Do Motherwell dislike us?

[SouthMoroccoStu]

"You're staying down with the hibees" being sung at the playoff match

I'm not precious but seems random

[Monts]

Just stolen from hearts I think

It's not random. We are seen as one of the bigger teams so fair game for getting ripped a bit.
Stop being so precious.:greengrin

Not random at all. It's completely true and it's being done to noise up The Rangers rather than a dig at us.

Don't see any problem with that.

Hibs are indeed staying down and now it looks like DerHun are as well.

[marinello59]

Aye, rangers are the real target. It's pretty funny really.

[Speedy]

The chat has been around which one of us is coming up, don't think the chant is personal it's just they've made sure it's neither.

[lucky]

We deserve all the slagging we get. Treble the support of Motherwell but been badly managed for years. Petrie must really more untouchable than Blatter

This weekend is just a sorry reminder of how our season finished. Missed a cup final & play off final due to failing to take our chances.

[Sprouleflyer]

A factually correct chant, they are indeed staying down with the Hibees.

[Glory Lurker]

Don't think it is "aimed" at us at all. And even if they didn't like us, they'd hardly be alone - I've only just started liking us again over the last couple of days!

Very short memories most Hibees have,that is all I can put it down to. Years and years of bloody misery!

[DH1875]

Just think, after we've won the league next season we can sing, down with the jambos :)

[SlickShoes]

Loads of folk hate hibs for some reason, we never cheated but that doesn't matter.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Regardless of us, their evident hatred of the Huns is admirable.

[Wilson]

Pleased for Motherwell. My first game was a 1-0 home win against them and I have had a soft spot for them as a rival ever since! Just banter. Hopefully we're back up playing the likes of them soon.

[Keith_M]

I don't really think that's the case. I don't think Motherwell Fans are particularly keen on Hibs but it really doesn't extend to much more than that.

I can't say I've ever encountered much hatred from Fans of Clubs other than Celtc, DerHun and the Yams

[Bronson]

Today we are all Steelmen, regardless of that chant.

[SaulGoodman]

Awfy sensitive

[The Harp]

What's the old saying ... better to be ridiculed than ignored.
Certainly not offended by the M'well fans chant. We were in the playoffs after all - besides "Staying down wi' Queen of the South" just doesn't sound right.:wink:

Funny as.

Well done the Well.

[HibbyAndy]

Just wait till Celtic play Hearts at Tynecastle the whole end will be singing 'Bring up the Hibees'

[ekhibee]

When I made the mistake of joining that Pie and Bovril thing towards the end of last season Motherwell fans were just about the worst. They sided with the Yams every time against the few Hibees that were on it and wouldn't let it go either. I live next to a Motherwell fan who is just the same. So personally I've not got any time for them or their ****ty wee club, the only good thing is that they've beaten Sevco who I dislike even more. I left Pie and Bovril ages ago anyway. That's just how I feel though, obviously others have a different opinion.

Its that "wee provincial town" thing.

They are just happy to noise up anyone showing weakness.

[emerald green]

Yes they do dislike us, and they've got that eejit prick Tam Cowan as a supporter.

As far as I'm concerned, the feeling is mutual.

[God Petrie]

No mark club with no mark fans.

No one likes us we don't care :greengrin

My wife's pals hubbie is a well fan. Happily informed me he detests Hibs and Celtc!! No reply when I asked him why those two in particular

[bigwheel]

Sounds like he would have had mixed emotions about today's result with those views ....

I always get strange looks when say I hate both the old firm inequal measures and indeed more than hearts. Especially now I stay on the west coast.. Maybe I am geographically bigoted

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

There's plenty very good reasons for hating them both. Can't see why a Motherwell fan would feel the need to hate us, other than us playing in green-as others have alluded to

[EH6 Hibby]

Did they not take issue with us appointing Coco the Clown as manager? Didn't think that would still bother them but maybe it does.

[lugz]

Maybe they just remember all the pumpings we used to hand out up there.

Ahh the good old days.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Motherwell have a loyalist hardcore who may dislike Hibs, due to their west of Scotland baggage of prejudice, but that's their problem. Most matchgoing Mothewell fans don't seem to care.

[emerald green]

Murrawell - a s***hole of a place. About as bad as Govan tbh.

[col02]

Couldn't give a flying one if they don't like us as the feeling is mutual on my part. Only decent thing about them is their away stand is decent.

[Onceinawhile]

No it isn't! The rake of the top deck is far too shallow.

[JJP]

I sure hope they don't like us because I don't have much time for them. In all honesty, if today's game wasn't against Rangers we'd all be on here talking about how their support acted today. Hitting McCulloch with a flag pole and invading the pitch to goad the Rangers supporters in the away stand. All very Yamish behavior in my opinion.

What is full list of clubs who`ve used admin ? Hearts , Motherwell , Livi , Airdrie ( not sure if it`s still the same club ) , Dundee , ...

I used to work through there and never noticed any bad feeling toward us from Motherwell FC fans but usual problem with Sevcos living in the town. Met a few decent Steelmen in fact and at least they reject the glory hunting/sectarian hatred option.

[Sir David Gray]

Not particularly keen on Motherwell as a club either so any of them who dislike Hibs, the feeling's pretty mutual.

Plus, Fir Park is a *****hole.

[Holmesdale Hibs]

Don't think they have anything specific against us, unless they hold a grudge over us nicking McLeish and Derek Townsley all those years ago.

I think the chant was more aimed at the current buns than us. Even if it was aimed at us then fair enough, if I was them I'd have a laugh at a bigger club in the division below. Nowt much else to sing about in Motherwell

[basehibby]

We are a bigger club from a bigger much better town - I'd almost be insulted if they didn't hate us a bit!

[Wellfan1984]

The only dislike in my experience and knowledge as a 'Wellfan myself of dislike towards Hibs from us in to a build up, during and for maybe an hour or so after a meeting between the two clubs.

Now if you were to say do we dislike Rangers, Celtic or Hearts then for many all three would be a resounding yes.

As for the song, it was aimed at Rangers fans as it only mentioned Hibs because you lost to them a week before. If it was Hearts, Falkirk etc. they would have been the named club

Thank you for taking the trouble to come on here and explain that Wellfan. What pisses a lot of Hibs fans off, understandably, is probably that we beat Sevco 4 times, finished above them in the league, deservedly, and still didn't get to the final of the playoffs. Motherwell were clearly the far better team over the 2 legs though.

That's been the jist of most of the comments on here mate.


p.s. Well done on pumping TheRangers

I am not sure we can say with hand on heart that any of that couldnt have happened if we had beaten them a week last Saturday. Dont have any great issue with Motherwell fans indeed one of my best mates at college was a big Well fan and a cracking guy. The guy sadly passed away too young so have a bit of a soft spot for Well.

The flag pole incident was surreal. In what kind of world does that happen?

The taunting of the away fans only happened cos it Sevco, surely.

Tell your wife she needs to get new pals.

Fir Park was the first Stadium I was ever thrown out of, so it holds fond memories for me

:greengrin



IIRC, the two police that manfully frogmarched me, a skinny 16 year old that weighed about nine stone, out of the ground said it was for "gesticulating at opposing Fans".

I had no idea what 'gesticulating' was and, TBH, it sounded quite rude

[Bad Martini]

Regardless of us, their evident hatred of the Huns is admirable.

:agree: ...fair to say, for 180 mins, most of their sins were forgivable in lieu of the fact the huns sins were far worse. :thumbsup:

True. Now they've skelped the huns, I return to my healthy dislike of the well.

Encountered their attitude both here and also once in Englandshire of all places (well fan in Englandshire furthering his career as a darts stall attendant on a seaside town pier :greengrin). Funny, if I was calling someone names and questioning their fitba team and their lack of balls owing to confrontations during the 1980's, I wouldnt then offer them three darts for a quid and keep my puss in the same post-code. Evidently he believed the stereotypes around Edinburgh punters all being from Morningside and had never been aqainted with a half Niddrie over the napper. Lucky wee **** there was none lying around either :greengrin

Anyways, they'll get humped next season again. And be in the same position again, ideally as we go up past them and they get the huns in the playoff, assuming the huns are still solvent :greengrin

[Greencore]

**** ground, **** fans, but James McFadden though.

[NOLA]

our first game after being promoted years ago was against motherwell, home stands were full so police told us to try the oppsite end, sat in the top tier behind Irvine Welsh of all people, and quite a few other Hibbies, had to put up with well fans saying "get into this green an white HIV 1st division *****" then Lehmann scored, we went mental and the police had to take us to the concourse at halftime before herding us into the already full east, happy days :)

[cabbageandribs1875]

i remember a game at fir park in the late 70's/early 80's, hibs support either side of the motherwell support in that stand that runs the length of the pitch, the usual two polis men for segregation...then a dart lands on a hibby just a few yards from where we were standing, turned around to have a look and the dart was sticking in the guys head ffs...aye, a ****** dart, tossed by a motherwell fan, cowardly wee mutha, although i do enjoy the wee short drive to fir park though :)

[Keith_M]

A bit random but here's a classic Motherwell v Hibs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr6qwx6CZlM) game from the 70s.


Been linked to loads of time on here before but no harm in having another look.

[Jones28]

Tam Ciwan supports them. He's an odious little **** at the best of times so **** off Motherwell.

[joe breezy]

I was in the Motherwell end on Sunday (booked my flight up for the weekend before Falkirk knocked us out of SC)

Had a great time

:greengrin Although not the first I do remember quite fondly being ejected there. Problem was when I got back to Stirling and went to the burdz house her old man, God rest his soul, ripped into me. He had been in the main stand. What peed me off was he had never offered me a lift to the game, or back!

I remember darts getting thrown at us at the old love street, hovel.
