It must be a nightmare for the admins when things that have been fine for years stop working all of a sudden - it's obviously not them that are changing stuff for the sake of it.

****ing brilliant! Top man JMS.

In the bag. Bigger question is who will finish 4th. Would prefer St Mirren myself
Either Ambrose or the stadium is upside down, but I'm not sure which.Quote:

Hibs need to focus on just getting points on the board with wins. Continuing this run before the split would take some pressure off and put us in the driving seat.

Despite their lack of goals Aberdeen defence is still fairly reliable. 7 conceded in 7 games isn’t too bad going considering that included trips to Easter Road, Celtic Park and Livingston. I don’t see Killmarnock scoring so 1 goal will kick it for Aberdeen.
I have no idea how to post photos. Have wondered for years, tbh.Quote:

Probably don’t need to really include Livingston in the update as things stand.
Ross has taken some heavy criticism at times this season, but 12 points clear of fifth with 9 games to go is some going.
I wonder if they’ll bring the post split fixtures forward
Our last game pre split against Livvi is on Saturday 20th
The game already pencilled for 3rd v Hamilton was played today
1st spilt fixture as it stands is not due to be played until 17th April, that’s a month gap between games
3rd April is now free, and we also have a Scottish cup semi final date on 10th April

I think three more wins will do it for us. If we win three of our remaining nine games Aberdeen need to win five of their remaining eight to overtake us, and three of those eight are against Celtic and Rangers.
Our most winnable games are this side of the split and we're playing ok at the moment so we've a great chance to wrap this up early in the next few weeks if we can maintain our current form.
There's a compliment in there somewhere.Quote:

I know how we’ve done historically comes up quite a bit but I think you can only really judge on what we’ve seen this season. I think we’ve got an advantage over most of the league this year with the way we’ve invested in the team in a way that others haven’t or can’t. It’s not that he doesn’t deserve any credit for getting top four secured early doors, I just think it’s the minimum requirement this year. Going on to get third moves it from a decent season to a good season for me. And it also gets him some credit back, from me at least, that he lost with the cup disappointments.Quote:

How often do we ever hit our minimum target, yet when we do reach our target and at the moment bettering it, we have grudging compliments like yours.Quote:

Very close to third now. It hasn't been pretty at times but we have done a great job picking up 3 points in the games we should be winning. There are also flashes in games where we move the ball really well which is hopefully a glimpse of where we are headed. Two more wins will be enough for third imo and I think we could get them in the next couple of fixtures
IF we win our game in hand, Aberdeen will likely need to win 3 more games than we do over the 8 remaining games.
Not just, win 3 of the remaining 8, which would prove difficult considering post split fixtures, but win 3 more than us.
The game in hand is massive.
I’ve just said finishing third would be a good season. It’s not a grudging compliment, it’s giving credit where I think it’s due.Quote:

See my post 238, technically we need 21 points.Quote:

Goal difference not taken into account of course. :wink:
We have 2 games before that game in hand. Next week is far more important than the game in hand considering Aberdeen are at Celtic park. Two results go our way next weekend then it’s 3 more wins than us from just 7 games for the sheep.Quote:

Difficult to criticize Ross for finishing 3rd as that slot has been few and far between for us. We should be challenging for it (with A’deen and Hearts) every single season. So well done to him. Even with A’deen imploding financially and Hearts relegated, the games don’t win themselves.
But those cup semi defeats -against vastly inferior sides who just wanted it more- will continue to leave a bad taste until he shows he can build a hungry outfit as well as a consistent one.
Like it or not, while the status of the club my be defined by league standing and European fixtures, any glory we are likely to enjoy will come from domestic cup tournaments. Our record here has to improve.
‘Vastly inferior’ - St Johnstone have lost twice in months, both against the old firm. Without going over old ground, we were favourites and should’ve won, but let’s not pretend it was Queens Park or Stenhousemuir we were playing.Quote:

To get into the group stage of European competition is for me a really exciting prospect. That's purely from a footballing side of things. The financial rewards that come with it will also go a long way to balancing the books after what has been a difficult financial period for all clubs in Scotland.Quote:

Jack Ross has done a fantastic job as far as I'm concerned.
Without going over old ground, third place and reaching a semi final would, in virtually every other season i have watched Hibs (Championship seasons aside), have been considered a great season.
Finishing third would obviously be massive.
I know that guarantees (probably, Scottish Cup pending) us group stages of the new Europa Conference League, which is good, but it's one play off win away from Europa League group stages! Which is massive!
Really think we'll finish third, said so a month or so ago too. And being someone who's criticised Ross in the past, he deserves huge credit if we do finish third.
European group stage football, especially the Europa League would benefit the club and Ron's plans to overhaul the commercial side of the club massively. Could be a game changer.
If we can beat Aberdeen at Pittodrie it would be a massive step.Quote:

Doesn’t matter what Aberdeen do after that, they ain’t catching us if we have a 10 point lead with 7 games to go each.
Third place has become a real possibility as Aberdeen for me have become weaker this season due to the loss of McKenna and Cosgrove in particular. Hibs have been boosted by the signings of Cadden and Irvine and the excellent recent form of McGregor and Boyle. The whole team has been given a boost.
3rd would be an excellent season...good is a wee bit understated...weve only finished 3rd 4 times in like 40 yearsQuote:

If we finish 3rd and had won either of the cups it would have been one of the best seasons in the clubs history and we'd have found it difficult to hold on to the manager. I think we'll be even stronger next season and will be able to dangle the carrot of European football in front of potential signings. We could always still win this season's SC right enough.
Supporting Hibs is finished now, expectations have gone through the roof with nothing to back it up, and remember we were playing diddy league football 5 minutes ago for 3 years.
What expectations are you seeing that are through the roof?Quote:

For most of my time supporting Hibs, any manager not delivering along those lines have found themselves out the door. Don’t think expectations have changed really. Possibly been higher this season due to the positions we’ve found ourselves in.Quote:

This contradicts what a lot of people have been saying that we are guaranteed a place.
From what I have read, we would enter the UEFA Europa League at the 3rd qualifying round, but as far as I can see you then have to negotiate the ‘Play off’ round. And it’s the 10 losers of the Play off round that go straight into the UEFA Conference League, not the losers of the 3rd qualifying round.
Or am I reading this wrong?
I wanted the tea lady out to be honest. Using Spar own brand when the Tetley ran out was disgusting and cowardly. She can't even make a big pot of tea, always bottles it and makes loads of wee pots instead. Aye she successfully made loads of them but is one big pot too much to ask?Quote:

You are reading it wrong. We would go into the playoff round of the Europa League - if we won the playoff we would get Europa League groups, if we lost the playoff we would get Europa Conference groups. Either way we'd be guaranteed group stage football and a minimum of eight European games (two playoff games plus six group games).Quote:

If the Scottish cup is played and we finish 3rd in league but don't win cup what would our route be to the groups.
If Celtic or Rangers win the cup we would still be guaranteed the groups. If someone else wins the cup and takes the group spot we would have to start from way back in Round 2 of the Europa qualifiers, so little or no chance of much progression from there unfortunately.
St Johnstone went into the semi final off the back of 2 wins in 13 matches against top level opposition.Quote:

And I say that as someone who is currently happy with where we are in the league and looking forward to the prospect of group stage European football next season but the two semi final results remain pretty big blots on the copybook for me.
Thanks :thumbsup:Quote:

This is from Wiki;
In the default access list, the title holders of the UEFA Europa Conference League qualify for the group stage. However, since this berth is not used for this season, the following changes to the access list are made:
- The cup winners of association 7 (Russia) enter the group stage instead of the play-off round.
- The cup winners of associations 13 (Denmark) and 14 (Scotland) enter the play-off round instead of the third qualifying round.
Phew :thumbsup:
And we went into it with one win, one draw and 3 defeats in our 5 prior to it. They were also unbeaten in 4 prior to it with a win and 3 draws. My point being that St Johnstone have now gone 11 games only losing to Rangers and Celtic. They’re not some gang that was put together that day. We fell to bits which was unacceptable, however taking our chances we would’ve been out of sight. Saying they are ‘vastly inferior’ to us is just wrong.Quote:
