Match Thread Hibernian 1 - 2 Aberdeen

[BWG]

You listening Panda? Your days are numbered chum.

Remember it's not their fault because they get the stats from somewhere else.

Remember it's not their fault because they get the stats from somewhere else.

Exactly!

 

After all a guy selling donkey meat pies takes no responsibility as it's all the fault of the butcher who provided the donkey meat.

[SheepieBaaBaa]

Yep And we did that

 

We didn't go for Mallan and In hindsight it was the right decision

 

But how can you know that?  Perhaps the coaching at Hibs didn't suit him and if we had taken him instead of Forrester we would have another midfield superstar on our hands.

[The Eleven from the Don]

Fuck Hibs bunch of mini tim no marks.

[HairyPie]

I've watched the boy Gauld the last two games he has played now. 

 

HairyPie's judgement: pish.

[BWG]

I'd still rather Gauld than Forrester. Then again I'd rather ebola than Forrester.

[tightbreeks]

That was easy, should've been 4 or 5.

 

A dandy got lifted at half time at the smoking bit. Weekend in Dalkeith?

[shooftahmooftah]

Exactly!

But it's donkeys like you that eat them.

[fine-n-dandy]

Sitting waiting on us to lose so he can have a rant about McInnes here btw.

?????

We hung on, done well to do so but it was a touching cloth last fifteen.

 

Not sure what you feel I would have a rant about McInnes here though. Started correct players. Two enforced subs.

 

You're trying to make it sound like I bitch regardless. Which is bullshit btw. I only bitch/rant when i feel it is deserved.

 

Sad cunt ye are

You post heaps after a loss but barely at all after a win.

 

You're a moaning bastard is the point I'm making.

[TheRock]

Thought it was one of the best atmospheres in a while. Singing all the way through and on the way out as well.

 

I know it's not as much fun when you aren't winning but Hibs fans barely made a peep the whole game

[maryhilldon]

Surprised we made our final sub with half an hour to play, that couldve came back to bite the way our lucks been with injuries.

[Reed or deed]

He bitches and whinges like a little girl.

 

I think we should call him Samantha.

No thats FnD's sex doll.

No am actually suffering the worst case of man flu ever.

 

Win,lose,draw doesn't dictate how much I post. You are full of shit.

 

You are having a go at me for slating McInnes when I haven't. In fact it was the opposite.

 

Yer a fanny

[Shinniesta]

Michael Stewart pointing out on Sportscene that the formation we played vs Hibs was a 3-4-1-2. I wonder if this is something McInnes is thinking of utilising more especially once he has McKenna, Hoban and Devlin all available.

From memory is that not what we did v Burnley at home?

I thought Hoban played LB at Pittodrie against them and defensive midfield in the return?

[craegDAMH]

We switched it to a back five when they brought on Wood and we were clinging on in the home tie.

Vokes wasn’t it? Wood started and he was shite.

Did we?  Pretty sure Logan played his usual right back position, so not sure where Stewart got that from...

[Jimmy Grimble]

Yep, no way at all did we ever go back 3.  Flat back four with Hoban playing the right of the two centre halfs.  Shinnie and Gerguson in front although second half shinnie seemed to be everywhere.  Front 4 all very interchangable but if had to pick a formation it would be 4-2-3-1 that we started with.

[Shinniesta]

I only saw the highlights so I don't know it's hard to tell from watching a couple of minutes of action. Stewart commentated on the whole game for BBC Radio Scotland on Saturday and that was his observation. I must admit I'd have been surprised if McInnes went to a back 3 on Saturday. I do think it's a decent option to have once Devlin and McKenna are fit.

[Foster14]

Hibs had a back 3, but nothing we did suggested that to me.  Logan was wide whole game, not tucked in.  Also, normally, your right and left centrebacks take the throw-ins when it is a back 3, but that wasn't the case at any time, was Lowe and Logan all game.  Wilson also spent a lot of the game out wide on the opposite side to GMS.  

 

Think he was talking shite.  Hibs played with a back 3 though...

[King Street Loon]

As Foster says, we played with a back 4.

[craegDAMH]

Vokes wasn’t it? Wood started and he was shite.

 

Correct. And Correct.

[boboisared]

Very good performance on Saturday. was 2-1 going on 5. 

 

Penalty aside, GMS was immense. I've given him a bit of a hard time lately so I'm glad I've had to eat my own words. Up and down the line for the full game. Hoban not far behind him as the next standout. Fantastic performance. Glad we also got to see Cerny's time wasting abilities.

Quietly confident for the game on Wednesday.

Yeah, the points that the Hibs fans make regarding Shinnie are valid... and probably the things we'll miss the most.  Maybe we take them for granted.

 

Technically, I don't think Shinnie is particularly good midfielder.  In fact I know he isn't.  However, he is the heart-beat of the team, he's a leader and he drives us forward. He's always biting and scratching and is constantly in the referee's face.  The reality of Scottish football, is that to become a successful team, you need a player who fits this mould.
