***Official Hibernian vs Rangers Match Thread***

Andy walker is a bitter fienan rat bastard and cannot hide it, a fucking hypocritical embarrassing mess of a man, how he is employed as a serious pundit is beyond me. 

[STEPPS BOY 73,890]

No matter what happens here we still need two midfielders.

It’s going to cost us in league and every chance also in Europe.

[AdzKyle 7,836]

Doesn’t hide is bias at all. Twat should be fired. 

[Real Ranger 3,193]

Ref is a disgrace, they should be down to 9

[AljayBoy 2,298]

Love how Boyd was continuing to talk and not allowing walker the wanker to interrupt him.

We'll know by full time whether we're in a better place mentally this season.

Good game for Itten to make a difference hopefully

Yes I agree. 👍

[SIRB_72 4,000]

This will sound weird as fuck but I'd chuck Jones on for Kamara. Go a proper 433 and double up on Hibs down the wings and get crosses in for Alfie or place balls across the penalty spot for Hagi and Arfield making those late runs.

It worked for the goal and our other decent chance came from Arfield making a late run because it's a weak spot when teams play like this. Hibs are also packed in the centre of the pitch so lets take the ball away from there instead of making it hard for ourselfs.

My worry with Hibs is that the two up top keep getting in 1 v 1 situations but I think if we go for it we can out score them.

Mon Rangers.

That cunt Walker just can’t help himself. Pre-match he was alright, arsehole must be hurting at that equaliser. 

[Laudrupsleftfoot 10,872]

Boyd should have done more there to call Walker out on his comments.

[Ivybank 4,580]

First 15 mins were good after that nothing happening , Gerrard needs to kick their arses at ht

[southcoastbear 1,639]

Dunno if I'd sub Hagi at half time for Itten or give him a few mins to up his game.

Big man would create more space for Alfie and Kent if nothing else and we probs get more chances from the second ball off Itten.

I'm astounded they still roll him out for our games

[BloodRunsBlue 1,303]

One day soon we will be hanging cunts like Andy Walker from lamp posts. 

[SURRENDERNO 250]

Turned it over can stand listening to that cunt.

About time he did. I’m not going over the top writing him off or any nonsense like that but the clocks ticking. Can’t go into that Old Firm having not scored.

The midfield is awful but that’s the way Gerrard likes it tbh give Gerrard another ten million he’ll buy a winger and another forward and still deploy a midfield and system that gives them little service 

anyway perfect time to score 

Totally agree. How two top midfielders like Gerrard and Macallister have overlooked our midfield for so long is beyond me. We seem pretty sorted at the back, There’s options up front but the Morelos transfer issue needs sorted but for me we have to bring in midfield quality that’s going to consistently create decent chances and chip in with a few goals themselves over the season.

Ideally we get more than one but we need that spark from midfield 

[WizardWalters 476]

Hagi is being bullied but don’t know who can come on and do a job instead. 

Perhaps Morelos from the right and Defoe or Itten on?

Well done Alfie but it should be your second of the game.

Are you Mr Motivator in disguise?

In fairness he’s stated explicitly last week and this week that he’s after a midfielder

Yes and no. I know we’ve been linked with that Zungu most of the summer but he’s not the creative type - he’s upped it due to injuries to Aribo and Jack but the type of midfielder we actually need has never been a priority 

which is a big problem

I'd actually do same but hagi off unless dropping hagi deeper

There’s been a few making the wrong decisions, that’s our problem 

aye,far too many

[Supersonic 4,654]

We dont get a goal fairly sharp next half I can't help think we'll revert to type and shite the bed.

Barisic at fault for the goal, they should be down to ten men with another two walking the line. 

No one wants to say it because its Barisic, but Tav would have another thread about him by now if their goal came from the other side.

Best thing about that shitshow of a first half is the black and orange kit looks smart.   Is it me or do we always play shite when we wear our away colours?
