Odds on Hibs Going Straight Back Up

Good on Hamilton, well deserved

Someone (who don't believe they belong) is going to spend at least two seasons in the Championship

An aside, how quickly did they get through the pen shootout! We've often seen the elite players in 'big' games' take three times as long
 
Well done Hamilton, who I honestly believe are a below average team who'll get relegated by quite a margin next season.But credit where it's due, they were far superior to us yesterday, which is an utter disgrace.

Hibs have already announced Butcher is staying, which I find incredible...all we needed was one victory in the bottom six, just one and he failed.Blame has to be shared though, with the owner,chairman and players all taking their fair share.

Next season I genuinely can't see how we'll get back up, but I'm awfy sore just now and over the course of the next few weeks my opinion might change.I doubt it will, though.
 
Fair play for posting while its still so raw

I had 10 months to get used to the idea of championship football for Hearts (& even after 2 months I still dreamed)

I do think Hibs being there will help make the Championship more exciting next year and the race for Europe aside it'll make the league more exciting than the SPL with likely a 4 way race for top two spots

After THAT semi and THAT final I actively looked for jambo friends and neighbours and fronted up, I was never gonna hide from anyone when it came to my club.I'm ashamed to admit last night and this morning I hid from them deliberately.I'm ashamed of what my club has become, how they've let me down at each and every opportunity they've had.

Look at Rangers and Hearts, now our direct competitors.Both have sought success by over spending and they've seen trophies won and had outstanding days out.Then compare to Hibs, been frugal to the extreme, sold talent and replaced with guff.

I have to ask the question, who was right and who was wrong as my previous belief that we were right looks to be misplaced.
 
Going back to the split I honestly couldn't see Hibs getting relegated but they have got on a nightmare run. Even at 2-0 from the first leg I didn't think they were safe but they should have been able to hang on to that.

HID was at the game yesterday and was pretty resigned to the outcome (grumpy though!). She also said that Hibs were hopeless.

Impossible to say how it'll go next year. I don't think Butcher is a bad manager but he has certainly failed at Hibs so far. Maybe he can move players on and bring some in and turn it round but, yes, I'm a little bit surprised he's getting that opportunity.

Should be an interesting division. Hibs, Hearts, Rangers obviously but the likes of Falkirk can't be dismissed either. Rangers also need to strengthen if they're going to go up but, at the moment, it's impossible to say whether they'll even be in good enough financial shape to play never mind signing any new players. I'd say Hibs could go right back up but it will be much harder than the last time they went down and I won't be betting on it!
 
As the three teams stand at the moment I think Hearts will be favourite for promotion.
There are also some other decent teams in that league Raith, Falkirk etc so it will not be a walk in the park.

There will probably be more interest in the Championship next year with the 2nd, 3rd and 5th most supported teams in Scotland competing.
 
The Scottish Prem and Scottish Football need Rangers to win the title and be promoted - grab some interest again and sponsorship and telly money back into the leagues.

I know what you mean, when administration hit I asked myself if I'd swap that final for the 1-5 point deduction & certain relegation

I was huddled in the back of a pub watching on my laptop on a stream that keep freezing with a Dundee Utd fan at my side as the only Scots in town... and it was incredible!!

In all honesty I couldn't swap it, its why we're fans, its the chance of glory without being an old firm glory hunter, its through the bad times sure but the odd good time helps soo much... I said to myself would you be willing to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here... oops sorry off on a tangent there :)

(p.s. see what I did there with the 15 ;) )

Trouble is it is generally the wrong sort of interest.

The last two seasons have been a breath of fresh air for your average Scottish football fans.
Phil I think you are not up to speed with your views of Scottish fitba.

Scottish football is a one team league with interest outside Scotland very low - that interest is what brings the money into the leagues and the telly money. I believe the league has lost it's sponsor currently and telly deal is very minimal - the snowball effect from the lack of competition could harm the overall league and drop the standard down to the welsh league and loss of European slots.

Unfortunately outside interest doesn't really benefit Scottish football

It does if countries look to purchase the pictures and sponsorship can see the worldwide appeal - that money goes into the Scottish leagues.
