Liverpool friendly @ Murrayfield

[hibby rae]

Me too .. nothing but glory hunters.. I really don’t see the affiliation most of those people have with Liverpool..

Personally I'm looking forward to watching two of the best club sides in the world at the moment. I also went to see France play the first time they were World Cup champions. Attending either occasion doesn't make you a glory hunter. Wouldn't bother with Hibs if I was! 😂

[Itsnoteasy]

Tickets now secured. Looking forward to this, as are my old man & step son. Looks like there’s loads going on in the fanzone pre-match.

Simmer doon FFS!!!
I have a soft spot for liverpool as i grew up in the 80's watching Barnes, Rush and King Kenny!!! I've tryed recently to get tickets for Anfield but its silly money!! Why would i pass up the chance to see them on my doorstep?!?!?
Hopefully this continues and we get more big teams coming next year.

Really, and yet every season I continually read about English football is p... h, plastic teams, all owned by outsiders, not worth watching & yet here we are putting money into an alternative sport's stadium & 2 very wealthy clubs :confused:

Yes you read comments from a small proportion of people who dislike the English game in Scotland, then there are the masses who watch every English game on TV and................. Believe it or not some folk even go to England just to watch Premiership games, often just for the occasion and not necessarily because they have some affiliation to either team. So little wonder that when a top premiership team plays in Scotland people want to go and watch. It's really not that hard to understand. Not to mention the folk that have a keen interest in Italian football wanting to see Napoli.

I bet you’re fun at parties. I support 2 teams, Hibs & Scotland. I also love watching football. Wether it’s Edinburgh City of a Wednesday night or Barcelona if I happen to be in the city, I love it. The Euro champions and Diego’s team are playing in my city so I’m going to go along for a fun day out, with my step son & my old man, whilst you’re sat at home on your phone trying to troll folk you’ve never even met.

[Joe6-2]

Some right clowns on here, they are European Champions, and some folk just love good football, this is a great occasion especially for youngsters

[BlackSheep]

I support neither Liverpool nor Napoli, but it’s a rare chance to see both live and with an affordable occasion so what the heck, all those deriding the fixture need to chill... what offence does Edinburgh hosting a friendly between two big clubs matter to you if you are not interested anyway!!

This game proves that you can fool most of the people most of the time.

If it was a competitive game or if you are a genuine Liverpool fan then fair enough. But for a neutral paying up to £55 to watch a training session to make the rich even richer ? Give me strength.

Remember not to fall asleep when trying to follow the multiple sub switches during the second half.

I don't get why people can't just accept some people like different things. The idea of 'fan zones' and watching a pre season kick about holds no appeal for me so I'm keeping my money in my pocket and doing other things today. Obviously other people feel differently and that's their choice. I hope they enjoy their day and get what they want from it.

It's the great thing about having a choice in how we spend our leisure time. No one is forced to do anything they don't want to. If it's not for you then fine, I don't see why there's any need to tear into the people who are going along to enjoy a day out.

It doesn’t have to sit right with you. People are entitled to spend their time and money doing what they wish, without having other people pontificate on those choices. There’ll be plenty people on here who smoke or drink or other activities that aren’t for everyone, which many others would look down on or could criticise, but don’t.

Things not sitting right with any one person can be a slippery slope - someone could make the point that using £400 on a season ticket for football when there’s people homeless and starving who could use that £400 to survive, doesn’t sit right. But I’m sure there are 12 thousand plus people who feel it’s right for them. And they’d be quite correct to feel that way. Just as there are people who feel it’s right for them to go to this match.




Theres an an awful lot of people on here who are very quick to tell the world how they won’t be going and how this type of thing is their type of thing. If it’s not for you, that’s fair enough, but many seem to be spending a lot of their time going on about something they want nothing to do with.




To those who are going today, hope you have a great time and an enjoyable match. I won’t be there, for various reasons, but I would have liked to have been.

Enjoy :greengrin

I'm looking forward to it today. Meeting up with 68 parents and children from our local football team. Some will go to the fan zone, some will go for a pre match lunch, but I'm sure we'll all have a good day out. 🍺

Most of the boys will be at Easter road on Tuesday night, watching another English Premier League team against their favourites.

I don't support either team but going with a few mates to the game which is something we rarely do as all support different Scottish teams (ones even a Jambo) so can never find a game we're all interested in.

More likely that a few (not many) decided they couldn't afford all three games and made a choice to go today. Maybe their kids were pushing to see Salah or Mane.

I regard today's kick about in the same way I do boxing, horse racing or Formula One ie boring and irrelevant. Others enjoy those sports though so I won't criticise them for having different tastes.

I am not going for reasons that are utterly irrelevant to the people who are. If you have tickets, I hope you have a great day out - this is the entertainment industry after all.

It's not. It's that simple. If you're using that argument, you could use it for anything. Hibs fan buys a new car? Ford are taking money away from Hibs. New film out in the cinema? Money could have been spent on Hibs. Hibs fan goes out to dinner? Big chain restaurant is robbing Hibs of fans. Any Hibs fan going to the Hibs Club etc before games? Could have just bought another Hibs fan a ticket, Hibs Club is taking money from Hibs.

I'm convinced that the vast majority of the posters saying that it's taking away from Hibs are trolling.

[FilipinoHibs]

Hopefully Hibs or Hearts get to play a glamour friendly against Real Madrid or someone at Anfield. Great idea. It would capture people's imagination and gain us new fans.

About as likely as Hearts winning the league. When I was in Singapore went to see Arsenal vs PSG (last year). It was very competitive and lots of Arsenal players playing to impress. Arsenal fans came from all over Asia to see their team, bringing great home made banners. The atmosphere was electric at seeing their heroes. The players appreciated iit and lifted their game. Ozil got a heroes reception for all that Turkish guff he was getting back home. All over the city there where fans conventions - it was like seeing kids at christmas. I doubt if today's will come close to the action on the pitch or the sheer joy of the fans.

[Scouse Hibee]

Hopefully this will become an annual event with Murrayfield hosting a top premier team against foreign opposition. there is certainly a massive market for it.

Aw for ****s sake. If I had known the Harlem Globe Trotters were in Edinburgh, I would have been there instead of Murrayfield.

[Weir07]

Of course people are entitled to do what they want and spend their money as they wish, just as they're entitled to support which ever football team they want to but personally I support an Edinburgh club and regularly attend matches, can't understand why anyone would actively support the Old Firm or an English premiership team if they're from Edinburgh or buy expensive sports subscriptions so that money goes to already vastly wealthy clubs, this "glamour" friendly at Murryfield falls squarely in that category. Appreciate others will have a different point of view but this is a fans forum so there will be a range of opinions, to be honest, it's not exactly left field to have a negative view of this friendly if you want the best for Hibs or Scottish football in general.

It's not. It's that simple. If you're using that argument, you could use it for anything. Hibs fan buys a new car? Ford are taking money away from Hibs. New film out in the cinema? Money could have been spent on Hibs. Hibs fan goes out to dinner? Big chain restaurant is robbing Hibs of fans. Any Hibs fan going to the Hibs Club etc before games? Could have just bought another Hibs fan a ticket, Hibs Club is taking money from Hibs.

I'm convinced that the vast majority of the posters saying that it's taking away from Hibs are trolling.

Agree 100%. Of course everyone has a budget but if you want to go to a Hibs game then you will prioritise it over other things. Attending any kind of football game is a luxury therefore as you say we should presumably be looking to close down all the boozers, theatres, cinemas etc as they are taking away from Hibs.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I think the match attenders and the naysayers should organise a pre-match ruck on The Tynie Plaza before meeting in The Diggers after the game to buy each other copious amounts of 80 shilling before heading out for a nice Sunday night drive.

I think they add something a bit different. Nice to see them enjoying our club and city and it's not like they're doing any genuine fan out of a ticket when we rarely sell out anyway. Often spend a bit of dosh too.

You're not comparing like with like. Going for a meal or to the Zoo is a very different experience to attending a football match.

Holding a football match at Murrayfield between two teams with no connection to Edinburgh is direct competition for the three senior clubs in the city at a time of year when they are playing League Cup games or holding friendlies of their own.

It’s not direct competition, they’re not playing at the same time. If people had to go to one or the other then it would be direct competition and people getting worked up about it would make a little more sense. As it stands it’s getting played on a Sunday night when people would maybe go out for dinner, go to the pictures or whatever else people want to do with their free time. This is just another option that people have been given. One which isn’t competing with Hibs as there is absolutely nothing Hibs related happening on a Sunday evening.

That is not how people budget. They will be deciding do I go to the Abroath and Newcastle games or the show game. Most would be in on Sunday night. The attendance at the Abroath game was poor and I think the Newcastle game will be poorly attended. I think that has been impacted by people going to the show game. The Abroath game was actually vital: our form not to good and we struggled against them in the friendly. We really had to win to progress in what is Scotland's third competition.

They are direct competition because they are a similar experience ie football games. Going for a meal isn't direct competition because it's a different experience. Most people like variety in their lives.

Anyway, enjoy yourself this at Murrayfield since that's your thing.

If I had a limited budget I would have gone to the Abroath game. Not the Newcastle game as meaningless and the toon treating as training exercise and save money for next round of Betfred. But I am a Hibs fan first and a football second.

[hibby rae]

Probs worth pointing out, in the context of the Hibs missing out argument. It's not just Hibs supporters going to today's game. It's not even just people from Edinburgh going. The city will see a massive influx of people today. So the city is benefitting from this. As has already been stated I think this would be great to see every year.

Today's game is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most of us attending today.

[Since452]

Will this surpass Easter Roads record as the highest attendance for a game in Edinburgh?

Do they not? I’m certainly not deciding if I go to this or one of the Hibs games? I’ve decided I’ll go to this rather than go out for dinner like I do most Sundays. I’ll also be at the Hibs games. So this game for me was in direct competition with other non football related things I would have been doing today. Not in competition with Hibs. I’d suggest lots of people will be the same.

If you think they two games would/will have had noticeably better attendances if this game wasn’t on then I’d suggest you go back to previous years and look at pre season attendances and that should set your mind at ease. Hibs aren’t losing out because of this game.

Napoli #21, absolutely strolled through the match. It didn't liven up until Liverpool put on their last 4 subs, the young yins.

Napoli waltzed through the Liverpool defence at will, and you could have driven a coach and horses down their left wing.

Again and again they pinged the ball from right to left.

Liverpool couldn't cope.

Two of our boys loved it, but some others were disappointed with the European champs.

Napoli were a joy to watch, insigne is class. Murrayfield is excellent.

He was excellent. I'm not a Liverpool fan so whilst I was hoping for a bit more from them I was really enjoying watching Napoli go forward. Every time I they went down their left it looked like a goal was coming.

Insigne was tremendous.
Napoli were tremendous.
Murrayfield is much better than Hampden.
The new rules regarding restarts look like they will make a big difference this year. Teams that play out from the back well can defeat a high press.
Enjoyable day.
