Mars plastic Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The caley stadium, very tinpot. The worst in the top flight by quite a distance, well, maybe apart from Hamilton. Be happy to see both of them relegated actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotter Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 It absolutely has to be Hibs. There are many contenders for the exact reason why, but the winner has to be the fact that Hibs held a relegation party for us, got pumped, and then managed to get relegated themselves. You literally could't make that up The tinpot manner in how they managed to do it is almost completely unbelievable. They spunked every single chance to stay up that came their way, and only managed to take 11 points in the 19 games between January 2nd and the end of the season. 11 points out of a possible 57, including an end of season run which looked like DLLLLLLDLL. In the end, they finished off 11th on just 35 points after 38 games, so they didn't even manage to average a point a game all season. They were 1 win away from staying up, as Partick Thistle finished on 38 points, but with a GD of only 1 better than Hibs, a win somewhere in the season would have swayed it. In fact, in the 3rd last game of the season, Hibs and Partick drew 1-1, so if they had a managed to not be completely shite in this game alone, they'd have stayed up. But alas, that is not the Hibs way. Then there's the simple tinpot manner of the way in which they managed to get themselves relegated. After leading 2-0 in the first leg against a Championship team, they clearly thought the job was done. Their fans were once again being cocky, and the thought that Hamilton might be able to put just 2 goals against their completely shite team didn't even cross their mind for some reason. In the return leg, Jason Scotland, a man who the Hibs fans chose to abuse from the stands, with the first karma-tastic kick in the baws had them sweating, but they held out for almost the whole game. 2-1 would still see Premiership football return to Easter Road the following season, and Hibs were playing like a team that were desperate to hold out for the 1-0 loss. But Hibs, once again proving that they are the most tinpot teams out of all the tinpot teams, comically done their usual. In the 3rd minute of added time, with what was pretty much the last throw of the dice, Jason Scotland turned provider and played the ball to Tony Andreu who done exactly what every non-Hibs supporting football fan expected to happen, and equalised the tie. The laughter from Gorgie had windows rattling in their frames as far away as the Top of the Walk, but that was not all that Hibs had to offer. Hibs continue to shit themselves for another half an hour, and a different referee may have given Andy Ryan a penalty for what Willie Collum interpreted (probably correctly) as a dive, but for once the luck was with them. There may have been a penalty down the other end for a foul on Liam Craig, but this is Hibs, and the cruel mistress of comedy had other ideas for them. In the classic Hibernian way, they managed to put all the pressure on themselves with the very first spot kick, with Kevin Thompson forgetting that the idea of a penalty is to put the ball past the goalkeeper, and not straight at him. Accies score their first 4 which means the pressure is almost at bursting point. Who else steps up, but ex-Jambo Jason Cummings, who had obviously taken advice from the same school of Footballing Excellence as Thompson, and he puts the ball in exactly the same place leading to an easy save for the Hamilton keeper, and the sweet release of tears from the Hibs faithful, who will tell you that they didn't see it coming, but in their heart of hearts, they all did. The explosion of laughter from Gorgie levelled half of the West End of the city, and the boos from Leith caused a disturbance which measured at around a 6.5 on the Richter Scale. The award for the most tinpot thing ever seen in football absolutely must go to Hibernian F.C. Also, don't forget that without our fifteen point deduction, we would've actually finished on 38 points, three points above them. Which as an aside shows that we probably could've lived with either the transfer ban OR the points deduction, but not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
