Oh, I'm not overly worried but to drop points from a winning position is very disappointing.  Even if the second Hibs goal should have been ruled out for offside.

Raging at that performance - even given their 2nd goal was offside, their 2 centre-halfs could / should have been sent off and we had a goal chopped off at end (seen them given) we just weren't good enough today.

Plus he had both hands on Helanders' shoulders holding him down. 

Should have been two red cards minimum, also the lunge on Kent from Boil went unpunished, but we didn't play well at all

Ok so we have blinked first , need to get reinforcements for midfield , Gerrard can’t be clearer in sharp he needs .

Said the same before the game. We're too short in the middle of the park and I thought it showed later in the game as we were too open defensively.

Kent & Arfield missed sitters

Serial bottlers in the league post break.

Drawing away, to one of the form teams in the league, isn't bottling it.

 

Hibernian played better than any domestic opponent this season.

 

Where do you copy, and paste, your talking points from?

Right. I've never been entirely convinced about your dubious contributions so keep at the silly stuff and it will be all over for you on this forum.

Still unbeaten in the league and the Scum will lose points sure enough.

 

But games like today have the defeat-feeling about it, as we were clearly better than Hibs but once again (how often has that been said in these last 18 months of season time) we stuck to that 4-2-3-1 and attempt of tikitaka-passing through to the goal-line for far too long. Hibs were there for the taking, played open and pressed somewhat, yet we hardly really hit them with pace or long-range efforts.

 

Offside for their equalizer, Defoe should have had a penalty, a couple of their defenders and McGinn were given the freedom of Edinburgh by the ref and we managed to hit the goalie thrice when it was harder not to score.

 

So disappointing when you know that we can do so much better.

Sorry mate, but if we have to hope for others to do us a favor this early in the season we may as we’ll forget it. The problem for us, has always been the inability to find the winner at the end, whilst they do just fine in that regard. 
If we cannot string more than 3 wins together we will never win the title.
