View Full Version : Celebrate no matter what in Derby?

I was thinking it might be worthwhile to act as if we were winning or had scored a goal in the derby no matter how we're doing...

So, good atmosphere throughout, a bit of a laugh and may potentially be an indirect spur to the players:

"Let's pretend we scored a goal!"

Shame there is no Jefferies to shout abuse at like the game against Dunfermline...good atmosphere that night (not for Jefferies though).

Just personally think it'd be better than us all solemly sitting waiting for the worst - never know, that aura could pass on to the players, maybe why they play better with less fans there. Think we also need to make it about us rather than the other half.

I've done my fair share of complaining on this forum but part of me thinks we need to entertain ourselves a bit at the games - at least do something that lifts our moral - because you can sense the negativity even before the game starts...

If we want it to, no matter what, our club will go on - the main thing is ensuring that depression and discomtempt doesn't become what, us, the fans, are known for...

Oh I am in touch, trust me. Fed up of sitting in the stands with everyone else dreading kick off, thinking of the worst, seeing the worst come to fruition and then contemplate leaving at half-time (never doing so because I'm such a big fan) and then to, in most cases, have a replay of the same emotions in the second half.

Call me bonkers. I'd rather be insane, as long as I'm a big enough nutter to not know whether I was depressed or not...

Sorry, I was actually trying to be positive. Main point of the post was to basically be happier at the games. We all feel horrible at games just now and we're in a rut as fans also. Derby is not the best game for the nonsense I posted but the tension and atmosphere at the games is so bad that I feel we're in a vicious cycle where the players cannot play infront of the fans and the fans want to back their club, especially in a Derby, but expect the worst due to the horrendous form and general play we have witnessed.

When was the last time there was a really good atmosphere at ER?

That was just a recent example selected because I'm not the most createful. Nevertheless, my intention was to point out that the atmosphere is so bad at the moment that I am wanting a win on Sunday but like most fans I don't think it's healthy dreading the worst before kick-off. I definitely sense the negativity in the stands - and rightfully so - just want to see better atmospheres and it'd be nice if that starting in the Derby.

Sorry, but this board really is unbearable at the moment.

What is your view of the current situation and that of the last 4 years? It's just you seem to make a big thing on how happy you are and don't like it when people tell it how it is or be "miserable" as you put it.

Seen as I have asked you, I'll give you the courtesy of offering my view on how things are. Recent past - club has been a shambles for certainly 4 years now though others might even say about 7. As for the present - we are clearly in freefall and, unlike some, I have been unable to ignore the prospect of the play off for a good couple of months now however I do take issue with those who have us in the play off and even losing it already. We are not down yet and even if we go into the play off we should not write ourselves off so readily. I reckon one win, plus possibly a draw, from our last 4 games might just be enough to save us but perhaps the most telling thing about where we are right now as a club is the fact that the media, fans of other teams and a fair chunk of our own fans can't see us getting that.

Lucky you for not being miserable about Hibs in recent years. Maybe my problem is I want too much from my football club and you are a bit like Petrie, just happy to see it ticking along.

If Hibs get a throw-in near their goal-line I'll probably be stifling a semi. It's THAT grim these days.

The Green Goblin
22-04-2014, 04:41 PM
I can see what the op is getting at, I think, but I think that it's defiance and a volatile attitude towards their players and fans from start to finish which is needed rather than celebrating. We really don't have anything to celebrate and I suspect (although I hope I am wrong) that we won't have anything to celebrate at full time on Sunday. We need a result that defies all the odds and I do hope we get it, but giving them a hard time regardless of the result isn't a bad shout imo.

If we see a typical derby performance from Hibs, with the usual capitulation coupled with the normal soft defending and powderpuff attack, I'll be celebrating nothing.

The first league match after the Cup Final, I had the pleasure of sitting close to section 43, and those guys were bouncing all the way through, putting down any attempts of the Jambos to have their 'party'. I was well proud to be in amongst that spirit of defiance and good humour.

I miss section 43.. :boo hoo:

I also completely understand. I just wish we weren't all in the exact same frame of mind - no criticism of you or anyone just a glaring assessment of the now. We are owed years and years of success but until that happens, I just hope we aren't all sitting collectively in such a dejected way

OPs got the right idea. A sense of humour about our situation can't hurt anyone and it may even take the edge off the poisonous home atmosphere on Sunday.

I think we should "Olé" every successful Hibs pass, the positive reinforcement will convince the players that passing is good :cb

:top marksExcellent plan - have seen other teams' fans do this and it's funny - and lets face it we've got the perfect excuse for nonsense like this cos we haven't scored for ***** ages!
I agree that we need to focus on getting the atmosphere up rather than just sitting there like someone just died! This should join assorted Yam pish takings along with the Standard Hibees fare to get the atmos stoked up on Sunday.

...Oh and BTW I think there's something we are totally forgetting here while wallowing in our misery - we have a 100% valid reason to celebrate - the ***** Yams - THEM - the Pinkoids are DOWN!!! DOWN!!!

In summary, I'd rather have a good time for 28quid come rain or shine. Hoping for the latter of course. I'd go home a very happy man at 3pts and a goal glut. 4-0 sounds good for starts.

However, should the unspeakable happen I'd rather go home feeling good that I had some fun with fellow hibees rather than think damn another 28 quid gone. More depression...

Of course I don't want to celebrate us losing but I can't help, using the analogy that basehibby put out, but think we are at a funeral every other Saturday and instead of watching a football match, its as if they've just cracked open a coffin in the centre circle...

I know the reasons for our dismay but I don't want to maintain it...

Without being "head in he sand" about anything, Hearts' relegation party on Sunday is entitled to last the full 90 mins - regardless of the final score Hearts will still be going down while Hibs will still have their fate in their own hands.

Strange thread! jump about like mongs then not panic too much when Hearts score cos we were already an imaginary goal up. Why not celebrate an imaginary try, we might get a draw at FT.

What we really need are hallucinogenics, and plenty of them. Then we can just refuse to accept any ref decisions, ignore the final score, points awarded or league position. We can claim the Premiership, raise the flag over ER and insist on other clubs applauding our world class players onto the pitch.

Too much ?

The 2nd bizzare thread from Madhatter :hmmm:

Haha don't think it's that bizarre, just would like to see a really good atmosphere on Sunday! We've been depressed while losing for long enough and whilst we can't have a great effect on garbage players we can have a fairly big one on our experience.

I'd rather mess about and leave knowing it was £28 not necessarily blown should we lose than be miserable for yet another weekend. I actually have a sneaky feeling that the players might shake a leg this weekend and one of them is bound to shake it at the right moment to divert the ball into the net... I suspect that a 2-0 win is on the horizon. I suspect not having a nervous/tense atmosphere may well assist on this anyway.

In all honesty, I know due to lack of an obscene amount of cash, I can do nothing for the club and I can't do anything about these players either. If I got my coaching badges done and magically became TB's replacement or won the EuroMillions I'd happily have a greater effect on the general running of the club...

However, until such days come and until we are where we should be I'd rather be a bit happier on my Saturdays. If that involves being "bizarre" so be it - as I believe I stated on another post, I would willingly be bizarre or a wee bit mental over having a dejected feeling to do with Hibs atm - it's been too long now...

It's not as if the current recipe is working! :brickwall

At the end of the day, do whatever you want to do - as long as it makes you happy! :aok:

No problem. I joined here because I couldn't be bothered joining previously mainly to do with what I've read - I didn't want to get involved in needless arguments over silly things. In terms of posting things like this? I don't think this is so ridiculous to have had the reaction I've got to be honest. I know it's the derby but is everyone else singing and dancing down the streets on Saturdays or something? I get questions over a post like this as if it is horrendous but yet there is a whole list of posts regarding the hopelessness of the team - why not question that? Most people are happy to jump on the bandwagon on slagging the team to bits - e.g. it is James Collins or Joan Collins we have?

I post something to be taken positively, granted a bit strange and it's treated as if I had committed a cardinal sin...

Also, I find no relevance in whether I have been a long-time reader etc - what if I was a young aspiring fan, is this a great way for everyone to respond to a suggestion? Spurs fans must all be absolute nutters...500k views on Youtube video for doing that while 4-0 down.

How's about this as a novel idea. Don't know if it will catch on.

We actually score a real goal. I think that's what they call it when the ball goes between the posts and over the line. I could be mistaken because its been a long time.

I'll be there getting behind the team from the kick off but I'm leaving my jester outfit at home.

Come on Hibs grow a pair and just do them.

It can't be that difficult as our opponents manage it all the time.

But I'm starting to feel my usual twinges of optimism in the run up to a Hibs game so I think we'll get an early goal and spend the rest of the time on the edge of our seats/hiding behind the sofa until full time when we'll survive to win 1-0.

First, why don't you calm down a wee bit, Boab1875? You might disagree with what madhatter's got to say that's no way to go about it, a bit of respect and manners might do you some good.


Madhatter, I have to say that while I'm not sure about singing "let's pretend we've scored a goal" in a derby, I think I get where you're coming from.

In theory, we support Hibs because we enjoy it so lets try and make some noise and enjoy the game. Lets not get home feeling the day was a complete waste. At the very least the company of whoever you're going to the game with. Don't get me wrong, I hate losing to the s***, but I'll be doing my best (should we lose) to not let it (or them) get to me.

At the end of the day, we're going to watch 22 guys kick a ball around a field; it's not a matter of life and death and a wee bit of gallows humour might not hurt. It's all we can do right now.

By the time I got to the station platform in Paisley last week a few of us were already sharing a joke and trying to smile; it was far too nice a day to let something daft like football ruin our mood and I'll make no apologies for not letting the sporting prowess of the bunch of nobodies (and a few good guys) that are lucky enough to play for Hibernian dictate my demeanour.

There are times when all you can do is laugh or cry, I know what I'd rather do.

Anyway, 'mon the Hibs!

I don't know a single Hibs fan who is not aware of how serious a postion we are in. That doesn't mean we all have to wallow in self pity. Your head in the sand remark is petty at best.

The trouble is that most Hibbies I speak to about don't care anymore. Far more of a danger than self pity or anger.

I never said celebrate the trash, I said celebrate no matter what - the intention being to cheer up and see the brighter side. If you are going to the game why pay £28 to be raging and stressed as usual? Whatever the case may be I hope you may join us in the celebrations afterwards - 2-0 is on the cards, I tell you. If us, the fans, don't start enjoying the games more (granted very difficult to do now) and making it fun for youngsters, we are in trouble.

Kids reading books at games and fans sitting on their backsides, twiddling their thumbs - not a good thing. Board, players, owners etc. are to blame for utter garbage to watch but we've watched 6+ years (lately) of this trash and young fans are dropping like there is no tomorrow plus some of the older guys. We all want to see a winning team but us all sitting in stands like grumpy old men or getting behind the team until the first goal is conceded to then stand in complete silence until half-time (pins dropping all over the shop) whence the chorus of boos descend and kids open the books, we park our backsides down and begin to contemplate what £28 could've bought...

Joy.

You know what, my suggestion is now TB and MM invite one of us to give the team talk before kick-off. Bet they'd play better then :greengrin

Can I say that this is a very strange post for a HIBS fan to make.

I have and always will be a HIBS fan and will always support them o and on Sunday I'll be getting right behind them.

We as fans in recent years have been put through the mill but to say you would rather die makes me think...Well... .Folk on here ken whit's going on.

Welcome to the Asylum, pal :thumbsup:

Neither sadly. Realist who is trying to be positive. Would you prefer I posed questions on what will happen if we get relegated? How many fans will keep going? How has the last 6+ years effected the lifeblood of the club? Most local lads, when I was growing up, supported one of the Old Firm. You think the track record recently justifies being down? It does. However, I can assure you nursing wounds or making a noble stand till the end of the season changes nothing. If I am deemed to be certifiable then I just wish some of the players and more of fans were also...

Have fun before it's too late.

When was the last time we had a nutter - most teams have a complete madman (Keane etc.) and in most cases they are the captain. We may as well have Mickey Mouse as the captain tbh. Years of utter shocking performances and yet I've never seen one Hibs player - excluding Robertson going absolutely crazy at Forster at a throw-in - showing any remote passion.

Oh incidentally, supporting a football team will always have you on the edge of bliss, the edge of torment, and, the best of all, the edge of insanity. It's a joy to be on this roller coaster, let's just hope next season it's as close to an 180 degree change in direction.

I may be a madhatter, fine. However, can people please start reading posts properly - did I state ban at any point? I tried to state, rather than family's sitting together, youngsters thinking "this is boring I want to read Harry Potter or Hunger Games" (or whatever) and the mum/dad asking what they'd like for dinner whilst a game is in play, it'd be nice for us, the fans, to have a better time. You can discuss dinner plans and read books at home. Once again not a ban, just a hope that without an obvious turning of the tide on the pitch, we can encourage kids and other fans to return somehow. We can all still have a wry smile when someone screams an articulate piece of abuse at a player or member of management team, so I'm sure we could do something in the stands...

I won't divulge what I'd say as a team talk because I see no reason sharing that unless you're a player? Also, I'm sure I said "one of us" and not "I nominate myself".

I did get the point you were making about about kids needing to be entertained Remember seeing the clip pm TV when it honed in on the wee boy reading and thinking how ironic .thats why I put the wee smiley in there.
I know you weren't nominating yourself ,but am now intrigued why you are keeping the team talk to yourself .
