If you are suggesting it was me, fine, it was Five years ago, I bemoaned Yogi and his tactics......we were poor in the latter part of his tenure. The away game at Maribor with the team selection was baffling....And who could forget the performance at St Johnstone, followed by his usual after game sound bytes. Easy to look back and say I wish we were competing in Europe every Season, but let's not kid ourselves on, it wasn't all rosy at that time.

On the back of that, we have had disaster after disaster and sleep walked into Relegation. I would rather everyone who sat on the Board at this juncture were removed.

However, I believe in LD and AS, and whilst I would rather that we were in SPL, we have to make most of it now. I feel the Club is moving in the right direction again, and I try to remain positive, it is easy to be constantly negative and looking for problems......I still believe we have the strongest squad in this division, although we need to kill teams off......

If the cap fits? I am not for one minute suggesting everything was all rosy under Hughes, but i could point to just as many poor results and baffling team selections under Stubbs, but apparently they are ignored now because you think everything will be fine and dandy.

What is not acceptable for me is a Hibs team playing football in the 2nd tier of Scottish football, and a Hibs team thats struggling to win games against very poor teams.

I too do not think being constantly negative is a great trait to have, but i certainly wont be talking about how well things are when they are clearly not. I want the same as every Hibs fan wants, and thats a winning Hibs team playing in a mostly entertaining way.

If that was happening, we'd all be positive. I wont be positive because someone wants me or tells me i should be positive, just as you were not 5 years ago.

Hibernian football club, give me and others like me something to be happy about, and as i said before, punch your own weight as a football club and most of us will be happy.

Yes watched most of it. We lost 1-0.

Making chances means nothing if you do not put them away and then lose.

The table still shows a loss.

We have a stronger squad than them in my opinion. Yes we never took our chances, but let's not pretend TRFC are some sort of world beaters......

Nope they are not but as Hearts showed last year when a smash and grab is needed they won. Hibs lose when it really matters. If lose tomorrow pressure is on Stubbs for me.

That's the spirit.......I can't stand people who say I'm out....It ain't the Dragons Den.....You are either a supporter or you are not, not just when things are good.....BH has chucked it, and criticism annoys me from people who can't be bothered attending anymore......This ain't an uberfan post, but it grinds my gears when some say that's it, I'm out....Hibs support should always be unconditional......

I'll always be a Hibs supporter, but I won't be a season ticket holder. Sorry if that upsets you but some aren't just throwing money away because "we support them" I'll turn up when I can at the odd game.

Now what about the rest of my post? Do you see what I'm saying? You were having a go back then when Hibs were in the top flight fans have every right to have a go because we are horse right now. So maybe you should stop having a go and just accept some people are posting good honest stuff and just want the best for the club. We don't all have to post happy things 24/7.

I have praised this club when the do things well I'll not stop moaning if I think we are poor!

C,mon guys get a life. We are a mediocre team with huge ambitions. We have no right to beat anyone. We have to earn it. I am confident we will reach the playoffs,but it doesn't help that Easter Road is a graveyard. the fans sit an wait for something to happen. We need the whole stadium behind the team and make a noise.

And here we go, back to the fans again. Lucky we get 8k at games. I bet if this were Dundee Utd they would be lucky to get 4k if they were on our shoes. Huge ambitions? Sorry no, but I do expect Hibs to be top of this league and not be beat from Dumbarton, maybe you just except piss poor football? Huge ambitions would be making CL or winning the Scottish every 3 to 4 years. I want my club in the top flight, and in the top half of the table, if that means getting a life then yes I do. I'd say those who are happy to plob along watching us down here should take a good look at their life!

Not saying people do, but the fact we are in championship accentuates the negativity, and my god, some just love to stick the boot in at times......We had lost the league after out first game, some things are just so silly................

And it's a perpetual cycle, people don't buy Season Ticket's we can't afford quality, and folk moan about the team.....It's never ending..........

What is the point of Stubbsy going to watch other teams when they play totally different to what they do when they play us?

Losing to Dumbarton gave us a mountain to climb right away. Added so much pressure as we really needed something from The Rangers game. 6 points is huge whether you like it or not ans I'd rather be six ahead than six behind because you start to gain momentum!

Do I think Hibs will win the league... No! I don't think we have the mentality to win it I really don't. I'll not give up hope until it's impossible but we don't have a good enough squad to grind out results. If we did we wouldn't be six points behind the leaders this early.

You may think have the best squad in the league, but I think the Rangers have the better mentality and play better than us. The second half on Sunday showed they can go up a gear. If Hibs go on and win I'll be first on to congratulate them and tell you you were spot on. I don't think I'll be doing that sadly!

It's all about opinions isn't it - no matter how diverse.
I was out with my good lady wife last night and I had some real bitching threads on, whilst she thought I looked like a twat.

[marleyhib]

We should be beating every team home and away bar the huns, Hearts managed it last season.

Last season Stubbs inherited a real mess, this season he's had time to prepare and knows the teams we'll face and how they'll set up.

Pretty happy with the squad but lack of goals is the main concern. We should be battering teams in the first 30 mins but we have the same old problem of not being able to open up teams when they sit in, which they'll all do against us.

Stubbs has to address this, realise we'll probably be in the playoffs again and be ready for it.

Early days but I understand people's frustration and negativity, we need a good start. It's all part of football and it's not gonna change.

Yep, it's the fans fault again. Relatively speaking, Hibs crowds are actually pretty good compared to most teams in Scotland.

Just think what the crowds would be like if the team was winning regularly and not losing on the first day of the season to teams like Dumbarton. Like it or not, it's results like that which sicken supporters, and does nothing to encourage wavering or lapsed fans back. I would hazard a guess that AS & LD are only too well aware of this obvious fact.

As far as getting behind the team is concerned - the previous poster's point. The fans will get behind the team if they are given something to shout about. For example, has anyone ever noticed how a packed away end at ER full of Hearts, Rangers, or Celtic supporters is always totally silent when Hibs are beating them?

Its a strange one isn't it. Crowds get more vocal when their team are scoring goals, fighting hard, and playing well.

If Hearts had the run of results (over the last few years) we have had, they would be hovering around 8-9K themselves.

If we play well today and get the result, I'll be fulsome in my praise.

If we play badly and don't beat Raith, I'll be having a moan.

1. We play badly and win (again) or

2. We play well and don't win (again)?

Somewhere in between would seem reasonable, depending upon how well/badly we played.

Correct, when Hearts were playing under Potter years ago the crowds were under 10k. A winning team brings out fans as it's exciting to see your team do well. That's football, folk who keep blaming fans who have chucked it are totally wrong! Everyone is wired different and not everyone will throw money at a club to sit in the second tier of Scottish football. It's not cheap either.

[Steve-O]

Hibs have been absolute guff for about 90% of the last 8 years so folk moaning is not surprising. That is all I have to say.

If 1 happens, Ill be thankful for 3 points, but have a wee gripe that were still not playing to our potential, and hopefully hear some suggestions about what we weren't doing as effectively as we could.

If 2 happens, Ill suggest that playing well needs to be allied with goals otherwise its not actually playing well.
Or if we were robbed by absurd refereeing/5 shots off the bar, and three miracle strikes from the opposition, that the referee's bent, and that God is a Jambo, and therefore actually the Devil in a white robe.
