disappointing but few teams will take points from them there this season except maybe Rangers in a few weeks time. I didn't expect us to win but I did expect us to compete a little better.

Assume you have written Ross off, like you did with Hecky, for not ''having a go'' against Celtic?


We quite clearly had a go, you are only looking at one statistic and judging everything from it. Would it really make any difference if we had 7 shots on target and still lost 3-0?

DONT!

That Hecky game in the Scottish Cup still gives me sleepless nights

I can guarantee if Lenny was our Manager that night Celtic were out

There is no way he would have allowed Broonie the freedom of Easter Road

To answer your question YES better to have fought and lost than not have fought at all

Fortune favours the brave

Who knows one might have gone in

We will never know because the keeper was never tested

He looked dodgy first half when he spilled Squirrel’s cross

Naw the one at Easter Road 0-2 one of Hecky’s first games

Hecky thought it was a good idea just to sit back

Scott Brown scored one of the goals IIRC
