Brazil Blues
Cowdenbeath 2 - Hibernian 0Oh DearIt gets worse not only did Hibs fail to score tonight we were totally outplayed.Cowdenbeath should have been at least 3 up by half time,instead of the one goal from a penalty, and thats being kind.In the second half they also created all the chances and Marek Tomana converted a great goal from a strike from the edge of the box,following great build up and cut back.Minutes before that cowden a managed to miss from 2 yards.Mixu feeling the pressure was sent to the stand for giving the referee and his assistant a hard time.I am glad I have not bought a hibees season ticket yet,I think Ill keep the money and spend it on hankies and earplugs.Fabian Yantorno made an appearance but he looks a long way short of his skillful self due to being out for so long.The Cowdenbeath striker Paul Mcquade (pictued right) showed simailar skills and touch as Motherwells Ross Macormack but we won't sign him as Mixu won't have noticed him.

Barc Holes
Six Nil to Barca I am relieved as I predicted a cricket score!!Like I said in my previous posts we no longer have the squad and we are now shopping in the Smart price aisles. We have come a long way since the days of debt but we have sold all of our top shelf items. We are now rummaging about the clearance shelves and this is so hard to take. fergie built a team on youth at Old Trafford but his board were brave enough to back him,in the wage market, when he wanted to keep players like Keane in order to kick on and win things.petrie has had a good formula to get rid of debt, but didnt know when to adopt a new one when the old one no longer applied.We are now going back to the Jim Duffy era where we were signing whoever we could get on the cheap.

Raith Rovers Friendly
Kevin Mccann made one pass to a team mate all night, and seconds later the referee blew for full time. The midfield we had out was like the pigmy national squad, canning,stevenson,joe keenan,ross campbell.At one stage there was a gust of wind and they all fell over.Spain showed you can have a small midfield and be successful but their players have skill.Keenan showed some skill early on before running out of steam and campbell didnt get the time on the ball to show his.By the end of the match I was beginning to wish Raith would score a couple to make Mixu realise how bad hibs were.The best players all night were Andrew Cook at left back for Raith and his team mate Lee Bryce who came on later in the second half.Mixu its a long time since we've had so many poor players. Mccann needs to get tested for colour blindness as I could swear he thought the Raith players were team mates. He is not a scottish premier league player despite his great attitude. What price is Mixu to make it until christmas?The only thing Mixu should take from the game should be Lee Bryce and Andrew Cooks signatures.

Will we sign anyone?
Why did Motherwell get kennedy on loan, he would have been a great partner for Rob Jones.Come on Mixu get the finger out as you are running out of time!!

Hibs out already
Not looking good as we lost the second leg 2-0 also agg 0-4Hibs are starting to play players like O'brien who don't have the composure we have become accustomed to. While O'Brien,Stevenson and Murray cannot be found wanting in effort it is a step backwards playing players that effort is their main attribute.We have become accustomed to a skillful as well as hardworking players. If Mixu does not realise this is the way forward then we will return to the pre Mowbray era

Hibernian Season 2008 to 2009
The season got off to a bad start with loss o-2 to swedish outfit Elfsborg. Hibs missed the leadership of Guillame Beuzelin and this is something that has been underestimated by many Hibernian fans and media alike. Looking back at many of the recorded highlights I have on Sky plus there are numerous occassions when beuzy robbed the opposion of the ball or broke up attacks,this will be missed more than hisinventive creative play.The press undoubtedly will not realise this and blame lack of match practice etc etc etc.We all wish some of them had played football so that when they feed the fans who are unable to see what is going on during the game are not mislead.I hope we get Yantorno signed and back playing as he is a very exciting talent.We still need to improve at centre back position as we are a bit porous to say the least.Not much happening on the transfer market for us at Easter Road and best that we can aim for is top 6, pity for all of Hibees that have coughed up for the season ticket.Some want to swap it for one for Coventry apparently they are going to have a great season, with a new midfielder going to change the level they play at.
