Fanciful thinking but if by some slim chance any Aberdeen player is sent off tonight would that rule them out for Saturday or does the fact that it is different competitions make a difference?

Should have been a lot more comfortable thinking McInness would be raging after the draw. Had money on Utd Draw 1-0 down and Swansea draw 3-2 down but lost about £50 gambling on city. Also had a tenner on Q.o.s.. have £20 on Valencia to win just now as on a good streak but that’s the end for today 😂

The only reason Liverpool were big back in the day was ‘plastics’. Fake fans who had nothing to do with their chosen teams city and wanted a bit of glory...it’s not a new phenomenon and it’s been skewing things for years.

Look at the city of Liverpool and how big it is. They’re a club with a nice back story but they deserve nothing...like their Manchester equivalent.

I was at the game, in the city end. Newcastle were never in the game but took their chances when they came, city were too arrogant thinking 0-1 would do it. Paid the price. Its going to be difficult to catch Liverpool now, they need to lose 3 games and city need to win every game. Not looking very likely.

On side note, you have to climb 14 flights of stairs to reach the away end. What a view you get when you’re up there though!!

I was in the front balcony of what’s called the Leazes stand level 7 and it was really high up. Directly behind me was a walkway and another 25 rows or so. Being in the back row must be torture if you’re eyesight is not the best.

The Liverpool metropolitan area has a population of 2.24 million people. Administrative changes to boundaries over the years have skewed the figures, giving us a current Liverpool itself figure of .5 million or so.

I actually recall from my school days (geography)way back in the 1960s/early 70s, Liverpool having a population of some 750,000+.

Interestingly, wikipedia says that Liverpool's population peaked in the 1930s at 800,000+.

The point is that Liverpool has a "big" catchment area and is certainly no small town club.

I don’t think Newcastle looked very threatening but at 1-0 down they were always still in the game. It wasn’t pretty, but after the first 30 seconds they dealt with everything from Man City relatively easily.

I was in in the Gallowgate directly opposite you, with the slanted roof. What a noise in there! It really made me realise just how much atmosphere we’ve lost since the East terracing was brought down - where the sound used to almost feel trapped. Was absolutely electric.

[Hibeesmad]

Results like last night show why the Premier League can be a fantastic league. Huge motivation for Liverpool and Spurs tonight.

They aren’t a small town club but how many other places with football teams lie in this “big catchment area”? Teams like Southport, Chester and even Wrexham have suffered and went doon the swanny because people who live there pledge their allegiance to Liverpool. It shouldn’t matter if they had Shankley as manager or dominated Europe, that success should be for the people of Liverpool, not someone who doesn’t have the guts to support their local team.

The reason why I’m bothered is that we are victims of the same phenomenon. Hibs should be bigger but over the decades the idea that “we can support who we like” has been propagated so much that nobody bats an eyelid when a Leither “supports” Celtic, Rangers or even Liverpool. People call Man City’s status fake but it’s just as fake when your revenue stream comes from people in Norway, Australia or Africa who couldn’t find their way to the ground of the club they love if you dropped them in the middle of Stanley Park.

Not quite getting your point here, Liverpool weren't always a successful club, Bill Shankly took over and molded the success that made them so well liked and supported across the world, that's what brought the revenue stream in. Your comments about Norwegians in particular is miles off the mark, visit Liverpool city centre hotels and surrounding areas on match days and speak to many of the Scandinavian ST holders that spend an absolute fortune to watch Liverpool and certainly have no trouble finding there way around. Manchester City's success is purely based on a rich investor ploughing endless money into the club to buy their way to the title, there is absolutely no doubt about that. Chelsea started that route to the title and no doubt sometime in the future another massive investor will turn yet another small club like City into title winners and pump that much money in that allows them to dominate for a period before the next massive investor turns up. Who's turn will it be next.... maybe Spurs??

I’m sure that Liverpool’s didn’t enjoy all this support before Shankley came along and transformed them. Where did this extra support come from? People who want to attach themselves to a bit of glory. To me, it doesn’t matter if a Norwegian can find his way to the ground or travels every week and has a ST...he is a small part of a massive collective that has skewed the game in favour of a select few clubs. Why aren’t there plane loads of Danish people going to see Stockport or Carlisle? I know the answer but I don’t think it’s right. FFS we had a competitive game in Bulgaria (or somewhere like that) not that long ago where the home fans were outnumbered by Bulgarian Manchester United fans. There are videos on YouTube of stadiums in Australia which are packed with 60000 Liverpool fans crying while singing you’ll never walk alone!! It’s went too far.

I think it’s hilarious when people complain about City and Chelsea. They probably have some emotional attachment to a team from a city they have nothing to do with and can’t see the wood for the trees. There would be no need for this if the “big” clubs weren’t artificially bloated.

[Pete]

Aye, they don’t count because they’re Hibs fans right enough! If their local team is some diddy Scottish League 2 team and they instead choose to support Hibs are they not just doing the exact same?

There is no prize for someone like you, which is my point. Unlike the all the Liverpool, united and Celtic fans in your village you’re not a glory hunter.

I'm nominally from Longstone, I'm not sure if that's classed as bad as I should support the Hertz or a good because I don't support them. :wink:

In every sport people attach themselves to success. I like to watch boxing but have never been to a local event in my life. Give me a title event and a boxer with a high profile and success and I will follow him and even travel to attend. Small unsuccessful clubs like City and Chelsea bought their way into the top of the leagues and changed the face of the game by doing so. It’s happened now and we have to live with it but don’t ever try and tell me that their achievements in any way compare.

I don’t think I could ever convince you as you support one of the “big” clubs and are therefore bias. As a neutral, I can see that a trophy is a trophy and belittling the achievement of others won’t benefit me in any way.

Admit it, if you were Chesterfield Hibby from Chesterfield who supported Chesterfield (which you would, ‘cos you’re a good egg) you would agree with everything I’ve said on this thread. ;-)

You don’t think there’s benefits to supporting a club like Hibs over Edinburgh city? It may not exactly be glory hunting, but considering how little Liverpool actually win anything, it’s the same principle.

I think with Liverpool it’s more to do with what they have won in the past and the potential they possess. On the other hand, you won’t find many Hibs fans bragging about how many trophies we’ve won.

[Scouse Hibee]

I don’t think I could ever convince you as you support one of the “big” clubs and are therefore bias. As a neutral, I can see that a trophy is a trophy and belittling the achievement of others won’t benefit me in any way.

Admit it, if you were Chesterfield Hibby from Chesterfield who supported Chesterfield (which you would, ‘cos you’re a good egg) you would agree with everything I’ve said on this thread. ;-)

I don’t think I would agree, if I was Chesterfield Hibby you could class me as a glory hunter for switching to Hibs 😁

To be fair, if Liverpool do win the league this year then it will be some achievement. They don’t have the budget of others around them and have lost some great players over the last few years so if they can hold on it will be right up there.

Have they got the bottle to see it through though? Leicester up tonight and Vardy likes a goal or two against your lot.

My kids are fourth generation Hibbies born and raised in Alloa. I was born and brought up in Alloa, my mother and uncles, all Hibbies born and brought up in Alloa and the man who started it all, my Grandfather was born and brought up in Turrif. After 2016 I think we can be classed as Glory hunters. None of the long line of Hibbies in my family have ever lived in or near Edinburgh

Exactly what my lad said to me earlier, I'm taking the stance that if we lose we still have that four point cushion, any more points gained over City tonight will be a huge bonus :greengrin

Liverpool 1-0 after 2 minutes.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1 0 Scousers - Mane

[Pete]

Cowdenbeath 0. Sevco 2.

[hibsbollah]

Dismal from Leicester really. 1-0 down and they're still basically playing 460. Leveins latent influence no doubt.

[heretoday]

Leicester just missed a Gary Glitter.

Goal Foxes.

Blue Brazil score from a penalty. Saved by goalie and score the rebound

[Smartie]

Liverpool are a cracking club, and that's from someone with no links to the area or emotional ties to them.

They dominated at a time when fans through the gate counted more than anything so I don't really see where this glory hunting nonsense comes from, other than being from fans of the likes of Chelsea and City who envy their history.

They've maintained their big support throughout some pretty lean years.

And I remember that when Liverpool were dominating there was still a level of respect for Man United who were going through a lean spell at the time but were still considered to be a big club.

I used to love when City were getting 30,000 fans a week in the third division. Now they're just another Man United only with less fans.

1-0 Celtic

2 - 0 Celtic. Good for us.

St Johnstone are rank rotten!!

[hibsbollah]

Liverpool looking really ropey at the back.

[heretoday]

St Johnstone are rank rotten!!

Maybe their manager would fancy a bigger club?

[Scouse Hibee]

Penalty all day long.

[JeMeSouviens]

Penalty all day long.

Stonewaller. Stood on his foot. Mcmanananananam dribbling about “slight contact”.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Penalty all day long.

I thought so. Fans are flapping a bit - imagine the atmosphere if the season goes to the wire!

[Scouse Hibee]

That will do, the gap between us and City increases.

[SJNB Hibby]

That will do, the gap between us and City increases.

Spurs back in it?:hmmm:

[Pete]

Bournemouth 4 Chelsea 0. WTF?

[Hermit Crab]

Chelsea destroyed tonight and Liverpool fail to take full advantage of citys loss last night. City still in it.

[Hibeesmad]

Liverpool and Man City think it’s a two way fight. Both starting to feel the pressure.

Pochettino playing down all pressure to get that message across his team.

Spurs now only 2 points behind City and 7 points behind Liverpool.

Don’t rule them out yet 😉

[Ringothedog]

2 - 0 Celtic. Good for us.

That result was the most important of the night, opens up the door to the top 6 ever so slightly.

[Hibeesmad]

They play them again on Sunday. Hibs win on Saturday would put us 2 points behind with better goal difference 👍

Nah not for me, it’s Liverpool’s to lose. A far better midweek than I imagined.
