Livingston are a well drilled team. Ok their staff fuck up they are sleeping with the fishes, or at least doon the bottom of the Almond with a Tony Macaroni Double Whammy Eat Til You Are Sick Calzone tied to your ankle. They play like the dirty Hun bastards did against us and how we beat Celtc but the do struggle on grass (their owners skill being the sale of said, not playing on it, allegedly).
As one of the many, many Hibernian fans who live in Circle City, I hate Livi. Pishy wee club, the jizz of a Motherwell fan who wanted a team in Livingston, what ever it took. It took Meadowbank Thistle. I have not forgiven their cheating to win the League Cup back in the old days and the abhorence at meeting a Hibs fan after that game who had changed teams and supported them, for fucks sake.
So team wise, well its a tough one, we should not discount the drug dealers, sorry fighters of the New Town (not rugby fannies in red breeks but nasally challenged wee fuds in Slazenger Trackies). I would set up as follows:
Bogdan, he is very decent.
Sir David Gray, Hibs are better when he plays. He captained Hibernian, on the day we won the Scottish Cup in 2016, scoring the winning goals in the 92nd minute to send the massed ranks of the Hibernian support into raptures that have still not quite gone away. Sigh.
Efe, he is a joy.
Ryan, the future Captain of Hibernian and Scotland. He halfs Huns and only gets booked. He does so and smiles, just like us. Why? Well he is living our dream.
Lewis, magnificient.
Milligan in for Mallan who is supposedly hurt, lets hope he manages the pace of the game.
Slivka deserves his run. He didnae look 100% fit Wednesday against the abortions of satan but he has skill and abaility. Just show it son.
Hyndman is a player, I like him, plays the Hibernian way for me. Just needs some time in the gym, protien shakes and some Mallan classes on shooting. When I go to teh match, I want to watch players like Emerson Hyndman.
Daryll Horgan too deserves his place. A winger who has done reasonably well at the top of the diamond. Needs to improve his decision making and his stamina. Again a right good Hibs player though.
Ollie Shaw is slight and looks a bit like a wee laddie sometimes. He is. But he is a goal scorer and like his pal Ryan, he loves our club, that counts a lot for me. Stick in son. If protien and gym stuf fdisnae work, try boiled chicken and Guinness and work your hole off in the gym. Ask Paul Hanlon what he done to grow a pair.
Florian Kamberi for me is Alan Gordon and Tony Higgins in a fucked up megamix. I love to see him play, he never gives him. When he cupped his ears after scoring that fucking peach v GlasgowThellickFootballClub I wept inside, he has fuck all to prove to the moaners, he is a player, a big strong Hibs player who would run through a wall for us. Back off the laddie, he is 22 and real good player.
Tactically, well that is up to Neil. But stick to something similar to the last two and a half games, that is what we pay for.
Hibernian Forever.
