What a performance 7-0 :partyhibb

[BoomtownHibees]

Hecky’s at the wheel

[Wilson]

0-7

Superb.

Heckingbottom will surely go after this

You can imagine. I note Prettyboy's post about the quality of the Sheffield team. They are on a hiding to nothing in the top division.

They'll charge the manager though, just to be seen to be trying something.

[BILLYHIBS]

Hecky at the wheel

Feel sorry for the guy but this performance……

All over the shop

My favourite score tae

Dearie me

[supermcginn]

Isn't it amazing what a difference sportswashing can make to a team's results.

Aye it's all about money right enough, Chelsea have spent more than anyone in world football on a squad that already cost a fortune and can't win a game.

They are a team that lacks quality and I agree with him that they will continue to struggle.

As every team does just to try and appease the fans although I think they know they are on a hiding to nothing

Yeah after years of underspending there’s a new team on the block but still have to adhere to the new FFP…..

City, Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea have done it for years but it’s now sports washing [emoji1303]

[HoboHarry]

8-0 and 8 different scorers.

[Donegal Hibby]

Newcastle United :8:

[Up-the-slope]

8-0 and 8 different scorers.

I was wondering at 7 for 7 what the greatest number of scorers in one team in a match was ... anyone know?

Can you explain how those 4 scenarios are the same? Genuinely can't see how those 4 are identical?

[Northernhibee]

What a shame for Wes Foderingham. Especially after we apparently ruined 21st of May for ourselves.

[He's here!]

Not watching the game but I would imagine this week's events are playing a part in Sheff Utds performance.

Maddy Cusack's death has knocked them sideways this week, no question. I did actually wonder if the game would be postponed when I read Hecky's comments about how it had affected them.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

“Newcastle United are the first team in Premier League history to have eight different goalscorers in a single match.”

Just had a look at the Sheff Utd forum and the majority want Hecky sacked , only a few backing up for him in " We haven't got the money " , " lack quality players" etc . Feel abit for Hecky as he was always on a hiding to nothing once they got promoted.

Yep, done a great job there but as you say on a hiding to nothing when you find yourself spending pennies rather than Saudi billions.

They better not come after Monty.

He'd have nothing to gain by going there, they were always going to struggle and they'll be the first to be relegated regardless of who the manager is.

This has been a popular term recently. Not even sure I know what it means. Can you explain how Newcastle are Sportswashing (assume you meant newcastle). Genuine question.

[DH1875]

Bellingham playing up front.

Modric now playing as the striker. Mental how poor Real squad is all things considered.

2-0 Atletico.

[Donegal Hibby]

Rumours going that they were sounding out there ex manager Chris Wilder last week for the job .Hopefully to soon for Monty to be getting considered yet 🤞

'The use of sport to redirect public attention away from unethical conduct'.

Same as the World Cup - basically those in charge feeding off the knowledge that watching football trumps everything for most fans, who are prepared to turn a blind eye to the unsavoury backdrop to what they're watching.

Yeah I read the wiki definition. But how are Newcastle doing that?

[weecounty hibby]

I remember seeing after we lost 0-5 to Aston Villa that the Scottish league was a pub league!! Wonder how that's working out after that today

I am not watching it but Atletico 3 real 1😁

Been to the Vincent Calderón to see Atletico v getafe, and met a group of Aberdeen supporters not long after Fyvie joined.

I also thought it harsh. A yellow was enough, IMHO.

I feel for Sheffield United, that was a very tough lesson for them concerning EPL standards. Newcastle are now the richest club in the world and will only get stronger.

As much as Newcastle are getting stronger, that was piss poor from Sheff Utd. You shouldn’t be losing 8 goals. Some of the defending, or lack of, was brutal. At that level you cannae be turning in performances like that.

The accusation is that the Saudis are using Newcastle to 'sportswash' their country's less than wholesome image.

Sportswashing and corruption in football has been happening long before Newcastle United got new owners . Chelsea , Man city , Juventus, real Madrid, Barcelona. Your abit late now to start campaigning against it . Your absolutely right though Newcastle United have brilliant fans that are passionate and totally committed to there football club and will football them through thick and thin .

About Us (nufcfansagainstsportswashing.org.uk) (https://www.nufcfansagainstsportswashing.org.uk/about-us)

Most, though, simply appear happy to have got rid of Ashley and seen new owners come in who can buy their way to success. For the majority it appears human rights abuses are secondary to watching a winning football team.

I've always hated it. Don't care who it is. Newcastle were a football club. A cool, unique one. Not anymore.

No.

Newcastle United are still the same club with the same history they always had and have the same amazing fans who are passionate about there football club. Only thing that's changed is the the owners. Still a cool unique club.

They're not just 'new owners' though. If the Saudi dictatorship bought Hibs I'd have a problem continuing to support them. It fundamentally alters the character of the club IMO.

Of course, but it's a tad hypocritical to have a dig at Newcastle fans for doing nothing but support their team whilst purchase goods from a country with a horrific human rights right (including in the two areas you mention).

[He's here!]

The problem is bigger than just Newcastle. We now have two top flight clubs (Man City being the other one) owned by brutal dictatorships, while the Qatari regime owns Paris St Germain. As the NUFC Fans Against Sportswashing group points out, you have to question what sort of future for the game you are happy to accept for the sake of getting your football fix.

Newcastle fans worked hard to get rid of Ashley and also highlighted his zero-hours contracts for Sports Direct workers. Yet, huge numbers of them turned up at matches in Arab headwear to 'celebrate' being taken over by the murderous Saudi state. There's an out of sight out of mind attitude here which does not bode well for football. In fact, it's not even out of sight when you consider the fact Qatar hosted the World Cup, with little more than mealy mouthed condemnation from those taking part, as well as numerous 'right-on' pundits.

Certainly seems to have a problem with Newcastle alright and he doesn't half go on about it too . I didn't want to see Saudi owners at Newcastle United but there's very little the Joe soap Newcastle fan can do about it .

Turning there back on there club isn't a option and folk slagging the Newcastle fans for it is wrong too . I watched a programme years ago about clubs exploiting People in the manufacturing of there football shirts in they were getting paid basically peanuts, didn't stop the sales of football shirts though! Football has a ugly side corruption, sportswashing etc though in general most ordinary football fans just support there team and hope they win like the Newcastle fans .

You know what's probably happened there to that guy is he's given up his Newcastle United season ticket and somebody else now has it .When the ownership of the club changes hands again ( if it ever does ) he will probably be struggling to get a season ticket again. Morally fair play to the guy if he feels that way though what he's actually achieved by doing it I don't know .

As someone that's followed Newcastle United for many years I wanted more than anything to see Mike Ashley gone , I didn't want the Saudi owners though there was nothing I could do to stop it . Was I going to stop following Newcastle when the new owners were appointed ? Absolutely not . I will as always carry on following them and hoping every time they play they win . I can't change the habits of a lifetime I'm afraid.

I totally disagree with what some are doing in slagging off fans that simply want to support there team . There's seems to be abit of a crusade against Newcastle United on here when truth be told all of this should have been stopped a long time ago by higher powers than ordinary fans . It will happen again too , could possibly be Man United next and some fans might walk away though the vast majority will stay supporting there club too .

Which I've said is wrong on here before. You tried though.

[weecounty hibby]

Ive said this before in debates about the good/bad of our game. Let's be honest football is the most corrupt sport there is. Clubs/managers/teammates and fans in general are happy to see drunk drivers, rapists, wife beaters, murderers, racketeers, tax dodgers, con men, general nutcases and crooks play for, manage, own those teams as long as the team is doing well.

Edit. Just look at Fifa/ UEFA fir ultimate corruption in the game. Bribed to the max for decades

Football fans can wield a hell of a lot of power if they so wish and I agree with him that there's a line which has been crossed here. Once your club effectively becomes a representative of an oppressive regime it's questionable how much, if any, of it remains 'your' club. As I said earlier, I'd struggle to keep supporting Hibs under similar circumstances.

This Guardian piece sums it up well:

For the record there have been other issues you'e brought up before on this forum where I totally disagree with you, but not this one, in fact IMO you're spot on. Far too many people tuck away the evil of regimes like Saudi Arabia and Qatar and only bring it out when they're wanting to win some petty argument that matters only to them and the person they're arguing with. Football, even with all the widespread corruption and hyprocracy involved in it at many levels, is a welcome distraction for millions of people from the **** they have to deal with in their own lives. That's why you get perfectly intelligent, considerate and thoughtful people using double standards to focus on Newcastle beating Sheffield United 8-0 as opposed to, say, public beheadings taking place in Riyadh or Jeddah on the same day.

As you know the situation is a whole lot more complicated than that, but it was still a brilliant performance by Newcastle and Saudi Arabia are still an evil, abhorrent regime.

Very good.

Out of interest how many of us would go along with a Saudi takeover of Hibs if it delivered instant millions to spend and rapid on-field success? I do wonder how much Shankly's 'more important than life and death' maxim is genuinely embraced by football fans when I see some of the dismissive comments on here regarding Newcastle's/Man City's ownership.

Which dismissive comments leave you wondering that?

I haven’t studied the thread but have only seen people calling out what they perceive as hypocritical posting or double standards.

I can’t pretend to know the ins and outs of the Newcastle (or city) ownership so I tend not to get too involved in having an opinion one way or another, I was interested though to hear that in one of the documentaries (not sure which) someone involved in Newcastle alluded to a lot of stuff being directed their way without people actually knowing what they’re talking about, and lumping everyone together simply as “the Saudis”.

I’ve not seen anyone seriously suggesting that they don’t care about human rights issues because football is more important.

I'd love it. Imagine the old firm squealing about not being able to complete financially with Hibs and us winning everything every season. Would be amazing.

For what it's worth I absolutely abhor sports washing and I cannot stand the ease with which certain institutions have become comfy bedfellows.

I've sort of taken a decision to make jokes and take the piss at every possible opportunity, something I'm grateful every day that we're free to do in this country. There's very little can be done about these partnership so reminding those of such persuasions that their footballing success comes with a significant amount of blood on hands is important. Maybe they'll care, maybe they won't as 8-0 wins can't be that unpleasant to watch.

Hibs would become a very minor passing interest of mine if they were to end up in such ownership, there's certainly no way I'd put any money towards their success.

What has struck me is that our players risk injury on those surfaces at Livvy and Killie.
Yet here we have a club who have not been in the top flight for decades (Stirling Albion) having a real grass pitch that should put the aforementioned to shame.

My apologies. I should have said Stirling Albion at Forthbank.

Website suggests its natural grass

Albion Rovers play at Cliftonhill,Coatbridge. I read that is also grass.

Killie and Livvy should be telt to rip those limb tearing carpets up. or forfeit Premier status

I thought they Albion boy that got booked late in had already been booked?

[cabbageandribs1875]

has anyone else noticed watching any channel on sky sports recently that when it comes to adverts the sound shoots up :confused: then decreases when it goes back to the football, i've only noticed it the last few weeks, when the footy started


i was sure years ago a regulation was introduced for all Broadcasters they weren't allowed to increase the volume when adverts came on


i've done a little googling and it's obvious others have mentioned it both years ago and more recently

But the issue re killie and livvy cannae sustain .
The rules need to change .Their pitches are awful and dangerous in my view.

100% agreement with you Mick. Top flight teams should play on grass. Stirling used to have an artificial surface. I played on it. They got rid and the players much prefer playing on grass.

Your Probably right. Scott brown was seemingly in Inverness at the weekend as well

[He's here!]

For what it's worth I absolutely abhor sports washing and I cannot stand the ease with which certain institutions have become comfy bedfellows.

I've sort of taken a decision to make jokes and take the piss at every possible opportunity, something I'm grateful every day that we're free to do in this country. There's very little can be done about these partnership so reminding those of such persuasions that their footballing success comes with a significant amount of blood on hands is important. Maybe they'll care, maybe they won't as 8-0 wins can't be that unpleasant to watch.

Hibs would become a very minor passing interest of mine if they were to end up in such ownership, there's certainly no way I'd put any money towards their success.

Agree with pretty much all of that. I just don't think fans are as powerless as some claim to put their foot down. As you say tho it's easier to let things (sports)wash over you when you've got a winning team on the park.

[Donegal Hibby]

Your Probably right. Scott brown was seemingly in Inverness at the weekend as well

Read Scott brown was a candidate right enough along with the Morton manager too .If I was a Inverness fan I'd rather somebody like McAllister, Davidson or even Neilson for that matter rather than Duncan Ferguson's whose a lose cannon .

Watching Hearts it is hard to see what formation or tactics they are following. You would think their Manager didn’t know what he was doing. Although Michael Stewart must know what their identity is as he hasn’t said anything to the contrary.

Unfortunately, supporting hibs for 30 years of my life means that whenever we’re confident of beating them, they usually always find a way to beat us.

It being at Hampden would only amplify that feeling for me

I am aye. I'd rather avoid Hearts at all costs to be honest. I've seen us lose to them enough at Hampden and have to trail all the way back. Don't fancy it again. They just dumped out a Killie team we couldn't beat a week ago. Would much rather play Aberdeen or Ross County IF we get through.
