2024-25 season non-Hibs games thread

[J-C]

So Georgia a country with just over 4M qualify after beating Portugal, yet we lumber along and get knocked out too easily once again.

[SlickShoes]

And there you go. Little Georgia, full of energy and belief have qualified while Negative Norman's lads are home already.

Amazing what having a world class forward can do for a team.

[Lago]

Georgia have fully deserved that. A real sleeves rolled up performance. Outstanding hit on the break football
Terrific they really played for their country well deserved.

[Saint Hibee]

Gary Neville acknowledging that England have a track record of lucky draws.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

England are winning it. In Germany. Nightmare

[Gordy M]

So we should copy a team who were 9 points behind us in qualifying? They got lucky with a nations league qualification........or thats what Scotlands qualification was called at the time.

[K-Zazu]

Well done Georgia. Ronaldo is a tosser, the way he acts is embarrassing.

[SHODAN]

At least Hungary are out too. Nae luck lads. :aok:

[ruthven_raiders]

Excluding Italy, England have a piss easy route to the final yet again. Slovakia, Italy and one of Romania, Austria, Turkey or Slovenia.

Bet Switzerland knock out Italy too.

Not sure England can be confident of beating any of these.teams, Switzerland or Austria are tough to beat....

Their attitude has been spot on in these games, no negativity just having a real go, we were slow and ponderous and deserved nothing.

Slovakia, Slovenia,Georgia and Denmark all with similar or smaller populations than us qualified for last 16 we’re needing a review into the running of the game here this small nation thing doesn’t fly anymore

Yeh im not disagreeing, but we qualified way ahead of them and had a couple bad games in a tournament. It happens. They played a 2nd string Portugal who already qualified, got a ridiculous penalty, and manged to win. Fair play to them, but thats tournament football.

[Stairway 2 7]

Did Georgia and Norway have a review when we qualified from the groups and they didn't. It was all about the tactics in the finals, Georgia went for it we certainly didn't. Then again we were a terrible refereeing decision away from a penalty and beating hungry and drawing with Switzerland. Dykes and Hickey were also huge losses for us

[Gordy M]

Slovakia, Slovenia,Georgia and Denmark all with similar or smaller populations than us qualified for last 16 we’re needing a review into the running of the game here this small nation thing doesn’t fly anymore

What about Poland Croatia Hungary etc with bigger populations, or Sweden or Norway who didnt even qualify.......dont see anyone making that excuse???

Our record in the run up to the tournament was poor and that continued into the tournament, it wasn't just 2 bad games.

[Gordy M]

Norway's got a smaller population than Scotland.

Yep never said they did, but they didnt qualify, are they now reveiwing everything and hoping to copy Scotlands model? Is that how it works?

[CropleyWasGod]

Norway's got a smaller population than Scotland.

Last census had Norway 5.5m, Scotland 5.4m.

[Gordy M]

Stick up Steve Clarkes competitive record, see how that reads. He already said that he took some really tough friendlies in the run up to the Euros.....now thats getting used against him

[GreenCastle]

Can folk not just accept Scotland were totally pish at the tournament and if we want to progress to the groups we need to have a better mentality and that means wanting to win games. Not have the fear of losing / giving up a goal.

We also need to develop better players to play at a higher level. SPL players aren’t going to cut it.

[Gordy M]

If it gets us to the knockout stages, playing exciting football... Yes. No brainer.

You could see England lumbering to an agonising penalty shoot out defeat against any of these teams.

You could also see them doing what they need to do all the way to the final then their big players turning it on when they get there.

An unpredictable bunch.

Surely we should try to learn from countries with similar limitations that are performing better than we've ever done.

We were terrible in the 2 games we lost. I think the tanking we got in the first game really put us on the back foot. Clarkes tactics were the same at Killie as they are at Scotland, they havent changed, try and keep it tight, keep the ball and then try and take chances that come our way. It didnt work, we were prob a bad decision away from qualifying though. Its such small margins. I genuinely think had be not been spanked of Germany we would have been a bit more expansive. Just my opinion.

[He's here!]

At least Hungary are out too. Nae luck lads. :aok:

At least they gave their fans a win in the tournament.

[One Day Soon]

Italy have been amongst the biggest disappointments so far.

World class goalkeeper and a whole bunch of bang average everywhere else.

England would be very confident if they hadn't been as poor as they have so far.

They just have that habit of getting the job done right now with the absolute minimum to spare though.


That is the long time hallmark of Italian tournament play.

[hibsbollah]

Spain look the most likely winners, France the deepest squad and best defence, Portugal allround mastwrs of the dark arts and long game and the hosts Germany started well and despite a suspect defence probably fourth favourites. Shame theyre all in the same half of the draw.

Italy have Donnarumma player of the tournament. Austria the hipsters choice, Switzerland very hard to beat and magnificent spine. England massively flawed, tactically inept but hard to write off some of the talented players. Eight teams can win it IMO.

[Musselbound]

At least Hungary are out too. Nae luck lads. :aok:

Shows how much wishful thinking was involved in the idea Scotland could qualify with 2 points. Was never going to happen. So the late Hungary goal was immaterial really.

[cubehindthegoal]

Or you could see what they have always done save one year on home ground in an international tournament 58 years ago. That’s pretty predictable I’d say. They ain’t no Brazil, Germany, etc .. just wannabes that neverbe. That’s the truth of it.

Germany got to be favourites from historic reflection on tournaments … but it’s tight this time … and the quality is spread a bit more than usual. Tough to call.

[cubehindthegoal]

That is the long time hallmark of Italian tournament play.

They could always win it … and Germany are the same from European teams … Spain threaten to be up there … France moreso are there you could say … England should be you would think … but never have been … the mentality isn’t there perhaps. England are lucky this year in that some of the others could knock each out, and leave only one to beat. That’s the only way I can see that outcome, that and a poor day from their opponents … they over-rate themselves, year after year.

They always count the Italians out. And then they end up getting to the final and often winning.
They are not such a strong pool as in previous years but with that goalie behind them anything is possible.

This is why I'm a bit more cautious about Spain than others, good performance against Croatia but then could only beat this piss poor Italian team 1-0 and that was an own goal. This game is men against boys, Switzerland have been far, far better.

Just like the whole tournament, all Italy have shown at this point is a great goalie.

They looked beaten the second the game kicked off.

The Swiss have been good but Italy have made it easy for them with a total lack of energy or desire.

No idea if it's true or not but the Denmark manager said in his post match interview they've been told it's not 100% accurate as they cannot tell exactly when the ball leaves the players foot.

If true then I think when it's as close as it was then I think they have a case that it's just too close to call and in that instance it should be a goal.

Ange Postecoglou mentioned this to about when the ball leaves the players foot too .

The Danes imo were shafted in that game , bad enough for it to happen once but twice is terrible.

[Gatecrasher]

These pundits man :blah:

[B.H.F.C]

Think England will win comfortably tonight. Thought that the other day in fairness but their good players have to show up at some point.

[hibsbollah]

Wow Wright and Neville have really been drinking the koolaid today.

[J-C]

Why do England wear white and navy blue trim when their flag is red and white. Also still annoys me that they use the British anthem as an English one.

[we are hibs]

Going for 6 minutes today on the Foden dive watch

Two English players booked in the first 6 mins!

[Curried]

Get inty this pis$

[MWHIBBIES]

Trent gets stick for being unable to defend but holy **** Walker can't attack or defend anymore.

Ben White must be chuckling away from his holiday home. Him and James are miles clear.

[Callum_62]

Slovaks could easily be a few goals up here

Quite an open game

Ref seems determined to book everyone

England will get a player sent off at this rate.

[crash]

The best player on the planet gets a yellow too

[hibsbollah]

Is getting like that Chile Italy game in the early 60s when they just kicked each other for 90 minutes.

[Green Reaper]

🤞

[Scottie]

As much Jude Bellingham is a fantastic player there’s something I just can’t stomach about the guy. Only me ?

[Pretty Boy]

Switzerland will be fancying their chances against either of these sides on what we have seen so far in this tournament and today.

[we are hibs]

Foden. An absolute embarrassment

[Iain G]

Do England players know they are allowed to move, it's like statues

[pollution]

Good goal

[Green Reaper]

Get in there!!

[Glory Lurker]

Disaster for England.

[Callum_62]

Can't they also book Guehi for trying to foul him

It’s coming home ! Wait I meant they’re coming home !! 😅

[Pretty Boy]

That defending is laughable. Gueh absolutely ragdolled by the striker and Stones ball watching standing 3 yards away not anticipating the ball in behind.

[Pretty Boy]

It's like a really expensive Pat Fenlon Hibs team.

[Bostonhibby]

Shame[emoji16]

Kane seems to have been taking fitness tips from Christian Nade

[B.H.F.C]

Loads be made of England obviously, but Slovakia been really good.

How do these wee countries manage it and we don’t.

[MWHIBBIES]

It's honestly mental he's persisted with this Foden Bellingham mess. And Mainoo is his 10 senior marches.

[SteveHFC]

Some lovely booing from the England fans.

[HarpOnHibee]

Can see the headlines now.

"Pitch knocks out competition favourites".

[Bostonhibby]

Some lovely booing from the England fans.Think I heard as many as 37 of them with a rousing mumble of the UK national anthem.

At least they’ve lost the fear of losing the first goal…

I enjoyed the Trippier carousel cameo as well.

[J-C]

Passing so slow and ponderous and got what they deserve, although they got through their group, they've been pretty poor.

[Iain G]

In a country of 50 million people you think Gareth could have found a left footed left back

[Pagan Hibernia]

Loads be made of England obviously, but Slovakia been really good.

It's infuriating isn't it! They look so tidy and comfortable on the ball. And Scotland are anything but.

[grunt]

This is so boring.

[hibee-boys]

Why’s Foden got his IQ tattooed behind his ear?🤔

[HarpOnHibee]

Saka screaming as he goes down there from the slightest of touches. You have to wonder if they ever look at these clips back and have a chuckle to themselves.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

For a team with so much supposed talent and had so much of the ball they've done nothing with it. Not that I'm complaining but they look clueless.

[Pretty Boy]

Mainoo probably England's most positive player but that is damned with faint praise.

Looking forward to Roy Keane snickering his way through half time whilst the other pair lose the plot.

Still reckon England will win this. Slovakia can't just sit in like they did for the last 5 minutes of the 1st half. It's just inviting trouble.

[hibsbollah]

Round and round and around :greengrin

Haha! Just googled that.

[Iain G]

I still don't get the point of a Declan Rice, doesnt offer anything

Over £100M though :faf:

Rice was outstanding at Arsenal last season. Just another example of Southgate not being able to get anywhere near as much out of players as they’re capable of.

[Callum_62]

Not 1 shot on target for England

Crazy given there attacking talent

The definition of not playing like a team

Is getting like that Chile Italy game in the early 60s when they just kicked each other for 90 minutes.

it was actually chile v spain and it was called the battle of santiago

[SHODAN]

England unimpressive as they have been the whole tournament.

[Tambo]

Slovakia with a full deserved half time lead, wouldn't be surprised to see some subs second half.

[B.H.F.C]

Slovakia will need to pick up again second half. They got pinned back latter part of the half and lacked any threat themselves. Can’t do that for 45 minutes.

[Coach Jon]

The worry is that Slovakia are sitting back now,Englands weak defence has not been tested since they conceded.
If this continues England will definitely score, Slovakia have to get after a second goal.

[bournehibby]

Chile v Italy
Bh

[Pagan Hibernia]

It was Chile against Italy. 1962.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Saying absolutely nothing until the final whistle.

It’s also funny he selected Shaw who is no where near match fit and hasn’t played since Feb.

[SteveHFC]

**** off Foden

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Lol. Hurrah for VAR

[pollution]

Love var

[crash]

**** off Foden

You were right Off Foden

[Green Reaper]

Offside

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Oh ma sides 😆 offside 😆

[GreenCastle]

Goal was offside but feels like only a matter of time before it’s 1-1

[Scottie]

There’s going to be tears and snotters if this continues :greengrin

[Hibrandenburg]

Ffs, can I unpack my travel bag or not.

[hibsbollah]

Slovakia ball retention very poor this half. I fancy England at this point.

[pollution]

Bring back Maguire!

[we are hibs]

Slovakia have stopped doing what was working for them before the goal went in

[Stairway 2 7]

Slovakia surely can't sit like this for 30 odd minutes. Problem is if England score Slovakia have to switch pace completely

[Curried]

What’s with the aprons ?

[Green Reaper]

Slovakia need to make some changes

[B.H.F.C]

Slovakia lucky not to be down to 10 there.

[easty]

Slovakia lucky not to be down to 10 there.

Should definitely have been a second yellow. Ref was card happy first half, really surprised he didn’t book the guy therr

[Up-the-slope]

just turned on the football :faf:

judging by commentary... its going worse than even the score suggests

[Glory Lurker]

Referee is shocking. Hilarious, but terrible.

[we are hibs]

Lee Dixon is a clown. How was that a booking he tried to pull out a shot [emoji23]
