Hibs v Legia reaction

Reaction to Hibs v Legia at Easter Road

Transcript

00:00There are undoubtedly nights that could put you right off football and for a long time you would

00:08probably find a fair few Hibs fans here ready to just give it up as a bad lot. You know they created

00:15so many chances early on then they get hit with a V.E.R. it's not even V.E.R. is it? It's the modern

00:21handball rule that leaves people infuriated although taking five minutes to get a clear

00:27and obvious decision rather undermines the whole concept. Suffice to say listen it was incredibly

00:36frustrating for long long spells and it hit both as if they just hit that brick wall like the glass

00:42ceiling even that stands between a lot of Scottish clubs and trying to get into the group stages or

00:48the league phase as it is of European football. It's been a pretty bleak week for Scottish football

00:55in European phase but then football does what it does it gives you that hope doesn't it?

01:02It finds a way to drag you back in. A late goal. No more than Hibs deserved for what they created on

01:09the night. So many chances you think but a late goal and it just gives them that hope going to

01:16to Warsaw next week that maybe just maybe. Ligia were very good listening when when they were given

01:24chances at particularly the second goal they pulled Hibs apart. It's a mistake to lose the ball but then

01:29they pulled Hibs apart. They had a third goal disallowed for an offside so V.E.R. did Hibs a favour there.

01:37They were very very good on the ball. They looked like a team who thought they were sitting on 2-0 and

01:41nobody would blame them for that. They just weren't ready for the the ferocity of the the Hibs fight back and

01:48the the way they threw things in and once again we're looking at the grit and the character and

01:54the hunger of a Hibs team and you know given the historical star tissue there's been over Hibs

02:03and their character grit or lack thereof over years what a what a fascinating and welcome thing that will

02:09be for supporters to know that they've got a team who are going to give their absolutely everything who

02:13aren't going to crumble that aren't going to falter and fall apart under pressure. They've given

02:19themselves a chance it's going to be hard brutally brutally hard but from where they were I think

02:24most Hibs will hands would would take it and maybe even say that aye football isn't bad after all.
