2019-20 season non-Hibs games thread

[Iggy Pope]

Spurs v United

isnt having expert analysis from Keane, Evra and Neville a bit unbalanced?

I’d say more unhinged than unbalanced.

[Sir David Gray]

Penalty Manchester Utd.

[Lancs Harp]

Hard to believe there’s a debate about Spurs lack of trophies. They’ve won nothing other than a League Cup in over 20 years, a competition that other clubs use for their 2nd XI. It’s only the last 4 or 5 years they’ve been competing to get above Arsenal never mind anything else. Even the season they were nailed on to win the title they shat it, Leicester won it and the Gunners were runners up! Spurs only managed 2nd prize in Green Street....

:greengrin quote of the evening

[Since90+2]

Indeed. Ross County have won a trophy in the last 10 years. Should've went with Livingston instead.

Celtic have won more trophies than Liverpool in the last 10 years. Liverpool are *****.

Spot on. They are actually like Hearts. Media darlings who can do no wrong, obsessed with finishing above their rivals. Wenger won more in his worst period ever than Spurs have in 30 years.

The money excuse really doesn't work either. Just because they got world class players for cheap (Kane, Erikson, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Lloris etc) does make their squad less quality.

[Sir David Gray]

1-1

Ah good evening.

Okay, we can use English clubs if you're going to be silly.

Birmingham, Swansea, Middlesbrough, Wigan, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester and Portsmouth have all won as many trophies as Spurs in the last 20 years.

Spurs record with the players they have had/have is really poor.

[h18eeynick]

I was about to say that I dont know the stats but I am sure that MWHibbies would so you beat me to it !! I think in many games involving Hibs in the last couple of years that Hibs maybe had 10 to 20 attempts on target , many missing, and the opposition maybe 5 to 10 depending on who they were playing outwith the top teams. I would imagine in the English Premier League it may be well less that 10 attempts per team . Over to you sir !

Your last paragraph is spot on. I agree.

However the fact you said Ross County have won more trophies in the last 10 years is daft, hence why you are now backtracking. As I have pointed out Celtic have won more trophies the last 10 years than Liverpool , but it means absolutely nothing as they play in different leagues.

[Sir David Gray]

Another penalty. :faf:

Probably true but English sides are tactically well ahead of teams here, meaning games are tighter and more methodical. I personally prefer watching other leagues to the English leagues, with some exceptions (Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Southampton recently been very good to watch) but a good quality English game is definitely worth watching.

[Scouse Hibee]

I'm not back tracking. It is true. Yeah its true Celtic have won more than Liverpool but Celtic winning means very little, does it? Their the richest team in the league by miles and have zero competition. Ross County were a pub team when Spurs last won something.

How come that cheating Man u player didn't get booked for diving for a penalty?

All 22 of them should’ve been booked for time wasting.

Pogba really made a positive impact. United looked much better with him on.

Same old story for Spurs, close but no cigar.

Yeah I think you are right. I played amateur footie from 8 to 45 but had a trial with Dundee United in 1981 at the height of their time. I was a bruiser of a centre forward before switching to centre half for my last 2 years. I guess I prefer to see players knocking 2 bells out of each other and goal mouth action rather than the technical side . A good old scrap gets my vote. I played against Hibs first team in 1986 just before they played Rangers when Souness got sent off in the first game of the season and they ripped us apart playing triangles all across the pitch. Taught me a lesson as we were one of the top East of Scotland sides at the time but just couldnt compete. For whet its worth i got brought down by Gordon Rae and would normally take penalties. The captain overruled me and scored against Alan Rough . We got beat 5 - 1 with John Collins scoring 2 crackers !

They were a wee bit unlucky that the ref seemed desperate to give United a pen. Both dives imo.

[Gordy M]

Below is a link to a Russian chap commenting on the farce currently going on in Russia due to Covid. One of the teams entire first team caught it. As a result they had to play their entire academy team....oldest being 19 years old. They have just been scudded 10-1.....allegations of corruption going on as well!!

Leicester leave it late but what a strike 0-1 .edit 1-1 now

[cabbageandribs1875]

Brentford win at fulham with two late goals to move up to fourth, a good result for Leeds and West brom as well

expect west brom to leapfrog leeds with a win against a birmingham team that have nothing to play for and have seven academy kids on their bench

[MWHIBBIES]

Bad injury for the Arsenal goalie Leno.

Pointless challenge. Been saying for a while that players barging into other players who are off balance/jumping was going to lead to something very bad. Looks like a broken leg.

Second serious injury for an Arsenal player since returning already.

No.

Mainz 3 Werder Bremen 1.

Looking bleak for our green German chums. 2 behind Dusseldorf with 1 game to play. Best chance is a play off if they win and Dusseldorf lose last game, otherwise automatic relegation to 2nd Bundesliga.

[gogsy23]

As a fan you would moan if your striker never jumped with the keeper. Snowflake mentality ffs.

[Hiber-nation]

Maupay is a horrible wee *****. Tried to break SJM's ankle last season.

[cabbageandribs1875]

another good result for leeds with west brom just drawing with birmingham, though WB do go top level with leeds and by just +1 in goal difference, go leeds tomorrow at cardiff :hyper

[MWHIBBIES]

As a fan you would moan if your striker never jumped with the keeper. Snowflake mentality ffs.

Statements like that just discredit everything else you say.

I don't think I'd want my striker charging into a keeper when he clearly had 2 hands on the ball. The guy is probably out for the season now with a season injury, nothing ''snowflake'' about that. Was a needless challenge IMO. Barging into guys who are off balance/jumping is very dangerous. There is a reason it is banned in basketball for example. You have to give guys space to land safely.

[B.H.F.C]

Arsenal are in some state. Look like a bunch of boys that like being footballers more than actually playing football.

[gogsy23]

Basketball is a NON contact sport though. Watching it at full speed i would say the player has evrey right yo challenge in a safr manner, hoe many times does a keeper take his eye off the ball/ spill it etc

Slowed down it does look worse, all the arsenal players giving it the big tough guys at the end but if they showed that much fight during a game they may win one edit: that was my snowglake mentality comment aimed at the arsenal players. Sorry but any sport that involves jumping/landing will always have jarring, twisting injuries whether challenging or not

Managed 15 mins of West Ham game. Football is dreadful without the crowd. Glad we never played out the season as games are like training matches. Perhaps football across the world will now realise that the fans in the ground element is what makes it special. Without the fans it really isn't a spectacle.

Apparently this will be the most watched premier league game of all time (as its on BBC)

[Since452]

It's a chronic league. Most of the games are like watching paint dry even with full stadia. More like a game of chess. All the big teams play in stadia too big for them and make the difference up with tourists with the exception of maybe Everton. Watched a classic Man United game the other night from early 90's with 40 odd thousand and the place was absolutely rocking. Now it's a morgue with almost double the crowd. I can't get on the bandwagon with it at all I'm afraid.

Most of those clubs have season ticket waiting list of tens of thousands so the stadiums definitely aren't too big.

[Scouse Hibee]

Better than watching it without on the TV in my opinion. You don’t really take that much notice but it’s there in the background and makes it feel more like a proper game than hearing the shouting on the pitch.

Twenty years on a ST waiting list tells you that the stadiums are not big enough.

[Iggy Pope]

Twenty years on a ST waiting list tells you that the stadiums are not big enough.

He’s right about Old Trafford though. I know of 4 season tickets that regularly go unused. All the atmosphere comes out of the Manc bands they play on the PA and I doubt Ian Curtis was much of a red.

Yep agreed. I watched the Aston Villa-Sheffield Utd match the other night both with and without the crowd noise and the one with was 100 times better whilst admittedly not a patch on the real thing.

[Iggy Pope]

I find myself only half watching the games regardless of the noise. I couldn’t even get into old Jeff and the Soccer Saturday stuff. I think the lack of having the Scottish game about me is making other football less interesting no matter where it comes from. That Chillwell goal for Leicester today for instance, that was a stunning strike I’ll have forgotten all about in the morning.

[MWHIBBIES]

Its not the new normal. There will be full stadiums in a year (latest), like there was a year ago.

Week in week out but they have a very soft underbelly. Easy on the eye and play some good stuff but not clinical enough in front of goal and make too many mistakes. If that team goes up without considerable additions they will be butchered in the EPL.

Don't have SKY mate, have to watch your game later on the laptop 😉

[Phil MaGlass]

I watched Athletico Madrid v Real Valladolid, they had the canned fan support singing, booing, cheering, the lot and a really good super imposed/animated fan support background, I thought it was great, I think it all depends on how this is implemented, just seeing the banners draped over the seats and hearing a poor level of canned support doesn't really add anything.
Mind you this will probably treble the real atmosphere at Old Trafford, they may even keep it.:greengrin

Really interesting that both teams are faking the short restart with 3 defenders in the six yard box, and instead both keepers knocking it long instead.

Liverpool were far quicker on the ball than Everton, and yet Everton had two great chances to win it late on.

Three chances if Richarlison had looked up and knocked it across.

Everton could have and should have nicked it at the end, thankfully they didn’t and we move one point closer.

Strange how he ripped the Hibs defence apart in the pre-season match at Easter Road.

The defences in the English Premier League are far stronger than ours.

Even by Scottish Premiership standards, our defence is pretty poor. One look at the 'goals against' column from last season will highlight that.

They paid £40 million for him and he's managed 2 league goals in 30 games.

[Sylar]

One player/coach (unspecified) tested positive for Covid-19 in the latest round of testing and will now self-isolate.

Why do their fellow team-mates/staff not also need to self-isolate, in line with Government advice? Pretty sure that's what's happening in Italy - if one player tests positive, the entire team is taken out of comission.

It's a valid point though. Surely adhering to the government's rules is more important than finishing a football season.

That would just stop the league completely though, it would never be completed.

And so it should be - we're in a public health crisis and allowing footballers who have been in contact with someone who's tested positive to carry on is just downright stupidity.

This is from May, so I don't know if things in Italy have since changed: https://www.football-italia.net/153131/minister-positive-test-and-serie-stops

Man City 1-0 Burnley.

Decent strike from Foden, but it's been a(nother) poor, poor game so far.

[Scouse Hibee]

I’m not disagreeing I’m just speculating as to why they let it happen.

[Sylar]

City have really gone through the gears here - game over, 50 minutes gone (4-0).

[Sir David Gray]

I’m not disagreeing I’m just speculating as to why they let it happen.

I know you weren't I just fancied making conversation. 😂

[Scouse Hibee]

I’ll speak to you when we’ve won the league,now Shoosh 😂

[Sylar]

5-0 City - Foden again (he looks a cracking young player).

[theonlywayisup]

5-0, hope Burnley refund their fans for this display.

Some Burnley fans flew a “white lives matter” banner over the Etihad tonight.

Burnley’s Ben Mee (without being asked) spoke really well in condemning it. Good man.

[PatHead]

I think they should stop the football now and void the season in England. No champions this year.

Ughhhh they will now be filed alongside huns and hearts as a club I hope is unsuccessful in every way possible.

Leicester City 0 v 0 Brighton

Schmeichel saves Maupay pen

[Billy Whizz]

Woodgate fired, and Warnock in. Middlesbrough are in a precarious position, and could go down

This game is honking.

:yawn:

So is this one...

Is Dele Ali an inside joke that I don't get? I've yet to see him have a decent game in either a Spurs or England shirt.

[J-C]

EPL is so overrated, another borefest tonight, yet to see a decent game since it came back, I switched off after 20 mins.

[Brightside]

The players arent fit. Been out of training for ages - then a week or so back and they are playing. They are miles off the pace.

[Andy74]

Unless you’re a fan of the teams or there’s something particular at stake football tends to be on the dull side. Doesn’t really matter what league it is. Unless you are watching the odd exceptional maverick talent the better the technical standard the more boring the games can get.

[marinello59]

Exactly. It will take at least three or four games to get fully match fit.

[hibsbollah]

It will take three weeks, minimum. At which point everything will be pretty much decided.

[brianmc]

Decent game on show in Barcelona just now.
Still no goals but Athletic Club are giving Barça a bit of a lesson.

[we are hibs]

A goal. A rarity in the English game.


1 0 spurs OG

Was excellent 2 years ago. Been rubbish since.

[MWHIBBIES]

Almost as if the players haven't played in months and quite a few have had corona virus. Guys are nowhere near fitness.



Same as the folk who judged all our new signings on the Stirling Albion game. Just silly.

[grunt]

A goal. A rarity in the English game. Not a rarity in games against West Ham.

[Andy74]

One thing I’ve noticed is that footballers wives and girlfriends could all make a very decent living cutting hair.

[StevesFamau5]

TV money has ruined the game down there, too many average players on £100K+ wages, yes I understand why it's a bit naff right now due to being off and lack of game fitness.

That's true. The teams now seem to poke it around the same way - across and back, occasionally up the wings and back again.

They are scared to try anything different or imaginative. It takes a really special player to break the mould. Or a side like Liverpool or Man City.

[lord bunberry]

Andy Robertson makes a big difference to Liverpool when he’s playing. He’s always available out wide and he’s always bombing forward. Cracking modern day left back.

[HoboHarry]

Liverpool camped in the Palace half and Saha off injured already......

[Scouse Hibee]

2-0 Liverpool HT Trent & Salah

What a strike 3-0 Fabinho

[Scouse Hibee]

4-0 Mane

[lord bunberry]

I love watching Liverpool, they are such a great team. If you were trying to describe football to someone who hasn’t seen it before you would tell them to watch Liverpool.

[HoboHarry]

Mane has been superb tonight....

[Scouse Hibee]

Looks like Klopp will ensure a few of the young lads get to five appearances and so qualify for a medal.

[Sir David Gray]

Was there a game on tonight?

[HoboHarry]

Surely we all agree any title won in circumstances like this is tainted and should have an asterisk next to it, yes?

Liverpool will deservedly win the league but City are a joy to watch as well......

[hibsbollah]

Mendy! Just how does he play at this level? How?

Hes a great player. Classic modern full back. Fast, athletic, one of the best crossers in the world. Badly mistimed that tackle though, he needed to play the percentages.

[Sir David Gray]

:faf: Give me peace, it's called football rivalry.

I'm not aware of any set of football fans in the world who wouldn't feel bitter about their biggest rivals winning a title for the first time in 30 years.

[HH81]

Well done Liverpool on winning the league.

[SteveHFC]

**** off Walker.

[calumhibee1]

That is outstanding from Kyle Walker.

[hibsbollah]

Pulisic is on ridiculously good form.

[Hiber-nation]

Sorry, mate. He's consistently bombscare defensively. The very occasional decent cross doesn't make up for it. Not good enough for a club with their aspirations.
