Today's games

[Diclonius]

Set out with my partner down to Stenhousemuir's stadium today (15 min walk) as my "wee" team (Arbroath) were playing, got stuck in a massive queue as they had decided in their infinite wisdom to only open one turnstile. Waited for approx 15 mins and hearing that we were missing two Arbroath goals gave up and went home. Gutted.

[The 90+2]

Dick Campbell doing some job up there.

Fine result for The Hammers in the early game! Hammers 🔨

The Austrian boy I’m never going to try and spell looks like he wants away though which is a big blow. Who was the boy before in the transfer window who thought he was away to Portsmouth or somewhere and told Sky onlynfor it to fall through?

Might as well take the dough and sign someone else in the summer, if he can get 200k a week in China then good luck to him.

A John Rankin just scored for Clyde---THE John Rankin?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Games are going into injury time, none of the teams on my coupon have scored, don't think that's happened to me before! 🤬

[Barney McGrew]

A John Rankin just scored for Clyde---THE John Rankin?

:agree:

[JimBHibees]

Think he also helps coaching one of the Hearts younger teams.

It wasn't ideal having a break after the City defeat, but thats a seven point lead again.

Chelsea 1-0 up, Geordies spiralling towards relegation

That’s the one 👍

villa 3-0 down now

Absolutely skelped by a Wigan team with Joe Garner, Josh Windass and Cedric Kipre in the starting XI.

[Lancs Harp]

Night in bottle of wine about to have its corked popped, Bologna v Juve Coppa Italia (BT3) on later.

Looking at some of the Villa forums SJM absolved of any blame. Regarded as their best performer.

[hfc rd]

I wonder if SJM will still be there next season if a very good offer from someone like Bournemouth or Brighton came in for him? Can’t see Villa getting promoted this season as they have been far too inconsistent this season.

[Heckys Wheel]

Looking at some of the Villa forums SJM absolved of any blame. Regarded as their best performer.

Watched most of their televised games this season and he’s been a standout for them in almost all of them.

Early season they weren’t scoring but as soon as Abraham hit a bit of form, their defense started shipping goals for fun.

They’re still in the mix so if they could find a bit of consistency and put a run together, they’d be right up there. Could probably say that about three quarters of that league though to be fair.

[silverhibee]

Man Utd take the lead against Spurs.

[green day]

Man Utd take the lead against Spurs.

Some pass by Pogba

[silverhibee]

Some pass by Pogba

:agree: a beezer

[Elephant Stone]

Robbie Keane is not a great pundit

[Here’s Lucy!]

Man.United are going to finish 4th at worst.

Looking good for six wins out of six for wee Ole, and what a player Pogba is becoming now that The Arrogant One has gone to the great mirror in Lisbon.

:greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Is it too late for Manchester Utd to put in a title challenge!?

[Haymaker]

:agree: a beezer

Not sure about the decision from Trippier, passing inside to player with a defender between... still, what a ball,touch and finish from Rashford.

[Here’s Lucy!]

Is it too late for Manchester Utd to put in a title challenge!?

Probably, but hopefully not.

[Sir David Gray]

Probably, but hopefully not.

It was slightly tongue in cheek as I don't think they're going to make up 16 points plus goal difference on Liverpool but what a transformation in the last month.

Solskjaer's worked wonders there so far and if he gets them into the top 4 he should get the job permanently.

[blackpoolhibs]

I think its a good thing that villa are struggling, clubs will see the quality he has, and there's more chance he will get a transfer to a better club if they are still in the championship.

[Hibbyradge]

It's a good game.

United look like a different team.

[Sir David Gray]

What a game David de Gea's having.

[Scouse Hibee]

Absolutely, David.

At this rate of improvement, 4th place is a very distinct possibility.

[Sir David Gray]

😂😂😂😂

If they can beat your mob next month to help deny you the title then that will be good enough for me this season. :wink:

[HH81]

What a game David de Gea's having.

That's the only difference at present. The spurs keeper should have saved the manchester goal.

[Scouse Hibee]

If Utd hold on great to see 9 point gap between first and third.

[Scouse Hibee]

If they can beat your mob next month to help deny you the title then that will be good enough for me this season. :wink:

Liverpool losing another game won’t deny them the title 😁

[hibsbollah]

De Gea is the best keeper since Buffon was in his prime. One man team?

[Scouse Hibee]

What a game David de Gea's having.

Gary Neville thinks they’ve all been too close to him and poor finishing.

[Sir David Gray]

Liverpool losing another game won’t deny them the title 😁

It will help though.

Squeaky bum time if it gets that close, remember Demba Ba....:greengrin

[Here’s Lucy!]

Can't believe how good De Gea is.

[Scouse Hibee]

It will help though.

Squeaky bum time if it gets that close, remember Demba Ba....:greengrin

Nah folk said that when City beat us.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Great result for Utd. Can Ole get the job permanently???

[Hibernia&Alba]

Much more like the old United: getting the ball forward quickly and creating chances. Spurs are a good side and came on strong second half, de Gea making some top saves. United still need a centre back to replace the atrocious Jones and Smalling, but have the makings of a very good side. Pleasing.

[Diclonius]

Robbie Keane is not a great pundit

That's a shame, because apparently he has always dreamed of being a pundit ever since he was a wee lad.

[Michael]

United are winning every game and still only 6th. Shows how awful they were under Mourinho really.

[Famous Fiver]

Buffon in his prime?

I remember when Dino Zoff was in his prime. We stuck five past him.

[Pete]

United making the fight for fifth place very interesting.

[Sir David Gray]

United are winning every game and still only 6th. Shows how awful they were under Mourinho really.

They are but they are on the verge of overtaking Arsenal and Chelsea and Tottenham aren't too far ahead now either.

In the past 5 games they have made up the following number of points on the teams above them;

Liverpool - 3
Manchester City - 9 (6 if Manchester City win tomorrow)
Tottenham - 6
Chelsea - 5
Arsenal - 8

I dunno but they are booing every touch their own team makes at the moment, which isn't helping.

On this evidence there's no way Monaco are getting relegated. Fabregas having a good game.

Very strange atmosphere at Marseille, almost hostile to their own team and even being supportive of Monaco, who considering their problems so far this season have played very well.

[hibsbollah]

They want rid of Garcia at any cost. He's so conservative, needing a win tonight and he plays no recognised striker.

When Thauvin scored that goal (wrongly overturned by VAR, ridiculous) I think Thauvin is angry at the fans as he celebrates.

[hibsbollah]

Definitely a case of using VAR because it's there, even when it's blatantly unjustified. Shocking decision.

Ah, it's just about that time of year for Newcastle's seasonal improbably early exit from the FA Cup!

Seriously, you think we're bad? We at least made Hampden once every few years in our century of not winning. Newcastle barely make it past the first round.

The Toon have got an awful FA Cup record. The last time they made the Quarter Finals (Round 6) was back in 2005/06. Since then they've won a total of 5 games in the FA cup..

VAR rules goal offside

[we are hibs]

Danny Murphy is a moron. It was the correct decision. What's the problem?

[worcesterhibby]

The problem is he was offside by 2” the game was stopped, no one knows what was happening, it’s **** for the viewer...sport isn’t about 100% correct decisions it’s about excitement.

plus Danny Murphy once gave me call of the day on the Jim White show on talk sport so I got £100 wickes voucher ! So he is obviously very clever

[green day]

Danny Murphy is a moron. It was the correct decision. What's the problem?

Because VAR is only supposed to be brought into play for clear and obvious cockups.

Mind you it was waghorn, so no complaints here 😂

[we are hibs]

Doesn't matter how much he was offside by. If you're off then you're off. It was about a minute. Hardly an age.

[we are hibs]

Because VAR is only supposed to be brought into play for clear and obvious cockups.

Mind you it was waghorn, so no complaints here 😂

Whats not clear and obvious about that though? He was offside.It's there to stop errors and it has done.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

VAR brought in to stop having decisions made like the one just made using VAR.

[worcesterhibby]

it’s not obviously offside, the defenders shoulder is playing him onside..spoiling the game, hate it.

[green day]

It's turning fitba into gridiron. Quite glad we don't have it, to be honest.

So am I. Imagine Shaw's goal had counted or we got that handball in the play offs against falkirk. I would've been raging at having to wait a minute to find out.

[Caversham Green]

None of the Southampton players thought it was offside. No-one would have complained about that goal being allowed. Instead, we had a couple of minutes of nothing happening, followed by a bland decision and the game goes flat again.

The way VAR is currently being used sucks the excitement out of the moment.

[we are hibs]

His foot is ahead of the Southampton players shoulder.

they got the offside decision wrong..all the pundits in the studio agreed. It doesn’t work..just spoils the game.

[worcesterhibby]

His foot is ahead of the Southampton players shoulder.

no it’s not, impossible to tell for sure. Admit it.

[we are hibs]

What part of the Southampton player is playing the derby player on?

Well I mean they blatantly didn't but OK

If that’s clear and obvious i’m Sydney Divine. It’s bollox

[Caversham Green]

Possibly his shoulder. The Southampton player thought he was onside and he was closest to the event.

[worcesterhibby]

hid shoulder...you know more about football than Alan Shearer then ?

[Keyser Sauzee]

Looks to be a terrible crowd at Southampton.

[stantonhibby]

If anything the defenders right hand/arm looks pretty much level with Waghorns. Certainly not clear and obvious.

[green day]

Offsides don't need to be clear and obvious. If you're offside then that's that.

Offsides don't need to be clear and obvious. You're either on or off. There isn't a debate about it. And he's off.

[we are hibs]

Possibly his shoulder. The Southampton player thought he was onside and he was closest to the event.

His shoulder is in line with the yellow line.

[worcesterhibby]

Thats clearly not true in this case..I look at the picture and he looks onside..shearer thinks so too and Lineker...

[we are hibs]

You don't need to have played football or be an apparent "expert" to know if someone is offside or not 🤡

[hibsbollah]

Lots of people know more than wor Alan.

[worcesterhibby]

His shoulder is in line with the yellow line.

No it isn’t and the angle is deceptive because his shoulder is higher than the attackers foot.

[Caversham Green]

His shoulder is in line with the yellow line.

You think so, I don't - I think the very tip of his shoulder is closer to the goal than Waghorn's foot. So did the Southampton player, and everyone else in the stadium. And a dull game just got a bit duller.

This is not a proper use of VAR IMHO.

[worcesterhibby]

”We are Hibs” isn’t one of them

How do you know what the Southampton player is thinking? It's actually irrelevant because no one in a stadium could see a deliberate handball and VAR could give it. That's the whole point of VAR to get the correct decisions.

[Steve20]

VAR kills emotion from the game. Spoils celebrating goals and still can’t get every decision right. Attending games will be horrible if this comes in up here.

Let’s kill the exciting part of the game. Oh good.

[flash]

If he thought Waghorn was offside he would have claimed for it but he didn't - nobody disputed the ref's original decision. A deliberate handball is a completely different scenario and is the sort of thing that would be a proper use of VAR, not a decision so marginal that half a dozen people looking at the same pictures can't agree on whether it was correct or not.
