I couldn't tell exactly who did it, but saw a group of (bald) men chuckling about it.

I got hit by a bit of pie too, it wasn't sore or anything but I was with a kid and it wasn't good. I've had to have 4 surgeries in the past year and a bit, another one on the way, and this type of crap puts me off going to the away games. I'd hate to think how crap I'd feel if I got hit with something near my scar tissue! Yikes. I'd no doubt get a football banning order for battering said person who did it though 😬

I know what you are saying but see my other post. When did it become OK to resort to violence when people are behaving in a way that you find disgusting? That's indirectly what you are saying.

Not really a dig at you, but on this occasion your are guilty of what many others on here do. Rant and rave about twats at games and then comment that it would be justified to give them a kicking.

Beileve me, I have had a few fights in my time so not offended by the thought of violence, just the double standards on here sometimes.

So if this sort of maroonic behaviour persists at away games, rather than everyone moaning on Hibs.net about it, can we be doing a bit of 'self policing' and those around these young balloons take photos of them, get an approximate seat number, (you will have your own ticket and seat number so can make an educated guess at theirs) and forward the photos on to the club or/and Police Scotland?

The club will have names for seat numbers so shouldn't be too difficult to weed out the weeds.

This is, is a 10/10 post. Let's all stop being keyboard warriors and do something at the time.

I don't think it is top marks. Why wait til after the event and say I saw the guy what an arse, good job I wasn't bla bla bla. Point the guy out at the time if you see it. Shout to the guy at the time, but don't come on here giving it the big one saying good job or I'd have done this or that as that achieves nothing and promotes this keyboard hard man mentality.

Just for the record the guy who threw the can is a twat, but coming on here to act hard is also cringy, and should be cut out.

Don't think you've quite understood the context of the

I gave IggyPope. It was more for the Innes and Gunn random comment.

And in any case I think his post was correct in the face of youngsters throwing around beer cans or bottles. It was a disgraceful thing to do and could have seriously injured someone.

Neither have I ever posted on here to sound or act like a 'hard man'.

I like a bit fun and laid back ribbing which often happens on here just as much as the serious football comments about the club I have followed for manies a year.

No probs though

Sorry mate, probably should have highlighted original post rather than yours. I did pick up the 10/10 wrong. Wasn't trying to imply you were acting hard etc. Apologies.

Just think there are too many on here who are quick to use lines like, lucky I was 2 rows behind otherwise he would have got it etc etc etc.

Lets be honest most folk who post that mean to say, I was raging at the game and wish I had the guts to say something, but I didn't and now feel a bit silly saying this on the forum, so I will add in some threats and a disclaimer to cover my lack of action.

No need to be sorry my good man.

You have a point of view and are not being nasty or snide just for the sake of it.

All good and well.

Some people find confrontation difficult to deal with especially in the situation they were in. Who knows how many people were with this guy??

As for the comments of others, having read them it can or even be perceived in different ways. Either or it's an opinion.

My opinion on the matter is that if I had seen it I would have reacted and made this idiot know to the Police at the game straight away.

If either myself but more importantly my kids had been the recipient of the can then I am more than certain I would have reacted like any father would.... The person would feel my wrath simple as that, regardless of who had been with him.

And what has you being in fights got to do with you being offended or not. I think this statement is as irrelevant as your comments about others opinions.

I agree with what you're saying that some don't like confrontation. What is getting my tits is people inventing scenarios so they can come across as a hard man on here. Lucky this didn't happen or I would have done that type thing. No need and internet bravado.

You make a fair point re my fighting comment. With hindsight I'll advised and almost does exactly what I'm ranting about😀

Cheers mate. Sometimes the metro's a better option on the bus. Commuting and hibs.net can make for grumpy posting!😉

This did happen and thankfully no one was hurt. I think it's a bit unfair to suggest people are making up scenarios to come across as hard, they are proving comment/opinion on the situation.

I would suggest ignoring the comments you don't like.

As for your comments they don't bother me in the slightest but again it's how I have perceived them.

I am not saying you have to agree with everything but this is what a forum is all about.

Re read the posts. People were saying 'lucky my this or I would have that'. For me, that is inventing scenarios.

And thanks for clearing up how a forum works. 😀

Again opinions and your perception. I honestly cannot see how this can annoy anyone as this was a real incident that could have had very serious consequences.

FWIW. The guy is lucky he was sitting where he was. I am sure if a confrontational type of person had sat near the guy and saw what had happened it may have turned out different!

At the end of the day the coward who threw the can deserves everything coming his way.

And btw anytime! ;-)

Think its one of my pet hates of society. There was an incident, and it could have been far more serious. Thankfully it wasn't, yet people feel the need to say, what if this, well I would do that. Just gets on my nerves.

As I said to another poster, I was mid commute and probably less calm and considered than otherwise when I started my rant!

I get where you are coming from however life would be boring as if we were all the same.

Of course they feel the need it's only human and it's their opinion on the matter. Doesn't make them hard or full of bravado! But my opinion!

Surely you're not defending the can thrower here?

Nope.

Seems no one knows who the can thrower is, just a group of lads giggling, someone might get in to bother, club or a kicking being handed out on a innocent.

If you are the kind of person who thinks it's appropriate at a football match to chuck a can, I feel for you.

Was it not mentioned earlier inthis thread that somebody had pics of the person involved in this mindless incident.If it was me i would be passing it on to the appropriate authorities to deal with.

**Dashing Bob S** · 25-10-2016 11:00 AM

This all gotten a little messy. Maybe the fairest resolution is to blame the Innes and Gunn which would have done the real damage and shouldn't have been there.

Innes and Gunn being yet another euphemism for West of Sctland FC and Scottish Cuo FC supporters.

If you can invent a couple of surnames for them we could pass off messrs Innes and Gunn to Police Glasgow as the infamous Hibby Hampden turf worriers they currently have Interpol looking for.

This has already been taken care of. The club and relevant authorities have been made aware of the incident.
