HertsAgain Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 1 hour ago, Kilgour said: Quite annoyed and surprised to hear ex-Hibby Michael Stewart saying on Sportscene that Hibs were "a considerable distance ahead of Saints" in that match.Mind you after applauding a couple of Laidlaw saves and Ambroses block on the line ..Saints were only credited with one shot on target Don't think anyone could disagree with his comment. Saints battled well for the point, but Hibs looked far sharper. Their distribution, passing, movement and ball retention was much better than ours. Sure, Laidlaw had a couple of saves, including a great one from Kennedy, but a combination of Zander and plain bad finishing prevented them from being well ahead by half time.

akuram Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Thought Sportscene were a bit dismissive of all the good work and passing by saints and although Hibs may have been a bit better than us we more than deserved at least a point.

Both teams also had white shorts. Hibs green is very dark. Thanks - saved me a trip to Specsavers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Hibs, the media darlings, never a bad word said about them. And dont get me started on their scroat of a manager, that the media love also. Hibs created hee haw second half, very fortunate equaliser. Hibs fans very quiet as had nothing to cheer about. They think they are brilliant but fact is they are only as good as we were for 4 years running getting into Europe. Gotta love the arogance of Hibs, who cannae beat us. Ha!

Some real blue tinted specs here. Saints were very good but Hibs are a very decent team. We shouldn't downplay how good a point that was by trying to rubbish them. As for the 'very fortunate equaliser", I thought it was a great ball in and virtually undefendable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs will be pushing for runner up spot- that was a very good point and a good performance and it's time we started looking at the positives about our team instead of continually grinding them down and questioning the manager and Steve Browns commitment to the cause.

Runner up to who though. On the strength of their last 2 performances Celtic are not a stick on for the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with first sentence. If we went into QoS game after 2 defeats & poor performances we would have been under severe pressure. Although I agree their goal wasnt fortunate it should have been avoided. Ando had been dragged well out of position ,Tanser was in no mans land ,earlier in the game Kennedy would have tracked Boyle but he was knackered, Kerr should have defended it better. A speculative ball from that far out should never have resulted in a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see on the tv there is a wee hesitation to close down, his head kinda drops as he is tired and then realised no i need to close him down, but that wee second is enough and the cross comes in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A speculative ball from that far out should never have resulted in a goal. It was 5 minutes into the second half, Kennedy wasn’t tired at all, he just didn’t close down quick enough. Tanser wasn’t in no-mans land, he was covering the overlapping run of Ambrose. Yes the ball should have been stopped before it came in by Kennedy and it should have been defended better by Kerr, but Tansers not culpable in any way and I’d argue Anderson isn’t either since he’s tracked their striker like he’s been told to. If anything Craig should have slotted back slightly once he spotted Anderson was out of position, or even Kerr across, Foster into the middle. andy rhodes fancy watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhq Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 We could just accept it was a good goal. If you look at any goal ever scored they could all be prevented - football would be a very boring game though. I'm happier just accepting that Hibs scored a good goal than I would be if we had conceded our goal - that was a very sloppy goal for a defence to lose.

Who or what makes the definitive decision as to the scorer of this goal? The SPFL results site credits the goal to big Tone which would give him 5 for the season after the QOS game but some media sources are saying 4 goals. I know its a pedantic point but I would like to see us with a 20+ goal scorer this season so they all need to count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 The relevant footy body decides. In effect, that means the ref, and the delay is because they have to wait for the ref to one-finger type his match report and send it in. I gather it’s taken a bit more seriously these, partly days because of betting, but mainly because of the We Are Perth Prediction League. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hootsmon has Tony joint top SPL scorer on 5 goals so I can rest easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
