Yes it almost certainly is.

I agree that this thread has led to people listing theit reasons for not going, but personally if I had decided not to go I’d have kept that to myself. I’m pretty sure some players will read these forums and to read that people didn’t go because it was a boring opponent or they just couldn’t be bothered isn’t going to make Paul Hanlon feel very good. My point is basically that no one has to justify whether they go to a game or not, but it lacks a bit of class to post that you couldn’t be bothered when the game was a benefit match for a long serving player. I understand that some people don’t agree with testimonials for players earning far more than the people expected to pay for these games.
Does Paul Hanlon feel good about fans dishing it out on here, questioning why people couldn't make it? Suggestions of stinginess or disrespect for Paul, or lack of understanding that this is a club legend...I'm sure Paul and the other players prefer that.
I donated but didn't go, is that ok with the Hibs players or are they still upset? I stopped crying when someone didn't turn up to my birthday party about 25 years ago...I expect Hibs players are mature enough and sensible enough to appreciate why people may not have turned up without going on to a fan forum site. I'm sure they have stuff in their life that they really "should" attend but can't be bothered/can't justify going, maybe someone's birthday party or wedding.
What lacks more class? Justifying why you weren't there in response to multiple people questioning lack of numbers in a poor manner, or questioning everyone's reasons for not turning up in a poor manner? I know what lacks class...
FFS. This thread is just carnage on wheels. Delete now.
I was there. It was pretty empty.
I get that it was a testimonial and all the emotional draw of that. However, £20 for a non-competitive out of season game is too steep for an occasion. Especially with a European home game on Thursday.
I think it's just about what people might expect would happen.
Admins please delete thread and let us all look forward and move on starting to get embarrassing for everyone.
