2023-24 season non-Hibs games thread

[He's here!]

Really hope so!

Sick of losing cup games to Aberdeen.

Our cup record against them's pretty good, certainly in the last 20/25 years.

[He's here!]

Wheres the joy in that when they are winning?

It pays off long term. Picking up the odd win here and there is a price worth paying to keep them in post.

[Jim44]

Tonight’s results making last nights capitulation look even worse.

Aberdeen’s result will most likely see them going into Saturday very confident.

A win last night would have kept us in the mix in the top six and even though we are only a few points out of it, our bottom six position makes us vulnerable and underdogs for the semi final.

[J-C]

ManU 2nd half 79% possession with zero shots on target, Newcastle 1 shot 1 goal, Man U are a shambles right now, Ten Haag cannot survive this surely.

Worst start to a season since 1986/7 when they sacked Atkinson.

[Chorley Hibee]

Yup, I think the authorities have told Scottish football to clamp down on both of the ugly sisters for incidents. While the flares where lit across the whole stand it sound like a certain chant was being sung against the police

It's ironic, because behaviour such as this is the direct result of the authorities, and other clubs, enabling their previous behaviour for years.

It's no wonder they act like this, they know there won't be any consequences.

[B.H.F.C]

Rangers 2-0. Sees us rise a place in the table on goals scored. Started the week in 9th, up to 8th last night and up to 7th now. What’s all the fuss about!

I’m sure they will trot out the old trope “if you have the ball more and are attacking more you will naturally get more penalties”.

True, but not to the Sticky Buns level.

We lost 3-2 in the most recent Hampden semi in 2017, beat them in 2012, lost in 2000 and then as far as I can recall you have to go back to the 1970s to find the last time we met them at Hampden (which won).

[J-C]

Ten Haag wanted him but Ajax didn't want to sell, the board allowed the manager to dictate and it's cost them big time. Neville last night said he's still young and needs more coaching, jeez at £90m I'd want a ready to go 1st teamer, not a prospect, that'd be like us paying £2m for Jair.

Yeah, my memory is we are ok v them at Hampden too!

Overall at Hampden we're not so great (have lost a couple of finals to them) but when it comes to sem-finals and our overall cup record against them it's decent enough, probably 50/50.

Can't say I'm especially confident about Saturday tho.

Leicester only had one shot on target . Excellent performance from Leeds .

[cabbageandribs1875]

only a small dent in the Leicester run they will still run away with it


Ipswich also on a great run in 2nd

It wasn't a clear offside. It was the interpretation of interference from a player in an offside position. Think Fulham got away with one there tbh.

Of course it was clear, McGuire made a clear effort to get to the ball from an offside position, missed it and the player behind him got it over for a tap in.

When did you last see a referee get called over to look at an offside decision?

Is Laidlaw any worse than our options in goals?

The referee was called over. It was a question of whether McGuire directly interfered with the play or not. He never got a touch on the ball as you say, so had no influence on the path the ball took. I think the reason it wasn't given is because it could be argued that McGuire's presence had an influence on the decision making of the defender, who tracked McGuire's run, rather than attempting to block the cross. So in that respect it could be interpreted as interference. But these decisions certainly aren't clear cut and I could see a referee easily giving it the other way on another day.

Today when the Utd goal was chopped off. It was determined that the build up to the goal was offside due to interference from a player that had no direct influence over the goal but may have influenced the decision making of the defender who tracked their run rather than having the opportunity to block the cross.

Every decision on offside is in the build up to a goal, yet apart from today i've never before seen the ref asked to go look at the screen.

[HarpOnHibee]

That's because it wasn't clear. Whether the goal was offside or not was down to the interpretation of interference from a player in an offside position. It was one of those gray area decisions where it's not really possible to tell whether their presence ultimately influenced the outcome of the goal in any meaningful way. I think the referee looked at it, seen the Fulham defender track the run of McGuire and determined that this was enough of an influence, as it takes the defender away from the cross, not giving them the opportunity to block it.

Well i think it was clear Mcguire attempted to make contact with the initial cross from a clear offside position.

Lets see how many more refs are asked to look at these types of situations today or in the future.

Because Maguires interferference was debatable. I think the decision was correct by the rules but in reality the goal likely would have been scored even if Maguire hadn't been there. The game should be geared to helping goals stand, not searching desperately for reasons to chalk them off. It's one of the main things we go to games to see and the doubt should always benefit the attacking team IMHO.

Was it debateable, he made a clear effort to get to the ball to score or try and get it across into the area which going by the current rules makes it clearly offside, not that i agree, but it's offside.

Then to confound things, they have made the decision of offside, but then passed the final decision onto the ref which puts him in a no win situation where if he awards the goal, mayhem would ensue because VAR had gave offside and he's overuled it.

Again it's caused confusion when there was no need, they gave offside and had no reason to get the ref involved, they dont normally invite any ref over for an offside decision ever.

Eddie Howe benefiting from 2 VAR officials who regularly take side jobs officiating in Saudi Arabia.

Seen some highlights and it looks like one of the worst refereeing performances you'll ever see.

Bruno almost took Jorginhos head off with a deliberate elbow at 0-0 and there was about 3 reasons the goal should be disallowed. Ball was out, shove on Gabriel and handball by Joelinton.

And we think our league might be corrupt. The refs literally work for Newcastles owners down south.

Very poor as well, could easily go for that. But he is trying to block the pass, he only really catches the Newcastle player with a trailing leg. What is Bruno trying to block by elbowing someone ages after he's passed it?

Ref was awful, but for VAR to watch those incidents back and giving that goal especially is extremely dodgy.

I think the ball “being out” thing is massively over blown. They can’t prove it was out, it’s not out

But yeah looking at Joelinton’s part in the goal, you’d expect a free kick there.

Just turn the tele off go for a long nice walk & enjoy the rest of your day as what will be will be & we can’t do anything about it :aok:

[scm70nyd1973]

Got a bad feeling Hertz will win today 🤢

I’ve got an even worse horrible feeling that one of these teams is going to win 🤭

[Broken Gnome]

Absolute no brainer today, that doesn't need any sort of safety blanket disclaimer as to how you'd want both teams to lose.

Hearts to get walloped please.

[LewysGot2]

It does impact us this game - if The Thes lose then we play them Dec 17th. If the PBS lose then we won't play that weekend

[Jones28]

Absolute no brainer today, that doesn't need any sort of safety blanket disclaimer as to how you'd want both teams to lose.

Absolutely this. Rangers by 3 will do me fine.

[Since452]

Hearts will beat Aberdeen in the final. For that reason come on Rangers.

Pretty much this TBH - the thes win the cup it’s just a yawn fest,couldn’t care less and seen it all before thing - as for the alternative- no thanks

[LunasBoots]

Surely the team that moaned they didn't have enough tickets has sold out there allocation, my eyes must be deceiving me 🤣

[LewysGot2]

Villa down 2-0 at Forest.

Martinez howler for 2nd

[Aldo]

Very poor as well, could easily go for that. But he is trying to block the pass, he only really catches the Newcastle player with a trailing leg. What is Bruno trying to block by elbowing someone ages after he's passed it?

Ref was awful, but for VAR to watch those incidents back and giving that goal especially is extremely dodgy.

He’s off the ground flying into a challenge and that is dangerous/reckless. Doesn’t matter where or what catches him imho. That should have been a sending off.

The goal should have been disallowed for the push by Joelinton.

Bruno probably should have walked for the elbow and was booked for a push on the arsenal player who feigned being hit in the face when he actually hit on the chest.

All in all Arteta greeting away because things haven’t gone his way. Pressure on him

[Aldo]

Not got a stream to watch it but was told that big teams sell out their allocations unlike the wee team yesterday!

So I take it they’ve come dressed as seats again

100% this. 61 years on the wee cup. I hate to agree.

Guy Fawkes,ya Bass !!:greengrin

Clearly the 7000 on the waiting list were not advised of that plenty tickets were available
The jumbos wont like those gaps and the empty sections shown on tv one bit .
Tells a story right enough.

I have the volume off so not to hear any more of the bigoted singing from the currant buns.
Do they know or have any football related songs?
Bobby Sands got more mention than the sevco team/ players in the 1st few minutes !
So volume off!

But they are the biggest garbage remember

[Lago]

Hertz are garbage
So we're Aberdeen, but they won.

[Trinity Hibee]

Rangers seem to have got the new manager bounce that we haven’t had the past few managers.

[LaMotta]

Got a bad feeling that Hearts will win on penalties. Rangers with loads of possession without really looking like scoring...

[B.H.F.C]

Rangers starting to run out of ideas here. Crosses in to the box but a lot of them pretty aimless.

[Golden Bear]

I've seen this game pattern before somewhere and we all know what happened there.

[JohnM1875]

Michael Stewart is a total fud.

Show me the difference to our claim yesterday eh ?…farce

[Helensburghhibs]

An absolute carbon copy. Only difference is the ref amd colour of the jersey we wear

Rangers player got ball first, keeper then brings him down

Do you think who the ref is would make a difference?

Earlier on today on sportsound. Neil McCann said ours wasn’t a penalty but yeah the keeper wiped out Vente?

And relax. The thought of them getting to the final and winning doesn't bear thinking about.

[Crab apple]

While I'm delighted the ****bos are taking a beating it would be good if the non infirm clubs got together to do something about the reffing and var. Scottish football is governed through a mixture of incompetence, bias, and corruption as it has been for years.

Hearts getting good at giving away a 2nd goal quickly after the 1st.

What a strike that is. Definitely means we’re not playing the weekend before Christmas now (when I happen to be in Edinburgh, annoyingly!)

Who'd have thought Sevco get decisions against other teams.

Never heard of that before.

Only funny as it's against Hearts.

That video of the 4th official sums Scottish football up.

Jambottled against their big brothers once again 😄😄😄

[Biggie]

Hate them with a vengeance but what a strike that was…now their winning, pile it on rangers

[Not In The Know]

So Rangers get a penalty for what we didn’t get yesterday. The fourth official basically celebrated with the rangers manger for their second.

That’s where we are. It’s a disgrace what can we do about this????

[BroxburnHibee]

Have Hearts actually created a chance. They're worse than the Dons

Hearts sit up exactly as Aberdeen did last night. Aberdeen got away with it at the start of the second half with the disallowed goal and very little difference in the penalty rangers got and the one we should have had.
