Chelsea game is 100 miles an hour defo another goal coming but for who?

[Pretty Boy]

C'mon Dundee United.

I'd rather they beat them in the replay but beating them today and in the replay would be even better

[Pretty Boy]

Take it the ticket split wasn't 50/50 today? Celtic look like they have a far bigger allocation than United.

[hibee-boys]

Take it the ticket split wasn't 50/50 today? Celtic look like they have a far bigger allocation than United.

I'd imagine they would've split the tickets if Utd were confident of selling them.

[Sir David Gray]

Take it the ticket split wasn't 50/50 today? Celtic look like they have a far bigger allocation than United.

Dundee Utd probably didn't come close to selling 25000 tickets.

[Pretty Boy]

Dundee Utd probably didn't come close to selling 25000 tickets.

Pretty poor from them considering they took just under 30K to the SC final last year.

[LaMotta]

Dundee Utd probably didn't come close to selling 25000 tickets.

Looks like a few gaps in the utd end which is dissapointing. Unless they fill up soon.

[DH1875]

Looks like Utd havent even sold out the tickets that they did get. Pretty poor if you ask me.

[Pete]

Very noticeable sectarian singing.

[SteveHFC]

Gloryhunters mate

[Sylar]

How on earth did Ambrose avoid a booking there?!

[Jim44]

How on earth did Ambrose avoid a booking there?!

........... and how many refs have any idea how far ten yards Is?

[DH1875]

Gloryhunters mate

They normally go to cup finals though.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Gloryhunters mate

If a glory hunter chooses to miss a Cup Final can he still be classed as a glory hunter?

[Pretty Boy]

Some save by Gordon there. Big and brave.

[SteveHFC]

If a glory hunter chooses to miss a Cup Final can he still be classed as a glory hunter?

No really :greengrin

[TheFamous1875]

How on earth did Ambrose avoid a booking there?!

must be be the shirt he's wearing :na na:

Risky from Dundee Utd playing 4 defensive midfielders, but could pay off? They keep Celtic under wraps and then bring on Telfer, Connolly, Anier and could possibly snatch it. I reckon that's JMac's plan.

Personally, I want Celtic to win this, 'cause if they don't, they'll be even more determined to win the Scottish, thus making it harder for us to do so!

If they win this , then the treble is on . Cmon Dundee Hibernian , do the cup double ( just over Celtic )

Ggtth

[DH1875]

Anyone else think the utd shirt would look quite smart done in green and white instead of the orange and black.

[lord bunberry]

I'd forgotten that hearts ******* played for Dundee Utd, I hope Celtic stick 5 past them

[Pretty Boy]

1-0 Celtic.

Comedy club defending.

[lord bunberry]

Get in there. I hope it finishes 5-1

[Sylar]

Dirty *******s :rolleyes:

[mutley]

What's going on with sparky's hair ? Implants?

[Pete]

Buy your oppositions best players therefore considerably weakening them. Well done Celtic what an achievement this victory will be.

Time to put the tea on.

[Sylar]

It was so inevitible that the first yellow card was going to go to a United player in spite of the 2 'professional' fouls by Iziguire and Ambrose.

[hibee-boys]

What's going on with sparky's hair ? Implants?

Looks as though it's work in progress!;)

[Borderhibbie76]

What's going on with sparky's hair ? Implants?

Dunno but he has become a right liitle annoying rantic moaner...obvs expects every decision to go.his way now he plays for THEM

[hibee-boys]

That looked a penalty!

[Pretty Boy]

That's a penalty. Soft but a penalty nonethless.

[David_D]

If that had been at the other end it would have been a Penalty.

[hibee-boys]

Foul anywhere else on the park = penalty!!

[HiBremian]

That looked a penalty!

Ref helping the soap dodgers on their way? :rolleyes:

[Sylar]

Anywhere else on the park that's a free kick.

[BroxburnHibee]

100% penalty!!!!

Shocking decision.

[EdinMike]

That's a Pen every day of the week. Brown should be off.

[Bishop Hibee]

Stonewall pen for Utd not given.

[Hibby Bairn]

Not soft at all. He pushes him in the box. Penalty.

[blackpoolhibs]

That was a penalty, but i think the ref took into consideration Brown was pissed.

[Pretty Boy]

How gash is the atmosphere?

A wee burst after Celtic scored and a half ersed attempt at the Soliders Song and that's it.

[WillowbraeHibby]

Dunno but he has become a right liitle annoying rantic moaner...obvs expects every decision to go.his way now he plays for THEM

He's a right Bhoy now.... :rolleyes:

[WillowbraeHibby]

That was a penalty, but i think the ref took into consideration Brown was pissed.


:top marks

[WillowbraeHibby]

Just asked the missus if she wants any painting done.... This is crap... :cb

[matty_f]

Definite penalty IMHO, it wasn't shoulder to shoulder, it was a shove in the back. Ref bottled it.

[DH1875]

So, did utd take more fans to the semi than they have to the final?

[H18 SFR]

Just asked the missus if she wants any painting done.... This is crap... :cb

Missus just told me this is like watching paint dry, you two should hook up to discuss all things paint related...

[Spike Mandela]

Atmosphere really flat at cup final. Strange.

[WillowbraeHibby]

Missus just told me this is like watching paint dry, you two should hook up to discuss all things paint related...


:faf:...... I deserved that... :greengrin

[RamblingJack]

50 shades of gray (paint)?

[Hibby Bairn]

Harrison being an erse.

[SteveHFC]

.
50 shades of gray (paint)?

:faf:

[David_D]

Shock Horror Hartson saying it was not a penalty. I think he comes across as an erse.

[hibee-boys]

P*** off Hartson.

[TheFamous1875]

Atmosphere really flat at cup final. Strange.

I dinnae think it's strange; it's indicative of a club who don't have the same team they had when they qualified, knowing that they'll probably get their bahookies handed to them by a club who're indifferent to success as they just buy it (GMS, Armstrong) when they can't earn it. It's a sombre atmosphere that's perfectly representative of that ugly side to scottish football. I live in hope that Hibernian can be the exception to this tired road.

[WillowbraeHibby]

See wit ye started Tommyrob.... I'm off for a game o' Super Mario..... 2 :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Very noticeable sectarian singing.

:tsk tsk: They're not sectarian, just political.

Please get it right.

[Sir David Gray]

Manchester Utd 1-0 Tottenham, Fellaini

[David_D]

Man utd 1-0 up on spurs

[haagsehibby]

Hartson- a guy that would fall over in the box if a gentle breeze blew in his direction.

[Sir David Gray]

Sean Dillon sent off.

[Betty Boop]

Dillon deserves to be off for that.

[Hermit Crab]

Sean Dillon sent off.

Handing Celtic the treble.

[Pretty Boy]

That was a shocker of a challenge. Red card any day of the week.

[Sir David Gray]

Manchester Utd 2-0 Tottenham, Carrick

[Mr White]

2 nil man u

[Bishop Hibee]

Definite red. Given Brown didn't even get a yellow last week, you do wonder if it would have been red the other way.

[Hibby Bairn]

Carrick. Braw player.

[Sylar]

Late, yes; 2 footed, no; studs showing, yes; high, no...

Given how reluctant Madden has been to book anyone wearing green, Dillon can feel aggrieved IMO.

[matty_f]

Handing Celtic the treble.

Have they won the league and Scottish already? When did that happen?

[lord bunberry]

Handing Celtic the treble.
You won't be going to the semi final then, no point really with that attitude

[BroxburnHibee]

Dillon should have been off in the first half.

He was clearly struggling.

[Hamish]

Why is Mark Oxley coming on for Utd?

[Hibernian Verse]

Late, yes; 2 footed, no; studs showing, yes; high, no...

Given how reluctant Madden has been to book anyone wearing green, Dillon can feel aggrieved IMO.

Come on, that was definitely high. Doesn't matter if it's two footed either, it was a horrendous challenge.

How can Dillon feel aggrieved?!

[Pretty Boy]

Late, yes; 2 footed, no; studs showing, yes; high, no...

Given how reluctant Madden has been to book anyone wearing green, Dillon can feel aggrieved IMO.

It was about a yard off the ground, out of control and reckless.

It was as clear a red card as you'll see.

[David_D]

Everton 1 Newcastle 0

[matty_f]

It was about a yard off the ground, out of control and reckless.

It was as clear a red card as you'll see.
:agree: Definitely a red card, I can see United having another one sent off as well they way that they're going. Hopefully Mcgowan.

[Sylar]

Come on, that was definitely high. Doesn't matter if it's two footed either, it was a horrendous challenge.

How can Dillon feel aggrieved?!

I don't think it was particularly high. It was just off the ground - I agree it was a red by the way - he was out of control and wreckless - I just disagree with the way the commentators are justifying it!

He can feel aggrieved because the referee has been unbearably inconsistent thus far today and had Scott Brown made the same tackle, I've no doubt in my mind he'd get nothing more than a finger wagged at him from Bobby Madden.

[hibee-boys]

Come on, that was definitely high. Doesn't matter if it's two footed either, it was a horrendous challenge.

How can Dillon feel aggrieved?!

He shouldn't feel aggrieved regarding sending off, he's got to wonder why Van Dyk was allowed to run his studs down his shin in the first half without punishment.

[Sylar]

It was about a yard off the ground, out of control and reckless.

It was as clear a red card as you'll see.

It's perhaps semantics then - someone says a 'high tackle' to me and I think knee or above.

As I said, I don't disagree it was a red.

[Borderhibbie76]

I see John Rankin is as gash as ever

[Pretty Boy]

Griffiths really does ooze Celticness now doesn't he?

[Since90+2]

TBH hope Celtic go on and win this. If United equalise and it goes to extra time they will be knackered for the replay in midweek as they can't freshen up their team as much as Celtic.

[Mikey]

Have they won the league and Scottish already? When did that happen?

Best ignored :wink:

[Borderhibbie76]

Griffiths really does ooze Celticness now doesn't he?

Yup PB...he is fast becoming one of THEM

[David_D]

3 nil Man utd Rooney

[Sir David Gray]

Manchester Utd 3-0 Tottenham, Rooney

[Sir David Gray]

Handing Celtic the treble.

How does Dundee Utd going down to ten men today have any bearing whatsoever on Celtic's chances of winning either the league title or the Scottish Cup? :confused:

Really struggling with that one.

[Hermit Crab]

Hibs should have a plan to play with ten men next Sunday. Just incase our old pal CT is ref.

[Hermit Crab]

2-0 celtic.

[Sir David Gray]

Dundee Utd 0-2 Celtic, Forrest

[Mikey09]

That's a penalty. Soft but a penalty nonethless.


Its a penalty.... However it's just one of those honest mistakes from ANOTHER official. Game changer.

[O'Rourke3]

There's a first. Commentator reminding everyone Hearts got beat by 9 men last year

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Clearly offside at the 2nd goal there, right in front of the linesman as well.

[Mon Dieu4]

The media are obsessed with Celtc winning the treble eh? With the money they have compared to everyone else it's like me punching Steven Hawking and claiming to be world Heavyweight champion :rolleyes:

[Joe's ice cream]

It's an ongoing commentator selick love in I see

[SteveHFC]

Liam McLeod is a ****ing tragic.

[tamig]

Well he's certainly got a hair transplant if that's what you mean.

[Hermit Crab]

With the money they have they should be winning the treble, especially with Rangers in such a bad way.

[Hermit Crab]

Liam McLeod is a ****ing tragic.



He's an Aberdeen fan.

[Pretty Boy]

Rooneys celebration in the Man Utd game was quite amusing.

[Joe's ice cream]

Couldn't wait to give it

[Hermit Crab]

Pen celtic, Missed.

[tamig]

Aye it was good :-)

This. Ronnie D is jumping about as if he'd steered his side to world club championship glory! As Kevin Keegan said "I'd love it if we beat them!!"

[Sir David Gray]

Forrest has penalty saved.

Still 2-0.

[Hermit Crab]

Couldn't wait to give it


Had no choice. Clear penalty.

[GlesgaeHibby]

Had no choice. Clear penalty.

As clear as the pen in the first have that he didn't give

[erin go bragh]

Celtic get a soft pen shock . Hope Utd get revenge on Wednesday .

Ggtth

[lord bunberry]

[CRAZYHIBBY]

[NAE NOOKIE]

Couldn't agree more mate.

That was a penalty all the way in the 1st half, but sending off was correct unfortunately. Stopped watching at 2 - 0. Lets hope Utd get revenge on Wednesday ... though I doubt it http://www.hibs.net/images/smilies/no%20way.gif

[Biggie]

Celtic get a soft pen shock . Hope Utd get revenge on Wednesday .

Ggtth
Indeed mate....two major decisions...and shock horror wee team don't get it, Celtic do get it.....I'm not saying the Celtic one wasn't a pen, but madden couldn't wait to give it.

Seen it all before...many times......

Btw, the obsession (and dis-respect for other teams) with the treble is getting on my tits

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Prepare for 10 pages of this every day in the papers for the rest of the week about today and how the treble is on.

[Hermit Crab]

As clear as the pen in the first have that he didn't give


Didnt see the first half I was out.

[MWHIBBIES]

United sold any chance they had in the transfer window.

[Biggie]

Wtf !!......rod Stewart gives the cup away !...that sums scottish football up nicely....a ****ing Tim supporter hands the cup over.
Look forward to one of the proclaimers handing us the cup in May.

[Pretty Boy]

I think Kevin Gallagher said pre game that the only team who could stop Celtic winning the treble was Dundee Utd. Eh no. Hibs, ICT, Dundee Utd, Falkirk plus a few teams in the PL can all stop Celtic winning the treble as it stands. Total disrespect.

Then again given the general level of analysis from him I think he probably meant something totally different but couldn't say it properly.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

An absolute disgrace this, WTF are the SPFL thinking about allowing this?

There's another thread on here about gloryhunters at the moment.

If you want to see a crystal clear example of a gloryhunter the look no further than Rod ****ing Stewart.

100% this- and the bbc can't show him sat in the stand quick enough

[TheFamous1875]

Glad they won. They'll probably win the league as well, and then hopefully they'll get LEATHERED by the original green and white that is Hibernian in the final! Treble, my arse.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Only in scottish football!

Or did they have Lorraine Kelly as a back up?

Can't think of any other famous Dundee Utd fans

[Liberal Hibby]

Rickie Ross was lined up to give it if utd won.

[Betty Boop]

Could have been worse. If D United had won Lorraine Kelly would have been presenting it.

[Ronniekirk]

Hopefully utd beat celtic in the Scottish
Further injuries today and don't know who is suspended but those factors give them no chance given the game is so quick after today's game

[silverhibee]

Could have been worse. If D United had won Lorraine Kelly would have been presenting it.

She wan't at the game due to going on holiday yesterday.

Yeh, I don't know why he said that either, pretty silly thing to say. Still thought he was better than Hartson or Nevin mind you. Regardless of whether he likes Hibs or not, Nevin manages to squeeze a lot of waffling into a relatively short time.

[HH81]

Spurs must have been rank rotten to be losing 3-0 to man u.

Awful result for them.

[Deansy]

glad they won. They'll probably win the league as well, and then hopefully they'll get leathered by the original green and white that is hibernian in the final! Treble, my arse.

this !!

Ggtth !

[Col2]

Funny. In a way pleased United didn't win today as odds are they will one of the 3 games against them this week and hope it's the Scottish cup....

[NAE NOOKIE]

Add Billy Connoly to that list as well PB.

Stewart is from London so supports Man Utd & sellik ... can pretty well ignore him. Connolly is from the Weeg so can support who he likes in the 'G' postcode area.

The one who pisses on ma chips is Sir Seen Canary. Edinburgh born & bred. Bad enough he supports a Weegie team, even worse that he cant make his mind up whether its Celtic or Rangers. Now that's glory hunting max !!!

I don't see the problem with it. If it was Rod Stewart handing it over to either team then yes it would be unfair.

Only if Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool, Southampton and Arsenal resign from the league. Ha.

Only 2pts behind Man City now. Still have Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City to play.

I was trying to think of a famous jambo, but all I could think of was Ronnie Corbett but he would have to stand on a box which would be a health and safety issue. That ugly mare could do the job.

[cabbageandribs1875]
