A cunning plan,but maybe he didn’t fall for it.You have to maybe be more cunning to outsmart these Croatians.Remember they’re not Jambos you’re dealing with.

I have noticed that You do not know much about Croatian football league and Rijeka as a club. So, I am registered here not to provoke but to discuss since there is a good possibility that we will play against each other next week and week after.

After these matches, I will be gone from this forum.

So, we can start a discussion if You are willing to do so.

You can stay as long as you want, provided you don't start gloating like the Maribor fan did when they beat us.

Comparing with last season we are definitely playing faster and more direct. We brought faster attacking players in the squad by coach wishes.

Last year we mostly played 3-5-2, now we prefer something like 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. However, last game at home we played 3-5-2 because we missed some players, we can still play this system if needed.

Fast players will give us problems especially through the centre of midfield and into the heart of our defense where pace is in short supply.

However we do have a manager who prepares very well for games and tends to set up the team so that they maintain shape and we can then use our attacking strength to score the necessary goals except when we play a Scottish team called St Johnstone when everything always goes wrong.

Unlike others I rate Hibs very slightly for this tie over the two legs due to our ability to create and score though as always with Hibs in early European ties wonder if this game is just to early as its 10 weeks since Hibs played a game of this expected intensity.

I understand that You still have some restrictions for going to football matches? I red somewhere that Scotland will completely cancel all Covid restrictions on August 9th.

Our championship started 10 days ago and we are back in stands with no number restrictions. Only restriction is that one must have valid Covid certificate with QR code on it. Last game we attended was against Real Sociedad in EL group stage in October 2020.

Hi Rijeka fan, welcome to Hibs.net!

Now to the important bit……….. can you get tickets for the tie in Croatia ?
Eufa have said “no away fans” but I guess if a local was willing to take a guest or two into the stadium that may be ok😎

Yes we were allowed 4,700 fans for our European match last week which was around 25% of our stadium's capacity.

All restrictions on social distancing are due to be lifted from 9th August.

Although I still expect you to be technically a good bit better than us.

The goals against column from last season would suggest we are stronger defensively, just saying.

I believe not because You need to present ID when buying a ticket. And then presenting an ID and ticket when entering premises.

Also, August 12th is still far away regarding this Covid **** rules. At present, we have about 1 million tourists here. Also, we are currently on Scotland's green list. But it can change rapidly.

Here are the rules for Covid for passengers entering Croatia:

https://www.koronavirus.hr/recommend...ate-border/736

You are on this list with special requirements so You need negative test entering Croatia.

Tickets are usually on web sale here:

https://ulaznice.hr/web/?lang=en

Tickets are personalized so You need to make an account first, buying as a guest is not allowed. Also a hint: stands are named according to sides of the world (S - north, Z - west, I - east, southern stand is for away supporters but it is closed due to UEFA regulations). S is home ultras stand so let us say it is not advisable.:greengrin Anyhow, Z stand is Your choice.

For entering the stadium You need to have Covid certificate (digital on Your phone or printed) with valid QR code on it. This Covid certificate is EU unified, I do not know whether You have one. However, You can make it here locally with a negative test day before a game.

I saw that You are wondering how to reach Rijeka. Cheap flights exists to Venice and Trieste in Italy and Ljubljana in Slovenia. From there, You have max 2 hours with the car (maybe more due to touristic season and many people on border crossing). Croatia is within EU but not in Schengen so You need to show Your ID on border crossings.

So i presume that tickets are not on sale anyhow, just season tickets owners allowed in stadium?

Asking for a friend.:wink:

They stated on their web site no away fans for the qualifiers. Assume they’ll do another release for when the group stages start.

Probably a language thing - In French it would be UAEF (Union des Associations Européennes de Football).

I think tickets for next week's match will go on sale early next week (provided there's no collapse tomorrow!) it will be season ticket holders only initially but there may end up being a general sale if there's tickets left after a couple of days.

Cultural appropriation and inconsistency [emoji16]. We Brits demand its real name is.... Think Eiffel Tower versus Arc de Triumph. The former is Anglicised and the latter is not. We translated the easy one and left the one we couldn't be archied. Branderburg Gate (Tor) but still call the Parliament Reichstag

Two years ago Hajduk Split were eliminated by Gzira (0:2 - 1:3), and headlines in local newspapers in Split a day or two before rematch were screaming something like

" more likely you'll see Martians , than Hajduk gets defeated by Gzira ".

So, Gzira boys were refering to that particular game in the eve of rematch with Rijeka.

But, unlike Hajduk 2 ys ago, we left them no room for surprise.

As you can see from their preformance last night, a strong Martian minority exists in Dalmatia...:agree:
