2023-24 season non-Hibs games thread

[Irish_Steve]

Plenty time yet 😬

Sparta score, the comeback's on..........

[PatHead]

They wouldn't have liked Dublin. Probably lost on purpose.

[Jones28]

So they can openly reference a sectarian song in a TIFO?

Interesting. And there was me thinking we were too harsh…

[B.H.F.C]

If that Rangers game is in the league they freeze and draw the lines so the attackers knee is a fraction over the halfway line.

There were multiple times they went down expecting a free kick, didn’t get it, and you could hear the complete disbelief of the crowd. They’re so used to getting anything that when they don’t, they don’t know what to do. Never mind, normal service will be resumed on Sunday lads.

[Bridge hibs]

I don’t understand the display. What does it mean? A vague implication of smashing Dublin up? 🤷*♂️

I would be breathalysing that bus driver, he is all over the ****ing road, and that drum is not wearing a seatbelt

Aye they done that falling over expecting free kicks against us, seems to be something Clements has brought in, remember his team in France did that alot

[CentreLine]

From their “Follow Follow” song: “If they go to Dublin, we will follow on…”.

A someone help me here. I’m just not getting this at all. If they are not too offensive, what are the relevant words that make this relevant to anything SEVCO?

[Irish_Steve]

Sparta dead for the second time in this tie.......

6-1Liverpool, Sparta undead now

Qarabag played the last half hour down to 10 men. Was 1-0 at the time of the sending off and they then extended their lead to 2-0, just couldnt hang on tho.

The proper words to Follow Follow are harmless, but in the voices of the excrement who sing the "Dundee-Hamilton " version , it's brain dead sectarianism, and reflective of the supporters.

[JimBHibees]

It must be like playing a different sport for The Rangers when they don't get every decision. Ref has not missed much

Ain't that the truth

Was thinking that - they play the tune over the sound system at Ibrox. As much as I wouldn’t put anything past that club…

[The Spaceman]

Delighted for Villa. Really enjoyed our away leg down there - a proper football club and a cracking stadium.

Just shows you our results were far from the disgrace the BBC painted them out to be. We were just unfortunately first in a long line of teams (now including Ajax) who have been scudded by them this season. They are class and led my none other than our SJM.

Obviously Villa were the favourites to win the whole thing, but our tie against them was over by half time in the first leg due to naive tactics.

[Since90+2]

Obviously Villa were the favourites to win the whole thing, but our tie against them was over by half time in the first leg due to naive tactics.

Agreed. Looking at it subjectively they played Ajax at full pelt knowing the tie was very much in play and they had to play well to progress after drawing in Amsterdam.

Their home game against us they were basically in 2nd gear as the tie was completely finished in the first 45 minutes at ER.

[He's here!]

Very pleasing, normally wouldnt bother my arse to much about the stickies but after their song book shenanigence at the weekend, GIRUY.

In fact, this will make them doubly determined to beat the shxte across the road in the cup as they are now out.

Even more pleasing.

Agreed. Couldn't care less about their European games but if getting knocked out sharpens their focus on beating the yams then it's all good.

[He's here!]

Obviously Villa were the favourites to win the whole thing, but our tie against them was over by half time in the first leg due to naive tactics.

They would have hammered us whatever our tactics. Compared to the days when we could hold our own against the top English clubs, Villa now operate on a different planet to us.

[hibsbollah]

Europa league draw

AC Milan v Roma (will be spicy)
Bayer Leverkusen v West Ham

Benfica v Marseille
Liverpool v Atalanta

Liverpool and West Ham kept apart, could still play the final in Dublin

[MWHIBBIES]

Would've been with perfect tactics as well. You're talking about a side full of 50 million pound players, in their best years, with a manager who's won what, 4 Europa leagues?

Was never a contest.

Leverkusen V West Ham the most intriguing tie there for me.

Alonso the current golden boy V Moyes and his bus parking, old school tactics. Should a really interesting, if maybe not scintillating, watch.

Nothing too exciting about the others.

Dundee United have got the 2nd best defensive record in Scotland before tonight.

Dunfermline are toiling with injuries.

What is going on?

[NC1875]

Really hope Raith go on to win the league. Cannot stand Jim Goodwin.

[Ralphy C]

Not for me United to win everytime, even with Goodwin,

[Jones28]

Happy for Mcpake and Dunfermline tonight, former bosses are big Pars fans and they’ve had a **** season, they might even be in with a shout of the play offs.

[Donegal Hibby]

Any sign of Goodwin looking for an escape route over the advertising boards yet ?

[Jones28]

Dunfermline subs have upset their rhythm a bit.

[Jones28]

Sibbald has a great career as a failed rapper ahead of him.

[SHODAN]

I love the Scottish Championship. Best league in the world.

[Hiber-nation]

Well done the Pars. Jakubiak up front was brilliant, think I said on here he was the worst striker I'd ever seen when he played for Dundee. Hmmm...

Hope Raith can get the 3 points at Queen's Park tomorrow, will be tough though.

[He's here!]

I really want a Aberdeen-United play off final.

I'd like to see them both in the Championship next season. I didn't mind either club when they were sticking it to the Old Firm in the 80s but as time has gone on I've found them both exceptionally irritating.

Always had a bit of a soft spot for the Pars too so delighted to see them cuff United.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Yeah that would be excellent. Raith and Dunfermline going up would be perfect although too much to ask for.

[truehibernian]

I’d be keeping tabs on Richie-Hosler - watched him closely tonight and even despite his excellent goals what an accomplished footballer he looks. Him and Moriah Welsh in central midfield would be a cracking energetic and dynamic combination.

[Glory Lurker]

On one hand, I'd like Raith and United to replace Livi and Ross as it would mean two much larger travelling supports.

On the other hand, I'd really like Aberdeen to go down although that would take away a big travelling support.

On another hand, Raith's pitch is a no-no for me so I wouldn't miss that.

On another hand, I enjoy a trip up to Dingwall.

So, when I balance it all out, I hope Hearts go down.

But then there's that travelling support thing.

No easy, this.

I think that is the 4th game Dundee have had postponed this season. They need to be told to get that sorted, playing surface not fit for purpose for the Premiership.

There was close to a full card of Lowland League and EoS fixtures yesterday FFS.

OG of the season there!

[Pretty Boy]

Apart from Sterling I hardly know any players on the park. The Chelsea keeper who I thought was their 1st choice but apparently isn't and that's about it. There is probably a couple of others but the guy captaining Chelsea apparently has about 15 England caps and I wouldn't know him if he knocked on my front door.

I'm so out the loop with English football. This has been a pretty decent game, as was Wolves v Coventry yesterday; it's a pity the FA Cup has become so devalued as you can see what it means to teams like the latter whilst a lot of EPL teams seem to value finishing 14th in the league over a trophy, and sadly understandably so.

And the captain you're talking about is likely to be sold in the summer to stay within these loss limits in the premiership.

It's a strange one, nobody would deny that the FA Cup is hugely devalued these days... you'd think this might lead to more smaller teams winning it while the bigger ones prioritise other things. Yet that hasn't happened. The winners of the FA Cup in recent years seems to be ever more concentrated among the big clubs. I suppose that also illustrates the gulf now.

[Pretty Boy]

I think Leicester would prefer a penalty here.

If it's outside the box it's only a free kick but that will be upgraded to a red. A scored penalty but only a yellow is probably a better outcome.

[J-C]

Chelsea fans booing Sterling for taking that freekick instead of Cole Palmer, he blasted it into row Z as well.

Good game so far. The defending from MU in that 5 min period was indeed shambolic. Game management was poor in run up to HT

[JimBHibees]

Quite the turnaround. First goal slightly fortunate deflection. McTominay should have had United two up before Liverpool scored.

[Donegal Hibby]

Enjoyable game so far . Wonder will we see somebody going down to 10 men with both Fernandes and Mac allister booked ? .

[J-C]

Summed up in the studio, Man U get players back to defend but are too passive and seldom attack the player on the ball, hence so much time to score, they really miss Martinez at the back, also Shaw.

[Hibbyradge]

That's the same foul as Newell's against Celtic for their second penalty.

Sick of seeing Garnacho dropping like a stone whenever someone comes near him, learning that from Fernandes I think. All Man U now, how a goal can change mentality eh.

Antony is such a weird player.

About 95% of the time he looks like he has won a competition to be on the park and then he has these wee flashes of technical ability that make you think he might actually be a good player who is just toiling a bit.

[Pretty Boy]

Lazy midfield play the reason for that goal. No desire to get out and close down the ball and space quickly.

[hibsbollah]

Another offside sitter from Marcus. It doesn’t make the misses any less bad in a way, he wasn’t to know.

Elliots deflection is the kind of derby goal hearts would score against us.

Poor defending by Man Utd that Liverpool goal.

Yes they have to get out to Elliott quicker for sure.

[hibsbollah]

Redemption for Rashford. What a game.

[Pretty Boy]

What are Liverpool doing there? Why is the keeper rolling it out into a congested area quickly when you are 3-2 up with 5 to play? Why are you then trying a hospital ball inside rather than back to the CB and knock it long to safety.

Hideous game management from players who should know better.

Honestly, what a ****ing game!!

Goal scorer been sent off lol.

[Lancs Harp]

What a fantastic game. Would have prefered Liverpool to win to be honest but what a game.

[Pretty Boy]

Klopp looks murderous. No wonder, his team need to manage that so much better from 3-2 up.

[J-C]

Well **** me what a game this has turned out to be.

Liverpool don’t like it up them, they don’t like it up em :giruy2:

[He's here!]

Sounds like a cracking game.

You could never tire of seeing Liverpool get beat.

[Stevie Reid]

Absolutely superb game of football.

[MWHIBBIES]

Good thing if united have a strong finish this season. They'll persist with poor squad and manager.

Terrific game. Top level of football (which many insist is crap now)

[JimBHibees]

Klopp looks murderous. No wonder, his team need to manage that so much better from 3-2 up.

Also the second half when they butchered so many opportunities. Had a five on two at one point and never got a shot away. Credit United for staying in it.

I was a regular at Goodison when I lived in that part of the world. Can't stand Liverpool.

Fair enough

[Greensunshine]

I’m a Liverpool fan and I have to say we had this game in the bag. We then go and find a way to lose. Very frustrating!

On the other hand, fair play to United. They were never out of the game and probably got what they deserved in the end.

Can’t believe the winning goal scorer gets sent off for removing his top!

What a **** rule that is. What fud dreamed that one up! Young guy will probably never score a more important goal.

Fitba can be cruel at times!

Taking your top off and jumping into the crowd is a certain bookable offence (unless you’re an Ugly Sister). Managers should get these rules straight with their players.

[Greensunshine]

We don’t actually mind Everton, probably because they’re no threat to us. I totally get why Evertonians would hate Liverpool though! 😜 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆

It’s a ***** rule! You lose your **** when you score a goal, especially a really important goal.

Strongly disagree with you on this one! This is what football is, it’s what we did when we were kids. It’s why I got attracted to the game as a bairn.

People need to lighten up and realise all these rules are killing the game!

So what ? The games nowhere near as exciting as it was back in the day when we had fully packed terraces with standing supporters packed in like sardines!

When a goal was scored, there was no waiting around to check for VAR, the ball hit the net and what you got was an unbelievable display of limbs!

The game has changed but not for the better in my opinion.

Everyone thinks football was best when they were young. They cant all be right.

You seem to be forgetting leg breaking tackles being the norm, passbacks, **** pitches. The quality of the actual football was certainly poorer. Football grounds are plenty packed these days, plenty of limbs still exist. A total myth that folk don't celebrate because of VAR. Half an hour ago I watched old trafford go absolutely nuts.

I’m not saying it’s a good rule but it’s a rule and has consequences that can affect the future fate of a club. Imagine your star striker being suspended in the cup final because he stupidly took his top off or dived into the crowd. Remove the rule and it’s carte blanche to faff around willy nilly if you score a goal. It’s a case of head over heart whether you like it or not.

[ShadesLongThrow]

Klopp’s decision to take off both Salah and Robertson after 80 mins cost them the game. They just weren’t the same after that and lost any threat on both wings as a result.

It was a rule brought in when players had things written on tops underneath, political slogans etc, it was to stop that, I agree a silly rule.

It’s not silly if it stops some kid at the front getting trampled on if there’s a surge forward.

I thought the same thing. Liverpool were cruising at that moment. Ach well, you win some, you lose some!

[Donegal Hibby]

Wither it's a silly rule or not is open for debate , personally I don't mind it and think there is worse rules than that in football at the moment. What I do think is silly is a player who's already on a yellow taking off his shirt when he knows the outcome of it .

[WeeRussell]

How is there more likely to be a surge forward because his top is off?

VAR is killing the game. Rule changes are killing the game. You can’t tackle in the modern game.
It’s a different game to what it was say just ten years ago and not for the better.
Players with wee pink or yellow boots on that couldn’t trap a bag of cement.
Score a goal and then have to wait five minutes to find out if it really is a goal.
It’s absurd and it’s ruining the game I once loved.

[gbhibby]

Was the Man Utd goalscorer not the guy who The Rangers had on loan

Yes he was also at Sunderland last season on loan. He's going to be a player if he gets the chance at Utd.

You were doing okay until the boots part. Pure gammon stuff that.

You can tackle just fine. What are you expecting? 2 footers being allowed?

Can you find me a goal where they actually waited 5 minutes?

I do agree when it gets to that stage it's ridiculous. But it's very rare.

Because fans want to join in the celebration lIt happened today.

You’re missing the whole point. A goal celebration is all about spontaneous celebrations, it’s what makes the game so great.
That’s no longer the case when we have to wait on a decision for almost every goal.
A crowd surge can happen whether a player takes his top off or not. Although I don’t really see how it can be all that dangerous considering there’s seats to stop that from happening!

I really can’t agree with any of your points tbh. It sounds like you’re being deliberately argumentative. There’s no doubt that football is in a worse state now regards rule changes than it once was.

The only thing that could be argued is that in theory, VAR sounds great. But The way it’s being implemented is atrocious and that is causing delays, inconsistencies, goals being chopped off/red cards being given when no one else sees anything wrong with the original call. Until that is ironed out, if it ever is, then it’s not working.

You only need to look at the decisions and time it’s taking to reach the decisions as evidence.

[blackpoolhibs]

I agree, never really celebrate a goal now like i used to do. :agree:

[VoltaireHibs]

I actually really like VAR when it's ruining other teams games, it's quite funny, adds to the theatre, but not so much when we're getting robbed. Then it's not funny at all. Var is a bit like Graeme Shinnie, fine if it's working for you, can't stand it when it's against you.

Next season there has to be more consistency, especially around hand ball. It's been the one thing that's caused way too many problems this year.

Sounds just like the on the field refereeing over the last 10 years. Surely nobody can be surprised by that.

I was looking at a few clubs forums and see Nottingham forest have been deducted 4 points for breaching FFP , that now puts them in the relegation places .Luton might escape the drop yet .

[overdrive]

I see Klopp took the huff with a reporter after the match and basically called the reporter fat and stormed off

[Steve20]

VAR is ruining the game. To say otherwise you either enjoy waiting about for a goal to be decided by someone watching elsewhere, taking away the 'in the moment' feeling of celebrating a goal. Or you know it's been bad for the game and just want to go against popular opinion for the sake of it.

If there was any sense in Football, they'd realise it's made the game so much worse and get rid.

Or you were adamant it was going to be so good for the game/made such a fuss about football NEEDING it, that you're not going to budge now that it's been proved to be absolutely *****.

It's here to stay unfortunately - too big an investment and fuss made for them to go back now. Stuck with it and all the pish that goes with it.

Ever meet anyone who didn't think VAR was a good idea for football but now thinks it's great..?

Either the EPL lawyers are making a watertight case, or they're bottling it. I know where my money is. You're talking titles stripped from them, huge points deduction and potential demotion. Yeah right.

The speed at which Nottingham Forest have been done is remarkable. Mind you, they don't have a country behind them fighting their case.

[MWHIBBIES]

Man City are fighting the case with the best lawyers they can buy.

Other clubs are co-operating so those cases are being handled quicker.

Nothing crazy about it. The premier league have no choice but to punish City big time. It will happen.

Completely disagree, the EPL are having to cross every T and dot every I because they will be up against some of best lawyers in the world.
