Tekel Towers » Hibs v Utd

Tek · 03/5/2021 5:02 pm

We all know what the line-up will be.

Let's just hope and pray that the performance is more akin to Aberdeen away and we try and play with that attacking intent, that we've rarely seen this season under Mellon.

I think in terms of 'attacking intent' we need to replicate what we did against Aberdeen and then some. Hibs are a totally different animal though. They have real skill and pace out wide and dangerous men in the middle.

I'd bring in Appere for Clark as he was playing wider on the left, but I doubt he will. As you say Tek we pretty much know what the team will be.

Wm Hill has us @ 18/5. Worth a fiver? If we play like we played v Aberdeen it is definitely worth a fiver. Hibs are slight odds-on, 5/6 & the draw which means going to extra time is 12/5.

Anyone any idea when bus leaves???

Lilley01 · 04/5/2021 4:04 pm

We thought we could guess the side and formation in numerous games this season. Not so sure there won’t be a surprise or two in store for us and hibs. I think Mickey would like to do that but lack of depth might stop him.

Pawlett for Clark?

Do we ?
Tell us.
To me Micky's starting X1's can be bit of a lottery.

But I'm picking you mean, barring injuries mean same as v Aiberdeen ?
Deniz
Liam Edwards Reynolds Robson
Fuchs Butch Harkes
Clark McNulty Shanks

I suspect he might be a bit more cagey
Mebbe Pawlett for Harkes,
Although tbf Harkes, Appere, Chalmers on at some stage & use wide open spaces.

We need to stop reading too much into Aiberdeen game.
Yes Micky did get tactics spot on but Sheep were complete shite.

I'd be very surprised if it's not the same line-up for the 3rd match running.

He seems to have little faith in Chalmers or Appere despite the whole schtick about our Academy and promoting Youth.

Only other two players he would possibly start is Pawlett or Sporle. And it would seem the latter is out of favour.

It can't just be that when we lose we are shite, but when we win its only cos the other team were shite. We played fucking well against the sheep and could have doubled the score. That's not only down to them being shite I'm afraid.

Too many people over reacting to us losing a game that means fuck all in comparison to the semi final. The players were clearly just going through the motions on Saturday and will be a helluva lot more motivated this coming weekend. We may well still lose even if we play to our potential, but Hibs were also shite at the weekend so their fans will likely be saying all the same shit we are. The pressure is all on them imo, I hope to fuck that works in our favour 👍

ADS: Doing the quotes within quotes thing does my head in so I'll quote you direct: " It can't just be that when we lose we are shite, but when we win it's only cos the other team were shite. We played fucking well against Sheep and could have doubled the score. That's not only down to them being shite I'm afraid. "

That's no what I meant, that said I agree with you.
Micky got tactics spot on, we played best free flowing attacking football all season (tbf we were allowed to.) We were good all over the park. We scored 3 well executed goals and could have had more.

History though.
History we can learn from and go to Hampden wi' confidence, wi the knowledge that we can do it, and wi' the same attacking intent. Shows we can win.
But let's no kid ourselves, Hibs on Saturday are going to be a whole lot tougher nut to crack.

Maybe so, but they have also had their fair share of poor results this season, all we need is one more on Saturday. I'm thinking of bunging my wage on Hibs to go through. Shite odds but I'm bound to lose anyway and guarantee us a cup final 👍

If you all wouldn't mind having a whip round afterwards so I don't starve that would be very much appreciated 😂

That’s made my year going to tannadice today

Missing it loads and that felt like some sort of normality, singing united songs , seeing boys you only ever see at football on a Saturday

Superb

Should be 10,000 allowed into tomorrow's match.

Absolute nonsense that there will be no-one there in a stadium as huge as Hampden.

bowers · 07/5/2021 11:31 pm

Great to see young and old there on the footage. Amazing turn out and fully appreciated from the players.

Once again the fans have done our bit its now over to the players.

Can't remember the last time I was so wound up about a game, it's because we can't watch it live in person. I actually can't stand watching us live on TV.

Spot on Tek it's an absolute disgrace. As none of the Glasgow two are involved nobody will question the the SFA/SNP about it.

Would agree with that I hate watching UTD live matches on TV you cant really see what's going on. FFS let the fans back in now.

The government said if the SFA had come with a proposal they would have tried to work something out.

SFA couldnt be bothered, basically.

Because of the low numbers allowed in discussions with the government , possibly only 500 per side . It would cost the SFA money to host the game, hence why their not interested

Has anyone considered Premier Sports part in all this, probably being cyniclal here but would they make as much money through subscription if fans were allowed in? Wouldn't think Doomcaster would take much convincing if they were bargaining for the rights for next year! Also the bigotfest gigs seem to be earlier in the cup these days, could it be they don't want one of them put out early and miss out on their ugly sisters payday?
