I recorded the game yesterday from TV. I have blanked most of it out as it was so horrific! I am now going to watch the whole thing again and watch the players' attitudes, body language and our manager's tactical awareness to see if it was as bad as I remember?
It will be painful but I need to do this, get it out my system and pick out the points I want our proud Club to address, Boardroom downwards. The whole Club. I will write to the Board to state all this.
I have only walked out a game early once. 1991 when we lost 4-1 at ER to them. I stayed in the freezing cold rain at Ibrox until the bitter end of the 7-0 thrashing, but I couldn't take it yesterday. I walked out early and I don't feel ashamed for admitting it. I couldn't watch any more and I don't think the players (except McPake) deserved my support.
I chatted to Steven Fletcher on the way out and we agreed how poor it was. Good to see him there!
I got interviewed by Real Radio on the way out and as I chatted, the fifth went in and I heard the roar. I started to have tears roll down my face as I spoke. I was asked "Is this an embarrassment?". I replied "No. The players who didn't turn up embarrassed the Club with that display, but I will never be embarrassed to be a Hibs supporter. I will always be a Hibs supporter and will never be embarrassed to call myself a Hibs supporter! I'm proud of it.
I didn't throw my scarf away, I just needed to get away. I've reflected and maybe I was wrong to walk, I still don't know?
What I do know is things have to change and change fast, or we will disappear from the top echelons of Scottish football.
Maybe this is my self-imposed punishment, but here goes...PLAY
