    The hardly unbiased Clarets Player commentators saying it was a dive. And then going mad when a Claret was "blatantly" held down the other end without a call.

      Assuming that going from Pope/Heaton to Lindegaard is somewhat disappointing to Clarets fans.

        Pope wouldn't be playing if Heaton hadn't done his calf earlier this week. I think he only came back to the squad this week.

        Dons up 1-0 at half time. Sounds like they are worth it.

          Hibs 2 down at home at half time, Rangers looking competent but unspectacular in Osijek. Not many upsets so far, maybe Kairat Almaty 2-0 AZ Alkmaar is a surprise?

            As is Balzan of Malta beating Slovan Bratislava. Dundalk 0-0 at home to Larnaca at HT, while Ljubljana lead Crusaders 4-1 with time almost up.

              Santa Coloma extend their record as the only Andorran side to win a European game (now 3 wins) and keep a clean sheet with their 1-0 win over Valur.

                Sam Vokes makes it 1-1. Crucial away goal.

                  An excellent comeback by Hibs at home to Asteras, prevailing 3-2, after trailing 0-2. Dundalk finish scoreless, giving them a 67% chance of progression in Cyprus.

                    Finished 1-1. Happy with that.

                      It's just occurred to me that this match was AFC v BFC, which is nice.

                      Thread title says 2018/18, by the way. Is that a typo or are you abandoning hope of being in the competition at the business end?

                        Yes, terrific stuff from Hibs to give themselves a chance of progressing.
                        Listening to the 2nd half of the game from Pittodrie and the commentators praising Sam Cosgrove just makes me even more frustrated that Keith Curle never really gave him a chance at Carlisle last season.

                          You should have heard the Clarets Player commentator opinion of him. Will be interesting to watch him play next week.

                            Yes and Yes.

                              When we took him on trial after Wigan released him he looked like he’d blow over in a stiff breeze, but he got sent off about 2 minutes into his Dons debut for a foul on Scott Brown, so he’s certainly increased his physical presence.

                                I went to the Hibs game tonight. Definitely a game of two halves. Hibs were poor in the first half, those around me blaming team selection and playing players out of position. A couple of adjustments at half time produced a much better performance, no doubt helped by an early goal. Once the second went in it almost seemed inevitable that Hibs would get the winner, although several people around me had left by the time it was actually scored. On full time we got a bonus reenactment of The Birds as the gull population of Edinburgh came looking for scraps of pie.

                                If Hibs are to hold on in Greece next week they will have to tighten up at the back - it should be recalled that they conceded four in their previous away game in the Faeroes; I don't think they can rely on scoring six next week.

                                  Having seen the replay, he definitely still blows over in a stiff breeze.

                                    Ha, I'd take that DR!

                                    Scrappy but entertaining enough game, both sides with the odd chance. 'Highlight' of the match though was Dundalk's Pat Hoban receiving a yellow card for dissent, then a red card......... then being called back from his trudge to the dressing room as the ref had made a mistake and he hadn't previously been booked.

                                        As an occasional optimist I'm tipping Crusaders for an Olympian 1-1 draw

                                          Dundalk crash out 4-0. Meanwhile, TNS are currently being eliminated on aggregate by Lincoln Red Imps.

                                            The good news for TheRedMax is that Lindegaard starts.

                                              Would Wood put the Clarets ahead? Yes, he would.

                                                Hibs take the lead; now 4-2 up on aggregate. Asteras player sent off.

                                                  TNS went through.
