2023-24 season non-Hibs games thread

[Pretty Boy]

I've gone from ambivalent about this to being full on supporting Coventry. It would just be even more of a sickener if they lost on penalties now. As bad as they are United will be back at Wembley sooner rather than later, who knows in Coventry's case.

[Allant1981]

This is what cup games are all about

[One Day Soon]

Desperate for these Coventry fans to get their day in a final.

[Northernhibee]

Classic cup game this.

[Gatecrasher]

That's a BS decision on the offside.

[Hibby70]

VAR at it's worst - ok maybe technically correct but it just sucks the life out of me. A moment like that taken away due to a cm or two.

[gbhibby]

That's why the offside rule needs to be changed.

[Lago]

VAR takes a lot of excitement out of the game.

[worcesterhibby]

There are not enough frames per second to call that offside. VAR is an utter nonsense.

[Callum_62]

Very tight call the lines looked to be touching

Aah that's a shame.

Man U through, very lucky though and well done to Coventry for making a good game of it, Ten Haag stays in charge at least to the final.

[WeeRussell]

Your hand cannae be offside.

[Off the bar]

Can’t score with the hand. The line has to be drawn from a part of the body you can legally touch the ball with.

[One Day Soon]

**** that. This is the day and match I completely flipped my view on VAR. Coventry should be in that final and decisions like that one are killing football.

[Mantis Toboggan]

Every time I seem to watch them they are garbage to the point of it being embarrassing but then win anyway. Can't see that happening in the final at least.

Cup is about getting through, but that was horrible outcome for Coventry. Lucky with the pen decision near the end, but VAR screwed them (and all the neutrals) in the end. VAR will kill this game we all love.

Just the pressure of the moment, it must be a really heavy burden taking a penalty in the shoot out in such a big game

Bet these guys are scudding the penalties in when practising at training

Only person on the Man U side who went up in my estimation there was Harry Maguire. Looked pretty decent to me.

[JimBHibees]

Aah that's a shame.

Yes Hojland scores one player comes to congratulate him

You have to admire a plucky underdog that gives everything they’ve got and make a spectacle of it, so I think you have to say well done Man United. What a big day for all of them.

Forest statement”

Forest said: "Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept. We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times. NFFC will now consider its options."

[Caversham Green]

That is everything that is wrong with VAR and the offside rules. One of the iconic moments in cup football negated because a line on a video screen decided that a tiny part of the forward was closer to the goal than a tiny part of the defender. It's not what the offside rules were introduced for.

Goals are the single most important part of football and VAR actively looks for ways to disallow them. It's just wrong.

[gbhibby]

When they introduced VAR, the offside rule should have been changed to the so called Wenger offside proposal, This is killing the game the game is about goals not looking at a toe being offside. Olden days if you were deemed to be in line you were onside.

100%. The player has gained no material advantage from the position he is in. If he is a centimetre further back he stills gets to the ball first.

The art of playing on the shoulder of the last man has been taken out of the game because you are now being judged on literally millimetres and it's really just luck if you are that precise.

They really need to sort out the offside rule because it was surely never meant to be implemented like this.

Couldn’t believe these 2 facts from BBC website!!

A first Old Firm Scottish Cup final since 2002.

A first Old Firm match on council telly since 2011.

Its quite surprising how relatively few OF SFA cup finals there has been considering their grip on Scottish football and how many times each club has won it.

May will only be the 15th OF cup final and as you point out only the second this century (which is virtually a quarter of the way through)

It must be impossible to 'play on the shoulder' now. When literally your stride pattern and a part of your body you can score with is the difference between being on and off. As you say it comes down to luck.

I thought watching it live at the time it might be off - and I thought at the time certain Coventry celebrations were tempered just incase. Just sad.

Said it many times on other threads, the game has forgotten the essence of what should be deemed a foul - for cheating to gain a deliberate advantage.

The sad thing is, the folk that make the rules will just argue that VAR has made the correct call, which technically it has.

Football fans rarely agree on anything but you’ll struggle to find anyone that actually likes VAR.

Where is the cut off then, is 1ft an advantage? We will then have the same issue with a line being drawn 1mm over. For me it’s either it’s used as is or binned.

VAR is simply an added layer of protection brought about for the bigger teams, and a tool used to bail them out as and when required.

There's no way that a decision that tight can be conclusive.

How can they be certain they've frozen play at the precise moment the through ball was played?

For decisions that miniscule, there should be a threshold applied. Fall within that threshold, the decision should be with the on-field officials.

It should be used for clear and obvious errors and nothing else, and if I had my way, it would be consigned to the dustbin of history.

Don't know what the frame rate that is used in VAR. I have seen some of lines drawn when the ball is away from the players foot so it not accurate. I would rather see it used to show a players body parts are not fully in front of the last defender

Talking of cheating to gain a deliberate advantage, i see chelsea managed to avoid any financial wrongdoing sanction this season by selling two hotels for £76 million, to a ‘sister company’. Meanwhile they have 4000 loan players all over europe getting paid from somewhere. Football is ****ed.

I think that's Inters 20th title meaning they get a 2nd star above their crest.
Quite a way to do it, 'away' from home against your city rivals. About 20 years ago AC Milan were miles ahead of Inter in the number of Serie A titles they had and all the chat was how they would soon have 2 stars and how it would be years and years before Inter managed a second... AC are still waiting for their 2nd star!

Yeah inter had a 17 year title drought which ended somewhat fortuitously in 2006 when they were handed the title after the winners juventus were forcibly relegated after one of their many scandals. Inter have hardly looked back since (at least domestically)

Any team that protects a sex offender and fabricates injuries to prevent him from travelling with the squad for games in Spain doesn’t deserve trophies to be honest. But I’m sure you’ll have the last word again and bore me into submission with yet more drivel.

Oh right, okay.

Partey, if guilty, should spend his life in jail. Arsenal haven't exactly managed it well but he's been convicted of nothing. I personally wouldn't have played him.

Why would they fabricate an injury? He's already made of wheatabix and they could just, I dunno, not pick him? More likely he was just injured mate.

Dunno why you feel the need for a personal shot at me. Very weird stuff. Have I upset you?

[Trinity Hibee]

That was superb from Arsenal. Really hope they win the league as they are great to watch.

[MWHIBBIES]

Edit - pointless arguing with him, I need to sleep tonight.

Aww, don't delete it and run off :faf:

[ekhibee]

Was going to post something very similar. They actually played pretty well at points in the first half but they just look so incredibly soft.

Yep, really poor at the back. Chelsea really missed Palmer today, I'm not saying they would've won but it would've been a closer probably better game to watch. Arsenal are a really good side though, and even though people are right to say they haven't bottled it, they still throw in the occasional wobbly, for example when they were beaten deservedly by Villa who themselves are a bit in and out but still having a cracking season. Liverpool have looked pretty ordinary the last few games, you'd have to say right now it's hard to see past Man City, they really are consistent and have done it all before.

It's a shame they couldn't find a way to beat villa. I know villa were excellent and got their tactics spot on but that was a damn shame and will probably cost arsenal

1-0 Everton. They’ve been the better team.

Just noticed that ex jambo Andy Irving scored a hat trick for his team in Austria today, then read into him a bit more and noticed that West Ham have bought him? Must have missed that one.

[Donegal Hibby]

Crystal palace 0- 0 Newcastle United . Half- Time . Palace been the better team so far .

[hibsbollah]

1-0 Everton. They’ve been the better team.

I think the time has come for Liverpool to give up on Darwin Nunez. The best you can say about him is he very occasionally looks like a competent forward if you want someone to assist others, but he’s just one of the most wasteful strikers ive ever seen in great positions. Terrible tonight.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Did someone attach a foot pump to Wayne Rooney’s ersehole and go to town on it? He’s absolutely colossal.

Bournemouth can't hold on to a lead Wolves 1 Bournemouth 1

VAR may save them here

it does still 0-1 a tad fortunate


after a quick google if Bournemouth managed to hold on to leads like villa do they would be two points off a CL place :shocked:


oh oh Bournemouth red card for a tackle on matt doherty

Man United are not a serious club.

Funny how Liverpools fortunes changed after Klopp said he was leaving.

Funny how Liverpools fortunes changed after Klopp said he was leaving.

Same happened at Man Utd when Ferguson said he was retiring IIRC, then he changed his mind didn’t he?

[Donegal Hibby]

Crystal palace 2-0 Newcastle United . Palace well worthy of 2-0 unfortunately.

[J-C]

You've got to think a good few players signed probably because he's the manager, similar to Pep at City.

[MWHIBBIES]

Funny how Liverpools fortunes changed after Klopp said he was leaving.

He announced he was leaving in January. They've had 2 weeks of bad form in April. I don't think it's related.

It's quite clearly more to do with Salah, Konate, Matip, Allison, Trent, Robertson, Thiago, and Jota missing huge chunks of the season and that catching up with them. He's done a brilliant job to keep them anywhere near it.

[Mcbizz1998]

Great scenes at Goodison. Pleased for the fans.

[Pagan Hibernia]

And then there were two.

Come on Arsenal!

[weecounty hibby]

Well, that has fair lifted my football spirits!! Great to see Everton win and how fantastic is it to see an old fashioned proper football stadium rocking like that.

[MWHIBBIES]

It's not too early to have an opinion. Before a ball is kicked favourites to win the league are touted.

Update - it was too early.

Delighted for them. Only their second derby win in the last 30, and their first at home since 2010 (And we thought our derby record was crap :greengrin).

The fact its come in klopps last derby to probably finish liverpools title hopes is the stuff of dreams for everton fans after yet another wretched season.

Really good performance from City on what is normally a tough place to go . Hard to see where they are going to drop points from in their remaining fixtures , possibly Spurs ? . Though Arsenal have them next which won't be easy . Getting beat by Villa at home is looking very costly now .

[Hibby70]

Just can't see Arsenal winning more games than City. Tonight had to go against City for Arsenal to have a chance.

[MWHIBBIES]

Tonight was never going against City. Brighton come out and play, 9/10 city will hump any side that does that. A desperate, scrappy, defensive Nottingham forest will be tougher than Brighton for City I think.

I don't think City will slip up though. You just never know I guess.

I didn’t realise that. So why a guard of honour at all? Don’t think embarrassment comes into it - it’s just wrong!

Edit - would be the miracle of all miracles if that goal difference advantage could be turned around though

[Onceinawhile]

Megwa doing pretty well.

Glad to see aiken on the bench too. Seems to have been out for about half the season.

[Sheffhibee]

Megwa hasn't put a foot wrong in this game so far. Very calm and assured performance ⚽

[J-C]

Airdrie playing very well, with Megwa doing well also, United's keeper made a wonderful save to keep it at 0-0.

Isn't he scottish?

Went to watch Sheff Wed beat West Brom 3-0 today. Wednesday played well, over 33,000 attendance, great atmosphere. Hillsborough is a bit creaky round the edges but a great old school venue (if that floats your boat). Put themselves in a great shout of staying up despite being in the bottom 3 virtually all season.
