2024-25 season non-Hibs games thread

[Hiber-nation]

Not often you see decisions like that go against the cream buns!

[Scorrie]

Huns down to 10 men.

Harsh, but hilarious :greengrin

Yep. They’re not used to that with Scottish refs!

[JohnM1875]

VAR can't intervene on a yellow card.

Thought it was a straight red, sorry

[Aldo]

The sort of decision that has went against us against the OF for decades.

Dry yur eyes!

[Green forever]

Never a yellow card or even a foul but couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

[Victor]

That has to get overturned! Shocker of a call

I know he’s a Rangers player….but that is a shocking decision

[Lago]

That has to get overturned! Shocker of a call
Absolutely, a nonsense call, thought Scottish refs were poor but that's ridiculous.

[greenlex]

Never a yellow card or even a foul but couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.
If that boys 20 I’m 95.

[blackpoolhibs]

Thought it was a straight red, sorry

Two red cards at least, dirty hun bassa.

[hibee_girl]

They were moaning about his first yellow. Was his first foul, shouldn’t have been a yellow, surprised to see a card so early on (it was 30 minutes into the game!)

They’re not used to it not going their way.

[Waxy]

Never a yellow card or even a foul but couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

Knew what he was doing. Excellent decision. Euro refs arent picked for nothing

[TrinityHFC]

Never a yellow. Oh well.

[weecounty hibby]

Two red cards at least, dirty hun bassa.

I'm not watching it but I agree with this

[gbhibby]

That has to get overturned! Shocker of a call
A foul nothing else absolute shocker of a decision. Can't believe I am saying that.

[Billy Whizz]

Could be catastrophic for The Rangers if they lose

[Cabbage-Patch]

Do they drop Into Europa if they get beat or is that them out of Europe already?

They do, but worth around £20m less

The amount of play acting in football nowadays is a real turn off.

What game are you watching, it's as clear a straight red as you will ever get, wouldnt suprise me if the ban is extended.

You must be watching a different game he was given a second yellow.

Happy to be corrected!

Don't tell me they get turfed into the Conference then if they're dumped out of the Europa?

Sadly Dynamo Kiev aren't up to much so the stickies aren't out of it yet...

Can't wait for the generic Sevco / Rangers meltdown thread to be back in regular use.

Great finish..

Make that 2-0

They'll try even harder.

What was more embarrassing than the ref’s second yellow & resulting red was Clemente making the motions that the ref should check the VAR screen. Perhaps he thinks that is the rule if any decision goes against The Gers.

Clear sending off, he could have killed him.

In some ways he'll be delighted to have that decision to hide behind because from what I seen it was a poor performance from them in the tie.

Heard him asking Ryan Jack about whether the side (and Dessers in particular) went on nights out to “team bond” more or less implying a good bevvy session builds morale and would improve form. Ryan Jack sounded embarrassed answering him. Even Dodds didn’t bail him out. Aye that’s the solution to everything Derek, a good **** up 😂 he’s a clown 🤡

The problem the hun have got, and our pathetic media, is that they are so used to getting every decision in their favour due to biased and incompetent refs that it blows their tiny minds when in Europe rules are applied properly. That would never have been a sending off in Scotland. Not because he didn't deserve two yellows but simply because he plays for the hun.

We `ve lost to St J many times in last decade and before but don`t remember a 0 v 3 at ER . Also Killie have advantage of artificial pitch . Also many of high finishes were without Rangers ( and us ) .

Without us because we weren't even good enough to be in the top flight.

The attempts on here to brush off McInnes's achievements are bewildering. He's clearly a fine manager and if we'd made a move for him when he left Aberdeen we'd have been spared the garbage we've been subjected to in recent years.

[IberianHibernian]

Ron did that.All been discussed to death here but decision to get rid of Ross just before LC final is / was rightly questioned but I think decision to appoint Maloney was a brave decision and I think he should have been given more time . Problem with Gordon regime has not been so much making mistaken decisions but deciding something then making kneejerk decisions instead of carrying through ideas . In case of managerial and other decisions in 2022 , Ron`s health may have been a major factor .

It was a god awful decision. A rookie manager mid season after an excellent season the year before. Those decisions took us back years.

[007]

We have and it has!! This place is in constant meltdown. But yeah, let’s forget decades of top 2,3,4 finishes. The comparisons are hilarious

3rd when you're the team with the 2nd biggest budget and 4th when you've the 3rd biggest budget isn't that great. When he was Aberdeen manager his league placing was worse than budget more often than it was better.

It's what Ian Gordon & Ben Kensell do.

Its the most consistent a team outside the old firm has been since the 80s I'd imagine. Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen finish bottom 6 with big budgets all the time.

Almost as bewildering as the attempts to make them seem better than they were.

His achievements as a manager in Scotland are excellent full stop. There's no requirement to make them seem better as they speak for themselves. We'd kill for Hibs to have that kind of record.

What does that say about our two eighth place finishes in three seasons?

[IberianHibernian]

We'd kill for Hibs to have that kind of record.No we wouldn`t because as already said here , high league positions were distorted by years without Rangers and us , his record in both cups was poor and his teams have a reputation for unentertaining football . He failed in England and doesn`t seem to have done well enough with Aberdeen or Killie to have been given a second chance there . Maybe a good fit for Hearts next manager ?

Finishing behind Motherwell when he had a much bigger budget, us and Hearts were getting relegated and Rangers were in League 1 wasn't excellent.

Finishing 2nd when Rangers, Hearts and Hibs were in the Championship so his biggest challengers were Inverness and St Johnstone wasn't excellent.

Finishing 2nd when Rangers and us were still down and Aberdeen's budget was considerably bigger than Hearts' wasn't excellent.

Finishing 2nd, above Ian Cathro's Hearts and Pedro Caixinha's Rangers = Good (I suppose).

Fishing 2nd the year they, us and Rangers were battling out 2nd-4th = Good.

4th 3 times in a row when he had the 3rd biggest budget = not excellent.

He couldn't have got the Aberdeen job at a better time. Rangers in the lower leagues, us and Hearts getting relegated. Aberdeen's budget miles ahead of the rest and numerous transfer windows to build a team while Rangers us and Hearts were nowhere near where they should have been.

Underselling if ever I’ve seen it. They finished above the best Hibs side I’ve seen under Lennon.

Let me ask you this, in the years we were in the championship, switch the 2 clubs around, do you honestly think we’d have been as consistent as his Aberdeen team were? Now we’ll never know for sure but history suggests we wouldn’t have. He achieved everything expected of him during his time at Aberdeen which is further backed up by the length of time he was manager. How many times have Hibs achieved what is expected of them? In my 30 years following them it hasn’t been many

Yes, switch the clubs around. Give Hibs the budget Aberdeen had and have Hearts, Aberdeen and Rangers in the league below and Hibs could well have finished 2nd, never mind 3rd behind Motherwell like McInnes did.

You are comparing Aberdeen with the 2nd biggest budget in the league for 3 years and the 3rd biggest for 5 with Hibs and the 5th biggest budget so it is hardly a surprise McInnes' Aberdeen record seems good.

I'm not denying we usually underperform and I'm not saying McInnes is a poor manager, just not as good as he gets made out to be on here. He couldn't have got the Aberdeen job at a better time. Rangers in the lower leagues, us and Hearts getting relegated.

If, then, maybe, perhaps, but.

[blackpoolhibs]

Why would we want Derek McInnes as Hibs manager when we could get Maloney, Montgomery and Johnson, I mean they blow him out the water with their achievements. Why would we want us punching our weight more often than not, when we could be in the championship or bottom 6?

They took gambles, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Thats football. McInnes is a steady manager, you know what you are getting, probably a top half finish, maybe sneak 4, aint winning a cup, as can be seen by his record, and his football isnt particularly nice to watch. There is a reason that no one hired him after such an apparently fantastic time at Aberdeen? He had to drop to the championshio and take the Killie job?

This is why football fans are never happy. That’s clearly the record of a manager that’s done his job really well. Still seen as not good enough.

Surely a Hibs fan can see the merit in achieving a finish there or thereabouts where the level of budget should have them. We’ve had countless seasons (more often than not probably)where we’ve come well below where we should based on budget level.

At non old firm level in Scotland, budget level has never been anything like a guarantee of relative success.

If only we could meet or exceed expectations near enough every season. Although that would absolutely not be excellent at all now, would it.

[Northernhibee]

There is absolutely no chance McInnes leaves a club that he’s got on the verge of European group stages for a club that has twice in three seasons twice sacked a manager in the same season. Or has people who don’t know what they’re doing signing absolute no hopers because their stats are good.

We may as well debate why we’ve not signed Haaland.

Of the four cup finals he reached with Aberdeen three were against Celtic so hardly a stick to beat him with.

I'd be delighted to 'know what I'm getting' with a manager if it meant consistent 2nd, 3rd and 4th place finishes, a level of consistency Hibs haven't managed for 50 years. Bearing in mind Hibs have been churning out some of the worst football I've ever watched them play in recent years I think I could also live quite comfortably with McInnes's supposedly 'unattractive' style.

We dont keep a manager long enough for that to happen, although give it time.

And you know fine well the circumstances why he kept Killie up, then got a team with half our resources into Europe.

I dream of a manager who has Hibs punching its weight, but no you want some mythical manager who's going to have us playing like Brazil, finishing 1st as 2nd is not good enough because some sheite teams were not in the league at the time, and all done with a punt from a manager who's done absolutely nothing to date but ticks a few boxes.

The consistency is what is impressive. Pretty much an unprecedented run in recent decades you've described there for a non-OF team and still running it down :greengrin He also re-built teams during that time after losing players. I would love for us to have a manager that can stay for 5-6 years building something like that. And there he has gone in and done an excellent job at Killi.

There are no guarantees that budget means this is where you should finish. You have to go and do it. And still my number one choice all day long for the last 3/4 appointments. He had our number tactically so much during a period, dirty yes but in the end you can't fail to be impressed really.

I see his Aberdeen side amassed 70+ points, 4 seasons in a row when achieving 2nd which again just shows how impressive the consistency was. Not really sure how this is even a debate to be honest. Not saying he’s Pep Guardiola but in Scottish football very few have achieved what he has

Ajax beat Panathinaikos 13-12 on penalties after an epic shootout featuring 34 spot-kicks to reach the Europa League qualifying play-off round.
Goalkeeper Remko Pasveer, 40, saved five penalties and scored one, while defender Anton Gaaei scored the winning kick for Ajax.
The Dutch side won despite the Netherlands striker Brian Brobbey missing two spot-kicks, with Bertrand Traore and Youri Baas also off target.
Manager Francesco Farioli said the shootout, which lasted 25 minutes in total, was "incredible".

It is the second-biggest penalty shootout score in a European competition, narrowly behind Glentoran's 14-13 defeat by Gzira United (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66260997) in Conference League qualifying last season.
