2023-24 season non-Hibs games thread

This FA cup commentator has said "deliver" more in the half hour gone than Ian Crocker has in his whole career.

Sir Conrad Logan being the exception 🫣

I see Jim at nearly every Hibs home game, and away regularly too

Im sure at one point Hamish McAlpine was Dundee Utds pen taker for a while, perhaps not in a semi though

---

McAlpine was definitely entrusted with some key penalties and scored several (one against us IIRC). Missed a few as well.

How bad is the guy Jackson at finishing

He’s pish

Good to see English refereeing is as horrific as it is up here. Ball hit Grealish and practically done a 180 in terms of the movement. Ref immediately points for a goal kick.

If that’s not a penalty why isn’t it a corner?

The most maddening thing about that is that it should at least be a corner.

Personally, that’s a penalty.

VAR can't overturn a refs decision for a corner, goal kick, throw in etc.

The ref is looking straight at it though so quite how he could award a goal kick is beyond me. It's a corner or a penalty.

Seemed ridiculously quick by var to rule it out.

Dreadful refereeing, bit of an arrogant tit that guy

Ahh thanks, but I think it should be a penalty

Used to think he was the best but not been as good for a while. Been a few decisions recently he seems to have favoured City imo

Not now and how Chelsea must regret all the missed chances.

Can't see where Pep goes when he leaves City. Won't go to another English club, done the only club in Germany he'd go to, would never manage Real and not sure there's an Italian club with the money he demands.

It's PSG or Saudi IMO. Neither are great options for a man with his ego.

Mudryk is a real specimen, he looks like a less likeable Ryan Kent, if that were possible.

PSG is perfect for him.

If PSG don't win it this year or next he'll go there IMO. He'll want to be the one that wins that for them.

If they do I think he'll be Saudi bound.

I wonder if he would fancy DOF at Hibs!! That would be a challenge.

Pep isn't interesting in being the guy who wins it for them. He wants money and a DOF who will get what he wants. He'd manage Livi if they had a billionaire owner.

Slightly off tangent, but I've just watched the BBC News Channel sports news, and whilst reporting on English football, Women's football, Women's Six Nations and Snooker, there wasn't a single utterance of the Scottish Cup Semi-Final.

Disgraceful from a supposed national broadcaster.

The BBC only reports bad news stories about Scotland. If there'd been a riot at the match it would have made the news.

Apparently man city sent back 4k tickets for today's semi final. Pretty awful that. Coventry sold out no problem for tomorrow.

Pep took his first management job at Barcelona who had a disaster season the season before , bombed out one of the greatest players in football history in Ronaldhino, promoted numerous players from La masia and created the greatest club team in history. Maybe he'll get bored one day and head to arsenal and try and help them win some trophies.

Yeah, a real brutal Barcelona side he inherited. Messi, Xavi, Puyol, Iniesta, Eto, Henry, Abidal, Yaya Toure. Pure mince.

He made a brilliant side, and spent a lot of money doing so too.

Then he took a treble winning Bayern side.

Then a bottomless pit of money at City.

PSG is exactly his type of job.


Don't think he'd join Arsenal. They can't buy his brother a football club, and pay him offshore, like City do.

There's any number of Championship sides and some League One clubs who would sell half of Wembley for an FA Cup semi final. Man City are at Wembley for semi finals just about every season, the novelty will have worn off a bit and they don't have the depth of support others do.
