Hibernian FC thread

Just watched Hibs bottle a 2-0 lead ending up a draw 2-2.

SPL seems a lot more physical than the A-League, at times down right brutal. I'm fairly certain I saw someone with the ball get rugby tackled and then a foul given for the other team.. (????????????)

It sounds like they had a very good first half and Monty had made a difference. The hibs forum was critical of the defence for basic errors and keeper's quality. Also the synthetic pitch sounds dodgy.
Someone got a knee to the head I hear.

Watched the highlights it was all Hibs in the first half and Miller caused the own goal so played well and a full game. Second half seemed like they barely hung onto the draw. Fitness needs to be addressed and that can be fixed. No wonder Aust defenders go ok in the SPL as the defending is pretty ordinary. Kilmarnock aren’t a great team so probably lucky they played them in his first game and has some time to get things sorted.

Fittingly Kilmarnock's home ground is Rugby Park.

Unfortunately for the Mariners I can see Hibs wanting to sign Jacob Farrell, the left side of their defence looks awful, maybe they should try to nick Kye Rowles from Hearts as well if possible.

I dont think Jacob would want to go tbh.

I think when Monty gets them fit we will see a change

They would look better with Kye from Hearts and McGarry from Aberdeen. Triantis also isn't getting any game time so maybe a loan would work for him and his club.

I feel like those three all have something in common… ??

They played rugby there back in the nineteenth century.That code definitely belongs to those times.

Roger I see you are very active on Hibs forums.So far they seem more affable then Celtic fans were when Ange was first appointed.

Two totally different Clubs, Celtic want to be successful in Europe and winning is expected. Hibs aspirations are to come third.

That won't be Monty's

I'm aware of this however was just commenting on the supporters and why they may be more accepting of Monty at first compared to the up roar when Ange turned up at Celtic.

Your are right.Their European ventures have been dismal over the last few years.Their fans all hope for a repeat of 1967-ain't going to happen for the Hoops.

I doubt any side will match that feat. All the players coming from within 30 miles of the home ground.

Jock Stein and the Lisbon Lions.The days when European football was not the plaything of multimillionaires,Russian mafia types and Middle Eastern sportswashing potentates.

One of that fabled team played for and later coached Apia-Leichhardt,the redoubtable Willie Wallace.

Yes, they were unsure about Monty at first but I think that they are embracing him now. I'm not sure what Celtic were like when Ange took over soz
Try Allreet, he may some experience with that
