Certainly going to be the biggest game of season so far. pretty sure we will have other games in planning but I think with COVID risks he is being reasonably sensible in his approach.

sheepcrooky Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Hibs now only getting 2,000 at Easter Road for friendly v Arsenal after thinking they were getting 6,000. Plus they are charging £26 a pop. Hibees fans not happy. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Club doing fans a favour not letting fans in for pre-season games. 10 times out of 10 they're abysmal (if played at home). Was hard enough watching us play competitive games last season. 1 Link to comment

Geoff_Tipps Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Who the fuck decided to play 2 of our 3 pre season games on the same day? AFC never fail to surprise. Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Maybe only way to get 3 games with COVID measures still in place, would be a good question to ask at next press conference Link to comment

Well normally we rotate the whole squad through single games so majority of the players only get about 45 minutes so this is a decent way of getting all players 90mins but with reasonable rest time. I don’t see the problem. These are professional athletes we are speaking about Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Pre season friendlies are kick abouts regardless. Same every season, we are always going to have to go into these early Euro games pretty cold. playing extra kick about type friendlies aren’t going to change this. Fact we managed to get at least 2 decent enough sides to come to us in prep for a home Europa game is about as good as we could hope really, all things considered & that the manager doesn’t want us traveling. Hes done ok imo Link to comment

Hopefully they’ve cranked it up in training instead and had a bounce game which would have been just as useful. Link to comment

Matty Kennedy for the reds, Lewis Ferguson scored an absolute peach to equalise for the whites. Joe Lewis had a great save to deny Jack Gurr what would have been a dream debut goal. I will watch the second half later 3 1 Link to comment

Maybe the young Irish lad Turner? Link to comment

It finished 1 - 1 after a goalless 15 minute second period. Forgive me for not divulging who was playing in any certain position. Eyes are everywhere..... 2 Link to comment
