2019-20 season non-Hibs games thread

[heretoday]

Gotta hand it to the Huns. Great result over a big name in Europe, albeit not on top form.

Difficult one Calum I always want Scottish teams to win and credit where credit due I hate the Hun more than most but that was a cracking result last night against an admittedly disappointing Feyenoord side.

As others have pointed out with every win the Uglies get in Europe they get further and further away from us financially so much so that it is impossible for us to compete with them on a level playing field

Celtic have received soooo much money from their Champions League exploits you just have to look at their bench where they have players who are not first picks worth 10m

Thing is, Celtic and Rangers could lose every game forever more in Europe. We’d still be nowhere near them financially and realistically we’d never challenge them anyway. So I prefer not to worry about it and just laugh at them when they get beat and then flip the coin and decide it’s a good thing for us when they win

All I care about is that extra EL space for fourth. Mon the coefficient.

Funny thing is every time we play the Uglies at Easter Road I always fancy our chances it is a pity our current Manager does not feel the same
We have dished out some beatings to both in the not too distant past despite their expensive signings
Never say never!

When rangers were in the bottom division nobody outside celtic was winning our league. Now rangers are back up there again nobody is winning that league outside celtic and rangers. Not a big change IMHO.

If they do well in Europe then it may enhance our chances of getting better TV money.

The consequences? Well they will continue to gobble up any talent from other Scottish teams and let them rot on the bench, more than ever before.

Anyways, long story short, I would prefer Scotland to have some sort of European reputation and not just be a backwater.

If it means the next time Hibs are in Europe we have a higher seeding, or are more likely to play some teams we can beat, and not just be 'one and done' then fine.

It was only 15 to 20 years ago when players would sign for Hibs because the attraction of playing AGAINST rangers and celtic in Glasgow was there.

It's all relative.

I agree with most of your post other than the Scottish talent part.
It could be argued that the more money they have the less Scottish talent they will purchase.

Scotland are still the leading country in the UEFA coefficient this season with the next round of games in 2 weeks time.
Two more wins and two draws in the remaining 10 group games will see Scotland reach the same coefficient total as last season.

The re-emergence of Rangers in European football will see Scotland pushing hard up the table next season after the poor 2015/16 season coefficient drops off.
Scotland's rightful spot in the table is 13th and comfortably within the top 15 leagues in Europe who receive a 5th European place.

Last season Scotland were sitting in 26th place which was an affront to the history of Scottish football and the wider football world, investors and TV companies will have taken note. The 13th best performing league in Europe competition is infinitely better and more attractive.
Wanting Rangers and Celtic to lose in Europe makes no sense to me. I prefer to look at more money coming to Hibs through UEFA and regular European football as benefits of the Glasgow teams positive European performances. Hating and negativity does none of us or our clubs any good and Scotland looking bad makes Hibs look bad.
Scottish football clubs outside the top 2 need any financial and credibility boost they can lay their hands on to attract better players and finance.

Don’t like it when the pressure is on. All right when they’re playing against Vale of Leithen, Gretna or someone like that.

2-0 to Bournemouth at Southampton now, looking like their first ever league win there is on . As an aside I had to google it for confirmation but the Southampton goalie is Bryan Gunn’s son. I feel old.

Bryan Gunn would be proud of the **** up his son made, sure he made a couple of blunders at us too.
