Spain vs Scotland in Seville

[lyonhibs]

Normally not a huge fan of the international break but they've been a bit more tolerable of late and I'm off to Seville via Madrid on Wednesday evening.

Anyone else making the trip? It's meant to still be touching 30 which is a good few degrees more than I'd like, but should be an excellent trip.

I’m just about to head off to Malaga Airport to pick up my mates - heading up to Seville on Wednesday for 3 days. Tickets in the tail 😁

[scm70nyd1973]

I can’t stand the sight of Rodri so I devised a wee song for him (using the Warburton is a “fandango” tune)I’ve changed the lyrics for the pleasure of Mr Rodri.





Rodri is a fa@“y

He’s just a f@“king t@“t

His team got f@“ked at Hampden

He coundnae handle that

He thinks that he’s a hero

Just every where he goes

But he’s a f@“king fanny

And everybody knows

AND REPEAT

[Col2]

Just need a point to qualify or Norway drop points in Cyprus!

I thought we needed the win the guarantee qualification but not so given other permutations and head to heads. Not impossible but just as likely it goes to Sunday and Norway fail to beat Spain.

[DIXIHIBS]

6 of us heading to Benidorm tmrow. 3 are then heading on to Seville...other 3 watching in pub. Cmon Scotland.

[Since90+2]

Spain will beat us on Thursday but we'll still qualify.

Norway failing to best Spain the most likely I would have thought.

[bod]

Heading out Tuesday then onto France

[Frazerbob]

Got back from Paris last night, 2 days of work then off to Seville. Going to be roasty toasty!

[Hibee87]

Im heading to Spain on Saturday. Chances are I will be watching the Norway Spain game in a boozer with the Spaniards hoping for a Spain win/draw and we qualify - I dont see us qualifying before hand, but you never know.

Not usually a fan of some of the songs proposed on Hibs.net, but I quite like that. [emoji106]

[Sylar]

Spain will beat us on Thursday but we'll still qualify.

I wish I had your confidence, but I've seen this movie before...


Norway failing to best Spain the most likely I would have thought.

This, for me, is the most likely avenue via which we qualify.

[SteveHFC]

Spain will beat us on Thursday but we'll still qualify.

More bothered about Norway not beating Spain on Sunday if we lose on Thursday.

[Helensburghhibs]

Fly to malaga tomorrow, benalmadina til saturday, with a bus to the game

[Ringothedog]

I wish I had your confidence, but I've seen this movie before...



This, for me, is the most likely avenue via which we qualify.

If we don’t beat or draw with Spain we beat Georgia or even Norway. Scotland will qualify for Germany

[HoboHarry]

If we don’t beat or draw with Spain we beat Georgia or even Norway. Scotland will qualify for Germany
Correct, with or without our good start it would be optimistic at any time to think we could go to Spain and get a point or even win. Not belittling our efforts so far by the way, just recognising the strength of Spain.

[scm70nyd1973]

Not usually a fan of some of the songs proposed on Hibs.net, but I quite like that. [emoji106]

Cheers - but it’s nowhere near as good as the epic “Warburton” song 😁

[cabbageandribs1875]

Kevin Nisbet out with a hamstring injury, ryan jack out injured as well

[SteveHFC]

If we don’t beat or draw with Spain we beat Georgia or even Norway. Scotland will qualify for Germany

Norway must beat Spain next Tuesday if they don't then its done no matter our results

[Del Boy]

Norway must beat Spain next Tuesday if they don't then its done no matter our results

Sunday

[lyonhibs]

Kevin Nisbet out with a hamstring injury, ryan jack out injured as well

Compared with their injury list, that's a doddle, neither of them would be near starting anyway.

Flight to Madrid tonight, train to Seville tomorrow morning. Buzzing.

[Trinity Hibee]

Hope all those going enjoy and we get the result we need to qualify.

[WeeRussell]

It’s Tierney being out that’s a huge loss for us. Albeit he had about his poorest game for Scotland that I’ve seen against England, he remains one of our most important players in these games.

[weecounty hibby]

I am in the algarve, got here yesterday. Plane had loads of Scotland fans heading on from Faro then up to seville. Guy beside us was with his partner. His parents are coming from Belgium to Madrid and then to Seville and his sister was flying into Malaga from London. All have tickets for the Spain end.

Yup, me too, but the away end has effectively been extended by Scots buying up the neighbouring sections.

[007]

I see Nesbit has pulled out of the squad due to an injury and not only has Shankland not been called up as a replacement, nobody has. Clarke would rather have nobody than Shankland. 😂

indeedy, the latter possibly wouldn't have featured at all as used very infrequently and not even a sub appearance in a few fixtures, only need the one striker anyway, i think Dykes will start with Adams replacing

Rab C?

[PatHead]

Looking forward to tonight. Not sure if we can get the point we require but hoping that we can make a tough game of it.

[lyonhibs]

Beautiful place, its jumping as today is a national holiday in Spain. But Jesus Christ the heat.

[eastterrace]

Rab C?
Yeh wish they would get his surname right Nisbet Not Nesbit.

[SJNB Hibby]

If we don’t beat or draw with Spain we beat Georgia or even Norway. Scotland will qualify for Germany
If we only lose by one goal tonight then win our last two games, we'll top the group

[California-Hibs]

Complete free hit, it's a beautiful situation to be in because even if we don't get the required 1 point in the next 3 games, Spain are going to beat or at worst draw with Norway on Sunday anyway which will see us officially qualified.

So nice to be saying with 3 games to spare that it's done and we've qualified for back to back Euros 😎

[cabbageandribs1875]

Scotland XI: Gunn, Hickey, Hendry, Porteous, McKenna, Robertson, McGregor, McTominay, McGinn, Christie, Dykes.

[HarpOnHibee]

No reason to sit back in this one. I reckon we'll be throwing everything at them from the get go. The Spanish are saying they're a better side now than the side Scotland beat previously. I guess we'll soon find out.

[cabbageandribs1875]

two goal win for espana is my prediction

but



mon bonnie escocia :saltireflag

[Hiber-nation]

England game was a big wake up call. Expecting an onslaught from the word go. This will be as tough as it gets.

[SteveHFC]

Rodri in tears again please.

[Bishop Hibee]

3-0 Spain but we’ll beat Georgia away and Norway at home.

[erin go bragh]

Porto playing the left wing back is a strange one but cmon the Scots.

[Billy Whizz]

Porto playing the left wing back is a strange one but cmon the Scots.

Wouldn’t have thought so, McKenna is a left sided player

[Brightside]

Wouldn’t have thought so, McKenna is a left sided player

According to some it doesn’t matter playing right sided players at LCB. 😂

[Hiber-nation]

Porto playing the left wing back is a strange one but cmon the Scots.

He's surely playing right sided centre back. McKenna will be on the left. Robertson will be left wing back.

[Jim44]

I can’t help feeling the Spanish pundit is s******ing and sneering at Stewart and Hutton. He is confident that Spain will win comfortably. He might be right but he’s annoying me.:greengrin


I’m glad I didn’t include ‘Scunthorpe’ as well.

[Lancs Harp]

The jury from England.

You'll qualify easily and deservedly so. Get stuffed tonight though.

[HarpOnHibee]

I can’t help feeling the Spanish pundit is s******ing and sneering at Stewart and Hutton. He is confident that Spain will win comfortably. He might be right but he’s annoying me.:greengrin

It's the attitude of just having to be there and believing they'll simply win by default. I really hope that's what their players believe going into this one.

[WeeRussell]

Porto playing the left wing back is a strange one but cmon the Scots.

Just a mistake on the graphic. One of a couple!

[SJNB Hibby]

Holy $h!t how did he miss that

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Porteous wearing 15, it's an outrage. 😄

[SteveHFC]

Ffs

[DH1875]

Spain should be 2 nil up already. Gonna be a long night.

[Onceinawhile]

Crazy how good France's centre back options are, when players who can't get a game for them are winning the nations league with Spain!

[Jim44]

Spain should be 2 nil up already. Gonna be a long night.

Spain look too strong for us but we’ve had a couple of nice plays and don’t look overawed by the occasion. A solid and confident performance from us is probably the best we can hope for.

[blackpoolhibs]

I'm not convinced we can go another 75 minutes without conceding. :greengrin

[heretoday]

Hickey brilliant? Radio commentator seems to think so. Hickey is a good young player.
Messi is brilliant.

[J-C]

Will be a long night and concentration levels need to be kept high.

[Ronniekirk]

I'm not convinced we can go another 75 minutes without conceding. :greengrin
Just keep everything crossed snd hope

[Jim44]

Good defending from Porteous there. Oyarzabal should have been booked for ham acting.

[cabbageandribs1875]

referee's a homer :agree:

[SteveHFC]

Ref is a moron.

[DH1875]

Been given his orders from UEFA. Scotland must not win lol.

[Mon Dieu4]

That was the textbook definition of a foul on SJM, nothing short of cheating by the ref

[Jim44]

referee's a homer :agree:

His decision at the body block on McGinn is absolute proof that we will get nothing from this muppet.

they're throwing everything but the kitchen Sink at us

[cabbageandribs1875]

spain 'goal' offside

looked on at first :greengrin

[Northernhibee]

This is agony.

[The Modfather]

Off the post and avoids the keeper, offside goal chalked off. Is it going to be one of those nights in our favour tonight?

Can’t tell if I want to watch another hour of this wave after wave, or for Spain to score soon and I can finally relax and accept a valiant defeat.

[SteveHFC]

Need to get Dykes off.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Robertson takes a hit from the keeper, picks up an injury then has to get subbed, how the referee doesn't see the keeper clattering him is anyone's guess


Ref is a homer :agree:

[SteveHFC]

Robertson off injured.

[HarpOnHibee]

Assault on Roberston. Freekick to the goalie. :rolleyes:

[HoboHarry]

they're throwing everything but el fregerado at us




:)
ftfy

[cabbageandribs1875]

if you zoom in you can actually see a wad of Euros in the referees back pocket

[Jim44]

Robertson off with a possibly serious arm injury. Pressure on Scotland mounts and with a referee in the home side’s pocket, we have little chance of getting anything from this match.

[Mantis Toboggan]

Embarrassing refereeing all round. Not even subtle

[Keith_M]

Embarrassing refereeing all round. Not even subtle


:agree:

Has the ref been bribed or has he got money on the home side?

[cabbageandribs1875]

Patterson got his pocket picked there

[Pretty Boy]

If we get a point here it's a miracle.

Playing 12 men and can barely string 2 passes together.

[cabbageandribs1875]

yellow card Merino

HT 0-0


Scotland have been waiting for the goals until they shoot towards the away fans :)

[The Modfather]

I know Porteous had to move as he was stagnating at best, going backwards at worst, but how I wish we still had him under a proper manager in Montgomery.

[DH1875]

Its not football 🤣.

[WeeRussell]

I know Porteous had to move as he was stagnating at best, going backwards at wits, but how I wish we still had him under a proper manager in a Montgomery.

Dykes being booked, undeservedly, is a pain in the arse. Totally changed the way he’s going to play. We’ll prob have to switch him at some point with no like for like available

[DH1875]

Wait till you see this guy. Some player.

[Pretty Boy]

I'm hoping for the ugliest, most backs to the wall, niggly fouling, time wasting, ****housing 45+ minutes I have ever seen now.

[HoboHarry]

Wait till you see this guy. Some player.

Cheating *****

Corruption.

[Stairway 2 7]

Unbelievable

[overdrive]

That’s disgraceful

[HH81]

That is stupid. Var and ref are embarrassing.

[SteveHFC]

This ref is a cheating ****.

[blackpoolhibs]

****in cheat.

[Moulin Yarns]

Radio saying a tiny nudge on the keeper.

[DH1875]

Oh my. Is that allowed 😳

Seems not.

[cabbageandribs1875]

was that freakin Hendry ?

[Jpdhfc]

Disgraceful

[J-C]

Cheating, it's as simple as that.

[HarpOnHibee]

There's was absolutely nothing wrong with that. Ref living up to his reputation.

[B.H.F.C]

That is out and out cheating.

[wookie70]

Playing against 12 here. Imagine getting denied after hitting that shot

[Jakhog1]

That is disgraceful

[Hiber-nation]

To look at the VAR and actually give that as a foul..well it's as bad a decision as you'll see.

Scandalous.

[Since452]

Pathetic decision

[Pretty Boy]

Soon as that was sent for review you knew what was coming.

You expect a bit of favouritism for the big boys but this is just blatant corruption.

[Mantis Toboggan]

There was a Spain player holding one of ours on the front of the image. Whys that not a foul yet the keeper gently colliding is? One of the worst decisions I've ever seen

[007]

Corruption before our very eyes just like the Italy game for Euro 2008.

[cabbageandribs1875]

2-0 norway

[tomhorn]

Playing against 12 here. Imagine getting denied after hitting that shot

Ref couldn't wait to chalk that one off. He knew his decision before he watched it.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Serdar Gözübüyük freakin cheat, a right Dutch Master

[Mantis Toboggan]

I see a clear foul on Dykes and absolutely nothing on the goalie. This ref can get ****ed.

[SteveHFC]

Confirmed by UEFA it was a foul.

What :faf:

[Heisenberg]

That’s one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen.

[bringbackbenny]

He's taken a bung

[HH81]

This ref is giving them a dodgy pen.

[erin go bragh]

Foul on the keeper my arse. Horrendous decision.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Haaland double 3-0 Norway

[SJNB Hibby]

2-0 norway

[007]

Miraculous recovery by Morata to get up and give Jack Hendry some abuse.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Games a ****ing bogie

[Northernhibee]

confirmed by uefa it was a foul.

What :faf:

**** uefa.

[wookie70]

When you consider the contact their Keeper made of Robertson and got a foul it is ridiculous that goal never stood. Football is openly corrupt though.

[Pretty Boy]

Did Simon even claim for it? He didn't look like a man who believed he had been fouled.

[Off the bar]

Corruption before our very eyes just like the Italy game for Euro 2008.

I’m still angry about that

[Northernhibee]

And another foul that never is.

[The Modfather]

If that’s a foul I expect to see 200 fouls per game.

[Dmas]

Worst refereeing performance I’ve ever seen here absolutely horrific

[007]

Would love it if us and Norway go through.

[Jim44]

Any folk who ridiculously argue that there is no blatant corruption in football refereeing, should have a good think to themselves. Outrageous.

[wookie70]

Ref starting to get desperate for a Spain result. Every decision going the bigger teams way.

[cjhibee1]

Feels similar to us v Italy in 2008 and Henry's handball v Ireland. UEFA are a joke.

[HarpOnHibee]

Any folk who ridiculously argue that there is no blatant corruption in football refereeing, should have a good think to themselves. Outrageous.

It's just "incompetence". Honest. :rolleyes:

[007]

Spain are the Rangers of international football.

[Since452]

The game really is done if that's a foul. The keeper was probably more surprised than anyone it wasn't given. Didn't even claim for it.

[DH1875]

Can't believe there is still 20 minutes of this game to go.

[Mikey_1875]

I’d be expecting someone to go full Martin Keown on the ref and Rodri at FT if we get a result here.

[Off the bar]

Different game if our perfectly legitimate goal stood.

[Northernhibee]

Utterly cheated.

[Aldo]

I’d be expecting someone to go full Martin Keown on the ref and Rodri at FT if we get a result here.

Regardless of the outcome Clarke needs to call the officials out in his post match

[DH1875]

They still need another one for the head to head.

[overdrive]

How do you say “match fixing” in Spanish and Dutch?

[007]

How was that not a card....silly question.

[SteveHFC]

Never seen a referee performance like this.

[wookie70]

How is that not a booking

[DH1875]

Regardless of the outcome Clarke needs to call the officials out in his post match

100%

How’s he not booked him there? ****ing cheating ****

[OtleyHibs]

UEFA now changing reason for disallowed goal to offside

The games just corrupt

[Mon Dieu4]

UEFA coming out with anything now to try and hide the rampant cheating

[overdrive]

UEFA now trying to cover their arse by saying it was offside rather than a foul

[cabbageandribs1875]

can't, UEFA would allocate the same referee for our two remaining games

[SJNB Hibby]

[wookie70]

A wee bit late drawing the lines for offside.

[DH1875]

UEFA now trying to cover their arse by saying it was offside rather than a foul

It was offside though.

[HarpOnHibee]

He was offside, but had no influence on anything whatsoever.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Our goal offside?


i can't see now my remote control has left a few cracks on my TV screen, it's looks like a jigsaw puzzle

[overdrive]

It was offside though.

That’s not what they said it was for though. It also can’t be for offside. The ref doesn’t go to the screen for offside. They are lying that this is the reason it was disallowed.

[Mantis Toboggan]

It was offside though.

Doesn't matter. Wasn't the basis for the decision when it was made and wasn't checked at the time so they can't now say that it was offside anyway.

[ChicoM1875]

Dodgy as ****

[heretoday]

Bollox. Scrap var now.

[The Modfather]

It was offside though.

How many times has a referee been sent to the monitor to check an offside?

[SJNB Hibby]

Keep it 1-0, we own the tie break, score and we're through

[007]

A wee bit late drawing the lines for offside.

That makes it even more dodgy. Said foul at first and then took them 15 minutes to change it to offside, showing it from an angle where it is impossible to tell. There's angle where the view is perfect.

[Heisenberg]

That’s not what they said it was for though. It also can’t be for offside. The ref doesn’t go to the screen for offside. They are lying that this is the reason it was disallowed.

Exactly. Bull**** to cover up for their cheating.

[wookie70]

What a chance

[Chorley Hibee]

That McTominay decision is yet another designed to protect UEFA's big boys from failing to qualify.

VAR was never about levelling the playing field, it was always about introducing another layer for the smaller clubs/nations to navigate and make their attempt to usurp the big boys even more difficult.

The game stinks.

[Ryan91]

Expect a statement from UEFA tomorrow saying the goal should have stood at this rate.

[OtleyHibs]

Header that back across goal Porto!

Couple of half chances there, can still do this

[wookie70]

Another great chance, well defended

[HarpOnHibee]

Expect a statement from UEFA tomorrow saying the goal should have stood at this rate.

After the way they protected this corrupt cretin in 2015, they're not about to hang him out to dry now.

[SteveHFC]

I want the SFA to make a complaint tonight.

[OtleyHibs]

Great covering there, heart in mouth moment

[MWHIBBIES]

Bollox. Scrap var now.

How would that help? It's the same **** refs with even less help?

Start binning the **** refs when they make **** mistakes.

Klopp has been right for 2 weeks and he just got abuse because he's Liverpool gaffer. The standard of refereeing is terrible, something has to be done.

[Northernhibee]

What are you doing Porto?

[cabbageandribs1875]

can someone make a meme of the referee hugging every spanish player after they scored

[Northernhibee]

How would that help? It's the same **** refs with even less help?

Sure I read Hearts didn't negotiate a sell on as such.

[Northernhibee]

Who was it a mistake by? Genuinely.

That decision wasn’t born of incompetence.

Okay.

Back in reality, it's just a **** referee. They're everywhere. It's nothing even close to how bad the Liverpool Spurs saga was tbh. No consequences, no standards, no consistency.

[Heisenberg]

Laporte gets booked finally when the game is done.

[wookie70]

How he is still on teh park would be a mystery if the ref wasn't obviously corrupt

a friendly with the world champions just to get the players confidence up again

[Mantis Toboggan]

Okay.

Back in reality, it's just a **** referee. They're everywhere. It's nothing even close to how bad the Liverpool Spurs saga was tbh. No consequences, no standards, no consistency.

It's worse, they are trying to cover it up by changing the reason for the decision after the fact

[wookie70]

More of a foul on Adams than it was on their Keeper

the referee for tonight https://nltimes.nl/2015/04/18/top-dutch-football-referee-denies-match-fixing https://nltimes.nl/2015/04/18/top-dutch-football-referee-denies-match-fixing

Jeezo

[Mon Dieu4]

Referees

They don't work in isolation, the game and authorities allow it to happen, it's rigged as ****

[Ryan91]

Guess we look towards Sunday night then and hope Spain do us a favour against Norway

I've watched that multiple times, and not offside when the ball is played and doesn't impede the keeper. Direct free kick and he didn't attempt to play the ball.

[SteveHFC]

Well I look a right muppet now.

Nope he's still been superb

It's no a favour we've put both in the position they need to win. We'll beat Georgia anyway imo

Scandalous decision

Wish Christian Dailly was kicking about somewhere

not looked at the updated table but spain will need to win that i think so it's not really a favour as such

[OtleyHibs]

Spain the far better team but feel completely cheated

The changing of reason for disallowing our goal makes it look even worse.

No lines drawn, ref sent to monitor, disallowed for offside my arse

[OtleyHibs]

Anyway, bring on Georgia and Norway

Que sera sera...

[Mantis Toboggan]

Fully confident this group of players will get in done in Georgia.

Spains glory days are well past them and the continual cynical fouling makes them impossible to like.

If they win, we qualify.

[Bishop Hibee]

Corrupt. UEFA couldn’t allow a Euros without Spain. Anyway, fully expect us to qualify if we perform like that against Georgia and Norway.

[cabbageandribs1875]

If they win, we qualify.

if they draw we qualify as well




i think :greengrin

[DH1875]

Corrupt. UEFA couldn’t allow a Euros without Spain. Anyway, fully expect us to qualify if we perform like that against Georgia and Norway.

Again, if Spain beat Norway on Sunday then we qualify. No need to wait till Georgia.

[Since90+2]

Does a draw not do us?

[flash]

Strange old night.

Referee absolutely at it right from the start and the offside/foul shenanigans surrounding our disallowed goal.

Rode our luck massively first half then lost a goal when Spain looked like they were running out of ideas.

Then created a couple of massive chances to equalise before losing a Keystone Cops second.

Back three all excellent along with Hickey slip notwithstanding.

Can't remember McGinn or McGregor having worse games for Scotland in recent times.

All in all we simply lost a game we would always expect to lose so no real harm done as Norway won't beat Spain.

[overdrive]

Again, if Spain beat Norway on Sunday then we qualify. No need to wait till Georgia.

If they draw we qualify and we have a better chance of topping the group

We will be through before we play Georgia. Norway wont beat Spain.

There's no way Spain aren't qualifying, in the unlikely event of them not finishing in the top two they are absolute certainties to win their play off
