    "Embarrassed to be a Hibs supporter".

    Is what a guy said on Off The Ball and what many other are saying on social media, and probably at the game itself.

    A bit dramatic to say you are embarrassed to support us. Be embarrased, ashamed, disgusted at the result but always be proud of the club.

    Today was a bad result, we have what seems to be at the moment a clueless manager and one of the poorest playing squads in living memory. But, things can and WILL get better. Folk may feel they need to force the boards hand in getting the manager out (the protest/demonstration after todays game, although it wasn't all directed at Butcher, mainly Petrie). But if we are relegated Butcher will be replaced at somepoint and Hibs will go onto bigger and better things. (I do hope he keeps us up and is given a chance to build a team to compete in the league next season).

    Never be embarrassed to be one of us. You can't support Hibernian Football Club without having more great days that bad.

    Good post.

    It wasn't me that was on the pitch, in the dugout or the boardroom. They can sort it out amongst themselves regarding who should be "embarrassed"

    I'm not embarrassed to be a Hibs supporter, never have been.

    There are a fair few people who should be embarrassed today but certainly not the fans.

    Maybe he only meant at the moment but nevertheless always be proud to be a Hibee. Cant see when it will get better, it seems a LONG way off. We have gradually declined since the Mowbray/Collins teams, mainly due to poor managerial appointments and even poorer players being signed. There is no way teams like Motherwell, St Johnstone, Inverness, etc pay more wages than Hibs, yet we are unable to produce anything that even resembles a football team.

    I can honestly say I've never been embarrassed to be a Hibs supporter. Maybe if we'd shafted local business, stolen from charities, employed paedophilia or that sort of thing...

    We are Hibernian Football Club not Butcher, Malpas, Petrie ,Farmer or the current crop of rank footballers lucky to be given the chance to wear the famous strip.
    They will all go eventually but we will always be here.

    Unbelievable thing to say.

    Clearly not a true statement for those of us my age. I've had far more shocking days than good. Only a few would be "great".

    I agree, this last 40 years there has been more bad days that great times, more cup defeats than success stories, I am extremely angry as we have never reached our potential

    Idiotic thing to say. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he was probably very angry and just let his anger get the better of him and didn't put his brain into gear before opening his mouth. Most people have done that at some time I would hazard a guess. I am angry at the state of affairs at my beloved Hibs, but I have always been PROUD to be a Hibs supporter, never ever embarrassed.

    Never ever embarrassed it's football, we have been here before and no doubt again....as have other clubs.

    I'm embarrassed we have the likes of Nelson at the football club though. The defence today looked like something out of Dad's Army on a training exercise. Mate and I were laughing up the road after the game - that is what this Hibs squad have done to us this season and last. Made us not get angry at defeat anymore. Just laughing at them.

    Im not embarassed to be a supporter, im proud to be a hibs fan.

    I am however embarassed by the team and our failings. We should not be a team that fights relegation.

    Indeed, Hibs have made me feel embarrassed regularly, finding it hard to cling on to anything positive about the club, take many a ripping from friends/work colleagues about Hibs nowadays and have nothing to come back with, nothing, that's embarrassing.

    This bunch of players deserve to go down.
