Some fans need a break almost as much as the players. Time to refresh and thaw out and get ready to go in a couple of weeks. Personally I'm happy with the rest as December was quite a month. :agree:

Much as I love watching Hibs I always start to look forward to the summer break and doing other things. Same for me now we have a winter break again.

Down south at the girlfriends parents this weekend, got a mates birthday day/night out next weekend then football back after that.

The Blue Brazil against Edinburghs second finest, both in mega form. Brave man, Ive heard the pies and Bovril are fair though, personally Im in the gym with half an eye on the SSN monitor.

Here's a summary. Lost 1-0
Lewis was fantastic, ref was crap. Hibs dominated but were disappointing in final third. Willem scored with only shot at goal. Fans great. 😂

Down and back on the same day so, not really worth the extra couple of train journeys to Blackpool (been there and done that as I'm sure Blackpool Hibs will confirm). Usually stay in Preston when going to Hammers games in the North West so, I've got a decent idea where to go. Used to enjoy The Northern Soul nights in Hartleys about 10-15 years ago, pub changed for the worse a while ago though.

I might log into hibs tv and watch the last nine derbies.
I'm hoping we don't lose any as that'll put a dampener on the winter break😎😎

Decent first half at the Bangor Fuels Arena. Ards leading 2 1 and Crumlin star are down to ten after a straght red for a fairly brutal assault.

Haha, thankfully not. Took an executive decision as it was freezing, up against top of the league, and my son was dropped to the bench :greengrin
Pissed me off as in their last game they beat Gala for the first time in over 50 years
Accies are strolling the league so it was always going to be a very long afternoon.
Massive game in a fortnight at Stu Mel which will go a long way to deciding relegation places , but very confident Burgh will still be in League 1 next season as 4 teams are battling to avoid the drop
Falkirk are already doomed

Still miss the fitba though !

Don’t see the point of the ‘winter’ break,

Weeks are missed where games would be playable and dreadful weather is as likely in March as it is in January. If we have postponed games later on the missed January weeks lead to fixture congestion in May.

As for the players some teams might need a rest and some are just hitting momentum. Those who are playing well quite often come back and are sluggish with momentum lost. Those which perhaps have tired or injured players are just as likely to lose injured players to injury (a la David Gray) as they are to get players back, raring to go.

As for the fans, speaking for myself, I hate weeks when there isn’t a game. bad enough International breaks without self inflicted 3 week breaks. January is depressing enough without the football being off.

Scrap it, it’s a nonsense.

Sounds like Maria has you doing some housework!!! Got your pinny on?
For what it's worth I do agree with you. Managers complain about players being tired, then fly them round the world, have double training sessions and then play two games in a week. Weather today is perfect but could be brutal in Feb

Went to Raith - Ayr United. Good game and a bit of fisticuffs too to make it interesting. Scott Robertson is still putting in a shift for Rovers and Liam Buchanan was non existent.

Pointless break as there is back to back midweek games. Games which some fans can't make and it's a school night for the kids and be to late for the younger ones.

God this is awful.

Struggling to care about the huge match of the day between Dundee United and Dunfermline or games between ropey English clubs with far more money than they should have.

Top teams in Scotland back ASAP please.

Was going to the Dumbarton FP v. Leven Scottish Amateur Cup replay, but it was postponed last night, so went to Pars v. Arabs. Not great and Pars should have won.
