A really nice gesture. Something I couldn't do as I'm the only Hibby in my family!

Dunno about that ..... Better respect can be shown by being true to yourself and supporting your own team, any fitba fan would appreciate that.

just seems like a way of trying to get attention to me. Whatever happened to taking a few minutes, by yourself by the graveside. I'm afraid I'm not a huge fan of public mourning.

I am a bit of a miserable git though…so if it helps this guy deal with his loss…I suppose I should shut up and let him get on with it.

I know what you mean but we are in the facebook era when you're expected to wear your heart on your sleeve. That can lead to false emotion but in this case it seems pretty genuine.

His brother in laws bound to be pishing himself at this. Must've said something for a laugh and the boys fallen for it!

Apologies for going a little off topic, but, I bought "Heart on my sleeve" by Gallagher and Lyle in Woolworth in Dalkeith, a long time a go. This Facebook generation are copying us old guys!

I know if I have to suffer the whineings of another of my mates whose beloved dog has died on Facebook, I think I'll go mad…
I wish there was a "grow a stiff upper lip" button on Facebook sometimes !!

There's no right or wrong way or place to mourn. I'm constantly in arguments with my mother in law regarding this subject. She's a traditionalist and believes that the correct place to mourn is at the graveside, me on the other hand, I don't feel any connection to those who've gone at their place of burial more so the places that were actually important to them when they were alive. Easter Road and the Hibs Club are where my old man is now for example.

My son and I are going to the league cup final (United end) with some of my late son's pals. He was United daft.
