Obvious penalty for St Mirren shove in the back but VAR just want to make sure with a 5 minute enquiry

2-1 Saints

[marinello59]

Interesting stat there. Gogic is the only outfield player to have played every minute in the league this season. The type of player we quickly dismiss as not good enough for us who goes on to join a so called lesser team that then outperforms us.

[He's here!]

Sooner he's gone the better, hearts have nothing without him

25 points more than us as things stand. That, more than anything, highlights how pathetic our season has been.

[Maguire]

25 points more than us as things stand. That, more than anything, highlights how pathetic our season has been.

Agree we've been terrible, but without Shankland it'd be nowhere near that amount. They'd be relying on the likes of Alan Forest and the other diving winger who hasn't exactly done much. If Shankland goes and we get our act together i wouldn't bet against us finishing above them next season.

[Off the bar]

25 points more than us as things stand. That, more than anything, highlights how pathetic our season has been.

The big difference is defence, I just looked at the table expecting them to have scored a good few more than us. But as it stands we’ve both scored 51 goals. The difference is we’ve shipped 58 and they’ve only let in 39.

That’s incredible we’ve scored the same amount given they have shankland. That difference in goals conceded is terrible.

Yep, he's had a sensational season and will be a big miss (all but certain he'll leave I reckon) but they seem to have got their act together in general and already have some decent signings made for next season. Where they've really excelled since around December time is grinding out the 3 points in so many of those games against the teams below them that we so often end up drawing or losing. Two wins over Celtic is quite impressive too.

Hate to say it but I think they'll be best of the rest again next season.

The table is a bit off due to bottom 6 / top 6 - harder games in top 6. So not a completely simple comparison.

Hearts have 2 solid keeeprs.

Plus better defenders and midfielders who protect the back line.

Shankland - hopefully he does leave but just not sure Celtic or Rangers will sign him - so could easily sign a new deal with more money and stay or just run down his contract and leave for free next summer.

But they have had a more consistent team than Hibs this season.

Hibs need to get their act together - seriously under achieving and the lack of consistency in the league needs addressed.

We need to have a few years where we are challenging to 3rd every year.

[BILLYHIBS]

That’s incredible we’ve scored the same amount given they have shankland. That difference in goals conceded is terrible.
We also had 8 x 2-2 draws under Monty

Fine margins

LJ used to call it game intelligence

[SHODAN]

Surely this is Shankland's last game for them. Please.

[Trinity Hibee]

Hearts have matched our points total under Lennon. I wouldn’t say hearts have been particularly impressive so just shows what being organised and having a solid team with 2 or 3 very good players in certain positions can do

[Paul1642]

Surely this is Shankland's last game for them. Please.

I hope so and reckon it is, but we are kidding ourselves if we think that Shankand leaving is all we need to level the playing field. If we were up in 4th then I would accept that he was the difference but there’s a lot more than a top striker separating the two teams right now.

We should have the budget to sort that out this summer if we recruit well and get the manager right. Big if though.

Yeah i agree with this to be fair , If Rangers were still in the hunt for the title then they are a million percent getting a penalty for that grab in the box

[Donegal Hibby]

Probably not a popular opinion though I was hoping at the time we would have kept Gogic , he was a handy player to have in he was versatile and added a bit of steel to the team .

that's looking far more likely than a Bolton win at the moment

[Trinity Hibee]

Bayer Leverkusen became the first Bundesliga team to finish a league season unbeaten as their dream of an 'invincible treble' remained alive.

Xabi Alonso's side had already secured their first league title but made more history as Saturday's 2-1 win at home against Augsburg ensured they finished the domestic campaign undefeated.
Leverkusen season-long unbeaten run is now at 51 games in all competitions – already breaking a 59-year-old Uefa record – and two more wins will secure a remarkable treble.

They face Atalanta in the Europa League final in Dublin on Wednesday, followed by the German Cup final against second-tier Kaiserslautern three days later.

It'll 100% be sold out? Can't be bothered with city now but I remember they used to get big crowds in league 1. The amount of tourists in the epl stands I'm sure they would have sold out without Mancunians if needed, half and half scarves on

Arsenal got more points than city in 2024. It was poor results Vs mid table sides like Fulham, West ham and Newcastle in the first half. Can't drop those points anymore. Need to be near perfect.

This feels like an response based on semantics, and I mean no judgement in my initial post - 'soft spot', 'affiliation'? I'm not suggesting you're an Arsenal fan over and above being a Hibs fan, but so many of your posts on here suggest you lean that way. There's nothing wrong with that (I've developed a 'liking' for Leeds iin the past decade due to an annual trip to that city for a music festival - doesn't mean I'd be buying tickets to Elland Road or wearing their kit out and about). I just read many of your posts as leaning toward a liking for Arsenal, again, with no judgement.

I agree you can't necessarily 'support' two teams for what it's worth - but again, no judgement if you have a preference toward any particular club in any other country (I have bizarre long-standing affinities toward Marseille and Atalanta too...).

I think you can support two different teams and I know a few Hibs fans who do. A couple are English and moved to Edinburgh with work. One a Middlesbrough fan and one a QPR fan. I took them both to ER and they've been supporting Hibs for nearly 20 years but still watch their home teams when they return south. Another is an Edinburgh lad who has travelled to watch Man U a few times a season for as long as I can remember.

Personally I had a season ticket at Goodison many years ago when I was based down there.

Yeah, I guess that Macar guy does it, and Scouse on here too. Very good point.

With no real affiliation or anything though, I don't think so. I certainly would never claim to support a team without ever having gone to see them regularly.

As Sylar said, its just semantics, Id describe you as an Arsenal supporter because you post about them so much, clearly have good knowledge and seem to get quite involved in the to-and-fro with other posters about their english teams. Nothing wrong with that even if you dont want to describe yourself as such :greengrin
Id describe myself as a Hibs and Marseille supporter, )iknow their players, history, follow their results and go to the vel from time to time when im down there. The sauzee connection and watching them on tv in the 90s started it for me, and when i started holidaying down near there i went full in. i dont think there’s anything inconsistent or lessens my love of Hibs for having a very glamorous bit on the side too.

Ah, didn’t realise Atalanta getting top 4 would change things.

They will be in champions league after this, hopefully they don't down tools and just celebrate or the horrible Madrid just do as expected

[Lancs Harp]

Im confused isnt this the Liverpool Rangers game?

[EGL2000]

The press from Atalanta has been so impressive, great tactical display, such a cohesive team. Made Leverkusen look so ordinary.

TNT bt sport had a really good documentary about south London kids who had made it from rough backgrounds and he was one. What a performance that was. Sensational think he plays for Nigeria

Yes he plays for Nigeria hes played over 20 times for them now. He's a Wandsworh, London lad. He did play for England at every level up to under 21 then took his chances with Nigeria. He represented England in the under 20 World Cup. He played for Charlton Everton and Fulham in England
Had a bit of a stormer tonight!!!

[B.H.F.C]

100% unfortunately 😕 or Atalanta in their last 2 league games

Having a look at the table Atalanta 2 points behind Juventus and Bologna but they have 2 games to play against their 1.

Bologna play on Friday night so hopefully they lose, Atalanta win on Sunday and this nonsense is all done and dusted!

Always a talented player sounds like a great move to go to Atalanta will be an absolute hero after last night

[Forza Fred]

Maybe Eddie Howe underestimated the A League a wee bit too.

After drawing 1-1 with Spurs at the MCG the other night, he decided to give his Newcastle United youngsters a run against the cobbled together A League All Stars.

The result A League Allstars 8 v Newcastle 0

I know they were kids etc, etc….but the punters were expecting a bit better…..as I’m sure was Eddie Howe

All seems a bit pointless really. I hope it wasn’t advertised as a glamour friendly, and people spent decent money on tickets.

It’s always the Scottish Cup final for me. Given the way they have devalued the competition down south ours is the premier competition now. I love it. Just a pity those two are in it.

Agree with you.

I fully get there is more of a footballing appeal in watching the English Cup Final. Even if City look a shoe in, come 3:00 it's got to be the Scottish Cup final for me.

I despise both of them, but there is a hint of sado masochism and the hypnotic pull of an OF Scottish Cup Final. As you said, blood and guts, then all the rest.

Just hope the BBC have the pitch microphones on low so we are spared most of the usual bile.

[JimBHibees]

Definitely watching the Scottish final

I've no more interest in English fitba than I have in Botswanan fitba. I've no more interest in the OF than I have in English fitba. Just like Eurovision, I'll register the outcome of both briefly the next day then forget all about it.

This is not the thread for you then my friend 😉

For what it's worth, I'm actually the same. I'll take a passing interest in the Scottish Cup Final as I'm in the West Coast so need to know which part of Glasgow is getting destroyed later.

It was advertised as A League All Stars v Newcastle United, part of a double header with the later game being Arsenal Women v A League Women All Stars.

I think everybody expected Newcastle would field a few from the youth ranks, but they ended up with 10 or 11.

I feel sorry for the Aussie based Newcastle supporters who flew to Melbourne and paid for hotels to stay over for a couple of days after they played Spurs.

Don’t think anyone was expecting an 8-0 result, and it suggests not many of the Newcastle 21 year olds are anywhere near the standard required to take the next step to the EPL.

I certainly would be peed off if Hibs toured Oz and lost 0-8.

[scm70nyd1973]

I'm going for ... 3-0 man city and 3-1 Celtic today .

[Pretty Boy]

The build up to the Scottish Cup Final is going to be a slog. Charlie Mulgrew must have the most horrific and forced patter going, Steve Davis looks raging and Maloney is still a rabbit in the headlights.

Should be the flagship of the football season and a chance to showcase the game. Instead the first 15 minutes is forced 'wur the funniest peepul in the world so we ir by the way' weegie patter.

Think it's the FA Cup final for me.

[oconnors_strip]

Heading to a pub which is showing both finals, don’t care who wins.

[Aldo]

I don’t like either team however I want to see Sevco absolutely torn a new one this afternoon.

[easty]

Wild tackles, red cards and fans crying in the stands today please. Don’t care who wins.

[Tambo]

Some Kenny miller tears again would be nice, assuming he's involved today with being the co-commentator?

Not wanting to watch any of the build up tbh

Amazing how the media bury their heads in the sand when it comes to the OF , the last night the commentator apparently apologised if viewers picked up on the bad language yet you can clearly hear ... Up to your knees in .... Yet the commentators says this is the way they like it in nice and noisy :rolleyes:

Who is up front for Man Utd? Surely not Rashford!?

The gulf in quality between United and City is massive. United are playing like a non league side sent to the Etihad in the 3rd round. Absolutely terrified to engage.

[jakedance]

No love for either team but can’t help but take great satisfaction in seeing huns greet.

[JohnM1875]

Celtic get a pen for that handball if they’re playing any other team.

[Gatecrasher]

Was that a very similar penalty shout to the one Ross County got the other night?

That is a howler from the City keeper. He's been all over the place. Defender has to be better too.

After my earlier comments United have done well here once they settled. Frustrating City.

He done the same thing a few minutes before and Walker was screaming at him to get back. He either commits there or makes the angle for the header back, he done neither.
