Derek Lyle

[AngusHibby]

Anyone know why he was near enough climbing into the West Stand looking for a fight? Made a right idiot of himself

[Thecat23]

That's were I sit mate but wasn't there today. My mate who I sit with said he was asking Farid for a square go and shouting to the fans that we are *****!

Mate says the fans around him were going mad.

[Greencore]

What happened?

[AngusHibby]

What happened?
After the goal he was having a back and forth with someone in the crowd and then tried to climb into the stand to fight the guy. Couldn't see who he was shouting at though. He was pretty determined to have a fight though. He's probably a hun

[givescotlandfreedom]

He was wasting as much time as possible coming off and whinging all day at the weak ref. Get it right up you, Lyle :giruy2::giruy2:

[essexhibee]

Saw on Twitter someone saying he was imitating playing the flute?!

[Twiglet]

He was.

[truehibernian]

Floodlights probably dazzling his teeth causing blindness - I'd imagine his disappointment was the team he supports getting humbled at Falkirk and not the fact the team who employs him got beat 😉

[.Sean.]

He's always had a face you'd just love to smash the **** out of :agree:

Let's no even start on his fake tan or his fake teeth. Absolute extra of a human being :faf:

Roond ye, fannybawz :aok:

is this the same fudley

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-13044270 from 2011

A Greenock Morton football player has appeared in court charged with drug dealing.
Derek Lyle, 30, and his girlfriend Nicola Mullen, 29, were both charged with being concerned in the supply of illegal substances.


certainly has all the credentials to be a jakey hun ned

[maturehibby]

Was being held back at the end by one of the coaching staff as he knew he was going to kick off at full time Tosser

[truehibernian]

To put some perspective on things - the good QotS side was cherry picked in summer of all it's decent players - Derek Lyle stayed put - tells you everything - more concerned about his teeth and hair than football

best thing about his reaction is that it will have mirrored all the sevco fans watching Soccer Saturday thinking "phew, at least Hibs didn't win today.. Ah wtf, 94th minute!"

Rangers absolutely hate hibs now, for me that's been our biggest success over the last few years. Until then they merely disliked us but I love how we've ramped it up a notch while they've been at their lowest

[emerald green]

Yep, can just imagine "Mason Boyne's" face when that goal popped up on the Teletext, or the boy on Sportscene says "oh wait, there's been a late goal at Easter Road!" Magic. :greengrin

[Spike Mandela]

The last minute goal, the wee laddie on the pitch being chased by the steward and then this fud along with most of thw Queen's bench doing their nut at the end fair made my Christmas...........****ing hilarious.:cb

[Famous Fiver]

Poor, poor show from Lyle.

Pity it all exploded in his face (and his equally cheating team mates.

We were far too lethargic and should have had the game put to bed in first 15 minutes.

Subs were not a minute too soon and changed the game.

Top marks to the crowd for sticking with it right to the end.

By the way, anyone else notice that all these poor wee Falkirk lambs who took such a physical beating last week were all fit for their game today?

[Arch Stanton]

tbh the likes of QoS, Falkirk, Raith and Morton are making this campaign quite tasty.

All the cheating just adds to the competitiveness and it's pleasing that Hibs are not being gentlemanly and sportsmanlike about it.

[HarpyHibby]

Lyle gave us in the west his best flute imitation. Absolutely no need for it. After that, Farid seemed to square up to him. I'll be filling in a sectarian hate crime report. Nothing will happened but it's worth the hassle.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

I guess any team that loses a point or points when the game is all but over has weak and inadequate members .

What a tosser. He does have that 'hun look' about him.

Where was Farid about?

[The Harp Awakes]

When Hibs scored and we all went mad he turned round to the West and did the flute mime a la Gascoigne. He got pelters but rather than hiding he then tried to square up to everyone that was having a go. What a fud. Hope QoS take some action against him but I doubt it.

[Twiglet]

What a tosser. He does have that 'hun look' about him.

Where was Farid about?


He was standing behind the Hibs dugout in the seats that are sectioned off for club staff. They ended up pulling the tunnel out early so Lyle couldn't get to him, he had already gone for him at least once by that point.

Their assistant manager was also going nuts when we scored. He was away into the Hibs technical area and had to be pulled back.

i doubt very much his club will discipline him, not if the management and other staff acted like neds

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

More sensitive souls as us would have reported the bigot to the European courts of human rights by now. Or whaeever.Proof that sectarianism is alive and well and tolerated in Scotland by the football association.

Personally I'm not offended by a moron pretending to play a flute but if we're trying to create an intelligent, modern society in Scotland (and sport) then this needs to be taken to task.

[Greencore]

Saw on Twitter two in named players have been cautioned by police for racist abuse.

Saw on Twitter two in named players have been cautioned by police for racist abuse.

I wonder if it was something said to Dom. 2 of their players went up to him and had a go (if you have hibs tv watch the 2nd half replay and go to about 50 mins in). He's walking past and they go over to him and say something. It really upset Dom and he had to be pulled away. If it is that they should be facing lengthy bans.

[PISTOL1875]

Derek Lyle was mouthing off to the fans and when the Hibs official who stands at the tunnel went over to him and told him to cut it out , he seemed to lose the plot.. Shouting at the crowd '' yoos are p1sh '' and then he started playing the flute..

[Pretty Boy]

Welcome to modern Scotland eh?

Racist abuse and some jolly sectarian high jinx. Glad Dom answered them in the best way possible.

It's probably worth pointing out Derek Lyle is 34 years old. 34 and pretending to play a flute for a reaction, you'd almost understand it from a stupid young boy but a man in his mid 30s? Pathetic.

[SausageSurprise]

A poster on one of the threads (might actually have been on the bounce) said that he was squaring up to Tam McCourt until Forster and Stanton stepped in

[DaveF]

Saw on Twitter two in named players have been cautioned by police for racist abuse.

If that's true then surely they will face lengthy bans? Dom was very, very angry at the end so something happened.

[Bostonhibby]

Sounds like a wannabe gangster, trying to impress the huns but only really a leg end in Dumfries, or is it a bell end?

If Scottish football is serious about its credibility it's pretty easy to deal with his conduct you'd think?

Wouldn't be surprised if that's the case. Their players totally lost the plot at the end. Flute miming and racial abuse. Deary me. A strong statement from QoS needed as a minimum ASAP, stating that they won't tolerate this kind of nonsense.

[Carheenlea]

If this is true, we must support Dominique and demand that any culprit be sanctioned in the strongest terms. Sectarianism has always been dealt with in a half hearted manner up here, but with racism we must demonstrate absolute zero tolerance.

[Sir David Gray]

Anyone associated with Queen of the South, who has racially abused Dominique Malonga, should be sacked by the club and arrested by the police.

Enough to make him submit a complaint to the correct authority. Is he not allowed to do that?

[NAE NOOKIE]

If Lyle was giving it the old 'air flute' he should be slaughtered by the SPFL. If there is any defence of that when Celtic are involved and a Rangers player does it I suppose inter club rivalry can be cited ..... nonsense, but it can happen in a situation where sectarianism is endemic. That's still inexcusable though and should be hammered.

When a QotS player does it at Easter Road its no better than sectarianism on the street and as far as I'm concerned the police should be involved. In fact as far as the SPFL go, what better chance to get stuck into this issue without the OF even being involved.

As for racist abuse of Dom .... If that is proved then the police should also be involved as a matter of course, there is utterly no place for it !

[Pretty Boy]

How offended were you by a man playing a pretend flute?

It's not really the point though is it?

I find it sad and pathetic but I'm not offended. However we are supposedly trying to rid the game of bigotry and sectaranism so how can we ignore a player indulging in that kind of behaviour? Surely simply pretending it didn't happen is just more sweeping stuff like this under the carpet and pretending it doesn't happen.

[blackpoolhibs]

Of course he is, i just find it funny that ANYONE could possibly be that upset over this to complain and fill in a hate crime report.

QotS will have a lot to think about. Players being out of order need leadership from their manager as well as club. Derek Lyle, by accounts on here, squared up to several of Hibs staff including Farid, and made sectarian display of himself to incite supporters. The football authorities, his club need to make example of his players too.

It'd be great if Hibs came out with a statement against sectarianism, specifically from Saturday but also in general regards to Rangers, Celtic etc. It'd add some heat to next week but it needs to be done and who better than our maestro in communication Leeann?

True but it's a fairly unsubtle wind up intended to provoke a response and not the sort of thing you do with mates to get the "f£$k 0%% ya wind up merchant" in the banter stakes. Unlike the unwitting Gascoine when his Blue chums McCoist and Durant told him how the celebrate. If DL did it, he knew what he was doing and the reaction it's likely to get.

Derek Lyle is 35 and a convicted drug dealer. His reaction to the team he's paid to pay for losing in the last few seconds was to make sure that everyone in the West Stand knew that he is a Loyalist Protestant. He obviously, therefore, labours under the impression that we are all Catholics, and/or that we would be offended by his pretend flute playing. He should be tarred with the sickening secterian brush, as he is someone who seeks to offend people he thinks are of a different religion to him.

[Pretty Boy]

You don't see a difference between playing bagpipes, an instrument synonymous with Scotland, in support of your country and pretending to play a flute because of some misguided belief that all Hibs fans are taigs who'll be wound up by it?

if he thinks that "all Hibs fans must be catholics" and more still, thinks we care about religion in football..he must have a tiny little brain...it's almost 2016, Derek. Most people in Scotland have moved on from those moronic views...

His patter was murder too..."You're P+*# " on repeat... I've heard better banter on "off the ball"

And then, at age of 35, to want to square go someone for pulling them up about it...brilliant! Not sure he is going to have a big career on the after dinner speaking circuit! :greengrin

I don't know what he was thinking, and neither does anyone who was there. I do know he was trying to wind folk up, and it clearly worked.

I still think playing an imaginary flute is not a hate crime, hopefully we will find out in the future.

Personally i'd have laughed, laughed at his stupidity.

[Hedlund12]

I said the same in another thread and I'll say it here.
It was ugly at the end of the game.
Fist the twat from QOS dugout noising up the hibs fans.
There was an animated to55*r sign being made by several rows in front of me.
I saw coins being thrown from supporters in the West at the QOS dugout and I'll be honest... it annoyed me. Hibs fans are quick to condemn this tpye of behaviour a Ibrox and it was disappointing to witness it at ER.
Another one of their players squared up (head to head) with one of our players. Oxley stepped in as did Stubbs and split it up.
Further up the park Dom was raging, I suspected something sh*ty had happened to him or been said, he was fizzing mad. He was being held back by a Hibs security guy.
I said to my son "wouldn't surprise me if there was a red card given after the game".
I still left ER a very happy camper at Hibs "fighting" spirit. 😂

[truehibernian]

A fair point - however if you are looking for examples of morality then football ain't the place for anyone to find it - Wee Gordon gave a tremendous opinion on morality in football during the World Cup punditry........I do however find it very very sad that an adult, who has kids, and is a professional footballer, sees the need to have a 'not so disguised' go at Hibs fans which he knows is based on a religious premise (if he has done so)........very very sad indeed that there are people out there still clinging on to their sectarian ideology in what should be a modern, diverse Scotland.

A normal football fan, as you say, offends or takes offence during 90 minutes of a football match then goes home and doesn't rant again in similar fashion until the next game :greengrin - there are some however on the Old Firm side who live and breath this nonsense 24/7 and 'breed it' into their children......a never ending conveyor belt of prejudice. Very sad men and women indeed :agree:

Has anyone actually got footage of the player doing it ? Is so then the football authorities should be hammering him and his club fining him.

You only have to check that coupon out for two seconds to realise that someone in the Lyle family knew someone else in the Lyle family fairly intimately 35 years ago!

[hibbypostie]

You don't see a difference between playing bagpipes, an instrument synonymous with Scotland, in support of your country and pretending to play a flute because of some misguided belief that all Hibs fans are taigs who'll be wound up by it?


you might have a better argument if you didn't use the word taig when you're arguing against sectarianism

[Scottie]

The blirt is a non entity. Classless. A nobody.

Glad he's never had the opportunity to represent our wonderful club.

I used that particular word quite deliberately.

[The Harp Awakes]

Now this is different, but you knew that didn't you? I still wouldn't be bothered, and again would have laughed at his stupidity and ignorance.

What's the difference? A Nazi salute is seen as being anti-Semitic and a flute gesture is seen as being anti-Catholic. It doesn't matter what the 'anti' is it's not acceptable behaviour.

The wee goat deserves the book thrown at him and maybe it will take a police complaint to do something about this crap to make sure it doesn't happen again. The SFA will do naff all as they're part of the problem.

[blackpoolhibs]

Flute playing is anti Catholic, well that's another thing I have learnt today.

I'm not so sure miming flute playing is anti- Catholic in the same way that singing the Sash isn't. Of course it all depends on what imaginary song he was playing on his imaginary flute. I think. :greengrin

[blackpoolhibs]

I was under the impression it's an orange walk thing, which is legal in this country. I think they are all as daft as a brush but playing the flute is not a hate crime.

[Kato]

I'm not an Orangeman but have played some (actual) flute in the past, nice instrument. I've even programmed some virtual flute on a synthesizer.

An imaginary flute, however, is a different thing altogether. It's the sign of an insecure, bairnbrained bawbag and Lyle has outed himself.

[silverhibee]

I doubt it is a hate crime, but will the compliance officer have to look at it, what was Gasgoine's punishment for doing it, apart from the death threats. :rolleyes:

[blackpoolhibs]

I disagree, I think it's more to do with people wanting to be offended when there's nothing to be offended about. Laughing at the dafty would have confused the clown.

Yip the law is the law and the SFA may throw the book at him, but i very much doubt that the law will find him guilty of any hate crime which is where I came in to this.

[FranckSuzy]

He knew what he was doing and we know why he was doing it. Rather than a hate crime, I would say it's incitement, if that's an offence. However, we had already got in there first - courtesy of King Dom - so :giruy2:

[Kato]

Yip the law is the law and the SFA may throw the book at him, but i very much doubt that the law will find him guilty of any hate crime which is where I came in to this.

[ian cruise]

I don't think it's bigotry, I'd probably go as far to say that if it is classed as such starts to detract from real issues. However there's still a case to answer to the authorities. He set out to incite the fans, if enough had reacted then there could have been a real incident. He put people's safety at risk by purposely trying to get a negative reaction.

[Stax]

The whole thing just saddens me. Imagine trying to explain this walloper miming playing a flute, his reasons for doing so and the reaction to someone with no knowledge of Scottish football...

[ian cruise]

I think you came into this to be argumentative, for the sake of being argumentative.

He's got a point, though I maybe don't wholeheartedly agree. When we are talking about such serious topics it's not black and white, there are shades of grey. It's interesting to see people's point of view and I'd also argue that whether BH is playing Devils advocate pr he genuinely believes his stance it's great that the conversation has stayed at a mature and sensible level for the most part, which is unusual for a football forum.

[PatHead]

Surely gesturing to the crowd in any manner should be looked at by the compliance officer. (ask Leigh) Or is it just Hibs players?

Wonder how Doncaster would explain this type of behaviour if his vision of having games played abroad pans out. You just know he wants Sevco involved in that.....

[silverhibee]

We do seem to get more attention from the compliance officer than other clubs do, there's a long list.

And the CO had a dislike for Griffiths when he was at Hibs, but he pleads guilty to a racial offence while at Celtc and not a word from the CO about it, pretty sure Celtc fined and banned him for the incident but I'm sure the SFA/SPFL/CO were waiting on the outcome of the court case, has it been forgotten about now because he plays for Celtc.

Has Lyle been caught on video being a dafty, did the 4th official see it or the linesman, if not it won't even go before the CO. Pity if so, would be nice to see him get a ban for being a idiot.

[Mibbes Aye]

Good post.

If you knew nothing about Scotland it would blow your mind to meet someone with Derek Lyle's mindset.

What an embarrassment

I was in the West Upper, too far away and didn't pick up on his verbal. If what's been suggested is true then it's breach of the peace surely and possibly more severe.

Onus on the police to act if that was the case, they need to be seen to be setting a threshold about what's acceptable in our society.

[Forza Fred]

Having left Scotland in 1974, When I read such posts about this guys alleged behaviour at a professional sporting fixture, I can do little more than shake my head and hope that people in my adopted homeland do not hear about it, and ask me to explain.

Surely the current footballing body should take action against him?

[esjorto]

I tried to explain this to some Canadian friends here. One of them understood it but refused to believe it, the others....well.... I may as well have been speaking in an obscure foreign language.

So Lyle omitted the part where he displays a sectarian gesture then in an interview states:

The striker added: “For a boy who is not even in the squad, not even on the bench, to want me in the tunnel is a mystery to me..........."

The impression Lyle gives me is that he would have been pleased to have some strapping guy like Farid want him in the tunnel. :greengrin

Did anybody here actually see him doing the flute thing? His account of events after the goal was scored between him and the crowd are pretty much as I saw it at the time. We were giving him pelters and he was giving us it back. He would have been better keeping the conversation between himself and Farid private though, heat of the moment stuff surely with one as bad as the other.

There was an interview with Jon Daly in the Herald a couple of years back.

Largely a "lifestyle piece" style interview but he talked about being a Catholic player at the rangers.
The combination of the light hearted tone sat very oddly with his comments about his religion causing him to be treated a bit oddly when he was buying chips and the like.

What really struck me was if you'd substituted in being black for every mention of being Catholic is would have been so obviously unacceptable that it made you realise just how strange it is that this sectarian guff is seemingly accepted.

[QMU-1875]

Great summary of the whole incident from Kenny Clark in today's Sun....says Colvin was right to drop the ball where he did and if QOS should be angry at anyone it's their own player Miller for trying to time waste and not contest the drop ball.

Identical story to to what was in the DR today. Looks like a PR job on Queens part to avoid repercussions for Lyle's actions. As Lyle himself inadvertently says, Hibs would be celebrating the win, why start a fight?
PS, unsurprisingly the DR goes further & suggests Farid will only avoid action because ref didn't see it. They also use "brawl" in the headline for a story which goes on to say there was no, em, "brawl". Cutting edge journalism as ever.

Lyle's a snivelling Hun coward. ' He challenged me to a square go in the tunnel and I would have gone for it, if I hadn't been held back. (metaphorically by Stubbs telling him to screw the nut). Sour grapes and stirring up a mountain out of a molehill.

From where I was sitting, it looked like it was Lyle that was challenging Farid and telling him he would see him in the tunnel...going mental and getting held back. Farid was just standing there cool as you like which seemed to be winding him up even more. Might have been different in the tunnel, but that's what I saw before the tunnel was pulled out...

I was standing right behind Farid and that's how it happened. They pulled the tunnel out early so Lyle couldn't get to Farid (and possibly in the hope he would calm down of he wasn't able to see him).

Saw the entire incident. I'm 3 rows behind the away dugout and yes, happened 100%. As well as the flute act, It was also the way he was conducting himself like a total ned, screaming stuff at the crowd (couldn't make out what it was). He was reacting to the Hibs fans celebrating the goal and then tried to pick a fight with someone on the Hibs bench. He manufactured the situation himself and was completely unprovoked in the lead up.

Trust me I seen it with my own eyes. I sit 8 rows behind away dugout and he clearly mimiced playing the flute and was going berzerk being held back long before anything happened in the tunnel.

The red mist had descended and he represented perfectly a bad loser, a bigot and a thug in everything he was doing towards the end.

I don't think ignoring it is the way to go to be honest. Firstly we have someone accusing one of the clubs employees of something they did not do and tarnishing their reputation. The employee deserves the backing of his employer by them addressing the misrepresentation. When addressing it however I would love the club to ask why this was published without asking Hibs or the player for their comments (unless of course they did ask but can't see how they would have gone with the story if Hibs had given the true events)

Secondly, it shouldn't be Stubbs taking this up but a more senior official at the club allowing AS to knock back questions saying it's being dealt with by someone else and I don't have anything to say on the matter.

Finally when one of our regular posters was accused by the same rag of attacking a Rangers bus they were forced to withdraw their story as a number of people contacted them with the true version of what happened. Those of you who did witness it could / should contact the rag and put forward their view of events.
