Hibs V Dundee

[Brightside]

Oh and Stokes was very lucky not to be sent off.

[gando]

Cannot agree he 100% should be wearing a poppy or not playing today if he doesn’t want to.

Forget any historical or political reasons etc it’s a respect thing foremost and just think how the west coast media will spin it. Not a big deal if he doesn’t feel he can wear it he gets the day off.

Anybody representing Hibs should be wearing it simple as that.
Just my opinion of course.

That time of year again is it?

[jacomo]

I think Poppy nazis should **** off. Just shows there are lots of different opinions on a football club and there is no room for fundamentalists.

Off topic but bang on.

Millions died for our freedom - including the freedom of conscience and whether to wear a poppy or not.

[Onceinawhile]

So to summarise:

Hibs won 2-1
Stevenson should gtf / is fantastic
Paggers at the Alhambra bar
Numerous people don't understand the offside rule.
Poppy debate.

Can we clarify what the rule is?

Murray is offside in the Dundee half, but runs back and touches the ball in his own half.

Is the free-kick taken from the spot where he was offside, when the pass to him was played, or was the referee actually correct to allow the free-kick to be taken from the spot in our half where the ball was eventually touched by Murray?

Excellent Summary!
Incidentally, as a soldier I believe that wearing a poppy has to be optional.

Nonsense. Only Hearts players and fans should be allowed to wear poppies. They won two world wars. Others shouldn’t be allowed to jump on their sacrifice bandwagon.

Never will I wear anything related to the Earl of Haig! Poppies? FFS! My old fella was a war hero and never once wore a poppy. I know why!

[gazzag70]

Wearing a Poppy is a personal choice. Everyone is entitled to an opinion whether to wear one, or not,I choose to wear one but don’t hold it against anyone who doesn’t .I don’t think it is an issue that should affect your support of your club!

[staunchhibby]

Stokes was extremely lucky to be only yellow card for his below the belt hit out.

My dad was in aircrew during the last war and did the maximum number of ops allowed. He always refused to wear one even though he was a member of the British Legion. It was because of the name Haig on them.

Murray is in an offside position in the Dundee half but not yet offside as he is not active at that point. He runs into his half becoming active and is therefore now coming from an offside position. When he becomes active that is when the offside offence occurs and he is in the Hibs half at that point. The free kick was taken in the correct position. It never fails to amaze me how little football fans and players know about the rules of the game. Simon Murray didn't seem to know either and could easily have been booked for his lack of knowledge.

Exactly! Not a well thought of leader.

my old fella was allied forces (Polish) part of the team who liberated Auschwitz.

[ancient hibee]

No, I'm sure that's wrong. The free kick is taken from where the player is offside. The furthest forward a free kick can be taken for ourselves is just inside your own half.

The referee actually signaled to Murray that the foul was for using his arms to turn the defender, but I think that was after he realised he'd made an arse of the free kick being taken in our half.


Totally wrong but don't worry it's very confusing. :greengrin

[Nameless]

Hibs looked jaded today. The international break has come at the perfect time. 4 games in 14 days has taken it's toll, in seasons gone by we would have lost that game today.

Your absolutely right on a personal level do as you please however when your representing the club I feel it’s expected to wear one and show respect. Hibs after all send a poppy wreath yearly showing respect I see it just as an extension of that.

Yes. We get that's your view...but you seem to believe other people aren't allowed to make their own choice about it...

Get over it

anyone know why we didn't have a minutes silence today ?:confused: fwiw i've not worn a poppy for many years, though i do donate, but we really should have had a minutes silence to show our respects

The clown held his hand up to indicate an indirect free kick. Either that or it's a new Masonic sign!!!

The vast majority of fans don't wear Poppies so why would you expect the team to wear one. Personally I think the fans reps should see what the support feels. I am for a dignified silence if we play on remembrance weekend and that is it. I don't want us wearing poppy strips but would have no issue with players choosing to wear a poppy armband but only on the Remembrance Weekend fixture. I may be in the minority though but will never know until asked.

Why do we only wear poppies at home. Do we only remember at Easter Road and not bother in Kilmarnock or Motherwell. It makes no sense to me and given as it is an International weekend on remembrance weekend then the Scotland team could have shown respect on behalf of Scottish football.

‘cos all this chat is a week early.

We should be complaining about flares and fireworks in the stadium instead.

Appears that some folk can’t read a calendar :wink:

Why? I'm more than capable of showing respect on Remembrance Sunday...not sure why we really should have done so on the 4th November.

Stokes and Stevenson have been unreal in the 2nd half.

He was culpable for the 1st goal and wasn't at it first half, but agree PB ... he was great second half, he put in a few last ditch superb tackle and worked his ass off up and down the line trying to help Stokes.

Just delighted to get the 2 points today. Another sign the "old fragile Hibs" are maybe disappearing in the rear view mirror?

The Celtic game had one.

[ValleyHibee]

Very important win,especially with the sheep & m/well dropping points,was expecting a tough game due to the position they are in,teriffic start,then after they scored struggled for a bit,build up slow and they stopped our midfield dominating,2nd half much improved due to the sustitutions and SJM being more effective,Hanlon outstanding,even popping up on the left wing,where he caused them problems,Rocky one save (stunning) & that was it from them,a deserved win.

[Golden Bear]

Seriously, is this the match day thread? If so, we've hit a new low, especially after such a hard fought win.

[Famous Fiver]

Explain the two points bit to me please.

Can't remember when it went up to three for a win but it was a while ago:greengrin

John McGinn's 5th booking of the season today in a league game, does that incur a ban?

Ref was correct for pretty much the only time in the game.

We were talking about this at the game yesterday. Thought he'd had a fair few and would be approaching a ban?

[hibee_girl]

We were saying that too but I think it might be 6 for a ban :dunno:

[B.H.F.C]

Might be wrong but I think it is 6 bookings for a ban these days. Either way, he'll have to sit a game out in the not too distant future. Lot of big games coming up in December (Huns, Sheep, Celtic and Hearts) so hopefully it's none of them.
