2022-23 season non-Hibs games thread

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Hearts are a gang of thugs.

[He's here!]

We’re only 3 points ahead and they have a game in hand.

Not the worst way to end a weekend during which we got beat 6-1.

Next to nothing between most of the sides outwith the top two so it's important we get back to winning ways on Friday.

[Sir David Gray]

Aberdeen 2-0 Hearts full time.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Heresy for some but Andy Robertson looks like the weakest link in this team at the moment. Poor delivery and losing his battles.

He seems to be struggling for form, but he hasn't been dropped, unlike Alexander-Arnold as the other full back.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Aberdeen 2-0 Hearts full time.

Have that, ye *****.

[Irish_Steve]

He seems to be struggling for form, but he hasn't been dropped, unlike Alexander-Arnold as the other full back.

Alexander Arnold is injured not dropped

[Green Reaper]

Ft 2-0, dons go 4th

[NAE NOOKIE]

Is it just me, or is this season beginning to look remarkably like the last one with nobody able to put a long run of games together before hitting the buffers, it seems anybody is capable of losing to anybody. The Yams profited from it last season, could it be too much to ask that it could be us this one?

It seems to me 3rd is there for the taking for any club that can rise slightly above average.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Alexander Arnold is injured not dropped

Hasn't he been dropped recently? He's on the bench today.

[Irish_Steve]

Aye, the least crap team gets third

3rd is there for the taking. We need to put points on the board pre the World Cup break, as we have a few tough away fixtures in December and early January

[Pagan Hibernia]

I make that 10 defeats out of the last 14 for the maroon roasters.

you’re doing fine work Robbie, keep it up.

[Irish_Steve]

Apologies, I thought they said he was out injured

We've got to be happy with that. That's horrendous form.

[Hibernia&Alba]

He's had a torrid time recently; Liverpool have been conceding a lot of goals.

[WeeRussell]

Apologies, I thought they said he was out injured

I think it’s a bit of both. On the bench but not fully fit.

[weecounty hibby]

We really need to win on Friday night. Put yesterday in the past, learn from it, both players and manager and get back on another decent run. 3rd place is definitely ours for the taking. Strange to say after being pumped but the weekend has left us where I probably expected come Sunday night

[hibsbollah]

He's had a torrid time recently; Liverpool have been conceding a lot of goals.

Also scored a cracking free kick the other week. You know what you’re getting with Trent.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Aye, much better going forward than in defence, like a lot of modern full backs.

It seems to me 3rd is there for the taking for any club that can rise slightly above average.

Our 4 wins on the trot is the best run that any side has put together so far this season outside of Celtic and Rangers.

That's why I think the next two games are so vital for us to win to allow us to put the last two defeats behind us and try and put a little gap between us and the chasing pack.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Were City fans just singing GSTK? :confused:

Yep. Every team (except Everton!) does that now to wind up Liverpool after they booed it at Wembley

[Hibernia&Alba]

There is a loyalist element in the City support.

This is Robertsons first start for ages.

[Sir David Gray]

5 wins in 22 competitive games for them.

[Aldo]

Wonder who Robbie Klopp will blame today??

Wasn't he injured previously?

I thought Salah was going to bury that. Great save.

[Sir David Gray]

Oh dear Salah. :faf:

Ruled oot. Harsh.

This is going to be ruled out.

Edit - Confirmed no goal.

[Sir David Gray]

Jota should probably score that.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Napoli 0-1 Bologna

[Hibernia&Alba]

Aye, it was a foul by Haaland. The goal had to be overturned.

[greenlex]

This is going to be ruled out.

Edit - Confirmed no goal.
For everyone that’s not a fan of VAR imagine the sheer joy of celebrating a disallowed goal against hearts. Magic.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Liverpool ahead - Salah

[Hibernia&Alba]

That was brilliant from Salah.

[hibsbollah]

Oh dear Salah. :faf:

Indeed. Boom.

[Irish_Steve]

What an assist from Alisson!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Indeed. Boom.

He hasn't been playing well this season, but he's a great player who seems to be re-finding his form.

[Hibernia&Alba]

What an assist from Alisson!

Big time.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Well if we get them in the Europa League next year I'm not doing it

don’t be so defeatist.

we’ll be getting them in the champions league

[MWHIBBIES]

For a side supposedly skooshing the league, City are going 4 behind the leaders.

[WhileTheChief..]

It seems to me 3rd is there for the taking for any club that can rise slightly above average.

I think the league is far more competitive this year from 3rd down.

If Aberdeen win their game in hand, they will only be 10 points off the bottom placed club.

When’s the last time things were so close? Usually one or two sides would already be looking like relegation candidates, but this season, any of us could quickly find ourselves in the bottom two.

Long runs of wins are pretty rare for any non-old form teams. Did Hearts manage 5 or on the bounce last year? I don’t know, but I doubt it.

I reckon things will bounce along like they have with 4 or 5 sides fighting it out for 3rd going into March / April.

[Irish_Steve]

wtf was Darwin playing at, there was me thinking he would evolve into a good player…..

[Sir David Gray]

Klopp sent off.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I think Van Dijk has been superb. The first defender I've seen have Haaland in his pocket.

[Sir David Gray]

That's terrible from Nunez, so selfish.

[HH81]

What a great game. Still best two teams in premiership.

[Irish_Steve]

Nunez should have set up a third!

[HoboHarry]

Don't have much time for Carvalho's feigning injury, seems to be at it every game. Hope they knock that out of him.

[Irish_Steve]

Don't have much time for Carvalho's feigning injury, seems to be at it every game. Hope they knock that out of him.

Sadly they all do it, Foden was down in the first half as if he had a career ending injury but swiftly got up when City were on the attack

[Onion]

Fantastic game. Only annoying thing has been the replays being shown over live action. Is the producer not watching the game :greengrin ?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Massive win for Liverpool. I honestly think Pep is afraid of Klopp. He seems to go into his shell against them.

[The Modfather]

Still think Man City will win the league by 10 or 15 points in the end. However, missed penalties, VAR overturning a red card and a penalty against Leeds. You do wonder if, a bit like Leicester, the stars are aligning for Arsenal to win the league.

[Sir David Gray]

Well done Liverpool, that result puts them back into contention for a spot in the Conference League.

Unless there's a takeover. United really need a Chelsea/Man City/Newcastle moment. Money is the only way to success now.

[MWHIBBIES]

Do they ****. United have plenty of money. They are just run by idiots. Liverpool and Arsenal showing it can be done.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Do they ****. United have plenty of money. They are just run by idiots. Liverpool and Arsenal showing it can be done.

They don't have enough money to compete with City, because millions are being taken out the club in Glazer debt repayments. Of course they are owned and run by idiots, but that's another reason they need new owners.

[Highwayman]

Billy Gilmour seems to be classic hero to zero story.

Not so long he was the coming man and a firm favourite with Steve Clarke.

Then Chelsea huckled him off to Brighton for petty cash.

He wasn’t used in the recent Scotland games and yesterday he was unused sub again for Brighton.

Is it a serious loss of form or are there other issues which have caused this ?

[Keyser Sauzee]

Unless there's a takeover. United really need a Chelsea/Man City/Newcastle moment. Money is the only way to success now.

United need money?? That can’t be a serious comment. They need the Glazers to bolt but saying they need money is mental

[Hibernia&Alba]

United need money?? That can’t be a serious comment. They need the Glazers to bolt but saying they need money is mental

The Glazers are the reason the club is bleeding money. United need new owners who put money in, not take it out. There is nothing mental about it, it's cause and effect. The Glazers have allowed the club to rot, but only vastly wealthy people can buy them out. They need a takeover.

[MWHIBBIES]

They don't have enough money to compete with City, because millions are being taken out the club in Glazer debt repayments. Of course they are owned and run by idiots, but that's another reason they need new owners.

United just spent 200 million in the window passed. Net.

Its 100% the running. The poor recruitment, poor squad and poor management. They have more than enough to compete with City.

Man U have spent more than City, and everyone else, the last 10 years. How much they spend isn’t why Man U are where they are IMO.

They do not have enough to compete with City. City's owners spend their own money to improve the squad. United's owners rack up debt; they haven't put in a single penny of their own money in seventeen years, not even to buy the club. It's financed by revenue plus borrowing. United's debt has recently increased by over £100 million, which isn't sustainable.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Man U have spent more than City, and everyone else, the last 10 years. How much they spend isn’t why Man U are where they are IMO.

City's owners have put net £2 billion in. United's owners have taken a fortune out net during the same period. The funding gap is enormous; the Glazers do not have the money to compete with the richest clubs. They are not in that league of wealth.

[The Modfather]

City's owners have put net £2 billion in. United's owners have taken a fortune out net. The funding gap is enormous; the Glazers do not have the money to compete with the richest clubs.

Man U could have the Man City squad just now. They have spent more money than it cost Man City to assemble it. The Glaziers are poor owners, but the money they have spent isn’t the issue, it’s how poorly they spend it IMO.

How have Liverpool and Arsenal managed to put far better sides than United on the pitch without a billion from their owners?

[Irish_Steve]

It's simple, the refs have all escaped from Fergie's pocket

The money they have spent is the issue, because it's panic buys as a result of zero strategy. Their leadership is horrific: do nothing then borrow, in the hope it might work. They are clueless and have taken hundreds of millions out of the club. No plan, no vision, just debt-ridden hit and hope. United's financials are terrifying.

[Hibernia&Alba]

How have Liverpool and Arsenal managed to put far better sides than United on the pitch without a billion from their owners?

They haven't, United have beaten both this season, but that doesn't excuse the criminal negligence of the Glazers. United desperately need new ownership for better leadership, strategy and investment. United are now back in the eighties, hoping for something to turn up. It isn't good enough for one of the biggest clubs in the world. It's a massive failure.

[hibsbollah]

PSG -Marseille on the way. Home team big favourites as usual.

[theonlywayisup]

Heresy for some but Andy Robertson looks like the weakest link in this team at the moment. Poor delivery and losing his battles.

Not sure that I agree with the above. I actually thought Andy Robertson displayed a great work ethic that has been sorely lacking from some in recent games. Considering it's been his first start for a number of weeks, I thought he played well today.

You surely don't think Liverpool, who have won league, CL and both cups, since United last won anything, are worse than United based on 1 match?

Arsenal are 11 clear of United now, after finishing 11 clear of United last season.

Both are better right now. Both have done it without billions from owners.

He did pick up a bit second half, most of the first half when I posted every attack seemed to break down with a loose pass.

Klopp is a great manager, no doubt, and has also spent a lot of money. Arsenal have done nothing, and both are smaller clubs than United. Their teams are not massively better than United's, but the issue is United's ownership. Increasing debt and having no strategy cannot continue. Until United get proper owners, like City and Liverpool, they will keep digging a deeper hole. Robbing Peter to pay Paul cannot last. It's all a matter of having the right people leading a club. United are rudderless and need new ownership who will create a net spend and appoint the right people. United should still dominate English football, but the Glazers are ruining a great club; even the stadium has been allowed to rot. It's shameful, they are asset strippers.

[hibsbollah]

Very good game now in Paris. Pao Lopes keeping OM in it with 4 good saves but marseille could have got a couple as well. 0-0 halfway through the first.

Yes, he has spent a lot of money. He has spent it far better than United have and won everything there is to win because of that. He did not need a billionaire owner.

Arsenal look better than United this season and were last season as well. Now, Ten Haag may change this, he is a good manager, and United have good players signed with the billions they have spent, but right now, I aint swapping either of those squads for Uniteds.

Glazers are rotten, but they aren't the only reason for United failing on the pitch.

I disagree here. Their toxic ownership and debt strategy is entirely to blame. They inherited a genius in Alex Ferguson, who covered for their deficiencies, but since then it's been negligence and decay. Without leadership you have chaos, and Man United have been chaotic since the great man retired, because the owners have no idea. They are not football fans; they are asset strippers who have been overtaken by the likes of Man City and have no clue what do next. After Fergie retired, they should have gone for best in the business and taken a serious investigation into their model for United going forward. They have been absent, negligent and incompetent. As a United fan I despise them. A great club has been allowed to atrophy because of their greed and idiocy.

I mean, you could argue the guys they are employing, dafties like solskjaer, and giving them silly money to spend on past their best superstars like Ronaldo is ultimately their fault. That is true. But its who united are signing, not the money they do or don't have. They have spent more than enough money.

[MWHIBBIES]

That is true. Its the people they are employing, though, not just the money they are spending.

Don't forget, club legend Fergie having a meltdown over some horse ***** is the reason you've got the Glazers. For such a genius, he really make a mistake there. :wink:

On borrowed money and revenue but with no vision. The owners have not injected a penny of their own money. There is no plan; it happened after Matt Busby retired and it has happened again. "Let's just wait for another Scottish genius to come along", isn't a strategy. It's a total mess.

I don't know whether that is true, but it wouldn't be a surprise. From dominance to a complete mess. It's inexcusable, the Glazer years have been totally corrupt and unforgivable. Taking a huge club from being in the black to a basket case in hundreds of millions of debt is outrageous. They should never have been allowed to take over Man United via high interest leveraged debt. Nobody should be allowed to purchase any club on those terms.

After their success in Florence, particularly second half, which was #ohsobrave, the Tynecastle Outfit as the Third Force in Scottish Football by the proverbial country mile, will have been disappointed not to have taken All Three Points."

From a selfish point of view want a Killie win. If United win, the semi is the weekend we play them in January. So a Saturday game will get moved to midweek

As an aside noticed Doidge is starting although he played in the group stages for Hibs. Must have changed the rules

Be for Killie now too even though I dislike Lafferty a lot .

This round of English Prem games are on Amazon Prime

I like the staggered starts and the fact that you can watch whichever game you want

Penalty Killie - quite what the defender is meant to do is beyond me.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp charged by FA after red card against Man City - BBC Sport (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63298914) Klopp charged by the FA over his conduct on the touchline, quite rightly, it's wasn't pleasant viewing watching his anger at the linesman

After a weekend of high-profile figures confronting match officials (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63299433), Ten Hag said at his news conference on Tuesday that his club had "always" accepted the referee's decision.

what a load of utter crap, how long has Ten Hag been at 'his' club ? 10 minutes or sommit ffs


football players should take a leaf out of rugby players imo and show some respect, it's absolutely ridiculous nowadays watching several football players surrounding referees, do they think he's going to say 'oh ok i'll change my decision then' pushing/jostling around football referees is just not pleasant viewing :agree:

Been watching the Brighton game, Forest are a poor side, but I really cannae believe they spent £25m (which could potentially rise to £42m) on that Gibbs-White guy.

Forest are struggling due to bringing in around 14 players or something like that, taking a while to gel.

Wouldn’t think it would make much difference but boy it’s really annoying!

I think they brought in 22. However, they only had something like 5 players on the books so needed numbers in

Yeah. Shocking decision. Typical Clancy. And to think we have him on Friday. VAR will be busy!!

I like Klopp, he's been great for English football but his behaviour at the weekend was a disgrace and I hope he gets a really lengthy ban. That was out of control rage, in any other workplace in the world it would be grounds for instant dismissal.

Haven't seen the game - how has Doidge played?

Bit confused as to how Doidge is playing. Surely he's cup tied as he played for us earlier in the competition? Unless they don't count the group stage format?

[Donegal Hibby]

Have to mention Luton town tonight .What they are doing is quite remarkable considering the size of their club .Won away to Norwich city tonight .Think that's them 4th in championship .If they made the premier what a achievement that would be!

Well spotted 👍🏻

I counted the wins and managed to miscount the losses from the link below, before assuming the remaining total were draws.

https://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/referee.php?id=135

Looking at it again there's a couple of results missing from their data so even without my miscounted losses it still wouldn't have tallied up.

Note to self ... take socks and shoes off when counting 🥴🤣

Just as I say that Furuhashi should score again, one on one with the keeper and he makes himself big and saves the shot but Furuhashi should score.

Motherwell look very competitive since Hammell took over.

Well, aye Motherwell have had one or two chances but I wouldnt say they have exactly competed well - if Celtic had been 5 up at half time, it wouldnt have flattered them.

Motherwell 29 % possession at home, 0 corner kicks, 1 shot on target.

They are miles ahead of everyone at the moment, and while we got battered on Saturday - we wont be the last on this form.

Being 1-0 down at half time compared to 3-0 down at half time is competing better, in the first half anyway. Seems they’ve had a bit of a collapse now as well

[NC1875]

He’s been out injured then played on Sunday, probably easing him back in.

I only seen the 2nd half but the difference between the sides was remarkable. Man u were working so hard closing down and trying to get the ball back. They were playing like their season depended on it. Spurs played like it was a pre-season friendly. A severe lack of cohesion and commitment, very slow and laboured.

[Souter96Mac]

Spotted Johnson, Kensell and Gordon Jnr at Newcastle train station tonight after the Toon Everton game.

Yes, you never know what you will get on any given day. Thet played very well tonight but could be awful in their next game. It will take Ten Hag time to get them consistent.

Pretty sure the game is at Spurs stadium.

United were fantastic last night as they were against Liverpool & Arsenal at OT. I don't think any of the 'top 6' have beaten another top 6 club away yet this season.

Two decent games on tonight, could be the end of both Gerrard & Rodgers if they lose.

That Leon Bailey for Villa is a lazy *******.

He's been treated pretty poorly by Gerrard and Villa and he looks deflated as anything. Was signed for a big fee, injured first season, second year Gerrard promised hed be a main player after a cracking pre-season, so what does he do, goes and touts him out to other clubs at the end of the window and gives him one start every 5 games. It's chronic stuff from Gerradd ruining some very good players.

I remember him being a good player pre-Villa, he’s no bothered his arse tonight though, putting in absolute minimum effort, no good enough like.

[Northernhibee]

Decent pop at goal SJM

[JamesHFC]

Villa could be ambitious and try to get someone like Tuchel, Poch or Emery.. none of which I think would actually take the job but that's who the Villa fans want/expect. Gerrard is on £4m per year, they will have to spend a lot more than that to attract a top manager.

Also worth mentioning the loss of Michael Beale, he's doing a great job at QPR, obviously knows his stuff. Gerrard lost without him perhaps.

Aye, **** him. Always had a wee soft spot for Villa and SJM is my all time favourite Hibs player but I want nothing but absolute failure for Gerrard. A man who clearly had a deep dislike for Hibs and bought into the Hun traditions and believed they were always the victims

They have the money to get them, the owners are pretty active as well tbf. Even with Beale it was average at best though, without him it's chronic.

The reluctance to play Buendia is baffling too. Consistently Villas's best player, but never gets a run of games

[cameronw-hfc]

Nah, he's awful, from a Villa fan. He's our set piece coach, yet were the worst team in the league at defending them, and rarely score from them unless Dougie is shooting from corners, which in itself is a bit bizarre but he seems to score a few.

Won't happen now he's been sent off though.

There's also the baffling Cam Archer situation. Scores every time he plays, Ings and Watkins can't get a goal, Ings can't even run now, Gerrard wouldn't let Cam go back in loan as he said he's a first team player now, so what does he do , keeps the boy that scores goals on the bench all season and gives him a total of like 35 mins combined all season. So confusing.
