2021-22 season non-Hibs games thread

[HH81]

Congratulations to Manchester United in creating a new record in English football of 28 away league games unbeaten :applause::applause:

HH81 is away for a lie doon.

When is the trophy parade? Possibly do it in Bristol or Torquay.

Talking of Torquay was chatting to their players yesterday as staying in same hotel as me this weekend. Bet they wish local fans supported them instead 😁

[HH81]

Will already be sleeping if they watched the game to be fair (unless Wolves high intensity game had them on the edge of their seat).

Nope I'm still awake.

Wolves the better team. All 3 games today on sky were rubbish. Super Sunday my arse.

On another note tried a local chippy, 4/10. Better than the football though.

Fair play to be honest, travelling from Torquay to Manchester to watch their favourites is some effort. Even further than Lancashire lads travelling to Scotlands finest City to watch their favourites. Its a global game when you're a massive club like Hibs you draw support from all over. :wink::greengrin

To be fair the local based fans will never have been to games.

Us England based fans do 😁

[hibbysam]

Looking back at the replay, definitely a foul for me.

It’s both a foul and a red card, he’s over the ball, straight leg, catches the player half way up the shin with his studs. That’s more of a red than Xhaka’s yesterday.

[Hibernia&Alba]

You don't mean Pogba? He didn't touch the guy, who looked at the referee then decided to hit the deck a few seconds later. There was no contact. The referees have been told this season to look out for players choosing to go down for fouls.

He did touch the guy, you can see his shin pad move round his leg due to it. There is also a still of it which shows it for the shocker it is.

No way. He looks at the referee then sits down to get the foul. VAR reviewed it, too.

Was a red card to be honest. Over the ball didn't touch the ball. Clear contact

I notice they had a bigger crowd today than we had yesterday. Find that hard to believe

[hibbysam]

How he goes down makes absolutely no difference, it’s a horrendous tackle and he does make contact. The still shows this and so does the video with his shin pad moving round his sock.

[Billy Whizz]

Just said it on sportscene

[Lancs Harp]

Benfica 2 Tondela 1, the Eagles come back from 0-1 down at half time to grab a win and move to the top of the Premeira liga.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Nah, he feigned contact and demanded a foul. Referees have been instructed to spot it, and VAR supported the decision, as did Carragher in commentary.

[HH81]

Understandable why you think he missed the player but it was infact the only thing he kicked all day.

Foul.

Are you just completely ignoring the still photo which has Pogba’s studs embedded into his leg? Mike Dean thought they both kicked the ball which was completely wrong, and even if there was no contact it’s still a red card (see Xhaka yesterday).

[hibee_girl]

It’s true, no St Johnstone fans at St Mirren either

[Hibernia&Alba]

The photo shows no such thing. They both went for the ball, both missed the ball and each other. You are going to have to get over it; the referee, VAR and commentator all agreed.

[hibbysam]

Both missed the ball? The player literally kicked the ball away 😂 I’m ‘over it’ as it doesn’t concern me one bit, to say there was no contact I’d suggest you get down to your nearest specsavers tomorrow though. The photo shows quite clearly his studs are making contact with his shin.

[Lancs Harp]

Reims v PSG, 0-1 PSG Mbappe.

Mbappe, Neymar, Messi on the bench. Reims havent faced anything like this since the 50s and coming up against most of the Famous5.

Incredible var didn't pick that up.

[hibbysam]

Incredible var didn't pick that up.

Can only presume they’ve had a quick look (first glance doesn’t look like contact) and said that’s enough. When you watch the close up you can see his shin pad move round his leg, and that still shows it quite clearly. They got away with it today, that foul and also all the missed chances.

[Tommy75]

The crowd being entirely of a Hunnish persuasion could prove the difference. The fans make a massive difference in Old Firm games. I would make Sevco favourites due to that and Celtic's awful defence.

Why were Celtic not given tickets? I thought away clubs were entitled to a certain number of tickets or are there new covid rules? Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but seems to have passed me by!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Why were Celtic not given tickets? I thought away clubs were entitled to a certain number of tickets or are there new covid rules? Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere but seems to have passed me by!

Yes, COVID. Celtic said they cannot guarantee any tickets for Rangers at Parkhead, as they currently have a red zone policy. Rangers responded by giving them no tickets today.

[hibbysam]

Celtic refused to make guarantees to Rangers that there would be tickets for away fans in the return game so Rangers returned the favour. A shambles but not unexpected from that pair. Like children fighting over their last sweetie.

[Sir David Gray]

Some clubs have said that the use of a "red zone" (the area where the subs currently need to sit meaning the fans who usually sit there need to be relocated) has meant that they can't accommodate any away fans.

[RyeSloan]

Are you just completely ignoring the still photo which has Pogba’s studs embedded into his leg? Mike Dean thought they both kicked the ball which was completely wrong, and even if there was no contact it’s still a red card (see Xhaka yesterday).

There was defo contact…as you say you can see his shin pad move.

But how substantial that contact is I’m not sure. It certainly wasn’t enough to make him go down in the first place and he even stopped and had a look at the ref!

So to me it’s more of a skiff than a studs in the shin tackle and was nothing like the Arsenal red card yesterday.

[Sir David Gray]

Yes, COVID. Celtic said they cannot guarantee any tickets for Rangers at Parkhead, as they currently have a red zone policy. Rangers responded by giving them no tickets today.

All clubs have a red zone, it's just that some clubs have said that it means they can't have any away fans as a result.

In Rangers' case they appear to be able to accommodate away fans but because Celtic don't, they revoked their offer of several hundred tickets for Celtic fans as Celtic said they couldn't guarantee that they could return the favour in January.

[Sir David Gray]

I didn't see the game but I completely agree with this.

If his leg is planted it’s a potential leg breaker, it’s the exact type of tackle they’re trying to get rid of. Over the ball and straight leg - very high contact point. The reason I say it’s worse than Xhaka’s as he lunges in front of the player, not directly into him. Both still reds.

Celtic can also accommodate away fans, they just choose not to.

I'm not sure of the specifics, does that also apply to St Mirren and Aberdeen?

:hilarious:hilarious

:aok:

[hibbysam]

I'm not sure of the specifics, does that also apply to St Mirren and Aberdeen?

Going by the amount of empty seats at both, absolutely. Celtic after refusing tickets last week then put tickets on a general sale. There isn’t a club in the country that have that many season ticket holders that they can’t have a small amount of away fans at worst. Think Rangers will have the biggest % of STH’s compared to capacity and they can have away fans.

[Lancs Harp]

it's not in anyway a red card. it's not even a foul. Dean doesn't give it and VAR reviewed it, even the commentary team didn't think it was a foul. there's an anti pogba agenda in football which is led by souness and it's pathetic.

I actually really like Pogba 😂 it’s straight leg, over the ball, studs into the shin of his opponent at pace. It ticks every box for a red card. I’m not sure what part doesn’t even make it a foul at best.

Why? So we can do it just out of spite and cost ourselves revenue?

The league should be stepping in here and looking to sort this out but for Hibs to do it ‘just because they did it to us’ when we could easily accommodate away fans would be a bit odd I’d say.

If clubs don’t take our away fans then absolutely we should be doing likewise. It’s not out of spite, it’s sheer principles. They’re mugging our own off.

Aye, from his 3 good chances a hat trick was available for Kane but I give him credit for the ground he covered over the 90 minutes to give his best for the team. I feel that this part of his game is well under rated.

I’m no fan of the Hungarian fans but it’s not like the rest of Western Europe have a shiny record in the racist fan stakes. Are we remembering the reaction to the English penalty defeat, booing the knee, and the daily racist abuse on social media?

I’m no fan of the Hungarian fans but it’s not like the rest of Western Europe have a shiny record in the racist fan stakes. Are we remembering the reaction to the English penalty defeat, booing the knee, and the daily racist abuse on social media?
Also a growing problem in Italy.

When it’s as in your face as monkey chants - something that has been eradicated here but for a very rare, lone moron - something has got to be done.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Yeah. The Hungarian fans got a lot of credit at the Euros and everyone singing their praises.

The reality is, they are racist thugs.

They travelled to Seville in big, organised numbers too and dished out their bile whilst looking for fights.

Looks like they enjoy the "Russian model" of black clad, white supremacist football hooligans. Sad, sad, sad people.

About ten years behind Europe that lot.

Black clad mob with a superior attitude you say? Thought you were describing the Union Bears there for a second. Silly me

[Hibernia&Alba]

England fans did also boo the players taking the knee; however, the racist bile of the Hungarian support is intolerable and something has to be done. There is no mitigation for monkey chants in 2021; UEFA and FIFA have held high profile anti-racism campaigns for many years, which everyone is aware of.

[MWHIBBIES]

England defence is dodgy but Hungary couldn't get close enough to find out. Teams who have the slightest bit of ambition and drive about them will do.

0-4 and rightly so. Hungary have been awful.

As much as the racist thugs hogged the headlines, remember the majority of the ordinary Hungarian fans are disgusted by these idiots.

The minority of the crowd does not need goading from a celebrating English player sporting writing the average thug would not comprehend to spark off.

Without trying to deflect this thread, Hungary (and Poland) are currently led by deep right wing governments..Hungary have almost overridden Democracy in the way they have cemented far right power …the socio-political environment in these places will also be generating hate and racism across their societies..

FIFA, UEFA and the EU have to take a major stand ..or it is making a mockery out of all of their “respect” etc initiatives ..

Hungary should be kicked out of the tournament ..amongst others …

I’d disagree about Poland being led by a deep right Government, it’s more of a left/right hybrid. On issues such as abortion, gay rights etc they have used the popularity of the church to help push a ‘traditional ‘ agenda yet their 500 plus programme has delivered on promises to give a leg up to the poorer members of society. It defies categorisation.
I’d suggest that it’s the socio-economic policies that kept the law and a justice party in power with widespread push back against their more regressive agenda, especially in the cities. Poland is far from a lost cause. I am biased though, I love the country and it’s people.:greengrin

Hungary should be kicked out of the tournament now though, their fans are toxic.

Polish government is without doubt a right wing populist government. My Polish colleagues love their country too . they are deeply troubled by the government. Their view this week was a strong belief that the EU should be taking significant action against the Polish government. Only recently have they taken action against media in country to silence their critics …horrible environment being created there

Ill stick with the old Right/Left labels no longer being fit for purpose. The ruling party in Poland are on the traditional right for some issues and the traditional left for others. Their main popularity lies in more rural areas with plenty of resistance elsewhere. The EU have already threatened action against them for their attempts to weaken the judiciary. That , along with a population that is far from compliant, should keep them in check until the next election when I fully expect to see them defeated.

A bit too political for here maybe, apologies, I’ll stop now.

To be fair there isnt alot of evidence to back that up. England have kept something like 18 clean sheets in the last 25 games and the ratio doesnt alter a tremednous amount going back further covering a World Cup, a Nations league and a European Campionship. Englands defence is as good as virtually anyone else in Europe or indeed world football.

McGeady was the best Scottish player of his generation.
He decided to play for Ireland instead of Scotland and that decision adversely affected Scotland and boosted the quality of the Ireland team.
The effect of losing McCarthy to Ireland about the same time doubled that effect.
They represented 20% of their outfield players so not insignificant
Fortunately Scottish players are no longer making this choice and that is to our benefit and to the detriment of the Irish national team.

Yup.

Quite how that can be described as nonsense is laughable really. As you say, McGeady would have been our best player, McCarthy would have been right up there as well. Both would have made a huge difference to our squads, both would have been a huge loss to ROI.

They both would have played for Scotland as their first choice had it not been for a stupid rule regarding schools football for McGeady and McCarthy not being called up through the youth groups. Both have said as much. Both see themselves as Scottish and would have played for Scotland in normal circumstances.
