Pathetic attacks on the team and manager on here. Tactics may or may not have been correct. We were on top before the first goal for quite a period and if Tom Walshs strike had gone in it would have been a very different game. To sit deep against ( Scottish International) passers like Scott Allen giving them time on the ball like he got in the second half after the sending off would have been catastrophic imho. Our forwards troubled the hibs defence , we scored 2 goals and could have scored 4 but for some superb goalkeeping from marciano. Our defence played to their level with some great last minute tackles from brad mackay Rooney ,and tremarco. Mchattie gave away a silly penalty and showed some inexperience but thats who we are. A team of developing players getting better under robbie rather than worse under Foran. Midfield were outclassed by a great hibs side coached by jack ross who made the most of their forwards amazing movement. Ridgers was a rock. Hibs are the form side in the premier league since Jack Ross took over moving from one point of the bottom to sixth place and too hear the same tired refrain of its all Robbos fault is disappointing to say the least. I think yesterdays game and the match against other premier league teams this season shows that even after losing Mcart and Coll we can challenge the premier league teams in the playoffs especially if we have our best team on the pitch. We missed Sean Welsh yesterday but I see hope not despair that promotion is possible. So support the team rather than attack the people working to that success.

Ridiculous that people call for Robbo's head. Can you imagine the budget of Hibs compared to ours, especially these days. Who exactly would you replace him with? People forget we've got to a cup final, quarter final, and are well in contention to be promoted to the premier league. Totally clueless.

I really can't believe all the clowns who are shiteing on the team over this result. It was stupidly unlikely for us to actually win this game. I think we played out of our skin, the Livi game was just a fluke, and this was a real test, Hibs are doing well in the league. Show some support for the team. Jeezus.

As was alluded to by the pundits on the tv coverage hibs are high on confidence since back Ross has taken over. They have turned a corner and are pushing to finish 3rd in the league. 5-2 was not an accurate score line. We had a penalty claim denied which hibs were given. Walsh was unlucky bot to score it was a good save from the hibs keeper. We managed to score when down to 10 men. Everyone stayed committed to the final whistle. We played attacking football, we didn't sit in. Ridgers made some amazing saves. Can't criticise the team for effort in that game. Hibs scored two goals after we went down to ten men which skewed the scoreline. Some folk still think we have the resources and budget of a premier league team. Well done the team for last night back onto league business. Tale the positives and Play like that in the championship we will win the majority of our games.

Exactly - there are plenty of other managers around who are quite capable of getting us out this league, but it would be at the wrong end of the table by relegation not promotion. Frustrations are understandable but expectations have to be realistic.

I know life doesn't work this way but if, at the end of the season, we had been pumped by Hibs, lost the Challenge Cup final but somehow got promoted I would take that. Great to see a vocal support at a game again. Wish they were there every week. Maybe the club could try and find out what is stopping these guys from going on a more regular basis. We need all the support we can get especially as our home grounds continue to dwindle.

I’m as disappointed as everyone else at the score and being out of the cup but we matched them for long spells and a couple of key moments went against us, the save from Walsh just before the first goal and the penalty being refused just before the second goal. Whatever you think, Hibs were not “rank rotten”, they played some high quality football and at times so did we. The scoreline flattered them and most comments on here are supportive of the team. Enjoy Norway. Hope you’ve plenty cash for the beer prices!

For what it's worth, I thoroughly enjoyed last night's game, apart from the result obviously, and it turned on key decisions by the referee. Thought he got the Ridgers call right but that was about all he did get right. Felt the bookings were harsh for effectively their first fouls and he couldn't wait to book the players. Would he have done that in an Old Firm match?. Definitely teams are being refereed to different standards outside the Old Firm. Giving Hibs a penalty was correct but then to deny us one for something very similar was poor. Nick Walsh is a poor and arrogant referee, witness his dismissive attitude towards Robbo at full time. I get what people say about the tactics but it made for a more open game and had we got the penalty or Walsh scored, the tactics we used may have proved correct and it did catch Hibs out for spells. Proud of how the team performed and maybe we will get a refereeing decision to go for us one of these days.

Two very good hibs goals after the sending off skewed the scoreline. The team were subject to a poor decision 're penalty claim - hibs scoring immediately and this changed the game. Hibs are on a good run of form and quite clearly have talent up front. Good effort by the team. Let's now get behind them for the rest of the season. Well done to away support going right to the end 👏🏻👏🏻

12 league games to go, 24 gone. 6 very good teams competing for three play off places. We can get a good slot if we believe in our players - last night was the best team we have played this season. Supporting the team on Tuesday night is just the beginning of moving forward. Morton scored four today....

Proud. Thats all

5-2 utterly flattered Hibs who were quick and direct but that was it. The Walsh shot, the penalty shout, lots of might-have-beens. But they're a league above us, we've nae money, we've had a decent run, now for promotion. But if we do get promotion, many of this team not good enough. Last dig at Hibs. My pie was like burnt leather.

The league needs to come first now. We are in a 6 team battle for second so need to focus. Regarding the cup, we have been one of only two teams to beat a Premiership club and the only team outside the top flight to make the last eight. It would have been great to make the semis but it was not to be. The Challenge Cup should be seen as a bonus and I hope we win it but Raith are going well. Regardless of our views of last night’s performance, we need to get behind the guys on Tuesday. Morton are unbeaten in the league in 2020 so we can’t underestimate them.

Doesn't want Robbo because of his big game record but suggests Peter Houston?

We are in a false position. Previously when we have been 2nd in the 1st Division/Championship we would have a team capable of matching most premiership bottom 6 sides. The standard of our current league is pretty abysmal. That fact we are second after some of the performances and play this season is shocking. In reality. We have lost 2 very competent centre backs who helped us to this position. Mccart is already getting rave reviews in Perth. Coll has settled in well. Playing mchattie who we took as a covering squad player from Raith rovers and Brad McKay whose limitations are clearly obvious to any football observer. It's no surprise we conceded so easily against a creative team with boyle and allan. Welsh is our best midfielder by a distance but is constantly injured. Our top scorer has barely any goals. Currently this is a limited team and don't let the league table fool you. Yes, we beat livi who are flying high but the wind was a major leveller with neither side creating anything. Robbo is doing very well to get us to second in the league and it seems by doing this and raising expectations it is causing him to come under attack from some.

Yes, but we also need good players as well. Having watched the last three televised games, I am now of course an expert And we simply don't have the quality in the team that we used to have. Ridgers is indispensable, so we must hope that no one makes a good offer for him in the summer. Tremarco gets 10/10 for effort. Shaun Rooney caught my eye in these games - get a little more guile into his game and he he could go far. Trafford is a liability, and both he and Carson need to learn about anger management. Our forwards lack skills and penetrative power. Having said all that, until the ref gifted Hibs the chance for their second last night, I thought it could have gone either way. One thing that did surprise me was that I expected Hibs to have a good, well-drilled defence. Yet the number of times that we got through - especially given what I think of our penetrative power - shows that they didn't. That second goal was a game-changer - easy for Hibs then, and impossible for us. Credit to the team for keeping on going, and getting the ball in the net twice. So don't get me wrong. I'd love them to go up. Provided we didn't go on a stupid spending spree or give the existing players unaffordable rises, the worst that could happen is that we would come straight back down with a parachute payment. We might scrape enough points to stay up - we beat Livi, did OK against Hibs for a while, and narrowly lost out to Dundee Utd. But we need a striker or two. Need to shore up the defence. And, most importantly, we need someone who can impose their personality on the game - someone who can really influence things.

Game was done when a stonewall penalty was ignored, and Hibs went down the pitch and scored. TV replays show that it was a penalty. Pundits agreed, and said that if VAR was available then the penalty would have been given. The whole game turned on that. Sickening.

Score line doesn't reflect the way we played, proud of the team. Give Tremarco a new contract he was immense tonight, never gave up.

When was the last time we played a team with such deadly attacking prowess? You don’t face this type of pace and finishing in our league, or indeed in much of the Premier.

Not sure if mentioned already or if this is the right place, but just found this podcast yesterday and it's well worth a listen. Good work Iain Auld.

Billy Reid is assistant to Graham Potter at Brighton, if you think he's leaving there to come here.....words fail me!

He was left with what was a very poor post-Foran team, and he's improved us and brought in some decent players at this level. Agreed he's make tactical errors and we've struggled against bigger/better opposition, but if we chuck him the greater likelihood is that we'd go downwards. He's well respected considering his career as a player, and for that reason we've attracted players that others couldn't, especially managers like Billy Ried (where has he even been for the last decade, this was a very random choice).

I met a Hibee in the Iona last night who took £100 spending money on their Europa League trip to Molde. He had to borrow cash to get a round in before they were out of the airport. I'm inclined to agree with those who complain about Robbo's tactics in big games. We were far too open last night just as we have been against United all season. All the same, he's done a great job of managing our decline, and the atmosphere last night was testament to that. We're still here, will still in Cup QF's, we're still challenging for promotion. Things could be so much worse.

I agree with Caleyd shocker. Its not about the money. Are the players better than when we bought them. Yes Is the team better than sum of parts. Yed Could we on our best day with our best team win the playoffs. Yes. Do we have messi ronaldo and pele up front so that Alan can complain Storey would be better? No We are what we are. Dissappointed to lose to atavs. Happy to have had a good game against hibs.

I give up 🤦‍♂️

I would have to say that the Happy Clapper mode has totally outshone the negates but also the realistic. I think that I must have been watching a different game on telly. "Could have beens" are a plenty. What if Hibs were awarded the early penalty claim and Ridgers was dismissed (a mere example of many for both sides). We definitely remained committed to the final whistle and never gave up. The only people to play "attacking football" were Walsh, Rooney and Tremarco. We simply got it horribly wrong tactically. 4-3-3 from the off was disastrous, especially given the players chosen. With Keatings in "no mans land" it was almost a 4-2-4. Trafford and Carson were give too much to cover and that led to their cards. Mckay is NOT a central defender and he and McHattie have not gelled. When you play 3 up front you need pace, width and a hit on the break mentality. In that formation the two pacier wide men can afford to play deeper. Storey and Walsh would have been that combination. I would have played Keatings up front instead of White and added in a third covering midfielder, probably in McGregor. But there again this is all the haverings of an armchair would-be manager. It would be interesting to hear the views of peeps who were actually there. The pundits were being paid to make it sound fantastic ??

I remembered 20 years ago when we were in the 1st division and we'd be drawn against premier league teams in the scottish cup and we believed every time that we would beat them. And very often we did........celtic away and at home (against Larsson et al, but we had Wyness!), hearts away. . . 5 years ago we won this competition. Tonight we're satisfied that we got humped 5-2 (against a team that we have beaten more times than they've beaten us) because we put in a decent performance! Wtf? Just goes to show how far the club and our expectations have fallen. Sad to say I wouldn't have belief in this team to win against Fort William FC these days.

Mate we just got tanked by an average Hibs team. FFS if it wasn't for Mark Ridgers it would have been double figures .

Well I for one am hugely disappointed with that performance. Going 4-3-3 from the off was energy sapping and with no pace up front. That was a real chance to rest White and Doran and fire in Storey and Todorov. The ridiculous early bookings also killed it. I am really not sure what the game plan was. Trafford and Carson also have to learn how not to be "gung-ho". We did deserve the scoreline. Hibs were not that great but we shot ourselves in the foot. The positive was that we gave 100% + until the end.

Yet another humiliation under Robbo absolute joke scoreline every game with a bit of pressure we get shown up ! Persists with the same forward who couldn't score in a brothel thank fcuk I'm working away and didn't have to suffer that I'd have put the TV right out the window

It's only hibs. Not really 'deadly attacking prowess' more like taking advantage of a ropey highland back line.

At least we've given the footballing neutrals a couple of cracking Friday nights entertainment - love the way they keep their heads up and keep battling on!

We have managed to score 2 against a team high on confidence on form in the premier league and one of those with 10 men. Boys have done good again.

Scoreline doesn't reflect the game

Ref far to card happy.

Sounds as if we have acquitted ourselves well but sadly no shock. Let's now concentrate on getting second in the league and have a real go at getting up via the play offs. Other than D Utd, no one to fear in the championship and over 2 legs against 11th in the premiership we'll be in with a fighting chance.

Ref seems to be trying his best to make sure we are.

I don't think wer well known in Norway my man so obviously not if your pleased with a 5-2 tanking against a rank rotten hibs then wow your expectations are low !

Absolutely ,whenever we have to make the step up in class Roberston is found wanting . Big thumbs down also to the fuckwits who broke the seats Not cool at all.

Who else would take it put it out there and see personally I'd like Billy Reid and if we don't get promoted yet again what then just stick with a man who'd be on his 4 attempt don't be ridiculous man change is needed robbo every time wev stepped up big game has been found wanting every manager has a shelf life robbos reaching the end of his was a crazy appointment to begin with

That was a top 6 Spl team Foran had just poorly coached and managed lost the dressing room! Sorry pal I'm not seeing improvements at all if we keep him I can see us going downwards but who nos maybe he'll shock me and get us up this season! Dunno think most of the players he's got had limited choices tbh most young guns wouldn't no who he is unless there jambos ! Billy Reid I posted on here at the time yogi got bagged should go for him great on a shoestring budget excellent record at developing youth players just what we needed at the time think he's an assistant manager at some Norwegian team bud or he was last I heard of him

That where he is now na no chance he'll be coming then Peter Houston ? Sure the board will be putting out feelers anyway just in case

Time for Robbo to exit quietly mans had his chance how long to wee give him he's a dead rubber never gonna get us out of this league give someone else a pop Robbo leave and take half your dodgy signings with u to whatever club would be desperado enough to employ u
