tonights games

[blackpoolhibs]

AEK looking like they could be bankrupt with the amount of flares going off behind the goal.

It also looks like they have a new ground from the one we played at.

[hibee_girl]

Aek 1-0

[lord bunberry]

1-0 aek.

[guthrie01]

Yass come on AEK, score a few more please

[HibbyAndy]

AEK 1-0 get in !!

[blackpoolhibs]

Hehehehe

[GlesgaeHibby]

Celtic are all over the shop at the back. Lustig is a truly terrible footballer. Never understood why Celtic persist with him, looks pish any time I've seen him.

[hibsbollah]

Maybe because I've been listening to lots of English slagging Scottish football recently, I'm actually wanting the Lesser Greens to win here. Not my usual position at all.

[Sir David Gray]

Yeah it is. The stadium we played at was demolished in 2003.

He was a very good full back for a number of years.

It needed demolished, ****hole of a place.

Celtic's defence is rotten, Brown looks past it and Ntcham is stinking.

Want them to get to group stage as we pick up a few quid, then get slaughtered.

[bingo70]

Think I’d rather Celtic went through tonight.

If they get a pumping it could cause more unrest with Rodgers.

[Hibernian Verse]

Ntcham is a really good player. He's been immense so far this season. We could do with an Ntcham!

[Stevie Reid]

Same here. Think they're out though.

[Stuart93]

It's okay, they'll sign john mcginn on a pre contract in January

[J-C]

Ntcham is a really good player. He's been immense so far this season. We could do with an Ntcham!

Opinions eh! he looks all over the place tonight, I honestly think this is the most ordinary Celtic team I've seen in years.

[blackpoolhibs]

:agree: Was it £3m they paid for him, and they had the cheek to offer the peanuts they did for McGinn?

They deserve all they get.

[Hibs4185]

Usually I’d be wanting to Celtic to win in order to help the coefficient and blah blah, but after their shenanigans with Mcginn and their supporters attitude towards us, I hope they get pumped.

[Hibernian Verse]

:agree: Was it £3m they paid for him, and they had the cheek to offer the peanuts they did for McGinn?

I think you guys are confusing him with Kouassi who was £3m and is utterly *****.

Nope, he's pish too

[blackpoolhibs]

Ah :greengrin Although this guy in midfield tonight is hardly in SJM's class from what i've seen tonight or in the first game?

[ian cruise]

I find these games win win for me.

Celtic win - better coefficient and money for Scottish football.

Celtic lose - f'n hilarious.

Same applies to their blue pals and Jambos in Europe. Ultimately its Hibs results I really care about.

[hibsbollah]

Simonovic loves a misplaced pass :faf:

[Stevie Reid]

Rodgers would look like a total *****bag if he walked away from Celtic with Gerrard arriving on the scene.

Celtic look a million miles from where they were though. And BR looks far from happy.

[bingo70]

:agree: Was it £3m they paid for him, and they had the cheek to offer the peanuts they did for McGinn?

They deserve all they get.

£4.5m for him I think.

Don’t see it myself. Think he’s pish.

Nearly 1-1 Griffiths inches wide.

No presence or personality in the Celtic team at all. Well and truly lost their mojo it would seem.

[H18 SFR]

Scouting at Queens Park vs Ayr, I will supply my usual Shankland report to .net...he starts on the bench.

[Onion]

AEK look ordinary. LG should have scored. Celtic going to win this.

[Glory Lurker]

Anything that limits Celtic’s finances is good for Scottish football, so it’s ‘mon AEK for me.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Hope Celtic lose heavily. Arrogant, entitled muppets the lot of them.

[Sir David Gray]

Hearts young team losing 1-0 to Ross County in the Irn Bru Cup.

[adhibs]

Same for me. Starting to fear lossing Lennon with there current problems.

[hibsbollah]

I don't watch much Scottish football that doesn't involve Hibs, so I've never really noticed simonovic as a player. Is he normally as bad as last week against the yams and again tonight? He's got the control of an Eastern European Colin Murdoch.

[Sir David Gray]

Looks like Scott Brown's met his match. :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Half time 1-0 AEK Athens

[SRHibs]

They’re playing like they’re 3-0 up. No urgency at all.

[JohnMcM]

Looks like Scott Brown's met his match. :greengrin

Also looks like Broony's legs might be going. Either that or he's carrying that old hip injury?

By the way, what the hell does "He is carrot" and "We are a shampooing it" mean? As seen on KDS.

:flag:

[Curried]

Most satisfying.

[Thecat23]

Couldn’t care less if they are a Scottish side, I want Celtic out. Sick to the back teeth of these arrogant pricks gaining a huge financial advantage then offer sweets for the best Scottish players.

**** Celtic and **** Lawwell.

[Wull]

If thats the goal that knocks the tic oot o the CL, they will be spewin, the worst defensive display I seen in a long time, Paul Hanlon would walk into that team anyday :greengrin

It's not worth going over again don't worry. There was another thread from someone saying the game was on and the comment was made then it very quickly got very silly (as seems to be the trend this summer!) I assumed your post was in reference to that.

[Famous Fiver]

They would be first picks for me.

[Sir David Gray]

Sevco U20s 0-2 Falkirk

[Onion]

Celtic losing tonight changes nothing in Scotland, they will still have £millions more than us. What it would do is increase the risk of us losing Lennon, which would be a disaster for Hibs.

Dislike Celtic as much as the next, but I love the Hibs even more .. so it’s come on Celtic and Rogers.

Really glad to see that he had more ambition and go down to Villa (ignoring the fact he's on the bench against Yeovil Town).

Not out with the realms of possibility, but as I said earlier, would look awful if he did when it looks like they'll get a decent challenge this season - not to mention Steven Gerrard arriving at Rangers.

Not especially bothered one way or the other about them exiting the Champions League but what does my head in is that they will now automatically get a Europa League play-off spot.

Grealish is a great young player. He seems to want away from Villa but a central midfield with SJM and Grealish in it will be pretty useful in a highly competitive Championship league.

To be fair, four qualifiers despite being Scottish Champions is a joke IMO.

Aye, it's not a genuine Champions League anymore - as close to a 4 country cartel as UEFA are able to get away with. The Scottish Champions (and champions of every country) should have one automatic place in the groups, and the coefficient should kick in thereafter. But of course UEFA know this and aren't interested.

100% spot on.

[madhatter]

Never understood why (like ourselves), Celtic play a weird shape in midfield. This 3-4 central players then Forrest wide right seems strange, do they not have a player that can play wide left? Same with us until this season with Boyle wide right and then everyone else in the centre. Leaves huge gaps for them and puts a lot of onus on Tierney, similarly puts pressure on Stevenson for us.

[Sir David Gray]

Yeah, got that, but would one of them have been seeded in the third round draw? Would much have preferred one of them to Molde!

Ah right sorry, I've got you now.

Suduva and Spartaks were part of the Champions Path of the Europa League which means they were both initially in the Champions League qualifiers and dropped down into the Europa League. Funnily enough they were both knocked out by Red Star Belgrade in successive rounds.

Neither of them have a co-efficiency as high as Molde.

When we have been playing Boyle wide on the right, it’s a right wing back position with Lewis doing the same on the left. I think that’s what Celtc do with Forrest and Tierney playing the wing back roles

[EricStoner]

Have to say it irks me to look at the clubs which still have to win another tie to make the Champions League, never mind some that are out.
Ajax, Dinamo Kiev, Benfica, Red Star & Dinamo Zagreb used to win stuff in Europe. AEK & PAOK were always a test and I suppose Salzburg, BATE and Videoton have come into money to some extent.
Spartak, Celtic, Fenerbahce, Standard & Malmö were also decent at times in the good old days.
To think Brian Glanville called the English Premier "The Greed Is Good League" in its early days.

[Dashing Bob S]

No sympathy with those tight arsed muppets and their once smug but now paranoid fans. They shell out big money on uncommitted and mediocre players when they could have had a class act who gives his all for little more than a song.

Ok, no-one official from Septic said anything derogative about SJM but their axxe-hole 'Best supporters in the world' were here, there and everywhere telling the world that SJM 'wasn't good enough for Septic'/'Squad-player at best' along with the belter -'We'll get him for nowt come January so Hibs are f*****d if they don't give him to us now' !. If the powers-that-be at 'Darkheid' had actually bothered to read any of his past interviews they'd also have cottoned-on to the fact that, apart from being a top-quality player, SJM is also very ambitous and that he was more than happy at Hibs because he was wanted (and loved) here ! If Lawell & Co don't think modern-day footballers don't read fan-sites then they're bigger axxe-holes than their support !

The rules is the rules.

And there are reasons for them.doesn't mean you have to agree to them. I agree with GB. totally mucked up what used to be a fair system, and you must agree with that, surely.

[monktonharp]

all about mutually agreed components I suppose :greengrin

They'll be wanting rid of Jack Hendry for a start.


still a baffling signing..imo

He was a threat to them in the league so they signed. Been doing it for years.

[houstonhibbee]

Slightly worried that might be true - and then they come calling for Lennon.

It's taken the shine off one of my usually favourite moments of every season.


Do you think he would go? Run the risk of it not working out there when he has great relationships at Eater rd? And if Rodgers does go is it a great opportunity to become immortal with Hibs and win the league???

[bingo70]

In what way was he a threat to them? Without checking I’m guessing they finished about 40/50 points ahead of Dundee and probably beat them every time they played them?

[Steve20]

Amazes me still that people wanted Celtic to win. Clearly nothing to do with coefficients as they wouldn’t be wanting Rangers or Hearts winning.

[Scouse Hibee]

Did they sing “ The fields of Athens cry”

[madhatter]

When we have been playing Boyle wide on the right, it’s a right wing back position with Lewis doing the same on the left. I think that’s what Celtc do with Forrest and Tierney playing the wing back roles

Pretty sure I’ve seen Celtic play Forrest in front of Lustig. Similarly I’ve seen Efe or Whittaker played at right back with Boyle in front (although that has stopped now, haven’t seen that since last season).

Even with playing them at wing backs, it’s just a wee bit strange that they are retained within the team even when the position doesn’t quite suit them.

They could have bought just over half a John McGinn for that amount.

[Jim44]

Seeing Celtic getting horsed is a double-edged sword. The pleasure we get is marred by the untold joy it gives the Ibrox muppets.

[Sylar]

Pleased they're out of the Champions League - it means they won't have their bank balances ballooned once more, but can continue to contribute toward improving the coefficient.

I find it risible that they're pissing and whining about "lack of investment" being a key reason they haven't qualified. Perhaps now they have an idea of what it's like for the rest of Scottish Football trying to keep pace with their finances! But I'd rather we are where we are than take the sectarian pound and use that to build an empire of bigotry, smugness and paranoia :thumbsup:

Ok, I'll rephrase that. He probably played well every time they played Celtic so they signed hm.

Rather annoying article here, albeit the bits explaining the split of the money are quite interesting:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45190227

The whole tone is that Celtic have 'lost' money - which is nonsense. Obviously going out has prevented them from earning a lot more, but they haven't lost money as they aren't worse of than they were yesterday. This line in particular bugged me:

"That is £11m gone already. But the haemorrhaging does not stop there."

Haemorrhaging?! They're ****ing minted.

Also, what's the issue here? It should be about them missing out on the prestige and huge games that come with the group stages, had they got there - why does the extra money not coming in matter? In European terms, they had lots of revenue from the CL group stages in the last two years, and haven't used it to try and be more competitive in the tournament. In Scottish terms, they still have way more money than the rest of the teams put together and multiplied several times over, so no real problems there.

Means we’ll get a reduced payment from UEFA too, although we’ve done quite well ourselves
Anyone remember what we got last season from UEFA

Because it is their main team. They're just playing the youths.

Bit misleading if you wanted to bet large on Dundee utd thinking they were playing against a colts team when in actual fact they are playing there colts also
