Full Version: Intertoto Would The Bairns Have Done Better Than The Hibbies?

Kircer bairn
Seeing all the weeping and wailing down Easter Road way does get one thinking about whether our beloved bairns would have made a better fist of things against the swedes than Mixu's turnips!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe our slick European passing game and the experience of seasoned campaigners such as McNamara and McCann would have given us a head start agains the kick and rush tactics the Old Reekie Green and Whites employ.............or is that me just seeing things from blue (navy) tinted specs?

Kind of pointless question, Hibs qualififed - you never.

Who's to know what would have happened, I think the fact the Swede's are in full flow of their season the now defo helped them - add to the fact Hibs are pretty rank then its no wonder they won!

This is beginning to become as cliched as when Hibs were the Real Madrid of Scotland. I must be missing this amazing football that Falkirk play.

You would have maybe lost by only 3, because you have a better goalkeeper.

Hibs are an embarrassment.. intertoto failure = international ridicule

Hello btw biggrin.gif

I dunno, but I'm guessing the Hibs fans would've put this in the correct forum.

Scots in Europe for this pish mad.gif

I have no doubts that Falkirk would have done better than Hivs, as they are a superior side at the moment and play better football than Hivs' industrial hoofball. The two are similarly sized clubs.

You're all wee diddy teams to Scotland's Big Three.

Don't think we'd have done any better than Hibs. Given the fact that Elfsborg are a good team by the looks of it and the fact that they hit the ground running. It would have been a hard task for any provincial Scottish club to get a result.

Agreed.

Pointless question and no way to know the answer.

Stop trying to drag Aberdeen into this.

I have no idea whether or not we'd have done better and I don't really care. Falkirk WILL finish above Hibs in the league this year however, of that I am certain.

Sorry, you're right.

All of you except Abergreen are wee diddy teams to Scotland's Big Three, Aberdeen are just slightly outside the elite group.

I reckon this is a distinct possibility, Falkirk will be top 6 this year at the expense of Hibs.

I was really disappointed when we didnt get the InterToto place.

Now it's looking like a blessing in disguise. We'd have lost to Elfsborg and have had to start pre season earlier than we wanted to.
latapythelegend
ive got a feeling we will have some sort of success in at least the cups or by qualifying for europe threw league placing.shame we cant do the treble this year(scottish cup, cis cup & stirlingshire cup)coz the stirlingshire cup has been cancelled so we will just have to settle for the double wink.gif
