Today's games

[Spike Mandela]

Collum bottles a red card for Halliday almost immediately.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Could have been a red in the third minute. I think it being so early saved him.

I hope Celtc win this. Anyone but Sevco.

[Billy Whizz]

Collum bottles a red card for Halliday almost immediately.

If this was later in the game, he was off.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Got a wager on a red card for Garner.

[calumhibee1]

Should have been off, if Roberts never got out the way of it he would have had his leg broken.

[hibee_girl]

1-0 Celtic

[Sir David Gray]

1-0 Celtic McGregor

[Spike Mandela]

What a goal. Please, please , please a cricket score.:greengrin

[XXIVMMXVI]

Great finish there

[660]

7-0 Celtic please

[Glory Lurker]

I think it's a bit off, the ref letting the game go ahead when only one team's managed to make it to Hampden on time.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Ha ha ha Huns

[givescotlandfreedom]

I kind of want Celtc to go through because I don't think there's a hope we'd have beaten them in the final

[Hibernia&Alba]

Rangers chasing shadows so far.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

This.
Well, this and the fact I hate their opponents

[Iggy Pope]

Sean South getting a right old airing today.

[Pretty Boy]

Celtic could score 10 here.

I know praising Celtic is frowned upon by some but they are a good team to watch. Good to see a core of talented young Scottish players on show in Tierney, Armstrong and McGregor as well. That has to be good for Scotland if you can get those 3 plus Gordon and possibly Griffiths as a core to build around if they are playing well together every week.

[Billy Whizz]

I never want Rangers to win, regardless of who they are playing

[emerald green]

Celtic are miles ahead of Aberdeen, The Rangers, Hibs (being honest), and everyone else in Scotland right now. Hope it's a cricket score today.

They will go on to beat what I thought was a fairly ordinary Aberdeen team yesterday in the final. Hibs should/could have beat Aberdeen yesterday, but we beat ourselves. Plus lady luck deserted Hibs, yet again, at Hampden (their 3rd goal).

[Glory Lurker]

:hyper

[Tom Hart RIP]

No Hendo on the bench

[Hibernia&Alba]

Sparky coming on for injured Dembele. Hat trick please :greengrin

[XXIVMMXVI]

Rangers still unable to defend corners properly. Pleasing.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Six red cards, pitch invasion would do for me.

[SlickShoes]

Rangers are dire, long may their troubles continue. I dislike them that much it's even ok (not good) seeing hearts beat them.

[makaveli1875]

just saw the halliday 'booking' . Thats a horrific challenge , 3rd minute or not thats a red card

[hibsbollah]

Roberts getting the crap kicked out of him

[Pretty Boy]

That Beerman should be off. Shocker of a 1st challenge to get booked then a deliberate trip 2 minutes later.

Collum has totally bottled it twice now. Another ref who should be nowhere near such a big game.

[jonny]

What are Celtic singing to the tune of our now retired 'here we go, 2 in a row' song?

[Borderhibbie76]

They were singing it before us too unfortunately.

[sleeping giant]

The the's have hardly touched the ball in this first half.


Hoping for a cricket score.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Pretty poor game?

[SlickShoes]

It's not great is it, fairly dull

[Hibernia&Alba]

Rangers will be happy to get off at 1-0 and now re-group. It's never over at 1-0.

[stantonhibby]

Ah, but you have to ref this game differently don't you know

[Green Reaper]

Lots of possession and nice football for celtc but little in the way of chances. Huns can hardly get forward as celtc controlling midfield and closing down the spaces. Huns winning 7-0 on fouls ☺

[Sir David Gray]

2-0 Sinclair penalty

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Tavernier saves his very best for Hampden it must be said

[Joe6-2]

Walker just said, a two goal advantage is huge in a semi final, twat!

[Pretty Boy]

Are Tavernier and Waghorn really arguing that wasn't a penalty? If you had to direct a stonewaller for a film you would come up with that!

Tavernier should be questioning where his goalkeeper was for the initial long ball imo.

[Onceinawhile]

Tavernier saves his very best for Hampden it must be said

Don't think he was in the same postcode as the ball when he made the tackle.

[rotherhamrob]

Ha ha I see tavernier is still pi**.

[Onceinawhile]

What a touch by sparky

[Quarters]

How many pairs of eyes?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Rangers have been fouling very cynically and will do well to keep eleven players on.

[Scouse Hibee]

How many pairs of eyes?

Hahaha 3 people equals six pairs of eyes!!

[Sir David Gray]

Aberdeen have no chance if Celtic play like this in the final.

[wookie70]

Celtc are like a cat playing with a mouse. The gulf in class is huge.

[18Hibee75]

Could have been a red in the third minute. I think it being so early saved him.

I hope Celtc win this. Anyone but Sevco.
I agree with you about it being so early but I have never understood that sort of unwritten rule that a bad tackle early on in the game will not see a red when one later on in the game would.

No chance we would have beat Celtic if we had got to the final. They have Leigh Griffiths on the bench , a guy who would be the best player at the club for any other team in the country.

There's always a chance in a one off game, but you have to say it's a very slim chance against a side that hasn't lost a domestic match all season.

[Hibs90]

This is an awful watch. In other news, this forum has been reeking of yam since yesterday, look at the threads fs :rolleyes:

[Since90+2]

Calum McGregor is a very underrated player. He is always available for a pass , never loses possession and is technically very good.

Should be in the Scotland squad.

[hibsbollah]

Life long Villa fan Agbonlahor scores in the Brum derby, 1-0 Villa.

[Hibernia&Alba]

How many games undefeated will Celtic be after this, and what's the all time record in Scotland?

[Glory Lurker]

The game is getting a bit boring.

[Sir David Gray]

42 domestic matches undefeated.

I don't know what the record is.

[Spike Mandela]

Waghorn is ****ing brutal :faf:

Griffiths hasn't looked great since coming on.

Maybe he needs game time at another club....

[Hibernia&Alba]

:aok:

[Spike Mandela]

At least we put up a fight in our semi final.:cb

[Glory Lurker]

Sigh. I wish we'd got drawn against The Rangers now. We'd be in the final.

[erin go bragh]

Worse Old firm game ever?

Not from where I was sitting. I am pretty sure it was just 'When the Celts... etc.'

Which is a shame, as that would have been quite funny.

Hibs would have beaten them easy today. They are so, so, bad.

[magpie1892]

Worse Old firm game ever?

It wasn't bad - Celtc played some decent stuff. Certainly up there in terms of most one-sided. A real 2-0 thrashing.

[Sir David Gray]

When the Celts go up to lift the Scottish Cup we'll be there.

Manchester Utd players wearing training tops with Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo on the back during their warm up today.

I've got to say that's pathetic - they're injured for a few weeks not dead!

Did they not both get pretty serious cruciate ligament injuries?

I don't know much about it but I have to say that when I heard that 35 year old Ibrahimovic had suffered a cruciate ligament injury that that wouldn't be injury that would be brushed off easily.

I agree that it is a strange gesture though.

I just said the same. Nice gesture showing support for their team mates and all that but seems a bit over the top IMO. As you say, their injured not dead.

Burnley 0-1 Man United

Yeah fair enough it doesn't sound like a nice injury but things like that happen in football and they'll both recover. It isn't life threatening.

Football really has a strange grasp on reality when it comes to things like this, it's pathetic.

And I say that as someone who has Manchester Utd leanings.

Met a couple of London Hibs supporters last night in Platform 5 who were getting bus back at 11pm to go Wembley for Arsenal. Great effort from them to support their teams.

Initially I'd thought the same but then I wondered. If, for example Lewis Stevenson and Jason Cummings both got cruciate ligament injuries in their last match and our players wore tops with their names on it.... would we see it as a nice touch or pathetic?

Nah I would hope we would stay away from that sort of thing to be honest.

If a player had been seriously injured that their life was in danger or they had died then by all means do that kind of thing. Otherwise I think it's cringeworthy.

You'd hope your players would stay away from showing support to team mates who could be out for up to 9 months?

Fair enough each to their own - personally I'd see it as a nice touch

[Sir David Gray]

Players putting the names of team mates on the back of training tops just because they're injured is a nonsense IMO.

You don't have to agree.

[Wilson]

You show support by visiting them when they're in rehab from their injury. Asking them how they are doing. Meaningful contributions of time and thought. Overblown gestures? Not for me.

Liverpool have just lost at home to Crystal Palace as well - very pleasing! :greengrin

[Pete]

He's been in charge of the biggest boys in the league wherever else he's been so it's going to be a bit more difficult over here.

He'll get it right eventually though which will be bad news for the others.

[Billy Whizz]

Benteke scores a double, as Palace beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield. Boy I hate any team that big Sam manages, to get results

He will need to vastly improve that defence and goalkeeping situation. That's their biggest weakness and has cost them dearly. Bravo, Caballero, Sagna, Clichy, Kolarov, Otamendi are simply not good enough. Zabaleta has aged and doesn't have the pace no longer to get up and down the right flank. Navas has been playing RB for them just now and he's an attacking RW. Only decent defender they have is Kompany and he's injury prone. Stones for £49M is just insane. I'm not going to write him off just yet as he might become good but whenever I've watched him, he just looks very shaky and nervous.

[hibs#1]

Halliday is a horrific player.

Maybe I'm being daft but that doesn't make sense.

If united win the UEFA cup and finish third there will be one less team in the tournament? That would throw it all out surely.

Surely someone, somewhere has to get that space.

[blackpoolhibs]

Can see the emptyhad being even more empty now they are out of everything. Moneybags will need a real clearout if they are to compete with the big clubs in the future.

[hibbysam]

No, the country gets an additional place, up to a maximum of 5 entries per country. Not sure what happens to the space vacated by united if they finished in the top 4 and won the EL. It would leave one space empty.

Messi will always be a step a head of Ronaldo, Messi has pure talent - born with it and isn't human. Ronaldo is a brilliant player and has worked very very hard to get to where he is now, but he's just not quite got that final piece of quality that Messi does. I have seen Maradona and Messi both play and think Messi is just as good, if not better than Maradona.
