Juventus vs Real Madrid - CL Final

[yonder1875]

Go on then, who wins?

Juve for me (hopefully!).

[HFCdeb]

Hoping Juve.

[offshorehibby]

My moneys on Juve for tonight had a fany for them since 1/4's

[frazeHFC]

Hoping for Juve. Would love to see Buffon win it!

Very good team so I think they have a good chance, although my money would still be on Real.

Free on BT for anyone without a subscription.

[sauzeelegod]

Hope Juve win tonight, would love to see Buffon win it

[wookie70]

Who cares, I can't think of the last time I even watched a European game on the TV unless Hibs were involved.

[Diclonius]

Fed up with the Champions League, especially this year given the final is between two odious clubs: the perennial establishment team and proven systematic cheaters. Hope there's a mass player riot and no one gets the trophy.

[Hibbyradge]

Who cares, I can't think of the last time I even watched a European game on the TV unless Hibs were involved.

Around 200 million TV viewers care.

[easty]

You know what I hate about the champions league final. That you get to watch some of the worlds best players playing against each other. I prefer watching crap, in comparison, footballers.

There's too much money in the champions league. Why can't they all just play with trees for goalposts and no pay?

I'll miss the game as I'm at a wedding tonight, but I'll definitely be watching it tomorrow. Some of the chat about how rubbish and boring it is, is rubbish and boring itself.

Hope Juve win. Love Buffon, he's cool as ****.

[hfc rd]

I'm wanting Juve to win.

[Dashing Bob S]

I'm with you. Only way to spice up the competition. The CL feels like a Conservative Party lead in the polls. Always with us, but uninspiring, depressing and constantly whispering into our ears "is this really the best we can do?"

[WhileTheChief..]

Forgot all about it!

Hoping for a Juve win. I've seen a lot of them on BT this season and they're impressive.

Getting boring seeing Real win it so often.

[wookie70]

Around 200 million TV viewers care.

It would be fascinating to see a breakdown on who watches, who they support and if they attend games regularly.

[Baader]

For those who do want to see it, mind it's free to watch on Freeview, Sky and Virgin tonight. Also being steamed live on YouTube.

[GordonHFC]

You've had a WHAT !!!!!

[18Hibee75]

Love Juve, have a bet on them to win and made it at the start of tournie. Would be nice to see Buffon win the champions league and for real Madrid to not. 1-1 and a Juve win on pens for me!

[SteveHFC]

Juve to win 3-2.

[PeeJay]

Just hope it's a decent game and doesn't need to go to penalties to find a winner - no real preference as to who wins, would be a great "end" to Buffon's career though ...

[ekhibee]

This.

[Col2]

Got 40-1 on real winning 3-2 which I though was decent.

[B.H.F.C]

Juve on penalties. Script is written for Buffon.

[GreenLake]

I would like to see Juventus win as Real were lucky to win last years final.

Which Freeview channel is showing it?

[21.05.2016]

Would like to see Juve win it for Buffon but I have money on Real :greengrin

[Roxyhibee]

The most bloated, self-serving, anti football, pro elitist tournament ever.

So I genuinely couldn't couldn't give a flying f, but our pals' laddie is a Juve fan and Buffon is his hero. (real Italian family) He paid £1300 for a ticket and is going. He's also a Hibby and a good guy, so I want them to win for him.

I'll catch the result on the news later tonight.

[Lost_Mackem]

Going to attempt to not find out the score till the the highlights are on ITV later on tonight, hopefully Juventus win it for Buffon more than anything.

[brianmc]

I hope all the people who can't be bothered watching the final of uefa's tournament - as it's nothing but cynical corporate cash cow for the simple purpose of raising squillions of euros - have the same outlook next week..... When a mere qualifying game for FIFA's equivalent cash cow tournament rolls into town.
Guess they won't be watching that game either??

Personally I'll be watching both.

[frazeHFC]

It would be fascinating to see a breakdown on who watches, who they support and if they attend games regularly.

I'd imagine pretty much everyone I know that goes to Hibs games home and away will be tuned in for it. I'm looking forward to it but I agree that it's a bunch of overpaid jessies and I would take watching Hibs v Alloa over it any day!

[Onceinawhile]

Going to attempt to not find out the score till the the highlights are on ITV later on tonight, hopefully Juventus win it for Buffon more than anything.

It's on virgin and sky for free. So you dont need to avoid the score. 414 on sky.

I'll be watching a re-run of the Alloa v Brechin match instead.

I'll watch it only because it justifies a free pass to the pub :wink:

[Hibs90]

Will it be in HD freeview? seem to remember this being an issue before

[Thecat23]

£10 on 2-1 each team.
£10 on Ronaldo to score a header as well.

Think this could be very tight though.

[Sir David Gray]

Will it be in HD freeview? seem to remember this being an issue before

No. If you don't subscribe to BT Sports, you'll only be able to watch it in SD.

[Hibs90]

No. If you don't subscribe to BT Sports, you'll only be able to watch it in SD.

YouTube it is

[Baader]

No. If you don't subscribe to BT Sports, you'll only be able to watch it in SD.

There is a Showcase HD but I'm not sure if it's showing on it. Might need to retune your box to find it.

[Carheenlea]

A few of us meeting up in the pub to watch on TV. Not seen any Champions League games this season, but don't require much arm twisting to go out for a few pints. Not sure who I'd like to win, so will be viewing as a complete neutral.

You sir are a legend.

[erin go bragh]

That's a very impressive stadium Wales have . Looks even better with the roof closed . Makes our national stadium look pretty amateurish.

Whys the roof closed?

Never mind the so called pre match entertainment, let's get this show on the road.

Just when ye're ready of course!

[Forever_Green93]

The 4K stream on youtube looks fantastic.

Hopefully Juve win tonight.

[emerald green]

I wouldn't want a club with a disgraceful past history of cheating - Juventus - to win anything, let alone the Champions League.

[pontius pilate]

Well I've gone for btts juve win 11/2 might as well

[Hibs Class]

Decent open game so far.

[GreenLake]

Ronaldo delivers

[Off the bar]

Good goal, he's an utter bawbag but ronaldo is some player

[Billy Whizz]

Brilliant team goal, great finish

[Glory Lurker]

Giving it the Andy Hallidays there.

[Lago]

Decent open game so far.
It is, good quick passing, excellent ball control & played mainly on the ground, then Ronald scores.

[Hibs Class]

There was a deflection, but I thought Buffon left a huge part of his goal exposed

[GreenLake]

Goal!!! Mandzukic

[Sir David Gray]

1-1 Mandzukic outstanding goal.

[hibsbollah]

There was a deflection, but I thought Buffon left a huge part of his goal exposed

Without the deflection he had it covered. Just unlucky, although the buildup was very good. Juve have the players to come back from this though.

[telford hibbee]

Great goal game on

[Lago]

Say what you like folks, but this is some game & that was some goal:agree:

[Off the bar]

Yessssss even better some game this now

[Dashing Bob S]

Rocky would have got a hand to that.

[SteveHFC]

Take a bow Mandzukic

[MWHIBBIES]

There was a deflection, but I thought Buffon left a huge part of his goal exposedNae wonder keepers don't last at Easter Road if we criticise for that. :greengrin

He had it easily without a massive deflection.

[Scorrie]

What a goal. Cmon Juventus

[hibsbollah]

What an absolute belter. In a game this big as well.
How good is Dybala by the way?

[660]

What an absolute belter. In a game this big as well.

Great player and still very young. Lots to come from him.

[Glory Lurker]

Feeling we've got options if Jason goes.

[cabbageandribs1875]

tell yi right now, that marcello couldn't lace lewis stevensons boots





p.s. Ronaldo has looked at the TV screen 26 times to see if he's on it

[Lago]

What an absolute belter. In a game this big as well.
How good is Dybala by the way?
Dybala absolutely outstanding. Where is he from?

[hfc rd]

Dybala absolutely outstanding. Where is he from?


Argentina. Signed from Palermo two seasons ago

[Dashing Bob S]

What a goal. Cmon Juventus

Cole Stockton class

[frazeHFC]

Remember seeing Dybala in a game for Palermo when he had just joined. Could tell he was going to be something special, great player.

[Off the bar]

Anyone else on YouTube getting a jerky feed now?

[Lago]

Anyone else on YouTube getting a jerky feed now?
Yip gave up & went to BT show case.

[cabbageandribs1875]

oooer

[Glory Lurker]

McManaman co-comming reminds me that Jonathan Woodgate played for Real. I've just stopped laughing at that.

[Lago]

Some player, also at the other end of the age scale Dani Alvez having a good game.

Is that online anywhere? No telly in chez off the bar currently so need to stream this one. First 40 minutes were fine but last 5 have been pish

[linlithgowhibbie]

Loving the way every pass is controlled, none of this bouncing 6 feet away .

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Mandzukic goal better than Zidanes? :dunno:

Discuss...

[Onceinawhile]

Mandzukic goal better than Zidanes? :dunno:

Nope.

[Mon Dieu4]

Mandzukic goal better than Zidanes? :dunno:

No, both great goals but zidanes was dropping out the sky and he used his weaker foot

[Dashing Bob S]

McManaman co-comming reminds me that Jonathan Woodgate played for Real. I've just stopped laughing at that.

That's worth a wee chuckle.

[Pete]

Jack Hamilton would have saved them both.

[hibsbollah]

He was a tremendous defender.

[Scorrie]

Who?!

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

:greengrin Jack Hamilton will be upside down behind a bar in Ibiza...

[Off the bar]

Real looking the better side

[Off the bar]

Another good goal, Rocky would have saved it thu

[Off the bar]

Massive deflection

[MWHIBBIES]

I wish Hibs had half the luck Real Madrid do. 2 massively deflected goals

[cabbageandribs1875]

bet365 can give me my £95 sweet ones now i think

[Off the bar]

Game over 3-1 Madrid

[tamig]

Got 40-1 on real winning 3-2 which I though was decent.

Another from Juve and you're laughing 😄

[cabbageandribs1875]

more likely to be 4-1 than 3-2 me thinks, although 3-2 does sound nice

[guthrie01]

Ronaldo is a born winner, best in the world right now

[Dashing Bob S]

Amazing how many successful teams start well, give the other side most of the first half, then finish the half strongly, before upping their game in the second half.

I dislike Real Madrid though.

[hibsbollah]

This flatters Real massively IMO.

[cabbageandribs1875]

swanson Allan Modric sjm

[Onceinawhile]

This flatters Real massively IMO.

Disagree. Juve haven't turned up in this half. Navas hasn't got his gloves dirty yet.

[hfc rd]

This flatters Real massively IMO.


1st half yes, but 2nd half they have been well on top. I don't think Juve even had a sniff at goals in this 2nd half.

[Heisenberg]

Dybala has chucked it here. Such awful body language about him.

[OxoHibby]

more likely to be 4-1 than 3-2 me thinks, although 3-2 does sound nice

3-2to win a cup does have a ring about it

[Golden Bear]

Juve started the game well but I can put a full stop in here.
Real are the much more enterprising team and merit their lead.

[Off the bar]

This flatters Real massively IMO.

RM are very hard to like I'd agree, but they're much the better side second half, Juve have not turned up second half

[cabbageandribs1875]

RM should take their keeper off, they don't need him now

[lord bunberry]

It's been a bit of a disappointment in the second half. Juve haven't been at the races at all.

[Scottie]

RM are very hard to like I'd agree, but they're much the better side second half, Juve have not turned up second half
Easy to win things and be the best when your bank rolled by the Spanish government :wink:

[hfc rd]

That's a shocking red. Ramos has got him sent off.

[cabbageandribs1875]

poor show by Ramos

[Scorrie]

Ramos a cheat there.

[tamig]

Outrageous from Ramos there. Very poor.

[Off the bar]

Kyle Lafferty would be proud of a dive and roll around like that

[Sir David Gray]

If there's a more odious football player than Sergio Ramos I've yet to meet him.

Absolute disgrace.

[Dashing Bob S]

Easy win for Fascists versus Cheats.

[Dashing Bob S]

If there's a more odious football player than Sergio Ramos I've yet to meet him.

Absolute disgrace.

Ian Halliday

[hibsbollah]

RM are very hard to like I'd agree, but they're much the better side second half, Juve have not turned up second half

Cuadrado sent off for nothing.

The way Juve play they soak up pressure and take their chances. Tonight they've had the best of the first, Real have the best of the second but only one team's taken their chances. Ive heardly heard Dybalas name second half.

[Glory Lurker]

Bored now.

[Billy Whizz]

All that is bad about football, he should have walked for cheating

Cannae argue with that one.

[hfc rd]

4-1

[Mon Dieu4]

Pepe

[cabbageandribs1875]

i should have put a pound on

[Off the bar]

a huge well done RM, from my............


http://rs717.pbsrc.com/albums/ww173/prestonjjrtr/Smileys/MoneyWalletFlies.gif~c200 kerching

[Golden Bear]

Very deserved winners regardless of the winning margin.

[greenpaper55]

Switched off after that sending off, if that's the way football is going and the beaks do nothing about it then the game has become a joke that i don't want to watch.

[Pete]

Richest club in the world steamrollers its way to the big prize. Again.

How romantic.

[Off the bar]

No pitch invasion? ****in amateurs

[cabbageandribs1875]

pmsl when players put their hands over the mouth when they talk to each other :greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

Ramos with a big green flag wrapped around him :flag: think it said YLT ya bass on the back

[Sir David Gray]

Pepe

Very close second but Ramos takes the biscuit.

[Haymaker]

Ronaldo never does it in the big games though.

[cabbageandribs1875]

so tomorrow, juniors SC final

Auchinleck(honest) 11/10 v Glenafton 8/5


or


Hamilton Ladies 18/1 v Hibernian Ladies 1/50 :eek:

[Golden Bear]

I'd just like to conclude with:-

Hibernian 2, Real Madrid 0.

(a couple of years ago certainly)

[3pm]

I can't stand Real.

[silverhibee]

Hopefully just fireworks at fanzone in Turin, looks like a lot of injuries but that could be down to a fans stampede as they run away from allegedly hearing explosions.

[iwasthere1972]

That's a bit strong. Most of the top teams are at it most of the time. At least with Real you get scintillating football as well.

[18Hibee75]

As much as I dislike the man, and it pains me to say it, but Ronaldo is the best in the world. Messi is unbelievable and we should be happy that we are in a time when we get to see both these players playing in their prime.

Disgusting? I'm a Real Fan like my dad and a Hibs Fan . They are no more disgusting as any other rich club but at least they aren't owned by some billionaire who rocks up and rip the soul out the club. Real like Barca are cooperatives with members and no single owner

And as for playing up did you not see the Juve boys at it all night like Jamie Walker?

[660]

People clapping when their team scores a goal in the champions league final gives me the boak. It doesn't mean enough.

You do realise, like the Man Utd Europa final, most of the tickets will be corporate? You can guarantee that Real or Juve scoring in the final would gain more than a clap from the actual fans who travelled to support them tonight.

[overdrive]

Could they not have got someone a bit less biased than McManaman to commentate? Listening you him, you'd be forgiven if you thought you'd tuned into Real Madrid TV.

[Crazyhorse]

Easy win for Fascists versus Cheats.

Agree. Anyone who knows anything about these two odious outfits would concur. Their financial dealings/political machinations are enough to sicken anyone concerned with a level playing field in football - they make the dead Huns look like small fry cheats.

What has that got to do with anything?

Madrid are a rotten club, so are Barca. No time for either. Their diving and playacting is only a part of that.

I didn't see any Juventus players diving to get opponents sent off, no.

I do dislike him, and think Messi is slightly above Ronaldo, but I completely agree we're fortunate to see them both in their prime. I firmly believe that both have spurred the other on to greater heights, without each other neither would be as good.

Question!
Has anyone ever seen five better goals scored in any cup final than last night ?
A word on the Ref
Considering it was , I beleieve, his first major " assignment" I thought he controlled things really well
Great entertainment for us neutrals !!!

They're different types of player in my opinion. So I get bored with the constant Who's Greatest argument. Briefly, Messi slips them through and Ronnie smacks them in.

What they share is an unbelievable amount of goals.

[Frank Moon]

This fascist thing about Real gets on my goat. My family were on the opposite side during the Spanish Cival War and we support Real.

Ramos. One of the nastiest footballers in the world, IMO.

I don't think Cuadrado did anything more than put his hand on Ramos's back as he went to get the ball for the throw-in. It was about the most blatant piece of cheating I've ever seen.

Actually - BT had the cameras on a group of fairly muscular guys in black T-shirts with "NAB" across the chest supporting Juve.

"NAB" stands for "Nucleo Armato Biancanero" and they're serious hard men with dubious political allegiances. They apparently now call themselves "Nucleo 1985" in memory of something or other that happend in Belgium that year. Not nice people.

Check out the front row below (the guys behind are the foot-soldiers, I guess).

I guess just about any football team can attract unsavoury elements to their support. Even Hibs?

Aye, so he never dived did he? You're making out like he did a swan dive. Bare in mind it was right in front of linesman so he saw exactly what happened.

Ramos. One of the nastiest footballers in the world, IMO.

Aw diddums. He went down and rolled about as if he had been shot. total pussy!! Hard man my arse, one of the most pathetic things I've seen in a game.

Undoubtedly Sergio Ramos is a jobby but he is some player.one of the greatest defenders?

Multiple Champions League wins, 2 European Championships, World Cup winner and much more. He must be terrible.

Multiple Champions League wins, 2 European Championships, World Cup winner and much more. He must be terrible.I didn't say that. He is an incredible athlete, a good defender and unbeatable in the air. He still couldn't lace the boots of the real great defenders.

As I said, no great defender gets 22 red cards. 22 times he has been sent off, just think about that.

Plenty of 'the greats' couldn't get near his medal collection though.

He's a prick aye. But in terms of defending he has to be up there. Guarantee a high number of those reds are no reflection on his defensive abilities at all and have just been him smashing someone in a nothing area of the pitch, probably when they are losing.

Djimi Traore has more Champions leagues than Maradona, Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic together. Most of the greats (Nesta, Baresi, Cannavaro, Maldini, Puyol, Beckenbauer, Costacurta etc) can all compete with his medal collection.

That is a reflection of his defending ability. Running out of position and smashing someone is terrible defending. Just my opinion but he isn't close to being up there is terms of defending. Wouldn't even have him top 5 in the world right now based on defending.

I've seen enough of Ramos to say that he is an excellent defender, but also a cynical dirty SOB which explains the red cards.
