For 13 wins in a row? I’d take that.

Ditto. Something we can only dream of.

Aye but are they sheite to watch, or foul players when they are breaking and strangling the life out of games, if so we want none of that pish at Easter Rd.

We're also sheite to watch and strangle the life out of games by making too many unnecessary passes, allowing the opposition plenty of time to organize themselves off the ball.

I'd much rather see us play sheite the Aberdeen way tbh.

To be fair, they average two goals a game in the league and three goals a game in the cup so they must be doing a bit more than just strangling the life out of things. If we had a manager getting that from the team whilst winning 13 on the bounce, I’m sure we could all put up with a wee bit time wasting or whatever.

Didn’t know that. Why is it so fierce?

It's been like that for decades.

Sevilla seen as the aristos and their owner (Sanchez Pizjuan) in the 1940s - 1960s pulled a few strings with the local council to their benefit. Betis core support was from the poorer south/east part of Seville (Triana). This has kind of diluted over the years with Betis now having the bigger support and just as wealthy as Sevilla. Both clubs however, have had financial/regulation problems in the past.

There was an incident in 1990s when 3 or 4 Sevilla players assaulted some Betis supporters outside a nightclub. Went to court and think some players were fined/suspended.

Volatility reached it's peak in the 1990s/2000s when the two owners Del Nido (Sevilla) & De Lopera (Betis) despised each other to the point the derby games were toxic. Hence the frozen wine bottle thrown over the Sevilla manager's head. Also caused a fair bit of bother between both ultras in the clubs.

It calmed down slightly when a Sevilla player (Puerta) collapsed on the pitch and later died, not at a derby game. This led to a reconcilliation between Del Nido & De Lopera.

It is still the fiercest derby in Spain.

Whatever they're doing, it's effective and it gets results. Where as we carry this myth that our "brand" of football is the right way to play and we're just really really unlucky. When in reality, our brand of football doesn't deliver results and isn't even good to watch in the modern game. There is such a thing as trying to do too much on the ball and sometimes less is more, something that as a club we need to come to terms with.

As I said, if we had a manager getting results, it wouldn’t be an issue. I know some folk like to go back to Jack Ross but he got the sack once the results stopped, for the type of run that sees most managers in trouble (and not just at Hibs).

We rarely have such a manager. It seems that when we bring a manager in, they're instructed on the "Hibs way" of how the team needs to play, rather than being left to implement their own way. As long as we're locked into the same style as a club, we'll ultimately keep getting the same kind of results. The game has moved on over time and we need to move on with it.

Think blackpoolhibs is being sarcastic ie referring to the reasons why some posters wouldn't want McInnes at ER despite him being the most successful Sottish manager in our league by a mile.

Making very hard work of it. These European nights are definitely making things difficult for them.

Cracking goal.

And at the end of the weekends activities we have Hearts bottom of the league and Hibs 3rd bottom, not wanting to be overly negative but that is a shocking situation for the 2 city clubs.

[Donegal Hibby]

Has to be a red card for that

[Hiber-nation]

Should be a 10 game ban. Scandalous challenge.

[Coco Bryce]

Dirty *******!

[Donegal Hibby]

That’s as bad a tackle I’ve seen this season.

[cabbageandribs1875]

I think the “Hibs way” of playing is something that only exists in the minds of some fans. I’d highly doubt any new manager is briefed on this myth - or instructed to play in any specific way.

Who on earth would be instructing this? Zero chance this happens. Hibs have played free flowing football in about 4 of the last 50 years. Hibs style doesn't exist.

Naw, and vuvuzelas should be encouraged as accompaniments. They'd pair well with all of the trumpets in the stands...

Did Mixu. It try to make us hard to beat but ultimately failed in that an entertainment so was given the heave. Maloney on the opposite side of the spectrum…

I think as a support we’ve become even more fickle. I’d draw some parallels to an extent with Aberdeen’s tussle with previous history being out of synch with current performance and expectations so the managerial door revolves/
