there’s plenty of words for it. Most of them unprintable

[Hibernia&Alba]

Andorra. It's tragic what Scottish football has become. An embarrassing and very sad moment.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Been a while … Have the rules changed and the game settled after the first leg these days ?
They have a chance to redeem themselves.

[James70]

No urgency till the last few minutes, misplaced passes, losing possession easily and barely winning a header the whole game. They seemed much faster on and off the ball and two scrappy goals conceded. We can't be as bad again next week can we?

[Northernhibee]

There are some results beyond redemption.

If they had three or four it would be tough to argue that it would have flattered them.

I'm sure we will get past them but it's a shocking result - anyone think of a poorer team we have lost to in Europe?

Next week will be a totally different game.

It wasn't just the result . The performance is 1 of the worst iv seen from hibs . It was an utter stinker

[Hibernia&Alba]

NOT Scottish football.....Hibs

We aren't alone in suffering this kind of result in Europe. Our league is awful.

[Pretty Boy]

We'll win the tie and pretty comfortably imo.

That doesn't in any way excuse the result tonight though, we should be tucking a team like that away even if thoughts of a 5 or 6 goal victory were always a bit fanciful. More concerning than the result was the performance though, we could well have been in a far worse position had they had just a bit more quality up top. Had we conceded 3 or 4 tonight we couldn't have complained too much.

[aarsan]

Andorra. It's tragic what Scottish football has become. An embarrassing and very sad moment.

Apart from the obvious jibes from the usual posters that I would be happy or it would please me, where do we go from here.

Surely we need a root and branch change of things at the club.

This afternoon has shown what a Johnson side is capable of.

Tell me right.

It’s a bad result, possibly the worst in our European history. But ties are two legged affairs.

We are 1-2 down at Half time, and we are playing down the slope the second half.

Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever in my opinion. So you can't have a horrific result or moan about it in a two legged game now?

We lost and deservedly so.

Aye we'll still go through. But that was so so poor from every player involved.

[7Hero]

It's hardly a knee jerk after a year of watching Johnson and Kensell failing to improve the footballing department.. How bad do we need to be ? Worse than this ?

Na we should just be grateful we made europe for a wee jolly. Never mind that we come up with new ways to become a complete laughing stock.

Also the squad is absolutely fine for the coming season.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Shocking performance throughout the team and it could have been worse. Just before we got the break which ultimately ended up with our goal, they had an attack which if their player had been more direct, could have ended up with them scoring a third, the guy just stopped running towards goal and turned back and then lost possession. 3-0 would probably have been tie over, so small mercies for that.

Marshall is finished and needs to be replaced for next week. I see nothing from Le Fondre, Melkerson or Doidge to suggest any of them could be a goalscoring threat this season. Doidge wasn't deemed good enough last season and shouldn't be this season, Melkerson, two goals apart in his debut, has been a disaster of a signing. Midfield is still bereft of any creativity as it has been for the last few seasons.

The quicker we get Boyle back in the team the better. Fish will obviously add quality into our defence, Obita will give us a better option at left back. Add in a new centre forward and creative midfielder and then this is a different team, but ****** me, that was a hard watch today.

Just go and win the next leg, that’s it. You can’t rip the arse out of the club at half time.

[jeffers]

Not sure why Kensell is being dragged into this. He was in a position where the owners son was playing at recruitment management, recognised that and brought in an experienced guy as DoF. He’s also done what a lot of people keep saying and given a manager time. Whether Johnson is the right man or not Kensell is giving him the best chance he can to succeed.

I mean they paid their money to go out there so more than entitled to vent their frustration. Not entirely sure what it achieves, but if they feel better after it fair enough. Was fuming after the game as well.

[WestStandWillie]

That’s not an acceptable performance regardless whether it’s competitive or not.

You look at the performance and you wonder how many of them actually give a single **** - you pull on the jersey and give 100% or you get yerself to ****

Were you happier with how things were immediately before Johnson was appointed?

I don't think calling for a complete overhaul 1 game into the new season is the right thing to do. I think if we did that it would throw us into turmoil and likely ruin the season. In your opinion, who should be sacked right now?

Looks like 'supporters' thinking the game (and a win) was a given and not realising it's only the first leg and we have a home leg to play with (hopefully) a large home backing behind them to get through the tie :aok: Johnson will learn from today, his selection was very poor, players were miles off it and perhaps fell foul to thinking it would be an easier game that it was.

Funny how we have gone from posts of 'Fish signs because he feels the love' to this nonsense :cb

Tie is two legs, awful today, no doubt about it, but fully confident we will get through with a few goals to spare. It'll be a totally different line up and better result at Easter Road :agree:

[BoomtownHibees]

Looks like 'supporters' thinking the game (and a win) was a given

Na, looks like ‘supporters’ who have spent a fortune following the team being frustrated and angry at another utterly abysmal performance

[truehibernian]

That's sport, that's football, it's littered with bad results - you pay your money, you take your chances, don't travel if you think it's a given and when it doesn't go our way and we don't get the result you want then. Spending money and travelling to support the team doesn't come with the condition that you are allowed to freely verbally abuse people if it goes against us :aok:

Not shying away from what is a terrible result but it's only 'half time' - save all that venting if we go out next week - even then, can't understand why people think it's okay to spout utter bile at our players.

[Keith_M]

Why put the word supporters in quotes?

I presume you're questioning whether they really are genuine supporters, in which case surely travelling all the way to Andorra pretty much confirms they are.


They have a right to be p1ssed off, and to tell the players/management that they should be ashamed of themselves.

[Donegal Hibby]

Doesn't help though does it ? Abit like the time Mckirdy was coming on in the Aberdeen game with Hibs fans booing him . Achieves absolutely nothing.

[Hibby70]

Some folk really need a grip on reality of what's important in life. Hurling abuse like that (from behind a fence) is over the top , regardless of how much money you've spent.

It's a game of football.

Does that come with a right to verbally abuse our players, coaches and manager simply because we lose? That's not 'support' in my eyes, that's stamping little feet and being childish :aok: by all means be angry, 'ashamed', and vent amongst yourselves - but to stay behind to give them pelters is shan patter and not support. Not questioning that they are genuine supporters, just questioning their reaction and behaviour - it's Violet Bott behaviour (one for the old yins).

Every team in our league and the championship would beat us if we played like that. Nowt to do with the league.

[HibbyDave]

The thing is the club worked all last season to qualify for Europe then the manager appears to consider the match a “get-fit” exercise.

Lee, either do your job and have them ready or step aside for a manager that will.

And you don't think the players felt it ? If a fan gave me that dogs abuse I'd quite happily offer them out :agree: they are human beings playing a game to win - they don't deserve that abuse, simple. It's football, sport, not life or death - anyone giving me that abuse would be sparkled in real day to day life :aok: do you verbally abuse your plumber because he doesn't fit your bathroom properly ? Do you stand outside your bank spitting vile abuse because you didn't get that overdraft? They would have reached for the Pampers if Rocky had offered them out.

Childish alcohol fuelled nonsense, end of. And posting on social media - attention seeking **** only saying 'we were there' IMO. Don't give that 'they care' **** - we all care, but how we conduct ourselves is more important. Whoever posted it is an embarrassment..

To use a Wee Gordon analogy, I've a quiche going out of date tonight that I have to cook, that's more important right now than a football result. (salmon and broccoli for those interested :greengrin)

We are a laughing stock on social media platforms, not to mention our city neighbours having a good laugh too.

This is the problem, Hibs fans happy all to accept that today. You may not be bothered but I am not willing to accept that and fully believe LJ should be sacked for it. An utter disgrace.

We've lost a match 2-1 but have the opportunity to put that right. If we win 3-0 at ER, history will ignore the first game. That's a long long way from losing the tie, so we don't need to get ahead of ourselves. I don't see any Hibs fan "happy to accept that". It's unacceptable .... but correctable. The concern IMO is not beating the Andorrans over 2 legs but the horrible quality of the first 11 we saw tonight. That midfield is horrid. Who's going to create goals, who's going to score score goals ? How bad is Marshall ? WTF is Johnson doing ? If Johnson is happy and thinks this is HIS team, he'll not see Xmas at ER.

Who's going to create goals, who's going to score score goals ? How bad is Marshall ? WTF is Johnson doing ? If Johnson is happy and thinks this is HIS team, he'll not see Xmas at ER.


That idiot Johnson wont see a week tomorrow if we don't turn this tie around. He better be under no illusion that his job hinges on us going through.

[Trinity Hibee]

I think one thing you couldn’t accuse that squad of is not caring.

Interesting. Going by what I saw today I really don’t think many of them do. Most do not deserve to be playing at a club like Hibs

[He's here!]

And you don't think the players felt it ? If a fan gave me that dogs abuse I'd quite happily offer them out :agree: they are human beings playing a game to win - they don't deserve that abuse, simple. It's football, sport, not life or death - anyone giving me that abuse would be sparkled in real day to day life :aok: do you verbally abuse your plumber because he doesn't fit your bathroom properly ? Do you stand outside your bank spitting vile abuse because you didn't get that overdraft? They would have reached for the Pampers if Rocky had offered them out.

Childish alcohol fuelled nonsense, end of. And posting on social media - attention seeking **** only saying 'we were there' IMO. Don't give that 'they care' **** - we all care, but how we conduct ourselves is more important. Whoever posted it is an embarrassment..

To use a Wee Gordon analogy, I've a quiche going out of date tonight that I have to cook, that's more important right now than a football result. (salmon and broccoli for those interested :greengrin)

The players can hardly have expected to be applauded off after that though? Sure, it's not healthy to let football results become all consuming but that really was a disgraceful display and I think the players and management deserve to take it on the chin.

[Hermit Crab]

What the **** are you on about, please show me one single post where I have said I am accepting mediocre pish

I am talking about you and others bubbling your eyes out about the big bad hearts fans laughing at us, you are an adult ffs yet your worried about some fans laughing at us, and jambos of all people 🤣🤣


They lost to Brora and Birkikara and how we laughed, we've just topped that tonight. Thats the issue, irrespective if we get through or not. We have outdone them yet again with a spectacular failure.

[DaveF]

That was horrific/shameful to watch.

I can't imagine how that can motivate our players.

I imagine it'll be laughed off by them and forgotten about already. I wouldn't worry about losing motivation as they had none in them during this evenings game to lose.

[Solonleith1]

I'd agree with this. The lack of urgency was pretty galling when behind. Newell and Youan when he wasn't spraying balls off the park or running into trouble, were the only only two that looked keen to drive the team forward in my opinion.

[Hibernian Verse]

They went out to Birkirkara and Brora. We are not out yet.

[pacoluna]

There are some results beyond redemption.

If they had three or four it would be tough to argue that it would have flattered them.

Rodgers got beat first leg in Gibraltar, it's a 2 leg tie.

[007]

This is my point about accepting mediocre pish. Submissive fans.

Other than your posts on here, what have you done that isn't (in your words) accepting mediocre pish and being submissive? Please enlighten us so we know what we should be doing.

It's a shocker, no question. But you're being a tad over-dramatic. Winning the 2 legged tie is what matters - just like any cup game. Lure the rest of the Conference League elite into a false sense of " we hope we draw Hibs" :greengrin

Nonsense, we have a chance to progress still, hearts never. Awful result that hopefully we'll turn round.

[7Hero]

Surely we need a root and branch change of things at the club.

This afternoon has shown what a Johnson side is capable of.

Agreed. Kensall overseeing a terrible period of footballing inadequacy, all the Fancy award winning corporate facilities and greenest club in the country fanfare mean nothing when the manager and team are absolute pony, doesn't help we employed a director of football recommended by the manager and the 2 of them are pals.

Tough decsions ahead for Kensall and McDermott regards Johnson and equally tough decision for the Gordon's to empty Ben.,

Only tough decisions to them right enough, most of us would have done it already...

Totally agree, but I'm not for waiting behind and spouting abuse at players simply because they didn't win a game of football. Spending money travelling doesn't give anyone a divine right to abuse anyone, let alone feel great filming it. It's not support, it's utterly childish and knuckle dragging behaviour for me. Says more about their sad lives than anything. Have a moan and rant at the game, okay, but to wait and abuse players coming off the pitch - nah, that's **** patter IMO.coming

It's not just because we lost though is it? I mean, we have all seen Hibs lose before...

The manner of the performance has so much to do with it. Had we lost 2-1 but had 25 efforts on goal, everyone would have done exactly what you said - had moan over a beer.

That didn't happen and the players and Johnson need to accept their part on it all rather than piling blame onto 10 or so fans who were a wee bit OTT.

[B.H.F.C]

That idiot Johnson wont see a week tomorrow if we don't turn this tie around. He better be under no illusion that his job hinges on us going through.

But it doesn’t. If we get knocked out (which we won’t) he’ll not get the sack.

He’s been on terrible runs, had the double derby defeat in January and survived that. He’s just been heavily backed in this window. He no going anywhere any time soon.

How about common decency and respect ? It's not 'on a high horse', it's simply treating people with a wee bit of respect - they play for the (our) club, they don't set out to lose, they try their best, and **** happens sometimes. Does that give anyone the right, purely because they've paid for a ticket, to abuse them ?

Player contracts should be laid out in such a way where they only get a full weeks wages if they win. Half wages for a draw and quarter wages for a defeat. I bet they'd try harder then. They're not giving a donald duck as they get paid full whack regardless of embarrassing defeats. If the club had balls they'd all be fined for that performance today.

Football doesn't lend itself easily to putting things in perspective tho. When I was younger a Hibs defeat had the capacity to ruin the rest of my weekend - and beyond if it was an especially painful loss. I actually took a step back from the game some years ago to ensure a better balance to my life and thanks to that I can let results like today's wash over me to a large extent. As you say, there are far more worthwhile things to focus on. However, the tribal nature of the game is such that for many it's not like walking away from, say, a cricket, tennis or rugby match or a golf tournament where you can have a good day out and not sweat too much about the final outcome. You can even sit back and admire sport for sport's sake. A football team though runs in the blood and I think its harsh to say people's lives are sad if they get that angry about what they were served up today. We may not be the biggest club in the world but we are a proud one with a great history and there will be plenty of fans whose lives largely revolve around its fortunes. Those who play for Hibs and manage them should understand that passions will sometimes overflow when they fall far below expectations.

Very good (and heartfelt) post mate, and undoubtedly most would agree. It's a very emotive game, more so than many, but I would never stay behind to hurl abuse at any Hibs player - they've earned the right to play for my club, I respect that, and admittedly I'll be loud at games in my 'criticism', I just don't see the need to abuse any player (or staff member) - I know first hand the work that every level of the club do, they certainly don't merit me hurling abuse at them.

It's half time in this game, here's hoping we come out second half and pump them :aok:

That's sport, that's football, it's littered with bad results - you pay your money, you take your chances, don't travel if you think it's a given and when it doesn't go our way and we don't get the result you want then. Spending money and travelling to support the team doesn't come with the condition that you are allowed to freely verbally abuse people if it goes against us :aok:

Not shying away from what is a terrible result but it's only 'half time' - save all that venting if we go out next week - even then, can't understand why people think it's okay to spout utter bile at our players.

Thats a fine summary of where many are at and will always be, it's the way of things. No one should be quick to condemn a visceral reaction to that result, especially among those who actually travelled. The other side of the coin is that when hibs win, it's magic. We should expect an understanding of that from those who put the jersey on, at a minimum.

For a Hibernian manager to lead us through arguably the worst result in our clubs entire history and respond the way he has is a complete embarrassment in itself.

The only, even slightly, redeeming feature would have been to come out, hold his hands up, and say that the result/performance was completely unacceptable and wouldn't be tolerated going forward.

In the past, clubs paid lower basic wages but with bigger win bonuses. That's effectively what you'e calling for I think?

Not sure what's wrong with incentive based pay. Seems fair to me and we'll be doing it to a certain extent. Maybe just need to adjust the starting point.

A couple of years ago we were all laughing at Hearts for Budge's way of offering big basic wages instead.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I only saw the first half, thankfully, but in that 45 minutes it's as poor a performance as I've seen in recent years. Pre match Hibs had gone on about how narrow the pitch was, so narrow it turns out we couldn't keep the ball on it, I don't think I've ever seen so many balls passed off the park in one half of football by people who are actually paid to play the game.

It is an embarrassing result and performance that fans. especially the ones who travelled, have a bloody right to be angry about, but at the end of the day we are only a goal down with another 90 minutes to come at Easter Road.

Make no mistake about it though, it doesn't matter what folk's opinion is of the Hibs fans reaction at the end of the game, if there is any player taking the pet over it they had better get over it damned quick, because they bloody well deserved it. Aye it's only a game of football, but it's a game that gets folk so emotionally involved they are prepared to take time off work, spend a bloody fortune and travel for hours and hours just to watch a 2nd round tie in a competition we have absolutely no chance of winning ... no bloody wonder folk over reacted ( if that's even what it was ) not to the result, but the inept performance, which was absolutely miles below what this club, and it's fans, are entitled to expect against this level of opposition.

Anyway, as I said. We have the opportunity to set things straight next week and if we do this result will be quickly forgotten. Fail to do so and I won't blame any fan who calls for the manager's head, his cup record since joining this club is abysmal.
If he seriously thinks adding a European exit at the hands of Andorra's 2nd best club, where we have the 2nd leg at home, to failing to get out of a 'gimmie' group in last season's league cup and a 0 - 3 thumping at home to Hearts in the 4th round of the Scottish is the way to keep his job, he truly is the slaver some folk say he is.

Today was totally unacceptable ... get it sorted Hibs, where the **** is your pride FFS !!!

Im genuinely not wanting to into the finer details, but losing to this lot today cant have been far from the worst.

Size of nation etc etc this I find most humiliating and definitely worst result i can remember

[Criswell]

It's just another result to add to the embarrassing results for Scottish clubs in Europe.

Celtic v Lincoln Red Imps
Aberdeen v Bohemians
Hearts v Birkikna
Killie. Connahs Key Nomads

Rangers v Progress

There's probably more. At least we have a chance to turn it around. HT in the tie.

In his interview on Wednesday, he said he was worried about the altitude (and various other things, eg the pitch and the weather) before they travelled but now he was there he wasn’t worried at all as they weren’t an issue. He even said something along the lines of “so that’s all the excuses gone”.

Then we turn out to be crap and he’s using as an excuse the stuff he has previously said he couldn’t use as an excuse.

The guy is an idiot.

[6-2MAGIC]

Look the reality is we will steam roll that team next week at ER guaranteed. The fact that we lost 2-1 to a Sunday league team is utterly unacceptable, performance wise we looked horrendous. No point in me slagging off the management or players/new players - but since last season I have always said LJ isn't the man for Hibs the recruitment the past few seasons has been shocking as well, I have stood by that view for months now. If Lennon was the manager that result would never happen or be tolerated.

If you don’t like the thread you can ignore it. You must be another quite happy with it


Oh stop it.

It's just another result to add to the embarrassing results for Scottish clubs in Europe.

Celtic v Lincoln Red Imps
Aberdeen v Bohemians
Hearts v Birkikna
Killie. Connahs Key Nomads
Motherwell v Glentoran
Rangers v Progress

There's probably more. At least we have a chance to turn it around. HT in the tie.

We're not the first Scottish club to have a stinker in Europe and wont be the last.

As you say, we've gone in 2-1 down at half time. It's very recoverable.

[He's here!]

Im genuinely not wanting to into the finer details, but losing to this lot today cant have been far from the worst. I get that there are defeats along the way that have probably been more hurtful, livi cup final ,Hearts 5-1 , hamilton play off final to name a few . But in terms of quality of club , size of club . Size of nation etc etc this I find most humiliating and definitely worst result i can remember

That's the point I think. Had we been in control of the game and Inter had scored via a couple of freakish goals you could let it pass but Inter were actually the better side. It was embarrassing to watch.

Based on that I'm not sure I share the confidence of those saying we'll breeze through next week.

I did say it was embarrassing but we’re still in the competition - for now. Various knock-out cup defeats over the years have been far more painful for me - the likes of the two recent St J defeats. We blew a tremendous opportunity to win two trophies there. Aberdeen semi in 2000 when we never really showed up and they were rank. I’m disappointed with yesterday’s result, its a black mark in our history, but nothing is lost by it yet.

Yep and it's not the first time he's contradicted himself. He's a slaver

I didn’t think they were the better side. They maybe edged the first half, but we were much the better side in the second, despite the fact that we still played utterly crap. We need to stop playing Marshall in goals and get our best players on the pitch. Next week with Fish in the defence, Obita at left back and Boyle as an attacking right winger we will turn them over.

im not saying for a second that the performance was acceptable, it was utter pish.

Motherwell v Sligo Rovers?

There's a lot of understandable angst around at the moment, but let's wait until the 2nd leg before going off on one. If we lose that then by all means burn down the stadium, but we're not a laughing stock yet, merely a figure of fun, as Celtc were after their Gibraltar horror.

[Not In The Know]

Football doesn't lend itself easily to putting things in perspective tho. When I was younger a Hibs defeat had the capacity to ruin the rest of my weekend - and beyond if it was an especially painful loss. I actually took a step back from the game some years ago to ensure a better balance to my life and thanks to that I can let results like today's wash over me to a large extent. As you say, there are far more worthwhile things to focus on. However, the tribal nature of the game is such that for many it's not like walking away from, say, a cricket, tennis or rugby match or a golf tournament where you can have a good day out and not sweat too much about the final outcome. You can even sit back and admire sport for sport's sake. A football team though runs in the blood and I think its harsh to say people's lives are sad if they get that angry about what they were served up today. We may not be the biggest club in the world but we are a proud one with a great history and there will be plenty of fans whose lives largely revolve around its fortunes. Those who play for Hibs and manage them should understand that passions will sometimes overflow when they fall far below expectations.

Well said!

You just need to pick a few adjectives out from any headline in the press. Calamitous and embarrassing to name two. That’s exactly what the manager and players have brought upon this club. They deserve everything said against them.

I only saw the second half so we must have been REALLY crap in the first! I thought we looked a bit more urgent/threatening in the very late stages but to me it seemed Inter always looked more threatening going forward and despite Marshall's mistake there was a sense that their second goal was coming. Their passing/possession was tidier and while we may have had more of the ball we did little more than mis-hit passes and launch hopeful balls forward.

The first half was the worst 45 minutes of football I've seen from a Hibs side, genuinely atrocious.

I know folk are unhappy about the excuses but after the match Joe Newell mentioned the wind, which we had going our way in the first half. That went a long way to making us overhit a lot of our longer passes and I think Johnson wanted us to play a direct style and get in behind them. In the second half that became a bit more straightforward with the ball holding up more but we were just so far off it it still wasn't in the ball park of acceptable.

If the fans want to boo the team and manager that's fine even though it's not for me but what they got from fans was nothing more than abuse and imo that's not on and is totally unacceptable .

[Since452]

The players have a chance to get some credibility back next week. If they don't, and god forbid we go out to this lot (who deserve a lot of credit by the way) then each and every one of them including the manager will deserve every bit of criticism that comes their way. I don't just want to win next week, i want to win well and by a big margin. It's the least they can do. Over to you Hibs. Sort it the **** out.

If that’s the case, I don’t know if it’s the manager getting it wrong or players lacking the intelligence to adapt to the conditions.

This is my point about accepting mediocre pish. Submissive fans.

What does not accepting yesterdays result get you that those who've accepted it dont?

[Keepthefaith]

Not accepting mediocrity at all, and agree that the performance ( in some ways more than the result for me) was truly awful. However for some context were not alone and at least we still have a chance at redemption....so long as we don't capitulate at home 😬

Second half v Groningen I thought we looked good yes it's a friendly but you could see cohesion and ability. I think the club would accept the wrath of the fans and Newell I thought spoke well...did ask the question of where the hell Hanlon was though.

Think we need to keep the faith, we have fish back, Boyle to come in and a striker incoming. IMO the midfield answers may come from our talented youth, time to give them a chance??

The number of players who come through from the youth set-up and nail down a place is very low. Same at all clubs I think but it would be nice to bring a few more home-grown players through for sure. Are managers wary of giving them a chance or is it just a fact that very few youth players make it at bigger clubs?

I'm not even sure what any of that highlighted bit means? :wink: I've yet to see anyone say that the performance was anything but awful, in fact i posted on one of the threads last night that i cant remember a worse performance since i started going nearly 60 years ago.

Not accepting it, accepting it, it makes no difference to the result, no difference to next weeks result, it's just a way of saying i'm hurting more than the next fan.

I actually thought the same watching his interview, the captain should be the one being asked the questions, even if newell wanted to the captain should have said no I'll do it, that's what being a captain is about

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but what was with the tape over the Eden Mill sponsor on the back of the top? Could we seriously not have had player spec jerseys made without that sponsor specially for European competition? All a bit amateur

That explains why they were hitting it further, like when I put lead tape on the back of my 5 iron.

Considering the game wasn't even supposed to be on the telly, and wasn't apart from in Scotland, I doubt it was something we even thought about.

It will be interesting to see what happens if we make it to the next round though. How will UEFA look at our front of shirt advert, which though not for alcohol is still to a degree alcohol related, they haven't allowed alcohol adverts in their competitions for years. If Hibs do get through I'm guessing we will either have to play in blank shirts or get a Europe specific sponsor for however long we remain in the competition. Certainly cant cover the whole strip in sticky tape :greengrin

Does it not depend on where the game is played? I’m sure they’re strict on alcohol advertising in France but not so strict elsewhere, so we may not have to adapt everywhere we go. Not sure it’s a UEFA thing.

[Hibernian Verse]

Article 27 Advertising restrictions
27.01
All advertising of tobacco and strong alcohol, (i.e. any beverage with an alcohol content of more than 15% abv unless the applicable domestic legislation sets a lower limit) is prohibited.

27.02
Any bans or restrictions imposed by the domestic legislation of the country in which a UEFA competition match is taking place also apply.

27.03
Teams must obtain written authorisation from the UEFA administration for all sponsor advertising in accordance with Article 6.

[Eyrie]

So the Bevvy sponsorship must have been approved by UEFA under 27.03 then.

[Hibernian Verse]

So the Bevvy sponsorship must have been approved by UEFA under 27.03 then.

Yeah, the sponsor isn’t advertising alcohol as such.

[007]

So the Bevvy sponsorship must have been approved by UEFA under 27.03 then.

Can't we just tell UEFA they're not the main sponsor, they're the technical director of advertising or something?
