Stoke have been superb especially their front 3!

[silverhibee]

Stoke have been superb especially their front 3!

Citeh down to 10 men after using all there subs.

[Mr White]

Stoke have been superb especially their front 3!

:agree: Some lovely passing moves, shaqiri is some player!

[Aldo]

Citeh down to 10 men after using all there subs.

Should of been down to 10 earlier with a citeh player kicking out at Shaquri.

Poor at end from them though showing poor sportsmanship towards Stoke players.

Well deserved victory for Stoke but for the amount of money spent by Citeh they are very poor.

[Aldo]

:agree: Some lovely passing moves, shaqiri is some player!

So is Bojan. Wonderful team performance

For the money they throw about there isn't a single standout team in the EPL. Every single one of the top 6 or 7 has pretty glaring issues.

[MWHIBBIES]

:agree: Some lovely passing moves, shaqiri is some player!Not really, this was his first good game all season. There is a reason Inter and Bayern didn't want him.

Yip.

Spurs have been pretty consistent tbh without a loss in 12 I think. They've a half decent team. I thought Arsenal would do well this season however injuries and the lack of transfer activity has scuppered their chances IMHO.

But yeah big money doesn't mean good team.

[frazeHFC]

Stoke were brilliant. Took Shaqiri out my fantasy prem team this morning, absolutely furious.

[Mr White]

Whatever. He played well today :aok:

[MWHIBBIES]

[Pretty Boy]

What is funny? He played brilliantly today but he has been very poor for Stoke so far and wouldn't have failed at Bayern and Inter if he has ''some player''.

It's all relative.

John McGinn is some player but he'd likely flop at Inter and Bayern as well.

We get the Bundesliga here AS well HH and I agree with you, it is much better than the premier league, I have just watched Wolfsburg v Borussia Dortmund, what a cracking match, end to end from first to final whistle, Dortmund won 2-1

[Pretty Boy]

Huge part of the problem.

Teams essentially throwing Europa League games, a competition they could well win, for the sake of finishing a place or 2 higher in the league.

Only saw the second half if I'm honest. But that was pretty boring I thought.

:agree: Living on past glories, with the media talking it up. The EPL is loosing its gloss. Yes, still able to throw up some classic games but overall most of the matches are wallpaper.

[Hiber-nation]

For a club of their size, Bournemouth were brilliant. Mind you Chelsea are just behind hearts and The rangers in my book so any game they lose is very enjoyable for me.

Who would have predicted Leicester City would be sitting two points clear at the top of the Premier Division at this stage of the season, and Chelsea sitting 14th? (pleasing).

Not an expert by any means but the games I've seen on MOTD have in the main been great. Good skill, great playing surfaces and full stadiums. Can't beat it in my opinion.

First time at St james's park and had a great time. First half wasn't great but really opened up second half. Disappointed with Liverpool but the noise when Newcastle scored... unbelievable! Well impressed with that and the stadium. Soft spot for Liverpool but went along as a neutral as just enjoy watching football and will definitely be back there for another game!

Was at Lothian's game tonight. Cracking side. Well deserved 3-0 win against a Terry Butcher style Huntly! They were poor. Dean Cummings very good player. Well done LTHV. Away to East Kilbride in the 4th round.... Great chance to go further!!

i see Danny Lennon has resigned at Alloa

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35034739

Danny Lennon has resigned as manager of Alloa Athletic after picking up just five points from 16 games in the Scottish Championship.

[Since90+2]

Think the 3-0 scoreline flattered Huntly , LTHV battered them in the 2nd half and it could have been 5 or 6.

Despite the league they play in Lothian IMO are on par with a top League 2 or lower end League 1 side. They have only been hampered with promotion in recent years by not having a SPLF compliant home ground. They now have a real chance of making the last 16 of the Scottish cup which would be a fantastic achievement which would give them a huge financial boost and likely Nationwide press coverage.

On a separate note the setup they have at Spartans is fantastic. I really hope they make it into the football league structure as I could see them becoming a lot of folk from the north of Edinburgh's second team.

Score completely flattered Huntly. Lothian are a very good side. Reading Tom Allison's comments in the proggramme he has a wee dig at our wonderful council for there complete lack of assistance to get the facilities they require. It's such a shame but as you say maybe the exposure from this Cup run will make them realise LTHV are worth helping out. Lothian have beaten higher league clubs consistently over the past few years but as always it comes down to facilities. Maybe they should go down the road of Admin, bumping there bills and then the council might help them out?! :greengrin

Why should they get assistance to improve their ground, and yet nobody i know thinks hertz should get a penny help from the council? :confused:

[Mikey09]

Because LTHV paid there bills, unlike Hertz who bumped everyone including CEC. They are also a valuable asset to the community coaching hundreds of kids right through to there senior team now. I don't think it's much to ask Edinburgh council to upgrade the facilities at Saughton... Do you?

[Thecat23]

Why should they get assistance to improve their ground, and yet nobody i know thinks hertz should get a penny help from the council? :confused:

You do have a valid point. But I don't think they have shafted many charities, companies etc.

But for the record, I do agree that you can't just pick and choose who you give money too.

Well if they have spare money to fund an upgrade at saughton, maybe they could spend some on Hibs while they are at it too?

We've also paid our bills.

My point is Saughton is a Council facility and it's a ****in disgrace. LTHV pay good money to play there so the least they deserve are decent changing rooms etc. They are doing there best to get into the Lowland League and the council ain't helping one little bit with the state of Saughton. I thought we were trying to promote football in this country. Not if some of our councils have there way. ********s.

If they have ambitions to play professional football at as high a level as possible, then in my opinion they should pay for the facilities needed for this.

They play at saughton because that's the standard of facilities they needed, if they need better now then find better and pay the price it costs for better.

This country has more than enough teams, why should teams who want to play professional football get council help, when those already playing professional football don't?

Maybe those clubs who are struggling in the lower leagues should also get a bit of help from the council, after all it's only fair.

In that case every youth team should get purpose built facilities from the council!

[Since90+2]

Did Spartans fully pay for the demolition of their old stand , building of a new 500 seater stand plus multiple astro turf pitches aswell as brand new changing facilities and clubhouse from their own funds or did they have assistance from the council / government?

I hope the council were not complicit in helping a community club , who have helped rejuvenate a community and have hundreds of young kids (including lots of girls) get involved in a meaningful sporting activity each week? That would be shocking.

Exactly - so if they want to assist in building other community facilities they should do it in the South and the East of the city. The question would remain Why should Hutchie benefit when many other clubs get almost nothing.

[Since90+2]

Saughton is in the west of the city and that is what Lothian (Hutchie) are trying to improve upon.

Can you imagine the benefit to the local kids in the area if something similar could be accomplished at Saughton as has been done at Spartans? That is exactly the job of a council , to improve the lifes of the people who live in it.

Anyone who moans about this baffles me TBH.

The point is there are limited funds to invest. What facility exists in East or South of the city? Ainslie Park is 3.5miles from Saughton. There are Astro facilities at Saughton for youth football.

Personally I'd love to see every grass football area in Edinburgh turned in to regional multi-purpose centres but there is no money at council level.

I'll be pissed off if the council blow money on Saughton before they've fixed the potholes in our street.

[Since90+2]

What clubs in the east and south of the city have asked for upgraded facilities? I would be supportive of them getting them aswell.

Things like that should be what the council are doing instead of vanity projects like the Tram.

I'm looking to move into a bigger house, the rooms are a little poky and the central heating needs a kick now and then.

I can't quite afford to move, maybe i should have a word with the council, see if they'd like to throw a little money my way and help me out?

As per my previous post Spartans were given council funding and this had helped rejuvenate the community and improve the lives of local children. By your logic this should not have happened as local football clubs should not be helped by the council?

Your comparison with a little poky house is embarrassing and nonsensical.

Smart arse or not the idea that the state of a changing room is somehow detrimental to an amateur football team is preposterous. If the council are going to use funds for things like this its pitches and training material that should always come first.

Better facilities, better environment, better all round experience breeding better players, sides and coaches and generating better cash returns for the use of them.

Hardly preposterous.

[Brightside]

If they are giving them 100k the changing rooms will be last on the list. That's my point. Football at all levels has much bigger problems than whether the showers are warm.

[Iggy Pope]

I'm not arguing your point.
Pitches are the obvious priority.
You can have more than one priority. You can have several.

And use of the pitches and changing facilities never comes for free. That's my point.

[blackpoolhibs]

And still no answer to why a club that will be paying their players wages, should get council help?

[Since90+2]

Why should they not? It happened with Spartans and they have improved the community and got kids fitter and involved in a meaningful activity. Why should that not be the case?

The council also help charities who pay some of their staff. Should they also not be helped by the council or is it only community football clubs you have the issue with some staff being paid?

The council also help charities who pay some of their staff. Should they also not be helped by the council or is it only community football clubs you have the issue with some staff being paid?

As long as we get our fair share, then no problem. :confused:

Have Hibs ever approached the council with something looking for assistance on something that will help the community? If they have I would hope it would be looked upon kindly if it can help local residents.

What have Hibs asked for in this regard?

Absolute howler from Gordon in the Celtic game. Through ball, jumps like a starfish and right between his legs.

He's been honking in Europe this year.

Good finish from a tight angle after said howler though. Shame:greengrin

I hope not, tax payers money should never be made available for professional clubs.

I know , can you imagine the council helping a community club to improve local kids life's? I hope not as well. Sounds terrible.

To be honest I am glad my local council have the foresight to see past certain views , especially of those of old men with nothing better to do than troll on an Internet forum :wink:

Everyone's a troll who has a different opinion. :rolleyes:

Don't even mention that Hibs are currently playing in the equivalent of the Pub Leagues of England. That really brings the boil to surface.

Trolling - they don't know the meaning of the word.

I agree. If clubs have ambitions to move forward they should be funding it themselves.

No Griffiths.

[marinello59]

Troll.

I didn't realise I was agreeing with you. Can I change my mind? :greengrin

Spartans could not have what they achieved by self funding.

Boils down to a simple question, should they have been given money to achieve what they have done by the council or not?

I don't know anything about what funding Spartans received. How much was it and what was it for?
