Hibernian FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread

The ref should come out and apologise I know it won't make a difference but surely he has to say something. A truly horrendous bit of refereeing

So annoying. The game was even enough but that decision was shocking.

Move on I guess

Feel sorry for Hibs after that shocking decision on Sunday. Not a great game but what a winner that should have been from Griffiths. Aside from how bad the decision was what gets me about the whole situation is the aftermath. We have managers getting suspensions and pretty hefty ones for speaking out yet a ref and linesman make a call as bad as that and the silence is deafening. At least have the balls to come out and admit it was a bad mistake and apologise.
The only thing I have seen is former ref Kenny Clarke unbelievably defending Sundays ref and linesman.
Refs have been talking about respect well you know what respect is earned. It seems when refs screw up its immediately on the defensive rather then actually admitting you got it wrong and working on improving. Its hard to show a ref repsect when he won't even hold his hands up when he screws it up. Especially when it is as big a decision and as bad a screw up as Sundays was.

we were not great up until the goal and McPake could have made it two soon after,second half we capitulated total disaster and i think it makes it very hard for us to qualify top six,still believe in what Fenlon is doing though onwards and hopefully upwards in Pat we trust.:D

Interesting article by Tom English recently comparing attendances by team to last year. Its hardly the "armageddon" predicted (scroll down to the end)

However the only the team in the SPL where attendances have actually increased is Hibs - up 9.9% - and to some extent Aberdeen. The biggest drop in attendances, unsurprisingly, is at Celtic

These are the more up to date averages compared to the same point last year:

Celtic: 50,904 45,640
Hearts: 13,381 12,959
Hibernian: 9,909 10,809
Aberdeen: 9,297 9,727
Dundee Utd: 7,482 7,602
Motherwell: 5,946 5,077
Kilmarnock: 5,537 4,831
St Mirren: 4,493 4,315
Inverness: 4,023 4,088
St Johnstone:4,170 3,739

1 game away from another final.

Hopefully we can deliver the goods.

We should of won the 05 and 07 semi finals so we have a habit of falling at this hurdle so hopefully we get another chance to find the Holy Grail.

KO is at 12.30 tomorrow.

Wonderful goal - c'mon Hibs you can do it:)

What a goal, some game!
