2024-25 season non-Hibs games thread

[Pagan Hibernia]

the only benefit of a UK league is it would show a wide range of visiting supports how much nicer life is in the ancient European capital of Edinburgh than it is in Hard Brexit Britain

Careful, you'll get a load of people on here soon telling you Edinburgh is a dump.

I've never felt comfortable with the ugly sisters leaving for the English leagues. Not because I have the slightest respect for them as organisations and would miss them, but because I've always felt it would reduce the Scottish league from it's already poor state to the status of the Welsh league. The 3 biggest clubs in Wales don't play in the Welsh league. And as a result the Welsh league is virtually meaningless. Imagine winning it and trying to claim the title of Scottish Champions when the two cheeks arent involved. I find the idea embarrassing to be honest. And yes, things are far from satisfactory as they are, I'm fully aware of that.

An all UK league doesn't really appeal to me either, and league reconstruction leading to a larger division, while it would make things more interesting for the away fan with more places to visit, wouldn't really achieve much else. Allowing more crap teams in isn't going to improve the standard.

Just a rubbish situation all round really, and I don't see a solution

[hibsbollah]

Do they have a bigger budget than most teams in the group stages?

No, but they have a bigger budget than 8 or 9 teams in the competition (brest feyenoord salzburg young boys sturm graz red star the croatians, bratislava, not sure about girona or brugge but possibly them too. Finishing 24th out of 36 is all you need to do to progress.

[Lago]

We really can't. So what hope would we have of winning anything in a far wider league set up? :greengrin
We live in hope:greengrin

[Since90+2]

No, but they have a bigger budget than 8 or 9 teams in the competition (brest feyenoord salzburg young boys sturm graz red star the croatians, bratislava, not sure about girona or brugge but possibly them too. Finishing 24th out of 36 is all you need to do to progress.

Id imagine the difference in finance between most of those teams and Celtic is fairly small. They'll be less of a financial gap between Celtic and Feyenoord compared to Celtic and Dortmund certainly.

[Saint Hibee]

Any team which think they're going to do well in Europe with Liam Scales at the back deserve every humping they get.

[hibee-boys]

They should’ve spent the money which went on Idah, 9 or 10 million😂 on a decent left centre half and left back. Honestly wouldn’t be that excited if we signed Scales/Taylor.

[NAE NOOKIE]

That Celtic back 4 last night was as poor as i've seen from them for a number of years. And the keeper is well past his best too.

Scottish football is sheite, it really is, but it's our sheite and bar them it's quite competative.

Even the huns have come back a bit to the the group below now.

Celtic will still win most of the trophies, but they will never attract real quality that improves them to the next level while playing in Scotland.

I dont know how they get better, and that must be a worry for them, apathy could very well set in with their support. :greengrin

Pretty well this.

The fact is the advent of the 'so called' champion's league has to a large extent caused what was a big disparity in finance to become a massive yawning chasm. Clubs who were already dominant in leagues like ours have now been handed the ability to be utterly dominant. So thanks for that UEFA.

The other fact is that unless some sort of European league is formed we are stuck with Celtic ( and Sevco ) because there is no chance they will ever be accepted into the English system, for the simple fact that there would be no benefit to the already super rich English game. They have a plethora of big clubs sitting outside of the premier league who would not welcome in the slightest competition from two clubs easily capable of competing with them for a place at the top table .... Leeds United, Sheffield United / Wednesday, Sunderland, Norwich City, Derby County, Stoke City etc etc etc ... to them the Uglies would be as welcome as a fart in a spacesuit.

It is what it is. As for me I don't get hung up on the uglies presence. For me the Scottish premiership has 10 teams Hibs compete with and two fixtures where an unlikely point or two is a bonus that gives us an advantage over those clubs.

I've said it before. I would see no shame in the fans of the clubs outside of the uglies getting together and conceiving a 'fans trophy' presented to the non ugly club who finishes highest up the premiership. In a normal sporting environment I could get why folk would baulk at that ..... but in a country where only two clubs have won the top league in 40 years, with that highly unlikely to change any time soon, due to nothing more than a massive financial disparity we have anything but a normal 'sporting' environment.

If nothing else given enough publicity it would make news elsewhere .... Hell, given Paddy Power's propensity for taking the piss ... EG paying out on Celtic before a baw was kicked, I wouldn't put it past them to agree to sponsor the bloody thing :greengrin

[Donegal Hibby]

Any team which think they're going to do well in Europe with Liam Scales at the back deserve every humping they get.

I said it a few times to Celtic fans here about Scales and Taylor … Scales is getting away with it at Celtic because they’re not under the same pressures in our league , when he was at Aberdeen he looked a liability which he was against us a couple of times .

[Bishop Hibee]

The problem is Celtic don’t have much of a challenge back home, the minute they meet a decent football they crumble. Scotland needs a bigger league, a top league of 20 teams. Would make things more interesting as well

Couldn’t disagree more. The gap between Celtc and Dortmund is far less than that between Celtc and Dortmund. Rodgers poor tactics cost them. It’s like Hibs playing Dalkeith thistle then employing the same tactics v Celtc.

Larger league would do nothing to improve the quality of any team.

[Jones28]

Thats the same *****y line the press and Celtic have been using for decades, its our fault they are outclassed in Europe.

Adding 80% of the championship, including such giant slayers as Greenock Morton and Arbroath will do nothing to add to their challenge domestically.

[Paulie Walnuts]

They should’ve spent the money which went on Idah, 9 or 10 million😂 on a decent left centre half and left back. Honestly wouldn’t be that excited if we signed Scales/Taylor.

I think Taylor is decent. Nothing all that exceptional for their level but good enough and would be an excellent signing for us imo.

Scales is ***** though, agree on that front.

[He's here!]

A UK league would see us never play in Europe or win anything ever again. **** that.

We're not exactly prolific winners in a Scottish league. Last won the title 72 years ago...

There seems to be a general consensus that Scottish football is crap and absurdly imbalanced. Continuing to just accept that because an alternative is too much hassle seems defeatist. There's no reason a better resourced club of our size couldn't reach at least Championship level in a UK league. Stacks more attractive games there than Motherwell away.

[Numptie]

Celtic's tactics were to play their ordinary pressing game. This was a game for a measured defence and trying to get something on the break. This is like our attempts to beat Celtic with the press, they have better players and can beat the press, even Dundee beat our press. If Celtic don't realise where they stand in the rankings of European football, this game showed them. They can't just play the Celtic way against the big teams

[K-Zazu]

they bought Arne Engels for a club record £11million fee.

They will continue to invest too but a lack of a proper tactician means they’ll struggle in Europe.

He looked rotten last night.

They still won without him last weekend and the problem is we're without Bowie for most of the season. Even at this stage we'd have to go some to overcome a 13-point gap ie win 5 games and hope they lose 5. With just one win under our belts so far it's probably best just to focus for now on getting another win on the board.

[hibsbollah]

Actually, youre right about Feyenoord, according to Transfermarket they have a squad value of twice celtics, so my bad, my knowledge of dutch football isnt as good as it could be :greengrin

I suppose the key thing is, the new format is perfect for that high 3rd tier or low 2nd tier of european teams to enter the latter stages. The champions of mid level leagues like Scotland, the scandinavan countries, central snd east european champions like Sparta Prague say, as well as the ‘alsorans’ in the french italian and german leagues now have extra spots to fight for. Celtic know this is the year they can make a leap if they dont mess it up.

We'd likely spend most of the time languishing in League 1 and on the occasions where we do successfully make it into the Championship, the novelty of playing sides like Watford and Hull City would wear thin pretty quickly. The games wouldn't carry much stake either. Our away crowds to anywhere south of the North of England would be almost non-existent, as would their crowds to our stadium. Do we really just want to be another Luton Town or Huddersfield town? Increased TV coverage would also cause our home crowds to dwindle over time.

Injecting the imbecilic, nasty poison that is Old Firm rivalry into top tier games is hardly a flavour anyone would want to bring upon themselves. Many English clubs despise The Rangers fans in particular.

The offshoot would eventually be, losing the despensation from FIFA to continue with the 4 home associations having separate national teams.

A UK team would hardly be palatable, for either Scotland or Engerland.

It's all our fault. Lack of any competition (other than the very odd Hun game) means that Celtic can play whatever game they like Sat to Sat. If they lose a goal, they're sure to score 2 or 3. There is ZERO risk in Celtic playing an expansive, attacking game in Scotland.

Take that same game and attitude into Europe against the better sides and they get a glimpse of exactly why smaller, less affluent, Scottish teams go to Celtic Park and park the bus :greengrin. Shed no tears for naive Celtic.

Too many SPL teams in recent seasons (Hibs included) have given Celtic far too much respect. The tactics of standing off them allowing them to pass the ball about is suicide. Their level of player is far superior to any other Scottish club and the only way to play against them is to cut their space and get in their faces.

Needs astute coaching and fit players of course but over 90 minutes clubs like Hibs should be able to be competitive against them.

Borussia did that expertly last night. They forced Celtic into mistake after mistake and of course had top quality players to then pump them.

Getting in their faces just as likely to end in a hiding tbh. Difference in quality is too big.

[HarpOnHibee]

Surely better to risk a 5 or 6-0 with the chance of winning than to play for a conservative 2 or 3-0 defeat? That Celtic defence is nothing special, they just don't get properly tested in the SPFL because teams are too wary of their attacking ability. I reckon just about any team in the league that has a right good go at them will stand a better chance of beating them than simply holding on for dear life at the back.

That's a giant "if" at the end there. It's not just dodgy songs though, is it. A lot of English fans hate their "friendly" visits with a passion.

If anything changes in England it would be some sort of Super League, which would include the OF out.

If it was going to happen it would have happened in the 00s, when money would have been a factor. As it is now, nah.

You're basing this on what? England don't have a Rangers in their top league to deal with and even if they did, they'd likely do nothing to upset the "loyalists" as long as they're only discriminating against the so called "anti-British" types.

I love any chance to laugh at the misfortune of the huns, but an 8pm KO vs St Johnstone on a Sunday is utterly bonkers. 2 hours after the subway closes, just before most Sunday rail services cease…

Another great example of no joined up thinking from the SPFL blazers. I know Sunday is the Great Scottish Run so its a bit of an unusual situation but deary me…

I think once Bayern score they could get 4 or 5.

Indeed.

Can forget about any competitive European games as well which are a target for any half decent Hibs team. I've seen us qualify for Europe with teams which were p*sh. It's a huge benefit for the club and in turn the support as well.

The original poster said last night was the most enjoyable game they'd seen since Hibs won the Scottish cup and the poster quite justifiably asked why.

There isnt a stranger type of Hibs fan than one who claims they enjoyed last night's Celtic defeat more than numerous Hibs wins over the last 8 years including ones over Hearts, Celtic, Rangers, Hampden wins and european victories.

Thanks for suggesting I am a strange kind of Hibs fan, I can assure you I am normal. I do love beating the teams you mention but how does that stop me enjoyjng Celtic getting annihilated. And for your info it was a superb game of attacking football, when did you last see a game like that involving Hibs?

[SaulGoodman]

Martinez is some goalkeeper

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Martinez, the villa keeper is an absolute **** but he's some keeper

[linlithgowhibbie]

You enjoyed that more than us beating Hearts? Really?

For me a spawny 1-0 over St Johnstone would be more enjoyable than watching any Celtic game.

So I am guessing that by your reasoning I am not allowed to enjoy a pulsating exciting match with 8 goals and the added bonus of celtic being pumped more than watching a borefest of Craig Levines non football with Hibs winning 1-0!

After 20 minutes I thought it was only a matter of time before Bayern scored and ran away with the game. Villa's resistance was terrific and they made chances too. Martinez must be up there with the best in the world if not the best, he was outstanding. So pleased for Villa and SJM.

[green day]

Stewart thinks Hearts might get past this stage?

Is he on drugs?

He had one from Belarus. Think they were called MTZ Ripo.

[007]

He’s pushing for Derek McInnes and McGlynn a second choice ……. he’s meant to be co-commentating but he’s just rambling on with a load of keech.

https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/other-football/hearts-next-boss-andrew-mckinlay-30060049

Doesn't sound likely it will be McInnes. McKinlay says it probably won't be someone Scottish and that their list of seven doesn't contain any of the usual names that get mentioned. Also, the sporting director thing, supposedly McInnes prefers not to have one.

An absolute ****ing classroom bore

[green day]

Stewart is a total slaver.

He reckons Baningime did great there, absolute nonsense.

[04Sauzee]

Watching the Spurs game now, couldn't listen to Stewart any longer.

[007]

The cheating, diving bassa on for Hearts.

[flash]

Stewart ripping into Barry McKay while not commenting at all on Shanklands complete lack of effort.

[Jim44]

Dynamo Mince.

[Not In The Know]

Dynamo Mince more like.

10 men behind the ball, I reckon any SPFL team would win this game.

[flash]

Michael Stewart will sleep well tonight as will all the poor buggers he has put in a coma.

[SteveHFC]

Boooo

[green day]

Christ almighty what a dreadful goal to lose.

Dynamo mince

game heartz, minsk are minging


made me a few £ anyway

[HH81]

Dynamo are garbage.

[Not In The Know]

Talk about lucky.

How on earth are Minsk in Europe.

[Pagan Hibernia]

**** sake.

That's another half a million euros in the bank for them. Get in the bin Minsk

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

The luckiest team in the history of Scottish football 😡🖕

[Donegal Hibby]

Dinamo were brutal.. that will be them back to being world beaters again :rolleyes:

[Stuart93]

Wish that big headed **** was sold in the summer

[Bobo]

Seen better games on Leith Links, what a truly horrible club that shower are, hate everything about them.

Their unmerited luck seems never ending!

[JohnM1875]

**** sake.

That's another half a million euros in the bank for them. Get in the bin Minsk

Could easily win two of their home games as well. Wasn't too tough a draw in that aspect.

[cabbageandribs1875]

£335k heartz just earned

[HarpOnHibee]

An own goal and a deflection setting up the 2nd in the final moments of the game. Nothing in it otherwise.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Well at least they've popped their cherry now. I've had the horrifying feeling that their first win of the season was coming at Easter Road

[Jim44]

Derek McIness licking his lips at Ibrox tonight, relishing the thought of taking charge of potential world beaters. :greengrin

[Stairway 2 7]

Can see them beating Petroclub and Omonoia and getting pumped in the rest, 9 could be enough to go to the knockouts

[cabbageandribs1875]

i think the stickies will beat Lyon

[HoboHarry]

Doom merchant. Lyon to at least give us some cheer and thoroughly skelp the Govan w*****s.

[hibee_girl]

You’d think Rangers had been away from Ibrox for 4 years not 4 games the way it’s been mentioned tonight.

[J-C]

Watching Man U game, another manager in desperate need of a win.

[Hibees1973]

Fortunate to get an away game at a neutral venue with no crowd.

But credit to them that they won and pocketed a fair bit of cash.

Just need to look at the profile of some of the clubs in the Europa Conf League and it really is a poor standard and really just a cash making competition.

Wouldn't have minded us being in it though.

[Donegal Hibby]

Hope not ,after listening to Stewart and now getting McCoist we could do with something cheery .

Hopefully about to watch a Rangers result similar to Celtic.

Could be wrong, but if we're going to make the group stages in the next few seasons we’re going to have to play qualifiers. Can't see us finishing 3rd this season and think this season is the last for 3rd dropping into the conference group stages.

Trust us to be ***** domestically the whole time we had a good coefficient.

[hibee-boys]

😂😂😂what a sitter…….then Lyon score, brilliant😂

1-0 United, Rashford.

It is so us.

Third a few seasons back but had to jump through hoops to get to group stage football. Then Ian Gordon goes on his fantasy pet projects and here we are again on the outside looking in.

It's all about timing and taking opportunities.

[Donegal Hibby]

Shocking header back 😡

[MWHIBBIES]

Good win for hearts sadly. They have a chance of qualifying but it's fairly slim.

[hibee-boys]

Looked like Dessers impeded the goal keeper before the goal🤔

2-1 Lyon

Rangers are so poor

[cabbageandribs1875]

£378k for a win in the Europa, £126k for a draw




1-2 ha ha

Great ball by Conor Barron 😂

[Not In The Know]

Could easily win two of their home games as well. Wasn't too tough a draw in that aspect.

at this level of the competition I don’t think hearts could have got an easier game.

[LaMotta]

Maybe the sticky buns will stop with their ridiculous overrating of Connor Barron now.

Yup and our two closest rivals have reaped the rewards twice each if Aberdeen finish third this season.

So frustrating.

i won't be too sad at losing £20 for this one

[J-C]

Man U defence is still rank rotten, 2 up and cruising and then can't stop crosses and poor marking, now 2-2.

[SJNB Hibby]

Can't we get there by winning the cup :aok:

[JohnM1875]

You're spot on, always forget thats its actually the Scottish Cup reward because its usually one of the uglies that win it.

[erin go bragh]

Can't we get there by winning the cup :aok:

Yes winning the cup gets you ahead of the team that finishes 3rd. Wrong and cost us when we finished 3rd but got beat by St Johnstone in the cup final.

[Jim44]

In my best Ally McCoist OBE voice, I would say that Lyon should be 4-1 up ….. they should, they really should. :greengrin

I swear Man Utd seem to get humiliated every other week going back god knows how long, how on earth is ten Haag not gone yet?

3-2 Porto, United are pish, how Ten Hag is still there baffles me.

[HoboHarry]

3-2 Porto. Zero awareness from Bruno Fenandez and played them all onside. ETH will get the blame as usual though.

[He's here!]

Well at least they've popped their cherry now. I've had the horrifying feeling that their first win of the season was coming at Easter Road

Important that they get back to losing ways at Pittodrie to send them into the break on a downer and keep the fans on their backs.

He picks them, trains them and motivates them, it'll always land at the managers feet.

Is there some way of banning Glasgow clubs from European competition? They're doing awful damage to our co-efficient.

I think we all know that, the point is his players get off relatively scot free week on week. The subjects been done to death but they are years behind the top clubs and who will come in and turn this mob into a winning outfit in short order?

They've went the rookie route, the experienced route and the steady Eddie route and nothing has worked, there's something rotten at that club, don't know what but some of these very good players always seem to turn to tripe after a short while, why is the big question. I think it's too many players on overly large wages and little motivation, little connection to the club, one player who was that type of player was McTominay and they sold him for some explicable reason.

[Donegal Hibby]

Only frustrating thing about watching this is it should really be 7 or 8!

[HoboHarry]

Fernandes off again. He's a bam, not fit to be a United captain.
