Terrible from both teams. Point is welcomed but we've been dragged back into relegation battle. Tremendous again from AJ refusing to bring on the required fresh legs.

Whit? We've just taken four points off the top two sides.

This Hibs side under Lennon is utter torture. 

He was actually delighted with a point too. Gray on for Cummings in the last couple of minutes f**k sake :lol:

Neither side deserves three points there, a point for each side is more than fair.

 

I was shouting for a handball at the time but I'd still like to see it again just to be sure.

 

I'm still not quite sure why Cummings didn't get booked for quite obvious dissent and McGregor for a clear dive despite being one of the biggest players in the country.

Strange game. First half Hibs were strolling it and our best chance came from a mistake by their shaky looking defence. Second half it was like we realised that Hibs aren't actually very good and went for it in a manner that we've not actually done when drawing at home to lesser teams. A draw was probably fair enough in the end as both keepers had roughly the same amount to do - one good save each and a couple of tips over the bar. 

The penalty looked like one of those where you'd be raging if it was given against you and arguably shouldn't be, but the guy had his hands well above his head and stopped it going through so it was probably the right call. The referee was wildly inconsistent though, making for a frustrating afternoon and a difficult one for players to know where they stood. Some of the yellows looked harsh and other bad fouls (and at least three episodes of dissent) went unpunished. 

On top of that, who decided that either sets of fans were likely to invade the park at the end? A total embarrassment from the police and stewards as per the norm on Scotland.

Dragged into the relegation battle, by pulling a point further clear of 9th? Win v Raith next week, and we'll be 9 ahead of them and they'll have 4 games left. Given they play Ayr on the last day, they won't both be able to catch us. St Mirren play Dumbarton next week too, which means at least one of them will drop points.

His job is promotion I suppose but deek the ambition of the boy.  He's going to be a fecking disaster next season unless he convinces Steve Guppy and Emile Heskey out of retirement.

Yet another week where we turn in a shitey result and it turns out to be a decent weekend for us. Lennon's a lucky boy. People (rightly) talk about our resources relative to the rest of the league but nobody is even putting up a points total against the other teams that would compete for the league in any given year.

A league with nobody even doing a good job of competing with each other and Lennon's making a meal of winning it with a relatively rich Hibs team. Piss poor.

Hearts and Rangers scored something like 80 or 90 goals when they won the league. We've scored 47. Trying to address our chronic lack of goals by signing Grant Holt and Brian Graham doesn't seem to be the smartest move tbh.

Lennon's got away with murder this season really.  It's going to turn into a Robbie Neilson situation where fans of other clubs won't possibly understand why anyone here wants him to go.

Most opposition fans can see how bad you are. Take away McGinn and there's several solid but ineffective players. No creativity and playing for fouls then bullying defenders. It's just Martin O'Neil tactics from several years ago.

True, was thinking more about Premiership fans tbh.

Settle yourself.

McGeouch is the most technically gifted player in the league.
