Semi final draw - Hibs v Celtic

[Sir David Gray]

Rangers v Aberdeen or Hearts
Kilmarnock or Hibs v Celtic

[hibee_girl]

Is there the same issue of the Old Firm both playing in Europe on the Thursday this year?

[Pete]

Surprise surprise.

Hot ball cold ball.

No.

[oneone73]

Hibs Huns final. Bring it on.

I'll answer my own question :greengrin

No, there's no issue with European games this year :aok:

I've already answered it for you. :wink:

[hibee_girl]

Hoping we're the Sunday game, I made plans for the Saturday totally forgetting this was a possibility :rolleyes:

[bingo70]

What are the dates of the games?

[Sir David Gray]

What are the dates of the games?

2nd and 3rd November.

[oneone73]

Will Porto be suspended the semi?

[hibee_girl]

Will Porto be suspended the semi?

If it was a straight red he'll probably be suspended for the game on Saturday but I'm not 100% sure on that

[Not In The Know]

any chance Mcgregor will be fit?

[Gmack7]

any chance Mcgregor will be fit?

or Boyle and Gray?

[Pretty Boy]

Hibs, Hearts, Celtic and Rangers in the last 4. When did that last happen?

[cabbageandribs1875]

what's the odds for a Hibs v Heartz final :wink:

[Hibeesmad]

Wish we had got Hearts

[Diclonius]

what's the odds for a Hibs v Heartz final :wink:

High.

When do we find out what time the game's on? Got a train down to London that weekend so need to know when to leave.

[Eyrie]

2nd and 3rd November.

Hope we're the 3rd. I've already been pre-booked for a family get together on the Saturday.

Could be wrong here but think any cards, irrespective of colour, only apply to the competition in which they were received. If that's the case Porto will miss semi final.

[GGTTH07]

Really hope it's the Saturday. Better day out!

[Glory Lurker]

What end of Hampden will we get? [rolling eyes smiley]

If it’s a straight red it’s usually the next game they miss but I’m not sure if that’s just violent conduct or not :dunno:

They change the rules so much I really don’t know anymore! :greengrin

If violent conduct he will miss the league game on Saturday, and therefore be OK for the semi.

The Saturday will be a 12.30 kick off. Is there a chance the Sunday could be 4pm?

[we are hibs]

Chances of us only getting 12k tickets?...


After celtics roaring and greeting last time. I hope the SPFL are sensible and give us half the allocation. Any tickets we dont sell would probably go to celtic but as long as everyone who wants one in the hibs support can get one then there shouldnt be a big issue

That's a very good question, a bit longer ago than it should've been would be my answer.

I’d say if the SPFL were being sensible they should hand us about 16k and give the rest to Celtic.

We’ll not take anymore than 12k

We tried this last time and took half and ended up embarrassing ourselves with massive gaps

That was to do with the way the tickets were sold. If they had been sold block by block it wouldve been fine but instead we sold them for both north and south stands which meant there was no way to seggregate fans.

[B.H.F.C]

We’ll get half the main stand and as much of behind the goals as we need, which won’t be all of it IMO.

[Sammy7nil]

what's the odds for a Hibs v Heartz final :wink:

Probably get about 16\1 in High St bookie it should be at least 33/1 .

Best chance is two nil nils and pens :greengrin

That’s because people want to be in the north stand, we’ll not get that option this time so it won’t matter. Hopefully we can sell most of behind the goals and with all our fans close together should help us create a better atmosphere

Your easily embarrassed. I want to sit in the best seats, not 500 yards behind the goal down the front. Won’t be chuffed if we don’t get tickets in the north stand.

Prepare to not be chuffed then because there’s no chance whatsoever of that happening

[danhibees1875]

Hot ball cold ball.

My favourite bit about these posts is that it works both ways. If they'd been drawn against each other we'd have had the "no surprise there - make sure to avoid each other in the final". :greengrin

[hfc rd]

Got a feeling we will get the Sunday and the Hun derby will be the Saturday. Don’t know why, just gut instinct.

If they are being sensible they will give us 12k from the south round the back of the west.

We sold about 12k when we had a good team and a chance 2 years ago. We'll be doing well to take 10k this time.

If it's violent conduct doesn't he miss the next game in any competition (Saturday) plus one more game in the competition he was sent off in (semi)?

[hibby6270]

My iPad calendar has already updated.
Wiped the St Mirren game and replaced it with Celtic game on Sat 2nd Nov - k.o. 3pm.
Sure this will change.:rolleyes:

What happened to the boycott 🤔

[hibby6270]

I'll answer my own question :greengrin

No, there's no issue with European games this year :aok:

True - but there is full League programme on the Wednesday before - 30th Oct.

[hibee_girl]

That won’t matter.

We’re playing an early Saturday kick off this week after a Wednesday midweek game.

[.Sean.]

Wonder when we’ll find out dates as I need to arrange cover for work

[hibee_girl]

Dates last year were announced two days after the quarter finals so fingers crossed we find out soon

[we are hibs]

Are you talking to me? I never said i was boycotting.

[HH81]

Do you think Hibs will get half the ground as normal?

Hope it's the Saturday game.

No chance. Be lucky if we take 10k to the game.

[Antifa Hibs]

If it was Huns v Aberdeen i'd expect that to be the Sunday but with little chance of trouble between our game the the hun/wee hun game it'll be 50/50 whether its Saturday or Sunday.

Half 5 on the Saturday or 3pm on the Sunday. None of this 12 oclock bollocks.

Regarding tickets after our last showing at Hampden we'll have unfortunately done oursevles out of the north stand and likely to get the south stand and two thirds of the rangers end i'd say.

[Onceinawhile]

Yeh, we'll not get the full 25K and rightly so, as we'll never sell it.

Won't stop people with no intention of going to the game complaining about it though.

[Daydreamer]

Pretty sure we will have the Saturday game as Celtic will have to fly out to Italy as they play Lazio on the early kick off the Thursday after and it will get them the extra day for arrangements and flights. rangers are at home to Porto at 8pm.

[Bangkok Hibby]

This has been talked about for years hasn't it but simple odds shows there's no shenanigans at the draws.

Celtic, Rangers, Hibs and Hearts get to the semis

Celtic get drawn out first leaves a 2 in 3 chance they'll be drawn against Hibs or Hearts and only a 1 in 3 chance they'll play Rangers
Hibs or Hearts get drawn out first leaves a 2 in 3 chance they'll be drawn against Celtic or Rangers and only a 1 in 3 chance it'll be the other Edinburgh side

simples.

[franks]

Agree the draw is not fixed although some may find that hard to believe.

[Peevemor]

In the 70s & 80s it was pretty clear that there was something dodgy going on.

Here are the SC semi draws involving both Celtic and Rangers.

From what I remember, they never seemed to draw each other in the earlier rounds either.

1971 Rangers/Hibs - Celtic/Aidrie
1972 Celtic/Kilmarnock - Hibs/Rangers
1973 Rangers/Ayr - Celtic/Dundee
1977 Rangers/Hearts - Celtic/Dundee
1980 Rangers/Aberdeen - Celtic/Hibs
1983 Aberdeen/Celtic - Rangers/St Mirren
1989 Rangers/St Johnstone - Celtic/Hibs
1992 Rangers/Celtic - Airdrie/Hearts

Things have been different since the 90s.

[EI255]

Hope it's the Saturday game.

It WILL be the Saturday game.

Sky seem to think so too.

Strange as Sky don’t have the broadcast rights for the League Cup

[Blaster]

I wonder with BT no longer having the Saturday 5.30 premiership game if we may get an evening time rather than lunchtime?

[hibee_girl]

That’s just a default, it’ll not be a Saturday 3pm kick off

Good shout.

Bournemouth v Man U 12.30 BT on the Saturday. Free's up the 5.30pm slot for one of them hopefully.

I've been trying to find evidence of anyone admitting anything dodgy went on at the draws. Pretty sure it would have come out in someones autobiography by now. Until I can find that I'll stick with the odds. Happy to be proven wrong though but it's all theory and conspiracy stuff I feel.

The Old Firm avoided playing each other for about 50 years or so in semi final draws and given they got to semi finals regularly the odds were akin to winning every lottery in the world and being struck by a meteor all on the same day. :greengrin

There is absolutely no doubt that the football authorities in Glasgow helped out the Glasgow teams in draws. They even have an end each at the supposed National Stadium in Glasgow.

In days before live tv they were never shown live and were done in smoke filled rooms at Hampden.

Sequences will always occur, flip a coin 10000 times and there will be loads of times it lands the same way up mulitple times. Take a run of 10 heads in a row in isolation and the guy calling tails will think he's getting cheated.

[hibee-boys]

We'll get half the South, behind the goals and they'll not sell out, no danger we'll request half the stadium.

[we are hibs]

Hibs v celtic is the saturday and the kick off will be after 5pm.

The draws were done in private a guy came on after the 10:00 news and told us Celtic were playing someone other than Rangers :greengrin Fast forward draws live in TV the uglies drawn together lots. I believe the they were not fixed :wink:

Reported in the sun as the likely kick off time.

Nothing is confirmed but this seems to be the chat from social media, we will KO Saturday Teatime with Rangers v Hearts on the Sunday
