[Stax]

Just starting on ITV, Jorge on the bench.

[pontius pilate]

Good stuff thanks for that

[Scouse Hibee]

3 minutes in and no mention of 1966 :grr:

That was well covered in celebrity pointless earlier :greengrin

[Onceinawhile]

Glad to see tylsleydale doing his pre match prep with andre marriner. Calling sturridge wellbeck!

[Onceinawhile]

Game over?

Players off due the lightning. Half hour delay ffs.

[Scouse Hibee]

Electrical storm, players off the pitch for 30 mins

Aye but was the ball over the line or had the Russian linesman been struck by that lightning? :greengrin

[NthCarolinaHibs]

Weather problems..well if this is no a case for Summer football..eh..hod oan...

[Scouse Hibee]

Aye but was the ball over the line or had the Russian linesman been struck by that lightning? :greengrin


I am reliably informed that it was over the line :greengrin

[Hiber-nation]

Adrian Chiles must be the biggest buffoon ever to appear on television.

[Scouse Hibee]

Back on in 10 mins

[Jonnyboy]

Adrian Chiles must be the biggest buffoon ever to appear on television.

To be fair he has some pretty stiff competition, the likes of Gerry Armstrong, Mark Lawrenson and Liam MacLeod :wink:

[easty]

Quality tackle Izaguirre. :greengrin

[Stax]

As an aside, I really think England / premiership sides are missing a trick not having Glen Hoddle involved in a coaching role. One of few pundits I enjoy listening to and always seems to be one step ahead in his analysis. His thoughts on "karma" another matter altogether though..wibble :greengrin

[Scouse Hibee]

WTF! Sturridge done well not to react to that.

[leither17]

Some heavy challenges going in England team are pulling out them all over the sjop

[iwasthere1972]

What channel is it on? I would look but the telly is off.

[Jonnyboy]

What channel is it on? I would look but the telly is off.

No much point in asking for the channel then :greengrin

[easty]

The tackling hasn't been that bad, they're blowing it out of proportion. The one on Gerrard wasn't great, but it wasn't malicious or anything. The one of Sturridge on the halfway line was nothing at all, he didn't need to start rolling about like a wee bitch.

Cannae defend Izaguirre though, what the **** was he thinking? :greengrin

[Stax]

What channel is it on? I would look but the telly is off.
973 on sky, but if yer telly's off your snookered :greengrin

[iwasthere1972]

:greengrin. It is now. Decided to leave my music on and watch the fitba without the commentary. Half time...come on Honduras.

[iwasthere1972]

It's no the snooker am looking for it's the fitba. :greengrin

[Scouse Hibee]

No mention yet of 1966, I thought it was always mentioned :confused:

You just did !!!

[GlasgowHibee]

Jorge Claros on for Honduras! :greengrin:thumbsup:

[Scouse Hibee]

You just did !!!


So it's a.net myth that 1966 is always mentioned on TV when England play, maybe the 2nd half then...............................Claros is on

[easty]

'Mon Claros!

[Gatecrasher]

Viva Claros :thumbsup:

They were too busy crying about the big bad Hondurans putting hard tackles on England players to talk about anything else.

And rightly so!

[macca70]

Hibs get a mention 'On comes the former Hibernian player, Claros, nicknamed Pitbull'

You watching on a delay?

[Scouse Hibee]

We all are :greengrin

[theonlywayisup]

Hibs get a mention 'On comes the former Hibernian player, Claros, nicknamed Pitbull who once lost 5-1 in a Scottish Cup Final against their bitter rivals Hertz'

Thank goodness it wasn't Liam McLeod commenting :rolleyes:

[matty_f]

I miss Claros.

[iwasthere1972]

We all are :greengrin

Are we?

[Scouse Hibee]

Are we?


Yes it was delayed for 40 mins :wink:

[iwasthere1972]

Of course. :aok:

Italy are nothing special. Might as well just give them the cup now.

[Scouse Hibee]

Italy are usually slow starters at tournaments, that's our best chance of beating them in my opinion

[Scouse Hibee]

And rightly so!


Was going to happen.....red card.

[iwasthere1972]

Even James Collins would have tucked that chance away.

Joan might have but James nah

Fair comment, fwiw I think Lallana will play a big part in England's performances and should start in that game.

[stoneyburn hibs]

If only a lightning strike had hit Chiles and Townsend, Hoddle sweats for England,

[Onceinawhile]

England need to learn how to keep possession otherwise they'll struggle.

[iwasthere1972]

I know it's only a friendly but England are rank rotten of what I've seen up to now.

:agree: Hoping they have a lot more to offer when the tournament starts.

[easty]

They've no really been tested defensively, and it's just not came off for them going forward. Welbeck shouldn't be starting for them. Not good enough at all.

[Lewis77]

Just genuinely heard the English commentator saying that "Honduras are very much like Costa Rica, so England don't have anything really to worry about".

This was said when the score was 0-0 and Honduras had played half the game with ten men. Over confidence?

[stokesmessiah]

During the Thunderstorm i think it was Townsend that was going on about how potent the front line was for England and how temas will struggle to handle them. Am i just missing something?

[easty]

Wilshere is a really good player. I can't stand him to be honest. But he's so quick and tidy with the ball. More so than other players England have.

I thought the same, but if this Honduras team beat Costa Rica twice, then I don't think they have anything to fear either.

[Scouse Hibee]

Good workout for a friendly......................next.

[beensaidbefore]

Claros has looked decent tonight. Wish we could get him back. Composed on the ball, and can be seen to be organising the players around him. Very few England players attemptng to take the ball round him either. Could do with that kind of player for next year.

Anyone know if if he left on good terms with hibs, and was there any indication he would wish to return? Before anyone starts, i know it is unlikely he ever will return, just interested if he enjoyed his time here?

Abramovich needs to get him signed up.

[Gatecrasher]

Been watching some of the USA v Nigeria, the US team play some tidy football.

Hmmm

[Lewis77]

Ha! We'll see.

We will indeed :greengrin

Two **** teams. They'll do nowt at the World Cup.

Or maybe it it should slightly amended to no justified confidence !! or no justifiable confidence!

Led to beeline he absolutely loved it here and was very settled ... However he won't be with us next season

Predictable arrogance: that old assumption that England are so much bigger and better than they actually are and that it's a formality that they will crush all other "diddy" teams. They (the commentators) just never learn.

I don't think there is anything arrogant in thinking that they should beat Honduras. The media down there have actually been very realistic for years, no worse than the Scottish media really.

:agree: Absolutely, this media love England myth is ridiculous.

Nah. It's not.

Load of rubbish of a game. Turned it over after a bit. Two awful teams:agree:

[Scouse Hibee]

Nah. It's not.


Blinkered.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

The majority of folk in England know they are nowhere near good enough to win the World Cup, to be fair a lot of the sensible media know it too, it's more the tabloids that try and whip them into a frenzy then kick them in the baws when it inevitably goes wrong.

Most of the lads in my local were banging on about how they should "batter" such small teams. Mind you, most of the lads in my local know **** all about football.

One even said they'll beat Italy 4-0!

I know plenty of Hibs fans that say the very same thing about Hibs, clueless the lot of them, England and Hibs fans.
