Atmosphere Today

[Sylar]

In addition to berating the players on the park, what on Earth was the problem with the supporters in the stands today? The atmosphere was absolutely deplorable!!!

When you add that to the posts on hibs.net tonight it maybe begs the question as to exactly what Hibs fans are looking for at present.

Sometimes having a quiet home support is not uncommon in football today but our away support must be about the least supportive I've ever seen. If you cant be up for a game against your rivals for 3rd spot when can you?

[PeterboroHibee]

We were bad today, but I had guys around me screaming abuse at players when they either werent doing anything wrong, or for mistakes that wasnt their fault.

Some guy really had it in for Benji, screaming at him for a mistake that Stokes made on the opposite side of the pitch??

[Bayern Bru]

The abuse was pretty free flowing today (enjoyed a nice couple of rants at Conway and Dhillon in the second half myself :cool2:) but there was little in the way of encouragement. United fans were noticeably quiet but then again, the Hibs fans didn't really offer up much comparison!

I wasn't at the game today so certainly can't slag anyone off who was there and didn't make a noise !

However I did comment on the match thread that listening on the radio, the atmosphere sounded dreadful. :agree:

In the days before kids I used to go to all the away games and the atmosphere at places like Tannadice was excellent (maybe nowadays folk are too busy on their moby's/blackberries/laptops etc. Maybe there are too many women and children at the games nowadays?) :devil::duck:

I will be at Parkhead on the 27th, so lets hope we crank up the noise and the team performs !

[PeterboroHibee]

Nish was good when he came on. Had a pretty bad miss but at least he was getting into positions regularly winning balls and trying to get on the end of crosses which cant say alot of the others.

Think if he had been on a bit longer he would have scored that chance, and tbh thought he should have been on from the start, we had no height and little strength against a big, solid United defence.

[Baldy Foghorn]

A guy a few rows behind me in the upper tier near the halfway line gave Nish dogs abuse when he was coming off from the half time warm up!

He stood up and repeatedly pointed and called him a big useless lazy bast*rd.

I cringed cause Nish definitely saw and heard him.

Credit to Nish for not reacting - I think he actually looked a bit stunned.

That's the treatment some players get before they've even come on to play!!:grr:

If anyone scored for Hibs today, I was hoping it would be Nish so he could come over and give him the big GIRUY.

I heard the same guy slating Nish, it really beggars belief the stick the big man gets:grr:

[xyz23jc]

Like last week, the support was garbage, Hibbys fighting with each other, and an all round air of negativity prevailed, little encouragement for the players from our side. 2nd half, as we improved immeasurably, support was a little better. We need some coordinated coaching and cheerleading for our fans in that respect. United fans were a little better. Our supporters weren't helped by a woeful if slightly unlucky first half performance, and an unbelievably bad performance from the officials. Persitant fouling from United's big guys who pushed and shoved Hibs players all through the match, umpteen missed hand balls, dubious penalty decision alongside several mysterious offside decisions. Pretty impressed by Tannadice though, first vist. Dens Park, by contrast was a midden! Red white and blue FFS! :grr:

The guy was sitting a couple of rows in front and to the left of me and the laddie. We were gobsmacked when he came out with the rant about Nish. Their was another guy further back giving Nish dog's abuse too.

Totally pointless imo

On the other hand the guy sitting next to us was FULL of encouragement for the whole team... Well done mate

[scotty1875]

Can't remember one Hibs song sung today.

Not so many years ago if Hibs conceded a goal, we would immediately start singing the "We are Hibernian FC..." song to show bit of solidarity. Now there is tumble weed followed by players being shouted and sworn at by an ever growing proportion of folk and this is when we're sitting in 3/4th in the table.

Maybe he shouted at him because Nish wasn't doing any ball work at half time - only a bit of stretching while talking to someone as opposed to slating Nish's general contribution during matches - even so, I reckon he was out of order.

I noticed that during half time, the Dundee Utd subs were practicing crossing balls into the box for their sub keeper - but Maka was just doing a wee bit keepy-uppy now and again near the halfway - it's not like Maka doesn't need the practice eh!??

[18Craig75]

The atmosphere was the least of our worries today! I personally find it hard to support a team full of lazy ba***rds (with the exception of 1 or 2) who should feel ashamed at the 'performance' they put in today; in front of a very decent amount of fans, who have traveled pretty far and at a lot of cost at a particularly hard time of the year!

[The_Horde]

Is it to do with the performances, fans appreciate hard work and if they feel the players are giving there all and playing as best they can then we will generally back them more often than not?

I think those comments should be directed at the players.

That place is a crap hole for singing and the seats are shat.:blah:

[xyz23jc]

It's hard to play well when your own supporters are screaming abuse at everything you try to do, when it works they're clapping you as a hero, when it doesn't... well we all know the story. Bit of encouragement for the idea wouldn'y go amiss. Second half performance was great, bar a few lapses as we chased the game. The fouls against us were shocking, every time the ball was played to deeks he was fouled before it even arrived. Every 50/50 was a United free kick, it was like watching Hibs plays a Land of the Giants select. Dirty cheating barstewards. Far side linesman was a total joke, seemed to put up his flag, only when it was a Hibs Shy/Corner/Freekick, and that was very little. Hope the rest of his coupon was f*****! :grr:

I was singing. Unfortunately that huge steward in the big orange jacket masked it all. :grr::boo hoo:

Fair point and I agree.

I voice encouragement, appreciation and frustration during a match - that along with singing and winding up the opposition fans is what it's all about - but I think achieving eye to eye contact with a player and abusing him before he has even come on is out of order.

I think you are spot on. Supporters will always back a side that is battling for the jersey and quickly realise when the players are not up for it. Hughes stuck his head out last week and said that slackers would be shipped out. lets see what his reaction to what appears to have been a really poor performance is.

The poor performance wasn't entirely from our guys...RE the officials who were a complete joke!! :grr:

[houston1875]

A was sittting down in lower tier,yes game was pony,but my point i wanna make is some 3 fans who were near me were shouting pure guff at some players,until somebody nearby had the mettle to tell em to sit down wat do u ken bout fitba! was chuffin priceless didnae hear a peep after that :faf: made ma day after that chocolate performance!!
Mcbride missed badly!! need a target man..1/2 that team kanae heid the baw!!! cabbage for life!

You must have been near me, I was flabbergasted to hear the abuse towards Nish at half-time. Could not see the clown, but hopefully he posts on here and can maybe explain his disgraceful actions.

It used to be that our travelling fans created a more supportive and tolerant atmosphere in the away stands, but the bile and abuse directed at our own players on the road now is more reminiscent of our notorious impatience at ER when things don`t go the way we like.

It`s not just the players who need to look at themselves after disappointing performances like today, we the fans need to ask ourselves if we aided the cause as well. Travelling in big numbers is not assisting the team if all that comes out of the stands is abuse and jeers. That must surely affect the confidence and atmosphere among the players on the pitch, and yes, we pay our money etc etc, but we have a responsibility in the stands to try and be the 12th man, today, with the negativity from the away end, we were almost like a man down. Look at how good the atmosphere gets at Easter Road when teams bring a large (and always noisy) support?

We failed both on and off the park today.

couldnt agree more. in many years of following hibs i have never understood why fans totally abuse there own players, it will not make them better, it will just make them think f*** you.

held my head in my hands many a time but refuse to slate players

[houston1875]

Nish couldnae even look in the crowd the day,he passed me few times,clapped him every time,every player needs encouraging,not constant put downs! Chuffin shameful to see a player who kanae look at his own fans,the boys a hibee! Give yogi time,then if you still ain't happy..

[basehibby]

I'm glad someone's brought this up - there's always been an element at football matches (not just Hibs) who seem to go along with the single objective of slating their own players - I've always shook my head in puzzlement at this - OK sometimes if a player continually makes an erse of things one can get exasperated to the point where not shouting out about it becomes impossible. But this is different - the guy who was slating Nish before he'd even taken the pitch for example has NO right to call himself a supporter - moron...sad ****** - take your pick, but supporter??? No chance!
But more worrying is the fact that the rest of us seem to be clamming up - last week at home to a junior side the home support was crap - sadly this seems to be the rule at home to weaker opposition. But away to our closest rivals in the league???? That sort of away support always used to be lively and raucous - WTF is goin on :grr::grr::grr:

to be fair i think that was due to the injury to their keeper in the first half:wink:

The whole mindset of our away support is fk'd.

For supports our size, we are by far the worst. Usually travelling supports are your hardcore, more 'up for it' and boisterous, not us though, away support is embarrassing these days, made up of familys, oaps, kids, dafties that havn't got a scooby etc, compare that to your travelling supports of the old firm and down south when its usually male 16 to 40. Anyone see the group of oldies upper tier, with what looked like a wee family day out with son and daughter in law, dancing to the half-time songs, when we are one nil down, WTF was that all about? how you meant to get an atmosphere going when thats what your support is mainly made up of....

Nothings going to change, infact it will get worse. For grounds like Tannidice, why not say lower tier standing only, upper tier sitting, give those who want to sing, stand have a bit banter there place, those who want to sit as if they are at the theatre there place.

Its not just us though, most spl clubs are the same. Scottish fitba fans have got to be the worst in the land.

[RIP]

That tosser who berated Nish was three rows directly in front of me, brother and 4 our kids. WHAT a tube

Nish definitely heard him

I had a word with him afterwards and he wanted to stick one on me. I moved closer and he swung at me, falling full tilt on his backside on some ice

My kids were in stitches

Tube



Oh and he had really bad BO as well - like he hadn't wiped it for weeks !!

Same last week and most other weeks. Barely a murmur of support for the team. Beats me why so many folk roll up each week just to sit there in silence.

[houston1875]

Season ticket holder,go outta my way to watch my team,but when it comes to ******s voicing what they think is best..chuff off!! Where you there during the hard times 15-20 years ago,i think we got it good now some fans don't know when they got it good! Plus most of them dont now ****!! Don't know the people of leith,or have business's in leith,tip my hat! 3 generations of cabbage and I know the hardcore who spend there last penny to watch the 'bage..

Thru ****in thick and thin!!!! Wat a fickle bunch we can be,amongst the most fickle fans in uk..hammers are the worst!!!

Europe beckons get behind them!!!!!!!

Lets just give up then. I'm off to the bingo instead!

[Frogga]

I thought Dundee Utd gave a relatively good showing on the atmosphere front, but yes, we were very quiet and its frustrating. A guy in front of me was trying to start songs but hardly anyone was joining in and his reward is that a few people laugh at him. Pretty sad.

Sounds like my group - 2 big dafties, one in red tartan and one in green and white Jacket. 3 young laddies and a lass. Dancing at half time. Surrounded by torn faced gits ..............you know...........the kind who think they are in some way better fans than the rest of us.

I went to my first away game in 1966 and I probably danced and had fun then. I danced and had fun with Hibs all over Scotland, on Supporters buses and trains, in the first division, SPL, in England, In Europe - even at the World Cup.

So to you laddie I'm a daftie but hey ho I can live with that :thumbsup:

[Rory89]

I wasn't there today (skint), but as someone that goes to pretty much all the home games and as many away games as possible it is true, our support home and away is sheite.

Only great Hibs support from the last couple of years I can remember is when we beat Hearts 1-0 at Tynie last year, and that was because we only sold 1600. It beggers belief for me that if we get 11k a week only 1600 of them would be willing to go to a derby, same applies to the cup game last year when we only had about 10k home fans.

It's alright though because if we get to a cup final we'll have 30-40k, not talking about today but in general we have a joke of a support.

[Alicky Ranks]

For all my gripes about the team's performance yesterday, I have been stunned by how the atmosphere both at ER and away from home has plummeted since I used to go to games regularly. Time was I used to take mates to ER for the first time and they'd come away raving about the atmosphere on the east terracing. Nowadays it's a bit embarrassing. What's the problem with Hibs fans these days? Have all the singers from yesteryear grown up and moved into the family sections? Nobody seems to know any songs these days. It can't do much for the players' motivation when they're getting so little backing, especially away from home.

I agree, name them. Nobody should be slating the players at the games. The stadium is the place to get behind the team. :confused: If you want to criticise players or the team, this message board or the pub is the place to do it.

I have to confess, I said: 'Rankin, that was a ****ing useless pass...' when JR attempted to thread a ball through to an advancing player but curled it away from him. I normally just sigh or tut loudly on such occasions.

Are we becoming a bitter, rancour-filled bunch?

[Lofarl]

JR was mince yesterday but.

[Tyler Durden]

Have to agree with the OP, the atmosphere was pretty poisonous. It does seem like certain folk go along just waiting for the first bad pass so they can unleash their abuse.

Had the misfortune of sitting 3 rows in front of some 18 year old moron who berated Riordan at every opportunity. Just nonsensical shouts for 90 minutes.

[houston1875]

the 3 chumps who were they?

[.Sean.]

Our away support, vocal-wise, is awful.

I stood up the back of the stand nearest the tunnel with 6 of my pals, we tried to start songs, nobody else seems interested. It's a shame, as you can see the lift the players get when the fans get right behind them, ie Pittodrie when we stood and sung for 90 minutes.

I don't know if it's been said as i've not read the full thread, and i'll more than likely get shot down for this but our away support could be deemed to be too family orientated, full of people who would rather criticise certain players whilst thinking several players are above criticism. It's boring, and I just don't get why people work hard all week, travel a fair distance spending their hard earned cash and then sit on their hands for 90 minutes moaning rather than get behind the team. It's actually rather frustrating.

Had to laugh when the chap to my right had the cheek to shout 'Hughes, yer ****in clueless, ********' as he headed towards the tunnell at half time.

In seriousness though, it seems that the people that turn up with the family don't seem to sing :confused:

Nothing against families turning up likes, just wish they would belt out a tune from time to time :devil:

[Ell_Chrisso]

Atmosphere has been CRAP for a while now.

Best weve had was at home to Aberdeen. The Rangers & Hearts games weren't exactly great considering what they mean.

I am one of these people that will try make a song get going as much as possible, as i hate a SH*T atmosphere. But there's too many people at the football who can't be arsed! So its these people who need to look at themselves, and maybe try and be a bit more positive towards trying to spur our team on with more NOISE!

Its half the reason we were soo good at home when Mowbary was in charge, as the atmosphere was electric, and we really got behind a very young GOOD footballing team. Its gives the players a lift.

It was a boring stand to be sitting in yesterday, put it that way.

The thing is, HOW DO YOU CHANGE IT?

Why? Riordan was SHOCKING! Has been for weeks. He moans his puss off at everyone, EVERY GAME. So he should be able to take back, what HE dishes out.

Aye, you're right there mate, or so my Dad says :greengrin

In seriousness though, it seems that the people that turn up with the family don't seem to sing :confused:

Nothing against families turning up likes, just wish they would belt out a tune from time to time :devil:

Plenty of families at Pittodrie though wasn't there?

[Antifa Hibs]

It's upto the fans to change it. But it will take time, one thing that helps atmosphere is standing, but that will never happen, stand up and you'll have some ejjit complaining to the stewards. We'll just have to ride it out, hopefully the bubble will burst and the boring new age fans aswell as your moaning face barstewards will go back to playing golf and attending the pictures on a Saturday afternoon.

Is it any coincidence the 3 best atmosphere's this season is when our support has been relatively small? 1000 at Ibrox and 600 at Aberdeen and 1200 at Killie, compare that to our larger travelling supports at Hamilton, Dundee Utd, Falkirk etc where it has been pesh. Even the atmosphere at Tynie this season was poor, compare that to the 1600 we had last season at Tynie when the atmosphere was superb.

[Antifa Hibs]

Not nearly as much as you'll find at Motherwell, Dundee Utd, Falkirk etc...

[marinello59]

Really? I don't notice the mix as being that different at any away game.

i dont think thats acceptable, no player should have to listen to that. why do u do it? to get a reaction from him ? remember eric cantona, he gave the fan a reaction!

Cannae mind.

Bit of a cliche coming up, but could it be that its the real 'hardcore element' that head to places like Pittodrie and Ibrox?

That's my point. Many seem to think Riordan, Zemmama, Miller and a few others are above criticism, but are more than happy to dish it out to Nish, Rankin etc...

Were you at Kilmarnock? Don't remember much singing there.

[Ell_Chrisso]

i dont think thats acceptable, no player should have to listen to that. why do u do it? to get a reaction from him ? remember eric cantona, he gave the fan a reaction!

I pay the same money as you, to get in a game, to be entertained.

Derek Riordan is theee biggest, greeeeeeeeeting faced person & footballer iv ever seen. I'd understand if he had the class, and consistency to back it up, but he doesn't.
I'd love to get a reaction. Maybe he would decide to learn the basics on how to play in a Left Mid position, he is pretty clueless in.

Why isn't it acceptable? You telling me your happy were playing rubbish? Hardly. The team deserve to know they are playing poor.

If you are as good as Eric Cantona, you won't be playing at bloody Hibs! :bitchy:

[.Sean.]

Were you at Kilmarnock? Don't remember much singing there.
Nope, Killie was poor and we had a decent sized support too.

Ibrox and Pittodrie have been the only trips when we've sung all game. No coincidence that they were also our smallest travelling supports of the season. Even Tynecastle was poor in comparison to recent games there.

[Ell_Chrisso]

That's my point. Many seem to think Riordan, Zemmama, Miller and a few others are above criticism, but are more than happy to dish it out to Nish, Rankin etc...


:top marks Halllellluuuuujahhh, some-one who see it for what it ACTUALLY is.

If Riordan can give it out, he can take it back. Simple as that.

Zemmama & Miller are another two who are completely below par at late. But atleast they don't continually criticise & moan about EVERYTHING.

:agree:

Aye that's what we need, only the HARDCORE should be allowed to games.
Then the club wouldnae have to build the new East, and the West and FF could be sold off for flats.

Sorted.

:agree: Well said.

Riordan is a class act, make no mistake. He certainly needs to up his game at the moment, as do the majority of the team. He needs to cut out the constant moaning though, lost count the number of times he's ranted at Wotherspoon recently. It was Stokes he gave it tight to before, i'm sure he even said so in an interview.

Naughty :devil:

I know alot of Hibbies who have said the same though. It's worse is when we get to a final. take the Livi game, 15000 'fans' who probably attend about one game every couple years, more than likely a game against the OF or a Derby.

[Titch]

A was sittting down in lower tier,yes game was pony,but my point i wanna make is some 3 fans who were near me were shouting pure guff at some players,until somebody nearby had the mettle to tell em to sit down wat do u ken bout fitba! was chuffin priceless didnae hear a peep after that :faf: made ma day after that chocolate performance!!
Mcbride missed badly!! need a target man..1/2 that team kanae heid the baw!!! cabbage for life!

Lower tier, right at the front, beside the dugout? it was me that to him to shut up he was doing my head in.

[ArabHibee]

:agree:

And how do we join the HARDCORE? Do you have to pass an initiation test? 20 questions on Hibs? Sign a declaration confirming you will never take your bairns to games ever? Show your birth certificate to confirm you are within the allowed age group to join?

Maybe Antifa Hibs could confirm?

[Antifa Hibs]

Were you at Kilmarnock? Don't remember much singing there.

Course. For all Killie wasn't exactly electric, it was better than Hamilton, Falkirk, Motherwell, St Mirren etc, the fact it even gets a mention shows how bad the other games where.

the players are at there work doing there job, they should not have to listen to u abusing them, wait outside after the game to criticise them if ur that much of a big man. how would u react at ur work if u were gettin pelters from someone?
im not only referring to riordan, im on about the whole team. if you think ur right standing shouting at someone while surrounded by hundreds of people that can hear every word, and the person u r shouting at cant do it back then we dont need fans like u at games.
to be honest, you deserve a slap from the player/s u r abusing but then it would be the players fault for reacting. they get enough abuse from opposition supporters without receiving it from you, in fact if u were to see one of the players and start to talk to them u would probably sucking right up his erse. get a grip ffs

players who are playing pi5h and are not giving 100% deserve to get abuse,you dont clap players off the pitch who havent given their all,football is not an office enviornment.
But giving Nish or Deeks abuse when they havent even warmed up or being played out of position is out of order.
I used to go to all away games for years and would sing for 90 minutes,atmosphere has changed,dont know if its the sitting that has done that or what the reason is but we should be doing something to remedy it.

Immature nonsense? Really? Let's have a wee read of your first post seeing as you seem to have forgotten what you wrote:


The whole mindset of our away support is fk'd.

For supports our size, we are by far the worst. Usually travelling supports are your hardcore, more 'up for it' and boisterous, not us though, away support is embarrassing these days, made up of familys, oaps, kids, dafties that havn't got a scooby etc, compare that to your travelling supports of the old firm and down south when its usually male 16 to 40. Anyone see the group of oldies upper tier, with what looked like a wee family day out with son and daughter in law, dancing to the half-time songs, when we are one nil down, WTF was that all about? how you meant to get an atmosphere going when thats what your support is mainly made up of....

Nothings going to change, infact it will get worse. For grounds like Tannidice, why not say lower tier standing only, upper tier sitting, give those who want to sing, stand have a bit banter there place, those who want to sit as if they are at the theatre there place.

Its not just us though, most spl clubs are the same. Scottish fitba fans have got to be the worst in the land.

The bit in bold that you wrote? That's what I call immature nonsense.

[Ell_Chrisso]

There is an Atmosphere thread. But what i posted was, how do you change it?

One of the soultions is getting together. But how do you make this possible between a few hundred fans.

Especially at home games. Being alot of season tick holders. Atmosphere defo shocking this year.

[houston1875]

mibbe if all the east stand board members agree a place in the east stand for next season and all buy their tix for that area,same with the rest of the stadium.I know folk prefer to sit in a specific area but if you get along with the guys from the board it may be a plus and the atmosphere may well be all the better for it.

Im all for trying to help in bringing the old atmosphere back to ER. Its something i used to thrive on going to. Even if we were down by a goal or so, the place would be rocking... and thats what would drive the team on to do better. Especially the Hibs supporting players.

I don't see how tho, You can have people shouting at certain players to ask for more, or to tell them to get thier finger out, but you can't do that to the "Messiah's" of the team.

Yes, you have to get behind your team, to help encourage. But there are performances that merit Encouragement, and performances that merit the deserved CRITICISM.

If the players are 100% commited, and showing that they are atleast trying, then i won't criticise. Atleast that way, you know its either just your luck, or your getting beat by simply the better side.

I PAY GOOD MONEY AS WELL - and I don't deserve to be rewarded by some ersehole shouting ill-informed sheight in my ear for 90mins :grr:

From your posts on this thread you seem to be a fan who likes to get behind the team vocally - that much we have in common. So why are you sticking up for some clueless numpty who choses to bawl a stream of constant negativity at an individual Hibs player - this is NOT acceptable behaviour from a "supporter" IMO - whether the target for such abuse is a regular scapegoat (Nish, Rankin, Hogg) or a so called untouchable (such as Riordan).

I reserve the right as a Hibs fan to tell such idiots to shut the **** up - and if they respond agressively, to request intervention from stewards/police. I understand that fans sometimes need to vent their frustration, but dick heads who continually spout negative crap are a PAIN IN THE ERSE to the majority of us and they need to realise that.

As far as the lack of singing home/away is concerned, I think these Ultra groups are a great idea and ought to be encouraged. Many of us like to get behind the team vocally but it usually needs a group of singers together to get things going (especially at less high profile fixtures where many seem determined to sit glumly on their hands rather than be proactive).

The Capital Greens seemed to be starting to make a difference for a while but subsequently faded from the scene. But I've noticed a few threads recently suggesting a regrouping/revival - more power to their arm I say as this is exactly the kind of thing needed to kick start the atmos at ER and beyond.

Go to the fitba to watch Hibs. :confused:

Not once have I said they shouldn't go, they have every right to attend games as anyone.

Although it would be good if clubs could cater for all types of support like what the Germans do. As I've said though the SFA couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery... Hibs away fans are more likely to sing a song before anything like that happens :greengrin

[Brizo]

Aye, good point.

We could call the movement 'Real fans Sing' :devil:

Barry idea. We could get Andrew Lloyd Webber and Graham Norton to host a saturday night reality TV show where Hibbies have to prove their realness by singing in front of a studio audience who vote on their Hibbyness :wink:

And you have I suppose. Maybe you could enlighten us auld duffers what you know about the club that we have supported Hibs faithfully since before you were even a flutter in your faithers underpants don`t. Or my 39 year old son who I started taking to Easter Road when he was only 4, who was at Tannadice yesterday with his wife. Is he a twat as well? Maybe when you mature a bit you will realise what garbage you are spouting.

It's immature, in my opinion, as what you seem to be saying is that only males aged between 16-40 should be allowed to go to away games. Anyone outside that demographic should just away and do something else on a Saturday afternoon as they have no right to be at the fitba.

If parent's didn't take their kids to the football, then there would be no next generation to follow the team.

I know alot of Hibbies who have said the same though. It's worse is when we get to a final. take the Livi game, 15000 'fans' who probably attend about one game every couple years, more than likely a game against the OF or a Derby.

This is the kind of pish that makes my blood boil. I have been a Hibby for 36 years now almost twice as long as you have been alive. By my reckoning I have attended somewhere in the region of 1000 Hibs games home, away, England, Europe probably seen them in places you have only read about. I have had numerous season tickets for east terrace, east stand, FF and west stands. I have three kids two of them have also had ST for the west.
Unfortunately the third came along and she has serious health issues which have curtailed a great deal in my families life, not just watching Hibs. But as far as you are concerned when it is final time I shouldn't be there.
I have done my service for Hibs, you let me know when you are into your fourth decade, have clocked up 1000 games and still love the club as much as I do. I can't be bothered with self righteous dicks like you telling others how to be a Hibby or when it's ok to go to games.

As for atmosphere it will never be any good again until we get dedicated safe standing areas back. Even games with 60/70,000 at them can have no atmosphere these days due to all seated stadiums

How can I backtrack if I never said anything like that in the first place :faf:

Face it. One nil Antifa. :cool2:

Not really. You did make a deragatory comment despite your refusal to see it.
Face it. One nil to the facts.:greengrin

Where have I put you under that catergory? Yep thats right, I havn't. So why you have qouted and bolded that post and taken offence to it is beyond me. Another one that cannae read...

And you cannae spell. Its Category. According to your OP I qualify on several counts. I am over 40, I am in fact nearing the OAP group, I have taken children along, I have taken my wife along and I suppose as a long suffering supporter of over 50 years and still hopeful of seeing the Hibs lift the Scottish Cup I can qualify for the daftie group as well. What are your qualifications please?

[weonlywon6-2]

I agree, name them. Nobody should be slating the players at the games. The stadium is the place to get behind the team. :confused: If you want to criticise players or the team, this message board or the pub is the place to do it.

Aye, thank your lucky stars if your pub has PC / internet access. :agree:

Season ticket holder,go outta my way to watch my team,but when it comes to ******s voicing what they think is best..chuff off!! Where you there during the hard times 15-20 years ago,i think we got it good now some fans don't know when they got it good! Plus most of them dont now ****!! Don't know the people of leith,or have business's in leith,tip my hat! 3 generations of cabbage and I know the hardcore who spend there last penny to watch the 'bage..

Thru ****in thick and thin!!!! Wat a fickle bunch we can be,amongst the most fickle fans in uk..hammers are the worst!!!

Europe beckons get behind them!!!!!!!

does this mean that you have to be born and bred in Leith to be a true hibs fan? 95% of my family are hibs fans, they were all born and bred in Leith and the East side of the city and followed hibs throughout their lives, however i wasnt.

I was born in Perth and moved to Murrayfield when i was about 5. Ive never lived in Leith or the East side of the city but have had a season ticket for 8 of the last 12 years (used to play football on a saturday) and travel to as many away games as physically possible.

My family passed the love of hibs on to me and its like an addiction that cannot be shaken. This does not make me any less of a hibs fan than the next person, i love Hibernian with every inch of my body, Win Lose of Draw.

Its not about how many games you go to as alot of fans financially cannot afford to travel every second weekend to follow hibs, but they will either be on here or giving 100% of their attention listening to the reports on the radio.

I appreciate what your saying regarding the good and the bad times and i quite simply cannot comment on them as i presume you are talking about times before i could recall, however the season we were in Scotlands second tier i went to all bar 2 games that season although i was still only a wee laddie i went with my family and followed them thru n thru (to me relegation is the lowest point i can recall)

Im not sure what you mean by that? seems a bit of a weird reply

[skipster7]

I pay the same money as you, to get in a game, to be entertained.

Derek Riordan is theee biggest, greeeeeeeeeting faced person & footballer iv ever seen. I'd understand if he had the class, and consistency to back it up, but he doesn't.
I'd love to get a reaction. Maybe he would decide to learn the basics on how to play in a Left Mid position, he is pretty clueless in.

Why isn't it acceptable? You telling me your happy were playing rubbish? Hardly. The team deserve to know they are playing poor.

If you are as good as Eric Cantona, you won't be playing at bloody Hibs! :bitchy:

if you have ever played football at any level you'll know that there can be guys who just moan all the time in every team, i for one think its no bad thing,better than just accepting poor play.lets shove kris boyd, kenny miller, scott mcdonald etc out to left midfield and berate them if they are slightly grumpy about the game not going their way.:confused:

[houston1875]

95% are cabbage,what are the remaining 5%?
tell me you ain't got yams in the family
I've learnt to live with that shame too?

Im not ashamed to say that i have A (yes one) Yam in my family along with one St Johnstone Fan.
who they choose to support is up to them and they make thier own decisions as to who they wish to support.

What has that got to do with me being a hibee? It doesnt make me any less of a hibee because some deluded member in my family decides to follow that lot.

Unfortunatly, One got turned to the dark side :agree:

[skipster7]

These guys get paid ridiculous wages, im sure they can handle a bit of criticism. They deserve it, if they aint doing, what i pay GOOD money to see.

How can u assume what i would do? You don't know me. And im glad you don't either!
the complete disregard that there are guys on the other team trying to win,and stop your guys doing what they are paid to do as well sounds like arrogant weedgie pash:bitchy:

[houston1875]

Oh FFS...
Sunshine a ain't looking for a argument but I gather you are?

no not at all, im just a little confused as to the replies thats all as they didnt make any sense to me.

not looking for any argument just a little clarification as to your replies and comments.

Some folk will be a little bit confused by some of your posts and they way they are written. I also think it's a bit bizarre that you've been a member for 2 years yet choose yesterday & today to steam in with a number of (imo) strange posts. It can't have been the performance yesterday because in no way was that the worst this season and doesn't even compare to the dross we had to put up with last year. So what did prompt you to join in if you don't mind me asking?

[houston1875]

Performance didn't warrant my posts,the chumps who a had to listen to for 80 mins,warranted my posts and the reason why I'm never on here much..
Well let me think

so ur mr hibs? and speak for everyone? everyone that pays GOOD money to see are u? they need supported (espaecially away from home) not put down by our own supporters
what makes you think that loud in your face critisism helps hibs while a match is on?
and what makes u think i wouldnt want to know u? im sure il hear u one match, cant be hard to hear u, surely, haha

Haven't read the whole thread so apologies if mentioned elsewhere but I wonder if Hibs being an Edinburgh club are affected by the general feeling of their supporters many of whom will work in financial services?

Possibly not but some of these folk will be totally hacked off with things in the past year and just let it out at the weekend. I know loads of hibs supporters who go to away games that work in the banks.

They have had it in the neck from everyone for the past 18 months so 90 minutes of abuse to players who at times haven't been cutting it might just be a knock on effect. A release valve.

Maybe totally off the mark but it has been getting steadily worse in the past year or so....so might be connected.

I work for a bank and what has happened to me in the past year has absolutely no effect on how I behave at the football or view actions on or off the pitch. When times were good and we had big profit sharing, didvidends, cash bonuses etc it didn't stop me moaning either :greengrin
