2019-20 season non-Hibs games thread

[Danderhall Hibs]

1-0 rangers - good finish

[theonlywayisup]

And Heckingbottom took Lennon’s bottom 6 side into the top 6. Let that sink in.

Anyway this turning into a Lennon love-in for some reason. Is anyone watching the Rangers game? It’s murder.

Yes, The Rangers have just cleared a Porto shot of the line.

Nooooooooooo

[theonlywayisup]

Good finish though

[Hibeesmad]

Good night for Scottish Football

[SRHibs]

Morelos is class. Nice goal.

[Danderhall Hibs]

That’s it over. Deflected goal I think.

[wallpaperman]

My mistake then, thought we'd made it to 17th, maybe Croatia just overtook us and serbia

Yes, Croatia jumped over us last night, but think based on Celtic alone tonight we will go back over Croatia and certainly above Serbia.

As you said, incredibly close up to about 15th.

Morelos is class. Nice goal.

This x100. Exactly what we are looking for in terms of attributes for our striker. Is every bit the striker they class him as

[Just Alf]

Good for the coefficient.

Morelos is class.If morelos cut out his antics, diving etc he'd double his value!

Kamara has proved to be very good for the huns. A lot of folk on here were correct about him when he was being touted as a potential signing for us. Pah...

[pacoluna]

His record at Celtic is also totally irrelevant to his collapse at Hibs. Which is all hibs fans care about. Not his results for Celtic against Lazio.

Where you no insisting that we stuck by heckingbottom? 😂

Actually, it seems that quite a few people are interested in his results for Celtic against Lazio.

That's only to be expected given that he was our manager only 9 months ago.

[MWHIBBIES]

Morelos is a brilliant player. Nothing class about him though, absolute ****er.

[Carheenlea]

Old Firm fans having a great night of football. Can’t say I share the joy.

[Sylar]

I wouldn't be surprised if both Glasgow clubs receive silly offers for their main strikers in the January window. Both Eduoard and Morelos can easily play at a higher level.

We can’t have it both ways. We can’t root for them in Europe purely to boost the coefficient, which, fair enough, a lot of folk on here want and at the same time despise them and wish them all the bad luck in the world in the domestic scene. Success in Europe is more than likely going to breed even more success in the Premiership making the rest of the clubs like us pale into relative obscurity. Should we wish them success on the meagre chance we pick up a few occasional scraps of European football or should we enjoy their failure, which is more likely to result in happier times for us domestically. I know what I wish for.

Yup. And when it got to a similar point as the run NL was on then I also reckoned PH should have went.

Celtc and Rangers could get dumped out of Europe in the first qualifying rounds for the next 10 years and it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference to the domestic gap. They have a fanbase that dwarves every other club in Scotland, and not only that, two fanbases that will turn up out of ideology as much as a love of club. They've both weaponised the sectarian/political elements of their supports and turned it into their base, cash revenue stream. Even without the European money, it's not a gap the rest of us can bridge, no matter what we (or any other club in Scotland) do.

My remaining hope is that the two of them eventually bugger off out of Scottish football, but then what? Like it or not, those mutants are the main selling point of our game, and a key reason we have a deal of any value with broadcasters. Take the Ugly Sisters out of the SPFL and we'd be a league akin to the Irish or Welsh leagues. Certainly in the eyes of Sky, BT, Premier Sports etc.

Ach, I don't know what the answer is to closing the gap and becoming competitive. I'm nihilistic, and genuinely don't think there is an answer, so may as well console myself with the prospect of an away trip to somewhere sunny next summer (well, A summer...next summer isn't happening...) as we struggle against some European "minnows" that are primed to humiliate us. Results like tonight make that much more of a possibility with extra places and entrance in later qualifying rounds. But I AM conflicted, as I can't stomach seeing either of them win, let alone their parasitic fans enjoying themselves on such evenings.

I'm not sure a race to the bottom would be better for us.

What's a parasitic fan, by the way?

[jgl07]

He was finished at us, had lost it & wasn’t turning it round.
There was nothing wrong with Lennon at Hibs until he lost the plot. He has been open about his mental health issues and I believe that was the issue that affected him. He needed to move on and did do.

No recriminations from me and I suspect from the majority of Hobs fans.

I can understand and accept the pragmatic and logical reasoning of coefficients and all that but at the end of the day I’ve always, maybe selfishly, followed my heart and gut feeling when it comes to supporting football. I only want Hibs to win, couldn’t really care less about other teams, especially the ugly sisters and I’m too old now to start being sensible and broad minded.

Sadly, all you say is correct.

Tonight's positive results for the 2 Scottish teams has today seen Scotland remarkably leap up from 19th to 16th in the UEFA coefficient table.
Not a bad nights work and now less than a draw behind our target of 15th which would see Scotland with 5 European representatives in season 2021/22 instead of the current 4.
At the start of last season Scotland were in a lamentable 26th place! After last seasons performances we had moved up to 20th. Barring mishaps, the next round of European matches will see Scotland in the desirable top 15 places.
In a nutshell Serbia are our only serious challengers for 15th this season. Like us they have 2 representatives (Red Star & Partizan Belgrade) still standing. We are currently more than a win and a draw ahead of them, so advantage Scotland going into the last 2 group stage games.

This season has been a ball breaker for Hibs but a reasonable top 5 league finish next season will likely see us back in Europe for season 2021/22 and hopefully most seasons thereafter. As Sylar said above we are not challenging the big Glasgow teams any time soon whatever happens to them in European competition. Best being positive about it and looking forward to some good and regular European trips following Hibs. Super smashin' great!

[CMurdoch]

Rangers got a bit lucky I thought. Celtic still a fair bit better than them. Reasonable draw and they have an opportunity to get a good run in the Europa.

Rangers were appalling until they took off Barker who had contributed the square root of **** all.
Within 5 minutes Morelos scored, then they scored a 2nd goal and then they were crap again.

Celtic were all over Lazio in the 2nd half but are lax at the back. Lennon has them very open, scoring and conceding goals in almost equal measure.
Can't say i remember a Scottish team giving an Italian team such a runaround in the last 40 years.

You actually think he's obsessed with you or do you reckon the issue here is you absolutely slating Lennon for weeks, demanding he gets sacked and then smugly starting a thread after Heck won a few games saying "to the people who asked me who I'd replace Lennon with: Paul Heckingbottom is who".

It's even better than it presently looks----Last year we got 6.75 coefficient points, so far this year, 7.5...with the runs those two are on, we MIGHT hit 9. If the next 3 seasons just match LAST season, we'd be around 36 points....which is what Belgium are on right now in 8th. Now I doubt we would realistically hit those heights, but it would leave us securely with 5 European spots, one CL spot guaranteed, and some nice late entries in the qualifiers so we(Hibs) aren't playing in late June against teams half way thru their season, somewhat guaranteed for a few years. Plus regular qualification will invite a better standard of player and, dare I say it, manager. I can tell you the best feeling I have had since May 2016 was John McGinn scoring in Greece, realising we were about to win a testing European tie for the first time in 30 years??

Oh trust me, he’s obsessed. He’s been called out for it by other posters, admins included fairly recently, again at a time when I wasn’t even posting on the thread.

“Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk or harass an individual”

Fits the description down to a tee really seeing as a massive proportion of his posts revolve around me - even when I’m not posting on the subject. See the posts last night or throughout his post history for the past year or so for whatever evidence you need.

[calumhibee1]

Looking forward to the Dundee derby tonight.

Likewise. Fancy DU to win, no doubt with a goal or two from Shankland.

Sadly not the first or the last time this will happen

However, wearing my tinfoil hat, they turn off the pitch mics for minute silences all the time, especially at old firm games, so why wasn’t Dundee given the same treatment

I’m certainly not defending the behaviour of the minority of the fans but these situations can be and are highly edited

Without Shankland they're a decent championship side. His goals make a massive difference. He almost had Ayr promoted last season.

If Shankland moves on they're struggle in this league.

Aye true. I'd be very surprised if he's still there next season.

For me Mackie should be playing midfield.

Few things..

Mackie - confidence gone or development stalled ?

Dundee Utd - playing with confidence - look pretty decent - be interesting if they played a top div side.

Dundee - been pretty awful

[Ozyhibby]

Shankland is a clinical finisher.

Seems to be an acknowledgement at Hibs that they have been getting recruitment badly wrong so I’ll try to not go on so much about Shankland now. We could certainly have done with him though.

For me on the evidence of tonight that’s exactly why Mackie has been sent on loan. If he made the errors for us he has tonight he would have been slaughtered and no doubt Dundee fans will be ripping into him again. Kind of agree he might be better further forward, needs to lean a bit and get fitter to play on the wing imo

I think he’s just not the level we need. Doesn’t mean he won’t have a career in football I just don’t think he’s good enough for us.

Fairly early days to make any real decisions on him imo he’s not been on the screen that long and defo has something, will he be what we need and a star for us in the future like you I’m not sure but needs a bit more time for me.

For me if he was going to be good enough he would be bursting his way into that team and forcing Stevenson out. He’s not managed that and I can’t see it happening for him. Looks like Shaw and Murray will be the same.
It’s not easy to break through and when you get small chances you have to take them and make it hard for the manager to drop you out again. None of those three have managed that.
They are all now in their 20’s and haven’t broke through yet. It’s likely they will all be playing at a lower level next season. And that will be good for them as well.

Didn’t look good at all last night. No idea how he’s been doing other weeks but I don’t see him making it at us.

Felt for the lad, a couple of early mistakes and looked nervous.

It's up to him, hopefully he'll learn from last night, get more opportunities to learn and improve at Dundee then come back ready to challenge at Hibs.

Leicester are certs for top four the way they are playing this season. Chelsea have surprised me so far, unsure if they are able to sign players in January but if so it could help them to get top four, they are getting the results against the lower sides but they struggle to take points off the big boys, Man City away for them next.

Arsenal are too weak defensively, Uniteds away form has been horrible and Spurs are needing a total revamp in January.

Offside?

[Onion]

VAR is a mess. Fantastic strike and goal .. but celebration are cut short because of something that happened 30 sec ago at the other end (which the ref saw from 10 yds away andgave clear decision).

Yes, you end up with the right result, but there needs to be a time limit on stopping the game for VAR - just as there is in rugby with playing advantage after the ref gives a penalty.

Celebrating great goals are what football is all about and VAR is killing it.

2-0 .... oh, let's wait 10 mins and see what VAR says :rolleyes:

Regarding the first goal and the possible penalty to City. Just how farcical would it have been for Liverpool to have the goal chalked off and a penalty awarded at the other end.

I remain a VAR skeptic. For me it just kills the natural flow of the game, VAR decisions are subjective just like the referees on the field.

[hfc rd]

If Liverpool win this game, they go 9 points ahead of Manchester City. That’s huge!

Couldn’t have asked for anything better and if they don’t go on and win the league this season, then f*** knows if they ever will.

They couldn’t have asked for a better start

[BoomtownHibees]

However any handball that directly leads to a goal is disallowed. Strange rules

For me VAR is a good thing. It’s in its infancy remember, nothing is ever perfect without being refined.

I personally feel it should be used mostly on an appeals basis and to determine things like the penalty incident we saw earlier.

I'm not a fan of Stones and Walker. Stones is easily bullied for a big centre back. The City defence is too slow to react; the first goal wasn't closed down at all, and Liverpool look dangerous every time they go forward.
