The Almighty Hibernian FC’s European Tour 2021/22

The last 25 mins was an absolute shitshow.

From looking like we might score another after the equaliser to then going down to 10 men and losing two shocking goals in quick succession. 
 

Bringing on Gogic because we have no other centre backs just shows how bad we’re lacking in depth. Desperately need at least 2 more defenders in unless Ross is hoping for Cadden to be Mcginn’s back up.

We looked good after the equaliser and it was anyone's game at that point. Predictably we folded like a cheap deckchair after McGregor's clownshoes.

We need 2 centre backs, a left back if Doig goes and a RB to challenge McGinn. Said this last week, but both him and Gogic have gone backwards.

Working, so didn't watch that. Just had glances at updates.

For all him getting pelters for his post above, Rjc-1988 does have a point.

Since the break-up of the Tornadoes, which was 45 seasons ago now😮, Mount Hibernian - the Hibees' highest point in Europe - remains a UEFA Cup 1st Round win over Videoton. Videoton's European pedigree was entirely down to one miracle season 5 years earlier, when they despatched Dukla, PSG, Partizan, Man.U & Zeljeznicar en route to losing the UEFA Cup Final to Real Madrid. Beating Asteras Tripolis - the 5th-best team in Greece - is the only win that rivals it.

Neither 'Well - nor anyone else who's finished 2nd in Scotland - should lose to Stjarnan. Killie losing to Morrison's hammerthrowers and Hearts losing to a bloody Maltese outfit are not the only other embarrassments. Saintees shouldn't be losing in the Baltics.

I mind the Arabs being pumped by Finns, the Pars losing at home to Icelanders and Gretna losing 5-1 at "home" to Derry City in the Noughties.

The Sheep haven't shagged up since losing to Bohemians. This seems to be the point with Scottish clubs. It appears to take a few seasons of consistent European competition to become streetwise enough to compete with more technically adept continental sides. 

Scottish "provincials" (in Recordspeak😡) haven't beaten anyone from a significantly higher level for a very long time. 

I'm not checking countries of comparable size & tradition to Scotland. I can think of a few decent Irish results in the past decade or so though. Shamrock Rovers KO'd Partizan, Dundalk beat BATE Borisov, Cork City beat Häcken and St.Pat's got past Elfsborg, Karagandy, Krylia Sovetov & Siroki Brijeg over a few seasons the last time they were title contenders. Even in the "Celtic Tiger" years, the L.o.I. wasn't close to the Scottish Premier League - and all those results have been since the late-Noughties credit crunch.

It's a shite state of affairs and all the fresh air in the world won't make any difference.
