2010–11 Guildford Flames season
In the final, the Lightning took the lead, but three Flames goals gave them a two-goal lead heading into the second period. The Lighting powerplay cut the lead to a single goal in the middle frame, and they managed to pull even with about ten minutes to play in regulation time. A Matt Towe major penalty for high sticking looked to have put the Guildford Flames firmly on the back foot, but in an ironic twist, a thwarted shorthanded breakaway by Martin Masa with less than eight minutes to go was awarded a penalty shot. The Czech forward, made no mistake, and calmly tucked the puck home for a 4–3 lead. Nathan Rempel then secured the victory with a last minute empty netter and in the process won the Guildford Flames the EPL playoff title – for the first time in the club's history.

The 2010–11 season was the 100th season in Hajduk Split's history and their twentieth in the Prva HNL. Their second-place finish in the 2009–10 season meant it was their 20th successive season playing in the Prva HNL. It was the third tenure for manager Stanko Poklepović at Hajduk, after he was appointed following Edoardo Reja's departure to Lazio in February 2010.

There were no arrivals during the pre-season transfer window, with players leaving the club or reducing their contractual obligations to ease the club's financial situation. The season started with an eleven-match unbeaten league run, but after three successive defeats in all three competitions during the October, Poklepović was sacked. Youth team coach Goran Vučević was appointed as caretaker manager and eventually signed a two-and-a-half-year contract in December. A four-match run without victory, which started with a defeat by rivals Dinamo Zagreb that diminished hope for a championship title, saw Vučević leaving the club on mutual consent.

2010–11 Haitian general election
Presidential elections were also held. A run-off was originally scheduled for 16 January as no candidate received 50% of the votes cast.

2010–11 Haitian general election
Official results, announced on 21 April 2011, showed Michel Martelly defeating Mirlande Manigat in the second round of the presidential election.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Background
Due to the January 2010 earthquake, Haitian presidential election was indefinitely postponed; although November 28 was then decided as the date to hold the presidential and legislative elections. Following the magnitude 7.0 earthquake, there were concerns of instability in the country, and the election came amid international pressure over instability in the country. The election was termed in the media as a "seismic" one. This would be the third democratic election in Haitian history.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates
The deadline to file candidacy for the elections was August 7.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates
The list of presidential candidates was to have become official on August 17 after the nine-member provisional electoral council was to announce the eligibility criteria. However, the election commission postponed its ruling until August 19 because of disagreement on the electoral law which stipulates that candidates must hold a Haitian passport and have five consecutive years of residence in Haiti, among other requirements. This was to affect Wyclef Jean, Jacques Edouard Alexis, and Leslie Voltaire.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates
The absence of the Fanmi Lavalas (FL) party was notable because of its popular support. Peter Hallward explained: "The final FL list of candidates was endorsed by the party leader (Jean Bertrand Aristide) by fax, but at the last minute the CEP invented a new requirement, knowing FL would be unable to meet it: Aristide, still exiled in South Africa and denied entry to Haiti, would have to sign the list in person."


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates, Wyclef Jean
Musician Wyclef Jean, who left Haiti for the United States at the age of 9, said he is qualified to run for president and was in Haiti to initiate the legal process with lawyers and have his fingerprints taken by the judicial police to run for president. He did, however, declare that "There are a lot of rumors that I am running for president. I have not declared that. If we decide to move forward, I am pretty sure that we [would] have all our paperwork straight."


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates, Wyclef Jean
He added that after discussions with his family he would "decide on what we're going to do because it is a big sacrifice." His aides said he would officially announce his candidacy on CNN in the United States before flying back to Haiti to enter the race. Some analysts predicted Jean's popularity with the youth of Haiti could help him "easily win the presidential election if his candidacy were approved." On 5 August, he officially registered as a candidate for Viv Ansanm ("Live Together") party with the motto "Fas a Fas." ("Face to Face")


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates, Wyclef Jean
The head of the party, Daniel Jean Jacques, confirmed Jean would be the party's candidate for president. Jean spoke of his nomination as "a moment in time and in history. It's very emotional. The United States has Barack Obama and Haiti has Wyclef Jean." He told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that he was running, despite Blitzer's questions about Jean's actual citizenship and passport facts. He also resigned from the chairmanship of Yéle Haiti.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates, Wyclef Jean
He was criticised by Pras Michel, one of his former bandmates in the Fugees, for the decision to run for president. Others criticised him for his lack of political experience and a vague platform he was to have run on. In the United States he was also criticised by Sean Penn and Arcade Fire's Win Butler who said "Technically, [Wyclef Jean] shouldn't be eligible because he hasn't been a resident of Haiti.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates, Wyclef Jean
And I think him not speaking French and not being fluent in Creole would be a really major issue in trying to run a really complex government, like the government in Haiti. It would kind of be like Arnold Schwarzenegger only speaking Austrian and being elected president of the United States after New York City and L.A. had burned to the ground...I think he is a great musician and he really passionately cares about Haiti. I really hope he throws his support behind someone who is really competent and really eligible."


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates, Wyclef Jean
On August 20, 2010, he was deemed ineligible to run for the presidency and his candidacy was rejected by Haiti's Electoral Council. While he accepted the ruling, many supporters protested the decision. He asked his supporters to stay calm in the wake of the ruling. He also responded in saying he would file an appeal and that "[The political establishment] are trying to keep us out of the race." He argued that he could not comply with the law so strictly because President René Préval had appointed him as a roving ambassador in 2007 and he was allowed to travel and live outside the country.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Presidential candidates, Final list of candidates
There were supposed to have been 34 candidates in the preliminary race but a Haitian political website came up with 38.

President René Préval told the UN, "It is important that we take this difficult process to a conclusion, with rigour, equality, and transparency, essential conditions for consolidating our young democracy. I therefore call on all the national stakeholders and our overseas friends so we can successfully cross this electoral crossroads together."


2010–11 Haitian general election, Campaign
Two issues for candidates to answer were considered rebuilding from the earthquake earlier in the year and an outbreak of cholera less than two months before the election, which was blamed on the United Nations by many Haitians. Independent research confirmed the origin of the cholera outbreak as being linked to UN Nepalese troops, and a 2011 UN Report admitted as much. The UN alleged that the outbreak was used for "political reasons because of forthcoming elections," as the government in Haiti sent its own forces to "protect" the peacekeepers.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Campaign
The election was termed in the media as a "seismic" one.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct
On the day of the first round of voting, Martelly and Manigat, as well as most other candidates, denounced the results as invalid by noon, before voting had even concluded. A notable exception to this denunciation was Jude Celestin.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct
Following demonstration and demands by the opposition to hold elections amid a parliamentary call that he can stay beyond his 7 February mandate, President René Préval issued decrees ordering the country's nine-member provisional electoral council to organise the election. However he still did not address calls for the council itself to be replaced before a vote is held. Despite the constitutional legitimacy and impartiality of the CEP having been challenged.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct
Some questioned whether Haiti was ready to hold an election following the earthquake that left more than a million people in makeshift camps and without IDs. There was also a fear that the election could throw the country into a political crisis due to a lack of transparency and voting fraud.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct
Canada had also pressured Haiti to hold elections as stipulated in its constitution. It wanted a firm commitment to holding elections by the end of the year as domestic opposition grew to incumbent President René Préval's response to the earthquake.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct
Due to the elections and allegedly accepted instability, Haitian security services were given special training by foreign forces.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct
The United Nations voted to extend MINUSTAH's mandate amid fears of instability. This was greeted with protesters in Port-au-Prince carrying banners reading "Down with the occupation," and burning the flag of Brazil, as they had the largest contingent in MINUSTAH.

There were calls for Martelly to be included in the run-off; however, he has stated that he would not take part if Célestin is also a candidate in the run-off. A recount was announced on 10 December. However, both Manigat and Martelly then rejected the proposed recount, with only Célestin accepting it. Manigat and Martelly also criticised the lack of clear procedures or a timetable.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct, Post-1st round
Following a deal reached in late December 2010 to look into the vote counting process and have re-polling in certain constituencies, the run-off was postponed until at least February 2011. Pierre-Louis Opont, the director general of the Provisional Electoral Council said: "It will be materially impossible to hold the run-off on January 16. From the date of the publication of the final results of the first round, we will need at least one month to hold the run-off." He also said that a report by the Organisation of American States and a completion of review for the results that had been challenged would be needed first.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct, Post-1st round
The OAS report proposed that Manigat and Martelly advance to the run-off, dropping Célestin from the second round. However, the Provisional Electoral Council rejected that suggestion on 19 January 2011. Additionally, some analyses showed that the OAS report was statistically flawed and made the recommendation to eliminate Célestin with no apparent justification. In a January 2011 report, the Center for Economic and Policy Research concluded that 71.5% of the eligible Haitian population did not vote during the first round of the election on November 28, 2010.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct, Post-1st round
Furthermore, from the remaining votes 8.1% were considered to be invalid, leaving only 20.1% of the votes being cast on one of the candidates in the election. The high rate of irregular votes led the CEPR to conclude that no statistics-based, non-arbitrary selection of a second-place candidate was possible.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct, Post-1st round
In a later August 2011 report, the CEPR further concluded that the data actually contradicted the OAS recommendation to overturn the initial vote counts and select Martelly as the second-place candidate, and that this move was not in line with normal international election resolution processes, suggesting a bias on the part of the OAS.


2010–11 Haitian general election, Conduct, Post-1st round
Célestin was reportedly likely to drop out of the run-off by himself, however, as stated by a member of his party on 25 January 2011, partially as a result of international pressure. The official withdrawal statement came on 26 January 2011.

Almost two-thirds of the candidates also called for the election to be annulled alleging fraud and many voters being refused ballots. Despite this, international election monitors declared the polls valid and said the results should not be invalidated.

The 2010–11 Heineken Cup was the 16th season of the Heineken Cup, the annual rugby union European club competition for clubs from the top six nations in European rugby. It started with three matches on 8 October 2010 and ended on 21 May 2011 with the final at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium where Leinster beat Northampton Saints 33 – 22.


2010–11 Heineken Cup, Teams
The remaining two places are filled by the winners of the previous year's Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup. If the cup winners are already qualified through their domestic league, an additional team from their country will claim a Heineken Cup place (assuming another team is available). The only exception is when teams from England or France win both cups, which did not happen in 2009–10.


2010–11 Heineken Cup, Teams
Because 2010 Heineken Cup winners Toulouse were already qualified for this season's Heineken Cup by virtue of their fourth-place regular-season finish in the 2009–10 Top 14, the extra place for France went to seventh-placed Biarritz (who were also Toulouse's defeated opponent in the Heineken Cup Final). Because Amlin Challenge Cup winners Cardiff Blues were already qualified for the Heineken Cup by finishing second among the four Welsh teams in the 2009–10 Celtic League, the extra Welsh place went to the lowest-placed Welsh team in the league, Scarlets.


2010–11 Heineken Cup, Seeding

2010–11 Hereford United F.C. season

2010–11 Hessenliga
The 2010–11 season of the Hessenliga was the third season of the league at tier five (V) of the German football league system.


2010–11 Hessenliga
Although the teams from the German state of Hesse made up the bulk of the clubs in the Hessenliga, the Bavarian side FC Bayern Alzenau played the 2010–11 season in the division as they are members of the Hessischer Fußball-Verband (HFV; Hessian Football Association). As league champions, they were directly promoted to the 2011–12 Regionalliga Süd. The three worst placed teams, Hünfelder SV, 1. FC Schwalmstadt and VfB Marburg, were relegated to their respective Verbandsligen and the 15th placed team, RSV Würges, lost in the playoffs to the runners-up of the three Verbandsligen and thus were also relegated.

2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season
Season 2010–11 for Hibernian was their 12th consecutive season of play in the Scottish Premier League. It was the first season played in the redeveloped Easter Road stadium, with its capacity increased to over 20,000 for the first time since it became an all-seater stadium in the early 1990s. The SPL season began on 15 August 2010 with a 3–2 win at Motherwell. Hibs competed in the UEFA Europa League, losing 6–2 on aggregate to Slovenian club NK Maribor. They also lost at the first stage of competition in the Scottish League Cup, losing 3–1 at Kilmarnock.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season
Those cup defeats and a poor start to the league season led to manager John Hughes leaving by mutual consent in early October. Colin Calderwood was appointed as the new manager, but struggled to make any sort of impression, as they were knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Ayr United and fell into a relegation battle. A winning streak after the January transfer window meant any danger was quickly averted, but the team still finished in the bottom six.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Friendlies
The Edinburgh Evening News reported on 15 May that John Hughes was waiting to see which round Hibs will enter the UEFA Europa League at before finalising his preseason schedule. Dundee United's win in the 2010 Scottish Cup Final confirmed that Hibs will enter in the third qualifying round. Hibs arranged domestic fixtures against Dunfermline Athletic and Queen of the South, a four-game tour of the Netherlands, and visits to Carlisle United and Blackpool either side of their European tie.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Friendlies
A postponement of a league match against Celtic, due to their opponent's cup commitments, meant that Hibs were faced with a four-week gap between competitive fixtures. Hibs arranged a friendly against Irish club Bohemians on 21 March to partly fill that gap.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish Premier League
The Edinburgh Evening News reported on 13 May that Hibs had requested to begin the 2010–11 league season with an away fixture due to the redevelopment of Easter Road.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish Premier League
The fixture list for the first 33 SPL matches in the 2010–11 season was announced on 17 June. Hibs were drawn to play against Motherwell at Fir Park, where the two clubs shared a remarkable 6–6 draw near the end of the previous season. This game was another high-scoring affair, with Hibs coming from behind to win 3–2. Hibs lost their first home league game of the season, a controversial 3–0 defeat by defending champions Rangers in which both sides had a man sent off.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish Premier League
The Daily Record newspaper reported that this meant that Hibs were on the worst run of home form in their history, having lost the last four home games of the previous season and the first two of the new season. Further poor results extended the home winless run, but John Hughes claimed that the club's supporters expectations were too high. Defeats by Celtic and St Johnstone left Hibs without a victory since opening day. Cup defeats by NK Maribor and Kilmarnock and that poor start to the league season led to Hughes leaving the club by mutual consent in early October.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish Premier League
First team coach Gareth Evans and Under-19 coach Alistair Stevenson were put in caretaker charge after Hughes and Brian Rice left the club. Hibs conceded an early goal in their first match in charge, but won 2–1 against Kilmarnock thanks to two goals by captain Chris Hogg. Colin Calderwood was appointed as the new manager, but the team suffered a 4–2 defeat at Aberdeen in his first match in charge. BBC Sport reported that the match showed that Calderwood had "plenty of work to do". Hibs then showed inconsistent form under Calderwood, as defeats by Dundee United and Hearts were followed by wins against Rangers and Motherwell. Defensive problems appeared to have been cured in those two performances, but they were followed by a 4–2 defeat by Inverness that exposed many of the old flaws.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish Premier League
Further poor results, particularly a 2–1 home defeat by Aberdeen, led Calderwood to admit that Hibs were in a relegation battle. Calderwood noted the team's inconsistency, as none of their league wins as of 27 December had been earned against clubs in the bottom half of the league at that time. A run of five consecutive defeats, culminating in a 3–0 defeat at Tannadice, left Hibs just two points ahead of last-placed Hamilton. Indeed, Hibs had gone seven games without even scoring a goal. Consecutive home wins against St Mirren and Kilmarnock eased the pressure somewhat. Further wins against St Mirren and Inverness put Hibs in contention for a top six finish, but a defeat at Celtic Park ended such hopes. This meant that Hibs had failed to finish in the top half for the first time in seven seasons.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Europa League
Having finished fourth in the 2009–10 Scottish Premier League, Hibs qualified for the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League competition. Dundee United's 3–0 victory against Ross County in the 2010 Scottish Cup Final meant that Hibs would enter in the third qualifying round, while Sevilla's victory in the 2010 Copa del Rey Final meant that Hibs would be seeded in that round. They were drawn against Slovenian club Maribor, who defeated Hungarian club Videoton in order to meet Hibs. The team's preparations were disrupted by the non-appearance of Sol Bamba on a pre-season tour.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Europa League
John Hughes chose to leave Anthony Stokes and Derek Riordan out of the starting lineup for the first leg in Maribor, playing Colin Nish as a lone striker instead. Hibs crashed to a 3–0 defeat, with Stokes and Riordan only coming on as substitutes after the score was already 3–0, but they could not reduce the deficit. Stokes, Riordan and Bamba were recalled for the second leg at Easter Road, but Hibs lost 3–2 on the night and 6–2 on aggregate. The Scotsman commented that the tie had provided "little evidence" that Hibs had overcome a decline in form evident during the second half of the previous season.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, UEFA Europa League
Hibs' elimination was part of a season of failure for Scottish clubs in European competition, as Celtic, Dundee United and Motherwell were all eliminated in the following round. Mark McGhee and Walter Smith cited the lack of finance available to Scottish clubs, particularly outside the Old Firm, as being the root cause.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish Cup
Hibs entered the Scottish Cup in the fourth round, and were drawn against Ayr United. The match at Easter Road ended in a goalless draw, with goalkeeper Mark Brown to thank for producing a great save to keep the club in the cup. Hibs lost 1–0 at Somerset Park to exit the competition, meaning that new manager Colin Calderwood had won just two of his first fourteen matches. The defeat prompted speculation that Calderwood had offered to resign his position, which was denied.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Scottish League Cup
Having qualified for European competition in the previous season, Hibernian entered the Scottish League Cup at the third round stage. In the draw, Hibs were given one of the two all-SPL ties to be drawn, away to Kilmarnock. A poor start to the SPL season put pressure on Hibs going into the tie. That pressure was increased by a 3–1 defeat, which meant that Hibs had won just four times in their previous 26 matches.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Transfers
Hibs' first significant move in the close season was to release four first team players, goalkeeper Yves Makabu-Makalambay, defender Darren McCormack, midfielder Patrick Cregg and forward Abdessalam Benjelloun. Alan Gow also left the club, returning to Plymouth Argyle at the end of his loan spell. The Edinburgh Evening News commented that these departures had comes as "little surprise". Hibs made their first signing of the summer when Netherlands B player Edwin de Graaf was signed on a free transfer from Eredivisie club NAC Breda.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Transfers
After signing defenders David Stephens and Michael Hart, John Hughes commented that he would now look to sign a forward. He did this towards the end of the window by signing Darryl Duffy on loan, but this appeared to be in anticipation of selling Anthony Stokes to Celtic. Hibs sold Stokes, their top goalscorer in the previous season, for a reported fee of £1.2M. An injury to Duffy soon afterwards again left Hughes looking to sign a forward, which led in part to the signing of trialist Valdas Trakys.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Transfers
At the start of the January 2011 transfer window, Sol Bamba was sold to Leicester City for an undisclosed fee. Poor results, including the Scottish Cup defeat by Ayr United, prompted chairman Rod Petrie to make a public statement in which he pledged to improve the playing squad. Within a week of that statement, Hibs signed three players on the same day: Martin Scott, Matt Thornhill and Richie Towell.


2010–11 Hibernian F.C. season, Player stats
During the 2010–11 season, Hibs used 37 different players in competitive games. The table below shows the number of appearances and goals scored by each player.
