Liverpool friendly @ Murrayfield

[Scouse Hibee]

Wow …. That's the walk up price for a Hibs Cat A game and the cut off point for me when arguments about Hibs pricing are on the go. I always defend Hibs on their general ST and walk up pricing, with the only time I agree its too high being the £28 for the Ugly sisters and Hearts.

If those prices are correct I'm not as worried about this game's effect as I was.

It’s actually £25 plus ticketmastet charges. Not cheap but I consider it decent value.

[Sir David Gray]

Cheapest £28, most expensive is £60 per ticket plus the £7 charge so £67 each for East Stand in pre sale just now.

That's disgraceful.

[McSwanky]

Aye, but you’ll get to see James Milner going through the motions. Worth every penny.

That's the spirit. Destroy your own point in one fell swoop by deliberately choosing one of the players that nobody will be going specifically to see! Top work.

Just got tickets for me and the family, should be a good wee evening. Hope you enjoy whatever you decide to do instead. Win win! :thumbsup:

[NAE NOOKIE]

It’s actually £25 plus ticketmastet charges. Not cheap but I consider it decent value.

Perhaps if it was a competitive match mate. But this is a friendly which by and large tend to be tepid affairs …. the worst, the very worst, football match I ever attended was Sporting Lisbon v Feyenoord in a pre season tournament at St James park years ago, even the ref looked like he was nodding off it was so boring :greengrin

[we are hibs]

I've no issue with the game being in Edinburgh but the pricing is awful.

If people want to be mugs and pay it then why wouldn't they charge high prices?

Why do you think they're charging so much? It sounds like the pricing levels have taken you by surprise - they were about what I would have expected. But I'm glad you're not so worried any more. :thumbsup:

Not a surprise mate, considering they are from a league where the fans have demonstrated about ticket prices.

I paid more for the Barcelona friendly at Wembley and this is literally on my doorstep with no travel or accommodation costs, suits me fine.

So you expected the ticket prices to be this high, and yet you were obviously really concerned about the effect this game would have on the Hibs support in the future. Then you heard what the ticket prices were, and you're not so worried any more?

Something doesn't add up!

[McSwanky]

Harsh on Milner.

Comedy genius, well done! :top marks

[pollution]

I have been dipping in and out with this thread so apologies if already asked: are Liverpool fans happy with this home game?

How many are prepared to travel??

Quite disrespectful to call fellow Hibs fans mugs, but you bash on.

They pricing levels are surprising because they are higher than the ticket prices for the same fixture in the Champions League last November at Anfield.

Adult prices for the Champions League Game started at £9, with the most expensive ticket being £59.

Well because I don't believe so many folk will be willing to pay that amount to watch Liverpool have a kick about … not sure what doesn't add up :greengrin And for the record I didn't 'expect' the ticket prices to be high, in fact I never mentioned the cost until it was confirmed a few posts ago, I'm just not that surprised that tickets are expensive for this.

£9 was a junior section price not an adult

"Adults: £9*-£59

*Local general sale price"

It literally tells you the prices if you follow the link. Regardless, the most expensive ticket for a decider to see if Liverpool progress in the Champions League is still cheaper than the most expensive for a friendly at Murrayfield.

I bet you half the folk at the Spice girls concert haven’t even seen them live let alone been to the places where they come from 😂

A load of wannabees.

I've seen both Liverpool and Napoil live albeit fifty years ago and that will do for me. If I have a favourite English team then it's Liverpool but I've got no desire to go and watch them in a friendly against an Italian team.

[HH81]

I was at a Liverpool friendly a couple of years back. It was £15.00 quid and I left early. shocking game.

Liverpool starting team was

1 Loris Karius
56 Connor Randall 45'
6 Dejan Lovren
21 Lucas Leiva (c) 67'
18 Alberto Moreno 67' 90'
35 Kevin Stewart
16 Marko Grujic 31' 45'
19 Sadio Mané 45'
53 Oviemuno Ejaria 45'
10 Philippe Coutinho 34' 45'
11 Roberto Firmino 45'

Not heard of half of them and was at the match :greengrin

May get a full kit and a half and half scarf for this game.

[iwasthere1972]

Take your car. I'll steal your hubcaps while your watching the game. Give you that real feeling of being a Liverpool fan. Maybe have a pizza while your waiting on the polis arriving.

[we are hibs]

Quite disrespectful to call fellow Hibs fans mugs, but you bash on.

You're right. I should've been more respectful and asked whether or not their kids would be happy to be in their company when attending. We can't all be like you, though.

[SteveHFC]

I’ll send the car registration details :aok:

You really need some new material.

It’s alloys now, hubcaps are worthless

[Scouse Hibee]

Taking my half and half Lpool/Hibs scarf to this game. Mighty even get my .net name on the back of my Liverpool shirt.

[southsider]

Has at the UEFA cup game at Anfield. Their fans were brutal. Picking on lone Hibs fans and raining bottles down on us. Hibs boys stood u to them . Have hated them ever since. Even became an Everton ‘fan’ because of that game. Went down to a few games in the Kevin Sheedy area. Wore a Hibs t-shirt and the Everton boys were magic.

[ronaldo7]

78 tickets purchased. We're taking our teams to the match. A wee day out for them.

Shameful really. If Hibs go under because of this game and the very real prospect of the theft of 90% of our fan base then there will be blood on Ronaldo7 and Liverpool’s hands. :agree:

Lets hope it doesn't trump Easter Road's record

[Bishop Hibee]

Other TV famous teams will do the same if this cash cow sells out.

Being fair, I think both clubs are famous for titles, cup wins, European trophies and the like before TV.

Tickets secured. Sitting above the Napoli fans. :aok:

[Sir David Gray]

I disagree.

Fair enough, I would say that paying up to £60 for a pre season bounce game is a complete rip off.

[HH81]

Fair enough, I would say that paying up to £60 for a pre season bounce game is a complete rip off.

It is a complete rip off but would you pay it if it was Man United v Liverpool at the same venue?

[calumhibee1]

Fair enough, I would say that paying up to £60 for a pre season bounce game is a complete rip off.

Or you could say that you’re paying as little as £28. £28 to watch the European Champions and third best side England has seen for god knows how long (possibly even ever?)

More than reasonable imo.

[danhibees1875]

Probably a good thing IMO.

[hibby6270]

Maybe it’s my age. Maybe I’m just stupid. Maybe I’m missing something that ‘Captain Obvious’ would soon point out to me. I can’t see what all the negativity is about this friendly taking place in Edinburgh.

One reason given is “it will lure young Hibs fans away from continuing to follow their local team”. Absolute codswallop.

I’ve supported Hibs as my team of choice since 1962.

Was my Scottish national patriotism changed when Engerlund won in ‘66? Of course it wasn’t.

Was my head turned in 1967 when Celtic became the first Scottish team to win the European Cup? Definitely not.

I will admit though that a year later, when Man Utd won the same trophy, they became my “English team” but I never for one minute considered giving in to the fact that I needed to follow European champions as my main first team.

Why then is it that so many on here believe that is what will happen to our young support on the back of a friendly game between 2 top European teams being played on our own doorstep?

Oh!! And btw, ‘ManU fan’ I may be, but first and foremost, I’m a fan of football.

So, yes, I’ve bought my tickets but I’ll still be at ER either side of my visit to Murrayfield for the Alloa, Arbroath LC games and oh yeah, the Newcastle game, after all, watching EPL teams in Edinburgh must surely be frowned upon eh??!! :wink::wink:

[neil7908]

A chance to see the best club team in the world, on my doorstep for £28? A no brainer.

I'm going with a Dunfermline fan, a Hearts fan and an Aussie. They might also go to a game or two at Easter Road with me but I've not been able to convert them into Hibees yet, not sure this game will make a difference.

[Scouse Hibee]

Fair enough, I would say that paying up to £60 for a pre season bounce game is a complete rip off.


I say the £28 I have paid represents good value for such an event.

[Steve-O]

I'm with those who wouldn't be going if I had the chance. Pre-season friendlies are rubbish regardless of who is playing.

I went to see Wellington Phoenix v Newcastle Utd here a few years back - 0-0 and utter guff. Newcastle had a strong team out too as I recall.

I really only enjoy football, or any sport now, when I feel that there's something important at stake.

Nowadays I'm only really interested in Hibs or a day oot, instead of watching every kick of a ball on TV.

It would be stretching it a bit to call this a day oot.

I won't be there.

You have chosen wisely not to buy a ticket in that case.

I respect the choices of those whose football spectating experience criteria are met by this game and have chosen to buy a ticket, and I find the storm surrounding the game peculiar.

[Since452]

Imagine the record attendance for a football game in Edinburgh became a Liverpool v Napoli friendly.

[Brooster]

You can get in to real football (SPL and English prem) cheaper than you can get in to this kick about.

[StirlingHibee]

Got 4 tickets - looking forward to a good day out seeing some top players.

[Scouse Hibee]

Tickets bought, table at Murrayfield Hotel reserved. Should be a decent Sunday day out.

[Scouse Hibee]

You can get in to real football (SPL and English prem) cheaper than you can get in to this kick about.

No chance can you see an English game cheaper, you need to get there first. Also you can’t get tickets to watch Liverpool as easy as you can for this if at all. No negatives for this game if you want to see Liverpool live and you live in Edinburgh.

[Sir David Gray]

It is a complete rip off but would you pay it if it was Man United v Liverpool at the same venue?

Not for a pre season friendly, no.

I even turned down the Hibs v Barcelona pre season match a few years ago.

Fair enough everyone's free to spend their own money as they wish. I hope you enjoy your day.

I was at 2 Newcastle league games, 1 West Ham game at the Olympic stadium, 2 FA cup ties, 2 League 1 games and a Wembley final last season and paid less than £28 each time. I was in the top tier each time apart from West Ham. This friendly is a rip off and not for me but by all means you should go and enjoy your day.

Yes, Liverpool are European Champions.

Yes, it is marketing.

Yes, it’ll be Liverpool reserves, who could probably still whip every team in Scotland apart from Celtic and Rangers.

You dont need marketing to get folk to pay to watch the best team in europe. You need marketing to sell a product or event that there isn't much interest in, this is not one of these events as its clearly going to be a sell out. Also its only 12 days before their first league game so it certainly won't be a reserve team.

[Sir David Gray]

Would you pay £28 or more if it was Man U playing.

Not for a friendly I wouldn't.

I'd be prepared to pay a decent amount for a Manchester Utd v Liverpool league/cup game but not for a pre season friendly.

I wouldn't expect to pay any more than about £10 for any friendly game, regardless of which teams were involved.

They're glorified training sessions for the players, why anyone would pay through the nose for anything like that is beyond me but each to their own.

[SquashedFrogg]

I say the £28 I have paid represents good value for such an event.

It cost me not much less to watch Hamilton v Hibs last season.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Dont really bother with friendlies myself even when Hibs are involved. Made an exception for Hanlons testimonial last summer, mainly because my dads a Blackburn fan and we so rarely get to go to a game together. Can’t remember how much it cost. Poor game in baking heat with both teams arsing around in the sun. Not really worth it.

liverpool though? Well they’re Liverpool aren’t they. They’ll be worth a watch for people who can afford it.

I was in the top tier each time apart from West Ham. This friendly is a rip off and not for me but by all means you should go and enjoy your day.

I’ve chummed Mrs Beefster to a couple of games at Newcastle to see Arsenal. Overall, it cost way more than £28pp and the top tier (in the corner) is like watching a subbuteo match in the kitchen from the top of the tree in next door’s garden.

[JimBHibees]

It’s Liverpool’s second last friendly before the season starts. It may well be a little different from their strongest 11, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not a kick in the arse off it.

Agree think it will be strong team though they do have a strong squad and will likely have the bulk of their top team playing. Watched a couple of their games in the US tour last season and the games seemed competitive enough though it was Man U they were playing in one which brings its own competitive tension.

I've watched Manchester United at home in the Champions League and the match and atmosphere was instantly forgettable. This was only a couple of years ago and I don't remember the score anymore.

I've seen Messi, Suarez and Neymar play together in a league game at the Nou Camp only for Barca to lose 0-1 and it felt like you could hear a pin drop in the stadium.

The price is high but if you want to see the Champions League winners and you live in Edinburgh you won't get it any cheaper.

This is the same as golf though, there is a world number one and a European number one, who are often different players.

which doesn’t change the fact that Liverpool are the winners of the champions league, just as Man City are the winners of the EPL.

[Scouse Hibee]

Best in Europe which includes England, the so called best team in England were in the same competition but failed in their quest to be the Champions of Europe 😁

Best in Europe which includes England, the so called best team in England were in the same competition but failed in their quest to be the Champions of Europe 😁

The so called best team in Europe failed to beat the best team in England over the course of 38 games 😉

We are still the Champions Of Europe though! The so called best team in England haven’t even come close to winning it 😂
Add that to the fact that I have seen Liverpool win everything League titles and all, I’m pretty happy.

Id say you are. No one in their right mind would deny the fact that Liverpool are a bigger, greater, infinitely more iconic and charismatic club than Manchester city.

i just think it’s a bit of a stretch to suggest that the team that swept the board in English football this season aren’t the best team in England. After all, Porto were hardly Europe’s best team in 2004 were they? Neither were Liverpool in 2005. They both won the champions league.

It’s not just a bit of a stretch mate, it’s a bit of banter 👍

[Green&White]

You know football's ****ed when £28 for a friendly when players won't break a sweat and are probably contractually forbidden to tackle is deemed good value.

Power of marketing...I was going to get the father tickets for his father's Day but cheapest available are
£40 a ticket way in the corner at the very top apparently. 28 quid seems fair compared to that. I detest ticket master as they don't show you seats that are or aren't available and bump the price up the more they sell

The prices are set, if there are no £28 tickets left then they have been sold, the prices have not been increased according to demand.

The ticket prices were set and don’t change because of demand. £28 for behind the goals, £39.20 as you move in to the corner, £50.40 as you move further round towards the side stands and then the most expensive (£67.20) in the side stands

Not too bothered if I’m honest, just desperate to see Liverpool win another major trophy. Maybe would have felt differently if the league had not been so close, there was really nothing between us. Also very satisfying the amount of other countries champions we beat on the way to winning it.

Because these great players won't be trying that hard as its a pre season friendly and there is nothing at stake and they may not be even playing or at best get a half each.

Nor will the brilliance and athleticism of these players be on show as there is an unwritten rule in any friendly game between the players of both sides that you don't tackle hard and you don't play at full pace.

The managers are only concerned with building up fitness and trying out different shapes so will join in the charade by substituting half the team after 60 minutes and just like every other friendly the game dies and peters out after around 75 minutes.

None of this is reasons for not going as you get to say you watched two of the worlds most well known teams in front of 70,000 people in a happy friendly atmosphere in a top class venue.

Lets not try to pretend its proper football though as its not.

It’s not one shared by the club and their supporters who rightly still proclaim Liverpool as a massive club in English and European football. The word disgrace in terms of success on the pitch can never be levelled against Liverpool.

Its a friendly match so it can't possibly be a proper football match.

Proper football involves fan rivalry, it requires controversy, it requires a nasty edge on the pitch, it requires passion, it requires people caring about the result, it requires dissent, it requires getitrightfknupye.

This is not a competitive game of football as nothing is at stake. There is no win bonus, there is no goal scoring bonus for the strikers, nothing goes into the player pool bonus and every single player is under strict instructions not to over tackle.

No one remembers the score and no one really cares who wins or loses other than the diehard fans and even then I doubt it.

Ask yourself this when either team scores how will the players celebrate compared to a EPL or Serie A goal.

The won't give a flying fck.

I am assuming you are a Liverpool fan in which case name me a memorable Liverpool friendly win that you cant get out of your mind and let's see if anyone has heard of it.

It is still a very well worth occasion if this is your thing and enjoy saying "you were there" but the pretence that this is some huge competitive showdown between the Champion League winners and Series A's finest is frankly laughable.

If I can try to unpick your wee rage then I think you are saying in between your little temper tantrum that this game as you say yourself is just a friendly friendly and is only ever meant to be a friendly that ranks alongsige the many other friendliest friendly that every team plays when it plays a pre sesson friendly.

Now had you been a little bit more knowledgeable and had a bit more savvy about you then you would have comeback with what would have been quite a clever ratort about what happened last year pre season between exactly the same two teams.

Wee mind working is it......lol.

Liverpool 5 v Napoli 0 in Dublin. Lovely summer night, full house, some classy goals and an all round excellent football evening for those that like this sort of occasion.

Unfortunately you let your rage take over and proved my point utterly and completely as you didn't know this game had taken place or if you did it had completely disappeared from your mind as it was a game that ultimately meant nothing.

I guess the answer lies in your second last word. Choosing a "second team" is rarely going to be about the same reasons you support your first team. So of course most people (kids) are going to choose the popular clubs, they's generally better to watch.

If you think back to the foundation of any club and their beginnings in local communities with local officials, local players and local fans that probably gave rise to 'we' as a way to refer to the team. For me it goes like this when it comes to Hibs … 'they' got relegated and spent 3 seasons in the championship during which time 'we' won the cup :greengrin

Anyway …. Professional sport is the only form of 'entertainment' where folk will consistently pay for the product even when that product is utterly rank and in some cases makes them thoroughly depressed … no other form of entertainment or business in general for that matter relies on blind brand loyalty like sport does. The expression 'football without fans is nothing' is absolutely true and from that perspective its far from unreasonable for folk to refer to their club as 'we' or 'us'

Where that theory falls down a bit is when its folk with no connection to the community the club comes from and their support is purely based on the glamour, success and size of the club as advertised on television, like half the support of the ugly sisters or the guy from Lagos who is just fanatical about Man United …. their claim to the expression 'we' is weak at best.

I would also suggest that in this day and age of increasing fan ownership anybody who has bought into their club and is a part owner of it … in our case folk who have bought shares or are members of HSL or both … has increased their right to refer to the club they follow as 'we' :aok:

This. You very rarely saw Man City mentioned before their recent success. Always find it odd that Hibs fans go down the glory hunting route when most will dislike old Firm fans for that very reason. Also Hibs fans calling the likes of Liverpool and City 'we' is just weird to me.

People support different teams for various reasons.

I know someone from Edinburgh who is a Sheffield Wednesday fan, that is his main team. I haven't a clue why?

A friend of mine is a born and bred Londoner who lives in Haringey near to Spurs ground and not that far from the Emirates. He supports Hull City. That is because he was at University in Hull many years ago.

My brother-in-law is a Charlton fan. He gre up in North Wales, went to University in Birmingham and now lives in Purley, near Croydon. He started watching Charlton when they were playing at Selhurst Park.

There are plenty of Newcastle and Sunderland fans here in Edinburgh (some also support Hibs or Hearts). You could hardly accuse them of being glory hunters.

[Spike Mandela]

I can’t get remotely interested in Hibs friendlies or even testimonials. In the case of testimonials I would rather donate to someone I thought worthy of recognition rather than attend these kind of sham matches. I am not criticising those that do, it is just something I tired of years ago.

As for a friendly involving two clubs I don’t support, well, i just can’t get excited about it. If it’s your bag, enjoy it, have a good day, take the kids, have a hotdog, just don’t bring me back a two team scarf as a souvenir.:greengrin

There are plenty of Newcastle and Sunderland fans here in Edinburgh (some also support Hibs or Hearts). You could hardly accuse them of being glory hunters.

But the reason people follow the glory hunting teams is usually they were successful when these people were young and falling in love with football. There is no excuse for this in developed football cultures and leagues - Europe/Latin America. But think you can accept that in Africa and Asia where these deep leagues and cultures do not exist.

I am from Hawick and followed Hibs in the late 60s because I liked their flair style and were in Edinburgh and I could get to games. Most of my classmates followed the Old Firm. Some Leeds or Liverpool. No Hearts fans.

Don’t really get the seethe about “glory hunting” if people want to watch the best available games/teams live as football fans then let them get on with it.

That's fine. As long as they understand they can't slag Celtic and rangers fans for the same thing.

[sadtom]

Nowt against either side, in fact still have a soft spot for Pool since i was a kid. However. If they want a game in Embra, unless they are playing us, them, Edin city or Spartans (etc) then they can take their star*****er fitba and politely ***** right off!
They wouldn't tolerate it in their own cities so i'm b*ggered if we should entertain it in ours.
Against modern fitba and all the Hollywood bullsh*t thats comes with it.

Very strange comment. Liverpool have had some great teams over the years but there can't be any question about their current quality and excitement levels in watching this group of players. The Champions League winners who finished with 97 points in their domestic league being called ordinary is one of the most bizarre things I've heard on here.

As for Napoli, this is one of the best teams in their history. They've finished 2nd in Seria A two years in a row behind an excellent Juventus team and although there are no world class players in their team, still plenty of quality and well known names.

Did you watch the CL final? Liverpool played anti-football after that early controversial penalty.

They work very hard but no really inspirational players or quality attractive football.

Napoli were very attractive and attacking under Sarri. But the new manager has moved them to a much more defensive formation.

So we will see hard working/closing down athetic Liverpool versus a defensive Napoli in a pre-season friendly. All at great expense. Unless your a fan if one of the teams then it us going to be an expensive disappointment.

I still find your comments on Liverpool baffling. Did you watch the Barcelona game at Annfield? Liverpool are consistently one of the most exciting teams in the world. They have the best centre back in the world and outside of Messi and Ronaldo, Salah and Mane are probably as good as anyone else in their positions.

I'd be very interested to see who in your mind right now is a better team in terms of quality or to watch.

Ancelotti is one of the best coaches in the world and has plenty of exciting players in the team.

I'm fully aware it's a pre season friendly and will be played at a slow pace with a few players rested. Apart from kids I don't think anyone in attendance will be expecting much more than a decent day out and a chance to see two teams that are very unlikely to play a competitive game in Edinburgh for a long time.

OK, so you have chosen one match as your 'evidence' for Liverpool being boring. Not the most detailed analysis there! Finals and semi finals tend in general to be less open anyway due to the high stakes involved, so that further weakens your argument.

As for your 'at great expense' comment, this is costing me and my family of 4 no more than a standard Hibs match to go and see. Is that what you mean?

Mental. Liverpool are one of the best teams in the world to watch.

They are also the Champions of Europe and only lost one game all season in the Premier League. They are very very far from being ordinary.

[Smartie]

These are 2 of the sides I would be keenest to watch play a competitive game as a neutral. I can't believe anyone would think that this Liverpool team is anything other than brilliant to watch. To be fair they were probably a bit more fun to watch before they sorted their defence out.

I'm just not interested in watching pre-season kickabouts. Occasionally if I've been football-starved I'll be keen to go along and get a first glimpse of the season of my own team, but this just doesn't interest me.

Agree with this. I kinda feel I should go, but I really hate pre season games, and generally avoid them (even those including Hibs) - the fact it is after our season has started makes it less attractive to me too.

Maybe so but not perhaps in a pre season encounter.
There will be changes galore throughout the match and the usual players getting up to speed and getting some pre season minutes under their belts.
Theres nothing on the line and folk will be scrolling their Facebook after 20 mins.

Yeah because the 1984 European Cup Final Dalglish played in was beezer too right enough. Liverpool didn’t play much football that day either after scoring an early goal only this time they didn’t their defence couldn’t hold out for the clean sheet.

There is no way any human being in the world possibly believes this.

[Weegreenman]

I stopped doing friendlies years ago. They just don’t have that spark of excitement for me. However I have made this game an exception to my rule. I’ve always had a soft spot for Liverpool. I think the reason for this goes back to times when they ruled England in the Eighties and then there’s the obvious Scottish connections. I used to love watching them play big European nights at Anfield under the flood lights with what’s got to be one of the noisiest and most passionate supports in the world.
This current Liverpool side are exceptional and they have a manager that brings the whole club together.
Really looking forward to having what should be a great day out. :thumbsup:

Thought about getting tickets for this for me and my daughter (Dejan Lovren fan, would you believe?!) but decided against when all the cheaper ones went.

Liverpool are playing in New York on Thursday against Sporting so will likely arrive back in the UK on Friday/early Saturday.

I’m sure the players are delighted they then have to travel up to Scotland almost immediately. Walking pace game with 22 changes (but it might be good fun for all that).

Indeed they are, isn’t the modern world a marvel?

If they go for that option the players will be even more delighted that instead of heading home they are heading off to some random city that they have no connection to, in order to heighten awareness of the Liverpool FC franchise.

[hfc rd]

My brother in-law is a Liverpool fan and bought the whole family tickets for this. Sitting in block E20.

Also reading Klopp’s comments online, looks like not all of that star studded squad are going to be playing in this friendly. Salah, Allison & Firminio will be joining up with the squad in France a day later & Mane is on extended leave due to Senegal reaching the AFCON final.

[we are hibs]

Be a shame if it's reserve sides out

I’d imagine it will be a mixture of 1st team, reserves and youngsters. Similar to who is currently on tour just now.

Klopp’s confirmed that Allison, Firminio and Salah are going to be joining up with the squad the next day in France and Mane’s return date hasn’t been confirmed as is on extended leave due to Senegal reaching the AFCON final.

In the recent Dortmund friendly, eleven recognised starters from last season played at least a half, I think the only exceptions were Salah and Firmino because of international exertions. There will be loads of substitutions made but the stars will be out there.

Football is not just about Hibs!
Though Hibs are the team that I support, I will quite happily go to non Hibs matches if I think that it may be a decent game.

I probably fall in between the two polarising opinions on this one.

Wouldn’t have minded seeing the game, but when I looked at the schedule they had before this game and the pricing, made my mind up not to bother.

As long as people aren’t expecting more than a glorified bounce game, played at half pace, then it could be an enjoyable day out.

The pricing is way out of whack for what it is, in my opinion, despite the lowest prices being on par with what we pay, plus the costs of Murrayfield.
