2021-22 season non-Hibs games thread

[heretoday]

"Some of their play was brilliant."
No, it wasn't.
Man City - that's brilliant.
Honestly, the BBC is murdering the language these days.

[Brightside]

Your beginning to sound a bit petty to be honest.

Imagine not being a fan of people constantly being negative about my team.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Aberdeen 0 Motherwell 2

Brentford 1 Norwich 2

[SHODAN]

and jesus said unto 'thine must not give other teams credit' and so it was said, and so it was written




amen

Dundee United are *****, we'd have wiped the floor with them t- wait never mind

[Stuart93]

We also wiped the floor with United and got ourselves into a cup semi final.

I don't know why you desperately feel the need to put Hibs down when we're not even playing. Its pathetic. Why would a Hibs fan do that?

We don’t have to be playing to remember how poor we’ve been recently

[Weegreenman]

So as i said - just go and watch them. You'd be better off supporting a team you like.

Away ye go ya clown. He’s merely pointing out the obvious. Take the green tinted specs aff ffs!

[MWHIBBIES]

We don’t have to be playing to remember how poor we’ve been recently

Right, and while we're not playing what is the ****ing point in sticking the boot in further?

The players, many of them positive for covid ffs, cannot do anything about it right now.

Why on earth do you feel the need to stick the boot in now? I literally cannot understand why a Hibs fan would do that.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Fair play to neilsen, must be doing something right

[Weegreenman]

If only our team played with the same high tempo, hunger and desire. Three things you’ll never see a Jack Ross team being accused of.

[Borderhibbie76]

No matter how poor we've been we arent playing today and thru no fault of our own have fallen further behind Hertz.. its bizarre some want to use it as a stick to beat the team with. Let's at least wait until we play and are actually sh### again

[cabbageandribs1875]

Dundee United are *****, we'd have wiped the floor with them t- wait never mind



jesus never said that :grr:

You need to relax

Except the many, many times we've done that under him.

I’m glad I can be of service my friend

[Lago]

I didn't read it that way, and let's be honest plenty on here have been negative about Hibs lately understandably based on the football on display.

[MWHIBBIES]

You need to relax

Na. You need to actually try supporting your club during a very tough time.

[Libby Hibby]

F@&£ the Hertz

[Lago]

Except the many, many times we've done that under him.
Many many, really, when?

[jeffers]

Hardly a surprise posters are commenting on Hearts putting 5 past Utd and drawing comparisons with our performance against the same opponents, a match where we couldn’t manage a single shot on target.

[Moulin Yarns]

18,129 at Tinycastle


good attendance

If hibs announced that as the crowd you would have a few posters saying that 8,000 season tickets didn't turn up!!

[Liam978]

Imagine not being a fan of people constantly being negative about my team.

N0t much negativity at all i'm afraid Brightside, just a case of the truth hurts and we must do better to keep in touch. I honestly believe Hibby's are responding by now starting to purchase tickets for Hampden GG2TH.

[wookie70]

Only watched about 10 minutes of the Hearts game but even at 4-2 up they were racing around pressuring the opposition. It got them their 5th goal but it also gets the crowd going and behind the team. We did it against Celtic a few times and the whole atmosphere changed. It requires some organisation and a bit of fitness and buy in and Covid notwithstanding would be something our squad could work on to get the atmosphere going and get us on the front foot. Even after a terrible run we can get to within 3 points of Hearts if we win our two games in hand, both of which we are well capable of getting the 3 pts in. Hopefully, a bit of pressure and adversity will get this squad to wake up and work together and I dearly hope that starts in the semi final

[Broken Gnome]

The folk going way OTT in attacking a bit of negativity are just as bad.

It can't be that hard to work out it's naturally a bit disappointing to see your most hated winning and scoring at a rate we're being deprived of at the moment. So what if we're not playing, just drives it home all the more.

Any praise (wouldn't go that far obviously) is just borne out of wanting Hibs to do well, it's perfectly natural. Everyone calm down FFS.

[MWHIBBIES]

Many many, really, when?

2x 3-0 wins over Ross County at home
3-1 win vs Motherwell at home
3-0 win vs Aberdeen at home

4-1 win vs Livingston away
3-0 win vs St Mirren away
2-0 win vs Aberdeen at home
3-0 win vs Motherwell away
4-0 vs Hamilton away
4-1 win vs Dundee at home


Plenty big wins under Ross playing good football. No point making stuff up because we're currently in a bad patch.

Aye you’re spot on with this.

Telling someone to get themselves to tynie because they’re highlighting that hearts are playing & doing well is ridiculously childish.

Oh look they have way more fans than us, oh looks they have scored more goals than us, oh why are we so ***** and they are so great. Try actually supporting your own team. Or just say nowt.

Plenty poor boring games under Ross, at best pragmatic, playing the percentages.

And I’ll give hibs the same praise when they’re due it. It’s mad you’ve taken all of that from me saying they’re flying and tynie looked busy.

I’ll post what I want to post but thanks for the concern

[MWHIBBIES]

10 games out of how many ? And you say plenty ? 😂

11 games pal.

We've played good football and drawn and actually played good football and lost, but I don't think that would fit your narrative so I didn't post those matches.

I know I wont change your mind and only winning 6-0 every week will do that so a pointless discussion.

It started off with Ross never ever playing good football with a high tempo, now we've got it up to 11 big wins in about 5 minutes. It wouldn't take me long to find more and make the initial point look even stupider.

[MWHIBBIES]

Plenty poor boring games under Ross, at best pragmatic, playing the percentages.

No. Poor games yes. At best a very good side who finished 3rd comfortably. Utter rubbish that we're at best pragmatic and playing percentages. A genuine lie.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Motherwell have won 3 out of their last four league games at Todders



couple of times dundee utd have beaten heartz 5-2, and a 5-0, but have to go back to 1932 since heartz put 5 past dundee utd at tinycastle..5-0

[Lago]

3rd comfortably, nope quite a few stumbles on the way and having achieved European football, yet again poor performances overall.

[Callum_62]

3rd comfortably. With games to spare. Mowbray never achieved that.

Hibs team had a few stumbles? No way...

I rarely bother with the site other than on match days now. This thread a good example of why.

Sorry to drag this back on topic, but watching my other team Brighton in action against Newcastle and bossing the game again. Lamptey back after a year having a huge impact. Pleasure to watch

Brighton looking good again, Newcastle aren't that bad, just looking shot of confidence, maybe Howe will give them that wee lift they need.

Yea this is a thread about non Hibs games yet we have posters arguing about whether Hibs were good or bad when they got 3rd and how many games were either pish or good, usual suspects too, boring.

[Lago]

Oh I should have remembered your always right.

[Smartie]

It’s not all that long ago we went to Tynecastle and got a draw in an even game where we might have nabbed a win.

Our problems are well documented but it’s worth remembering that our best XI is a decent side. We can’t do anything about what all these other teams are doing and rather than get het up about any of them I’d prefer to appreciate the fact that we’re going to have an extra few weeks to some very important injured players back playing.

December looks both brilliant and nightmarish. Get a bit of momentum going and we might rapidly climb that league. Keep the current slump going and we might find ourselves in a world of trouble.

It’s an interesting season with loads still to play for which could go any way from here.

[where'stheslope]

Lots of green tinted specs on here tonight, just watched the game from Tiny and if your not impressed with that, your not a football fan!
The game could have ended up 10-4, with the amount of saves both keepers made.
If we had played like that, this forum would have us winning the Europa Cup!
Credit where its due, I could watch games like that every week.

Didn't watch it and have no reason to. However I'd expect the Hertz to finish 3rd this season. They have the same promotion boost that we got under Lennon in 2017/18. They'll no finish any higher, Celtc/Huns will be top 2 no doubt about that. Hibs on the other hand? **** me. We're a bit of a basket case at the moment. I'd be happy with top 6.

Exactly, both teams with high tempo and fight. Something that we sadly just don’t have. Was a cracking game going by the highlights and we’ll be lucky to finish above either team this season which is pathetic really given our position of strength in finishing 3rd last season.

I watched the game through my fingers as, and I hate to say this, they were excellent. The score didn't reflect the game as Utd also played well. Hertz have recruited well over the summer and have so much pace in mindfield and up front. That Devlin is a *****hawk who is going to end up with a sore face.

In terms of stability though, they are behind us and a couple of wins will see us back in the mix. I still think that Hibs will be in the top 2 at the season end.

Has the minutes' silence ever been aborted before? That seems like Celtic have taken it even further this time.

Pretty much what I was coming on to type myself. I’ll bet they think the tennis ball thing was cleverly linked to some message. Absolute fuds.

Ruining the respects being paid to the fallen of the war not a surprise anymore but it’s just about only them that could do it and try to justify it as well.

Moronic shower of scaffs.

[gbhibby]

Now it's up to the SPFL to have the balls and fine the club. Oh wait no strict liability, surely it now needs to be introduced into our game.

[Hibernian Verse]

Jota yards offside.

[hibee-boys]

Singing during the minutes silence and some tennis ball ‘protest’. Not sure if it’s related in any way to rememberance Sunday but the singing shows the class of a, no doubt, sizeable proportion of the Celtic support. “But….but…..but…..they’re not as bad as the other side of Glasgow”, at least Rangers fans are honest bigots!

[Hibernia&Alba]

There should be strict liability, same as in Europe, but the SFA will never stand up to the Old Firm.

IMHO, they are definitely less bad than Rangers when it comes to sectarianism, but that's a different issue.

No, but I mean in general. The problems the bigot brothers create could be stopped if there was the will at the SFA. However, it's been said a million times and nothing will change.

[gbhibby]

No but throwing stuff on the pitch would.

From the BBC


Celtic fans threw a number of tennis balls onto the pitch.
It's part of their protest against the potential appointment of Bernard Higgins, former Assistant Chief Constable of Police Scotland, to a position at the club.
Some stewards were throwing the balls back into the stands to clear the pitch, and back they came.

[Lago]

Celtc fans are complete ******s.
Your absolutely correct, if there is one thing I despise with a passion is people who, even if they don't agree with remembrance of the fallen, can't keep their mouths shut for 1 minute. I say that as someone whose father was torpedoed by a U boat in the N. Atlantic but survived, a father in law evacuated at Dunkirk, landed in Normandy, taken prisoner & survived, a Uncle who lies in a Commonwealth Graves Commission cemetery in Germany.
I'm sure there are many in this country who could tell a similar tale.

[Sir David Gray]

:agree: Horrible club.

[easty]

I always look forward to the poppy police about this time of year.

[heretoday]

That isn't a crime. Lots of people decide not to wear a poppy each year. It's a free society.

When I were't nipper people didn't wear poppies till the day or so before Remembrance Day.

These were people who had actually fought in both wars and lost comrades.

It's an industry now, driven by the media who get a lot of mileage out of it. Sick.

[hibsbollah]

I have no problem with no poppies on the shirts, but the booing…terrible really.

[Moulin Yarns]

Sheffield Wednesday v Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup on the telly (STV) just now and some guy called Kamberi is playing, looks like he would be good cover for our strikers. :wink:

Celtic fans don’t observe/disrupt the silence every year, a lot of folk get angry and call them a disgrace etc then tomorrow it’s all forgotten about till this time next year.

I’d say most folk aren’t really that offended as they know fine well the annual pantomime that is played out with Remembrance Day and Celtic. It’s old news and few have the appetite to go over the same arguments year on year.

[superfurryhibby]

Yes, agreed. We all know that some Celtic fans will never respect a minute's silence for the British armed forces. Whether one agrees with that or not, everyone has a right to protest in a free society, and nobody should be compelled to participate.

Again, on the wider issue of Old Firm behaviour, I think we need strict liability, but, given the Old Firm run the game, it will never happen.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

That doesn't mean that disrupting a silence is acceptable. I can't fathom the mentality of anyone who has a problem commemorating the service of those who have given their lives but sadly they exist. The way to not participate is to stay away from the stand until its over and not actively try to disturb it.

We all know it's more complicated than that. The history of the British army is a complex one, exemplifying both the best and the worst that human beings are capable of. However, this is a football thread, so it's best not to get into detailed discussions. Suffice to say the experiences that various peoples and nations have had of the British armed forces differ greatly.

[Iggy Pope]

Tennis balls. Really? Beach balls are ok I suppose.

Do we have a minutes silence forced on us at every gathering like we do at the football? Does it happen anywhere else in the world? It’s very British which makes it completely tiresome.

[Iggy Pope]

Nobody should be throwing anything onto the pitch.

I agree but they can hardly be described as missiles or dangerous and if it got to that then we ourselves would be liable for a bit of bother now and again.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Do we have a minutes silence forced on us at every gathering like we do at the football? Does it happen anywhere else in the world? It’s very British which makes it completely tiresome.

I take zero pride in being British and I’m not a particularly big fan of the British army or indeed the British empire. I don’t find it remotely difficult or tiring to take a minute to pay respect to those who died at war so that we have the freedom today to be as crass, arrogant and unappreciative as we want.

It’s really not complicated. That’s just used by way of excuse for Celtic fans acting like utter pricks as usual. It’s never their fault, and it’s always okay because the Huns are a bit worse.

As someone noted before, at least the huns know what they are.

[WeeRussell]

Aye I thought he would see red when I seen the replay. Looked like a very rash and high challenge. He does ‘bounce’ off the top of the ball which I think makes it look worse in the end, but it’s still a dangerous challenge and was surprised VAR didn’t decide to send him packing.

Someone joked about Porteous above and I actually thought of him in that way that you can’t go in high skiffing your studs over the top of the ball like that, as it can easily lead to reckless looking challenges like this… well, I guess in this case you can!

He rushes the tackle and his foot bounces off the ball. It's unfortunate, and as long as we have sliding tackles ,there will be instances of it. For me, it's a booking.

I’ll be unappreciative whenever I feel the need. We continue to commemorate Douglas Haig’s vanity project, which sent a generation to a pointless and painful death, over a century on. It’s a stretch to suggest that those men and women died in order that a few neds could be free to boo and toss tennis balls around.
Even down there in England’s big cities, where empty tracksuits get kicked around, they appear to have this ‘paying of respect’ trend rammed down their throats in a manner that, even 20 years back, clearly wasn’t observed with such endless, passionate and patriotic vigour as it is now. You can’t be seen on the BBC without a poppy! It’s a new thing and it’s tiring, triumphalist, boring. And not anything that should ever need debated on a football forum, Celtic fans or not, as I don’t recall this need for respect being a necessity until it became this national fashion. Britain first, Farage, Rod Liddell, Katie Hopkins line up here.

Betis v Sevilla starting a bit slow but another big derby.Finished Betis 0 Sevilla 2 . Betis with 10 players for a long time . Got me calculating that next month it`ll be 35 years since we played Sevilla in Sanchez Pizjuan stadium . Massive stadium at the time though there were only about 5000 at the match on a very rainy Tuesday night . I was living in Seville at the time so it was fantastic for me though I remember being down after hearing about Alex Miller`s appointment ( Seville match was Miller`s second game in charge aftyer a goalless draw v Rangers at ER on previous Saturday ) . I was at game with 3 Partick Thistle fans who lived in Seville at the time but there was a group of about 40 Hibbies who had travelled over via Costa del Sol so good chance someone else on hibs.net will have been there . Don`t remember much about the game except that we lost 2 v 0 and Kano was sent off ( lot of stuff carried on from friendly at Holy Ground previous August ) . I remembe there was a good poster of the game and apparently a match programme too .

It's unlikely to matter unless we get something against Denmark.

Sweden will probably now finish second in that group after tonight's defeat as they play Spain away in their last game who will now likely top the group.

Sweden have 15 points and unless we pick up something v Denmark we'll have 14 points and so they'll finish above us in the runners up table.

[Sir David Gray]

Sweden currently have 15 points, and will surely lose points when the ones earned v the bottom team are deducted?

Sweden's in a group of 5, the only teams who have points deducted are those in a group of 6 (like Scotland) - their results against the team that finishes 6th are wiped for the purposes of working out the play off seedings.

Sweden's actual points tally will be what they take forward to the play off qualification.

All of this is too complicated for an auld goat like myself, but got it now ( I think).

[Sir David Gray]

All of this is too complicated for an auld goat like myself, but got it now ( I think).

Basically there's 5 groups of 5 and 5 groups of 6, it would be unfair if the teams in a group of 6 kept their actual points as they play 2 more matches than the teams in a group of 5 who do not play against the so called weakest teams in Europe.

Therefore the teams who finish 2nd in the groups of 5 keep their actual points tally for the purposes of determining seedings for the play offs and the teams who finish 2nd in the groups of 6 have their results against the team that finishes 6th in their group wiped for the purposes of determining seedings for the play offs.

So if Sweden finish 2nd in their group of 5 on 15 points then they'll keep their 15 points for the play off seedings and if Scotland finish 2nd in their group of 6 on 20 points, but 6 of those points were against Moldova who finish bottom of the group, Scotland would have 14 points to take forward for the play off seedings and would therefore be behind Sweden.

In short, Scotland need to finish 2nd (obviously) and realistically they also need to get something v Denmark to be seeded so they can be on at least 15 points as 14 points is unlikely to be enough to be seeded.

Funnily enough a loss tonight and a win on Monday would be much better than a win tonight and a loss on Monday as long as Moldova finish bottom of the group.

Thank you for that.

I assume the sixth team in the group will be in a super minnow category all of their own when the initial draw was made. Without considering it too much, it seems a bit of a farce that teams like Moldova, Andorra, Gibraltar, Lichtenstein etc are punted straight in to groups, there should be some kind of pre - group qualifying for the minnow.

Yes there's 55 teams in UEFA and a team from each of the top 5 pots (which is based on rankings at the time of the draw) are split equally amongst the 10 groups.

That leaves 5 teams in pot 6 - for this qualifying campaign those 5 teams were Malta, Moldova, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar and San Marino. They each go into 5 of the groups to make up a group of 6.

Only Malta look like they might avoid finishing bottom of their group.

Unsure about Balogun, Aribo, Bassey and Sakala.

Just checked - Balogun and Aribo are also away with Nigeria.

Thanks mate. Livefootballontv.com usally has it listed.

6 points needed but the Belgium game will be tough.

[Sir David Gray]

Basically there's 5 groups of 5 and 5 groups of 6, it would be unfair if the teams in a group of 6 kept their actual points as they play 2 more matches than the teams in a group of 5 who do not play against the so called weakest teams in Europe.

Therefore the teams who finish 2nd in the groups of 5 keep their actual points tally for the purposes of determining seedings for the play offs and the teams who finish 2nd in the groups of 6 have their results against the team that finishes 6th in their group wiped for the purposes of determining seedings for the play offs.

So if Sweden finish 2nd in their group of 5 on 15 points then they'll keep their 15 points for the play off seedings and if Scotland finish 2nd in their group of 6 on 20 points, but 6 of those points were against Moldova who finish bottom of the group, Scotland would have 14 points to take forward for the play off seedings and would therefore be behind Sweden.

In short, Scotland need to finish 2nd (obviously) and realistically they also need to get something v Denmark to be seeded so they can be on at least 15 points as 14 points is unlikely to be enough to be seeded.

Funnily enough a loss tonight and a win on Monday would be much better than a win tonight and a loss on Monday as long as Moldova finish bottom of the group.

Been checking out the situation with the seedings and Scotland are currently the 5th best second placed team and the top 6 are seeded so all good so far.

However a defeat to Denmark would mean that we would remain on 14 points and therefore meaning we cannot improve upon our current position. Therefore we can only afford for one of the five teams who are currently behind us to overtake us in the remaining games to allow us to be seeded.

I cannot see any way that 14 points will be enough for a seeding. Big game for Scotland on Monday.

Shocking turnout for the under 21s, why are these games never played at Easter Road? I remember going to one a good few years ago when there was a goal scored straight from the kickoff, there was a decent crowd in for it. That ****hole across the city seems to host plenty of these games.

To be fair to play it right after a Scotland game is a joke. Play it tomorrow much bigger crowd

Yes and to be fair I’ve noticed that there’s fans in the other stands as well.

Been ok for the u21's, looks like Levein in charge of Kazakhstan so finding it hard to break down.

Doig linked up well early with Middleton and have been impressed with Fiorini.
