Abdessalam Benjelloun- no goals please

[blueisthecolour]

I hope he doesn't score on sunday, a wee stat not sure if many of you will know, he has scored 20 goals for hibs and when he doe's score Hibs have never lost.

We all knew that thanks

[Hibercelona]

True.

We have never lost a game that Benji has scored in.

But I very much doubt he'll get a start at Ibrox on Sunday.

[HibeeDaz6270]

We all knew that thanks
I didnt!

[Jonnyboy]

I didnt!

Then you must hang your head in shame :greengrin

Benji's Record Delight!

It is a remarkable record for any striker to have and one that has served Abdessalam Benjelloun well as a Hibernian player. At Easter Road last night the sequence continued in the most dramatic manner - Benji scored his 20th goal for Hibernian with minutes remaining, and it was a goal that ensured a share of the points after the side had trailed 2-0 at the break. And the record that continued with that goal is that when Benji has scored, Hibernian has never lost.

The Moroccan is well aware of his Easter Road record - but he insisted that as good as that might make him feel, it is not nearly as important as his feelings when Hibernian do well: "We lost two points last night, we are much better than we showed in this game, we must show that when we go to Ibrox on Sunday, if we do then I'm sure we will take something from that match - and I would love to score again! I know that when I have scored my goals for Hibernian the side have never lost that is of course just fortunate but it is a good record for me to have, and one that I hope to keep.

"However I was just happy to get on and be able to help the team to win the game after being 2-0 down at half time last night. The manager told me just to go on and play my football and remain calm. I want to do well for this team so to come back in the second half and get that point ahead of a very tough game on Sunday was the important thing for us all. Of course we are not happy that we did not win all three points, but everyone could see the situation so to take something from that game was very good."

Benji was the calmest man on the park as he prepared to take his penalty kick, a job that might well have fallen to Derek Riordan but he had been substituted earlier in the game. Competition for forward places has never been keener at Easter Road - and that is a situation that actually delights Benjelloun: "My first concern is for my club, I have been with Hibernian for four and a half years now and I've learned that I have to put my club first - so the manager has brought in another player, Alan Gow, and that is a good thing for the player and for the club.

"So while of course I want to play every game but I will always be happy for the club if they bring in such players that will improve the squad."

Would you no be better covering all the bases and hoping that none of the Hibs players score?:dunno:

:agree: Remember reading that a couple of months ago. Hope Benji can extend the record to 21/22/23 goals on Sunday.

Is that right :asshole::tee hee:










p.s Can we get a smilie fer "Bawbag" please

[crewetollhibee]

Didn't Ian Rush play something like 200 odd games for Liverpool before they lost a game in which he scored ?

[ballengeich]

A cunning plan for Sunday - field Benji from the start and tell him to o.g. from the kick off. That way we're guaranteed at least a draw.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit :wink:

I remember his goals v Killie in the final. He's a class player and always will be.

[Nando™]

On a really serious note, when Rangers are winning 2-0 in the 60th minute, Benji better appear from the bench.

[Hakim Sar]

A wee additional stat that is very spooky...

Everytime hibs have won in the league they have NEVER lost. Incredible how long we have kept this up.

Incredible stat, another one I saw the other day is that we've never lost when we've scored more than the opposition in a league game.

[hibernian tv]

Run-down of the 17 games Benji has scored in http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/20100213/benjis-goals_2262950_1964640 (http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/20100213/benjis-goals_2262950_1964640)

Also incredibly when we score the same amount of goals as the other team we don't lose either and get a point into the bargain.

And we've never won a game in which we haven't scored. :rolleyes:

[CropleyWasGod]

We did, however, once lose a game in which we didn't concede a goal.

Leeds, 73, on penalties.

Pedantic addendum... ok, it was a "tie" rather than a "game".

[aljo7-0]

And we've never won a game in which we haven't scored. :rolleyes:
Don't mean to be cheeky Doddie (or maybe I do? :greengrin) but have we never won a game when the opposition has scored an own goal? Or would that still count as us scoring?

I think Benji will come off the bench and score on Sunday to open the scoring for Hibs with us going on to win (73rd minute would be very nice)

Oh I am SO happy that you've reminded me of that.

Two hours of pain and frustration culminating on total heartbreak.

I'd love to see him on from the start in place of Riordan. We can't afford to have anyone swanning around with their hands on their hips today and much as I like the 'out of nothing' goals he can score I think we need eleven players knocking their pans in for ninety minutes.

:confused:dont think benji has ever looked like he wants to pretend hes "knocked his pan in". fwiw i was saying on wed he looked lost and hadnt touched the ball before we got the pen.cool finish though.:wink:

Jings... gie the guy some time to get up to the pace of the game:rolleyes: After his penalty, Benji left a sheep defender for dead at the half way line and played a brilliant through ball to Stokes who should have buried it for the winner.

Benji put in a great contribution for the short time he was on the pitch.

See post 5:wink:

[scoopyboy]

Every game Paul Hanlon has scored for Hibs in we have won.
Every game Liam Miller has scored for Hibs in we have won.
Every game Sol Bamba has scored for Hibs in we have won.
Every game Danny Galbraith has scored for Hibs in we have won.
We are undefeated in every game Chris Hogg has scored for Hibs.

If all these players + Benji score tomorrow then the above stats should still be valid.

FACT.
