(Ok, I got carried away and ended up playing right through the season last night - so this update will be rather large. Usually it's meant to be monthly updates, but yeah - I got carried away. Im right into this game - so this update will catchh you'se all up - then it's back to the regular monthly updates)
Season Review 2011/2012
September -
Hibernian 0 - 1 Aberdeen
Dunfermline 0 - 2 Hibernian
(League Cup 3rd Round)
Hibernian 1 - 2 Inverness
Hibernian 0 - 1 Dundee United
Hibernian 3 - 2 St Johnstone
Not the greatest of months, exit out of the League Cup at home and also some poor results in the league. But a home win at the end of the month against St Johnstone kept our heads high as we continued to stay in the top six of the Premier League and challenge for those Europa League spots.
October -
Rangers 4 - 0 Hibernian
Hibernian 1 - 0 Motherwell
St Mirren 1 - 1 Hibernian
Celtic 1 - 1 Hibernian
Memorable Game -
A decent month, if you look at who we was playing - maybe the only dissapointment was the draw to st mirren, but it's still better than nothing. A game to remember though, was taking a point from Celtic Park in agame where I personally thought we should of won. Ok, it's just a point but when you play the Old Firm you dont really expect much, especially away from home. So to go there and to go behing, and still leave with a point - I was delighted.
November -
Hibernian 1 - 0 Dunfermline
Hibernian 1 - 1 Kilmarnock
St Johnstone 4 - 4 Hibernian
Memorable Game -
Once again, more draws than wins - starting to be quite frustraing at the amont of games we're failing to win - I mean we aint losing them but still games we should win. The St Johnstone game however was unreal, even with just ten players after having a man sent off, we scored four - just to bad we couldn't stop them from also scoring four. Although, I cant complain as at the end of the month we was still in 5th - which was my aim for the season, break the top six.
December -
Motherwell 2 - 0 Hibernian
Hibernian 1 - 1 Rangers
Aberdeen 2 - 0 Hibernian
Dundee United 0 - 0 Hibernian
Hibernian 5 - 3 Inverness
Memorable Game -
Thank god for the last game of the year, the month was looking gloom without a win - until we absolute smashed Inverness in a goal thriller at home. Originally the draw with Rangers at home would of been the memorable game of the month, although the eight goal thriller topped it. Two great results throughout a difficult month and a great way to end 2011 as we went into the new year 5th in the league table.
January -
Hibernian 1 - 1 Hearts
(Scottish Cup 4th Round)
Queens Park 0 - 3 Hibernian
Dunfermline 1 - 4 Hibernian
Hibernian 1 - 0 St Johnstone
Rangers 2 - 2 Hibernian
Memorable Game -
Great month, unbeaten and moved up to 4th in the league! Gutted we wasn't able to beat Hearts at home after beating them earlier this season at there ground, but a draw's not a bad result I suppose. The memorable game of this month however was the final game of the month, at Ibrox. A last minute goal from Ivan Sporule earned us a point and a thrilling encounter, which meant that both Old Firm had dropped points to us this season and Ranger's has twice.
February -
(Scottish Cup 5th Round)
Hibernian 1 - 0 Motherwell
Hibernian 3 - 0 Aberdeen
Hibernian 0 - 1 Celtic
Kilmarnock 2 - 3 Hibernian
Another great month as we continued our fine form with three wins our of four games what strecthed our point advantage in 4th to over five points from Aberdeen. The only game we dropped points against was Celtic, which is fair enough as we did give up a good performance but we would have to do alot better next month as we had them in the quarter finals at Celtic Park - as for memorable game? None really, but the highlight of this month would be strecthing our advantage in 4th.
March -
(Scottish Cup Quarter Final)
Celtic 0 - 2 Hibernian
Hibernian 1 - 1 St Mirren
Hearts 0 - 0 Hibernian
Hibernian 1 - 0 Dundee United
Inverness 2 - 3 Hibernian
Memorable Game -
What a start to the month! Not hard to guess what the memorable game of this month was?! A famous win at Celtic Park booked us in the semi-finals against Dundee United in the Scottish Cup. Was gutted not to have carried our form from the cup into the league as we once again drew a few more games, including Hearts - at least they havn't beat us this season - but we ended the month in a high as we beat 3rd place Dundee United and Inverness to bring the gap between us and United to just three points for the race for 3rd.
April -
Hibernian 2 - 1 Motherwell
(Scottish Cup Semi-Final)
Hibernian 3 - 0 Dundee United
Dundee United 1 - 1 Hibernian
Hibernian 0 - 3 Celtic
Hearts 0 - 1 Hibernian
Memorable Game -
What a month! We're through to the Scottish Cup final with a remarkable performance over Dundee United, we killed the tie after just twenty minutes! We've got Rangers in the final, it's tough but we aint caring - Scottish Cup final for the green of Edinburgh and to top it all off this month, we beat our Edinburgh Rivals Hearts in the last Edinburgh derby of the season which meant Hearts went the full season without beating us - it couldn't get any sweeter for us Hibs fans. As a memorable game, I wanted to put the semi-final but a derby win over Hearts at Tynecastle is just to good to forget and will be remembered for a long time.
May -
Hibernian 2 - 0 Rangers
Aberdeen 1 - 2 Hibernian
Memorable Game -
What a cracking end to the season, we hammered newly crowned champions Rangers at home, before beating Aberdeen on the last day of the season to take 3rd place from Dundee United. The full of Edinburgh is buzzing as we look foward to the Europa League next season, but before we get to that we've got a Scottish Cup Final first before this season is over and after hammering them at home - we're feeling quietly confindent about this.
