'Ross and Maloney must be chuckling; absolutely shocking; contrived penalty' - Hibs fans react to 1-1 draw with Greenock Morton

Hibs fans react on social media after seeing their club all but eliminated from the Premier Sports Cup with a draw and bonus-point penalties loss against Greenock Morton.

@Dennynews: “Embarrassing. Try signing some senior players before it’s too late.”

@RobbieG36675201: “Absolutely shocking performance we actually only start playing until we are getting beat.”

@paulp79: “Powder puff in the middle of the pitch, passing far too slow an absolute shambles.”

@VincentDochert2: “Another dreadful performance. Loads of possession, little skill at the sharp end, and frustrating refereeing with a soft, contrived, penalty.”

@jimpurdie: "Should be the end of some players' contracts at Hibs. That is awful. We had absolutely no one today.”

@ElskiFatboyslim: "Sorry but LJ appointment looking like another failure even before league started. Owners haven't got a clue!”

@SIAinslie: "Absolute shambles! Is there anyone involved the the recruitment strategy that has the slightest clue that you need experienced, proven, course and distance quality players in key areas to compete!?!? Nope - I didn’t think so!”

@persevered1875: "That should be the end for Newell, Porto and Doidge as well.”

@scottyb1875: “Suppose it means we dinnae have to worry about ticket allocation for ER West this year.”

@BilesLiddell: "Jack Ross and Shaun Maloney must be chuckling tonight. Same issues as last season can’t score -even when we have penalties. McGeady seems pretty poor at penalties two out of two misses. Going to be another long season of mediocrity I fear.”

@RiversideBoy68: "We didn’t even get the extra point. Awful. 4 missed penalties! I’ll not be spending hard earned cash watching that at ER. Not at £60 for 3 people per match.”
