Some save that by Onana. That was travelling.

Looks like there is a good few empty seats in both ends, do weedjies not fancy travelling to Glasgow these days 🤔🙄

1-0 Sevco


Hart's a huddy.......... var checking ?

Be good to see the stats on how long in total Man Utd have had every single of their players in their own box today.

Whatever works!

Probably going against the grain here, but I thought that goal should have stood.

Apparently it wasn't a penalty as his arm was in a natural position according to VAR . Despite it being well away from his body.In a natural position to advantage Rangers, no pen.

Onana with poor keeping there, lets Man City back into the game, United have sat far too deep in the 2nd half though.

[Pretty Boy]

United need to tell someone just to stay up the park or it's going to keep coming back at them. Get someone and run it to the corner rather than this defence v attack the no outball is creating.

[hibee_girl]

This game is so boring.

Apart from the City goal, he really should have saved that

He spoke very passionately and honestly after the game, spoke about injuries and having to play 8 CH's during the season and never getting a settled side going, if he goes it may be the wrong decision, the squad needs a total clearout of dead wood and overly injured non contributing players, haha a bit like us.

I thought Shearer and Lineker’s interview with him was a little disrespectful. Yes it’s the elephant in the room but he’s just managed his side to an unexpected FA cup final win against City so perhaps let the question go unasked for a few hours.

One of them said someone along the lines of suggesting that one good game isn’t enough. You don’t win a cup on one good game.

[Pretty Boy]

Wonder will Utd's cup success today buy ten Hag more time ? .

Couple of my old uni mates are Mancs and United fans and they want him to stay.

The big thing for them is he has the young lads playing for him and they said the injuries this season have been extraordinary. Add to that the club has been a mess for years and they think he's maybe part of the problem but not the root cause and could well be the solution with a better structure.

From what I can gather they aren't a tiny minority either, they said the away fans in particular (who tend to be the Manchester and surrounding area based diehards) are largely still onside.

[supermcginn]

Eddie Howe won't be losing his job I can tell you that. They had a record breaking minutes lost through injury this season, not playing in the conference league Thursday then EPL Sunday is a blessing.

Beats me why anyone other than a Rangers or Celtic fan would watch that game. The FA Cup final was surely a far more attractive option. Not that I watched either, although pleased to hear United won.

Indeed. Thing about United is they were utterly skewed by the phenomenal haul of trophies won under Fergie. Think they've actually won four or five domestic cups since he left plus a European trophy. Great by most clubs' standards but the way they've fallen so far off the pace when it comes to title challenges makes it seem like relentless failure.

Didn't see that interview, was watching on STV, yes Lineker can be a bit like that, the question was also asked on STV too, said he's the manager and will be until otherwise told.

I'd like to see what he can do without the crocks.

Aw well, Arsenal can console themselves with that whilst Man Utd (for how pish they are) still have trophies to show for their efforts.

I’m sure the Man Utd fans would rather have the cup win against their rivals to look back on for the rest of their days as opposed to being able to talk about that time they progressed to second.

That’s a fair point. But ultimately, trophies are the name of the game and as much as United are an absolute shambles, they’ve still got silverware.

Finishing second means quite a lot actually. More money to further strengthen a squad already miles ahead of United's. Can keep their young, talented players and pay them more. Sets them up for another title challenge while united have another transitional season, possibly under another new manager.

Arsenal had some good cup runs in the 2010s when they were crap in the league too. It's only natural when you cant compete for the title or beat Copenhagen in the champions league.

A good day for United. I'm personally glad to see City lose.

Arsenal are a great side with loads of room for development and winning trophies 👍 maybe lack a wee bit of experience but they’ll come good in next 3 years, play the game how it should be played. Like Spurs though, my worry is they won’t spend as much as City, Liverpool or Utd. But I hope they win a trophy or two as their football deserves it.

If they don't have the bottle get a trophy over the line then the nice football counts for nothing. One of the worst Man U teams has 2 trophies in 2 years to the zero that Arsenal have won. They need to convert that nice football into winning something or they will just be another one of the losers.

You ask any Arsenal fan if they prefer Wenger's last 5 years and the 3 fa cups it had, while being utterly embarrassed in the league and Europe, or the last 2 seasons, and I think they'll answer pretty unanimously. They are a lot more than a nice footballing side.

Hibs are quite different to United or Arsenal. United would swap places on and off the pitch, with Arsenal in a heartbeat.

Arsenal took the title race to the last day. That's more impressive than winning the FA Cup, which in today's English football climate is an afterthought compared to Champions League football.

It was a big win for Ten Haag but it doesn't mean United had a better season than Arsenal - nobody seriously thinks that.

The reason 2016 was such a big deal for us was because our failure to win the Scottish Cup in the previous 113 years defied belief. It was an embarrassing state of affairs and finally getting that monkey off our backs was what it was all about.

Had we won it with similar regularity to Aberdeen and Hearts then most Hibs fans would have seen finishing second in the Peemiership as a something greater to aspire to.

Ridiculous Aberdeen have won it once in my life and I'm in my 30s, they would swap second for Scottish any day. To say Man U would swap their two cups for a second and third is mental, wild

Yes, because Newcastle have won **** all in 70 years. Arsenal have won the FA cup more than anyone.

Ok , so it really doesn't matter to arsenal then , yet Arteta put out a strong team against Liverpool instead of concentrating on the league , was that bad management on his behalf then? .

Who said it doesn't matter?

It's brilliant to win the fa cup. If you are aiming to compete for league and champions league, then it isn't better than finishing 2nd. Arsenal made 90 million from champions league this year. That's money united won't have next season.

As a fan, I'd absolutely rather win a trophy, especially against local rivals, but it really doesn't do anything for united.

Man U are about as poor as I've seen them in along time , arsenal are imo as good as I've seen them in along time. Ones winning trophies and the others not ! .

As much as I dislike Utd they are in every way a bigger club than arsenal who last trophy was , when ?

[hibsbollah]

If they don't have the bottle get a trophy over the line then the nice football counts for nothing. One of the worst Man U teams has 2 trophies in 2 years to the zero that Arsenal have won. They need to convert that nice football into winning something or they will just be another one of the losers.

Arsenal didn’t lose their ‘bottle’, they won their last six league games. The way Artetas men kept winning when the pressure was on was impressive, including beating Chelsea Man U and Spurs in that final run-in. They were just faced with one of the best tactical minds in history and a relentless winning machine. Its credit to what Klopp and Arteta have built that the title was even remotely interesting.

[Trinity Hibee]

How has even this turned into pages of an argument 😂

Arsenal clearly a better side and have had a better season all things considered. FA cup has been diluted down south although still a good achievement for current MU side.

Can imagine Arsenal are more interested in strengthening their current position to have another go at the league next season. They’ve got enough FA cups.

No one is trading United's position for Arsenals. No one. Squad, manager, stadium, training ground, owner. Miles ahead for Arsenal. Trophies won't be far if they continue to progress.

[B.H.F.C]

I think several people who witnessed their team win at Wembley. Against their local rivals, would disagree with that.

Good that Arsenal can add the National Training Ground award to the second place trophy I suppose.

It’s obvious Arsenal have a bette team but it counts for nothing yet. Nobody wants to be the best loser.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Hearts have been better than us for the past eight years overall but I wouldn’t swap that for the Scottish Cup win. Trophies count.

Isn’t it a debate with two strands? A black and white win the FA Cup or finish second. With everyone choosing the cup in a black and white hypothetical.

Versus the context of Man U winning the FA cup and finishing 8th while pushing Hibs hard for who is in a bigger mess and worse run. Against Arsenals upwards trajectory and trying to topple the best team anyone has put together in English football (4 titles in a row, even Fergie’s Man U didn’t do that). There’s no shame in falling just short of Pep’s Man City the last two seasons IMO.

[CapitalGreen]

Sums up the modern day internet EPL fan, more concerned about league position than collecting pots. Everyone starts on 0 points again next season while 2 teams will have trophies in their cabinets. Massive comfort blanket stuff to pretend there is anything better than winning trophies.

I’d have happily swapped places with St Johnstone in the league in 2021 if it meant we won the cup final. Nobody is going to be telling their grandkids about the season we finished 3rd but they’ll be told about the amazing days at Hampden. Young Man Utd fans will be hearing about the day they defeated an all conquering City team against all the odds for many years to come.

[MWHIBBIES]

Sure. No one said they dont. But an fa cup doesn't make finishing 8th or whatever a successful season. Especially not with the 2nd or 3rd highest wage bill.

It counts for quite a bit. 90 million plus in CL money, attracting better players, playing better football. Those things pay off. When you're miles off it in the league, you can focus on domestic cups a bit more. Only natural.

Sums up Hibs.net that folk don't read posts before spewing out this crap.

No one said they wouldn't prefer the trophy in a one off. But only a genuine moron would claim United are doing well and Arsenal are failing, or that they swap squads.

Arsenal have done the finishing 8th and winning the cup thing. It didn't help them. It won't help united.

I just look at it from a fans point of view and I don’t think anyone really cares that they have a nice training ground or whatever.

If Arsenal go on and achieve something over the next couple of years then they can look back on this as being a building block, absolutely. And if I was picking a team from the two, I’d choose their team. But I’d choose winning things over nearly winning things on the basis that you simply don’t know what will happen down the line. Look at Arsenal last year, one or two injuries and it all went to ****.

Help United to achieve what? Winning trophies is literally the aim of the game and they’ve done that in back to back seasons, what are Arsenal looking to achieve if not winning trophies like the 2 Manchester clubs have been doing. The best way to help accumulate trophies is by actually winning them.

Arsenal are quite clearly aiming to win the league and champions league.

United are also aiming to do that.

Arsenal are much closer. Fa cup a great day out for fans. Not much use for winning the league or champions league.

From a fan's point of view if you're chucking money at a club week after week and they're by and large crap (like Hibs) then a cup win at the end of an otherwise dismal season is going to give you some sense that you didn't completely waste your time and money. A season in which Hibs finish second on the other hand would mean you'd been watching a consistently good side.

The Tornadoes only had a League Cup to their name due to being up against the strongest Celtic side ever but they are still revered as a great Hibs team who regularly finished as runners-up in both title races and cup competitions. I'd rather watch a Hibs team that was consistently competitive than one which plucked an occasional cup from year after year of crap league seasons.

Flip that round. Who gives a **** that we finished 6th in the league (behind Killie) when we pumped then in the League Cup final or 3rd in the Championship when we won the Scottish Cup?

Give me a trophy over finishing second in the league any time.

We’re not Arsenal though.

It’s one of football’s great travesties that any sort of argument can be made that 2nd in a league competition can remotely compare to winning a cup competition against the Champions and your city rivals… but that’s where they are with the “best league in the world”. I used to love the FA cup, it’s traditionally one of the world’s best sporting competitions, somewhat ironic that one of the biggest blows in it’s fall from prominence was inflicted by Manchester United.

Fwiw - everyone I know who supports either City or United had scrambled to get a ticket for the match and then if they’d been unsuccessful, made big plans for the day around watching the game. For them it was a big, big deal.

You can understand Londoners being more arsed about money than anything sentimental, even if they won’t need to spend any more of their Champs league money on trophy polish than their medal dodging and much mocked near neighbours.

Thing is, when Arsenal won their more recent FA Cups (not the one in Covid obviously) it was a big thing. Open top buses, the lot. That’s what the majority of fans want IMO. They’re no really interested in training grounds, stadiums etc (we know that as well as anyone I think). They can obviously comfort themselves with the progress they are making but that’ll soon wear off if they don’t start winning things.

All true, and I do think they have every right to be pleased with their progress in recent years…

But it needs to be a prerequisite to winning stuff, otherwise there isn’t any point. Folk who mock Spurs so much should surely realise that?

I think this is it.

In the last 10 years Man Utd have been in perpetual crisis but have 2 FA Cups, a League Cup and a Europa League to show for it. Arsenal have 2 FA Cups.

The mantra of 'we are challengers' or 'we are almost there' wears off pretty quickly if you aren't able to get over the line. If I was down to my last pound I wouldn't even consider sticking it on Arsenal to win the league next year, I'd be more likely to stick it on the fans turning on Arteta and him being punted before they win it again.

It's not dissimilar to Hibs albeit at a totally different level. Plenty people well into last season were still saying we were 'close'. That seems to have all but gone as most people are now realistic about how big the job is. If Arsenal can't convert progress into one of the big prizes in the next season or 2 the pressure will build. Same is true at United of course, for all the fans have enjoyed the 'minor' trophies they have won, none of them have saved the manager and yesterday will be no different albeit it might have bought the current incumbent more time to try and achieve something more meaningful.

In comparison to Manchester United, they will comfort themselves quite heavily by being 29 points ahead and beating them twice.

With the average players United have, yesterday was great. Just like Arsenal in 2017.

Fans turning on the guy who has them 2nd and back in the CL latter stages? Yeah, that isnt likely. They are much better this season than last year. Results against other big sides in league were near perfect. Should be right in there again.

I'd imagine United have spent a stupid amount more than Arsenal in that period too, especially on wages.

Not likely for now.

Another couple of seasons of finishing 2nd/3rd and losing in the QF or SF of the Champions League and it will be 'taken us as far as he can', 'time for change', 'we need a winner'.

Football fans are nothing if not predictable. Arteta will need a trophy at some point or he'll find that out.

[MWHIBBIES]

You keep going on about open top buses. Surely you can see a club moving forward in all aspects, playing very well and challenging and competing every week is better than a total mess, lowest ever premier league finish, out of champions league, manager under pressure, loaning out 350k a week record signing, and the stadium roof being, I think, the 4th largest waterfall in the UK.

All I've said is no one in their right mind is swapping places with United. That is it. No amount of smart comments change that.

Arteta has won a trophy with a much worse squad than this.

That might be the case. And if that does happen, an FA cup or league cup will change absolutely nothing. An FA cup isn't saving a failing top 6 manager his job. Mourinho, Wenger, Conte, Van Gaal all binned after winning cups. They aren't relevant to a top manager keeping his job.

It's hard to criticise fans who only show up when their club reaches a final if that's the mantra that we should adopt. Why bother with all the week to week drudgery if you can just rock up when there's a chance of a party?

As I said the Tornadoes' trophy haul didn't reflect their brilliance, while another very fine Hibs side under McLeish didn't win anything (bar the First Division title). Both sides, though, beat Hearts regularly (including the legendary 7-0 and 6-2 wins) because they were consistently strong in the league. What I'm pointing out is that if you invest in a season ticket or your weekly passion is following a club like Hibs then you want more than just plodding along aimlessly year after year.

2016 stands alone as arguably the best moment ever for Hibs fans because of the context, but overall we should be aspiring to more than a (very) occasional cup win to keep us appeased.

Aye, well if you read things you’d see I said that I’d take the arsenal team ahead of Utd as you can see them building.

I just can’t see many Man Utd fans coming up the road yesterday worrying about there being a hole in the roof or whatever. Bit rich, you talking about smart comments at the same time as talking about waterfalls right enough.

Anyway, if Arsenal start following up their progress with trophies it’s a different conversation. I still doubt they will.

The two things aren’t mutually exclusive. The crap times are made worthwhile when you do get that bit of success. And you don’t get the cup win if it’s crap all the time leading up to it anyway. Despite the poor league performances those seasons we did win something, you were still watching players like Brown, Fletcher and and McGinn. You were knocking Hearts out on the way to the final.

Welp, it looks like another year in the Championship for Raith, at least we won’t have to bare witness to Lewey playing against us

(Until we get them in a cup somewhere no doubt !)

[HendoDelivered]

It’s St J that Raith wanted to be playing for them to have any chance coming up IMO. County were always gonna take care of them I think, especially with Murray in form.

Thought the same. Ross County were always going to have goals in them to get them through the tie.

[J-C]

Can’t see Raith coming back from this.

Thought that too, both teams TBF are pretty bang average and there's not many I'd have at Hibs, maybe Murray off the bench. Anyway nice to get this thread back on course and away from the Arsenal chat who haven't played since last week.

[cabbageandribs1875]

a long three hours drive back to the kingdom of Kawdy

County it is, then. Great away day but they could really do with moving Dingwall a bit closer. Should make it a condition of letting them stay up.

That's that then . Ross county escape again.

On to the championship playoffs then with 2 big teams aiming to come up for a season before going straight back down. Hope Leeds win.

Don’t really see what these play off games bring to the table anymore. Wish we could get to a place where a 16-1& team league with 2 automatic relegation/promotion places..

A bigger league will never happen with so many teams dependant on the Glasgow pound. Giving both 2 or 3 stands every game.

There is not enough quality or money in Scottish football to support an enlarged league.

[JohnM1875]

There is not enough quality or money in Scottish football to support an enlarged league.

Surely the only way to increase the smaller teams money is to make the league bigger so they benefit from larger away crowds (Us, Hearts, Aberdeen, uglies)

With the added money the quality can improve.

I love Hibs and going to games. But playing teams four times a season is so ****ing boring.

[cabbageandribs1875]

[Hiber-nation]

Bring him back.

[Glory Lurker]

Raith dead as a club on aggregate.

[Exuberance1875]

Absolutely need to sign him again. No brainer.

[JohnM1875]

Bring him back.

Even at his age, he’s better than Vente.

[Donegal Hibby]

Some finish by Murray . Ross county just have that bit more quality than rovers

[Mcbizz1998]

If we don’t at least try to sign Murray then we might as well give up.

But also greatly reduce the gate money of the bigger clubs?

[Mcbizz1998]

Steady 😂

it’s the most obvious signing we can make. Knows the league, in top form, everything we are missing (goals, work rate, passion), played for us before, played for MM before, won’t cost us anything and wages won’t be massive.

If we don’t go for him then I will might give up, even if everyone else doesn’t 😂

But also greatly reduce the gate money of the bigger clubs?

We’re billionaires. We’ll be fine.

it’s the most obvious signing we can make. Knows the league, in top form, everything we are missing (goals, work rate, passion), played for us before, played for MM before, won’t cost us anything and wages won’t be massive.

I agree with the ‘signing him’ part.

No sure I’m ready for giving up if we don’t though 😂

Che Adams fit to play for Southampton, was kinda hoping he would be out a further 24 hours :), still at least just too soon for Stuart Armstrong for today but he will be fit for Euros.


Patrick Bamford of course is still out injured for Leeds

a stroll for county 4-0


NOT murray

Quite like the look of James Brown at RC.

First game I’ve noticed him admittedly.

Murray just whispered to Dhanda "see yi in the Edinburgh Derbies next season"



at least i think that's what he said anyway

I think/hope today rules out Ian Murray for the job. :greengrin

I thought Ross County would win with a bit to spare but didn’t think they’d be as comfortable as this.

Difference in quality in the two boxes, over both legs, been huge.

They really need to change the format of the Premiership play offs. So weighted in favour of the Premiership team (albeit I think County would have had far too much for Raith regardless in this instance).

[Donegal Hibby]

Wonder what's the chances of Ross county being in the playoffs for a third time ?

I don’t think one game should ever define someone’s managerial career, he’s had a fantastic season with them, there is no doubt of that.
