(NHC) todays games

[Moulin Yarns]

Motherwell 1 up against St Johnstone in the diddy cup semi final after 5 minutes.

Shocker by the keeper

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Celtic will hump Aberdeen tomorrow and Motherwell have a better chance of beating Celtic in the final, so hope they win.

[Moulin Yarns]

I was hearing the 'crowd' have been strategically placed to make it look busy for the telly cameras

[R'Albin]

The crowd looks poor. Can't be more than 20k there:rolleyes:

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

2-0

[R'Albin]

What a hit 2-0 Murphy.

[Moulin Yarns]

Another goal for the steelmen 2-0 game pretty much over as we know Saints can't score to save themselves.

I reckon about 14000 at the game

[IWasThere2016]

Talk yesterday was 12k

Well cruising it so far ..

[.Sean.]

What a disgraceful support. Taking nothing away from those who made the trip, it's the 'supporters' of either side who will be watching either at home or in the boozer that need to have a look at themselves. No doubt they'll come crawling out the woodwork and find themselves embroiled in a scramble for tickets soon enough.

Isn't our average home attendance more than 12k?

3-0 to Motherwell, time to go and get on with the garden

[SteveHFC]

3-0 Sutton, game over

[Wembley67]

3-0 to Motherwell, time to go and get on with the garden

I've been saying that for 4 weeks now...always tomorrow!

Not this again.

As if it isnt enough being an uberfan of Hibs you're now preeching to Motherwell and St Johnstone fans.

:applause::applause:

[Baldy Foghorn]

Every time I see Randolph in Motherwell goals, he always impresses me, commands his area well

[Broken Gnome]

To be fair, they have a combined core home support of around 5,000 so they've more than doubled that. If smaller English clubs from big towns get to play at Wembley, they take a fair percentage of the population along for the day out - doesn't happen here, especially not for a cup semi-final. Which starts at 12.45, thus ruining the day out element for non-regulars.

If we were playing either side in the same situation, we'd probably take far less than we might think.

[Allant1981]

Im glad im not a fan of either team, talk about boring

[iwasthere1972]

I can see Motherwell winning this 4-0.

Any manager losing by that score in a semi final of the Scottish Cup should be instantly sacked. :wink:

[Broken Gnome]

Aye, we'd never want to be in Motherwell's position right now.

:agree: We only managed 25,000 against Dunfermline in 2007.

Based on today's crowd there's a very good argument for semi finals of the SC not featuring the OF, Hibs or Hearts to be played at Easter Road or Tynecastle.

[Allant1981]

Aye, we'd never want to be in Motherwell's position right now.

Didnt say anything about not wanting to be in their position, its not as if they win 3-0 everyweek and if you would be happy watching this type of football then thats up to you

Motherwell killed the game off in the for half with a more than decent performance. The second half was always going to be dull in comparison.

[IWasThere2016]

The venue is a large part of the issue IMHO - it is a hole, and a difficult one to get to.
The fking thing should have been rebuilt (so areas behind the goal were nearer the goal) and it was sited in the central belt eg Perf, Stirling etc.

[essexhibee]

How comes hibs can't host the semi? Lovely stadium that would generate the atmosphere with the smaller crowd.

[Moulin Yarns]

Well, popped back in from the garden to catch the final 5 minutes, and it seems Motherwell didn't need to do much more in the second half. Poor Saints, they appear to have some kind of Scottish Cup hoodoo :wink:

127 years of failure :na na:

It's not as if we're thrill a minute and haven't been for some time. Given a lot of people on here would like the likes of Humphrey, Murphy and Sutton at Hibs, nowt wrong with Motherwell at all - crusing in a Scottish Cup semi final isn't really the time to judge.

[Moulin Yarns]

Next up is the Huns against St Mirren and the diet Huns up at Inverness. So I'll be back out to the garden, and get the tatties planted.

sorry you're right im wrong. I didnt even mention hibs in my post. Even in the first half they were both dire and craigan and mcall pretty much said as much, again if thats the type of football you think is decent then thats up to you. Ill stick with MY OPINION and think the game was murder

How comes hibs can't host the semi? Lovely stadium that would generate the atmosphere with the smaller crowd.

Makes you think in these hardened times apart from it will never be cheaper why folks like Aberdeen are looking to move and up their capacity. Seems to me it will they will be lobbying just as Hibs to host under 21s Semis and Scotland friendlies.
So we it wont be one way traffic to ER.

Other thing is concert venues.

Didn't read the thread on when well fill the east but its an interesting question with pricing an issue games on Sky and dodgy streams revenue sources will have to be complimented by other means...

Come on the City.

Hope FalkirkHibee managed to get a good seat at Wembley to see his beloved Man U. :greengrin

Anyone else watching the M V St J game think the same as me ?
What a tosspot Ian Brines is !
No matter how trivial an offence it was there was always a "snarl" and gesticulating with the hands .
The man has no "people skills" whatsoever
A poor advert for Scottish refereeing :asshole:

[iwasthere1972]

Good save by Hart.

[Liam89]

What a miss from Berbatov!

[Pretty Boy]

How poor are Man City?

For a club thats spending over the last couple of seasons has run into the hundreds of millions they really are disappointingly dull.

United just look so much more composed on the ball and far more like a team that has been built and grown rather than thrown together thanks to wads of cash.

[Newry Hibs]

What is this 'look at Rooney' every time there's a chance? ITV are seriously crap at football. More about reaction than action.

Noticed that myself, he was just as bad in the St Johnstone v Celtic game during the week too. Not sure how the refs can expect respect from the players when you see him snarling away and being aggressive towards the players. An absolute joke of a ref!

[Pretty Boy]

I'm convinced Berbatov has a few quid on City winning this one.

[SteveHFC]

1-0 Man City :thumbsup:

[iwasthere1972]

Strangely we weren't treated to a glimpse of Rooney.

[Sir David Gray]

1-0 Manchester City, Yaya Toure.

No problem, still 38 minutes left. :agree:

[Pretty Boy]

Looks like Carrick has lumped a wedge on City as well.

United need to get Hernandez on the park if they want anything out of this.

If City win this he's earned his bonus. 2 brilliant saves.

[SteveHFC]

Scholes sent off.

[iwasthere1972]

Yes 10 men. Scholes off

[Pretty Boy]

100% spot on by the ref.

Thought it was harsh at first but seeing the replay he had to go, wasn't intentional but was a bad tackle.

[Lofarl]

Horrid challenge. Deserving of a red.

[Westie1875]

I can only assume Fergie was on drugs when he sanctioned the new contract.

Nope. Some of Rooney's behaviour is unacceptable and Scholes' tackle today was shocking and totally deserving of a red card.

He just seems to have a real problem, he clearly has a screw loose somewhere.

He is one of the huffiest, most temperamental football players I have ever seen. I don't think I've seen him smile once since he signed for Manchester City.

For a guy of 20 years old who probably earns about £5-6 million a year, he appears to have some amount of problems.

If MU had taken their chances today they could have won, but they've no-one to blame for defeat but themselves. (I haven't heard fergie post match - is he actually complaining about anything today?)

I feel really sorry for Sir Alex. There should be some sort of inquiry into the standard of refereeing Manchester United are continually subjected to. They never seem to get the breaks. Perhaps United need a more vocal coach, like Neil Lennon, who is prepared to go into bat against the footballing establishment, who really appear to have it in for this great club.

Wenger: " Time was over" :na na:

And the most blatant showings of denial...." It wasn't a penalty"

Fantastic. :hahaha:

The time was added on after Van Persie stripped off and ran over to the crowd.

I love watching Arsenal, i have seen them in the flesh on a few occasions but for years Wenger has over looked the problems in his team and has the gaul to blame everyone and their dog.

They will never win anything any time soon as they have zero bottle and he wont address long standing frailtes

[R'Albin]

Said Kenny Dalglish to Arsene Wenger:-

"*iss off ------- it WAS a penalty!"

:greengrin

You can say piss:wink:

I liked your accidental pun - it made me laugh!

I like watching Arsenal but the silver lining on day like this is watching the post match cartoon that Wenger invariably turns into.

[Sir David Gray]

Will winning the league on its own make up for it, because the latter is HIGHLY unlikely.

After watching Barcelona's match last night, I wouldn't be too sure about that.

I would say they've peaked. :greengrin

Is this you aiming for double or quits on your forfeit?

That depends, what does the "double" constitute? :confused:

[Sylar]

Don't think Wenger can have any complaints - he's on the same par of classlessness as Sir Alex Ferguson when decisions don't go "the right way".

I enjoy watching Arsenal play football, as they are easily one of the better-on-the-eye teams in the Premiership, but they try to over-elaborate just about everything!

They were both penalties and the time added on was justified, as there was a substitute within the 8 minutes and then the time for sorting out the Arsenal penalty, the following Liverpool protests and Van Persie's celebration (did he get booked by the way - didn't see a card?).

Arsenal don't have the character to step up in big games, and they proved it yet again today - I won't be surprised whatsoever if Tottenham beat them at the Lane on Wednesday. That's what separates them from clubs like Man Utd - they might not pride themselves in lovely football all the time, but they know what it takes to get the job done, and more often than not, they step up when it's needed. They're certainly deserving champions this year when it finally happens.

I wouldn't quite say Barcelona have peaked yet FH - gruelling trip back from the Ukraine on Thursday, followed by a further flight from Barcelona to Madrid, and not much prep time in between. They still controlled the game yesterday, but lacked a clinical touch. Not bad for a team still fighting on the front of 3 competitions :wink:

I took you saying that Barca have peaked as an expression of confidence that MU would win the EPL and the CL. Which I would think is unlikely.

I understand that. I just want to clarify what the terms of the "double or quits" deal would be.

Obviously quits means that the forfeit for City beating United yesterday would be off if United go on to win the league and Champions League. If they DON'T win both, how would the forfeit be doubled?

Two baths?

Beans & mushy peas?

Ahh right, think I'll pass! :greengrin

If HibbyAndy decides that the single forfeit is sitting in mushy peas up to your shoulders for twenty minutes, then simply double the height of the mushy peas for the double forfeit. Don't see any problem with that. :agree:

You're never allowed to mention Man Ure on the messageboard again? :dunno:
