First twenty minutes was squeaky bum time, they were giving us a game, but we changed gear and for that middle hour we were excellent, some smashing performances for a HIbs team who wanted to win and win well. 63% possession, 8 shots on target and all round good fitba from the team. I thought in Gogic, Joe, Boyler and Doidge in particular, HIbs were class, ably supported by AB and Jamesie on the wall, flying the flag and offering a rousing rendition of Its a Grand Old Team after the second goal.
My Pal South West Hibby pointed out Conor Shields from Queens, HIbs are looking at him, he didnae offer much I am afraid, but he has something, he moved well, indeed although QOS started well you have to think how bad the Gunts are to lose to them at home. Good eh?
Chris Doidge scored two and had as a good a game as I can remember, Alex Gocic and Joe Newell controlled the midfield and Boyler was a handful all game. Macey had very little to do, the defence were fine, and we were good to watch going forward, all in a good hIbs win and we are safely through to the next round even further south and west in Stranraer.
The team
Macey, must have been freezing, he had little to do then made a bit of a hole of their goal.
McGinn was poor first 30 but improved after that, he does not look good as part of a three, I keep saying that.
Porto was fine.
Paul strolled it bar one mistake.]
Josh Doig did his job, not getting forward just as much as usual.
I thought Alex Gogic offered lots all game, a key player for HIbs nowadays.
Joe Newell played deep and played well, like Gogic, a key player for HIbs.
Irvine drifted in and out the game. He is doing that a bit too often for me. Good player too.
Doidge was excellent, two good goals and worked his socks off.
Nissy, like Irvine, was in and out the game, was gasping on a goal.
Boyler was a nightmare to play against, he really has found his mojo and with no crowd noise you can hear every (sweary) word he says, he never shuts up.
Subs
Magennis replaced Irvine after 75 minutes, you would not have noticed.
Cadden then replaced Boyler after 78 minutes and like Magennis didnae do much.
Wright (Who I had forgotten about) had a forgetable 10 minutes replacing Doidge.
The Boss
Just on BBC Scotland now, he mentioned the weather, the goal before half time helped and we should have scored more second half. He prepared well, the game went the way he thought it might and getting the goal before half hime helped. He felt Macey's save helped win us the game and he felt it was not a penalty for them, I agree, it wasn't, Dobbie and his belly let gravity do the rest. One down five to go to win the cup, said Jack, no sure that is right?
Queens
No a bad team but full of Huns, fuck thum.
The Ref is a fanny, irrespective of his performance tonight.
The Fans, fair play to the wee band of radges up ladders watching HIbs in minus 5 winds and snow.
BBC Scotland, its no called the BBC for nothing, full of ex Huns and Jambos. Big Marv excluded of course.
My man of the match brought to you by Orkney Hibiscus was a tough one, Gogic....superb, Boyler.....a menace, but for me it had to be Christian Doidge, am no his biggest fan but he was superb!
Next up is the filthy Huns at the Hunnery on Sunday, I hope we piss all over their chips, scumbag bastards.
Still we are through to the next round v Stranraer, who did the puddledrinkers get?
Hibernian Forever!
