2024-25 season non-Hibs games thread

[Lago]

Making very hard work of it. These European nights are definitely making things difficult for them.
Cracking goal.

[Lago]

And at the end of the weekends activities we have Hearts bottom of the league and Hibs 3rd bottom, not wanting to be overly negative but that is a shocking situation for the 2 city clubs.

[Donegal Hibby]

Has to be a red card for that

[Hiber-nation]

Should be a 10 game ban. Scandalous challenge.

[Coco Bryce]

Dirty *******!

[Donegal Hibby]

That’s as bad a tackle I’ve seen this season.

[cabbageandribs1875]

ooh st johnstone playing in that ghastly mar*on strip again

Should drums be banned from football grounds?

Should drums be banned from football grounds?

Yes!

[Donegal Hibby]

Yes!

Was wondering if it was just me but find them annoying as f***.

We rarely have such a manager. It seems that when we bring a manager in, they're instructed on the "Hibs way" of how the team needs to play, rather than being left to implement their own way. As long as we're locked into the same style as a club, we'll ultimately keep getting the same kind of results. The game has moved on over time and we need to move on with it.
I think the “Hibs way” of playing is something that only exists in the minds of some fans. I’d highly doubt any new manager is briefed on this myth - or instructed to play in any specific way.

Who on earth would be instructing this? Zero chance this happens. Hibs have played free flowing football in about 4 of the last 50 years. Hibs style doesn't exist.

Naw, and vuvuzelas should be encouraged as accompaniments. They'd pair well with all of the trumpets in the stands...

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Whatever they're doing, it's effective and it gets results. Where as we carry this myth that our "brand" of football is the right way to play and we're just really really unlucky. When in reality, our brand of football doesn't deliver results and isn't even good to watch in the modern game. There is such a thing as trying to do too much on the ball and sometimes less is more, something that as a club we need to come to terms with.

Did Mixu. It try to make us hard to beat but ultimately failed in that an entertainment so was given the heave. Maloney on the opposite side of the spectrum…

I think as a support we’ve become even more fickle. I’d draw some parallels to an extent with Aberdeen’s tussle with previous history being out of synch with current performance and expectations so the managerial door revolves/

[green day]

You’d hope so but really it lies with the player and whether they want it or not

[He's here!]

I think the “Hibs way” of playing is something that only exists in the minds of some fans. I’d highly doubt any new manager is briefed on this myth - or instructed to play in any specific way.

The 'Hibs way' just happens to coincide with those all-too rare periods when we have a team full of highly talented, attack-minded players eg the Famous Five, the Tornadoes, the spell under Miller when we had McAllister and O'Neill, the Sauzee/Latapy era, Mowbray's young guns etc.

Otherwise we're mostly just the same as any other club, trying to get a winning team on the park. It's not the manager's job to play 'the Hibs way' or even to entertain. As Bobby Williamson said 'if you want entertainment go to the cinema', which echoed Alan Durban's 'if you want entertainment go and watch clowns' from about 20 years previously.

Gray's job is to get results and not particularly care how they're achieved. If he can do that consistently then he can start to think about extras like entertainment. It beggars belief that there are still some who would rather NOT have the success rate a manager like Derek McInnes brought to Aberdeen because they claim not to have liked the style of football. Especially as evidence of freeflowing 'Hibs way' type football at ER has been all but non-existent for years now.

The thing about it though as much as football is about results it’s also about fans going or watching games to enjoy a good game of football which is entertainment, no? .

If you asked me what two Hibs players I most enjoy watching when on their game it would have to be Boyle and Youan … there’s a reason why it’s them and that’s because they are entertaining!.

McInnes record while good repeatedly comes up by a minority on here like yourself though there was circumstances that helped him achieve it at time that we won’t see probably happening again…

It’s not just Hibs fans like myself that have said they don’t like his style of football but Aberdeen and Killie ones too and probably a reason he hasn’t got any offers from a championship club in England and why both Edinburgh clubs and Aberdeen didn’t move or him too …

Under a manager that’s teams play like McInnes it would be fine when things are going well though once they start not too that’s when he’d come under more criticism than most at our club . Hell , we seen it with Jack Ross and even today I answered another poster who referred to our football as ‘ rank rotten’ and ‘ turgid stuff’ under Gray which is why McInnes would be a recipe for disaster at Hibs though I do think some of you idolise the guy and his name will get mentioned tomorrow and the next , the day after that etc etc ..

It'd much better to play sheite and lose than to play sheite and win. You are starting to believe your own lies about how bad Aberdeen were, when the stats say different.

So should we ignore that Killie have scored 50% more goals than we have?

[Donegal Hibby]

He doesn’t always win playing Sheite though as it wasn’t that long ago the Killie fans were calling for him to go !!!…. You say I’m lying BH though that’s simply not correct is it and I think you know that as Aberdeen were on bad run before they sacked him , he had one at Bristol City and two at Killie now .

All managers have bad runs and McInnes would be no different in that respect if he was at Hibs as manager which is why it would end up like a Jack Ross situation again… been through is Aberdeen stats over and over again without Hibs , hertz and rangers in the league too .

[Donegal Hibby]

We’ve scored 6. Killie have scored 9.

I think we could live with a manager who goes on his bad run after eight successive top four finishes...

Not appointing a manager because he'll go on a bad run at some point effectively rules all managers out of contention for any job.

In my lifetime (44 years) Hibs have managed consecutive top 4 finishes only once (2004/5 and 2005/6).

A thoroughly embarrassing stat.

Yet we don't think someone who managed it 8 years on the trot is the right candidate?

I just can't comprehend the mindset behind such a stance.

I don't think that really is the mindset. I get the impression that it's more about the fact Rangers were one of the numerous clubs McInnes played for. Based on that Alex Ferguson would not have been the right man for the job either.

[Donegal Hibby]

We’ve scored 6. Killie have scored 9.

3 of which came in the last game against Dundee who were reduced to 10 men . Over the last two seasons we have scored more .. Killie 37 , Hibs 57 . Even when they were going well and we weren’t we outscored them in Killie 46 , Hibs 52 .

We haven’t been living with mangers on a bad run is the facts of it though… Ross , Maloney , LJ , Monty .

Are you the sort of person who'd downplay Leicester winning the league as "it's only cos the rest of the teams were rubbish that year"?

Any chance we can take this elsewhere. It's not as if there aren't multiple threads about Hibs out there.

Yes, you'd think the "non-Hibs games" text would be a clue that this thread isn't about Hibs.

Hibs.net has become extremely depressing reading with the same posters having the same arguments across multiple threads.

****ing hell. Now McInnes’ teams don’t score goals in the right fixtures. It was against Dundee, so there should be a caveat to the fact they’ve scored 9 :faf:

[Donegal Hibby]

No but realistic enough to know that if Leicester City reappointed Claudio Ranieri that they wouldn’t win the league again.. which is what a few hardened admirers of McInnes is suggesting he’d do with us which wouldn’t happen either as they were extraordinary times in 3 of the top 6 teams weren’t in it and one of the old firm wasn’t the team they were in the past … it’s all fantasy prediction stuff IMO .

I dont think any manager would have us 2nd ahead of the huns, no idea where you get that idea from?

There is a manager out there who has though, and let me tell you it's not Sean Maloney, Lee Johnson, Monty, Jack Ross or David Gray, in fact only one person who's managing in Scotland, but you wouldnt have him because he's a hun.

Oh, wait. Hibs weren't in the league for those seasons. It doesn't count :wink:

[B.H.F.C]

England have looked decidingly average tonight. For all that talent in the team they rarely seem to play well as a cohesive unit

Playing without a recognised striker and one central midfield player with the rest of them just running about wherever they fancy is an interesting way of setting up.

England can lose at home to Greece in League B. And lose all their other Nations league games. Get relegated to League C

Doesn't matter.

They'll still be pot 1 in the draw for World Cup Qualifying on Friday 13th December

Scotland however, if we lose all our League A Nations league matches, will be punished by dropping to pot 3 for the World Cup Qualifying draw

As an extra kick in the chuckies - in order to be in pot 2 and not pot 3, guess one of the nations we need to finish above in the FIFA World Rankings and therefore we really could have done without them winning 2-1 at Wembley?

Yup.

Lewis scored a critical goal on the weekend against China and supplies the ball into the box for tonight’s goal.

[Jim44]

I can’t stand the Portuguese prima Donna. I respect his place in football but his general demeanor and behaviour pisses me off. For example, just there, while in possession, he was being closely hampered by a Scottish player and probably being fouled. But instead of waiting for the ref to blow, he just stopped in his tracks and gave himself a foul. Twat.

Adams is like a man down. We're showing Portugal far too much respect. Theydon;t have the killer punch of the top nations and when we press them high, they start to panic. Scotland need to press them, even if that means we lose shape a little.

Great player but he is an utter bellend.

Complete lack of class from R7 at the end. His team had 94 mins to win the game but Gordon made 1 or maybe 2 saves the whole match. Scotland didn't waste time or playact. Classless, petulence from a man who has benefitted hugely from the game of football.

As for Scotland, I don't get or share the euphoria of a 85 mins backs-to-wall Hampden scoreless draw agains a technically brilliant but obviously getable Portuagal. If this what we have to forced to put the whole football calendar on hold for, you can stuff it.

Back home from Hampden. Enjoyable for a 0-0. Scotland defended well and had some decent chances. Rose their luck with a couple of Portuguese chances too. Got the luck that deserted us in the last few games. We’ve shown we’re not far off Poland and Croatia so hopefully we can get a win from either of those two at least.

[lugz]

My first scotland game in years and my daughters very first. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thought we played some good stuff at times and on another day got a goal or 2. Can see how we're trying to play although the passing out from the back was giving me palpitations.

[B.H.F.C]

I thought we did well tonight when you consider the quality of the opposition. We were missing some good players as well. I just really wish we could find a player who could really make a difference at the top end of the park.

Agreed. That was a decent performance against top quality players. The talent on the their bench was scary and bringing on their last sub who cost 50m, kind of puts the result into perspective, as did our performance against them in Portugal.

Our problem is a lack of quality up front. Doak will improve and help through time but we need to develop a decent CF who will score goals regularly at international level. The Manager screwed up at the Euros by being too cautious, but there's glimpses he's recognised his error by playing Doak from the start and being offensive and creating chances in the last 3 games against decent opposition.

What is it that Portugal are doing to bring through the quality players that they have, they only have a population of 10m?

I know the climate helps, but we are so far behind them quality wise its frightening.

Rangers interim chairman John Gilligan says the "use of pyrotechnics must stop" after the club were fined twice by Uefa.

A fine of approximately £11,500 for flares at the recent Europa League defeat at home by Lyon followed a penalty approaching £15,900 for a similar incident in the earlier fixture away to Malmo, which Rangers won.

Gilligan said, external (https://www.rangers.co.uk/Article/chairmans-update/1Tq8zMGdkolpAAB2CUmZKP) of the 4-1 loss to Lyon: "The biggest disappointment of that evening, however, was the actions of a small minority of supporters, whose use of pyrotechnics at the match has seen the club fined €13,750 by Uefa. This is in addition to a €19,000 fine for a similar incident in the match with Malmo.

"My message is the use of pyrotechnics must stop and stop now at all of our matches home and away.

As far as racism goes, they think they are. There's some pretty high profile activity about prevention, before the event but when it actually occurs I'm not convinced the punishment always fits the crime.

Because they don't buy into this "work in progress" gash that we continue to swallow season after season. A club making competent decisions can change it's fortunes within a season at this level.
