Huns or Sheep

[Jim44]

Who are we rooting for tomorrow? I don’t want to see Rangers winning the league but I think they are odds on for that. On the other hand, we are battling it out with Aberdeen for 3rd. Do we reluctantly go for Rangers to win and keep Aberdeen in our sights? Or do we suffer an Aberdeen win to keep rat-face Gerrard in his place? I suppose a draw might be an acceptable compromise.

[Heisenberg]

Rangers by as many goals as they can score.

🤢

[Carheenlea]

Hold the nose and hope for a Hun win.

Can`t really see any other outcome that would be better for Hibs.

[MWHIBBIES]

Don't think it matters. Rangers will win comfortably IMO. Easily better than Aberdeen.

Best result for us is Aberdeen losing so thats what we should want. Most important thing is we get back to winning asap. 5 of the next 6 league games are against teams we have already beaten this season, that is a huge chance for points.

[hibbysam]

Are we going to win the league? No. Then why any hibs fan wouldn’t want what is best for hibs is beyond me. Doesn’t surprise me that folk are debating this, but it’s embarrassing.

[JohnMcM]

Whatever is best for us.:greengrin

[Speedy]

Definitely don't want an Aberdeen win.

Ideally Rangers win but could live with a draw.

[Carheenlea]

Definitely don't want an Aberdeen win.

Given the form Rangers are in a draw would be a big point for Aberdeen.

[SChibs]

I'd go for the result that benefits Hibs first and foremost. But, the longer the newco Rangers go without a trophy the more agitated and wound up their fans get which is funny.

[Sir David Gray]

I don't understand how any Hibs fan can hope for anything other than an Aberdeen defeat tomorrow.

[weecounty hibby]

Got to be a Hun win I'm afraid. We won't win the league so not interested in that. But we could well be third so want the sheep to be pumped, couple of red cards and a couple of long term non career threatening injuries!!

[Speedy]

I grew up with loads of Rangers fans gloating about winning leagues but none of them stepped foot in Ibrox. Bunch of fuds, always happy to see them make an arse of things.

If both teams could get 0 points I'd vote for that :greengrin

[Hillsidehibby]

Aberdeen are my new go to team to get beat now that Hearts are in the lower leagues and managing to get beat without me even going to check

HIBS sorry Huns ( predictive text)

[The Modfather]

Rangers, makes no odds to us in the title race other than enjoying Lennon stopping 10 in a row, but we’re trying to finish above Aberdeen.

[hibbysam]

Rangers, makes no odds to us in the title race other than enjoying Lennon stopping 10 in a row, but we’re trying to finish above Aberdeen.

And if Rangers run away with the league there’s no reason why Celtic won’t completely capitulate. Unlikely but we’re not that far behind them.

[FilipinoHibs]

Huns that is the best result fir Hibs. Plus I could not stand Celtic going on forever about 10 in a row.

[erin go bragh]

It’s a bit like asking , what testicle you would pick , to go in the vice .
A draw would do for me . I would rather Aberdeen won the league than that horrible lot from Govan .

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Has to be Rangers.

[wookie70]

I hate The Rangers more than any other team but Hibs are my main concern and them winning is good for us. I hope they sneak a win with lots of injuries and sending offs for them and The Dons. Nothing career threatening off course just enough to weaken them and give Hibs an advantage

[rossevenil]

Dislike both teams to be fair not quite equally but there is an arrogance from the north east that irks me.....couldn`t care who wins the league if its not us but realistically Aberdeen are our current competition so has to be a newco win

[HFC93]

Aberdeen are our rivals. Therefore, I hope Rangers pump them.

[hibee316]

Easy. I would pick someone's else's testicle!

[green&left]

Aberdeen will bottle it - also without 3 players I think from U21 duty. Three nil to the Huns.

[Steve20]

Aberdeen are a decent side. This won’t be the walkover people think. Rangers still won’t win the league imo.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this was a draw.

[superfurryhibby]

Are we going to win the league? No. Then why any hibs fan wouldn’t want what is best for hibs is beyond me. Doesn’t surprise me that folk are debating this, but it’s embarrassing.

No one is really debating anything. There’s unanimous support for a Hun win. I’d save my embarrassment for some of the other threads on here.

[JimBHibees]

��

Exactly the only option couldn't give a rats ass who wins the league.

[calumhibee1]

Huns that is the best result fir Hibs. Plus I could not stand Celtic going on forever about 10 in a row.

:agree:

I actually think it would be pretty hilarious for Celtic to blow 10 in a row. I hate Rangers probably a bit more than I do Celtic but for the devastation it would cause them I’d find it pretty damn funny if Rangers walked the league. Which I think they will.

[Since452]

Hope Rangers pump them. Couldn't give a **** who wins the league. Aberdeen are our main rivals.

[hibbysam]

Apart from the opening post asking if we want hibs to suffer, and another post saying a draw would be fine. Couldn’t care less how much folk hate other clubs, what’s best for Hibs always comes first, if posters want hibs to suffer just so rangers (a complete irrelevance to hibs) don’t win the league then it is embarrassing.

[Keith_M]

A nil-nil draw would suit me just fine.

[danhibees1875]

Rangers win definitely. :agree:

Win-win though as them dropping points isn't without its hilarity.

[Eyrie]

Aberdeen are our direct rivals, so a loss for them is good for us.

That's not the same as wanting an Ugly Sister to win.

[EI255]

Aberdeen started their excuses on Thursday. Only one winner today and it won't be the sheep.

Rangers will batter Aberdeen by 4 or 5 today. The sheep will miss McCrorie

[Solonleith1]

At this stage as much as I hate to say it, best results for us are celtic and rangers smashing everyone but Us. Were not catching them. European football is the core target along with good cup runs

[Solonleith1]

Plus again as much as I hate to say it, that rangers team on form is probably one of the strongest 11s in the league, if not the strongest

[Since452]

Could be worse than that now

You should have gone to the bookies.

[Coco Bryce]

They won't slip up this season like they did last season. Celtic are very poor this season. I honestly think if we had beat them yesterday the fans would be calling for Lennons head.

[Since90+2]

Celtic's only chance of winning the league this season is getting rid of Lennon asap. Rangers won't drop many more points and Lennon has clearly lost the dressing room at Celtic.

[Phil MaGlass]

[QUOTE=Since90+2;6361872]Celtic's only chance of winning the league this season is getting rid of Lennon asap.

This 100%, dont know if he has lost dressing room, but, they are screwed if they dont shift him.

[Coco Bryce]

If Rangers had a decent striker they would have had about 8 here.

[Keith_M]

So Hibs are still only point behind Aberdeen but now with a marginally better goal difference.


I'd like to think that Aberdeen will get nothing from their game in hand against Celtc but, having seen Celtc yesterday, I don't think that's such a certainty now.

I’d suggest that even if he won the league this year he wouldn’t be there next year. He’d have won a fourth treble in a row (not all him I know), won a tenth title in a row, and potentially even a fifth treble in a row. After the flack he has taken now, it wouldn’t be worth hanging around.

Think he could be gone this time next week, although who they have will replace home with, I’m not so sure
They could almost be out of Europe this week as well

More likely won’t be there by Christmas at this rate.

[weecounty hibby]

To be honest there was only ever going to be one winner in the game today. Aberdeen are poor against the Glasgow teams but stronger than most others

[EI255]

More likely won’t be there by Christmas at this rate.Long as he and his team scalp the Jumbos in the cup.

Before the game I wanted Rangers to win, it makes sense as stated by others we aint gonna finish above Rangers but just might finish above the sheep.

However once I started watching the game I felt I didn't enjoy a domestic game where I wanted Rangers to win (except against Hearts), I watched it for a wee while and then switched it off.

Same with the other week when they were beating Killie, I wanted them to lose a late equaliser.

I'm glad Rangers won now and wished it had been by more but I just found no pleasure in watching it.

I found it easier to wish for an Aberdeen defeat rather than a Rangers victory.

Essentially the same outcome but still very different things.

[thegaffer12]

As much as rooting for Rangers disgusts me, I'm delighted with that result today. And their game in hand is against them as well. Huge for the goal difference too.

[Iggy Pope]

They’d only be very different things if they weren’t playing each other!

Fair enough it makes sense to me and made it much more palatable in my head!

[I'm Spartacus]

A bit late to this party, but it was always a Rangers win for me, I just want a huge gap between the two when it comes to the transfer window to then watch Celtic totally panic buy waaaaaaaaaay beyond their means.

They 2 are eating each other to death and it's going to be great viewing!

[calumhibee1]

Rangers got a +38 goal difference after 15 games. Only conceded 3 goals, 2 of them against us and the other in a 5-1 trouncing at Fir Park.

They look every bit as good if not better than Rodgers Celtic teams. Even if Celtic get rid of NL I think they’ve left themselves too much to do already.

Fancy Rangers to win the league by 10+ points.

[oldbutdim]

You're not alone.

That's exactly how I deal with it too.

Couldn’t care less which of the Glasgow teams win the league. Aberdeen are our main rivals this season so delighted they got hammered.

Its incredible that they've not conceded a single league goal at home yet. If they don't win this league from the position they're in just now then it will be the biggest collapse in Scottish football in years.

Possibly, but Celtic only need to win 2 old firm games and their games in hand to go ahead. Now, that’s a massive stretch considering the form at the moment, however it’s not quite a massive lead as it stands. I’m sure Gerrard will be drumming 5 points into his team rather than the 11 that is shows on the table at the moment.

Rangers seem relentless and have a huge squad filled with quality now, seem to have two starters minimum in every single position, know their system, and sign players for that system. Celtic are all over the shop signing players and then trying to make a system fit.

Said that in another thread. The Hun signings this year have been way better than celtic. Lennon does seem to have a scatter gun approach to signings and then putting them into a team. Was it £5m for that keeper? And apparently they are paying the vast majority of Duffy's wages. 40k is what I've heard, could be BS but that is mental cash if true. And again putting him in the team. Lennon has done what he did with us by playing players out if position and changing teams for the sake of it

Duffy has said that Celtic are paying all his wages, whatever that may be

[Since90+2]

I don't think Rangers have better players but they are clearly a better coached team than Celtic. Their system is excellent and every player knows their role, the exact opposite of Celtic and the buck for that stops at Lennon.

[weecounty hibby]

Wow, maybe the £40k isn't far wide of the mark. Imagine paying 40k for that dumpling! That can't be too far short of Hibs 1st team total per week.

It's abit of a stretch to say that they look every bit as good or better than Rodgers Celtic team.

Rodgers team in his first season won a treble without losing a single domestic match, that's never been done previously in the history of Scottish football. They won 34 league games and drew the other 4.

[superfurryhibby]

Certainly would match the wages of our starting 11 on Saturday. That wage, if true, kind of emphasises the gulf between the Manky Mob and the rest of the cannon fodder in the SPFL.

They did but it was also a poorer league. Obviously a long way to go for them to prove themselves to be that good but on their form so far I don’t think they’re any worse than that side.

[007]

Don't have any sympathy for McInnes with his complaining about losing the players who were with the Scotland U21s. They got away unpunished when 8 of their players broke the lockdown rules at the start of the season when the government stepped in and effectively forced the league to cancel their fixtures.

IMO their opponents should have been awarded the 3 points but instead they were inconvenienced with rescheduled games and an interrupted start to the season. Aberdeen were then able to field the guilty players in the rescheduled games. The situation now with his players is a little bit of karma coming back to bite them so he's got a cheek to be greeting about the SFA over it.

The Huns are looking like a very good side just now.

Perhaps a comparison of the two managers’ European records might assist the comparison? Seem to recall Rodger’s Celtic side flopped in Europe, that may be pish though?

I think awarding points in these circumstances is totally unfair.What should happen is that the offending team is penalised three points and in this way the other clubs are treated equally.
