To guy constantly barraging heffernan from the 5th minute well done your constant abuse must have done the team wonders for confidence, admit it you were pleased when he missed that chance in the second half. :thumbsup:

He was very very poor and looked unfit.

Should of been given the hook much earlier.

Screaming abuse because we kept the ball in the corner for the last 2 or 3 minutes. Nipped away all game about 'tippy tappy pish' and my personal favourite called our Morroccan striker a '****ing Bengali'.

On the flip side he took up a great position on two occassions when he should have been given the ball. He needs game time.

Had 2-3 a******* in front of me as well today. Nearly every Hibs player on the pitch and Alan Stubbs got some abuse thrown at them by the idiots. Even Scott Allan who didn't even play today got some abuse!

Just got a feeling this will never stop unfortunately, even if we were to play like Barcelona. Their will still be some football expert hardmen in the stands hurling and screaming abuse for the sake of it.

Guy next to me didn't like all this time wasting to see out the last three minutes. Kept telling him that's what the opposition would do and it's in our interest to do likewise. Previous seasons we would have taken the corner which would be cleared resulting in the ball landing in the Hibs net.

Not great today but we won it and that's the most important thing.

:agree: I keep saying this, but Hibs supporters are no better and no worse than any football fans all over the world (some countries have much more volatile fans than we have here in the UK).

It's just not realistic to expect not a single fan to ever moan or shout criticism at players. This happens at every ground I've ever been in all over Scotland and England, and I've heard really good players at top clubs getting pelters from some of their own fans.

The broken record's getting tedious though and for all the vitriol thrown at the team in recent times it's never exactly turned things around. TB and MM have been roundly disparaged for berating the players - the irony is missed by some it seems.

After last season folks should realise it was rock bottom. The players, management nor supporters could keep doing the same things expecting a different result (the different result last year turned out to be worse). So time to move on.

When it comes to "abusing" players I'd say repeat offenders should rethink their relationship with the club and whether it's a healthy one. We have a young team we need to let them flourish.

Besides should we not reserve the bile for the opposition?

I have to say I find some people at Easter Road embarrassing, cringey at times. By that I include the supporters whose sole purpose seems to centre around abusing anything In a green jersey with what at times are pretty uneducated abuse. I also include the supporters whose stance seems to centre around applauding anything and everything that they see or hear as if they are somehow some higher category of Hibs supporter.

If you ask me, both these types of extremeness amongst our support are pretty uneducated and very annoying , what would be good to see would be the platform to support the team and applaud players who are giving the maximum effort, and also to make your feelings clear when you feel things arent right. Anybody who was abusing anything yesterday needs their head examined, same as the clowns who were happy to applaud their way through games at the end of last season. It would be good if every Hibs fan was somewhere in between, but logic tells you that aint gonna happen, but its no different at any other football club and it surprises me that people still feel the need to start thread after thread about it

this!! hibs had been on the back foot and needed to keep the ball to ensure livi did not break up field and score an equalizer last minute

hamilton anyone?

this to me shows a more professional attitude and stubbs is doing what he said he would, remove the hoofball but do what is necessary to get results

Is a concern that a first pick player is not 100% fit because trying to get match fit in real games is risky. Guessing that the a-holes have louder voices individually than than the other 99% of the crowd put together?

Don't agree with the assessment of Heff - particularly at the Championship level. Perhaps a poor game yesterday, but could get match fit soon, and on his game can be a canny operator. Would not rule out him being a key man against the Yumbos next week.

Cant argue against signing another striker however!

You're not alone there. The guys I go to the games with seem to think he's decent, but IMO bar his first 3 or 4 games for us he has been rank. He's got a decent touch but he's slow and his finishing is often pathetic.

I seem to remember him scoring a hattrick for Killie at the PBS though so hopefully it's a lucky ground for him.

I think if Heff didn't have another year left on his contract he'd be gone, very injury prone and does seem past his best, would prefer to look at the youngsters and move on from Heffernan.

I might be wrong but East has more 'walk up fans' and so not the same every week. in other area's like where I sit there is a more regular stable support and so those who are the moaners eventually get the message - we had 2 or 3 behind me who over a couple of seasons have moderated with a bit of banter / humour - disagreeing with some of the more outrageous stuff they uttered (I did consider moving a year or so ago) but now actually get on pretty well with them now

We could have had the game tied up by then given the chances, especially in the first half. However we didn't so went about avoiding doing anything stupid to lose the points by playing the time down.

That to me shows a winning mentality.

i can see what you mean but i disagree.I hope you dont mind my saying but i dunno if it shows a winning mentality.

a winning mentality IMO of course is a team who should lose but do not give up and turn a 1-0 with 2mintues to go and somehow win 2-1,. an example is 1999 man united winning the champions league.
what i felt we did yesterday with a few minutes to go was to keep the ball in the corner, ye maybe be senseable, but i think its how you how maybe valuanable our team is(or maybe feels) that we did not have the confidence to pass the ball about and avoid mistakes.

Some folk are relentless though, and at some point (hopefully) they'll realise that abusing your own players rarely helps matters.

I agree that "abusing" your own players relentlessly is bang out of order. Some people, because of the type of person they are and/or the mentality they have, just don't even realise it I suspect and let their frustration boil over if a player is not performing to the standard they think they should. More often than not, the fan shouting the odds couldn't get a game for a pub team.


The broken record's getting tedious though and for all the vitriol thrown at the team in recent times it's never exactly turned things around. TB and MM have been roundly disparaged for berating the players - the irony is missed by some it seems.

See also my comments above. You make very valid points too in your post. Of course we as supporters should encourage the players as much as possible, especially the younger ones coming into the first team. I'm all in favour of reserving the bile for the opposition.

It doesn't mean that because a fan/supporter voices criticism from time to time that he/she doesn't want the team to do well. Sometimes frustration boils over and some folk just let rip.

That's exactly it.

There were grumbles behind the scenes at Killie and it was alleged that Heffernan wasn't happy about the sacking of Kenny Shiels and his contract was apparently terminated, which suited both parties.

I thought we'd picked a real steal at the time, as Heff's a proven SPL striker and a great finisher, but since his arrival last year, he's never been fully fit or match fit so we've never really seen the best of him at all. Remembering his goals is actually quite the task!

One of the things that worries me is how little about football some of the critics seem to know.

The boy behind where I sit in the East will regularly be giving it "That's ******ing s**t Hibs" without seemingly being able to recognise the difference between actual s**t and what was a nice idea that just didn't quite come off.

Many of our fans are going to really struggle this year with our new style of play. How dare we keep the ball, how dare we start from the back again. Ive watched most of the friendlies and the initial real games and we've turned a massive corner. Will take a long time for some fans to be educated.

Get what you're saying to a certain extent. But folk just want to see a winning team. If we are winning regularly then folk will be happy. If we aren't they won't be. Simple as that.

Was there not also one that went "she's no very good, she's no very good..."??

Or was that maybe colin cameron's wife?

See this is the real reason (obviously!) our home form is pish. We need more abuse to their players and we need them to be thinking about who has pumped (or is pumping) their other half.

:agree: I keep saying this, but Hibs supporters are no better and no worse than any football fans all over the world (some countries have much more volatile fans than we have here in the UK).

It's just not realistic to expect not a single fan to ever moan or shout criticism at players. This happens at every ground I've ever been in all over Scotland and England, and I've heard really good players at top clubs getting pelters from some of their own fans.

Is that the same fans who moaned about Butchers way of dealing with players and saying it's no wonder their confidence was shot?

No I don't expect "not a single fan to ever moan or shout" but FFS when we are winning, playing well and needing to break a pathetic home record is it too much to ask that the supporters actually encourage and support the team? When was the last time Hibs lost a goal and the support actually tried to lift the players with real vocal support? Last I remember was AEK Athens.

Hamilton game when we got relegated, crowd got behind the team after we went 1-0 down.

Infact the team got plenty of vocal encouraging support last season, not our fault they were pish.

Sorry silver but I don't think we did get behind the team when Hamilton scored. I'm not saying it was "our fault" we got relegated either but we have fans booing players as the team is read out, abusing subs before they are on the park and you have to wonder how that's going to help the player or the team. As I and others have said on this thread, Butcher was slated (rightly so) for knocking the confidence out of players and reducing any chance of them playing well but the guys in the stands wont accept that their abuse has the same effect.

This. I can remember the crowd getting behind us after going 1-0 down to Partick in May and against Killie too.

Comparing fans reactions during a match when emotions get expressed - both positive and negative - is surely not a valid comparison with how a team manager/head coach "deals with" the players under his charge.

In my experience fans generally get behind their team when things are going well and the team is winning. When things are going badly that's when the criticism starts. Fans get angry and frustrated.

How long has it been since we have seen a decent winning team at ER playing attractive football? It's just not on criticising the supporters of this club given what they have suffered recently. The blame for that lies elsewhere I'm afraid.

I think though that it sometimes depends on how much faith we have in the team to overcome whatever problem it is that they face at that time.

If Mowbray's team, or our previous first division team lost a goal, it would be a mere inconvenience on the way to another good result. Last season losing the first goal meant we lost the game, and we knew it.

When we have a team attempting to play decent football we'll cut them a lot of slack too.

We're on the right track now but we've got a long way to go before everyone will be fully convinced. And even then there are wallopers who victimise certain players and moan at everything.

I just read earlier that an Aberdeen player was quoted as saying that the Aberdeen fans were correct to boo the Aberdeen team off after their 0-3 defeat to Dundee Utd last Sunday.

Yet compare Aberdeen's performance last season with Hibs. This is the point I keep trying to get across. Hibs fans are no worse than any other group of football fans. Booing & criticising teams and players isn't anything new, and it's not going to somehow just disappear either, at Easter Road or anywhere else.
