Hibernian v Motherwell 02/08/2026

[AllyMax]

My AI prediction system (which predicted a draw on Thursday night). Has predicted a 2-1 win for Hibs.

Based on its last two predictions, I'm going to call it the MATCH JUDGING COMPUTER.

Or MJC for short.........

System? Sounds more like a guess.

And they want us to use AI assisted VAR.

Game on Paramount over here. St J game on just now 

Fair to say the defences have not been on top in the 2nd half.

Also funny/annoying listening to the commentator trying to pronounce "McDiarmid Park"

I’d have wanted Maswanhise in before Vogts but he can’t be fully fit? I’d even have Lowry before him too but at least we have those two on the bench to change for Vogts.

Happy with that line-up and looking forward to longelo and williams in left side.  Vogt settling in to a new team and league so needs time, has gradually been improving. COYW

I wish we were up against that Kilmarnock defence today.

Or the St Johnstone defence. These games this weekend are really heartening. If St Mirren are the best on show so far i feel confident we might be ok this season.

I doubt vogts is fully fit yet either.

True. This game in particular has the feel of a Friday night Championship game.

Isn't that

Isn't guesswork what our human VAR assistants do anyway.

That’s being generous.

Wee Oscar needs to get his head in the game. Having a mare so far

[weeyin]

Are we playing a false 9 or is Said just too deep?

[Spit_It_Out]

Needing to wake up a bit we have done next to nothing this half and too many Hibs crosses are getting in.

Sparrow needs get a bit stronger getting flung about like a wee boy.

[Spit_It_Out]

Good move that Stonewall pen.

[SteelmaninOZ]

Penalty 

[Spit_It_Out]

Yes Faddy the pen king get in.

[SteelmaninOZ]

1 nil 

[weeyin]

I was going to say Mulligan had been doing a good job shutting down a lot of our moves. 

Then he does that. 

[SteelmaninOZ]

Stand up and sing for Motherwell 

[SteelmaninOZ]

Unlucky there

[grizzlyg]

So far so good.  Badly need a striker but we are well organised 

[SteelmaninOZ]

HT

[weeyin]

Hibs are scared to press us in case we break through them.

We still look like a team with players getting to know each other, but improved as the half wore on.

Moorman's cross field Hollywood pass the highlight for me.
