[CB Hibs 68]

Just been checking the fixtures for Stranraer and as well as playing today they are also playing on Tuesday and Thursday.That is a lot of Fitba for part time players before a big cup tie against full time opposition.Hopefully Hibs will capitalise and put them quickly away.

Thats not right that they are expected to play 4 games in that time.
They are surely entitled to ask that the Thursday game be cancelled and played after cup tie.
That schedule would be tough enough for full time pros.

The auld curmudgeon’s funeral is 3pm Saturday.... will we be allowed the lunchtime kick off I wonder.

The game will be moved.

The SFA will fall into line with the mood in England as they always do.

Though to be fair to English people they seem to be perplexed at the sheer amount of "pretendy grief" being overloaded on to them.

Best case scenario will be the iPlayer.

I can’t believe this is a consideration. Most normal people have only been allowed up to 30 odd people but these *******s need an audience of 55 million?

Incredible lack of self awareness from them.

Stick it on one channel, the people that want to watch it can. The people who don’t, dont.

Why is that not an option?

[Carheenlea]

Is the game scheduled for BBC Scotland 1 or 2 or the other BBC Scotland Channel? Surely plenty options across their network for alternative broadcasting.

As the national broadcaster I understand the obligation to cover the funeral, but just stick ours on BBC Scotland Channel or Alba and let folk decide what they want to watch. Or just scrap it altogether and let The clubs stream it themselves.

We never had any National TV or Radio to speak of yesterday other than exasperating tribute and mourning, and even this morning it was ****. They’ll take control on Saturday. I’m more concerned about them scuppering football all day never mind the TV. Hope I’m wrong.

It is scheduled for the BBC Scotland channnel

[Onion]

At a time when many have been unable to attend the funerals of close family members, the wall to wall media coverage of Prince Philip's passing and "stop the world" approach to his funeral could be seen as a tad insensitive. Those who wish to pay respect will have ample opportunity to do so through every BBC TV and radio channel over the coming week and for days beyond. No need to go beyond a minutes silence and an arm band.

The match is scheduled for BBC ONE Scotland, not the BBC Scotland* channel: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000vdz8

(And for whoever it was asking about BBC Two Scotland earlier, that channel no longer exists; it was closed when the BBC Scotland channel opened).

From what I can see, the SFA site just listed the organisations that bought the rights (BBC Scotland and Premier Sports) without specifying the actual channels, it's just that "BBC Scotland" is also a channel name. All moot now anyway.

Friday's Scottish Cup tie is on the BBC Scotland channel.

I wonder if there's any scope for moving Saturday's ties to Sunday.

[Greenbeard]

I'm no Royalist but the increasing amount of disrespect in so many aspects of life is really p****** me off. Some of the things I have seen written about the Chooky and the Royal family over the last day and a half have been horrendous.
Like it or not the old boy should be awarded the respect his position deserves and if that means no sport over the period of the funeral so be it. I don't see a problem with evening kick offs that day though.

If you want to be able to watch it then you should be able to.

Why should people that don’t want to watch it have it forced down their throat though?

What respect does his position deserve? I don’t mean that as a disparaging remark. He is no better than anybody else, he’s human like the rest of us, no less, no more.

Whether his position deserved any particular respect is a matter of opinion.

It shouldn’t be impacting on the ability of the rest of us to get on with things - not much else to be doing right now to enjoy yourself so cancelling people’s pastimes for it is a bit much.

I believe the monarchy is an insult to the population and should be abolished. So why would I have any respect for the position he attained?

It makes you wrong. In my view.

Surely that respect went when the position of Queen and royal family was used to keep Andrew out of trouble? Its mental to think they deserve any bit of respect while they are protecting an alleged peadophile.

Funeral isn't till 3pm so no reason for game not to be shown first.

[davhibby]

If the game does go ahead at the original time it certainly won’t be on TV, and would be iPlayer only.

I’d imagine the old firm will definitely end up on the Sunday and the rest of the Saturday games will either be moved to Sunday or possibly offered an evening kick off on Saturday or something? We’ll be moved to a time the BBC can fit us in on Tv so who knows

[Brizo]

I'm sure the Duke of Edinburgh wouldn't have wanted Edinburgh's premier football team and their fans to have our game canceled.

Re the Duke himself, he was a product of his class, his upbringing, and the era he was born in. If people want to pay their respects for the good things he did or/and the position he held that's fine by me. I'm guessing he'd be quite baffled himself at the wall to wall "pretendy grief" as a previous poster described it. It's also quite ironic that the insensitive unthinking bluntness he was ridiculed for during his life is now being repackaged as some kind of whimsical and endearing personality trait.

The abuse has been horrendous, but this part of your post I couldn't disagree more with.
I can see why people get so angry when this is a prevalent view across the media as well.

He lived a life, IMO, of completely undeserved privaledge, and in death this continues.

Propel mention the good things he has done, but nearly all were part of his role anyway and he would have had a team of people to cater for his every need along the way.

I will not say anything abusive, as that is wrong, he was a man and deserves every respect for that. His family need time to grieve.

The nation does not need time to grieve.

It's just sticking it down the throat of the average person that you will never be given such undeserved privaledge.

Thousands of folk recently have lost their lives and their families were not allowed to grieve properly.

The abuse is never acceptable.

The anger is more than acceptable.

I fully accept that plenty folk have plenty to dislike about the Royal family but priviliged life or not, past foot-in-mouth moments or not, he was the Queen's husband. That is what makes things a tad different from the average Joe Bloggs in the street. To imply that the funeral of the Queen's husband should be no different to the average man is plain ridiculous and a very poor angle on any anti-Royal Family argument. I repeat, I am no Royalist and am generally highly critical of all the fawning over the Royals that persists through much of the media and a good proportion of the population, but I can live with a 2-3 hour window of no formal sport this Saturday as a mark of respect for the passing of the Queen's husband. No-one will be forced to watch it - I certainly won't - nor indeed to mark the one-minute silence although no doubt some neanderthals will set off fireworks during it and think they are radical rebels rather than just complete tits.
Watch catch-up, Time for Heroes dvd or Film 4, go for a walk, play golf, dust and hoover with Lynyrd Skynyrd at full volume through your headphones, whatever. It will be a minor inconvenience and we'll all get to see the mighty Hibees pump Stranraer without too much delay.

[JimBHibees]

Don't see any reason for our game being moved though no doubt it will be. Surely would have made more sense for the funeral to be in the morning rather than have it when most sports would be on. Deliberate forcing of it onto the public imo.

[hibee316]

I would say this is the inherent problem for me. Why do you think it is ridiculous? Just because I am going against something that has always been done? Because it goes against the grain of what we have been told since we were wee?


In my opinion, it is very easy to fall into a trap that royalty, celebrities, public figures are somehow better or more special than everyone else, with none of it being on merit.

Because he was the "queens husband", doesn't do it for me.

There are plenty countries around the world where they have either rejected or done away with royalty. They would not think this point of view ridiculous.

Surprisingly, I'm not overtly anti-royal! I'm anti doing something just because we have always done it and praising folk for which f@nny they came out of :)

Totally agree. Very little for the public to enjoy at the moment. Sport on a Saturday is a bit of a saviour. Could have the funeral any time they wanted given there’s only 30 folk going and it’s not as if any of them had to take a day of work to attend. Everyone else will just need to rearrange things to suit though.

I feel that you aren't understanding the viewpoint of many of us, many feel the institution shouldn't exist. For that reason many believe, it should be no different from the average Joe Bloggs. The fact he was the Queen's husband is irrelevant. The Queen means nothing to many of us.

I think if you were to compare to other monarchies, ones that aren't so elitist and antiquated, you would not see the same levels of coverage and expectation for everything to stop for them.

They should put the funeral on PPV with all proceeds going to the Duke of Edinburgh’s foundation or whatever. Then whoever cares enough to watch can chip in and contribute to the continuation of all the incredible selfless deeds he did throughout his life.

The rest of us can then get on with what really matters - watching the cabbage pump some diddy team on the way to another Scottish Cup triumph 🏆

Apologies if this is off topic given the current discussion, has there been any word re our game being moved?

Not yet, just the statement that got released yesterday saying discussions were underway.

Firstly I expect the match to be moved as all BBC channels will be swamped with wall to wall coverage of his funeral.

Personally I think that the coverage has been totally over the top. But you can't blame anyone other than MSM for that.

The royal family should be leading by example. Harry should not be flying in from the USA. There will be no time for him to self isolate. The funeral should be restricted to 30 people or whatever the law is in England. Personally I have lost 3 aunts and uncles during lockdown. My mum couldn't even attend her sister's funeral due to rules in place at the time.
Even the Royal family should live by the laws of the land.

I would think it highly unlikely that any games will be allowed to go ahead next Saturday such is the climate of irrational hysteria being whipped up, I would suspect the SFA won't dare do anything that might show ''disrespect''.

Unless I’m being daft, they are following the rules? Harry is allowed to travel like anyone else is. He’s allowed to attend the funeral but no wake or anything, and must isolate at all other times. They’ve cut the numbers back to 30 also.

What I don’t agree with is the TV schedule. If you don’t want to participate in the funeral then you shouldn’t be forced to. Issue may come from players who’d like to watch it, although I couldn’t see it.

[MartinfaePorty]

Jason Leitch answered a question on Off the Ball yesterday about someone coming in to Scotland for a funeral, I think from the Netherlands. The answer was he could attend the funeral, but would have to isolate before and after, so no going to the shops etc. Basically he can leave the hotel to attend the funeral but has to go back into isolation straight after. Be interesting to see if Harry has to isolate in a hotel!

Harry probably has several places he could call " home " but for the rest of us who live overseas what`s the situation ? We stay in a normal hotel ( must be near funeral venue ) which we leave for a couple of hours for the funeral presumably ? If family accommodation is available presumably overseas person would have to isolate in a room with no contact with others in house ? Have read Harry could cut short 10 - day quarantine after funeral so only tested on day 2 and return home to US before second test on day 8 for example though that may be if he pays for an expensive test on day 5 . Then travel questions . Can someone in Paris for example take Eurostar ( still running with 1 train in each direction per day ) to London then a train to Scotland for a funeral or is only option a direct flight from Paris to Scotland ( if there are ) or flight via England ? There are lots of folk overseas worried about missing funerals or who have already missed some ( am aware of online alternative ) and perhaps one good thing that has come from this royal thing about which I`ve no interest at all is that it has led to official guidelines on funerals being published .
Finally apologies to everyone for mentioning funeral stuff on football thread ( maybe last few posts should be moved to Coronavirus thread in Holy Ground ) .

If someone wants to know how many posts they`ve made surely there must be a way of letting posters know without discriminating between long time posters and new posters ? This is the only forum I use online but last week I signed up for another non football site to ask for some financial advice and after less than a week I know I won`t return to it cause of hostile responses I got to my query - instead of helping ( which some did ) several regulars immediately questioned my motives as though they had the right to question my honesty .

In England you can pay for a test after 5 days and leave quarantine if it's negative.

People must also take a test on or before day 2 of isolation and on or after day 8 of isolation.

I called the person out because I thought and still think the post was an obvious piss take.
The alternative is he really thinks a petition is a cunning plan to tackle Saturdays football and royal funeral issue but I'm not sure anyone is that stupid.
However, if I am wrong and Baldrick is currently in the process of getting his petition and 100,000 signatures together I promise to help him deliver it on completion but reserve the right to wear a disguise to avoid subsequent ridicule.

P.S. some wag started a petition on change.org a couple of weeks ago to have Ann Budge removed from Hearts. It currently has 35 signatures. Maybe our petition advocate can makes pals with the guy who started that one and get some petitioning tips although getting 100,000 signatures could be difficult within the tight time scale.

It’s not really anything to do with what the poster said, it’s the constant reference to how many posts someone has made. If I had made that post I’d be laughed at, but no one would suggest I’m a Jambo because I’ve made lots of posts. There seems to be an etiquette that says you have to agree with everyone until you get your post count up or you’re called a Jambo. Surely we all want to see new people posting on here?

It is impossible for us all to agree at the best of times on here which is good because it shows Hibs supporters are a team for everyone. However, the always angry and unnuanced thinkers on here can be very wearing at times. I agree that the Jambo accusation for new posters thing is well off the mark. Apologies for using it.

If for no other reason than the D of E served Britain World War 2, making him a veteran from what I consider our finest generation, then even although I am not a royalist I respect the man's service.

The totally over the top reaction from the media is to be expected as this is a huge story for them. It doesn't make it right, but it does make it understandable.

Should we pause sport? Possibly. Will allowing sport to go on stop some who would want to see the ceremony miss it? Yes. Are they a minority? Almost certainly. For the sake of a few hours, and as a supposedly civilised nation should we show them some latitude? In my opinion, yes.

I am not looking for a fight, just trying to present an alternative view. I want the game to go on, but I understand why a significant minority may not.

The beeb wont just cover the funeral at funeral time. It'll be coverage all day building up to it. So it clashes with that. As a football fan that wouldn't bother me at all. I'd watch the game. They don't ask the fans though. They ask the relevant stakeholders - probably the sponsors and the broadcaster - and they make the decision.

BHA saying no horse racing will take place on Saturday between 2.45pm and 4.15pm. That seems a reasonable compromise to me and I presume they have announced that after some dialogue with the relevant "authorities". If football follows suit, then no reason why we couldn't KO 30mins earlier at 12Noon with the game on the BBC Scotland channel, leaving those who want to watch the build-up to the Chooky's laying to rest to do so on the main BBC channel.

Even it does go to penalties, the match should still finish before 3pm.

90 minutes should take us until 2pm then extra time until just after 2:30pm (allowing for a short stoppage after 90 mins) then if penalties are required then maybe 5-10 mins max, the match should finish by 2:45pm.

Not so sure that the post mortem on here will be finished by then though if we get taken to penalties by Stranraer!

Just make all the players wear a black tie and long trousers.

This will be a charming throwback to olden times and mean they will be suitably attired if they are still on the field come 3pm.

Boisterous goal celebrations should be replaced with polite handshakes, as excessive exuberance would be a poor show.

They should put the funeral on PPV with all proceeds going to the Duke of Edinburgh’s foundation or whatever. Then whoever cares enough to watch can chip in and contribute to the continuation of all the incredible selfless deeds he did throughout his life.

You know nothing about me and the sacrifices I make as an infldividual to be lucky enough to watch a football game in my busy work life. Yet you make a obnoxious, unwarranted attack on me. What kind of person are you?

What does being a healthcare worker have to do with anything?

[Highwayman]

There was never going to be an outcome to this situation which suited everybody.
Personally I’m ok with it being moved to Sunday if we can get live coverage.
Noted a previous post that read it wasn’t an ideal situation leading up to an important game with Livingston on on the following Wednesday.
I’m not sure what Stranaers fixture is following Sunday as they’ve been playing Tuesday and Thursday to fit in the fixture.
We shouldn’t need any real advantage to win this game but with the fixture pressure on Stranaer every little helps.

In answer to your first sentence, leave the kick off time to when it was meant to kick off on Saturday lunch time. No reason why that wouldn’t have suited everybody?!

[Tambo]

I work Sunday till Thursday 9am till 6pm so bit gutted won’t be able to see this live.

Can anyone confirm if the full match replay will be available in the sports section around 7/8pm? I know they usually have an archive for a week but not sure when it gets put up.

Is the rearranged game definitely on tv? Personally would have been happy to pay Ppv and bin the live tv. Joke it can't be shown on BBC Scotland channel.

[tamig]

Can’t see Hibs being overly happy either
Would have mapped out their training plans for the week, and overnight accommodation
Also gives the players a day less before we take on Livvi

Jack Ross asked for an early decision so training could be planned accordingly. Looks like he got his wish to me. Don’t think our training schedule will have been impacted much - if at all.

Bit of a danger of us missing the start of the funeral if the game went to pens.

[FilipinoHibs]

We can all celebrate on Sunday when the Royal love in is finished and we can get back to dealing with reality for most of us.

[Onceinawhile]

Fizzing.

This has caused my sons football on Sunday to get moved from 3 to 1. Meaning I either miss the hibs, or he misses his football.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Absolute shambles of an organisation the SFA are

Montrose down at Partick on Thursday night, home then down to killie on SATURDAY MORNING for an 11:45 kick off. Pre match meal at 7am then

So long as the old firm get maximum exposure eh

Apparently clubs weren't consulted at all

I work with a bloke who plays for a league two side and he was absolutely knackered at work on Friday after two midweek games. Should work significantly in our favour.

Possibly, although finances might be tight with significantly reduced income right now

Saturday, and a very private funeral, is going to be hijacked by the BBC and its royal sycophants. It promises to be a boak-fest featuring the one and only Nicholas Whichell. This is his moment. Cometh the day, cometh the man :cb

The clubs that weren’t on TV would all have been able to decide the time between them. So Killie and Montrose obviously decided on that time not the SFA. All that was forced upon them was a move from 3.

I very much doubt Montrose would have chosen 1145. Crazy decision by the beaks and a complete disregard of clubs of Montrose stature

Hibs should win this by a few.

If we lose, I would put it down as one of our biggest ever shocks, due to Stranraers schedule.

I'm sticking a bet on Hibs -3

Or maybe -4 :)

Unlike Hearts, at least if we do suffer a shock defeat we'll have a good excuse, judging by the reaction of many on here i.e. the massive disruption and angst that is being caused by the Royal funeral.
Like someone else said, be prepared for when the Queen herself passes away (probably in about 2041 after choking on her Royal Jelly supplements). That is going to be many many times worse. Expect no sport at all between her passing and the day after her funeral, not just a couple of hours.

[CMurdoch]

Easy Hibs win unless we decide to play the benchers

[Since452]

Stranraer have been pretty mince of late. Any win on Sunday would do but I think we'll put 4 or 5 past them after a slow-ish first half. They'll tire pretty quickly after their schedule.

[Moulin Yarns]

I see that there is a lack of respect for the chook from the German and Italian leagues with games kicking off at 2 and 2:30

[Hibbyradge]

For those of us south of the border, it's on BBC Scotland, not BBC One.

I didn't realise the BBC Scotland channel had different programming depending on where you are in the UK.

BBC One Scotland is available in other parts of the UK so I'm a bit surprised by that.

It's also a bit annoying (even although it doesn't affect me nor does it surprise me) that Stranraer v Hibs isn't shown on all BBC One channels throughout the UK in the same way that FA Cup matches are.

Reading Murphy is out again with a hamstring injury
Hibs going to decide soon, if he’ll play again this season

Would be a big blow to lose him in my opinion

Is it just bad luck or is there still a long term issue ?

Not good if true ,we do need him as an option, would that mean Drew Wright getting game time ......hmm?

Has been struggling with a hamstring injury from a couple of games into his time at Hibs.
No time left to get back up to speed so unlikely to start again this season but some sub cameos might be in order.

[JimBHibees]

Is it right Jamie Hamil plays for them? Wonder which Hibs player he will try to seriously injure.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Still signed for them but hardly plays now, only played 2 of their 16 games this season. Unused sub in their last game. Hopefully he wont get a game when we play them.

Big game for them tonight v Stenhousemuir
A win can get them within touching distance of the play offs

[Oscar T Grouch]

Yeah you're right but their form is up and down, it is a really competitive league at the top end and should be interesting to see who finishes in the play off spots. I think Elgin probably the harder last few games though, they still have to play Queens Park.

It would be good to have him back, but he’s missed that many games it’s not as much of a loss as losing someone like Boyle.

QotS game was on BBC Scotland.

Useful rule of thumb is that if it's an evening game it'll almost certainly be BBC Scotland. Daytime games will almost certainly be on BBC One Scotland.

BBC Scotland's "normal" hours of operation are 7pm until midnight, with exceptions for live politics, live minority sports, live news, education and sign zone.

Used to live in Stranraer and they used a blue badge back in the day. I'm guessing the red one nowadays is to make it stand out more. But you're right, it is unusual.

[Sir David Gray]

Just noticed their badge on their website appears differently (red) compared to the other places where their badge appears blue.

As this is their 150th anniversary season, they're using an older style of badge, apparently. One way to flog merchandise, l guess.

They’re either very fit and battle hardened or extremely knackered by now.

Either way we should go out on Sunday and finish them off as quickly as possible.

Then give some of the bench boys some decent game time.

[Tyler Durden]

I'd be looking to rest Boyle, Doig, Irvine and Hanlon in this one. Those players haven't been rested much so makes sense to get the likes of Cadden, Wright and Magennis some game time.

With 4 or 5 changes I'd still be expecting to win this game 3 or 4 nil.

I'd rest Paul McGinn if anyone. The others can play and maybe be subbed if the match is in the bag. Irvine's not even played half a season.

Precisely. Making changes would be 1) a mistake but 2) totally lacking respect.

I watched them last night, a decent wee outfit who will cause us problems. The likelihood is we should win but the park, the referee and our attitude all come into play.

Lacking respect?

We’ve got a bench with multiple international players. We’ll be planning for 3 games in 6 days and that means rotation. Cadden and Magennis in particular need games and will be raring to go. It also makes sense IMO to keep Boyle in particular, fresh and fit for Wednesday.

I’d be very surprised if we didn’t make 3 changes or more. We’ll win this comfortably.
