Speaking as a middle aged man, the standard of moaning is poorer than it used to be.

I agree. Used to be a much higher calibre of moan on here.

[SirDavidsNapper]

I don't know if it's faux outrage or what but seems OTT. Lost two in a row and it isn't good but we've lost 2 goals in those 2 defeats. It's not the end of the world.

I think a lot of the middle aged moaners have reached that sarcastic, unfunny 50 something phase and are at the end of their career. Where are the 'youngsters' coming through to replace these guys? Not good enough from the recruitment team imo.

We've lost three out of four. Failing to score against a depleted Hearts side who are in a bit of a slump themselves and not troubling the one side, St. Johnstone, who we might actually have hoped to take points off.

I can understand if people feel that the reaction are knee-jerk or ott. At least look at the full picture though instead of dismissing it as last night's loss or the last two games.

People are letting the fact we were good last season cloud the fact that we are not up to much this one.

The excuses? Windy in Aberdeen? That affects both teams. Injuries? Aye - us and everyone else. Maybe those with a negative outlook would be appeased if the happy clapper's heads weren't so firmly in the sand?

I've mentioned that once pal, in a thread from weeks back when I was being taken to task 're the "context" of comments, so thought it was appropriate at the time.

I think I said on the same thread that it doesn't really bother me if folk disagree with my views though, it is a "forum" for a wide range of opinions on all things Hibs, after all.

You seem to have the hump though that people are reacting/commenting on what you've posted - or are you just irked that your "look at me" post hasn't met with the widespread approval and appreciation of your acid wit that you were looking for?

So your Pseud’s Corner jibe ok, mine on your English Degree not ok. Got it.

I know I have. Thinking of treading the well-worn path of mutually consented and then a free transfer to a Dunfermline forum where 50 something pish is the standard fare.

I think the point is that initially you picked on the way he posted rather than what he said that caused the issue mate. I tend to make long posts in order to hammer home my points and its not that unusual to have folk pick on the length of them rather than argue for or against their content. My take on that is, if you are too lazy or too stupid to read posts that consist of more than two sentences that's your problem, not mine

Hey less of the ageism!!!!!!

If these pesky youngsters are allowed to post crap so are us more mature posters.

Indeed

What those whippersnappers don't understand is that it takes a wealth of accumulated knowledge and life experience to be able to post nonsense of real quality … some of these KIDS !!! think they are posting crap, but mostly their attempts lack the real depth of middle age or senior citizen drivel

[Glory Lurker]

There are more important things in life, sure, but if folk are hacked off they should get it off their chests - the whole thing about bottling stuff up not being good for you?

[Lancs Harp]

And you cant really beat having a good moan about the moaners

There will be better days than last night fellas.

We are Hibs

[pollution]

I hesitated posting this but my concerns lie deeper than a string of poor results.

Events at Tynecastle seem to have focused a lot of unwanted attention to the team and Neil in particular. IMO the St Johnston game was an opportunity

to get back on track and we blew it. I don't understand the chopping and changing of the line ups. First half at Pittodrie poor second half so positive.

Why? It seems bewildering to me. How many times do we read posts screaming for Neil to make a sub too late in the game.

In my view I think Neil needs to be more positive in his outlook. Take the game to the opposition in the first half rather than fire fight in the second.

That is the way Hibs play, is it not?

The next three or four games will be defining for the whole season.

Ageism at it worst

That's why I've always lied about my age on here. You don't have to be old to be a boring self important pedantic erse

Especially when Hibs lose, the pies are crap, the seagulls are at it again, the tannoys aren't working, lennon didn't pick the team I recommended, our club hasn't issued a statement, our coaching team only sign injured players etc etc.

Right I'm off to the pub.

Our lack of statements are the worst. Every time we have an opportunity to consolidate our position as a top four statement maker we just resort to effective use of twitter, tv interviews and sullen silence. Why have a club PC and printer with digital scanner/fax function and not use it? And when Lennon does make a statement he picks adjectives and nouns that don’t suit the statement system we play. Why did he sign such poor additions to our vocabulary in the Summer? And don’t get me started on Mclaren, I don’t think he used a single metaphor the whole 90 minutes last night.

Worst of all my local doesn't have WiFi. I blame Hibs, and the Middle aged landlord.

Depends whether or not Hibs winning the second tier of Scottish football is deemed a good season or not. Personally for me it's not.

It was the best we could achieve at that time though and we did what needed to be done comfortably. As far as I'm concerned meeting our key objective is a good season.

We done what we had to do when Hearts and Rangers had already departed the league.

We won a league against sides that we should expect to beat every week. I'd say we done what we had to do however for me it's not a good season by the standards Hibs should be setting.

Aye? … good luck with that mate.

When I was a kid we were out on the streets or in the park until the street lights came on learning how to moan gripe and complain through practical life experience. Now the kids are all on X BOX complain or the Wii gripe … they have no practical real life experience of this sort of thing any more
