Hank Scorpio Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 I do worry about a lot of our fans who seem to think that kicking it out to the touchline is somehow just a bad attempt at kicking it up the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to make it look harder than it was? Do you really believe that? He's playing to the crowd in the midst of an opposition attack and a big centre forward bulleting a header at him? He thinks to himself, this is an easy one but I'll make it look hard? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone does, but the accuracy of the kick is just providing the ball back to the opposition. What I do worry about is the inability of fans to know the passback rule given the amount of them screaming for a free kick when the Morton lad inadvertantly sent the ball back to MacDonald with a mis-kick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait until the highlights and I'll watch it again but from where I was sitting it definitely looked like he was tring to make the save look good but missed the ball. I'll hold my hands up if I'm wrong though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Give the club there due, I phoned for Hibs tickets on my lunch yesterday and they were waiting for me when I got back today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely every chance I’m misremembering but the one I’m thinking of definitely didn’t seem a mis-kick; more a controlled ball, passed back…to the ‘keeper? In the moment, seemed pretty textbook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are thinking of the same one, the boy miskicks it really badly and it dribbles back to McDonald. You’ve maybe just had a bad angle of it, but it wasn’t a passback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Looked like it came off his shin more than anything else, if it was off his boot then it would have posed the question where was he playing it to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 From where I was sitting it looked like he turned the ball back to the keeper, which made me think if he meant it. Didn’t really affect the game though so not a massive issue. Great to have Brown back in the midfield, superb at mopping up the pish when he came on. Byrne too. Those 2 should probably start at Easter Road in front of the defence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way a player in this league is skilful enough to do that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was critical to our advancing in the Cup and now he’s a liability? He has the tools, let’s watch him grow as he learns his trade with us. Whist I agree that Kev is young and has a lot he can learn. The fact his main issue Is he is not commanding his area. The big issue for me us the goalkeeping Coach shall we say it was even worse at commanding his area. We all loved Scott Thomson but he was nicknamed Dracula for a reason. I don't see Robbie as any different. If he can't do it himself how is he going to teach it to others.

pantene proV Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Jammer didn't come for crosses either - it's just not a thing as much in the game these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably play Ross Stanton Smith But its a big call to drop Mullin, Easton or Vaughan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Who would have predicted 8 days ago that Ross should be starting at the expense of potentially Vaughan, Easton Thats the beauty of the squad now in forward positions..don’t play well you don’t play..Murray mentions this in his post match interview that he said as much at halftime. So, so good to see Brown back on the pitch. He broke down their play 4 times by my memory and he just adds such as solid foundation to the team. Praying to see Stanton given a run of games in a forward role, he’s so good. Easton anonymous today but understandable as the way Morton play rendered him trying to win headers. Time for Vaughan to have at least a game from the bench to see how we look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty now is he could rest a match plus and we have other options that seem as good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Remember a couple of weeks ago when loads on here were wanting Ethan Ross punted out on loan to Cove Rangers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz80 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Vaughan sets up the first goal, wins and scores the pen for the second. No bad for someone needing a place on the bench according to some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, not me though. His dip in from previous was down to lingering injury issues. An absolute menace in the wing and he’ll create us goals with a run in the team. Onto Sunday I think we’ll need Byrne, Brown and Stanton to play. Hibs look they’ve got a stronger squad than they’ve had for a while - Boyle, Vente and Newell look standout the other day. Free hit and a day out in the capital, no pressure…that’ll come the following week at EEP where the Pars look extremely difficult to beat with a threadbare squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
