Shaun Woodburn

[hibbysam]

I'd imagine there is a fair chance Danny may not be involved this weekend with him standing as a witness this week in the murder trial of one of his best pals?

Lennon mentioned a few weeks back that the club were helping him in every way but I'd imagine he's missed most of training this week..

[Mr White]

I didn't realise that had started. That must be awful for him on top of the horror of losing his friend. It's good to hear the club have a plan in place to help him. If that includes giving him time off and he misses a few games then so be it if it helps him cope and get through such a brutal experience.

That's some tough reading right there. I can't even imagine what Danny is going through having to revisit such a horrible event. Hopefully justice is served and he can concentrate getting back to football. I'm sure he'll be given all the time he needs.

Danny was giving evidence again today, Terrible news that one of them has been cleared. Will be down to Lennon and Danny to see if he is ok to play tomorrow.

[S4uzee]

I don't think you'd ever be able to get over witnessing something so brutal like that.

Needs all the support from the Hibs fans

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

While it is ongoing his thoughts won't be on football.

[CraigHibee]

it's good the club are providing support for danny, can imagine it must have been horrific witnessing that.

Whenever I've had bad stuff going on in my personal life, playing football has always been the one thing I could so that I could guarantee would take my mind off my problems.

If there's any risk Danny's mind isn't where it needs to be then Lennon will notice and respond accordingly.

I wouldn't write his chances of playing off though. It might be exactly what he needs.

[neil7908]

Jesus, that must be terrible for Danny. I hadn't realised he knew Shaun so well or that he was there that night.

It may be as another poster said that playing football helps Danny but I'm sure the club will be looking out for him.

Yeah they were best pals. Just glad Hibs are providing all the necessary support to him and his family at what must be a traumatic time going back over that horrible night.

[Jones28]

Christ that's some horrible reading, can't imagine what Danny must be thinking.

[Billychaotic182]

Hope that 17 year old gets it and rots! Little *******!

[SirDavidsNapper]

I think Danny will shine for us once this awfull situation for him is put to bed. Glad NL is supporting him through it. Really think us fans need to get beind Danny and show him some encouragement while on the park.

Another one for the slightly older contributors I guess. Certainly referred to the game as footie, footer and fitba’ in my time 👴🏻

[HoboHarry]

So if I witnessed a crime that ended in a death would I be a grass as well?

[HFCdeb]

Poor Danny. Hope he finds some peace soon. I'm sure the Hibs support will get behind him when needed.

[Firestarter]

Wouldn't want to be in his place just now. No wonder his form dropped after NewYear.

[gogsy23]

Its a horrible thing to have happened but to be a witness in court is a hard thing mentally to deal and overcome. Stay strong Danny for the family and yours.

Yes being cross examined and put through the mill by the defence in court is not a nice place to be especially as they are experts at analysing your statements and building doubt as to your credibility. Extra tough when you are recalling events that lead to the death of your close friend and bringing back the memories of what you have witnessed but would rather forget. A difficult time for Danny without doubt.

[Mr White]

On the bench today. All the best Danny.

[hibsmum]

Danny and the rest of his family had to give evidence this week and hopefully it gets justice for Shaun

It’s an absolute disgrace that booting someone on the head whilst they lay unconscious on the ground is not deemed murder!! Absolute ****!!

Especially when it's pre meditate ,deliberate, unprovoked and not an isolated serious incident
I'm not sure what could be more murderous than this. If he's not locked away for the rest of his life he will just kill some another innocent person or people
