Listen, if Hearts don't make the top six, it's an absolute disgrace with the money and everything that they've got, and the players they've got too.

:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin

[Sheffhibee]

Great atmospheric booing from the yams 😊

[Donegal Hibby]

Sickback should be good viewing this evening 😂

[HarpOnHibee]

Absolute loser mentality from the pink plums. They ain't making top 6 at the split.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

How bad are the charity thieves 😮🤣

[CentreLine]

Does this mean St Mirren have a very good chance of raining on Hearts’ parade all over again? 😎

[cabbageandribs1875]

:music: heartz are falling apart again

sing the away fans

[EdinMike]

Hearts are 11 points behind Hibs with 18 points to play for including 2 games v Old Firm - that’s assuming Hearts are top 6 beating Motherwell away.

Pretty certain Hibs will finish above Hearts now.

Hearts draw next week and St Mirren win they aren’t top 6.

Motherwell win and they aren’t top 6.

Hearts 5 points away from relegation playoff game v Livingston or Ayr.

Scott Brown to relegate Hearts ?! 🤣🤣

[1875M]

Didn’t realise sheep’s goal difference was so bad?! -4 and they’re 4th? Wow.

[e2los]

Fantastic weekend.
Roll on next Sunday.
:lolyam:

[K-Zazu]

Hearts don’t want another derby skelping so trying to avoid top 6

[Trinity Hibee]

Didn’t realise sheep’s goal difference was so bad?! -4 and they’re 4th? Wow.

Good point. Our GD is an extra point

[hibsfan7]

now the funny thing is if they lose next week and do not make the top 6 and then win every game and hibs lose every game in the top 6 they will have more points than hibs but still not be above us

[O'Rourke3]

go to credit Hearts supporters - there was more of them left to do some proper Booooooooing than there was at Ibrox yesterday

It's a hard ground to get out of.....

[Bishop Hibee]

A draw might have been a better result for Hibs but nowhere near as funny. When the boos reach a certain decibel level do the fans have a vote whether Critchley stays or goes?

[cabbageandribs1875]

so


must win game for Motherwell next week to have any chance of making top six

same for St Mirren v Ross co

St Mirren nine GD better off than Motherwell


of course this is all mute if Heartz win at Motherwell

[GreenCastle]

now the funny thing is if they lose next week and do not make the top 6 and then win every game and hibs lose every game in the top 6 they will have more points than hibs but still not be above us

They won’t and we won’t.

[Aldo]

A draw might have been a better result for Hibs but nowhere near as funny. When the boos reach a certain decibel level do the fans have a vote whether Critchley stays or goes?

It probably would have been but **** it, that’s them now lost 15 games this season.

Let’s hope they stick with Critchley and JTA can unearth more world beaters like Steinwiener or whatever his name is.

Yup - no easy games in that bottom lot and some teams finding form again.

Ideally Hearts lost next 2 games - would see proper meltdown and protests.

[greenlex]

Why is the tv “studio” about the size of a broom cupboard in the shiny new mega stand? Can barely get the three of them in shot with the cameraman about sitting in their laps. Good job the fisheye lens was invented.

[Bostonhibby]

They could finish top with more points than team in 5th and Mrs Doctor could write asking why they were being expunged from Europe, or that.Expungulated I think was the phrase knocking about that time they finished in the relegation position but the good doctor didn't want to call it relegation

Hearts can’t play Top 6 teams. Fact.

[worcesterhibby]

Right.. next week.. wins for Motherwell, StMirren, Rangers and StJohnstone please. Hibs would be 4 points clear in 3rd ( effectively 5 points with our goal difference) and Hearts would be 8th.

[tamig]

Nothing funny in that at all as we’d have most likely blown our chance of Europe.

[Billy Whizz]

Would be funny if Hearts end up in bottom 6 trying to avoid the relegation playoff spot.

Lose next week and they’ll be dragged into it

[Trinity Hibee]

Fair play to critchley he says after seeing it again he can see why it’s a red and Wilson needs to learn from it

[1875M]

Lose next week and they’ll be dragged into it

Most definitely. It’s going to be a slog down there over the next few weeks. Part of me wants Hearts to scrape 6th for our own benefit as I genuinely feel we take another 3 points off them. But part of me wants to watch them get dragged into the bottom 6 and have to squirm every week.

English football is so dull - can’t remember the last decent EPL game. So many crap games on TV.

Think the worst part is the plastic fans of many clubs - seems so many tourists at the stadiums (yes I know the global appeal etc) but just means crap atmospheres.

Teams is Scotland should be all over “Support Local” for ST campaigns.

A Manchester derby and you can hear the players . Dreadful game, dreadful atmosphere. Man Utd fans cheering half time like it’s an achievement.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Right.. next week.. wins for Motherwell, StMirren, Rangers and StJohnstone please. Hibs would be 4 points clear in 3rd ( effectively 5 points with our goal difference) and Hearts would be 8th.

Whatever the case our game with Dundee is now even more massive than it was .... none of that matters if we can't win it and the result is just as important for Dundee as it is for us. How the hell did St Johnstone beat Celtic? they were utterly rank against us. Just another mental result in a mental season.

I can't remember a season like this one where absolutely everything apart from the top two spots is still at stake with 6 games to go. 3 clubs well in the hunt for 3rd and even the team in 6th place not guaranteed safety from relegation.

Every ground hosting a game next weekend should be rammed, or near to it, because every one has meaning.

He does seem pretty honest. But the only KPI for their support is the derby record. He’s failed on that so far. That will be his undoing rather than his honesty or his pleasant manner.

You’re right however after we won the last Derby, he said in his post match interview that the best team won. A wee nosey on kickback showed that comment annoyed their fans at least equally as much as the actual result did.

[greenlex]

I've just caught sight of the lesser spotted Shaw at Old Trafford. :faf:

Good spot.
As an aside. At what point as a football fan do you stop and think to yourself why am I paying this much money per game to sit and watch the best players in the world playing in a huge derby game in the best league in the world only to watch them pass it backwards, sideways and rarely forward. I get they are watching their team but deary me. This is probably been the worst derby I’ve seen in many many years. No passion nothing. Has there been a tackle yet? Both sides the same. Nothing. I’m bored to tears and about to turn over to watch Kids Drive Chip n putt at Augusta.

It’s a tourist league now sadly - least the English Champjonship is a more raw.

All for tourists going to games - of course I’ve done it but at same time too many local fans are priced out of the game. Guess I’m part of the problem playing for a ticket ?!

No idea how folk can get excited over it - feels like the Prem years have peaked and teams are all over coached due to people like Pep.

Manchester Derby was garbage. Lots of players with little investment in it. Makes you appreciate how lucky we are in Scotland with our various rivalries, with the Edinburgh Derby the most well-balanced of the bunch.

The thought of playing Celtic or Rangers again is dull. Celtic 6 times this season!!

Imagine yesterday was Rangers away only once a season and we won.

I do agree there is excitement within the league from 3rd till 12th but playing teams too many times is boring.

A really terrible buy.

However, he’s basically their only number 9. I think Rooney talked about him and compared to him to someone like a David Bellion…. A young promising forward who should be playing cup games and making sub appearances.

But unlike those days where a Bellion would have Rooney, Saha, Berbatov etc, Hojlund has nobody to learn from or take the pressure off. Their squad is terrible, will take another 3 years to sort out.

Yes. Just the time to be chuntering on about making the league bigger so we can stop being bored by playing teams four times and replace that with meaningless games so we don’t get too excited.

[H18S NX]

It is a different game now and is often ruined by players being sent off early in games.

To think the likes of Roy Aitken & Tam Forsyth used to maraud around like lunatics in the 70s and 80s getting away with all kind of stuff. In those days what would constitute a straight red. Don't think I can remember many, if any at all.

Wilson's was in no way as worse as Tarkowski. But with TV, refs, 4th official and now VAR, they still get it wrong....Gone are the days of Roy Barry and Willie Toner.

IF sheff u hadn't been docked two points at start of season all three would be on 85 points, still the same positions on GD but well, just saying :)
Such a competitive league think it will go to wire.

[Since452]

Well done Real Madrid for going through. It's inevitable.

[Joe6-2]

I do like the Gunners, nice to see a great, composed display and two out of this world free kicks

[Springbank]

Cubillas v Scotland

Cough, i'll get my coat. :)

I seem to remember a version of a Barry Manilow song that did the rounds after Ronaldinho papped England out the 2002 world cup with a free kick from 42 yards

His name was David,
He was a goalie,
With a pigtail in his hair, why was he standing way out there ?

At the Copa, oh, Copa-ca-bann-ock-burn,
Its great to watch Rivaldo turn,
At the Copa, oh, Copa-ca-bann-ock-burn,

But, but, but.....according to the English commentators that was a lucky sclaff by Ronaldinho :greengrin

[Up-the-slope]

Very interesting reading beeb article on why Marco Asensio of PSG CAN play against his parent club for Villa tonight - certainly adds a bit of extra spice to the game above Villa manager returning to PSG

[flash]

Could this finally be PSGs year?

They play at a great tempo.

[Donegal Hibby]

Going to be a long night for Villa here … PSG look a classy team.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1-0 Barcelona

[Hibees1973]

I'm surprised Rashford is starting ahead of Watkins.

[SteveHFC]

1-0 Villa

[we are hibs]

Brilliant from McGinn

Get in!

Top player, McGinn. Great tackle and pass out to start the goal.

[badabing67]

McGinn is something else

[Hibees1973]

Indeed.

Strong, winning tackles, winning fouls.

Player.

[SteveHFC]

1-1

[Donegal Hibby]

What a goal !

[Irish_Steve]

Meant it lol

[Hibees1973]

Kind the same as the PSG v Liverpool game.

Villa under siege.

[The Modfather]

McGinn doing it in the CL QF’s. Incredible

Wonder if anyone could have predicted McGeouch & McGinns career paths after that season under Lennon. One playing for Carlisle and whose career fizzled out after us. The other dominating PSG in the Paris in a champions league quarter final.

[Lago]

Des Bremner won the European Cup with Villa, McGinn got a bit to go.

[SteveHFC]

2-1 psg

[Trinity Hibee]

Wouldn’t it be funny if PSG end up winning the CL with this team when they couldn’t with mbappe, Neymar, Messi etc

[Irish_Steve]

That's a stonking goal

[Hibees1973]

Peculiar why Kvaratskhelia wasn't a priority signing for the likes of Man City or even Liverpool.

Clearly the wealthy clubs in England have missed a trick.

[flash]

They are a far better team without having to pander to any of them.

Maybe just lacking a striker.

[SteveHFC]

3-1

[cabbageandribs1875]

FT Barca 4 Dortmund 0

[hibsbollah]

I despise PSG but thats a filthy bit of skill for the 3rd. Nuno Mendes is absolutely tremendous

[Trinity Hibee]

PSG been very impressive particularly off the ball

[Pagan Hibernia]

PSG have a great chance of finally winning it this year.

How romantic that story would be is up for debate but they have a great chance nonetheless

[Hibees1973]

Sure I saw Sala still in his pocket from the last round.

[Scouse Hibee]

Liverpool allegedly tried and bid £84m for him!

[hibsbollah]

For a left back to check it back like that and finish…was Cruyff like.

[Hibees1973]

Hmm...sore one to miss out on Scouse.

Would have been a bit of an upgrade on Diaz.

[Bobby's Cinema]

I don't always tune in for the champions league but the way they played against Liverpool was electric, brilliant to watch. Think they have a great chance.

He chose PSG rather than them being the only option

Sevco drop Butland for todays game. Last year they were trying to hawk him to England for 15M IIRC :faf::faf:

Thought when I seen the team that Ferguson had balls on him but they may be bigger than his brains.

It’s a red. Unlucky Huns.

[marinello59]

It’s a red. Unlucky Huns.

McCoist trying to say it’s harsh. Red all day long.

[silverhibee]

Huns down to ten :greengrin

Ally’s raging, “it’s a penalty but common sense says it’s not” :rolleyes:

[Green Reaper]

It’s a red. Unlucky Huns.

🤣After just 12 mins, ally spraffing about it, Bilbao were looking pretty slick before the red so this will be interesting

[cubehindthegoal]

Huns down to ten :greengrin

Clear as day red … still shot of video showed he was clear in 1 on 1 … McCoist trying to argue it’s wrong 🤪

It’s not a Scottish VAR or referee I’m afraid, Ally.

[Donegal Hibby]

McCoist having a meltdown 😂

[Stuart93]

Ally no happy that the ref, as he has to, has followed the rule book 😂

What’s he on about

[jakedance]

Always a shock to Rangers when they’re not granted the blind eye of Scottish referees.

[DaveF]

McCoist's rage is hilarious 🤣

[Tyler Durden]

Absolutely beautiful viewing that Ally and the other plum had no inclination that it was a blatant red…. 😂

Then total nonsense about the rules. The logic couldn’t be more clear as to why it’s a red.

[blackpoolhibs]

McCoist trying to say it’s harsh. Red all day long.

Aye but anyone who's played the game at any level knows that it's nonsence. :greengrin

[jakedance]

“It’s a red card but that’s not fair so it shouldn’t be”, or something like that.

[HoboHarry]

Har har har, hope Bilbao take full advantage and score 6 lol...

[Stuart93]

That 49 for rangers is lazy as ****.

Who is it

[JohnM1875]

I ****ing hate Ally McCoist.

[Green Reaper]

Absolutely beautiful viewing that Ally and the other plum had no inclination that it was a blatant red…. 😂

Ally saying if it was in the box it would be a penalty but no red so how come it's a red outside the box 😅

[blackpoolhibs]

Huns are that used to having biased referees and VAR officials, that in Europe where they are ref'd properly to the rules, they cant understand simple decisions.:rolleyes:

[HoboHarry]

I ****ing hate Ally McCoist.
Said the same a hundred times. Cheeky chappie my er*e, showed his true colors when he was managing Sevco. Prefer Levein to that k**b.

[Hillsidehibby]

It must be common sense when The Huns get every decision in their favour

[cubehindthegoal]

Ally no happy that the ref, as he has to, has followed the rule book 😂

What’s he on about

Simple .. Sevco Entitlement.

[SHODAN]

It's always fun watching Rangers being refereed fairly.

[J-C]

Onana with another howler for United, who scouted him for that team?

[Hibees1973]

It's always fun watching Rangers being refereed fairly.

VAR is useful, particularly at Ibrox.

Boyle's goal on Saturday would not have counted if it wasn't for VAR.

[DH1875]

Ferguson yellow carded lol.
Massive group of Bilbao fans sitting together in the rangers end???

[blackpoolhibs]

Onana with another howler for United, who scouted him for that team?
Matic was right. :greengrin

this is simply not good enough Bilbao



get the finger oot

Bilbao really don't look particularly good.

[Hibees1973]

At that corner just now, there is a Union Jack with Culloden on it.

I mean, that's extraordinary.

Liam Kelly all set to play the hero role.

HT 0-0 booooooooooooooooooo

[SJNB Hibby]

Dessers shouldve scored there...how many good chances has he missed over the last game and a half?

[Green Reaper]

Disappointing, hopefully Bilbao step it up 2nd half

[Donegal Hibby]

Bilbao are poor and Williams dreadful… disappointing ☹️

[cabbageandribs1875]

Sevco staying staunch and firm

[cubehindthegoal]

Dessers shouldve scored there...how many good chances has he missed over the last game and a half?

The perfect amount.

[Since452]

Imagine not being able to beat the Huns at Ibrox. Embarrassing.

[JimBHibees]

Bilbao just being patient will score a couple in the second half

[JeMeSouviens]

At that corner just now, there is a Union Jack with Culloden on it.

I mean, that's extraordinary.

They might actually be from Culloden which is more or less a suburb of Inverness. Loads of huns around Inverness.

[lapsedhibee]

:agree: And will contribute to the worst home run in the Rangers' entire 13 year history.

Hard to believe he’s the same guy that ripped up the Euros for fun.

[DIXIHIBS]

I saw this discussed somewhere else previously and apparently it's Huns supporters from Culloden. Nothing more sinister.

Bilbao player telling the referee to visit specsavers

Were they born there? Some choice of (distant) team to support .. wonder why 😒

[cubehindthegoal]

Bilbao chance fluffed

They have a few players that seem to be playing below their capabilities tonight. Maybe saving it for later. Been a slightly weird match that way though.

[tamig]

I hear the hun blasting out Caledonia again. Seems to be a fairly recent phenomenon. Anybody know if they have their own customised lyrics? Hearing them singing that fantastic song is enough to bring on the boak.

[Onceinawhile]
