To make it even worse it was Malioda who was getting the abuse. He has been fantastic for us since he arrived.

Was he getting abuse or was it comments along the lines of "Delete this"? The latter is all that I saw before he deleted it.

If the case, then they can’t really be surprised or have much cause for complaint at that.

I tend to agree but I am just guessing.

To be honest I don't know.

That’s all I saw too, nothing outrageous just folk saying to take it down.

Apparently Monty spoke very well last night. Clearly admitting it wasn't good enough.

Can’t say I have ever heard him ‘Speak well’ uses the same words when talking to media every week. ‘I thought’ this ‘ I thought’ that etc.

He did. No excuses and no promises. Honest and articulate, admits it’s a failure.

I don’t like the thought of top six being an immediate target but that’s the predicament we found ourselves in yet again. Two seasons running. We tripped over the line last year, this year we just never tripped far enough.

Brutal either way you look at it but there’s obvious common denominators.

Thankfully the transformation is going to be startling.

I thought he spoke very well when he came in when detailing his plans and how we were going to play. He then turned into a total slaver.

Yeah i know you seem to have a thing for how he speaks. Been told he spoke well honestly and wasn’t given any flak. Just passing on what i was told.

When can we expect to start being startled?

The first common denominator was sacked. This one should be too.

Was always going to be rocky this term after LJ going but the changes that will be made will ensure we go forward on the pitch next season.

Common denominators. I wouldn’t say sacked, more dropped, with yet more to go hopefully.

It’s a process that was never going to be completed in 6 months.

The problem with social media is that there are no real life consequences for being a ****. Some of the abuse people post is horrendous, not just towards footballers but in all walks of life.

Knowing that this the way things are, I think its mad that players decide being regularly active on social media is anything other than a terrible idea. If a player does want to be active then they really should have the thickest of skin possible. I would hope the club educates players on the pitfalls of social media or that senior players set a culture of what is acceptable. If they do then its clear some players have been ignoring that.

As for Ellie's comments about being booed- ive never heard him getting booed, but he undoubtedly does illicate loud groans from the fans at times. If you regularly **** out of tackles and wildly toepoke the ball over the bar instead of squaring to a teammate to score a tap in and secure top six status, then of course people will groan at games and you will hear it.

If hes here next season it would be nice if we have a wee terrace chant about him to make him feel a bit more loved. That would help him greatly.

that and the bots.
the formulaic abuse that follows mistakes of high profile people from various groups is almost oike a template is being followed. And muppets mistake that for normal/OK behaviour. Is incentivised by algorithms. It’s a mute game - anti-social media.

We have some absolute weapons amongst our "support" as no doubt every team does.

I get that people shout and show displeasure at the match in the heat of battle.

What I don't get is people, in the cold light of day, choosing to abuse anybody and everybody connected with the club often in a really personal manner.

I don't even get that. Why would you shout anything but encouragement at a Hibs player? Save your abuse for the opponent.

Interesting that in 16 years of attending A-League games I don’t think I’ve ever heard home fans in Wellington abuse their own players in any way.

I remember going back to Easter Road a few years ago and the first misplaced pass after two minutes had some folk going mental. Was very noticeable after being away for a long time.

Interesting to hear that. Easy for us to become desensitised to things. Have to say there was a guy near us on Saturday so angry before a ball was even kicked he was shouting abuse at the players warming up. And it was red faced, burst a blood vessel anger. Assumed it was alcohol induced but wasn't certain. Folks right behind him actually moved away at HT because of his anger issues. Sad thing was he had kids with him.

Completely agree can hold my head in anguish after a bad miss or mistake but don’t think i have ever shouted any abuse at a player in the wonderful green and white strip. Referees on the other hand. Not a difficult concept for a supporter i don’t think.

Pretty sad to hear that. Definitely a noticeable difference and likely more a societal social media influenced change.

Not sure, ....opposition managers over the years (Butcher when at ICT being one!) Have said that home fans at Easter Road can make it easier for the opposition.
Part of the game plan is to try frustrate the fans, then everything gets that little bit more difficult for the Hibs players :-(

Shocking at times the way some "fans" abuse their own. Was at Dens a couple of years ago, poor game, and as 2 late teens were leaving they were giving Matt Macey absolute dogs abuse. It was quiet so must have heard every word. The 2 then laughed and high fived then left the ground fair pleased with themselves. I honestly couldn't get my head round that. Sad to see.

I would imagine that would be the approach when going to any decent size teams home ground
