2022-23 season non-Hibs games thread

[JimBHibees]

Without the Irish War of Independence fought between the Irish Republican Army (IRA) & the British there would be no Irish Republic, hardly surprising that their supporters are republicans & may sing the odd ditty of that nature, every country celebrates its national heroes, myths etc, not least us Scots, only seems to be a problem when it's Ireland.

I get that I was just responding to the questions which songs were sung. That sort of song is never going to get a great reaction in Scotland.

You think that the singing of that song relates to the original IRA and dates back to 1919 etc?

OK then.............

I actually suspect that they are actually singing it because they are a bunch of dafties glorying in the more recent troubles.

Which marks them out as ********s in my book (in exactly the same way as anyone glorying in the UVF etc would).

You’d think the Scottish fans could unite as one, really poor!

I remember going to watch Scotland in the 70’s and 80’s, Kenny Dalglish didn’t get a very warm reception from a lot of Scotland fans, as he played for Celtic, and the Rangers element in the Scotland support didn’t like him

[Lago]

It would seem that booing at football is OK sometimes, but not at others, based on the past 2 weeks.

Hearts fans will be happy for once.

The big difference is that Welsh speakers in Wales vastly outnumber Gaelic speakers in Scotland.

Over 20% of people in Wales can speak Welsh but Gaelic is only spoken by around 1% of people in Scotland and outside the Western Isles it's barely spoken at all.

Makes the number of Gaelic road and rail station signs seem rather excessive. I get it when they're in regions where Gaelic is spoken but a lot of the railway signs are simply made up (ie they have no Gaelic equivalent). Haymarket for example has never had a Gaelic equivalent so the name you see on the signage is simply the Gaelic words hay and market stuck together. Pretty daft.

Team for tomorrow night could be interesting with the recent squad announcements with Tierney, McKenna and McTominay out and McKay and Kingsley in.

With what we have, I'd like to see

Gordon
Hendry Porto Kingsley
Fraser McGregor Gilmour McGinn Hickey
Christie
Adams

However I can see Clarke going with Gallagher ahead of Porto with the previous international experience.

I've no issue with Hearts players getting called up but I'm surprised at Kingsley. No slight on him as a player but upfront is really where we're lacking - I'd almost rather he'd called up McKay and Shankland.

It's some depth of squad we're missing when you think of all who isn't playing. Classic Scotland - get ourselves in a great position to qualify, some form of **** hits the fan, end up lamenting said **** and what could have been.

[Hibee Ryan]

Was lots of booing near us, abuse for James McLean etc & met a guy on the train home who got a kicking after celebrating the Ireland goal. Piss poor, we were in the home end in Dublin in June & it couldn't have been much more different.

Just to sort out this point. McLean was booed at the corner for their goal as he was being a prick to one of the ball boys, as he went across to take it, and shouting at him. Nothing to do with any of his history, just what he done on the night. He never got booed before that, got booed before the corner was taken then gave it to the cupped ears to the Scotland fans after the goal, and got booed for the rest of the game.

[Highwayman]

Surprised at some of the players being called up before Chris Cadden.

Has Steve Clarke ever bothered about having a look at one of the most consistent players in Scottish football in this season and last.

[grunt]

Hickey fit and Ralston there as back up so don’t really see a place for Cadden.

One thing with Clarke, he will pick players from throughout the league when deserved or there is a place for them.

What is the point in linesmen (other sexes are available) / asst refs if they cant even stick a flag up for offside nowadays? might as well wait until VAR decides

[Sylar]

Officials are having a shocker so far - if not a penalty, it 100% had to be a corner. Ukraine's tackling has been brutal - amazing they're not down to 10 men.

And aye, the offside thing is doing my box in - just put the flag up if it's obvious! The chance where Gordon made a great save was an exception - that was clearly tight (and it actually looked like Hickey was playing him on), so I don't mind a late flag there.

Kenny McLean is a dreadful excuse for a footballer, and Greg Taylor behind him isn't much better.

[Mcbizz1998]

What’s with this Irish loser in the studio acting as if Ukraine have dominated?

Bitter from the weekend presumably.

[Bostonhibby]

Swap deal for MorelosI'll take him, a wee angry man to keep the cats out the garden is just what I need.

Give the dug a break as well as an intellectual soul mate.

They’re all at it.

[cabbageandribs1875]

From the commentary, it seems offside was awarded, but a goal kick was given. Is there some rule change I've missed?... at no point, in ANY of the off-sides, does the far side AR put his flag up.


i've been confused by a couple of decisions tonight ;)

[greenlex]

What is the point in linesmen (other sexes are available) / asst refs if they cant even stick a flag up for offside nowadays? might as well wait until VAR decides

The point is if they call it wrong it can’t be rectified. If they call it wrong after the ball is in the pokey then VAR can overule it and the goal stands. If it’s right it’s right and the goal is chalked off. I really don’t mind the delay as long as the right decision is made in the end.

The only thing I can think of that would result in a drop ball is if he’s technically awarded the penalty before the ball went out for the corner. If that’s the case, why he doesn’t do the cop out that all the other refs do and award the corner and let VAR award the penalty, I don’t know.

[cabbageandribs1875]

good save gordon

[cabbageandribs1875]

give that boy a 2nd yellow

[Mon Dieu4]

Def a 2nd yellow for taking out Porto but the ref has shat it

[Heisenberg]

give that boy a 2nd yellow

Has to be a second yellow card. Can’t believe he got away with it.

[hibsbollah]

good save gordon

And another.

[cabbageandribs1875]

referee has conveniently forgotten even having a word

[Sir David Gray]

good save gordon

Great save.

[J-C]

Ref having a shocker, let's the game carry on but the foul on Porteous is a yellow and would be a 2nd and a red.

[Since452]

good save gordon

World class keeper. He just is.

[Mon Dieu4]

Needs to change the midfield up, they just can't hold onto the ball

[hibsbollah]

Nish was NEVER offside as much as this #11

[cabbageandribs1875]

Hickey deserved yellow card

[jacomo]

He won’t be welcome back at Ibox then.


Wouldn’t be surprised if Rangers try to sign Porto.

[Sylar]

Clarke needs to make some changes, now. Jack, McLean and Taylor are defensive liabilities.

[Irish_Steve]

Nish was NEVER offside as much as this #11

And the #11 hasn't perfected the "hands on the knees, blowing out yer erse" look yet

[one day maybe...]

What a plum Thompson (Sp) is commentating on BBC Radio Scotland "buys fouls" Fekn clown

[cabbageandribs1875]

kingsley coming on

[SHODAN]

Guys remember Porteous needs to concentrate

[Sheffhibee]

We're gonna concede here we need to change things up front, we don't have an out-ball

[one day maybe...]

kingsley coming on

Ben "No,no,no,no,no,no" :greengrin

[Iain G]

kingsley coming on

Kingsley Coman on would be better 😁

[Since452]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Rangers try to sign Porto.

I'm really surprised Gerrard didn't try and sign him. Played against the likes of Pirlo, Keane and Lampard and I'd never seen him as rattled and obsessed about anyone as much as Porto.

[Hibs4185]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Rangers try to sign Porto.

Then he’ll be the best defender in Scotland and worth £20 million

[CMac1988]

The changes we should've made at half time.

[Jim44]

Bookies making Ukraine strong favourites to win this. I’m not watching it ……. are they really well on top?

[MelbourneHibees]

I'd have them favourites too from 2nd half perspective but not running us ragged.

[hibsbollah]

No

[Sir David Gray]

Bookies making Ukraine strong favourites to win this. I’m not watching it ……. are they really well on top?

I wouldn't say so.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Bookies making Ukraine strong favourites to win this. I’m not watching it ……. are they really well on top?

There’s only 15 minutes left. I’d suggest nobody could possibly be strong favourites to win at this stage.

[NC1875]

Hickey is superb

[cabbageandribs1875]

ROI blown a 2-0 lead v Armenia 2-2

[J-C]

Must say Hickey has been outstanding in this game, toss up between him and Porteous for MOM.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Hickey is superb

Yup, he’s a cracking player.

[HoboHarry]

Hickey is superb

But but but but......he's never played for the ugly sisters so he can't be....

[Jim44]

ROI have given away a two goal lead……. adds to Goodwin’s ‘week horriblis’.:greengrin

[Moulin Yarns]

I'm only looking at the BBC text of the game and Porto has not been mentioned once!

[cabbageandribs1875]

i'd hate to lose at this stage

[Up-the-slope]

Just found that Five live have Pat Nevin on their co-commentary... WHY did i not find this 80 mins ago

[Since452]

Hickey is superb

Yup. Destroyed us at Easter Road. How old was he? 17?

[cabbageandribs1875]

sjm made an erky of that one


great header back from RP to gordon

Hickey has made mistakes trying to beat people on the wing that could have led to trouble, Porto hasn't

[J-C]

Hickey, Hendry and Porteous have been immense, worked very well as a unit but Porteous has read the game superbly, little nicks away from the players, using his body strength, just oozing confidence.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Dykes picks up another yellow card

6 mins on the park

[J-C]

Different players, Hickey is a RB who'll get forward more than porteous, defensively Hickey has been very good.

[Mcbizz1998]

Not just saying it because of who he plays for but Kingsley looks well off it.

[Scorrie]

…and concentration 😈

[MelbourneHibees]

How does Michael Stewart see anything other than a yellow for Dykes there.

[J-C]

…and concentration 😈


Obviously :faf:

[cabbageandribs1875]

4+ mins

[Moulin Yarns]

Has Porteous not dived for a penalty yet? 😈

Hoickey will get the MOTM from Stewart. Been involved in a lot. Porty been very tidy but not overly challenged. Also just let the boy flick it over his head and run into box 2 mins ago.

[Hibs90]

Porteous has been excellent for his senior debut in a high pressure game :agree:

[cabbageandribs1875]

ukraine wanting a penalty



ukraine player on the bench picks up a yellow for complaining :)

[Hibs90]

Brilliant tackle.

What a player.

[Scorrie]

Some tackle from Porto there. A point promotes us to Group A?

To be fair it was a superb piece of play by the Ukrainian, would've beat most defenders.

[Joe6-2]

yes!

[cabbageandribs1875]

[Glory Lurker]

Sportsound surprised VAR didn't look at Porto challenge

Great tackle from Ryan...

VAR did but it was the briefest of checks - not like Sportsound to get it wrong

[Hibs90]

Commentators who aren't Scottish absolutely heaping praise on Porteous.

[cabbageandribs1875]

FT 0-0 damn well done :saltireflag:thumbsup:

Wow what a performance. Group A here we come!

[SHODAN]

It's ****in' great being Scottish.

What a performance in his first game Porteous, can be very proud of that son, man of the match performance.

[Joe6-2]

Sportsound surprised VAR didn't look at Porto challenge

shower of 💩

[NC1875]

Funny how much praise Ryan gets when he’s not wearing a Hibs strip. Brilliant tonight

[CmoantheHibs]

Fantastic achievement by this squad. Hats off to all of them. Glad Porto proved the doubters wrong.

Excellent result. :thumbsup:

Bang on, had to switch it early doors and the English commentators were very complimentary of Porteous, what's it come too when you would rather listen to English commentators than Scottish, dinosaur fuds

[Sylar]

Porto, Hickey and Hendry looked solid - always backing each other up when necessary. When you consider we have Robertson, Tierney, Patterson, McKenna, McTominay, the defensive side of our team is pretty stacked.

Midfield isn't bad either!

Ach, I hate that feeling of positivity around the national side - it's usually followed by that feeling of being bitten in the arse...

[J-C]

Hard fought draw, had to concentrate for the full 90 mins as Ukraine were guaranteed to have a right go tonight, well done.

[Donegal Hibby]

Well done guys .:aok:

[Keith_M]

Amazing achievement.


When do we play the really big teams?

[gbhibby]

Pat Nevin gushing about Ryan's performance. Sportsound at half time at their usual concentrating on Ryan and being critical about his positional sense, cannae help themselves.

Hopefully never need to see McTominay in defence ever again, he's a midfielder and has been very good there recently, that's where he should play.

[JohnM1875]

Was actually surprised how well Hendry and Porto played together. Thought both were excellent Porto slightly better cause he's a Hibs fan 😂

[SteveHFC]

Yassss

[A Hi-Bee]

Porto was outstanding, many are surprised the lad is class, never any doubt, he is Scotland Captain material with a bit of steel about him.
The wee hertz **** was good as well I have to admit, Henry pretty good, all around a good result, with the Englanders getting demoted or is it relegated I can never be sure nowadays.
