2023-24 season non-Hibs games thread

[MWHIBBIES]

Can't see where Pep goes when he leaves City. Won't go to another English club, done the only club in Germany he'd go to, would never manage Real and not sure there's an Italian club with the money he demands.

It's PSG or Saudi IMO. Neither are great options for a man with his ego.
PSG is perfect for him.

[Since90+2]

PSG is perfect for him.

If PSG don't win it this year or next he'll go there IMO. He'll want to be the one that wins that for them.

If they do I think he'll be Saudi bound.

Pep isn't interesting in being the guy who wins it for them. He wants money and a DOF who will get what he wants. He'd manage Livi if they had a billionaire owner.

[Chorley Hibee]

Slightly off tangent, but I've just watched the BBC News Channel sports news, and whilst reporting on English football, Women's football, Women's Six Nations and Snooker, there wasn't a single utterance of the Scottish Cup Semi-Final.

Disgraceful from a supposed national broadcaster.

Apparently man city sent back 4k tickets for today's semi final. Pretty awful that. Coventry sold out no problem for tomorrow.

Pep took his first management job at Barcelona who had a disaster season the season before , bombed out one of the greatest players in football history in Ronaldhino, promoted numerous players from La masia and created the greatest club team in history. Maybe he'll get bored one day and head to arsenal and try and help them win some trophies.

Yeah, a real brutal Barcelona side he inherited. Messi, Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta, Eto, Henry, Abidal, Yaya Toure. Pure mince.

He made a brilliant side, and spent a lot of money doing so too.

Then he took a treble winning Bayern side.

Then a bottomless pit of money at City.

PSG is exactly his type of job.


Don't think he'd join Arsenal. They can't buy his brother a football club, and pay him offshore, like City do.

There's any number of Championship sides and some League One clubs who would sell half of Wembley for an FA Cup semi final. Man City are at Wembley for semi finals just about every season, the novelty will have worn off a bit and they don't have the depth of support others do.

Whatever anyone thinks of Pepe Guardiola you can't argue with his record even if he has been at big clubs with big budgets though I would think that brings on a different kind pressure some other managers couldn't cope with possibly.

I think if he had been at Chelsea when Todd Boehly took over and spent as much as they did he would probably have them winning or at least very close to winning the premier League.

Guys a top manager .

Well, the idea he wouldn't take PSG job if he wasn't going to be ''the guy'' who won it for them is totally false IMO.

He wants money to spend to build his team. He couldn't care about history of the club or anything like that.

Of course he’d not join Arsenal, because nowadays that’s not a step up. It’s the move that’s made when you’re no quite good enough for City (Jesus, Zinchenko).

How much will you hate it if Arteta replaces him at City, after winning basically nowt at Arsenal, and wins the league and Champions League there?

He'd join Arsenal tomorrow if City stopped giving him what he wanted, and Arsenal did. Same with Chelsea, United, Liverpool. He isn't loyal to Man City. He is loyal to himself, which is perfectly fine of course.

Highly unlikely Arteta joins City from Arsenal. Pretty clear how much he likes Arsenal and is appreciated there. I wouldn't hate it. Its English football. I take an interest, but I'm not really emotional about it. Only Hibs for me in that regard.

[Since90+2]

Yes, because they are one of the biggest and most glamorous clubs in the world, that's where the best managers manage.

My point was he's now exhausted most of his options. Can't see him at another English club, won't go to Madrid for obvious reasons and I don't see an Italian side being big enough to get him.

He'll fancy PSG, because yes they have money, but to be the first manager to win the UCL with PSG adds to his legacy as many top managers have so far tried and failed.

Real is probably the only big club off the cards. He'd join anyone else if they get money. If Juventus got a tycoon takeover tomorrow, he'd be quite happy there.

I do think PSG is the obvious one, but Enrique could well win it this season. Should beat Dortmund.

37k Celtic fans there. Kind if undermines the argument these games should be split 50/50 when Aberdeen only sold circa 7k tickets.

To be honest I don't have an issue with smaller allocations. We've taken only smallish supports to a few games at Hampden v the OF and if anything it's created a better atmosphere among those who went.

I wonder how many Celtic would have taken if it was an early kick off in Aberdeen. Was basically a home game for Celtic as usual. If things weren't already stacked massively in their favour.

A fair proportion of the Celtic support probably travelled further than the sheep fans to get to Hampden.

Nah, not for me. All clubs in finals or semis at neutral venues should be offered 50/50. It should just be organised in a way that if they cannae sell them then hand them over to the other side.

I couldnae care less how many fans Celtc have. They get enough advantage with the money in their squad, and the referees noses up their *****, they don’t need/deserve/have any right to an automatic advantage of a bigger ticket allocation.

100% this. Every club should be given the opportunity to sell out half the stadium against the Glasgow clubs.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

100% this. Every club should be given the opportunity to sell out half the stadium against the Glasgow clubs.

Every club should be given the chance for a 50/50 split. Realistically only ourselves, Hearts and Aberdeen are likely to sell them all against the OF, even then it's probably only for a final not a semi final. Pretty sure Hearts are about 2 or 3k short today and have to pay the SFA for any unsold tickets.

Ourselves, Hearts and Aberdeen would only come close to selling out a semi if we were having a good season and thought we had a chance of winning. The sheep clearly expected a doing yesterday and only filled a small corner of the stadium. Hearts have a decent chance of winning today and have sold the majority of their tickets.

I think it makes sense to offer smaller clubs a lesser amount and keep some back if sales are good. No sense in swathes of empty seats tho if there are Rangers and Celtic fans ready to fill them.

I remember the one time we filled about 80% of Hampden v Livi and the atmosphere was dire in what turned put to be a dismal occasion. League Cup semi v huns that same year, the semi v the huns and the final v Celtic in 2021 had much better atmospheres among the Hibs support despite being vastly outnumbered. Outwith the OF, clubs have a lot of fair weather fans. Partly why we can't compete with them.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

That’s a disgrace in itself.

The only reason they got a 50/50 was that they agreed to pay for any unsold tickets. Think back to 2012 semi v Celtc, there were loads of empty seats at their end. If they were to win today they'd sell them all for the final, as we would. We wouldn't get close to selling them all for a semi final either tbf.

Always the same with Rangers and Celtic. It's one of the little biases that goes largely unnoticed but it really matters.

In our cup game there was a point in the 2nd half when we had 6 fouls and 3 bookings, Rangers had 8 fouls and no bookings. That's 3 players on one side who can't fully commit to a 50/50 in case they mistime it, can make one of those annoying but often necessary pulls or pushes to break up an attack etc etc whilst the other team can because they have been treated with more leniency.

Don't even get me started on refs not applying the rules because 'it's a big game and he's used common sense there'.

:agree::agree::agree:

The game at Ibrox recently there was 2 absolute regulation yellow card challenges that they got off with. This allowed one of those players to make another challenge later on and get a yellow at that point - had he been booked correctly first time he would have either been sent off there or couldn't make the challenge to break up our attack. As you say that's the type of decision that doesn't get picked up on after.

In our cup game there was a point in the 2nd half when we had 6 fouls and 3 bookings, Rangers had 8 fouls and no bookings. That's 3 players on one side who can't fully commit to a 50/50 in case they mistime it, can make one of those annoying but often necessary pulls or pushes to break up an attack etc etc whilst the other team can because they have been treated with more leniency.

Don't even get me started on refs not applying the rules because 'it's a big game and he's used common sense there'.

Totally agree as you say another of the little favours given to some. Can remember 2016 semi Rangers v Celtic, Halliday on a yellow from a previous round committed a stick on yellow late in the game which of course would have ruled him out the final. Same player 12 mins before the end of the final was scoring the winner.

He’s the official that didn’t give a penalty at Old Trafford when the Onana made a connection with the wolves player Mike Tyson would have been proud of.

Shocking decisions and well done to Forest for calling it out.

[JimBHibees]

Just also thinking about McLean sending off Youan at Celtic last season for 2 yellows - both challenges not even close to being as bad as the ones we've seen today. Total joke.

That was a similar performance to the recent cup game by McLean so one sided.

Wow, really? that’s surprising.

I’m happy with an old firm final, if Hibs aren’t involved. If we can’t win it then let one of those 2 battle it out for what is a pretty meaningless piece of silverware to their fans. I don’t want Aberdeen, hearts or any of the others winning anything if hibs aren’t!

Id take any transfer fees involving Jorge Mendes with a pinch of salt. Wolves got guys like Neves, Moutinho, Patricio and Neto very cheap. Id imagine that was a case of them scratching his back.

Far be it for me to praise the Huns or the Hertz but the most obvious thing to me about both teams was an intent to play the ball forward as a fundemental approach to their play. The Huns did it quicker than Hertz but there was not the laborious sideway/backwards efforts that I regularly watch at Easter Road.

I think this Man Utd team exemplifies how much culture and leadership matter.

Could you imagine a United team with Ferguson, Keane, Scholes, Neville etc. allowing themselves to be so regularly under pressure or losing games from strong winning positions. Absolutely no one taking responsibility andjust making sure they keep it sensible and get the job done. They are all over the place here.

Can’t disagree

[NAE NOOKIE]

Firstly: Sevco were rank, Hearts have blown the best chance they will ever have to beat one of the uglies at Hampden. The passing, especially in the final 3rd by both teams was at times nothing short of embarrassing.

Secondly: That fall in front of goal by Silva has to be the most hilarious thing I've seen on a fitba pitch in years, I was nearly crying with laughter :faf:

Thirdly. Man United should sack Ten Haag before the extra time starts. For a team like them that is utterly shameful.

It's funny how football changes.

I remember in the 90s being baffled by my dad going on about how great Liverpool were and how big a club they were. To me they never won anything and were perennially 4th or 5th in the league because I'd missed their 70s and 80s heyday Now Man Utd feel that way for my generation,. Rubbish and have been for years but you still think of them as being contenders because of the 90s, 00s and even early 10s.

I daresay much like Liverpool they will be competitive again but right now they are miles away from Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City.
