Remember the old adage- make friends on the way up, you'll meet them on the way down. Aye , think he looked for an easier option knowing up here he would have the second biggest budget in a 2 horse race and thought it would be easy street to further his career. At Wolves he could see a hard job in order to compete with many sides in the Premier League. Wolves must be breathing a huge sigh of relief! A number of players and managers come North of the border in order to get a quick stepping stone back up in the English Leagues. Don't think he realised what pressure is put on the managers of both uglies especially if you lose a game to one of the rest of the League never mind two as happened on Saturday v the sheep. He also lost the Celtic game but I felt they were unlucky in that game. Incidentally one player who is taking their chance is Owen Beck, a young lad who is on loan from Liverpool at Dundee FC.........watched him on Saturday against us and he is going to be some player. He plays left back and reminded me a little of Andy Robertson at his parent club and I can see him taking a similar path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best value for money "hospitality" ticket I ever bought was at Mosset Park. £30 for a open bar for an hour before kick-off (and nice local stuff from the taps, too, not just the cheap bottled shite), a dodgy microwaved pre-game pie and a plate of bourbon biscuits in the "Chairman's Lounge" at halftime. The game was absolutely awful, of course. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be only be behind the likes of Messi and Ronaldo with penalties scored in career, one of the great benefits of playing for Rangers in Scotland. According to transfermarkt it is 59 scored 15 missed so he is no Jedinak either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhavenhibby Posted November 28, 2023 Visiting Supporter Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) He is actually tenth in the table for penalties behind such players as Shearer, Lampard, del Piero, Ronaldhino et al. VAR has allowed both Celtic and Rangers to be given penalties when they need them most.........ie: as in the Aberdeen game where they were given one 2 minutes into added time in order to get a draw. I'm not saying it wasn't a penalty by the laws of the game as Goldson did get his shirt pulled, however that type of infringement happens at nearly every corner in the League , yet VAR are only ever all over it when one of the uglies need something. On Saturday there were more blatant shirt pulls against Hearts and Miller for Hibs but nothing was looked at or checked..........however if that was Celtic or "The Rangers" they most certainly would have been. Football fans from the rest of the League just want some consistency..........there is actually nothing wrong with VAR but the problem lies with those enforcing it. As for the dives , both are blatant cheating and in my eyes a match ban should be enforced............Cantwell never even got booked! Problem is players often don't even get booked and often they result in a penalty so they will continue to try their luck.........Cantwell in the game before the Aberdeen one went down supposedly brought down by the goalkeeper which replays showed no contact but VAR still gave a penalty to "The Rangers". One final stat for you ........."The Rangers" have had one penalty given against them in 112 League games..........that includes a kick to the head on Joe Newell by the penalty spot by Hagi and a number of Goldson handballs.........all resulting in No Penalty! Now if that had happened at the other end those famous words for those following on Text etc would have come up.........PENALTY TO RANGERS.

newhavenhibby Posted February 15 Visiting Supporter Share Posted February 15 (edited) Warnock got his team selection all wrong last night , going with one central defender and 2 wing backs in the back 3. After finding himself 0 . 3 at home inside 30 minutes!, he changed it and they came back to draw 3 . 3. Could have won it when Miovski "scored" but VAR stepped in.........don't you just love it. The Rangers on the other hand were looking to win by 3 clear goals to take them to the top of the table.........at 90 minutes only being 3 . 1 in front the officials managed to find 12 minutes of injury time despite not having all the lengthy VAR calls that were at the Aberdeen game ( where they only played 7 minutes extra) . The VAR officials must have been looking so hard for any minute "infringement" in the Ross box so as to award a penalty! Well done to Simon Murray for scoring the Ross goal, always liked him here at Hibs. Edited February 15 by newhavenhibby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
