It is a disgrace though? They’ve had plenty time to get a good working system in place which can handle demand & they are supplying to 11/12 teams in the top flight. People have paid hundreds of pounds for, what’s going to be the only means of watching the games

That being said, all of the TV infrastructure is in place for the team's already so if this streaming system doesn't work come the start of the season it will purely come down to how much money the company has spent on server infrastructure. If it doesn't work it's because they are cheaping out.

It's also not like people are expecting a very difficult task to be done flawlessly for nothing. In fact in this day and age it should be trivial for a company specialising in this field, plus people are paying hundreds of pounds for the service.

Things will always go wrong though, and I'm glad they are testing things out now so fingers crossed it's good to go next week.

It’s Hibs that we pay our money to though and it’s Hibs that have ‘guaranteed’ we’ll see every home game on Hibs TV.

No point in getting worked up about something that might not be an issue though. Save that for next Saturday night.

I thought I'd test it a few weeks ago didn't have and HDMI so borrowed my bits from his xbox. Connect it to the laptop and a scart socket on the back of the TV. Ensure you change the chanel to HDMI on the TV log into HibsTV on the laptop and off you go.

The Motherwell response is 100% correct.

People think "smart tv" are all the same - they are not.

For anyone who has an IPTV contract, they will tell you that some Smart TVs work, some dont - hence most people use something like a Firestick to get hooky TV.

The Hibs TV stream is similar but as has been mentioned in many post above, its not insurmountable - HDMI cable laptop to TV / Chromecast etc etc, none of it is particularly difficult.

And certainly not "disgraceful"

[Keith_M]

If you're going to connect your laptop to your TV via HDMI and you've never done it before, there's a number of vital steps you need to take first.


Insert the Dongle into the Thatchbracket.
Ensure the lighting in the room is at 47.5% of Antibellum
Switch on the Crotchmuffle (it's directly under the Dipswitch)
Insert HDMi cable into TV/Monitor
Perform a 360 degree turn (try not to fall over)
Insert the other end into PC/Laptop
Wait exactly three minutes (if you wait too long, you'll have to disconnect everything and go back to the start).
If that all works, go to channel 857 and wait for further instructions.

If you want the simplest and most reliable option, just use a cable.

Mirroring via a Fire stick will probably give a result that looks identical, but there are more things that can potentially go wrong (audio/video sync, wireless connection being patchy etc) and there's more to set up (need the right app on the Fire stick).

Yeh just plug the firestick into your tv. Then use the browser to go to HibsTV. If you are using your Laptop it will still be via Wifi i presume? Your Wifi signal is the weakest link in all this. I have the newer firestick plugged into the Projector. From that i can watch other TV channels (via an IPTV source), Netflix, Prime, HibsTV. Quality is perfect. Test is now though.... dont wait till next Sat!

Based on bingo originally saying 'hibstv up and running on the laptop … connecting it to the Firestick' I assumed this was the kind of setup he was planning.

It's been a while since I've had any need to do this sort of thing with a Fire stick – if it works well in a browser directly on the stick then that's a very simple option.

It does make a difference. Anyone coming in through the NI ports and then into ROI do not need to quarantine.It based on where you're travelling from, not your route.

No it’s not. It might be daft but that’s the vagaries of the Irish border.

If you want to travel from the UK tomorrow to Dublin, if you fly from Edinburgh to Dublin you would be asked to quarantine for 14 days.

If you flew from Edinburgh to Belfast and then travelled to Dublin you do not need to quarantine.

Technically they could sneak in that way seeing as there’s no checks at the border. But as you say it’s where they have come from. That’s why our green list of countries are confusing, as to get to some from Ireland eg Monaco you have to travel via France which would require quarantine

It is not just technically, the ‘rules’ only cover the ROI ports so they wouldn’t be sneaking anywhere. That said I can see politically why they wouldn’t take advantage of the different rules.

Final preparations are underway with the new season kick off in ten days’ time. We are aware you will be keen to understand how to access the matches and we are working on this for you.

We are working through the final technical elements to ensure that you have all you need to be up and running ahead of the new season. We will be providing you with a guide of what to do in advance of the opening game and how to log on for the live match when it arrives. We are aiming to have this information with you by the end of the week and we will be running a test event next week to give you the opportunity to log in and be comfortable with the set up. We will let you know the details of this as soon as we have them.

In the meantime, can you please ensure that all of your contact information is up to date. It is really important we have updated details like emails, contact numbers and addresses so that we can contact you with any key information ahead of the kick off.

Many thanks for your continued support and we’ll be in touch again by the end of the week.

Hi Robbo,

Alan was there for the closed-door bounce game against Hamilton to run through the new procedures for photographers.

As you can imagine, there are a lot of additional precautions for a small team of staff to put in place.

Coverage will be back to normal - with some improvements, we hope - for the new season. In the meantime we're working towards getting that stuff ready.

Thanks for the reply and not having a go at you personally as your doing a great job but i just dont see why it would be hard to tweet the teams for both halfs.

Its great to see young players like Doig in the photos but have no idea if he played 5mins or 90mins really.

Nah, you're fine. I understand. It's been so long and everyone's desperate for a bit of normality and to see/hear more from the team.

The games are more training exercises than normal pre-season games, which explains in part why it's been a little more low-key than usual. There's no-one from the small media team at Pittodrie, for example. As others have said, it's tight in terms of who is at the games.

Things will ramp up next week and not before time.

Nothing wrong with Horgan apart from his consistency, just too many mediocre games that pass him by, when he's on it he's a very good player.

I listened to a podcast a couple of weeks ago with Stevie Mallan who said Horgan was the hardest working player at the club. He also said he’s the hardest player on himself too, any wee mistake and he tears himself to bits over it.

[Clarence]

Horgan is a good dribbler and can strike it well. His passing is the problem. I can imagine that he was the best player in his team growing up and just didn’t pass it to anyone. If he could just play a sensible, well timed, direct pass, he’d be one of the first names in the team sheet every week.

What a hit

[The Modfather]

Great to see horgan scoring, hopefully proves a few people wrong this season.

Horgan has to deliver a whole lot more, and more consistently, than he has so far. He wasn’t a cheap punt on a raw talent like Boyle, we paid a fee for him and he will be on a wage to match that fee. Poor value for money so far and one of the first I’d be looking to move on if possible, IMO.

[Peevemor]

Absolute belter of a hit from Horgan, hope he can replicate it when things start for real!Maybe he's shy and we should keep the doors closed?

[04Sauzee]

There isn't a goalkeeper thats stopping that btw

[RoYO!]

I have a lot of time for Horgan. The flair players are always going to be the ones that are affected most notably by a dip in form or a lack of belief. They are also the ones most likely to make things happen. An on fire Horgan would be a massive plus for us.

[04Sauzee]

0-0 HT with The Rangers and they certainly aren't getting it all their own way

Completely disagree re moving him on, he’s one of our most dangerous players. Admittedly, i’m a bit of a daryl horgan cheerleader on here and I appreciate he had a poor season last year but I really do think the best is yet to come from him. So much ability it just needs a good manager to get the best out him.

No trying to be a dick here but isn’t what the club just tweeted exactly what people are asking for some insight not an official match approach? If the guy filming that can be affiliated to the official media accounts what’s wrong with him giving a brief update on teams and subs? Can’t imagine there would be that sensitive elements to a team selection, if killi for example wanted to see how Hibs set up in pretty sure they could call DW who would give them the low down.

All seems a bit daft imo, your biggest customer has a need to get insight into what’s going on and here we are a week before the season starts and we’ve been feeding of scraps. I’m open to be convinced that I’m wrong here but can’t see any real reason why we would have this scenario unless it’s of our own doing.

The guy filming is our head of Performance Analysis so I'd have thought he'll be too busy and focused to be live tweeting the game.

I also don't remember any of our bounce games getting live updates - they're not officially tracked like friendlies are.

[007]

I listened to a podcast a couple of weeks ago with Stevie Mallan who said Horgan was the hardest working player at the club. He also said he’s the hardest player on himself too, any wee mistake and he tears himself to bits over it.

I like Horgan though he can be inconsistent, like a lot of wingers are. Definitely has scope to improve the defensive side of his game and I understand he can be frustrating e.g. when he overhits a cross, however, he is also capable of producing moments of magic.

The subject of his fitness comes up on here from time to time and I posted the link to Hibs TV below about a year ago.

Once you've logged in, go to11 mins 7 seconds into the pre-match build up. Cliff Pike says that statistically Horgan covers more kilometres per game than any other Hibs player and presumably Cliff 's info is based on GPS tracker data he's been told about by one of the coaches.

So that's Horgan covering more ground in 65-70 minutes compared to everyone else's 90 which backs up what Mallan said about him being hardworking and it explains why he often doesn't last the full 90, because he's knocked his pan in.

You kidding me on do you honestly think he is analysing the game live that’s a retrospective activity the only people doing things live are the guys in the dug out.

Regardless of how anyone wants to term these games they are Pre season friendlies albeit in somewhat a different guise ie only teams we can feasibly play due to covid that doesn’t mean we can’t give a relevant level of coverage to the fans im not saying it’s live tweets it’s key information fans would want to know, team, scores etc.

Why is it acceptable that we should all expect nothing especially when the fans have invested so much into clubs in this climate.

If you want to go one further was the tweet we put out of the goal reactive to the points made in here around lack of coverage or something we had always planned to do. The pessimist in me would say the former.

I tend to agree with the main point of your post, the lack of updates from the “football” side of things has been pretty much nothing but the first part of this post isn’t true at all. For example, Calvin joins the team and rest of the coaching staff at half time, where I assume he’s giving them the low down on what he has analysed in the first half

Agree about how the games are being termed. Other clubs managing to report on them, give updates, get reaction etc. Regardless of them being a bounce game, friendly or whatever. Good that we at least uploaded the goal today.

But all we’ve heard from player/management have been a couple of things that Sky Sports have done and we’ve retweeted. With the exception of the new signing interviews. Would be good to get some insight.

[Bronson]

You kidding me on do you honestly think he is analysing the game live that’s a retrospective activity the only people doing things live are the guys in the dug out.

Regardless of how anyone wants to term these games they are Pre season friendlies albeit in somewhat a different guise ie only teams we can feasibly play due to covid that doesn’t mean we can’t give a relevant level of coverage to the fans im not saying it’s live tweets it’s key information fans would want to know, team, scores etc.

Why is it acceptable that we should all expect nothing especially when the fans have invested so much into clubs in this climate.

I really don’t think it’s that big a deal that the club hasn’t live tweeted meaningless friendlies. Bigger things to worry about.

No Docherty in the Rangers line up for their game Vs CoventrySay what you want about Gerard but the facts he's posting the team sheet on twitter while also filming the game for highlights later is pretty impressive

That’s it and apologies if it’s came across having a go at people certainly not my intention especially Kenny who has been great at taking the time out to interact with people on here myself included previously.

Have we actually had any interviews from JR on the official channels so far I’ve not seen anything but probably will have missed it if so? I’m hoping we have as like you say we have seen the sky sports stuff and if we are comfortable allowing them to EM there is no reason why we can’t have more content on Hibs tv of this nature.

Says it all. It can be done! Iit would have been a nice gesture to have allowed fans to watch a pre season friendly given what we have been through and tested the new log in!
Remember the shambles last season when the new turnstile system failed, it took weeks, no months to get right. We should have used a friendly game weeks ago to test the new log in for live games. Anyone else think it will all go smoothly at 2:55 next Sat when 11000 fans are trying to log inTo a new system. There is some kind of trial next week but I hope this is not too late.

And that’s pretty much my point. As someone pointed out it’s not that big a deal for some but I’d argue that supporter engagement is paramount and I look at everything Motherwell do and can’t help thinking it’s brilliant and they seem to nail it. We are less than a week away from the start of the season and I don’t feel we have done enough on that front personally. I’m also not confident next week will go off without a hitch given the previous examples you have outlined.

I’m probably a bit more critical as a lot of the principles I’m saying are what I do for a living in my job albeit a different sector altogether.

No, I'm not kidding you. He has to capture the whole game to do his job. I'm not suggesting he's editing the footage there and then, but he's certainly taking it. Honestly.

The distinction is important, though. They are bounce games, not pre season friendlies.

What is the distinction between the 2 then that makes the points I made any different?

It’s a great point re Motherwell. Their coverage is second to none and their fans must feel so engaged and buzzing for the start of the season. I think I read somewhere it’s only a team of 2/3 that bash out their content.

Look forward to us ramping things up and seeing the new HibsTV experience.

[Vault Boy]

The difference being they are essentially a piece of training, fans have never been able to attend them (in person or digitally) and we have never usually provided live updates about them.

Friendlies are put on records and fans have access to them. I know the circumstances are different for obvious reasons, but they're still just bounce games.

FWIW as a Hibs fan of course I'd like to see some footage too, but I can accept that in a world of staff consultations, Covid regulations in stadiums and closed doors - that there will be limited scope to provide that.

[Mcpakeisgod]

Nice to see Horgan score a cracker ! Hopefully he can take some confidence from it into this season . He tries hard, head goes down a bit but you can see he’s got technical ability

[SMAXXA]

They are termed different but are played in exactly the same way and as competitive as any friendly. I will again defer to Motherwell who are in exactly the same position as Hibs yet their level of engagement and exposure towards these games has been far better. Fans have been starved of any resemblance of Hibs games for months now and I believe we could have done more and not hiding behind the terminology of a bounce game and a friendly it’s really no different.

[King Cosell]

Anyone know what the formation was v Aberdeen? 3-5-2?

No they aren’t.

[Keith_M]

When are they doing the test run for the new season? Surely Monday would be ideal, as there would be a big demand to watch it.

I agree with the poster that if Motherwell can show a game (whether it's termed a friendly or bounce game) then surely Hibs could do the same thing.

[B.H.F.C]

No they aren’t.

What’s the difference? Except there being nobody there to watch.

[bingo70]

Read that the Rangers bounce game against Motherwell went ahead without linesmen as they hadn’t had their test results back yet.

I’m guessing for that to be given the go ahead it must have been classed as a bounce game rather than a friendly.

Exceptional circumstances I know but maybe one example of a difference between a bounce game and a friendly? Even if it is just in terms of attitude to how the game is approached?

Think that was their B team game at their training ground.

I’m not expecting Hibs to be streaming a game or producing highlights from a game at East Mains or anything daft like that. I even get that someone isn’t going to travel up to Aberdeen yesterday.

But the likes of the Hamilton game during the week at ER. A bit of engagement on the back of that. Other teams are managing to do it, regardless of what they want to call the game.

I think tomorrow's kick off is 1:30pm, so most of us will be working.

Different story if it had been an evening kick off.

You would think wirh the background our new owner has, he would be all over this side of things.

Moaning about bounce games not being broadcast.....................

Some people need to do a wee reset on how they think about Hibs.

For some, their constant moaning about everything - whether its actually happened, reported in the paper, rumoured, not happened - is getting tedious.

If there is even the hint of a glitch next week - even if it happens to every other clubs stream too and is very obviously nothing to do with Hibs - there will be those who dive on here desperate to continue their Hibs bashing.

Its beyond parody now with some posters - always the same ones too.

[B.H.F.C]

Watched a clip of an interview with Joe Lewis on the back of yesterday. Seemed to think it was competitive and felt like a ‘proper’ game.

From Kilmarnocks latest update on closed door streaming;

“As we start the campaign on the road, we know fans will be eager to hear about any access to watching the team when we play away from home and we will provide a separate update on this subject on Monday.”

I try not to “bash” the club and maybe the social media team have been kept on furlough or redundancies but that’s speculation of course. I understand that for some people knowing how friendlies go etc doesn’t matter however to others it does, it allows us to get excited about hibs again and to feel a bit normal. You can look at literally every other team in the leagues twitter and they’ve match updates, player interviews etc. Don’t get me wrong the production level of some of it isn’t amazing and maybe hibs don’t want to put out a lesser product but in this occasion something is better than nothing. Added to this the club are actively trying to increase on the number of ST we have sold, it would be a hell of a lot easier to shift season tickets if we’d actually heard from a player or our manager since the few days after we made the signings, yes we heard from boyle about his future but that wasn’t a hibs interview it was sky. The club put together this “amazing” package for buying a season ticket and it’s benefits and quite frankly it was re branding what you already got with the added bonus of an improved hibs tv, I for one am expecting a very slick and in depth product when the season starts as it’s what myself and 11.5k others have been promised, the club have already started to slightly change the stand point of one of the incentives from what I can see, originally an incentive was season ticket holders would when possible be able to go and watch an open training session, now there seems to be chat of “online meet and greet” significantly different. I love this club, I love how we play football and how we conduct our business within our means however our interaction with fans over this period has been very very poor.

I agree with this. We were just talking about how poor the clubs attempts to engage with fans has been poor considering the aim to increase season ticket numbers. I dont think we've heard properly from Ross since they returned?!

Oh problem solved! How have Hibs not thought of that. Have you considered a career in business management?

[DTS]

Like I said at the start of my post maybe they are. However the club are actively trying to sell season tickets, having some communication from players/staff would help with this. The thing with the sisters the other day was designed to get people talking and it worked. But you’re telling me we can cut up a 2/3 min video like that but we can’t get a 30 second clip or training or a 30 second interview with Jack Ross, a little bit of detail from games? Priorities, the club cut up a nice promo video to get more people to buy in but have not shown any commitment this far to keeping the already committed fans ticking over.

[Wilson]

Oh problem solved! How have Hibs not thought of that. Have you considered a career in business management?

Is he wrong though? You furlough a staff member because the job isn't there to be done in the current climate. You don't furlough them at the expense of a job that needs doing. Communicating with the customer is everything so open the channels.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Oh problem solved! How have Hibs not thought of that. Have you considered a career in business management?
Not ‘bashing’ the club here, just feel there’s not been much of a build up. For non-season ticket holders there’s no content coming out of the club and no prospect of watching games so forgive me for feeling a bit left behind.

I can do without the sarcasm cheers.

I think some of it is a generational thing with information updates every second. I can still remember buying the green dispatch on a Sat night with the f/t results in the stop press column. There would be carnage on here! 😉

So did the new signing interviews get done by themselves? No reason why we haven’t heard from the manager on how he feels Pre season is going etc, is that such a big ask?

Course you are mate and I’ve also witnessed some right negative posters. I try not to be negative and he really give the benefit of the doubt to Hibs.

To be fair I have probably made this a bigger thing than it is my points around the coverage, grand scheme of things not massive but it’s one of the little bits that can really make a difference especially in this current situation 👍
