Didn't watch the game but I'd hazard a guess they were flying International Brigade or Spanish Republic flags rather than ones that were pro-Franco. left winger and The Big Sleeper 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What politics has to do with football is often up for debate. Franco and the Palestinian cause clearly have nothing to do with football in Scotland - but if they want to wave Palestinian flags, for example, I don’t really care. And we’ve not been averse as a support to have a political element, have we? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the cry was no 3,044 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Watched that last night - learned very little A bizarre performance from Hibs. Their strength is counter attacking with pace on the break. They done that a couple of times and should have scored at least one - absolute sitter by Nisbett. However they spent most of their time passing around at the back, slowing things down and, rather than break quickly, conceding possession in dangerous areas. On 4 or 5 occasions they had space to attack with men up the park and doubled back to pass to their defenders. Strange tactics. Tarriers were ok in spells which translates to world beaters in SMSM. Iniesta had a decent debut if truth be told. Gifted the first and penalty would have been ruled out if we had VAR (chest first then hand) All that matters though is points so, with the benefit of a wee break to clear up some Covid, hamstrings and sign a few, it's certainly a good start for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that covers his bottlers from folding like a cheap suit does it? Saw that miss by hivees then them running up the park and scoring against a non existent spoonburners defence, get your capitulation in early appears to be his mantra looks like against his heroes doesn’t look as suspicious.

Popular Post CoplandRoad83 3,372 Posted January 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2022 The pendulum swings quickly in football. They might be getting carried away after last night, but a win for us tonight and they are looking at a trip to Tynecastle ahead of a game against us they can't afford to drop points in. Huge game for us tonight, and if we win they will be shitin' themselves about a trip to tynecastle. plymouthranger, B1872, markem and 5 others 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
