2024-25 season non-Hibs games thread

WOW. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Offside

Just listening to the Villa game on the radio and the roar that came from the (non) goal was spine-tingling.

Here's hoping they score a legitimate goal

I think Villa might run out of steam here and Bayern will pick them off. Villa play very high intensity which surely must take its toll.

Having a tough time of it at Girona. Yet to score

It was a good much that. Had a bit of everything. Some change in Girona's fortunes since I lived there about 20 years ago!

Do we really just want to be another Luton Town or Huddersfield town? Increased TV coverage would also cause our home crowds to dwindle over time.

Indeed.

Can forget about any competitive European games as well which are a target for any half decent Hibs team. I've seen us qualify for Europe with teams which were p*sh. It's a huge benefit for the club and in turn the support as well.

1-0 Villa

What a ****ing goal.

What a finish Duran👏

Outrageous goal from Duran. Not sure where the Bayern keeper was meant to be

Duran is making David Fairclough look like a rookie :) For the auld yins.

Incredible job.

So good to see a team and fans not spoilt by success looks like it’s rocking down there

Fair play to the Villa

There isnt a stranger type of Hibs fan than one who claims they enjoyed last night's Celtic defeat more than numerous Hibs wins over the last 8 years including ones over Hearts, Celtic, Rangers, Hampden wins and european victories.

Thanks for suggesting I am a strange kind of Hibs fan, I can assure you I am normal. I do love beating the teams you mention but how does that stop me enjoyjng Celtic getting annihilated. And for your info it was a superb game of attacking football, when did you last see a game like that involving Hibs?

Martinez is some goalkeeper

Martinez, the villa keeper is an absolute **** but he's some keeper

For me a spawny 1-0 over St Johnstone would be more enjoyable than watching any Celtic game.

So I am guessing that by your reasoning I am not allowed to enjoy a pulsating exciting match with 8 goals and the added bonus of celtic being pumped more than watching a borefest of Craig Levines non football with Hibs winning 1-0!

Oi, I remember David Fairclough and I'm not that old.......well, maybe lol

Martinez such a character, goalies lack that these days. Touch of class giving young fan his strip at end. Goalie you love if he’s in your colours not so much anywhere else. Some result villa, football journey that’s been good to follow back to the top of the game.

Looking forward to Villa giving Celtic a pumping at Villa Park.

Didn’t know who David Fairclough was , for those who didn’t like me , some player btw …

John McGinn hat-trick please.

It’s mental to think that you can be the manager of Burnley, get relegated from the Premier League then become the Bayern Munich manager. Pure mind boggling man.

Emery doing a great job again this season, was always going to be tough for them to replicate last season's league finish, doing well so far in both the league and Champions League.

Rogers has developed into a great wee player over the past few years.

After 20 minutes I thought it was only a matter of time before Bayern scored and ran away with the game. Villa's resistance was terrific and they made chances too. Martinez must be up there with the best in the world if not the best, he was outstanding. So pleased for Villa and SJM.

And people mocked us when Villa gave us a chasing at Easter Road last season. Top team.
