2020-21 season non-Hibs games thread

[Diclonius]

I'm following Football Manager rules by counting the start of the Scottish domestic season as the start of the actual season, so here we go! Aberdeen v Rangers kicks us off tomorrow.

[MartinfaePorty]

Yassss! It's back, baby :hibees:aok::agree:

[Iggy Pope]

Where are we putting the 2019/20 FA Cup final and EFL Play Off final updates? Champions League and Europa League? Is Football Manager rules letting us do it here or is Diclonius going to have to start another ****ing thread for these? I’m sure he won’t mind. History will never forgive us if we don’t address this. Especially if folk don’t want to know the score cos they’re out shopping.

[Tambo]

Shame the fa cup final will have no fans.

True.

Bottom line is Rangers and Celtic are miles ahead of everyone one with the wages and transfer fees so not a surprise.

I’ve said for years Aberdeen are over rated and even their fans still aren’t sure about their manager.

Last season they struggled when Cosgrove was missing and Shinnie went South.

Take out McKenna and they are average.

I’m not even sure of McKenna to be honest, very poor so far though but it’s always the same against the old firm for them they seem to have no trouble with grinding out results against the rest but they barely compete against old firm

Derek McInnes has the cushiest job in world football. Big wage, has only ever won a league cup by beating ICT on penalties, third biggest wage budget and doesn’t need to do too much to keep his job.

[J-C]

Just switched it off, I'll watch the highlights if there's any more, Aberdeen are stinking, 2 carthorses at the back and zero creativity throughout the team, Rangers are a decent side but no more than that, can't see them stopping Celtic this season.

[Tambo]

The quality difference the past few season between the old firm and the rest is frightening.

I'm sure we played like this when the huns came to easter road last season and won 0-3.

They've also not really signed anyone since last season either, just a goalkeeper on a free transfer from Sunderland who will hardly play and a centre half from Wigan.

Plus they're likely to lose their top goalscorer over the next few weeks.

The sheep have been honking so far, they must be the worst team to watch.

[Northernhibee]

If Sevco wanted to stop ten in a row then it needed to start in league two. Get youngsters in, build them up, get a generation of Rangers players that they could add to with experience once they got to the second tier and when in the top tier they have a squad who know each other, have lots of first team experience and go from there.

Instead they spent big wages on terrible footballers and journeymen like Daly, Sandaza, Clark, Black and more. Half of them they punted because they’re pish, the journeymen who were there for a payday never had the drive to push them forward and now they’re back in the top flight they are tens of millions away from genuinely challenging Celtic over 33-38 games, and that’s if Celtic don’t strengthen.

It could be 15 in a row tbh.

Agreed.

Aberdeen as a club are in a funny place.
New training ground but need new stadium but will it happen ? Add in the fact they move it could easily just become a soulless ground like many moves out of the city.

They have a manager who has been consistently up there but feels like he’s hit a glass ceiling.

He needs to win another cup soon I feel.

As for their players and style is boring to watch / Dylan should have come back to Hibs but money talks - sad as he played his best at us.

[jeffers]

Excatly, from my time watching McGeough at hibs he is a much better all around player than ojo and Ferguson combined but i never seen how he played at Sunderland.

I was speaking to an Aberdeen fan a few weeks ago. Said he personally liked McGeouch, but in general their fans hadn’t taken to him at all.

[H18S NX]

Switched off after the goal,bored.

[Unseen work]

As hopeless as Aberdeen have been they will still get plenty of results over the course of the season and be in and around 3-4th.

Lewis and the defence know their roles inside out, it’s not pretty but against the majority of teams it’s very effective.

Bryson, Ferguson, Kennedy, Hayes and McGinn can all score goals from midfield and be match winners. Plenty of experience there too.

Striker is their issue if Cosgrove is out for a while, depends how good the boy they signed from Leeds is though.

First impressions of Aberdeen this season are that they're Barry White

Aberdeen must be kicking themselves that they didn’t sell him when they had the chance. I don’t think they’ll manage to now.

Masks must be worn by the fourth official and other club officials but not by the managers, handshakes are banned and runners up and officials' medal presentations are going to take place behind closed doors due to "Covid protocol" despite the players and coaching staff from both clubs spending 5 minutes at full time all piling in for a cuddle!

There’s a lot of breaches of so called Covid protocols all over the place. One of the Killie backroom team was constantly gobbing on the track every time the camera panned onto their bench today. Other than stopping football or introducing a Covid police force I’m not sure what you do about it. I’m just happy to see the games back on though tbh. The guys are all tested regularly and I think it should be left at that rather than have all of those supposed protocols that virtually nobody seems to be paying attention to.

I know I was just pointing out the pointlessness of banning the Chelsea players and the match officials from collecting their medals on the pitch when so many other protocols were being ignored.

It just seems to me like football always needs to be seen to be doing something.

Another example was telling the fourth official to wear a mask at Easter Road today but then allowing him to go about with it not covering his nose.

As you pointed out, I'm sure officials will also be tested regularly so I'm not sure what purpose it was serving to get him wearing a mask but having done so, to then not enforce the correct wearing of it just makes the whole thing meaningless.

I'm told they released a statement, with wee Budge saying Scottish fitba is finished without Hearts in the SPL; that this is the thanks they get for winning World War One; but, when football does finally return to Tiny, chips will still be available in the new stand. Big club mentality.

[Since452]

Obviously extremely early in the season but I want to see Motherwell and Aberdeen dropping points as soon as possible

[hibee_girl]

Quite enjoying this game. Better than the boring sideways passing that has been on the telly for weeks

:agree:

It's been good so far

[B.H.F.C]

Ross County been decent here. Playing at a hundred miles an hour though. They might need their five subs.

[Frank Moon]

I really like the boy Ross Stewart for County. Great in that left hand side but with his height brilliant for defending corners And free kicks.

Think we were linked at some point and he would have been good for us from what I can see

He’s not one for the purists, but I think he’d fit in well at Hibs, down the left hand side

Offers different to what we have, replace Kamberi and Mcnulty?

[Brightside]

I struggle to watch Ross County but mainly down to the managers hair. It’s like watching Ray Reardon in the 70s

[CmoantheHibs]

It's an enjoyable game to watch. Both teams knocking it about well and plenty skill and aggression. Interesting to see how it goes but would prefer county to win.

Plus he shaves the wee triangle at the front. Very very odd.....

Motherwell penalty

Missed

Ross County 1-0 Motherwell

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

What a duff penalty.

[Brightside]

Defender need battered for that tbh.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that is one silly penalty to give away

missed

[Billy Whizz]

What a duff penalty.

Mi**** it

[Coco Bryce]

Shocker of a penalty 😂

[Sylar]

Horrendous miss. Yikes.

[erin go bragh]

Quite a soft pen . But what a pss poor attempt.

[Sylar]

Oli about to come on with 10 odd minutes to go.

[calumhibee1]

Deserved red that. ****ing hate that type of tackle.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Cynical foul but maybe a harsh red card.

[blackpoolhibs]

Motherwell have been the better side for most of this game, dominated the ball but are still one down, remind you of another team?:wink: And now down to 10 men.

:greengrin

[Sylar]

Motherwell down to ten. Could have gone either way - both feet off the deck, but it didn't look malicious.

[Brightside]

Dreadful 2nd half

[hibee-boys]

Stick on yellow....but red?🤔

[erin go bragh]

1-0 County will do nicely. Keeps up 2nd 😄 But more importantly above The Sheep and Well . Let’s get a win at Livi and we’re off to a flyer .

[Sylar]

I know it's one game, but if this is a fair representation of Motherwell, they've regressed horribly.

FT: 1-0

[Ozyhibby]

Doubt we could have picked a much better set of results to start the season with.[emoji106]

3 points ahead of Aberdeen and Motherwell already. A very winnable game up next too.

Three points ahead of Sheep, Killie and Motherwell after matchday 1. Sweet.

Edit: And Livi.

Dunno if its very winnable. Easily the hardest place to go outside of the oldfirm.

[Jim44]

Up against Bartley and Ambrose is a tough gig, but I think we have the players to win this.

Based on what?

[Mcpakeisgod]

Based on what?

Based on their home form last season. 8/4/2. Best outside OF

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Ross Stewart, Ross Laidlaw, Ross Draper,Ross Munro and Ross Doohan, all bizarrely are in the Ross County squad for this season. A team full of Rossers.

[MWHIBBIES]

Their excellent home form perhaps?

[plhibs]

Didn't know that Ambrose had signed for them, when did that happen?

Steady. They’ve been our bogey team past couple seasons now. It’ll be a tough game especially there

Looks like David De Gea was watching the game tonight judging by his latest tweet.

Sorry but if we're saying going to Livingston isn't very winnable we'd be as well jacking it in and supporting Hearts instead

[JimBHibees]

The horrible pitch they have is a huge advantage as is the Wimbledon from the 80s style of play. Just got to deal with it and hope some football breaks out. You don't want to go behind to them that is for sure. They have decent players also of course but very difficult game.

It's going to be a very tough game, that's a fact. Don't think supporting hearts would help, they lost 5-0 at Livi.

Every game in this league is tough but it's winnable. Ibrox and Parkhead I'd expect us to get beat but not Livingston. With the players we have and our budget I'd be disappointed if we didn't win. If we want 3rd this season we need to be picking up wins at places like that.

So it's tough but winnable? Surely it's also loseble and drawable then too?

[Since90+2]

What is the actual discussion here? That we can either win draw or lose on Saturday? That's pretty obvious but if the aim for the club is to finish 3rd we should absolutely be looking to win away at clubs like Livingston.

[Souter96Mac]

Not sure if someone has already mentioned, but I thought that Seedorf for Motherwell looked lively last night. I can't imagine Ross County's fullback are world beaters, but he always got past his man and put in some decent balls into the box. Surprised though, seems like he didn't get any assists in the league last year. So it might have just been a flash in the pan, but could be an option if/when Boyle leaves? Not like for like by no means, but looks good to me

Well done, finally you have ended up arguing with yourself. :top marks

Its not about looking to win or not. We will be looking to win every game. Livi is the 3rd hardest away game in the league. The league season is a marathon, not a sprint. Hard fought points are vital.

I'd say games away at the bottom six (Hamilton, RC, DU, St mirren) are the very winnable ones. Livi could go either way, 90% of the reason for that is the horrible pitch. We were dreadful the only other time Ross took us here. I'd probably be quite happy to take a point now.

[MWHIBBIES]

Well done, finally you have ended up arguing with yourself. :top marks

Stay on topic please :aok:

[hibsbollah]

One thing is for sure. On Saturday we will either win, lose or draw. The key determinant will be the frequency with which we put a spheroid into the opposition net, and equally, the frequency with which we prevent the same incident occurring in our own teams net. Points will then be awarded based on the outcome. Gaun The Hibs.

Unless the game is postponed. Then we enter a whole new parallel universe.

It’s just counting. Best home record outside the OF, we don’t have a great record there, the awful pitch is a real leveller too.
