Post split fixture schedule

[seanshow]

Any takers on predicting the order of the last 5 games for the Hibees.

To remain in 3rd place..
I'll go for the cynical, let's make it a hard as possible selection from the spfl. :devil:

First up away to Celtic naturally,followed by a visit from the Huns, then of course away to the Sheepies, followed by home to Utd and finish with a visit to the pink bus shelter or St midden.

Celtic (A)
Rangers (H)
Aberdeen (A)
Dundee U (H)
Hearts/St Mirren (A)

Having said that we fear no-one, bring it on. :greengrin

[Paul1642]

No guess at the order but I really want United at home first up. it’s our most likely win and if we are sat on 56 points after 34 games, with Aberdeen still on 49 (can they play Celtic first please), then it’s very close to job done as early as possible.

[Hibby70]

I reckon we'll be away to Aberdeen last game as TV will see that as a 3rd place decider.

[Just_Jimmy]

Hopefully Dundee Utd first, Celtic away last and it won't matter to us or them but chance for an upset.

Hopefully hearts are bottom six because we dont need the baggage of a Derby and an upset would ruin loads of good work.

We're more than capable of beating Aberdeen away, Utd at home and Rangers at home.

Is it certain that these are the home/away splits?

[LaMotta]

I cant believe how many people were delighted with a Dundee United win today - that really could end up being a problem.

[SteveHFC]

Dundee United (H)
Hearts/St.Mirren (A)
Celtic (A)
Rangers (H)
Aberdeen (A)

[B.H.F.C]

Celtic (A)
Rangers (H)
Sixth Place (A)
Dundee Utd (H)
Aberdeen (A)

Wouldn’t say I was delighted by it but Hearts losing is never a bad thing.

If Hearts end up in the top six that’s potentially a problem as well. There’s only one game they’d be putting any real effort in to after the split. I don’t think Utd will take 4 more points than us between now and the end of the season.

There is always something funny about Hearts losing, but they still just need to beat a poor Motherwell team next week to get in the top 6. Just think having United 5 points behind us instead of 3 would have been a big thing.

I suppose actually an extra point for Hearts today would have meant that a point next week would have guaranteed them top six, whereas now they have to win, so there is that!

[CallumHibs07]

We’re effectively 4 points above them when you consider goal difference, and a home game against them to come. If we let them overtake us we don’t deserve 3rd.

[JohnM1875]

Dundee united are awful. No chance they finish third, wouldn’t surprise me if they lose all five of their top six games

[Donegal Hibby]

Said a couple of times I think Dundee Utd have really had a fair slice of luck this season but at the same time I don’t think we can dismiss them as having no chance of finishing third considering they are only three points behind us with an easier game before the split.

[LaMotta]

Goal diff is important, but its 3.5 points really. Assuming we both win next week, If they beat us for example (given how close all games have been its a possibility) they only need to get one point more than us after that to finish above us.

[LaMotta]

Really hope you are right mate.

I agree completely.

A draw would've been the best result - would have made no difference to Hearts permutations for next week (they need to win, or draw and hope that St Mirren don't win), and Dundee United would've dropped 2 points.

But a Hearts defeat is 2nd prize for the reasons you say. And potentially a chance of a home tie for us if Motherwell get top 6 instead (I think?).

If Hearts had managed a draw yesterday then a draw at Motherwell would have done them, even if St Mirren beat Ross Co. Now they need to win, if St Mirren win.

[Unseen work]

If St Mirren get top 6 we’d be due to play them at home wouldn’t we?

Motherwell and Hearts would be away.

I’m not sure they would have us an Aberdeen as last game of the season. Think Police might put their foot down, they’ve had issues in the past when we’ve came up. I hope they don’t allow it as pittodrie away as a decided would be a disaster!

Give me;

Dundee United
St Mirren
Aberdeen
Rangers
Celtic

[Hibs3-2]

Ideally:

Stmirren (h)
Celtic (a)
Rangers (h)
Aberdeen (a)
Dundee united (h)

Aberdeen to play celtic then rangers

[Trinity Hibee]

Are we only in line to play 2 home games post split to take us to 19 home games?

[hibee_girl]

:agree:

[Nicho87]

As poor as hearts are I would rather go to st Mirren or Motherwell than tynecastle

You just know they would the game against us the game of their season

It has similarities of the game we got beat under Lennon when we were on the unbeaten run going for second and we mucked it up

[Springbank]

I reckon we'll be away to Aberdeen last game as TV will see that as a 3rd place decider.

I think this will be the first game after the split so TV sees Hibs win the 3rd place decider

[Hibernian Verse]

If St Mirren finish 6th, I'd rather they sent us to Ibrox for a third time and we got Utd & St Mirren at home.

[LEaston87]

St Mirren will only be due 2 home games and Rangers will be due 3 so this might actually happen

[bingo70]

I’m guessing Hearts must be due 3 home games after the split, what about Motherwell?

[foxy]

Motherwell are due 3 at home

Celtic are due 2 home - 3 away
Rangers are due 3 home - 2 away
Hibs are due 2 home - 3 away
Dons are due 2 home - 3 away
United are due 3 home - 2 away
Hearts are due 3 home - 2 away
St Mirren are due 2 home - 3 away
Motherwell are due 3 home - 2 away

[Dashing Bob S]

Would like St Mirren. They have taken the most points of us this season out of any team, but they aren't that good so we should be determined to settle scores there. The 0-3 at ER rivalled 1-4 at Dens as the season low.

I'd prefer Motherwell to be honest

[JohnM1875]

Same, mainly cause they’re pants! Can’t see them beating Hearts though unfortunately.

[Hibees1973]

I think it's reasonable to expect Motherwell beating Hearts.

On the dark side a fair number of Yams not optimistic.

[Hibees1973]

Celtic (A)
Rangers (H)
Sixth Place (A)
Dundee Utd (H)
Aberdeen (A)

Would put a sizeable amount of money on this sequence.

Much as the SPFL say it's done by computer, clearly they will manipulate it.

For example, TV games, league positions going to the wire, Rangers/Celtic league deciding game, that Aberdeen supporting SNP minister availability for his freebie, etc.

[Donegal Hibby]

They had two bad results recently but the three games before that they’ve drew with St Mirren and beat Dundee at home while beating Sevco at Ibrox. I think there’s more pressure on hertz in this one with the fact Critchley hasn’t won many big games I wouldn’t rule Motherwell out of getting something either .

Other than Dundee they are the only team we have not beaten in the league. If we beat Dundee this weekend I would like us to get the full set.

So St Mirren for me. BTW they are only due 2 home games post split .

[LewysGot2]

With a couple of midweek games I hope one of them isn’t
Pittodrie :rolleyes:

[foxy]

My guess would be Dundee Utd or Rangers at home that night.

Right fixture boffins, get to work.

I make that we should have 3 home games against rangers, Dundee Utd and St Mirren.

I don’t think that can happen though as that’d mean we’d have had too many home games? Presumably one of st Mirren or Dundee Utd will be played away?

20 home games and 18 away can happen, I remember us benefiting from it in the past. No idea if it will work that way for us this split though.

Don’t think they’d want a team with a chance of 3rd benefitting over another though, could obviously be wrong! But it’ll be tricky to split the fixtures I think.

I reckon we’ll go to St Mirren for a third time.

Is that based on anything other than a hunch?

How many home games have they had?

I suspect that will mean we have a third trip to Ibrox?

[Mcbizz1998]

When can we expect to find out?

Surely they knew the permutations and had it all ready to go depending what happened today?

Tuesday I think they said.

Fixtures will be decided now but they need to give a couple of days for rangers and Celtic to make sure they’re ok with them.

They'll be doing their usual and desperately trying to avoid any scenario that involves Celtic winning the league against Rangers.

Everyone else doesn't matter.

It’s worse than that! Someone posted in another thread, it can’t be a title decider, it can’t be a guard of honour, it can’t be trophy day and probably won’t be the midweek game. It only leaves 1 game week or something crazy!

Absolute nonsense!

[Tambo]

Goal difference will be like an extra point for us, I think 9 points from 15 would be enough, we just need to make sure we beat Aberdeen and Dundee United and ideally St Mirren.

Let's go for 15 points!

[Unseen work]

We’ll get Celtic first game of the split as they’ll want to end our run

[MKHIBEE]

Already done, both teams will have been given 3 sets of fixtures, they will have okayed all of them and it’s the ones with St Mirren they will play.

[MKHIBEE]

Give Aberdeen or Dundee Utd the first game against Celtic. They still have a league to win

[1875M]

After seeing that, and watching United / Sheep games this weekend, play like that and not a chance we lose to either of them. Throw in Rangers who are beatable. St Mirren will be a tricky fixture, especially away and Celtic a free hit.

[wookie70]

Celtic away will hopefully be somewhere in the middle of teh fixtures. Post them winning the league and before their celebration at the end. I suspect they will give us Utd and Aberdeen as 3rd and 4th fixtures. The Rangers at ER first up would be decent as would St Mirren away.

[coldingham hibs]

My thoughts exactly.

[Eyrie]

I think Celtc are only due two home games and one of those will be the last day of the season. That rules out us visiting there for the first game since no club will have three away fixtures in a row.

I predict we'll play them in the final game.
