Match Thread Hibernian v Rangers - 12:00 Sunday - Sky Sports

[1982ger]

Ref screwed us again. Had numerous chances to call them out

 

[A Magician Named Gob]

Oh good another week of panty wetting from the people who sing No Surrender without irony.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

It is what it is.

 

[Ubik]

no surprise we get screwed over again, why did he blow at the end just as morelos gets it?

 

[Kingdom Bear]

We needed to sign leaders ... we didn’t ... same outcome with the same players

 

[Hank_Marvin]

This is why you call out the refs when you are winning, if you do it when you drop points, it comes off as sour grapes.

 

[lcpl_1st_bt_1872]

same old same old. first real test and this team fails. gerrard just doesnt get it and this is yet another fail for him

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Goldson sells the shirt in the first test of the season.

Deja Vu.

 

[Business_Bear]

All well and good the circle jerk on getting clean sheets and winning against the diddy teams, but again when we play one of the better sides in the league we fall at the first hurdle.

Agree, dropping points from a winning position is criminal.

 

[RangersLad1983]

Notices an offence this time but not the offside.

Morelos gets booked for gettin barged in the back.

 

[Rab_bear]

That was disappointing but some of the comments on this thread are embarrassing

 

[Batigol]

Sadly just so predictable. This team have shown us repeatedly that when they are under any sort of pressure to win they can't do it. Going 2-1 up in the second half with so much possession and we have no ability to control a game and see it out. We'll no doubt bounce back next week, but there's still too many in this team that we can't trust

 

[bluenosebazza]

Poor defensively today. Mistakes cost us and not taking chances

And an offside equaliser.

 

[MSF]

Same team as last year, yet people expected something different.

Sterling job from all concerned during this transfer window, hats off.

 

[Cheech]

Dont see how you can blame Gerrard. We had countless chances to put the game to bed and the goals let in poor.

Terrible finishing and defence looked to be casual at 2-1

 

[Stevethebluenose90]

eh? The boy was on the park 5 mins and you still find time to criticise him.

Because he’s Garbage. It’s there for everyone to see .

 

[sandbankbear]

We got back in front and panicked. Its nothing new though. Same old mistakes from same players.

 

[Jase]

Lacklustre.

That didn't look anything like a title winning side.

To say we hadn't previously conceded a goal, poor defending cost us 2 points today.

 

[Muay Bouk]

Self inflicted.

If we took our chances it wouldn’t have mattered about the defensive errors.

Missing big Joe badly

Kent buries his chanc3 it’s 3-1, Arfield buries his we win as well.

 

[club175]

Im afraid it shows why we will struggle to win the league this season. Celtic are ruthless when they get in front while we are tepid .

 

[BigTinder86]

See in the cold light of day. Can anyone tell me the two centre mids controlled that game for us? Honestly, we never look safe and compact, could see the hibs equaliser coming all day long.

 

[Jjbscotty]

I just don’t think we’ll win anything with Goldson in that defence he will cost us again at some point.

 

[jexx]

Having to beat the ref and the opposition is to much for us. Disgraceful refereeing today.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Poor. Piss fucking poor.

whwn the pressure is on and when it’s time for the leaders to commit to the cause, and when we need the big players to come to the fore, we blow it. And that’s quite simply a psychological edge to the beadrattlers. Not good enough.

 

[Quijibo]

How much of that 3 mins actually got played

2 mins 57 secs

 

[Leif Erikson]

Ref only blew the whistle when it was obvious Morelos was scoring. An offside goal allowed against us. Possibly numerous red card offences ignored.

Say what you want about our misses but we've been fucking cheated by the ref again.

 

[speedy]

Poor defending and equally as poor finishing on one or two occasions cost us dearly today

 

[The Canny Man]

Substituting Hagi was a mistake

 

[TheEgg]

Going by this thread......... I’ll see you all on Thursday, this place is gonna be torture

 

[Colinrfc2]

Exactly the same game we have seen since Gerrard arrived

 

[Gaz030191]

How they finished with 11 men is beyond me.

The ref couldn't wait to blow for full time, to the extent he never even played the 3 minutes.

And throw in the obligatory booking for Alfie for being annoyed by the lack of officiating when he's blocked.

 

[spaceman2]

We desperately need some new blood in the centre of the park. We can't go a full season with the current options, particularly when Jack is out with niggling injuries quite frequently.

 

[LenzieLoyal]

2 points thrown away against a piss poor Hibs side.

There can be no excuses!

 

[Rudiger]

Hagi had been the best player on the park for the 20 minutes right before he got taken off! Absolute madness!

 

[Cooperfan]

Gerrard just isn't getting it.

However, you can't take away from the refereeing performance yet again

He'll never get it. Another example, in yet another season, where I will state (yet) again we will not be allowed to win the league. It's every game, that will cost points.We almost deserve it 'cause the club do nothing. Last week the perfect example.

 

[Sutton_Blows_goats]

Yet another honest mistake ( offside call not given) has cost us

Was a push on helander for the goal too imo

 

[warfieldranger]

They set up well to put us off our game, but the bottom line is that another refereeing mistake costs us points. Boyle was clearly offside in the lad-up to their goal.

 

[Vince]

He didn’t even play the three minutes despite the free kick he had literally just given?

He didn’t like the way the ball was heading.... done the same in the first half.

 

[TJ Newton 76]

First big test and half the team don’t turn up.
Until we buy a leader we’ll face more of the same.

 

[Rickymck]

So last seasons team still isn't good enough. Will our new signings be enough to change it? Time will tell.

 

[StepoverKing]

We can moan about refs all we like. To this team (same as last year I might add) pressure = bottle crash.

 

[Smkz23]

Yet another honest mistake ( offside call not given) has cost us

missing chances has cost us

 

[Raymondgers]

Corrupted officials. Sams boring team with no urgency what so ever. Off to get some beers, don't give a shite if I'm on anti biotics.

 

[Muay Bouk]

Self inflicted.

If we took our chances it wouldn’t have mattered about the defensive errors.

Missing big Joe badly

Kent buries his chanc3 it’s 3-1, Arfield buries his we win as well.

Because he’s Garbage. It’s there for everyone to see .

please expand, in that 5 mins of football he’s garbage, gies piece.

 

[TukTuk to Bangla]

How much of that 3 mins actually got played

Just said this. If that was the poets it wouldve been 6 mins on the board and played at least 7.

 

[Camy]

Hugely disappointing. Toughest test of the season so far and came up short.
Referee didn't help but cant lay all the blame with him.

 

[OnlyRaskin]

I’m sick of all this plenty games still to go, if we are so desperate to win the title any slip up is a major concern when you take past seasons performances into account. That was the side of last year that turned up today. Whenever we need to take advantage we can’t go and seize it. Did it last season when Celtic dropped points to Livi

 

[Texas ranger]

He didn’t even play the three minutes despite the free kick he had literally just given?

They are under extra pressure this season.

 

[bluereason]

That was coming. Missing glaring headers was the fine line. We really miss Aribo too.

 

[Pepperami]

Simply not good enough, more than enough chances and sold ourselves with a defensive mistake.
