Slight tangent but they should be reviewing these handballs at live speed only as well. Slowing it down and then pundits claiming he moved his hand towards the so it was deliberate is right up there of the shite of shite from pundits.

Paul Mathers is leaving Saints. Bring Alki Dad home. There's a campaign the Dogger lads can get going!

The offside was a terrible decision initially. VAR in England has that issue still as well. It really bothers me. The referee standing holding his ear for 2-3-4 minutes before eventually going to watch it. I cannot fathom why that needs to happen? Why can't they just prepare for it and let him start watching it 3 mins earlier rather than waiting for the VAR official to have watched it 126 times from every angle for 4 mins... For the ref to watch it eventually from 1 angle for 10 seconds and give it? Cut the dead time of absolutely nothing happening.

Pleased Calum was not having any of the interviewer's suggestion of giving credit to Saints in the first half for basically not being absolutely pumped. Being shit but only being 1 nil down wasn't worthy of credit.

That one?

Hartson just uttered the same paranoia bullshit live on TV.

The question I have is why do we need to go into the game with that kind of mindset and gameplan? Hibs should be respected of course but you don't need to quite treat them like you're playing Rangers, Celtic or Barcelona. Then when we did have the ball we really really struggled and didn't seem to know what the plan was, struggled to execute simple passes etc. There really was some extremely poor individual performances. At 1-0 Saints at times were getting absolutely nowhere near Hibs in possession. It was another game so far where the opposition were showing they wanted it more. There is positives to take as well though of course. We came from behind, took our chances but there's also learnings from the issues but the manager in the majority of his time in charge hasn't been able to learn from those. He seems to double down on the things seemingly going wrong?

I don't know how many times I've tried explaining this to other football fans. Half empty stadiums at £25 make more money than full stadiums at £5-10. It's fairly simple stuff. It would put clubs out of business.

Also, can we address this sold out thing. Were they giving away free tickets or something and those didn't show up? There was a very significant number of empty seats. Behind the goal opposite the Saints fans was especially noticeable. I'm not buying this "Season ticket holders can't always make it" either as were talking quite a significant amount of empty seats. Easily 500+ in that stand alone.

That can't be forgotten. We were lucky to not be behind inside 2 mins. Players look lost in possession and at 1-0 looked miles off it. Red card somehow created a new life in Saints. Learnings though. McLeanan is not a centre forward. That's being polite.

Fucking hell. We won that game Hibs capitulated but you've got to take your chances and show a bit of conviction. I'd like to see a bit more of that 0-0 against 11 men. They showed they're capable and that's the positive we need to take from today!

I'm away to drink myself into oblivion. Hibs fucking hibsed it!!!!

Stop it. It's a Porteous conspiracy.

He could drink 6 pints and still sleepwalk through this with a clean sheet.

McLeanan is not a full time footballer

#DavidsonOut. Regardless of the result. This is utterly pathetic

Another manager who had success with someone else's team. The minute he has control... Look at it.

Davidson

Wtf is this from Saints?

Boyle. Booked for diving. Shocked. Hibs should be winning this game.

Might have been him other than Lennon like I thought. I get it's not easy being a referee and f**k taking abuse from moron managers but meet in the middle somewhere. "I'll speak to you when you've calmed down" etc.

We were just discussing in the thread with the Livi fans how this is the cliche post we get from Hibs fans every time we play time. If we mention Porteous and his pathetic antics tho there's a meltdown.

Yeah I knew JD went but didn't think it was a club related "official" thing. Don't want anyone think I'm slagging anything off or anything as that's not the case. Just was curious why the club were like "friends"

wtf?
