2024-25 season non-Hibs games thread

[cubehindthegoal]

Can go enjoy the Easter Sun now !

Yup. Feel sorry for St Johnstone fans .. but at least the plan is working out for us .. where’s me book !

[Jim44]

I’m going for 10-0 Celtic, unless they’re told to take it easy.

[Stuart93]

Well least we know if we finish 3rd it’s euro groups because Aberdeen have absolutely no chance in the final

[Tambo]

Turned up today and would be expected to beat Aberdeen in the final, we just need to make sure we finish 3rd which i think we will :thumbsup:

[B.H.F.C]

As big a mismatch as you’ll see in a semi final.

[Dashing Bob S]

Big performance required from St Johnstone in the second half.

[SteveHFC]

Turned up today and would be expected to beat Aberdeen in the final, we just need to make sure we finish 3rd which i think we will :thumbsup:

Beat Aberdeen next week and we’ll finish 3rd.

Think we can safely say we’re now in Europe guranteed :hyper

Rodgers to use his bench early to keep his main men fresh for the game against Dundee U next week?

[Dashing Bob S]

Makes Aberdeen now easily the biggest game of the season as I can’t see Celtic not bothering to show up to pick up the last of the three trophies they bought, and have put in a pre purchase order for again next season.

[Green_one]

As big a mismatch as you’ll see in a semi final.

Getting close to a pointless game. St J have done nothing. Stats prove it. My eyes hurt watching these semi finals. Hope the final is better

[Gmack7]

what's the highest scoreline in a SC SF


kinda hoping that's the end of the scoring, starting to feel a bit for St Johnstone now
1 more please, I've done celtic -4

[greenlex]

The Celtic bench alone would trounce St J. Any combination will overwhelm St J.

Can’t feel anything for the final tbh, apart from, if we have done our bit and finish third, then hope aberdeen lose. Apart from that, can be a good or a rubbish game for me now, the next five for us are the only games I’ll enjoy (hopefully !)

[greenlex]

Hibs v the hun live on alba shortly.

Couldn’t care what the final is like. Celtic winning it is all that matters for us.

[LunasBoots]

St J have been very poor, never got up the park at all, very poor semi finalists

[cabbageandribs1875]

1 more please, I've done celtic -4

ok but after you've got your winnings that's it, no more

[King Cosell]

Maybe teams should be allowed to concede, like in the snooker.

Good. No St Johnstone usurping our European spot this season.

one of my fav games at Hampden was when we were getting skelped 3-0 by Falkirk at HT, myself, bro in-law & friends were then able to put our feet up on the empty seats around us and thoroughly enjoy the 2nd half :)

Reminds me of the final in 2013 (?) when we got utterly scudded by Celtic. Celtic end was relatively empty by the time they lifted the trophy and remember thinking "We ever win that thing, you're not getting us out the ground for love nor money"

Are they perhaps the world's most spoiled fanbase? Never faced any sort of adversity in their existence and as soon as a big decision goes against them, they throw the toys out of the pram.

I remember leaving that game thinking to myself that Celtic fans were acting like they just won a league game that meant nothing.

I'll never forget them beating us in a league cup semi final a number of years ago, they won 4-2 or 5-2 not sure, but their celebrations at reaching the final were muted to say the least. The most half arsed YNWA I've ever heard.

Every day I'm grateful to support a team where winning things actually still really matters (though I obviously wish it was a wee bit more frequent!)

They will NEVER experience anything near what we did on 21.05.2016. Celtic fans will try kid you (and themselves) that its as sepcial and its just jealousy etc etc and yea maybe there is a bit of jealously at not winning a trophy at least once a season EVERY season i'm not gonna lie but it must just become so mundane.

Winning a cup to them is like "ah yay very good now up the road for tea". Compare that to the utter madness, emotion and sheer high of our cup win.

There are moves afoot to bring the Championship dual-ownership rules into line with the PL, which would remove the problem. However, the vote on that isn't likely to take place until after the summer, and it's not certain it will pass.

So, if Leeds don't get promoted, the RFC deal might be in limbo for a while.

Thing for Leeds is they're going to have to spend a lot in the summer to have any chance of staying up. The gap between the 17 established clubs and the 3 who come up each year is growing every year.

The consortium does.

The 49'ers element of the consortium are the minority partner, so 25% at most.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for a Championship club to establish themselves in the EPL.

Leeds will need a significant upgrade throughout their side to stay up next season. What is in their favour is that they appear a fair bit better, in an attacking sense, than the other Championship clubs so will likely finish above at least the other promoted two. Can see them targeting Wolves and maybe West Ham. And hoping for a drop off in the likes of Crystal Palace and Fulham, who may lose some of their better players.

Will have to start well, cos they don't want to start sacking managers, which won't end well.

[He's here!]

Smugness? I get people don’t like him for his politics but to call him smug?

I wouldn't say he's smug either. Bit dull maybe but then he's probably been in the job too long.

I liked him as a player for England and especially (as a one-time Goodison season ticket holder) for Everton. Superb striker. The Walkers crisps stint got a bit wearing tho and as you say when he started fancying himself as a political commentator he started to hack people off, myself included.

I liked this article on pushy parents at the football, which mirrors my own experiences, and which thankfully has nothing to do with politics or the rights and wrongs of genocide.

[blackpoolhibs]

It's come to the stage now, that anyone who people disagree with on some points are insulted by one put down or another.

Whatever happened to disagreeing and then moving on.

Dont get me wrong, some folk like Trump deserve everything he gets, but folk who've just played football and commented on it are allowed an opinion, like the rest of us.

[Hibspur]

One of the things i like about him is his honesty and bravery in speaking out.

In what way would you say he's brave? With a £1.5 million salary behind him he's not really likely to fall far for saying something out of turn. Plus he'll walk into further highly lucrative roles once he leaves MOTD. I don't have an issue with his salary, but his accompanying man of the people schtick grates on the nerves.

I've just never warmed to the guy. Possibly rooted in that time he scored a hat-trick for England to the soundtrack of John Motson (or possibly Barry Davies) shouting 'Linekaaa!' and Jimmy Hill in the background crowing 'Oh ho ho!'.

Plus he'll walk into further highly lucrative roles once he leaves MOTD. I don't have an issue with his salary, but his accompanying man of the people schtick grates on the nerves.

I've just never warmed to the guy. Possibly rooted in that time he scored a hat-trick for England to the soundtrack of John Motson (or possibly Barry Davies) shouting 'Linekaaa!' and Jimmy Hill in the background crowing 'Oh ho ho!'.

I’d say putting that kind of salary on the line by expressing your views is very brave.
There’s no guarantee he would replicate that anywhere else particularly if he’s left his current employment basically for his those very views at a time where employers are wary of being seen to
be doing the right thing whether it’s right or not.

Because as the reaction to his comments showed there was a huge push by morons and politicians not mutually exclusive to get him sacked

[Jones28]

I wouldn't say he's smug either. Bit dull maybe but then he's probably been in the job too long.

I liked him as a player for England and especially (as a one-time Goodison season ticket holder) for Everton. Superb striker. The Walkers crisps stint got a bit wearing tho and as you say when he started fancying himself as a political commentator he started to hack people off, myself included.

Out of interest, why did it hack you off?

If everyone stayed in their lane I think it would be very dull and when people I find interesting and like for their talents - I think GL is a very talented footballer who has gone on to be a very talented pundit - I want to know more about them and their take on other things.

Sometimes it's disappointing and I'm happy to leave them where they are - there's a Youtube fitness influencer who I wish I'd never listened to on other things - but for someone like Linekar I find his views interesting. He was on James O'brians Podcast and was very good to listen to on other areas of life.

[He's here!]

I notice other posters had their posts deleted when referring to this, so it's probably not for this thread, but I remember finding it daft that he threw a reference to Nazi Germany into the mix. It just seemed to me a lazy and inaccurate comment.

[speedy_gonzales]

I'm gutted.
I rarely/never gamble but I had a few quid in my Bet365 account so stuck £2 on Thistle at half time when they were down to 10.
They were holding out so odds of 12/1 looked decent.
Stick the £2 on and was watching the cash out option drop as the time marched on.
Even at the Falkirk red the cash-out was slowly ticking down to zero.
90+6, throw in to Falkirk I cashed out at 46p. By the time I hit the "confirm", Thistle scored their second 🫣

It's not something I regularly do, been playing with free money over the last couple of weeks when Hibs beat Rangers. Put £10 on to win at 21/4 and cashed out for £51.14 when the 2nd went in.

46p cash out is wild haha
At the time, I was thinking it was £1.54 lost rather than £2. When Falkirk got the throw in at the end I thought that was game over.

Not sure if you know but with Bet365 they auto pay out when a team go 2 up(hibs at ibrox) as long as the bet was put on before the game:aok: just for future reference. Only applies to certain leagues though, so just make sure.

It’s a bit like when the OF are playing one another when you have to choose the lesser evil … none too keen on Livy but really dislike Falkirk , horrible club . I would have been for most championships clubs over Falkirk…

How did Megwa play, and does he look like he's anywhere near ready to make the step up with us?

Thought he was a standout when I saw him play a number of times for Airdrie but I've been less impressed by what I've seen of him at Thistle. He did OK again last night though.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Just looking at Falkirk's recent poor run. 88th minute goal conceded to Livi, 90th minute equaliser conceded at Ayr, 3 goals conceded after the 88th minute against raith rovers and a 97th minute goal conceded last night.

They'll probably just about stumble over the finishing line due to their goal difference but it looks like their bottle has gone.

If they hadn't had to build a 10,000 seater stadium that they never needed, then they wouldn't need an astro pitch to cut costs and increase revenue.
