2020-21 season non-Hibs games thread

[Moulin Yarns]

Hibs ladies 2 up in the Edinburgh Derby. On alba now.

[Jim44]

I know there was a protest at 1 p.m. Good on them, sometimes civil disobedience is justified, providing it's peaceful. The Glazers deserve it.

....... as long as it’s socially distanced, which it won’t be.

[Scouse Hibee]

Protest is fine, destruction and bother is the work of erseholes. Liverpool have enough of them in their support, glad they’re not there, all hell would break lose.

Monaco 1 Lyon 1 Memphis Depay with a great equaliser for Lyon.

oh wow Monaco could have got a winner there

2-1 Lyon. Lyon have a man sent off, Monaco equalise from the resulting penalty, 10 man Lyon go to the other end and go back in front. Great stuff. 3-2 Lyon

FA Trophy final for 2020 currently playing. Harrogate Town v Concord Rangers at Wembley.

This is last seasons final of course when Harrogate were a non league club so could become the first league club to win the trophy. The odds stacked heavily against Concord Rangers (who I think come from Canvey Island) they havent played a game since February and are two levels below Harrogate who are a League two club and have been playing regularly. Be some feat if Concord could pull this off. 13 minutes gone 0-0 (on BT1 if anyone needs a footy fix). Wembley is empty, I believe when this years Trophy final is played in a few weeks time it is test event with fans allowed in.

Glad I caught your post as I cut BT but it’s on Freeview. I do enjoy my Non League and it’s a real shame they couldn’t get some fans in. I see Hebburn edged out Consett in the Vase final earlier and the EBAC league folks had campaigned hard to get folk at that too.

0-0 at half time, bl00dy good effort from Concord (who after a bit of swatting up on are apparently named after a beach on Canvey Island and have the nickname the Beach Boys, Essex is hardly California but there you go :greengrin)

I took in the Hebburn Consett match, was a good game especially the first half. Two Asian twins, one playing for each team and one up front and the other in defence so they so a lot of each other, that must be unique, what a day for their family.

I don’t think reading the teams to see how loan players are doing counts as in the know to be honest.

I work with a Dunfermline fan too so tend to pay a bit more attention to them to keep up with his chat.

I assume what you really mean is I am being critical of Murray and yes, as far as his Hibs career goes I am. Don’t think he can save his Hibs career by being a regular sub for Dunfermline.

This is true, but what can we do? There will always be big, rich clubs but we're now at the stage of two state owned clubs, drowning in oil money, are playing semi-finals. The next step is something like the Super League. That idea isn't dead; the clubs are biding their time to try again in a different guise.

[Hibernia&Alba]

It was a PLC before. The Glazers bought up the shares required to have control. Only they borrowed the money to buy the shares then transferred the debt onto the club. Why that should be allowed is a very good question, but it's the super wealthy who also make the rules of the financial game.

So essentially the shareholders sold the club down the river.

The Man City owners have embraced the club and fans, millions have been spent in the area on improvements for the locals, the Glazers are corrupt Anercan money men who see Man U as a cash cow. Old Trafford is still in an industrial area and a horrible place to go to.

Now, I’m no lover of them or those who purport to ‘support’ them, but going to Old Trafford isn’t a horrible place to watch a game of football, never in your puff. It’s exceptional.

City v Chelsea this Saturday. City playing to clinch the title and Chelsea playing for top four. Should give an insight to how the teams compare. Foden, Mahrez, Gundogan and Ederson missed out on the semi final recently between the pair.

People need to realise things change.

The standard now is far better than it was back then too

At least 3 of the 4 European finalists are English, with arsenal one goal away from it being 4/4 for the second time in 3 years. Anyone still think that league is overrated?

Thats hardly the point though is it? They weren't champions. Its nothing more than a European super league where the major leagues are over represented at the expense of smaller nations "champions" who just can't compete against the mega millions.

While true, when Spain were absolutely dominating in Europe year after year including internationally, we were told it wasn’t competitive enough and that’s what made the EPL better.

This year there’s absolutely no competition in the EPL, and La Liga has one of the tightest title races we’ve seen in any league in years.

I suppose it depends what people mean by overrated. Perhaps the money the EPL spends on players/contracts is overrated when compared against leagues that don’t pay as much. You will still get EPL teams reaching later stages of Euro comps as they have good players (they should have considering money spent) .

You might have better players and a better product but is it X times better when you compare the cost against other similar products? Put simply, we know that the EPL football is better than SPFL but if you pay someone £250k plus a week are you getting that much better a product than us paying someone £4K a week? It’s all relative.

I’ve not explained myself very well probably and I will add that Man City and the likes are very good teams to watch.

the football on show in that league is certainly not overrated. It’s absolutely world class.

The ‘Football Experience’ for supporters (and that in itself is almost indefinable... it will depend on people’s age, social background, expectations etc) is in my opinion overrated.

...you can add Ligue 1 to that. We know about PSGs quality but Lyon Monaco and especially Lille have been fantastic this season, I would have liked to have seen how Lille would have got on in the knockout stages of this years champions league. Sublime at times. Been some exciting high scoring games between the top teams, best season in years. I think the extended Covid layoff in France had helped the players stay fresher longer this year. I think you’re going to see Lille and Lyons young squads absolutely plundered by richer teams in the summer.

The EPL definitely has more strength in depth than any other league. La Liga, partly due to Barcelona and Real Madrid taking the majority of the TV money for themselves, is less competitive. Atletico have done brilliantly to keep themselves in the mix for a few years now, given their financial disadvantage. The massive money Sky pay for EPL rights is distributed far more equally (part of the reason the six English clubs wanted to break away to a Super League) which means there is a better standard of competition. The bottom teams in the EPL are still decent sides that can beat the top teams on a given day. In the past few seasons Man City, Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool have all won the title. That's a competitive league, surely.

Didn’t realise Lille were still top with only 3 games to go. Would love to see them win it.

Them and PSG have almost identical run ins difficulty wise. 2 away, 1 at home, both with 1 difficult away game and the other 2 games against teams slightly below mid table for both teams.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Bring back the European Cup.


That ship has sailed, mate, and will never happen. UEFA (and many fans) want the best team in Europe's top competition. The second best team in England is a far better side than the champions of Austria or Sweden. It's a stronger competition under the current format.

Furthermore, if anything, the big clubs want it to be even more selective i.e. the Super League nonsense. They don't want to have to deal with anyone but comparable wealthy clubs. They want to move irrecoverably away from the old European Cup football.

PSG’s biggest issue in Europe is the absolute pish they play *most* weeks.

Hibs would be relegated from Lique 1 if you took the current squad and put them in there. I'm pretty certain of that.

Of course if we had access to the TV revenue it would be another story.

Fighting relegation, definitely.

Also 30% of challenges that we get away with in Scotland would be given as fouls in France. Slower and more technical with less physical contact.

Valencia are only just outwith the relegation zone in La Liga. It’s a myth that there isn’t the depth there, bottom teams regularly get results against the top sides. Absolutely no worse than the bottom end of the Premiership.

He was a good keeper. Some didn't take to him because he wasn't Rocky (the same is happening with Macey) others because he had long hair and a hairband.

Our terrible time with keepers from the Mowbray/Collins eras have scarred us to have an instant fear of most keepers.

I always liked Maxwell too. Distribution was very good, could ping it deep and wide. But fairly bonkers he now has a good chance of topping all four English leagues for clean sheets this season. Never saw that coming. I’d imagine he must have a good back 4 in front of him also

Got to admit when United signed Cavani I wasn't sure, suspected him to be past his best and collecting a last big paycheck at a big Club.
