Fair enough- I knew your form wasn't great but I didn't realise it was that bad. In that context I can see the frustration at another game without a win.
I knew you had gone from well in front of us to being a decent gap behind but I had put that more down to you missing a stack of games. Our form has felt a bit hit and miss but that's probably more down to how bad the defeats have been (like 3-0 at Dundee and 6-1 at home to Rangers).0 -
I know you'll be disappointed not to win after your second half showing but did you not enjoy that yesterday as a full-blooded encounter between two teams trying to score goals? Yes, there were mistakes but there was plenty of good play and attempts at goal. I've seen a lot worse this season, even in games we've won.Get yourself down there - I have always liked it but it seems even better now after lockdown etc.
Definitely more fun than watching Hibs at the mo....................
I was driving yesterday but will take note of the pub recommendations for a future visit- cheers. [emoji482]1 -
Just what we need, another defender unavailable.

Absolutely agree. As long as it's not a Ross McCormack style return.

If that's the sort of money he'd be earning then he SHOULD be going. It's pretty much his pension pot. I don't expect anyone to buy him in January but I don't expect him to be here next season and we'll have to move on.
It's been mentioned on here that the club expected Tony to leave in the summer and signed players on that basis. You wonder where we'd be in the league with KVV and Shields up front (much as I appreciate they both offer different qualities).0 -
I seem to have missed the smoke bomb/setting fire to his flag incident unfortunately.
And I have to say, what a shambles Leith Walk is.0 -
He did alright without doing anything spectacular (although should have scored in the first half). Fairly disciplined performance to let others try to create.
Eta: on that showing he's more capable than Grimmy of finding a team-mate with a pass but lacks crazy head-down runs.
Eta2: just watching Sportscene and heard the comment - I didn't know Cornelius came through at Hibs.1 -
Really enjoyed my first away game of the season. Took my dad, had a nice lunch in Vittoria's on Leith Walk and it was a compelling game of football. Both teams will no doubt feel they should have scored more but a draw was probably fair. Some real crazy end to end stuff at times, particularly when Motherwell had a good chance then Hibs ran up the park and had a shot blocked before hitting the bar.
Also, the crowd was announced as 15 thousand and something - have Hibs gone down the Old Firm route of counting all season tickets whether they're there or not because it looked a lot less than that?0 -
Cheers.

Where was the Hibs v Motherwell game in the running order? So I know when to tune in to the later showing.

The club are heavily involved in suicide awareness programmes and mental health issues. He hopefully won't need it but I'm sure if he does that any support required will be available. We also have a reputation for helping players fit in so hopefully he'll feel right at home and make an impact on the pitch.

Yeah, incredible that we now see Lamie going off injured as a blow.If you'd told me we were playing Lamie & Mugabi at the back regularly 12 months ago I'd be seeking medical attention. But the two of them have turned it right around and are a pair of genuinely serviceable defenders.1 -
Great episode- best of the series in my opinion. I normally get it on catch-up but watched it live as my wife went to bed. Maybe that helped my enjoyment or maybe the few beers did (that I wouldn't normally have on a Saturday morning) but tremendous fun either way.

Few nice beers tonight. It might seem daft but I really like how plain the bottle is when you take the wrapper off a bottle of Bacchus. It went lovely with a nice Graham's tawny port.

As above, congratulations Dr. Hedgecutter. Enjoy your celebrations.Well, it's not every Friday that you get a PhD award letter in the post.
Out of interest, is this a strange of time of year to be notified or does it depend when you finish your thesis?1 -
That's quite a read - an incredibly difficult life and obviously a very strong young man.

For some reason I've always thought that games between Motherwell and Hibs tend to be much more entertaining than our average games. Don't get me wrong, they can be one-sided either way and both sides have dished out doings but there tends to be some quality football breaking out at times. So, after all that, nil-nil draw tomorrow?

A Boy Called Christmas. Sky Original Christmas film - tedious, saccharine shite. Felt as though it had been written as a school project with a clumsily-written script and wooden acting. Lots of big names but they're absolutely dialling it in.
And what's intended as the big twist is obvious after about 5 minutes (but maybe I'm reading too much into a kids' film).
Anyway, bah humbug. [emoji3167][emoji319]0 -
I saw ticket sales are through ticketmaster so tried their app but they only seem to be selling home tickets.

How did Forrest not score there? [emoji16]

You'd need to take Nick Cusack with you!If there is one thing that would put me off my dinner, it would be the sight of Dave McPherson - one of my most hated players of all time.
I've just looked and buying a ticket for this game and the only option seems to be to collect it from Fir Park. I've not been to an away game this season - is there not an option to get an electronic ticket?0 -
I know we have a day extra to recover but our players must have been a whole new level of knackered after battling through that on Tuesday night.
I've not been to an away game this season but am thinking of heading through. I have no idea what to expect from us but fancy a wee day out (not putting up Christmas decorations).0 -
Sportscene have managed to find a Dundee United shot to show.

Don't know why but I didn't realise Maguire was playing last night until he covered at right-back before SOD could come on. Not as bad as 7 weeks though [emoji6]Given it was about week 7 before I realised Campbell doesn't play for us anymore, yeah, would pretty much agree.
Are we going to finish top 6 because everyone else can't win games?0

This is all a bit strange - I seem to be in agreement with the various Rangers fans on here. We've got separate accounts and a joint account which we both have standing orders to pay in to cover bills including the credit card. We're fortunate in being able to pay off the credit card bill in full each month so also use one of the cash back versions. It might sounds a bit odd but stems from when I moved in with her and working from one account seemed a step too far. Works for us - if she wants to spend money on handbags and I want to spend silly amounts to watch Motherwell then we can't complain as long we can pay our way.
