Was Lee Johnson not saying he found Scottish football a bit amateurish due to not having a fourth official for one of the games?

That only adds to the hilarity of this situation.

The admin of putting the numbers into the sub board must have been too much for the Hibs brain trust

I’m not sure it’s an overreaction to be utterly shiting yourself for the season ahead after failing to beat Morton and Falkirk. We were bad last season and somehow look worse now. 

We failed to beat Annan, have Elliot Parish as first choice keeper, and Stevie May is our only fit striker.

5 of the last 11 League Cups have been won by clubs who aren't Rangers or Celtic* (that's 45%). Of those clubs, 3 of them beat Celtic on the way to the trophy. The whole point of playing in these competitions for bigger clubs is to try and win them, or at least to give their fans a day out at a big final. Supporters of teams who are doing badly in it (eg Hibernian, St Mirren, St Johnstone) don't get to arbitrarily redefine it as pre-season just to avoid embarrassment.

*Incidentally, 0 of the last 11 League Cups have been won by Rangers.

 

The cups are one of the best aspects of our game, if reasonable teams stop trying to win them then we may as well stop.

 

They way I see it is Quarter Finals is a reasonably attainable aim for all Premiership teams outside those 2 for both cups (depending on draw, luck etc. )

The more Quarter & Semi finals you get to the more chance you have to get to a final & winning something as I guess it's rare for a team to have 1 cup run & win.

Low expectations for the upcoming season might just be the way to go,the only way is up so what else could possibly go wrong.Imagine being one of the arse cheeks when you expect the treble every year,the only way is down and the rest of us get to laugh at the resulting seethe,bus chasing and riot's.

After Hamilton another survival Sunday can get itself to France (with the majority of the signings over the past year)

How long is this Manager going to get at Hibs? A truly horrendous start on the pitch and an embarrassing administrative oversight begs the question what all the various “hangers on” actually do on a day to day basis?

Judging by the previous treatment of Messrs Ross and Maloney I reckon LJ has about 8/10 matches to get it right.

Failure to win that League Cup group is almost the point of no return in itself.

You can't just include years where the group stage wasn't being used because you think it helps your argument. You could make any point you want if you just pick out stats arbitrarily without context.

Celtic have won 5 of the 6 League Cups since the group stage was introduced. I believe only three sides who competed in the group stage have gone on to reach the final; Motherwell (2017) St Johnstone and Livingston (both 2021).

As it takes place during July, most - if not all - of the clubs taking part will be using it as part of their pre-season preparations. You can disagree with them doing that, call me a loser etc all you want but it doesn't make it any less true.

At a disciplinary hearing today (Thursday 21 July, 2022) a Committee of the Board of the SPFL charged Hibernian FC for playing Rocky Bushiri in their Premier Sports Cup Group D match against Morton at Easter Road on Wednesday 20 July, 2022. 

Rocky Bushiri played the full 90 minutes. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Morton winning the penalty shoot-out 3-1 for the bonus point.

The Tribunal imposed the following sanctions:

(i) The Club was reprimanded and warned as to future conduct;

(ii) Hibernian’s Premier Sports Cup match v Morton will be recorded as a 3-0 victory for Morton; and

(iii) A fine of £5,000, of which £4,000 is suspended until 30 June 2023 pending any further breaches of SPFL Player Regulations

Sack the lot of them. 

Start with Ben Kensall.  Bullshitted it from the day appointed and blames everyone else for his failings.  Then tell Gordon Jnr to pack his rucksack and bolt tae.
