C'mon the Hoops.
Weather awful in Fife, but don't see as a leveller as Hibs try and play decent football.
3 Points today would clinch league before split.
Hail, Hail

Can we win the league against hertz on 05/04?? If we win all the games between now and then do we still need them to drop more points?
In true keegan style. I would LOVE it if we did that!!!!
-
Anyone think WGS will keep Naka on the bench becoz of the weather? Hope not as he really lifted us last week against the Sheep.
C'mon the Hoops!
Hibernian 1 Celtic 2

team news anyone??
-
apologies for posting twice
Dont want to nit pick Edward but are you accepting that rangers play the tune to a BIGOTED song over tannoy (ie billy boys) not one that mentions a team name or refers to a team as animals or any playground banter but a song that has the line "up to our knees in f**ian blood surrender or you'll die"
Will you accept rangers play this tune overe the club tannoy and therefore cannot possibly be doing all they can to erdicate bigotry when they actually use it to create atmosphere. I hope you do not take this as a personal slight on you as I normally enjoy and agree with a lot you write but was disappointed that you did not seem to admit bigoted songs on the tannoy and kinda drifted away onto other points.
Just that how can a problem be addressed until the true extent of the problem is accepted. The first step would be to stop playing billy boys on tannoy.
I ask a genuine question here, was billy boys played on the tannoy at home leg v villareal. If not then why? Rangers know its wrong so wont play it when uefa listening but belt it out when scottish teams go? AM i wrong?
Again sorry if this seems personal, just interested in your answers as a level headed ordinary decent guy who happens to support my rivals. ANd again dont think celtic are whiter than white but there are no sectarian songs played over tannoy at celtic park.
-
WGS saying BBJ injured Nake in.
-
The lad in the middle is looking for a season ticket-winter games only.......
:P
noel.
-
does that mean petrov up front again?
worked once, not so sure again, would dublin be a shout?
-
Naka in for BBJ.
Hail Hail
-
Team Confirmed for Today:
Boruc,
Telfer, Balde, McManus, Wilson,
Petrov, Lennon, Keane, Maloney, Zurawski, Nakamura
Lubo.
-
Most likely Magic up fromt with Maloney.
-
I hope that Stan or Naka, play in behind Magic and not as a 4-4-2.
Try and play Hibs at their own game by pulling the defenders out and leaving space in behind.
-
Heading out in a blizzard for a mile walk to pub for game, hope setanta can show it ok.
C'mon the hoops!!!
-
my mate phoned setanta and they told him they cant get their tech. folk out to Edinburgh!
On on my tele right now but its the highlights show from yesterday, not live coverage from the game...
Just back from London and drove all the way from Prestwick to Wishy, no the best!!!
COME ON THE HOOPS
2-1 to Celtic!
-

Noel
I would let him borrow mine when I couldn't make it but I don't think he'd make it up the stairs to the top tier :0)
-
Mornin all,
Lot's of talk about the weather but pitch looks ok. A bit wet down the middle so likely to be difficult for silky fitba'. Wonder how Naka will take to this. Look to Keane, Lennon and Petrov to win this one for us in the middle.

-
Cheers Lubo - back on now! Few snowballs at the satelite dish worked a treat :)
BBJ injured like Paul think it will be tight will take a 1 goal victory.
-
Edward, from the previous thread. No apology necessary, I wouldn't expect you to have the official version on your ipod. :-)
-
Hi Paul,
For once I hope your score prediction comes right :-)
MGM78 :- My apoligies I did go on a bit of a tangent, however I agree the playing of the billy boys over the tannoy is wrong, I utterly condem the song and the meaning behind it, I hope I haven't given the impression I condone it in any way. I agree it should be stopped, it's offensive, and has no place in any society never mind a modern one.
-
Sorry to hear about the weather, I'm settling down to watch it in Denia after a glorious morning cycling in very warm sunshine.
3-2 the Hoops with a Maloney double.
-
celtic 3-0 Stan and Zuraw twice
-
Edward, it would not distress me to have Hibs remain on your tail.
I loved the wee piece Murray done with The Sunday Herald today, when they reported his £48 ten year JJB deal will bring in a guaranteed £5.8m per year.
Does no one read this before it gets published?
-
minx-
do they have satellite in cumbenauld ?
I thought electricity and running water were getting installed NEXT year ?
:P
noel.
-
The bhoys are in fine form right now and I expect us to win handsomely.
Amusing all this talk about the weather on C67. We're expecting a late winter storm here in Minneapolis tomorrow, nothing to be concerned about - only 8 inches of snow forecast.
Denia I feel your pain :)
-
teams coming out
-
My dear friend, Timoot,
I have indeed Enveloped an Indicative Intellection,buried within my recent remarks.
The answer to which, is Germane to a Celtic Target.
Also on at least two other, submissions.
Hibernian 0 Celtic 3.
Serious.
Hail! Hail!
Kojo.
-
Stan looks to be up front again
-
Nakamura close with a free kick.
-
Good FK by Naka - just wide
-
yes,stan is at centre forward
-
5 mins. Opened well. Petrov up front.
Nakamura put a free kick just wide.
-
Anyone have a link where u can watch the game live on the net?
-
Hibs have a goal chopped off.
Let off..
-
6 mins. Hibs goal chopped off for off side. Correct decision but only just.
-
Afternoon Noel!
Aren't we funny today!
Boys having real trouble getting through to Edinburgh today. Some still stuck on M8!
Phew... thought that was a goal!
-
Hibs working hard closing us down quickly. Hibs goal disallowed (correctly)for off-side
-
well done the snow . I dont subscribe to Setanta but it appears I've got it today .
-
hibs goal was level, should have stood
-
Bhoys haven't settled yet - Hibs putting pressure on Telfer. Good chance wasted by Sproule.
-
hibs a lot brighter. should be 2 up.
-
Hibs playing well.
Celtic not in the game yet.
-
Celtic Cross, I've go it too!
-
disagree,with you , pal..Bhoy Malloy!
offside.....blatent....
expect a retraction, when yoy see the replay
-
celtic need to wake up quick here!
-
15 mina. Hibs had the better of the last 10 minutes. Only Celtic attempt at goal was the early free kick, Hibs have had a few.
-
Back off again, Setanta must be watching CQN
-
Bhoys starting to settle now - some good passing ended up with a half chance for Magic
Sproule causing Wilson a few problems down the right
-
poor strength from magic not holding off Caldwell. Meat and drink for BBJ
-
Great stop by Boruc
-
sounds like sproule needs someone to slow him down.....
noel

Hibs have scored. It was coming..
HIBS 1 CELTIC 0

bollocks
-
23 mins. Hibs 1-0 Celtic
Free kick from Riordan, Boruc was standing very close to his right post and the ball went to his right.
-
1-0 Hibs. Good Free-kick - Boruc diod well to get a hand on it but couldn't keep it out. Hopefully that will spur the bhoys into action ....
-
Hibs 1 up, Boruc out of position for free kick. Free kich awarded after Wilson chopped down Sproule. Sproule has skined him a dozen times already.
-
did artur hav hibs first goal or whit? he left that whole side exposed for the goal!
-
We have played 4 or 5 long high balls to Petrov so far - Stan must be wondering what the heck he is supposed to do with that kind of service
-
Hibs by far the superior team.
-
30 mins. Celtic have not constructed an attack yet. Hibs putting us under pressure.
-
Sould have been 2 Nil.
Celtic all over the place.
-
Memories of Artmedia and Clyde here today. We are being run ragged.
-
Our problem lies in midfield. Naka and Shaun are not at the races - probably not the ideal conditions for these two. Wilson and Telfer under constant pressure down the flanks, Keane and Lennon can't get into the game due to the way Hibs have lined up
-
WGS telling Stan to drop back more
-
Penalty to Celtic
-
34 mins. Penalty to Celtic for foul on Moloney.
-
Penalty. Celtic. Maloney brought down
-
Penalty Celtic - great run by Shaun - clear penalty after seeing the replay
-
Celtic have scored…
Maloney Penalty.
HIBS 1 CELTIC 1
Come on the Bhoys.
-
1-1!!
-
clear peno-goal Maloney
-
35 mins Hibs 1-1 Celtic.
Maloney penalty.
-
GOAL - great finish by Shaun. We don't deserve it but I'll take it.
-
I hope this settles us.
-
lets hope they kick on now! great run by maloney, brave decision by the ref as well. wonders will never cease eh?
-
Normal service resumed - nice plkay through the middle - Naka plays Stan in and the shot blocked for a corner - fianlly cleared
-
we've started to get a bit of shape
4-1 I expect
-
Half time:
Hibs 1-1 Celtic
Celtic scarcely deserve to be level, Hibs could have been a couple up, though the goal has got Celtic finding some space.
Nakamura booked just before half time.
-
sounds like the away support are behaving themselves-good bhoys !
noel.
-
Unfortunately my snowball throwing ability hasn't got any better in 40 years - had to hit the sat dish to get the game on! Took a b
loody age.
Don't think Naka got a booking for that tackle.
Some team Hibs - if we win this it will be the second best win of the season after 1/1.
TB
-
Half time. First 30 belonged to Hibs. Boruc gifted Riordan a huge target to hit. Boruc really needs to wise up, to many poor decisions/judgements for my liking.
Great peno from the wee man and we are back playing a bit. Second half should be interesting.
-
HT Hibs 1-1 Celtic
For 35 mins we were competely overrun by Hibs and created not a single chance. After Hibs scored the game changed. Hibs for some reason took their foot off the gas - possibly tired after their earlier efforts on the heavy surface. Celtic took the upper hand at 0-1 and were awarded a penalty after a great run by Maloney. The replay confimed a bad challenge from behind. Great finish by Maloney.
No complaints from me about Boruc for the goal - the shot was well placed in the top corner.
Keane had a good effort saved by the keeper just before HT after a good pull-back from the bye-line by Magic.
I would have expected WGS to make a change at HT given the first 35 mins but he may keep things as they are now that we have got ourselves back in the game.
-
Noel,
Is that snowman in your garden? You stay in Renfrewshire? PA6?
-
Don't think Naka got booked Paul - just a talking to - although a booking was deserved
-
i think we all thought boruc was leaving too much space at the free kick and so it proved.
we didn't start playing till our goal.
far too much space in the middle and sproule was getting too much room down the right.
petrov's now sitting deeper and we've slowly cancelled out the hibs threat.
this could be the game for pearo again. a wee bit pace and dig in the last 20 could win us it.
see how the first 15 goes and then maybe GS should make a change.
Emjay
-
mncelt,
if Boruc had have been a step to his left he would have made the save. He on purpose invited the free kick taker to try and beat him at his left post whick Riordan
done perfectly. Just seen it again at half time. Boruc is too far to his right.
-
Lucky to escape with a draw so far...
First 30 minutes mostly hibs...Sproule unnerving the back four with his relentless running and their 5 across midfield closing down our 4..
Boruc positioning at the free kick was well suspect- he did well to get even a hand to it...
Great piece of running from Maloney who when away to release our first shot on target from open play got up ended. Cool finish for the penalty.
After Stan dropped back into midfield we looked a bit more composed....
Keep up the last 15 minutes performance in the second half and then stick Dublin on for the last 15 and it will come.
Bobo and McManus must keep their heads when sproule is attacking them....
Come on the hoops!!!
-
Sir Paul,
Hibs, "settled", much much, quicker.
Therefore, seemed to be in the ascendancy in the first half hour.
Hibs did score...... but..... although they had all of the play.... really did not do much...... their "goal" was very obviously.....offside.
Otherwise, they wasted any chances that they carved out.
Once Celtic scored.....the Hibs crumbled...... it was eleven Hibs behind the ball....... therefore..... it was all Celtic ...the last 15 minutes.
I believe, Celtic will run riot in the Second Half... They have now "Settled in".
-
Bennybhoy-
it is my garden...but a good bit from PA6.....
noel.
-
that should read a good bit away from PA6
-
Only listening to radio so can anyone say if WGS has put Stan back and pushed Maloney up. If so is this part of the reason for our improvement?
-
Kojo-my old friend-
can I have my green-tinted glasses back once you have finished with them...?
cheers.
noel.
-
Richard
No....He put stan back to shore up...no obvious signs of anyone replacing him...
-
Strangely lacklustre performance. I think Stan Petrov looks more the part at the fron of the midfield five rather than as an out and out striker. Agree with Emjay - Pearson on (for Neil Lennon who looks particularly out of sorts) if we are going to stick with one recognised striker.
-
Calm....deep breath......focus... patience....
All good things come to those who wait. Hibs will burn themselves out before 65-70 mins. Their high energy game is a gamble. One which we have now adjusted too.
C'mon the hoops.
-
rumoid,
Cheers for info.
-
I'm with Kojo
not in the biblical
sit back and enjoy.
4-1
-
My dear friend, Noel,
Yes they are GREEN TINTED,as a matter of fact.... But they are Prescription!
-
Playing with Magic up front on his own - Stan will no doubt be expected to get forward an support him from midfield
-
monteblanco............rankers fans singing 'star of the sea' what a thought, LoL.
and yup id still hate them :-)
maloney having a great match and a great season......
-
Joke Brown winds me up.
"Very clever player Petrov, he invited that foul"
Argh...
