Do they have any?

[Sir David Gray]

Possibly not a surprise considering they have lost 118 goals in their first 17 league matches!

[Diclonius]

Fort William regularly lose games this heavily, doubt it's anything unusual. I don't think they even play it recreationally over there, shinty is more popular as I recall?

I think that's why many hibs fans are disappointed. Hearts were beatable and we were toothless. Killie are just showing what a good team performance can get you.

No superstars. Not a team of Internationals. Just a good team performance.

Theoretically, yes - but Hearts starting line up today is much more attack minded and allowed Killie space - we had to match this whether you like it or not.

Had we not gone toe to toe, and lost to them, how would you feel?

Finished 13-0.

Fraserburgh scored 8 in the first third and 5 in the final third. At least Fort William had 30 odd minutes without conceding.

People will naturally try and ease the pain of last night by having a wee giggle at our arrogant neighbours who are in the process of toppling from their lofty perch.

We all know we’re not doing well ourselves. The two issues aren’t related. We can be critical of ourselves whilst also enjoying their predicament.

[Smartie]

[Hermit Crab]

Absolutely slamming the officials for ruling out a goal for offside that was onside it was 1-0 saints at the time, going on abut how the officials are poor and need help and that VAR is a must for the EPL.

It was actually hard to disagree with him.

[superfurryhibby]

Well you weren’t happy when we made it to second place:confused:

I think like most right minded Hibs fans I will reserve the right to enjoy our neighbours recent toils, life’s too short not to.

Also, Killies form puts into persepctive our own hard fought victory against one of the best sides in the League earlier this season.

Clarke has done a fantastic job with that club.

Of course it’s not alright.

The two issues aren’t related. Laughing at hearts doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten our own poor form, and choosing not to laugh at them won’t improve our league position.

It’s a short life, let people take whatever humour or satisfaction they can from it.

[Blaster]

We’ll finish above them. Plenty time

[Leith Green]

Laughing at they horrible *******s is always okay in my book.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Still like to laugh at Hearts though.

Yup. Their form being worse than ours and 6 and a half hours without a goal makes our pish form (slightly) more bearable. The way i see it is we've had 3 very tough away games one of which we played long spells with 10 men which are now out the way and looking at todays results St Johnstone have now won 5 in a row without conceding. Maybe they're just a good side that were better than us last week. We're at home to Dundee next, great opportunity to get back on track.

[Leith Green]

Laughing at they horrible *******s is always okay in my book.

And although things aren’t exactly great for us at the moment , we can laugh long and hard at they clowns who genuinely believed they were title contenders. They are absolutely deluded and quite rightly a laughing stock

Watford were also denied a stonewall penalty. It actually defies belief that the penalty wasn’t given. The goal that was disallowed was even more bizarre. The ref had an absolute shocker.

If Celtc go top tomorrow and stay there till the end of the season, will there be some sort of playoff between them and the October champions to decide who gets a shot at next season's CL? Or will the biased SFA just give the benefit to the Glasgow Ogres, as usual?

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Great to have such a competitive league, we (like much of the league) are a couple of wins from being in really good position.

[Lancs Harp]

1-1 in Dortmund, Penalty equaliser for Dortmund, what on earth Neuer was doing in giving the penalty away, he couldn't have gone down any slower.

Beautiful backheeled touch from Lewandowski, correctly ruled out.

Back to Sancho, did anyone notice his defending? Great clearance late on, robbed and took the pish out of Ribery, on top of those ridiculous skills. He's different, like Mbappe as someone said earlier. 3-2 ft, Dortmund got a decent lead now.

[StevesFamau5]

That's the best game I've seen in ages. Sancho is a star in the making.

[Wilson]

Decent second half at least.

What an absolute brilliant game! Thoroughly enjoyed that.

Sancho is unreal. Real special talent. Cannot believe Man City let him leave on a free. Him and Mbappe are the two best teenage talents in Europe.

Fraserburgh scored 8 in the first third and 5 in the final third. At least Fort William had 30 odd minutes without conceding.

Super J McG.

Goal, assist and 80 odd per cent of Villa fans voting him Man of the Match vs 'Frank Lampard's Derby.'

Certainly doing the business.

What percentage is the sell on clause?

[Smartie]

Anyone watching the Napoli game?

It was delayed due to heavy rain earlier on.

Now they're back playing the pitch isn't exactly running as it usually does, but it's still quite a funny, watchable game.

I think the worst part is how many points we could have picked up and been right up there coupled with this two week break now to make matters right. Nobody would have predicted our position coming back from the last international break - quite the opposite in fact it was an amazing chance to really build something.

I'm not comparing that to the current team at all but let's not kid ourselves here...none of us thought we'd be 8th after 12 matches?? It's nowhere near good enough and hopefully the players and manager sort this and fast

We were second a few weeks ago. We're going through a bad patch, but I'm confident we are better than eighth in this league. It's very tight and can change quickly; we won't finish second or eighth, of that I'm certain.

:agree:

We were second a few weeks ago. We're going through a bad patch, but I'm confident we are better than eighth in this league. It's very tight and can change quickly; we won't finish second or eighth, of that I'm certain.Agree with this tbh...only problem I have at present is I don't think we are top 4 material at the moment mate?? We need Scott Allan and another striker in Jan to be possibly top 4 contenders imo

I take it you read my post. I laid out the worst and best case scenarios.

You led with the worst case scenario, said Hibs could surprise us, then said that isnt looking likely !!

Might as well change your user name to The Rev I M Jolly mate.........

[SirDavidsNapper]

Tell you what though, lose to Dundee then we've got a very hard away game at Kilmarnock. Could be very worrying in 3 weeks time, then again Hibs might surprise us all and pick up 6 points although the latter is not looking the likely outcome just now is it.

If we lose to Dundee I'll be astounded not to mention extremely worried.

True, we definitely need a creative midfielder of the Allan ilk and another forward, to push on a level. The last transfer window didn't result in our getting everyone Lennon wanted, as he's said, and we lost a superb midfield, meaning we need to make do for now. Having a bad spell has exposed those deficiencies, so the players we have must now put that right. Allan would be a great signing and, hopefully, can happen, as there's no future for him at Celtic. He would be a huge boost.

[matty_f]

It can be equally as naive being a so called "Happy clapper" and just burying your head in sand too. Remember 2014 and our slide to the drop..just 1 more win and we will be safe??

I'm not comparing that to the current team at all but let's not kid ourselves here...none of us thought we'd be 8th after 12 matches?? It's nowhere near good enough and hopefully the players and manager sort this and fast

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

We're five points off fifth with a game fewer played than St Johnstone - nobody is pretending it's a great situation or burying they're head in the sand but I think the team and the manager have shown that the current form isn't our 'business as usual' standard.

We all laughed at Hearts talking about winning the league in September yet were fine thinking we're headed for a bottom six finish just a few weeks later.

It's not naive to ask people to keep a semblance of a sense of perspective.

Chelsea 0-0 FT. Pish game.

[green day]

Chelsea match similar to Celtic game - only one side trying to play football, "diddy" team park the bus, no attempt to play football, only ambition to hit on the break.

Both ended 0-0, plaudits will go to Livingston and Everton - but jesus they are a hard watch, no ambition, massive amount of fouling, and (for me) its not football.

It was like watching Hibs under Williamson.

And before anyone says it, I know Livi beat us and are currently ahead of us, but its undeniable that its awful to watch.

Point is it is so so simple to bring out nappy pant wetter chat at a fair enough post. Could they finish above us based on the start of the season and the pitch they have to their advantage? Of course they could. You think they would care how they done it? Not a hope. Oh and they also sacked their manager 2 games in.

Jose’s last game. Pogbas told him to bolt. Have a random feeling Rashford and Fellani will save his bacon having been ripped to shreds by him all the time. Utd need a change though they are brutal, one dimensional and whoever is in charge of their recruitment in managers is shocking.

We will probably be above them in two weeks time, but I was thinking more about February before I start getting worried (i.e. about half the season played)? Thats a bit more sensible than one round of fixtures, surely?

We probably will yes, it’s not improbably we will finish below them though based on results this season.

There was nothing in the game for more than the first half hour.

It’s a franchise and their stadium is a tourist destination or somewhere for businesses to take their clients.

Obviously there are many exceptions to that and I’m sure there are plenty passionate Citeh fans, overall though, that’s my perception of Manchester City.
