Clyde1998 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 5 minutes ago, dandydunn said: It wasn’t really well honed though, they were just limping it up the park, hitting anything that moved and playing for free kicks for the forst 60 minutes. If that’s what big bucks in the epl is, then I’m glad to watch football up here. I've watched some pretty awful stuff down south in the few of years with Reading; the last couple of years, this has been our plan B tactic when the plan A of passing the ball across the back line until the opposition got bored didn't work. It's almost been inversely proportional the quality of football being played and the amount of money the club has - you can tolerate it when it gets results, but eventually sides will work out how to beat them. In the Premier League it's hardly surprising that the smaller clubs play dull football, like Burnley, because there's more chance of getting results (and therefore staying in the money league) by playing like that - they, financially, can't risk playing more entertaining football, as there would be more chance of being beaten. I managed to watch a couple of non-league cup matches last season - going to a few games in Thatcham Town's run en-route to winning the FA Trophy - and the difference in entertainment is unbelievable when compared to the crap I've seen in the top two levels in England for the past few seasons.

Winning 3-2 with a goal in injury time with Sir David Gray on the scoresheet? Yup Hibs being Hibs!🇳🇬🇳🇬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu101 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Happy with that. Defence looking better - first time seemingly that Osijek haven't scored in a home European tie since 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he was higher up the ladder than Lindegaard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debian Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 3 decent results. Hibs must be Hoping that they've mentally done the Greeks with their comeback. Sheep aren't out of it and will take confidence. We created little, but deserved it. Just. Tav is a bombscare and thank God goldson is a player. Coulibalys tackle for anyone who hasn't seen... search it and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavernier is a bombscare Flanagan is quite good defensively but his distribution has Tavernierish qualities which is a wee bit concerning.

I thought he got done a couple of times when he got too close to the attacker. One in the second half when the guy done him right on bye line was particular bad!

As decent as the results are tonight the likelihood is that both Aberdeen and Hibs will crash out now..... disappointing. I don't think hibs are likely to go out. They are winning in the tie. It would be disappointing if Aberdeen went out, but so far they have competed very well vs a team with many times their budget. Showing teams like Celtic that it can still be done!

Catchart Circle Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 It was the Burnley invasion of Aberdeen as they took over the city centre. I walked all the way along Union Street from the Justice Mill to King Street around 4pm and was amazed at the ammount of claret given their allocation of 2,030 tickets. They took over the Castlegate and surrounding pubs, including the Archibald and Simpson, were full of them. One I spoke to after the match said they had brought 4,000 north with half of them watching the game on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castlegate was the fanzone, but I think they were dotted around a few more places away from it too. Will be the same next week, think we’ve got 2,500 or so tickets, with a load going without.

We should be proud of that. And Bobby Russell was my favourite pler when I was young btw.!! But the Dons support was brilliant. I am looking forward to the Dons Gers game. There is a minutes silence/applause for Neil Cooper. That will be special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
