We are very much on a learning curve as far as European football goes.
Can't wait on Thursday.
Agree!Quote:

I've enjoyed having some input from the Croatian teams supporters, of course he's going to stick up for his team, and we are doing the same for ours.
Knowing how these games go, if we'd played like they did away in the first leg, we'd be over the moon with a draw, and confident of a win at home.
Personally i think we have a chance, probably more of a chance than i did before the first leg of going through to the next round.
Although saying that, i still have them as good favourites.
6-0 Hibs.:wink:
How many Hibs fans travelling, does anyone have an idea? Cheers.Quote:

I know at least 30-40 people that are going through my mates and speaking to others so I’d expect a decent wee turn out. I need to take my covid test at 10pm tonight so will all hinge on that lol or will it lolQuote:

If that is the kick off time, why on earth did they not make it 8 or 9pm local time to avoid the heat?
Gives them a huge advantage
Kick off is 7pm UK time on ThursdayQuote:

We do have a chance on Thursday based on last week's showing but we are the clear underdog.
Have they got any plans to finish it?Quote:

Some of the comments on this thread are giving me an “Apollo creed in the press conference prior to fighting Drago” vibe. They will be a different beast at home and I think we need to be very cautious about underplaying their abilities.
Yes I’m the same, think they will perform much better on their own patch, will be delighted to be proved wrong though- here’s hoping! GgtthQuote:

For those who are planning to buy ticket for the game at the stadium, working hours are as follows:
Western entrance (main entrance on stadium):
- every working day 16-21 h
- game day starting at 17.00
Eastern entrance:
- only on game day, starting at 18.30
Credit cards and cash accepted.
Agree their forward players are very good and we will need to see if our defence is up to keeping them out. Won't be easy that is for sure. Will be interesting to see if we set up the same in the away tie or consider a more cautious approach.Quote:

The weather could be a real leveller. Almost 30 degrees at kick off time is very very hot.
That worries. We'll have very little time over their to adjust and no matter how fit you are, that heat difference compared with Scotland can be a killer.Quote:

So in time, red jersey became second kit, and at the moment we have only two kits: white and red.
If you ask supporters, red would be kicked out or it can be only as third option. But, that is just our opinion.
Rijeka average attendances are less than 5,000 (2nd highest in Croatia) so they have no need to rush to finish it.Quote:

Their top league average attendance is only about 3,500 which is less than 25% of the average for our league.
Suggests your average Croation isn't that interested in football.

Where does that arrogance come from? They played more long balls than we did. Is the guy in denial or something. Bizarre. This will be a close game between two well matched sides. Theres no need for the snobbery from the Croats.Quote:

Guys,
match is closing by, tensions are rising so I think it is time for me to leave this forum.
Thanks for letting me in, hope I helped with tips and tricks.
Looking forward for Thursday game, I will be on northern stand with my crew.
Hopefully our teams will meet each other again in some normal times so we can go to Edinburgh and You can come in Rijeka in bigger numbers.
Live long and prosper.
Take care my friend and thank you for brilliant advice & tips :aok:Quote:

It's been a pleasure reading your posts, why not pop by on Friday morning to wish us well in the next round of the tournament 😜😜👌Quote:

Really poor. We were miles ahead of them and could have won by 2-3 goals. Both teams scored a header, each had two yellow cards, we definitely created more chances (not via crosses) and possession was all us until later in the game when they started wasting time.Quote:

Not sure if this is some strange attempt at mind games but the way we’ve started the season it’ll backfire for themQuote:

If they want to play on the deck thinking it will trouble us then let them think that, it plays right into our hands.
Go out there, play our football with no distractions and we will be a good match for them at least.
hope we get Bohemians fan appearing after thursday :greengrin

Message To Fans Ahead Of Our Away Trip To HNK Rijeka
Share on twitter
Share on Facebook
Fans are reminded that there are no away tickets for our away trip to HNK Rijeka on Thursday in the third-qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
We are all really excited for our away trip to Rijeka. It is a chance to get one step closer to the group stage of the Europa Conference League and build on our impressive start to the 2021/22 season.
Hopefully we can make it a night to remember for fans and set up a play-off tie against either Bohemians or PAOK. But we are duty bound to remind all Hibernian fans that there are no away tickets available for the game.
All tickets will be checked prior to entry and any Hibernian fans who are not Croat residents will be turned away at the gate. HNK Rijeka reserve the right to do this solely at their discretion.
If any Hibernian fans do manage to somehow enter the stadium, they will risk ejection and put the club at risk of a UEFA fine.
We have been made aware of posts on social media from a few fans saying they will be travelling to Croatia to attend the game. While Croatia is a green-listed country, and people from this country are free to travel there for holiday purposes, we nonetheless urge you to stay in Scotland and not travel over for the match.
If you are heading to Croatia please don't gather outside the stadium and ensure you watch the match safely and responsibly. We want our trip to Rijeka to be a memorable occasion so encourage all fans to please stay at home and watch the game on Premier Sports.

I did say this over a week or so ago. You definitely won't get in. UEFA driven. Not a local choice.Quote:

Won't be going anywhere near the game and don't really care.
Croatia is a great country so a perfect excuse to get over there and enjoy the sun, watch the game on the telly with pals on the beautiful Dalmatian Coast.
Maybe go and see the Hadjuk Split game on Saturday, fly back Sunday.
No point in driving all the way up there just to not get into the game.
Hibs can urge me to stay in Scotland all they like. I prefer warm weather.
So is this your summer holiday, which sounds great, or are you going there because Hibs are playing in the same country, which sounds a bit strange.Quote:

Definitely a holiday primarily for me but will be interesting watching the game there. I imagine Hadjuk fans won't mind who wins so can't imagine any hassles.
Am just jealous!Quote:

Stay safe in the current crisis
We are a strong, fit team and it is early in the season.
Don't want to hear this heat nonsense as an excuse if we don't perform. It was as hot in Tripolis a couple of years back and we got through. Based on club performances however, Rijeka are a slight step up from Asteras Tripolis.
Looking for a similar performance on Thursday as we had in Greece.
We better turn up.
More threatening the team than supporting them there.Quote:

How do we think we'll line up?
Same formation or switch to 532 with Boyle at RWB and Murphy playing off the striker?
I’d stick with the same team, tactics and formation we started with on Sunday.Quote:

We’ll need the same again Thursday I’m sure.
ADMINS: I see that we've two threads covering the MMK Rjeka game. Whilst the one below is new for the away leg, the topic has already been well discussed in this thread. Any chance we can merge! For auld guys like myself, it makes it easier to remember which thread I posted on. :panic:
Rijeka Away (hibs.net)
Anybody else reading between the lines and seeing this cryptic message as really meaning “come along liquored up and full of Bolivian marching powder with a mob of CCS and cause as much aggro as you like, the local old bill are pretty lax and it’ll be easy to get into the stadium and then initiate some mass 80’s style carnage in the town” or is just me?Quote:
