2024-25 season non-Hibs games thread

[The Modfather]

What a performance that was last night, a thoroughly deserved win. What a difference it’s made Doak coming through. If only we had a similar striker coming through. Hopefully Rory Wilson at Villa (former Rangers prodigy) is the next answer to a question we’ve long been asking.

[Tambo]

Junior Hoilett won an international reprieve with Canada – and scored on his return against Suriname.

The Hibs star had missed his country’s last nine games after missing out on the Copa America squad and then failing to be called up for the three friendlies since.

But his individual form at Easter Road has been fairly good, even if the same can’t be said for the team.

And that saw Hoilett called up for the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final against the Surinamese, who proved to be plucky opponents.

But the Hibees star popped up with a first leg winner after climbing off the bench for the final 12 minutes.

He is a very well respected member of the Canada squad and manager Jesse Marsch has been delighted that he instantly brought his personality back to the place after being away for so long.

Was reading about him the other day. Out of contract next summer and not signing a new deal as wants to play first team football. Villa threatening to freeze him out and make him train alone.

If he’s as highly rated as we all hope, and it appears he might well be the real deal, hope he goes to someone like Dortmund with a pedigree for developing elite talent.

Miller starts but Boyle on the bench for Australia for tonight’s game

[He's here!]

Hopefully this is the last international break for a good while? Sure, Hibs have been c**p but the horribly stop-start nature of the season is doing nothing to help.

I don't get the point of the Nations League, plus having Boyle and Miller flying around the world so regularly isn't great. Bowie getting crocked on Scotland duty also still rankles.

Can't we just go back to the odd international friendly along with the qualifying groups for the WC and Euros?

No wonder his form has been absolutely dreadful. Watch him come off the bench and score though

[Cabbage-Patch]

if Czech beat Georgia we will be pot 3

My understanding is that if Georgia take any points off the Czechs or Estonia take anything off Slovakia we are pot 2. Georgia more than capable of taking points off the Czechs. If they win tonight they finish top of thier group and go up to league A. Fingers firmly crossed

The nations league is ‘supposed’ to replace friendlies for the most part, giving teams almost constant competitive matches, with the only friendlies being in the run up to major tournaments to allow national teams to get used to playing with one another.


What that doesn’t factor in, is when do you give fringe or up and coming players a chance, when you’re always playing competitive matches that are either qualifiers for major tournaments or nations league relegation/promotion matches

[Forza Fred]

Half time 1-0 Oz courtesy of a goal in 38 seconds by Yengi.

Miller very much involved in general play and looking assured.

[gbhibby]

There's also the goalkeeper question, Gordon can't go on forever.

With the injuries he has probably been out of the game for 5 years. Could potentially have another 3 years in him.

[Pytheas]

Miller having a great game for Oz. Was decent in their last game too, right wing back in a back 5.

Definitely his best (only) position.

The size of their country you would suspect. That was a once-in-a-millennium team they had.

[SteveHFC]

So it will be one of Ukraine, Turkey, Austria or Greece.

[crash]

Slovakia and Czech both won, so I think that means pot 3 for Scotland in the WC draw.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Albania 1 Ukraine 2
Czech Republic 2 Georgia 1
Slovakia 1 Estonia 0
Sweden 6 Azerbaijan 0
Malta 0 Andorra 0
Bosnia 1 Netherlands 1
Hungary 1 Germany 1,,,,,,,,, well worth cashing out before Hungary equalised on 90+9 :)
Montenegro 3 Turkey 1
Wales 4 Iceland 1

Wales automatically promoted to the A league

[Paul1642]

So it will be one of Ukraine, Turkey, Austria or Greece.

None are particularly easy, however neither of them games would be harder than the 3 we just took 7 points from.

Not sure who my preference is really.

Greece took England to joint points while the other 3 came second best to teams I feel we are at least equal to. Turkey give me the fear slightly though.

I would probably close Ukraine.

[HibbyAndy]

Slovakia and Czech both won, so I think that means pot 3 for Scotland in the WC draw.

I know f all about this so apologies

Groups are drawn in a few weeks so it would be irrelevant.

I did however just read that some World Cup qualifier groups will have winners of ties rather than set teams due to nations leave fixtures. I couldn’t my head around it though.

“ But wait ... Depending on how many teams need to play promotion and relegation playoffs, FIFA may have to juggle the pots slightly. For instance, if there are too many teams in Pot 3 who need to have March free, then a swap with Pot 2 or 4 might be needed. That's probably an issue for another day...

One more complication? As the UNL quarterfinals don't take place until March, eight of the 12 World Cup groups won't know their full lineup until then. Four of the groups with four teams will get "winners of quarterfinal tie," as they must be free for March and June. Four others get "losers of quarterfinal tie." Only four groups will be complete as of Dec. 13.”

I thought I read somewhere that the 4 best performing teams from Nations League that haven't auto qualified for WC join the euro play offs in March 26

Yes, you are correct. I'll delete my post as factually incorrect. :greengrin

From the BBC:

Does Nations League affect World Cup qualifying?

Four teams will qualify for a play-off to reach the World Cup via the Nations League.

They are the four best-ranked group winners who do not go on to finish in the top two of their World Cup qualifying group next year.

With teams in the top Nations League division highly likely to qualify for the World Cup through European qualifying - and many teams in the second tier too - it gives an extra incentive for teams across Leagues B and C.

By finishing top of Group B2, England are extremely likely to have a World Cup play-off spot banked, with the same situation facing Group B4 winners Wales.

Northern Ireland top C3, which gives them at least a chance, but Scotland are not in the running to get a play-off spot through the Nations League.

The four teams who get into the play-offs via the Nations League will be put in with the 12 teams who finish second in their World Cup qualifying groups - with four spots for 2026 up for grabs.

Seedings for the World Cup qualifying groups will largely be decided by Fifa world rankings - and not Nations League finishes.

The exception is that the top seeds will be drawn out of the teams who finish in the top two of each League A group - plus the four top countries by world rankings.

England's world ranking of fourth, third in Europe, means they are highly likely to be top seeds despite not having been in League A.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

So to summarise, we might be better of with relegation from League A? Win our B league then go in to a play off?

[SHODAN]

I have a nagging suspicion that UEFA decide whether to use rankings or Nations League placements for World Cup seeding entirely by whether sufficient numbers of "big" teams are in League A or not.

Czech Republic, Ukraine, England, Greece, Haaland (Norway), Sweden in League B or below? Scotland, Hungary, Bosnia in League A? Yeah let's do world rankings this year.

[SHODAN]

So to summarise, we might be better of with relegation from League A? Win our B league then go in to a play off?

Pretty sure League A teams get put into some of the lower playoffs if enough teams qualify automatically, so we'd still be virtually guaranteed one.

[Paul1642]

We're extremely unfortunate to end up Pot 3 looking at those list of teams. Groups of 4 and 2nd place only gets a playoff.

I can’t quite understand how we’ve ended up there to be honest. How does participating in Euro 2024 (albeit poorly) and being in nations league pot A (coming 3rd with the most points out of any 3rd placed team) end up with us being in a pot with the likes of Montenegro, Finland and Iceland whilst teams that didn’t make it to the euros and participated in lower levels of the Nations league than us slot in to pot 2? 🤷🏻*♂️

I’d certainly say that we are the pot 3 team that everybody will want to avoid and there are still favourable draws to be had with a bit of luck but it’s a big blow unfortunately. The fact that we were 1 Portugal goal away from pot A is pretty frustrating.

Should be an interesting challenge to see where Scotland are at against a team we've not played much. Greece were good in beating England at Wembley - something we've not done for a long time.

How it works in to the qualification path for the World Cup becomes a bit on the complicated but the Nations League has been a massive improvement on meaningless friendlies. Hampden was sold out for all three group games and will be sold out for the Greece game.

This tie decides whether we stay in the top section or are relegated to the second section. If we’d finished second in our section we’d have been top seeds for the World Cup draw so the games come with a lot of importance.

Queens Park v Falkirk is a good watch. Both teams wouldn’t be out of place in the Premiership and Falkirk in particular are decent. They pass it around quickly, press high up the pitch and are very comfortable on the ball. McGlynn has got them playing with confidence and I wouldn’t fancy us drawing them in the cup.

Seen him play England in the Victory Shield at Starks Park.

He was the best player on the park, surprised at the low level he’s played at.

Just goes to show how difficult it is to properly make.

Glad to see he’s showing up well at Falkirk and hopefully he makes an impact in the Prem next season.

Falkirk remind me of us in the Championship under Stubbs. Lovely football but not scoring as many goals as their overall play deserves.

McGlynn and Smudger have done an incredible job there.

He’s 29 years old and has played a fair chunk of his career at that level. It was his spell with us that was a step down and I think his failure to stand out here was probably more reflective of our recent troubles rather than his own ability.

Stays like that and a win tonight only takes us to 11th if Celtic beat Hearts.

Depressing

Not as depressing as losing. We're in real danger of being cut adrift right now.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Looked like a hard and fair challenge. Got the ball cleanly. Ridiculous decision imo.


even after half a dozen replays i thought his studs were just up a tad

[Hibees1973]

League table looking horrific at present.

Defeat tonight and surely the illustrious Golden Quadrant cannot continue sticking their heads in the sand.

[cabbageandribs1875]

wow 2-0 Ross co

Tangerines winning in orangeville 1-0

Var taking an age to try and get goal against Rangers judged offside

[HarpOnHibee]

They were, but you don't want to see players sent off for a well timed tackle like that. The state of the pitch won't be making things easy either.

[Joe6-2]

Huns losing

[Hibby70]

Draw the line at which point he's offside, then see if the ball can be shown to be still at the passers feet

[NC1875]

Not as depressing as losing. We're in real danger of being cut adrift right now.

Win or lose tonight, We’re in serious trouble.

The golden shower know better though.

[Hibby70]

If utd score again the Huns go down to 4th.

[Jock O]

Looking at it positively the results are going the right way for us to go on an unbeaten run and challenge for 3rd.......

[HarpOnHibee]

Pretty much the worst combination of results for us if things remain the same.

[overdrive]

It didn’t even look close. Clancy trying to find any reason possible not to give it.

We are, teams we expected to lose games are not cooperating by winning, anyone expecting Hibs to move up the table are in for a shock.

[cabbageandribs1875]

lol Ross co scorer Hale still holding his cheek whilst talking to the referee 2 mins after the motherwell player did seem to knock him over in the box, but i don't think holding his cheek for that long will convince VAR, poor stuff really, i don't think he was even touched near that area


2-1

i don't know why VAR is taking so long, he wasn't offside

so after a 3 hour wait for VAR it's given

[Hibees1973]

The more I watch Robinson’s teams, the more I like them. Basic but effective. Pace, energy, everyone knows their job.

Correct.

Gets as much out of his players as he can.

All our managers after Ross got the minimum out of the players they had.

VAR in every game up here takes a age, so much for quick calls and all that

[Jock O]

I did say looking positively, not realistically. And it was before I seen team.

[cabbageandribs1875]

VAR in every game up here takes a age, so much for quick calls and all that


when the ball comes into the box the motherwell scorer goes towards it and is faster than the ross co defender the only other thing i could see was his arm was flailing behind him but it's not as though he's pushing the defender away. the first replay showed he was onside as well

[wookie70]

That should have been 2-0 for Dundee Utd

[cabbageandribs1875]

1-1 st mirren

Oh I agree. Just pointing out how truly awful our season has been that we're already so far adrift of the top half let alone a European spot.

There was rumours of Pep maybe leaving after this season, I wonder if these last few results see him make his mind up, they're not as invincible as they used to be, similar happened at Barca when they started to lose games in his final season.

Stay humble Haaland :aok:

Don't think anyone noticed we lost 4 to Dundee.

Thing is the yams will pick up more points than us until end of season. Can't even see us getting 11th.

It’s pretty much a case of damage limitation when playing them home or away now unfortunately .

True but at home against the worst team in the league it could be seriously embarrassing.

[Tambo]

Just watching MOTD, two great goals yesterday from Matheus Cunha, second one is probably a better strike but first one is worth checking out.

[easty]

Lallana late, catching the guy on the ankle there, no much between that and Obita last night. Yellow card for this one though.

Anyway, English football seems to allow much more physicality than we do and our officials generally make it up game to game

If they like playing that way, we have a squad full of players available who are experts. A few million each?

Very similar to our own

van Dijk channeling his inner Rocky Bushiri bringing the ball out the back there. Loses it and now it's a pen to Southampton.

Looks like its out the box though.

Suspect call from the ref. Took an age to give a pen. It’s def outside the box

Edit: wow a pen given

[easty]

I cannae understand that at all. That's a freekick not a penalty.

[CapitalGreen]

Robertson’s foot was on the line and the contact was between the calves of each player so was closer to goal line still which would make it in the box.

[CallumLaidlaw]

I cannae understand that at all. That's a freekick not a penalty.

The contact is up at Robertsons knee which is on the line for me.

Yup, the fact the feet were on the line and the actual contact was closer to goal makes it beyond doubt for me.
