2020-21 season non-Hibs games thread

Shankland ain’t doing much for Dundee Utd this season. Quick enough to get praise but I haven’t seen a lot of criticism.

[Iggy Pope]

Would it not melt the synthetic surface?

Have they relocated to Mercury?

How hot do you think it is like? :greengrin

It will have to be warm to melt the ice/thaw the ground

There's no criticism because he isn't a Hibs player. Guaranteed that there would be a thread 20 pages long by now.

The co commentator on St J TV is kicking every ball. Quite funny 🙂

Shocking eh, undersoil heating is a requirement, even though its plastic pitch the heating should be on...

Have they got pre-cons for that!

It’s not like they’ve been caught out with a last minute frost.

I would have thought that one of the mandatory requirements for allowing these poor excuses for pitches would be a system that guarantees within reason that all weather conditions are catered for and all games should go ahead.

Me too. I was being a bit flippant.

Unlike Nisbet, Shankland hasn't gotten any better by moving up a level and probably Championship is where he should've stayed. Watched the Celtic v Dundee U game and noticed how unfit McNulty still looks, he was badly out of shape the last time he was here and he still looks like that, could do with losing around a stone in weight.

Can see McNulty just dropping and dropping his level from here. The Scottish Championship beckons when his loan at Utd ends imo.

I know. But at the same time I don’t see what the issue would have been with just playing them at 6 like the rest of the games.

Not that I care, just didn’t even consider there would have been games on earlier! Must be a long time since there’s been 3pm kick offs on a weekday when it’s not a holiday I’d think.

I'm missing the 1st 30 mins of tonight's game because I'm picking the wife up from work, 6pm is a pain also, could've had all games on at 7pm, considering none are on main tv and only club tv.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Pretty poor fare from Liverpool tonight again after Sundays lack of shots on target. Loads of possession not being translated into goals (might end up doing a Man U from last night I suppose), keeps it interesting at the top of the table though.

[Magpie]

Man City will have the title wrapped up by April imo.

I thought that initially. After seeing the replays it was soft but I reckon it was a penalty.

Nah, that was a penalty. Allowed Pogba in front and then there was contact.

United penalty. :greengrin

You know it's not a pen when Neville sounds embrassed talking about it.

[Sir David Gray]

Definite foul.

[GreenCastle]

Not a penalty for me.

Yeah villa defender got wrong aide but Pogba used his back left to trip himself up. He knew what he was doing. He signalled to Shaw to go down only a few mins before.

[Sir David Gray]

You know it's not a pen when Neville sounds embrassed talking about it.

Only for Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Tell you what though, if you switch to Premier league channel it is like the fans are at the game. Awesome feature. Sky have nailed it.

[JimBHibees]

Definite foul.

Nonsense. Pogba created the minimal contact and fell over as per

[greenlex]

Pogba kicked himself FFS

[JimBHibees]

Nah, that was a penalty. Allowed Pogba in front and then there was contact.

The contact was by Pogba though and very minimal no foul for me.

[The 90+2]

Grealish and Super John seem to be improving every single game. Would like Utd to go for both.

[HH81]

How are villa losing this. FFS.

Man u are like The Rangers.

[J-C]

I didn't think it was a pen, Pogba went down very easily with minimum contact. Its been a really good game with both teams playing quick passing attacking football, Villa deserves point. McGinn getting plaudits from all pundits, showing he's very comfortable playing at a high level.

[The 90+2]

Wash your mouth out. That is clearly Chelsea :greengrin

[HH81]

Grealish and Super John seem to be improving every single game. Would like Utd to go for both.

They will be selling Pogba soon won't they? Should get about 20 million to put towards the 60 million needed for McGinn.

[The Modfather]

United penalty. :greengrin

Man U seem to get a disproportionate amount of penalties. Wonder what the actual stats are and what the records are.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

MVG getting absolutely horsed. Pleasing as they say :greengrin

[GlesgaeHibby]

Been a great game this.

If they hadn’t signed Van De Beek they’d have had another spare £40m.

Villa looking likely again now.

Pen number 2 coming up shortly.

Ref incredibly lenient to cynical United fouls, standing in front of free kicks, taking out players etc

[HH81]

Matic given away about 5 fouls in 5 mins. Gets a cuddle from the ref.

Watching this with no particular leanings either way I think that there are some of you that clearly dislike Utd and are seeing the game on that basis!

Think it was a good game, Villa were really good. Thought the penalty was probably fair enough though and there really wasn’t much else controversial with how the game was officiated.

Man Utd 0-0 Chelsea
Man Utd 1-6 Spurs
Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal

If United can beat the ‘top 6’ teams they can put in a good fight, I just can’t see it happening though.

Liverpool game will be interesting in a few weeks.

[GreenCastle]

No chance Man U are winning the league - but confidence is growing.

Arsenal / Chelsea / Spurs fans must be raging as they are all under performing and a great opportunity to be challenging.

Man City still strong and with games in hand but the Covid missing players etc may become a distraction / issue.

Good that Leeds and Villa are attacking teams - makes the league better as well coached sides.

[Hibernia&Alba]

It was a good game with chances for both teams. United's defensive vulnerability still clear, and I think that will be the key to any real title challenge, but they have plenty going forward. A couple of centre backs away from being a good side again, IMHO.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Enjoyable game that. Glad to see United challenging Liverpool. Should be a good season down there

I fancy City to win it. Spurs throwing away leads in the last 10 minutes of games against teams like Newcastle, West Ham and Palace is why they won’t win the league. Chelsea’s big signings are yet to hit off and Arsenal are still way off the teams just mentioned.

I have said for years, supporting Man u is the same as supporting Rangers or Celtic in Scotland. I live in a place where supporting them is all about wanting to be a glory hunter. Hated them ever since.

It is nice to no longer see every 2nd person in a man u shirt though. Now they are no longer winning titles.

There’s a particular issue that I think makes the Celtic and Rangers comparisons a bit different.

In most countries though all teams will have local support and traditionally more successful teams will get a wider interest.

Every team wants to grow their potential audience beyond their core local support.

[greenlex]

I could t give a toss either way too to be honest. Called it as I saw it.

[HH81]

Huddersfield and Leeds.

Least they were in hiding during that time.

Nobody would wear a Man United shirt in Leeds? That's like wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt in Alabama; you're just asking to be found in a ditch.

[Hiber-nation]

Just caught up with the Man U Villa game. Villa so unlucky, they were a joy to watch, maybe just a top class striker away from being right up there challenging although I like Watkins. Ref was incredibly lenient to Man U, what do you have to do to get booked?

[erin go bragh]

Enjoyed that game . Villa probably deserved a point but Man U looked dangerous and their counter attacks were lightening fast . If Man U signed Grealish and McGinn I’d fancy them to run Liverpool close .

[OtleyHibs]

Lived in Leeds for 17 years now, there was a definite rise in man city shirts for a while, then Liverpool and like you say it was all Leeds pre lockdown 😁

Work with a few Man Utd fans too, that rivalry can pick up again now and I can sit back in the office and enjoy watching it all as I could not give a monkeys about either 😁

I've no preference at all for either team but that is never ever a penalty kick

A good day for Scottish football on TV today - Old Firm at 12.30, Hibs v Livvi the main event at 3 then Dundee v Hearts on the Beeb at 7.20.

Will head out for a good walk this morning then settle down by fireside for rest of the day. Hoping for a Celtic win just to make things more interesting at the top and a Dundee win for entertainment value, but as long as Hibs so the business that’s all that matters
:flag:

[flash]

Fascinating match at lunchtime. Surely anything other than a Celtic win and the title belongs to The Rangers.
Wonder if an empty Ibrox will help the away team here or if the Rangers steamroller will just bash on regardless.
Hopefully an away win to keep things interesting but if it goes the other way the Celtic meltdown will be a joy to watch.

If Celtic can keep it tight at the back, which has been their problem this season, I think they could nick it with that starting 11. That Soro looks a player.

Weren't Celtic missing four of their best players due to coronavirus the last time they played Sevco? And Griffifth's was still getting up to speed. It will be intersting to see how they get on with all these players available.

And how much I want Celtic to win.

Or rather - how much I want to see Rangers lose.

It annoyed me at first but then I remembered worrying if Darren McGregor would cope with the step up to Hibs coming from a club that only had one challenge cup to its name so I know what he means 😁

Andy Walker is a muppet

[calumhibee1]

Celtic been the better side here :agree:

[Jim44]

By far.

[Since452]

Yup. It's the provincial derby today

[One Day Soon]

The Old Firm are provincial teams too Walker ya ****.

Utter clown. Walker, not you.

[SaulGoodman]

Some save that

[J-C]

The wee fella Soro is a cracking looking player.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Top class save

[jeffers]

Utter weapon of a man but McGregor is a great keeper.

[The Spaceman]

Sevco looking like schoolboys here against a full-strength Celtic side. Should be 2-0 down already.

[calumhibee1]

What a save from McGregor. Griffiths is still on his day the best striker in this league imo. Nobody can come close to striking a ball like him.

[EdinMike]

Even for his age pulling out saves like that, you just have to say it’s brilliant.

[Sir David Gray]

I really detest Allan McGregor but he's some goalkeeper.

What a save that was.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Will Celtic pay later for these missed chances? So often it happens.

[sleeping giant]

Nobody sent off yet. Still plenty time though.

[Aldo]

McGregor with some excellent saves keeping them in the game here

Mental to think that some folk on here still think we'd be able to get Leigh on loan lol.

[Heisenberg]

McGregor kept the huns in it so far.

[NC1875]

Cant be bothered with Celtic but detest rangers and Gerrard so hope they get pumped and Celtic go on to win the league.

Would be Hilarious after the huns think they’ve won the league already.

[DH1875]

Does Walter Smith have a job with rangers? If Not, how's he allowed to be at the game?

[The Modfather]

Celtc having to win appears to have liberated them whereas Rangers happy not to lose appears to have had the opposite affect on them.

[marinello59]

He is probably doing media work...possibly Rangers TV?

Probably say he’s a janitor.

Literally just said the same. Far as I know he has no job with them.

Defo a pundit on Huns TV. Maybe a non-exec as well?

We saw how well Celtic can play in the first half of the cup final where they dominated. It’s what happens if something goes against them that will be the real test for them today.

Yep. All set up for the sucker punch.

Aye Griffiths has never scored from there before 🙄

[J-C]

Apart from breaking up play 2-3 times and Rangers hardly been in Celtic's box, have you not seen him the last few games, keeping out the club captain in a derby game.

[Jim44]

Is he not on the board nowadays?

[Mon Dieu4]

Although Celtc have been by far the better team they haven't exactly made any clear cut chances, just a few shots from range

[Andy74]

Is he not on the board nowadays?

No and he is on Rangers TV today.

[Jim44]

I hope Celtic don’t regret failing to cash in on their dominance in this half.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Spurs 2-0 Leeds

Pleasing

Still have flashbacks to the goal that never was in the Edinburgh Derby. 8 million yards from goal and he still managed to welt it in with the might of Zeus.

Possibly the best goal I’ve ever saw in the flesh if you forget about the fact it somehow didn’t count.

What a strike.

[Aldo]

Gotta love zircon Thomson on Newco TV with the Soro challenge making it sound worse than it actually was yet fails to see anything wrong with Morelos challenge and it was mistimed

Sky showed him standing at what looked like a directors box window midway through the first half. Didn't look like he working for TV but who knows, could be wrong.

He was in the studio pre match, not doing commentary.

Studio guest on Rangers TV.

[calumhibee1]

Celtic could live to regret that.

Should be a couple ahead, they’ve been dominant.

They need to win this Rangers know that so they will wait for Celtic to push on for the win and hit them on the counter attack

Nah i dont usually watch their games. Haven't been impressed with him and will be lucky to stay on park at this rate.

[SaulGoodman]

Celtic 0 Rangers 0 Celtic 0??

Rangers doing well when you consider they’re playing two Celtics.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Yes, it's set up for the sucker punch. McGregor kept Rangers in that half.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Celtc need all three points today. If that first half performance is the best that they have got, The Rangers won't be too concerned about the second half.

[Vault Boy]

Only caught the last twenty minutes of that because my mind is on the bigger derby later today, but Celtic should certainly be winning this. Hope they do, the Sevco meltdown would be delightful.

[ancient hibee]

Rangers playing it like a European tie. Celtic have had plenty of the ball but have nobody who can get a decent ball into the box from out wide.As Celtic get more desperate there’ll be gaps for Rangers to exploit in the second half.

[Billy Whizz]

Rangers playing for a draw from the 1st minute
Game needs a Celtic goal though, will open it up

[Magpie]

Celtic by far the better team.

[Magpie]

Harry Kane has scored against every premier league team he has faced (30).

[calumhibee1]

On the flip side, I could see an on-pitch Celtic meltdown if they go behind. Wouldn’t be surprised to see one or two reds if Rangers take the lead.

[The 90+2]

All Celtic. Lennon has finally got a tactic right. Gerrard three up top is daft as. Missing Arfield. Only one winner in this.

[BT58]

Shock, horror. Morrelos tackle not discussed at ht !!!
B

[calumhibee1]

I can see Rangers changing something at half time whether that’s personnel or formation. Can’t see them being dominated so easily second half.

[Magpie]

Celtic win and follow up with winning their games in hand it’s suddenly 4 points with two old firm games to go. Season far from over if they come through this second half.

[Since452]

It's like choosing between food poisoning and herpes but hope Celtic win it. Only because I despise the huns so much. Growing up in the 90's I'd forgotten how arrogant those knuckle draggers could be

Usually I’d always have agreed but seeing Celtic blow the 10 in a row that they’ve told everyone they’re going to win for 5 years or so now would be absolutely hilarious.

Them blowing it would hurt them a lot more than them winning it would hurt Rangers. So I’m opting for maximum hurt :greengrin

[Hibernia&Alba]

Spurs 3-0 Leeds

It's brave that Leeds always go full attack, but they will take some heavy beatings along the way.

[easty]

Roofe must be injured, otherwise why would they leave Morelos on who has been absolutely honking.

[GreenCastle]

Celtic by far the better team today...BUT if they don’t win this game or even lose it then the league will be gone.

This game has showing that if you have players who are confident on the ball and decent at 1v1 attacking situations you can really get at Rangers and cause them problems.

Yes, this is probably a reality check for anyone who thinks Rangers are miles better than Celtic.

Yet, with all the circumstances Rangers are probably a goal away from winning the league.

[Since452]

Was kind of hoping Griffiths followed through there

[J-C]

McGregor rolling around when Griffiths goes near him is embarrassing, then the shouting at the ref, horrible player.

[calumhibee1]

One game proves very little. We went to Ibrox and gave rangers a game. Doesn’t mean they’re not miles better than us.

Rangers are 7 ahead halfway through the season if you discount Celtics games in hand - which is of course being massively kind to Celtic. They’ve got a 20 goal better goal difference. Rangers also strolled though their European group whilst Celtic looked absolutely miles out their depth.

Rangers have shown themselves to be significantly better than Celtic this season.

[EdinMike]

This games actually been fairly enjoyable, maybe it’s because it’s being played at a decent pace or maybe it’s not hearing the usual bile from the stands...

Biton has chucked it

[hibee_girl]

Bitton sent off

[Jones28]

What a ****ing moron

[calumhibee1]

Red for Bitton. Bit harsh imo.

Also... this probably means Duffy coming on :greengrin

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

What kind of attempt to tackle is that??

[calumhibee1]

Sitter from Rangers

[SHODAN]

Not convinced that's a red.

[Mon Dieu4]

Daft *******, boy in the middle was going to cover as well

[easty]

What a ****ing moron

Morelos had a long way to go, and was already blowing out his fat arse.

Very stupid from Biton

Was that a goal scoring opportunity?

Game changer, unfortunately.

Yes, I know the position and the circumstances that got them there but as players, coaches, whatever, Rangers are not miles ahead of Celtic.

Suspect it is largely done now though.
