Fans leaving after 4th Goal!!

[Paul Mc]

I was extremely disappointed to see so many fans leave at 4-1

There was only 66 minutes played!

The team had played 12 games unbeaten until today, and some fans repay them by leaving with 25 minutes to go

I was as disappointed and as hurt as anyone.

Support the team to the full whistle irregardless!

[Calvin]

To be honest, I'm always disappointed to see fans leave early too. I can't understand the reasoning that they would prefer not to see their team get gubbed - wouldn't we all? But let's face it, being a Hibs fan, a football fan even, involves times when your team fails to perform, that's part and parcel of the experience. I for one would prefer to stay and support my team.

I can see an uberfan debate coming up but it's a matter of personal preference.

I was disappointed too but you can't dictate to people what they should & shouldn't do, I'm afraid.

I left after number 4, there is no pleasure being goaded by 3000 huns whilst watching your team throw away a game they were in control of after 20 minutes.

If some people have the attitude they are proving some sort of point sitting through that then good on them, I'll worry about it over my pint in the nice warm pub.

The game was over, the players gave up after the 3rd, why not us?

Fans may have had to go through some bad weather to get there today. Paid a lot of money for season tickets, club merchandise, paying the players wages, and thats how they repay us! I have no problem with people walking out at 1-4 down after 66 minutes!

Today was freezing and we shot ourselves in the foot and were 4-1 down which could easily have been far more had the Huns not taken their foot off the gas.

If people want to leave and go home, it's up to them. In my view, it doesn't make them less of a fan. Probably just a bit more sensible than the rest of us who stayed behind till the bitter end.

I turned the TV off when we went 4-1 down so should I hand
my notice in to Easter Road and tell them I'm mo longer a Hibs fan

and you seem to be concerned about what the players think" how about a wee thought about the fans paying to watching that cr@p and you moan about
them leaving early did they not suffer enough today.

[scoopyboy]

I was disappointed to see so many leave after the 4th but by the same token I was delighted by the size of the Hibs support today.

Each fan is entitled to leave any time they want and although I stay to the end I respect every Hibs fan who turned up today.

I only hope none of the early leavers were heard to utter the phrase that does my nut in, namely "I've no been for years and I'll no be back for years, its the same old Hibs".

IMO we are still on the way up despite today's result.

[Gatecrasher]

I left after the 4th the game was over and due to where my car was parked I didn't want to wait in the freezing cold waiting for the police to let is through the barriers,

I don't often leave early but I made an exeption today

I can understand someone moaning with those who left just after the 3rd goal went in, which certainly some of the of East Terracing did, but after the 4th, well I can undersrstand with them.

I done one today after 80 mins as I'd put in more effort digging out my car to get to the game today than Hibs put in after the 2nd goal went in. Add to that the usual ***** from the huns and it was :bye: from me.

I was surprised at how many STAYED after the 4th goal :greengrin After 55 mins (the Huns 3rd) you could see that most of the Hibs players had given up and gone home. Had the players shown a bit of fight and character at that stage I'm sure few Hibs fans would have deserted them :grr:

cos if any team dont have a desire to fight for a win/draw then everytime they go 1 behind they may as well say game over imo

That's just nonsense. The fact is, these people were at the game to begin with, so why would they not be entitled to tickets for the derby or any other game? I'm a season ticket holder and I left at the fourth goal yesterday, should I hand my season ticket back?

We're not talking about leaving when Hibs go 1 goal down here, the game was over, the players had given up so the fans did the same.

These kind of threads are as old as the hills and surface every time we suffer a heavy defeat.

Bottom line is that folk have the right to leave the game whenever they see fit I suppose whether anybody else likes it or not.

I have no problem with people leaving yesterday after watching the dross that was served up by Hibs. Hell, I was going to leave the pub after the 4th went in but decided to stay and finish my drink and mini cheddars. :greengrin

To get back onto OP's point, if you pay your money to attend an event you're the one who decides when you leave the event. I don't think [insert band name here] could give a toss if you left their gig early, neither do the cinema care if you leave a film early. I've left matches early before when I've just been sick of the performance (during Blobby's reign springs to mind) but have also stuck around when we've been thrashed as much to defy the opposition fans as support the team (Hampden 0-4).

You pay for the ticket, your choice.

[HibbyKeith]

I was more dissapointed to see so many hibs PLAYERS go straight down the tunnel without applauding the supporters who were still in the ground at full time.

Obviously players were dissapointed with the result/performance but a little gratitude to the fans, who at the worst financial time of the year managed to dig deep buy tickets and put bums on seats when the easy option would have been to watch it on the telly.

These fans that attend games and then leave when it suits them should be ashamed.

I always stay to the end as I must be a bit of a masochist but then I have been watching Hibs for more years than I care to remember.
I don't have a problem with people leaving but what I do have a problem with is people saying "what does the team think watching the fans leave". I don't give a monkey's what they think as I hope they can see just how pi$$ed off the fans are with their lack lustre performance. Maybe it should get them annoyed enough to actually care.

I am a ST holder and have been to every home match this season. I was also working yesterday but arranged my hours to have 12.00 - 2.30 off on the understanding that I made the time up. I also work on Saturdays and it is well known that where-ever I am with my work, I finish at 12.00 noon in order to travel to ER and make the time up elsewhere during the week (often on Sundays). I travel to as many away matches as I can and I shall be a the St. Johstone game on Wednesday. I left after the 4th goal yesterday - as with other posters I hate being goaded by the unwashed and loathe seeing Hibs being beaten. I believe it is my right to come and go as I please and not the prerogative of any other person to tell me otherwise. The OP and sympathisers should be less patronising.

Don't you think that the other players were equally "to blame" for the defeat or is Maka simply to blame whenever a goal is scored against Hibs when he plays (presumably :wink:) for EVERY goal and is to be classed as a "clown" or "buffoon" as a result? :confused: :cool2:

We were second best ALL OVER THE PARK for the last 70 minutes of the gmae ffs and deserved to lose the match, something that has been eveident for a while now, most notably at Aberdeen only the week before! :agree:

That defeat on Sunday was overdue IMO and there will be more and probably soon unless the players and management realise that matches are won mostly by effort and honest committment to every tackle and pass which we were missing big time on Sunday IMO! :agree:

I agree, we were 2nd best for the last 70 minutes on Sunday, but i only watched the highlights against Aberdeen, and from watching those 20 minutes or so, we did not deserve to lose that game. We scored twice, they scored none. We had another couple of chances too. They had a couple of good chances, but our keeper made some decent saves. ITS WHAT HE'S THERE FOR.

Yes we lost on Sunday, but to question the commitment is just wrong, they have been committed all season, in fact thats what I'd say has been the biggest improvement since Yogi took over. Christ i get accused of over reacting, and knee jerk reactions, but ffs we are improving as a team/club, and progress is there for all to see, apart from those who dont want to.

My post was seeking to establish why Maka was being blamed for the defeat on Sunday when actually the entire team was responsible for that defeat yet you have turned it around to make another point which I never raised nor alluded to as your last few words (I assume) alludes to! :cool2:

Let me be clear just for the avoidance of doubt! I was at Aberdeen and in the first half and, almost to a man (outfield players I mean here), we could not find a Hibs player with a pass of more than a few feet! This "affliction" was not affecting Aberdeen who were totally on top in that first half and, had it not been for Makalamby, who brought off several excellent saves, we would have gone in at the interval two or three goals down! :agree:

Now whilst I agree that the team is far better than it was under the regime of last season and the general standard of play CAN be much better, we are still capable of thinking we are actually better than we really are IMO and that goes for a large number of our fans too! :cool2:

On days like that, we are picking up points by the skin of our teeth and, having seen our performance at Aberdeen, I posted (http://www.hibs.net/message/showpost.php?p=2280718&postcount=40) a warning that we wouldn't beat Rangers unless our ability to retain the ball improved significantly trusting Yogi to have seen what I saw and to deal with it at training before Sunday's match! We didn't and on top of that Rangers were allowed to impose themselves on our players and our playing style all over the pitch for the last 70 minutes of the game! :agree:

Your apparent desire to pick up on every post not agreeing with you that Maka (or "dropsy" as I see you have recently started referring to him as) is not "Hibs class" may well be causing you to see other things that actually aren't there in such posts! :agree:

Calm down man! I've been a Hibs fan for at least as long as you have maybe even longer (no need for us to establish this precisely though IMO :wink:) and I know when my team is playing well and when it is not! I can also recognise when players are committed or not without assistance! :cool2:

That is all!

[HFC 0-7]

My post was seeking to establish why Maka was being blamed for the defeat on Sunday when actually the entire team was responsible for that defeat yet you have turned it around to make another point which I never raised nor alluded to as your last few words (I assume) alludes to! :cool2:

Let me be clear just for the avoidance of doubt! I was at Aberdeen and in the first half and, almost to a man (outfield players I mean here), we could not find a Hibs player with a pass of more than a few feet! This "affliction" was not affecting Aberdeen who were totally on top in that first half and, had it not been for Makalamby, who brought off several excellent saves, we would have gone in at the interval two or three goals down! :agree:

Now whilst I agree that the team is far better than it was under the regime of last season and the general standard of play CAN be much better, we are still capable of thinking we are actually better than we really are IMO and that goes for a large number of our fans too! :cool2:

On days like that, we are picking up points by the skin of our teeth and, having seen our performance at Aberdeen, I posted (http://www.hibs.net/message/showpost.php?p=2280718&postcount=40) a warning that we wouldn't beat Rangers unless our ability to retain the ball improved significantly trusting Yogi to have seen what I saw and to deal with it at training before Sunday's match! We didn't and on top of that Rangers were allowed to impose themselves on our players and our playing style all over the pitch for the last 70 minutes of the game! :agree:

Even the good teams like Chelsea, Man U etc pick up points by the skin of their teeth against lower opposition. Your right when you say that Maka kept us in the Aberdeen game, but the difference here is that the good teams have keepers that will do it time and time again and not keep having the same sort of mistakes. Maka has ability, no question, but he has mistakes too, more than any keeper in the SPL at the moment and because of this he needs to move on from Hibs.

By the way, I know why you are getting so annoyed regarding Maka and what others are posting, because people are to harsh and will not allow anything to impair their take on players. Some people are way over the top and wont even acknowledge that he has ability and that he has done some good things for us. I cant really talk though, you should see me argue when someone says I am not good looking!:wink:

While i respect what you are trying to say, and the dropsy bit is just to annoy one person.:wink: its a bit over the top to say we would have gone in 2 maybe 3 goals down at Aberdeen, had Maka not been in goal. We would have had someone in goal, and again IMHO he'd have made the same saves, none were world class, good but just a keeper doing his job. Stack Flynn Zibi Brown would have made the same saves.

Completely agree with the original poster, absolutely no need for so many to spit the dummy and leave. The same folk who will be scrambling for tickets for derbies etc no doubt! Support the boys through thick and thin!

Maybe biting here, but!
Having been season ticket holders for years now, missing one game this season, home and away, don't you dare to tell me when i can or can't leave a game, i'll leave when i darn well like, sitting in the freezing cold/wet getting humped 4-1, i'll leave! And no i won't be scrambling for tickets for derbies etc, i always get mine in plenty time

Well said. :thumbsup: I left the Livvy game one night with about 5 minutes left. We were 4-0 up at the time. By the time we got to the car it was 7-0. My choice, my life.

Whether or not that is true is irrelevant IMO! :cool2:

Maka was in goal and made the saves and therefore without him that day we could easily have lost a few goals in the first half alone in my opinion and I saw the whole game as it happened from an excellent vantage point! :agree:

Would anyone else have scored the goal Stokes scored in the first half had he not been playing - in your opinion of course? :wink: :cool2:

I also take issue with this nonsense that "it's his job to makes saves however spectacular they may be" yet he's easy meat for a complete ripping on here when he loses a goal whether it's his fault or not! :confused:

I wonder what makes the people who seem to thrive on this kind of behaviour which, in "normal life" would be akin to bullying, tick and sometimes wonder what is lacking for them that makes someone they don't even know properly such a target for them!? :confused:

[joe breezy]

I stayed till the end as I almost always do.

I was surprised so many other Hibbies did too...

You have to just let it wash over you after a while but I wouldn't judge anyone for leaving early, understandable really

The players gave up early too...

[bighairyfaeleith]

fans will stay if the performance merits it, and most of the time when it doesn't. But that was a ****ing bitter cold day with absolute ***** football on display. I don't apologise for leaving early and all the uber fans can GTF.

If I want to pay my money for 2/3 of a game then thats up to me, no bloody one else.:grr:

I believe you when you say we could easily have lost a few goals, but we didnt, he did his job. Are you saying he's that good, no other keeper would have saved us, only him?

He gets ripprd because he makes so many mistakes, its funny how Stack does not have page after page about his gaffs?

Bullying my arse, its a football forum, we talk about our opinions on each and every point in a game. If he did not cock up so much, he would not get slaughtered so much. Bullying. :grr:

[basehibby]

I was extremely disappointed to see so many fans leave at 4-1

There was only 66 minutes played!

The team had played 12 games unbeaten until today, and some fans repay them by leaving with 25 minutes to go

I was as disappointed and as hurt as anyone.

Support the team to the full whistle irregardless!

What does it look like to the players with thousamds away before the end of the game

Views?

While I - like yourself - tend to stick it out to the bitter end (or glorious conclusion as can be the case) I don't think you should read too much into mass headings for the exit at 4-1 down.

The odds of coming back from that sort of score are next to nothing and for some fans the prospect of suffering further pain is just too much to bear and so they head for the exits - weak? - maybe - understandable? definately!

Still got no time for the sort of fuds that will leave with 5 mins to go at 1 or 2-0 down though :confused: *

* disclaimer - except for folk in wheelchairs / that have to run off for their plane to Australia etc...

[Posh Swanny]

Hundreds of Posh fans left London Road after 38 minutes on Monday. If that's not a harsh lesson in sticking by your team, I don't know what is.

Talking opinions and having a seriously vicious go at a player when there is no realistic right of reply to offer explanation/full information are two quite different things! :agree:

The first of these two things I am quite content with and that is what I believe these fans forums are for. :agree:

On the other hand, the second is IMO totally unacceptable and people should have a damn good look at themselves and consider how they would feel if they were on the receiving end of some of the often misinformed and factually unsound, character and ability assassinations that I have read on here and cringed at! :agree: :cool2:

Never mind though, if doing the second "thing" floats some people's boats for them then I guess they will do it as they frankly don't care about the effects on anyone else, whatever they might be! :grr:

If any player get critisiced, on here or the tv or the papers, they have the right to reply, or the right to ignore it. If they get that upset it affects the way they are playing, then they are in the wrong game. The reason there seems to be people having a go at this particular player, is because there is just too many mistakes, although you disagree. And because you disagree, you think the criticism is over the top. Me personally, i think its fair.

Fantastic ability to take things out of context but hey, who really cares on here eh?! :wink:

THis may come as a surprise to you (whether I think a player is playing badly or not) but I disagree with you! :agree:
