    I think some fans of European teams seem to think they invented atmosphere.

    8,000 capacity stadium with a bit of noise isn't going to give us much trouble on that front compared with Tynecastle, Ibrox etc.
    That said, Hibs fans were very quiet last night. Maybe would have made a difference had they not been

    Often wondered, instead of kicking the ball out if an opponent appears injured, why don't we boot it back towards their keeper. It then puts the liability onto him to put the ball out or not and we then get possession back from the throw.

    Because if they are intent on wasting time he'd probably waste a few seconds before booting it back into the stand as far as he could from their goal line.

    Interesting given some of the treatment handed out to Martin Boyle last night the Rijeka fan talks about not being used to playing at such a physical level…..

    Would rather leave it to the ref to stop the play. Also if you put the ball out for one of your players to get treatment the other team should not be obliged to give it back.

    No problem, so when we do not kick the ball out in second leg because we think that Your player is acting, You will not be angry. I can accept that.

    Reason that we slowed down could be physical intensity of the game. Tempo was not so fast but intensity was. As I said, we are usually not playing on such intensity.
    Play acting of the level we saw last night is extremely uncommon in Scottish football. Players who get a reputation for it tend to get a fair amount of criticism and either leave or tone it down a bit.

    If we're leading by one goal going into the final few minutes, we might do it a bit, just as a treat.

    Must’ve been lost in translation sure he meant to say “We believed our own hype, didn’t treat you with enough respect and thought all we had to do was turn up and beat a long ball team that’s nowhere near our level”

    Found it hilarious how their manager called us a long ball team just for me to be subjected to their left back launching at least 4 long diagonals out of play in the first half alone.

    Rijeka service information

    I know that some of You are coming here, so here are some service info I hope You will find useful.

    Language

    Many Croats speak fluent English, especially young ones (do not speak Scottish although ) so You will not get lost

    Currency

    Official currency is Croatian Kuna (HRK), it is not allowed to pay in another currency. In the town centre there are many small exchange offices (Croatian word is Mjenjačnica), fastest and most favorable way to change money.

    Cash or credit cards

    Cash is still received everywhere and often is a preferable way of payment (especially in bars). Of course, credit cards will be accepted but before starting to eat and drink check about availability of credit cards, not all bars or restaurants accept them, majority yes, but not all.

    Transport

    Public transport is only by bus. Bus tickets can be obtained in bus or on every kiosk selling newspaper. Since You will be within city limits, Zone 1 ticket is ok.
    Taxi is cheap and most cheapest is Cammeo, You have app for mobile phones to order it. Also, we have Uber here.

    Eat and drink

    Bars are virtually everywhere in the center of the town. There is a long street in the center, Korzo, pedestrian zone. I will not reccomend any because I am not in age anymore going out on weekends and drinking alcohol. You will manage for sure. Working time is up to midnight, covid rules, no exceptions.
    There is a number of small restaurants in the center, especially around central market. So, some names are: Mornar, Antack, Feral, Zlatna školjka, Primorska konoba.... Also, there is a McDonald and few pizzerias in the center.

    Sightseeing

    I am sure that You will not have any time for that, but just two recomendations:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijeka_Tunnel
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trsat_Castle

    Shopping

    Also do not think that You will need this info.
    You can buy food, beer and cigarettes in small stores in the city. Also, kiosks with newspapers sell cigarettes, petrol stations have also beer and cigarettes.
    Regarding shopping malls, two of them within city limits, Tower center (Pećine area) and ZTC center (Mlaka area), both reachable by the bus.

    Sea and sun

    Beaches are on far west (****rida area) and far east (Pećine) parts of the town, within bus zone 1. For football fans beach below our old stadium can be interesting (especially because of beach bar called Morski prasac or Sea pig). Also, above the stadium there is a best fish restaurant in town, konoba Ribica.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadion_****rida

    Rijeka fan shop

    Situated in the center, address is Pavla Rittera Vitezovića 1.

    Souvenir shop

    Most famous one is Poneštrica, address is Trg 128. brigade, close to hotel Bonavia. Only hand made local souvenirs, no made in China or Taiwan. Good choice for Your better halfs at home.

    For beer lovers

    Goblet beer store, address is Andrije Medulića 6. Choice of beers from all around the world.

    If You have additional questions, feel free to ask.
    Cheers for this.

    I have to say Rijeka did come across as an argogant bunch pre match and I thought they looked nothing special last night. Would love it if we turned them over next week. Late winner from Doidge from a long ball

    Well, this is a difference comparing to our league. It is normal to kick the ball out, not to judge if someone is cheating or not. In many ocassions even ref stops the game.
    One of your players was rolling around after the ball hit him on the shin. 😂. I’d expect your very noisy fans to boo him for that nonsense.

    That was a bit of a buzz last night. We could have won comfortably having made a few good chances and slipping up only once, but wasn't to be. Maybe this team needs just a wee bit longer to gel and looking forward to the rest of the season and beyond.

    What’s the situation about covid testing on way back ? Where do you get these ?

    Also what’s your prediction for the next game ?

    Don't think we should fear going over there next week. Looks like the stadium only really had 3 stands, with a couple rows of terracing behind one of the goals. We've played in more atmospheric grounds and coped.

    Still don't think we tested their keeper enough to really gauge how good he is, as every shot was right at him, and he still palmed it straight to Boyle for the goal. They also don't look solid at the back, especially defending set pieces.

    Much more confident than I was before yesterday. We can do them.
    I think our set pieces have looked very decent this season so far. Good delivery from Magennis and we looked at threat every time.

    Did he not put the ball straight out for a goal kick from a corner last night?

    Covid tests:

    You have a link to Excel file with all info about testing (location, price, working hours, contact etc).

    Game - well, I wouldn't be Rijeka fan if I think that we will loose, wouldn't I?

    I enjoyed the game last night and its good to hear the views of a Rijecka fan.

    I had expected Rijecka to be better than they were. However I suspect at home Rijecka will be a very different proposition. Hibs may regret not taking some of the many chances and taking a lead into the game. 3-1 would have been a fair reflection. Rijecka struck me as being similar to Hibs and would be top 6 in Scotland, show up well in cups but wouldnt be good enough to challenge rangers or celtic.

    I am with others though who were very frustrated by and dont like the game disruption tactics and thats not the way the game should be played but sadly it is the way it now goes and we just have to deal with that. We do have to accept that Boyle did do similar for the 3rd booking so we are not innocent.

    However, it is all to play for and Hibs are more than capable of scoring and in fact may be more ,likley to score when the onus is on Rijecka to play a more open game and leave space for Hibs to exploit.

    My main regret is on travel restrictions as I would have quite liked a mini break

    Once only. Everything else was on the button. Best set piece delivery we've had in years imo.

    We will get at least a couple of good chances over there, whether we take them or not thats the issue.

    He was a liability without the ball though. Talented on it no doubt.

    Think we missed a huge opportunity last night. On the balance of the play and chances, I would say that we're a much better team than HNK Rijeka. It really frustrates me why we suddenly think because a team comes from Croatia that they are world beaters. They were tidy and moved the forward well, after a shaky start but the were nothing special. On another day, Hibs could have scored four goals.

    I'm fully expecting Hibs to win over in Croatia - theonlywayisup.

    Re the trying to disrupt play by staying down, as clear as day they were at it. Every time, the ref could see that. Once their player realised that they were not going to get the foul, they were up and back into position without even the need for the magic sponge. Cheats, they are.

    Focus on the positives, let other focus on the negatives.

    your player was not injured, he tried to stop play and when he realised the referee didn't fall for the cheating he got up

    I noticed JR sounding quite confident in our away record, which albeit very good, was built up in empty stadiums across Scotland during the pandemic.

    I think a packed, hot cauldron of a ground in Croatia might be a different challenge altogether.

    Really hope we don’t rue all those missed chances as they will be a different side at home.

    I think a packed, hot cauldron of a ground in Croatia might be a different challenge altogether.

    Really hope we don’t rue all those missed chances as they will be a different side at home.
    Is Rijeka a hot cauldron?
