Who actually watches or listens to the BBC these days? Its become a parody that we have to pay a license fee for the privilege when its become so irrelevant to so many.

Marching through town signing racist songs during Covid. Right...

There's me thinking that racists are immune to Covid.

Aye, shock horror right enough. Covid -all new super anti sectarian strain is needed.

You're looking for a fight and I'm not sure why...

Have a good night.

Apparently Aberdeen had a bigger crowd than Hibs. Got to be a first.

Adult tickets £18 and £20.

Not the first time you've been involved in 'fights' on here?

Hold on. Turns out pricing does make a difference? Been told that's not the case on here.

13 and a bit thousand for the first full capacity game in 18 months was shocking.

1,000 extra folk at the Aberdeen game but 500 tickets were given free to NHS workers and 500 free tickets were available to Junior AberDNA members. Ticket prices were also cheaper so essentially less paying customers paying less money at their game.
Other than all that you have a good point

....?......oops, no you don't.

It was John Hughes and the pundits picked up on it and so did referees who now don't give him the protection he should have by letting off players who flatten him, by not giving deserved yellow cards. Hughes admitted a couple if days ago that he tells his own players do go down if they get the chance.

Boyle is no worse than GMS, Jamie Walker, Edouard, Morelos etc.

Watched it again and one it was no way a penalty and both pundits said so and Stewart said it was a good dive. Hughes calling out of Boyle was disgraceful as he wouldn't have called out an infirm player. Tiresome managers calling out players when they know damn well they have similar players in their team. Also the treatment Boyle gets is way worse than most and will no doubt crank up a notch due to his blistering form. Certainly not yogis finest hour.

Just over 13k attendance being poor was a good point surely? Genuinely thought there would have been more there even with the pricing.

Hard to know what to expect unaccustomed as we are to pandemics.
Certainly a lot of pre pandemic supporters missing on Saturday.
I think if walk ups could have just walked up we might have seen 14,000.
Hope the club can push to attract more folk to our next home game.
I suppose the right result in the Hearts match might help with that.
Also folk back from holiday as well as students back in Edinburgh.

Note at the equivalent game on 24th August 2019 saw 15,315 attend v St Johnstone
So probably down 1,500 Hibs fans from 2 seasons ago given there were very few Livingston fans at Saturdays game so not so bad.

I suspect we have lost a few of the older generation to COVID deaths/issues.

I think all the changes at Aberdeen & the fact that Hearts are just back in the top league increases the sense of anticipation among their supporters.

Hibs aren't making wholesale changes & a repeat of last season's finishes would genuinely be good but obviously catches the imagination less.

Extending Boyle's contract is probably better football wise than signing Scott Brown, but which one (probably) added to the gate?

It'll be interesting see how attendances look as we get further into the season.

Does anyone know why Brian McLauclin repeatedly asked Jacks Ross about some players refusing to get jabbed? I counted 4 questions, two of which were essentially the same question asked again.

After a game like that I’d have thought he would have been spoilt for choice with questions about the match?

Didn't hear that but did hear his sycophantic chat with Robbo and Gordon absolutely cringeworthy. Was akin to Jim White and Laudrup why are you so good.

I felt he really caught Jack Ross off guard a bit, he ended up a little tongue tied.

Not sure if Neilson was tipped the wink after because he instantly shut it down and asked if he wanted to discuss 5-3-2 or 4-4-2.

That pr*ck McLaughlin is always trying to catch JR out. Funny how he doesn't with any Jambos he interviews.

Had to stop listening post-match after they had me believing we'd clung on to a 0-0 draw against the Scottish version of Man City in front of a crowd and atmosphere more raucous than Boca Juniors or Olympiacos.

***Paul1642*** · 12-09-2021 09:19 PM

Celtic manager was asked the same thing after their game. Just a topic if choice I guess. Not directed only at us.

***BILLYHIBS*** · 13-09-2021 07:38 AM

Kevin Van Veen can’t help but be impressed with this guy

Fantastic against us

One goal one assist on Saturday

Runs himself ragged chasing down defenders and constantly being a pain in the bum and a tower of strength in defence

Reminds me of what we are missing without Doidge

Worth keeping an eye on

Because he’s a jumbo walloper. Couldn't bring himself to be positive about Hibs contribution to the match so tried to catch JR out for a potentially negative quote.
