Well we deservedly won through v Raith but really made a bit of a 'dog's dinner' of this exercise all the same. The main reason for that is our strikers are not scoring goals again!! However, our defence is continually improving and another 'clean sheet' is good for confidence. Falkirk will be a sterner test for Hibs but there's no doubt Hibs can beat them in this match and the return game as well but player freshness is an issue. I'd luv to see Hibs finish them off at ER tomorrow night - just do it and render the return match to be a 'kick about'. I also hope we have a decent ref to deal with the cynical tactics that are definitely being orchestrated by their manager, Houston. I think they'll be 'at it again' and I hope the SFA officials have observed what they were doing in the last game at ER when they undeservedly drew with Hibs - a refereeing disgrace when the b####### should've been left with only 8 players on the pitch by FT!!
I notice we have never lost to Falkirk since that 'steal' of a Scottish Cup semi-final when we dominated them from start to finish - long may that continue!!!
