Hibsclaret

We had our best season ever at championship level last season and have followed it up with a struggle but (to me at least) a season where we are improving whilst playing a possession based style. I watched us at Everton and preferred to watch a team using possession than one waiting for mistakes fro...

Hibsclaret

And yet for all the doom we may just basically need to be within 2 points of Forest before the final game. You can still point to refereeing decisions that would have kept us up and we are certainly a better team now than we were in August. Some of the football in the first half against a team that’...

Hibsclaret

It’s not irrelevant to the fairness of the competition. In fact they should refer it to VAR to ensure we don’t have any more controversy.

Hibsclaret

Fingers in the air, how many points can we deduct from Everton to make sure they stay up? Absolute joke that there is no clear and obvious amount of points to be deducted for breaching PSR rules. The lunatics are running the asylum.

Hibsclaret

Don’t mind. We’ll probably break Reading’s record next season so it won’t matter.

Hibsclaret

We were nowhere near as bad as people are making out. Spice sums it up pretty well in terms of the mental and physical fatigue of a 3 game week. The game was decided on one mistake when we were clearly the better of the teams. We then can’t reply with ten on the pitch after a second mistake. The mai...

Hibsclaret

We can compare Dyche and Kompany all day but yesterday showed why a lot of Burnley fans wanted the change when Dyche left. You can only play with the ball for a third of the time and rely on opposition errors and set pieces for so long. I have no doubt Dyche will get less time at Everton than he got...

Hibsclaret

As one of Dyche’s biggest fans I watched the game on a stream yesterday and thought I would rather watch a team play with 63% possession than his team with 37% irrespective of the result. Everton were turgid in the first half and were gifted a goal. We were much better than them until the mistake wh...

Hibsclaret

Foul for me. However there is no consistency. When there’s a slight touch on the leg they tend to give it as VAR slows the thing down to show a touch. If the touch is on the ball we don’t do that then? They make it up as they go along.

Hibsclaret

Villa player shoved in the box. No pen. What’s the difference between that and the Chelsea pen Darren?

Hibsclaret

Interesting that none of the three in the team of the week made the Garth Crooks lineup. He’s such a great judge of performance. Coming back twice at Stamford Bridge and deserving to win is not enough for any of our gallant ten to be included. I reckon Stevie Wonder could do a better job than Crooks...

Hibsclaret

It shows what transfer fees are though because Enzo went for 107m and was worse than pretty much the whole Burnley team on Saturday.

Hibsclaret

If Darren England reffed this match he would have needed to decide who he was supporting beforehand and been biased accordingly.

Hibsclaret

No issue with him letting the game flow and not have yellows. However, this needs to be applied across all matches. You don’t have to go back very far to see the polar opposite being applied. That’s the biggest problem, consistency, of which there is very little.

Hibsclaret

The City Arsenal game is 30 mins old and Arsenal should have at least 2 bookings. If that was us we would have. That’s exactly how they referee the top teams differently.

Hibsclaret

Quite simply we win the game with a different ref/var. Not the first time this has happened this season. In fact we have lost almost half as many points as our current total in games that would have had different outcomes with better/fairer refs. You can only conclude that incredibly poor referee bi...

Baldilocks and the 3 bares

Hibsclaret

Getting almost 14 runs an over makes an absolute mockery of the art of bowling. It may be entertaining to a point but the game has gone a bit mad tbh.

Hibsclaret

I’m sure we had a game called off at Chesterfield some years ago probably around late 80’s or so. I remember getting to saltergate and seeing the spire and driving straight back. Complete waste of time, I think it was around Christmas/New Year too.

Hibsclaret

City have been in profit since making a loss of circa 130m in the COVID season so they haven’t breached the 105m loss over 3 consecutive seasons threshold since those rules were in force.

Both Chelsea and City have good accountants ensuring that they appear within the limits.

Hibsclaret

Hard to see how they can’t end up over the 105m loss limit given they lost a combined 125m in the previous 2 seasons. They would need to post a 20m profit in accounts for the relegation season when they binned Rodgers. If they comply with the process and don’t whine too much (which they already appe...

Hibsclaret

When are they getting more points deducted?

Hibsclaret

Absolutely. Lots of hope. Leicester needed snookers the year before they won the title and won 8 or so out of the last 10 games.

Hibsclaret

The key questions are can we get 6 more points than Luton and 5 more than Forest. Definitely in our own hands which is what you want and beating Forest would mean actually only 2 points more than them is needed from the other matches. Definitely doable and I think the next 3 are absolutely crucial. ...

Hibsclaret

We are 11/2 to stay up. Far from an impossible task. We can do it.

Hibsclaret

The other thing she said was the best thing that Muric did all game was the foul on Toney which would likely have been a penalty if they had not scored in the continued attack. They make someone like Tim Sherwood or Chris Sutton sound half knowledgeable.

Hibsclaret

I'm glad you understood what she was saying, she was talking faster than I could listen. 🤣 I would have understood it better if she was talking in Swahili tbh. How can anyone with any knowledge of the game, man or woman, describe that goal as a scuffed finish. Incredible really. Such a great goal f...

Hibsclaret

I’d say z listers tbh. One of them just described Fofana’s goal as a scuffed finish.

Hibsclaret

I agree with the op. Many fans wanted a change of style at the end of the Dyche era and playing a possession based game in the premier league with an inexperienced and regularly changed team is the reason we haven’t been good enough. We now have a younger squad with the ability to improve. We lost a...

I call him Houdini. It’s incredible how you can watch a game and not even notice him. I think the bloke on the podcast called Brownhill the ghost last week but this guy is haunting the bl00dy place out atm. As for blaming the rest of the team for Houdini’s performance, he needs to find space and wor...

Don’t worrY we have VAR to do the badge check.

Such an easy one for VAR to overturn too. Incredible

Hibsclaret

You have to laugh now. A penalty for intent when there is no touch. Any ideas whether we get a pen for exactly the same non contact incident at the other end. Incredible how they have the barefaced cheek to give us scandalous decisions week on week. There is no touch on the player and so it is not a...

Seriously think we signed the wrong Ramsey. Like others disappears for weeks then suddenly back in the team.

Should’ve signed Gordon. At least the pies would’ve been tastier

Hibsclaret

Blaming Vitinho for the goals on Wednesday is a new low for on here. He was up against probably the quickest player in the league who created nothing. None of the goals were the fault of Vitinho who has played his part in us looking more solid over the last couple of months. As for Roberts he has do...

I’ve just watched the clip. Why do they insist on watching from all angles in slow motion? This particular decision needed full speed videos from all angles. The slow motion examples make it seem less of a foul (although still looks a foul to me). The game is played at full speed and assessment of t...

I’d expect Jasmine as well as the tea for 25 notes tbh

I don’t think there was contact and still they give it. Happens every game. Appalling.

Hibsclaret

The worst thing of all is when you watch a game for 5 minutes and immediately realise we are going to get nothing out of the game (and we’re not playing Man C).

Hibsclaret

Yeah I don't think impugning Atwell's integrity is acceptable, personally. Debate his decision making by all means. As for blaming Burnley players - I criticised Ramsey. His touch and demeanour are too laid back. He doesn't match Duran's intensity and he can and should get rid first time. But Treso...

Hibsclaret

If that pen is at the other end it doesn’t get given by Attwell and then VAR go with the onfield decision (no pen). If you support Luton and you clearly want Villa to win the game you give the onfield decision so that VAR have to go with it (pen). Same incident, 2 different outcomes depending on who...

Hibsclaret

The handball decision is something else. Apart from making it up as they go along the key difference between our nonsense disallowed goal at Forest versus the nothing given against their defender yesterday is one is done by an attacker and the other a defender. It seems as if accidental handball lea...

Hibsclaret

Impeccable performance. There was little or no back chat. Gave decisions to both teams throughout with no obvious bias at all. The most important thing of all is that you never really noticed her and that’s exactly what you want from a ref.

We need to finish above 3 teams. Probably the 2 we have beaten and the one we should have done if the officials had done their job properly. 4th bottom is very possible.

Sheff U beat Wolves by 1 goal.

We beat Sheff U by 5 goals.

6 nil I’m expecting and nothing less.
