James Keatings on twitter

[Stuarty27]

Currently posting things like come on the hoops and pictures at the game.

Anyone else think this is out of order??

[Onceinawhile]

No.

Nope. We'd be getting all excited if Griffiths was spotted in the Hibs end yesterday.

[Lancs Harp]

I'm a proud luddite and old school, to me twitter is out of order full stop. :greengrin

[hibsbollah]

No.

[sleeping giant]

I do .

Footballers should quietly support who they like.
Quietly.

[Iggy Pope]

He played for Celtic. Seems fair enough to me.

[djs69]

What a cock he is

[RoxburghHibs]

No problem at all. He supports another team so what.

[Stuarty27]

What if his tweet said come on the Gers

[matty_f]

What a cock he is

You stay classy.

[hibee_girl]

Just be happy he's not a Rangers fan :greengrin

[matty_f]

What if his tweet said come on the Gers

What if it did? Looking to be offended, imho.

[SlickShoes]

Footballers are humans and some of them support teams that aren't hibs. If he was in the rangers end it'd be different as they are in our league

[Blaster]

Maybe just wants a game in the final 😄

[SunshineOnLeith]

What if his tweet said come on the Gers

Would be a weird thing for a Celtic fan to tweet, tbf.

[trev the hat]

No issues from me, all it does though is open himself up for abuse.
He would be well advised to disable comments on his tweets judging by some of the comments.

[Diclonius]

Given that it's another Scottish team, I would keep it quiet. Plus, it directly impacts on us - some of his teammates can't play if Celtic win.

[green day]

He is a Celtic fan, can't see the problem.

Fairly sure Stokes wants them to win too.

[bingo70]

I just don't see what's in it for him to tweet things like that. I find stuff like that a bit annoying, not a sackable offence just a bit daft when you play for one of their competitors.

Just Dinnae tweet stuff like that and then there's no problem

[FromTheCapital]

Would you be saying anything if Stokes or Henderson tweeted about Celtic?

Think Stokes would rather score the winner against rangers in the final to be honest.

Stokes did - a journo said he would be looking for a rangers win - he replied "no I don't".

[FromTheCapital]

Stokes did - a journo said he would be looking for a rangers win - he replied "no I don't".

And that's absolutely fine.

[green day]

And that's absolutely fine.

Exactly. They are fans and want to win a Derby.

But they are tweeting as fans, not players.

[Keith_M]

Hibs player tweeting that he wants a team to win the other semi-final, which will have a direct result on Hibs' chances in the final.

Sorry, but that IS out of order.

[Hibs90]

Hibs player tweeting that he wants a team to win the other semi-final, which will have a direct result on Hibs' chances in the final.

Sorry, but that IS out of order.

Agreed. Disrespectful

[Frazerbob]

The Stokes comparison is nonsense, he is a Celtic player.

[keep the faith]

No problem with our players supporting other teams but yeah I kinda do think it disrespectful, as his team will be playing the winners of this particular match.

[Super_JMcGinn]

Given that it's another Scottish team, I would keep it quiet. Plus, it directly impacts on us - some of his teammates can't play if Celtic win.

This 100%.

[.Sean.]

It's not a sackable offence but a bit unprofessional and downright disrespectful IMO.

Not like it's one of our better players spouting it though, so in all honestly I couldn't care less.

[ManBearPig]

He can support who he wants griffiths is one of the most outspoken hibbies going even when he was unveiled at Celtic he made it clear who he supports! There is no issue with this.

[MWHIBBIES]

No time for that, he can support whoever he likes but he shouldn't be publicly making comments like that on social media while he is at Hibs.

[Keith_M]

The Stokes comparison is nonsense, he is a Celtic player.


...that won't be able to play in the Final if Celtc win, along with Henderson.

[21.05.2016]

If he's a celtic fan then fair enough, as long as it doesn't affect how he plays for us. We loved it when Griffiths did it with us.

[Super_JMcGinn]

...that won't be able to play in the Final if Celtc win, along with Henderson.
Stokes can't possibly come out and say anything else as he is a celtic employee, rank rotten question by the journo looking for a story.

[lucky]

He's only tweeted come on the hoops. Hardly crime of the century. I doubt it would stop in trying in a final against them

[hibsdaft]

I wonder what Liam Henderson is thinking watching this. if the huns win, he gets to play, but he's a massive Celtic fan by all accounts.

[hfc rd]

This

[squire]

As a fan he can support who he wants. We don't demand all our players are Hibs supporters and that's fine. It's the context that is very disrespectful as the other semi final has a direct consequence for us.

[Hibby Bairn]

I'd be surprised if Hibs don't have social media rules and guidelines re this.

[green day]

Going to be a mass sacking then, Jordan Sinclair (u 20) is also tweeting his support.

......or we can just accept that professional fitba players can support one team and play for another - shock horror!!

[Schteff]

Least he's not a hun

[1987kev]

If any us were professional footballers playing Celtic we would have done the same yesterday there's no problem here.

[.Sean.]

This type of post does my tits in.

Why would him being a Hun be any worse than him being a Celtic supporter?

Both clubs are absolute **** and posts like this, along with the numerous bangers on my Facebook chugging over the prospect of a 'green final' just adds to the nonsense notion we've some sort of affinity with Celtic. :rolleyes:

Hibs released Jordan earlier this week. He can tweet what he wants. Plus he's a Celtc fan. Seems fair to me.

As for Keatings. He's employed by Hibs and supports Celtc. I think he needs to show a bit of respect to Hibs and his team mates but it's subjective whether his tweet is disrespectful

[Hibby Bairn]

Hibs released Jordan earlier this week. He can tweet what he wants. Plus he's a Celtc fan. Seems fair to me.

Is that right? Didn't know that. Thought he was doing well?

[Eyrie]

Why are people getting upset about a Celtc fan supporting Celtc in a game which we're not playing?

If Keatings would rather face his own team is that any different to Griffiths wanting us to win yesterday? And there is the consideration that if it's Celtc then Stokes can't play which improves Keatings' chance of getting a start.

[.Sean.]

Dry yer eyes pal
Just you stick to sitting in the house with a box of Kleenex watching your big team wee man :aok:

Hibs released Jordan earlier this week

Ah, didn't know that?

Odd as he scored 2 v huns last week.

[Hibby D]

Ah, didn't know that?

Yup and released him the following day. Odd indeed because a few days after that he was nominated for young player of the year. Good luck to the laddie - I think letting him go will come back to bite us on the bahookie!

The only thing worse than playing Rangers in the final would be the 'spectacle' of a faux friendly all green final.

[One Day Soon]

What if his tweet said come on the Gers

What if it did? I'd probably like it more.

[The Harp]

Glad it's gone to extra time. Tire the Huns out for Wed and a possibility of yellow cards or a red ruling out some players appearing in the Final.

[DaveF]

Nope Jordan Sinclair has definitely been released. :aok:

Looks like both have been released as there is an article on the Berwick site saying how they want McGregor following his release from Hibs. No wonder I'm confused :-)

[green day]

Wrong Jordan - other thread says................


Jordan mcgregor


Released by hibs on Friday apparently according to Berwick Rangers website

http://www.berwickrangers.com/coughlin-id-love-to-keep-mcgregor-around/

Berwick manager John Coughlin admitted that he’d love to keep Jordan McGregor at Shielfield following his release from Hibernian at the weekend, but has acknowledged that it’s unlikely he’ll be plying his trade in Black and Gold next season.

“Jordan was released from Hibernian on Friday night, and that left me with a decision to make. I needed to ensure he was mentally sound for the match.

Was just about to post that. Sean was definitely involved in the warm up yesterday.

[HibsNutter]

Bit naive to say the least, but I'm fine with it. He supports Celtic and would love to play them in the final. Griffiths would have wanted us to win yesterday. Griffiths actively attends our games while contracted to Celtic. It's fine.

Spot on.

Hope not, smelly wee fud.

Scott Allen and Scott Brown will undoubtedly be there with him.

What's the problem?

[basehibby]

He is a Celtic fan, can't see the problem.

Fairly sure Stokes wants them to win too.

Why would Stokes have wanted Celtic to win? - Celtic fan or not he's a pro footballer to whom the chance of winning a cup winners medal would surely mean more. He and Henderson would keep pretty quiet about it but I'd be surprised if both of then were not hoping for a Rangers win today so as they can play in the final.

[Siralbertkidd]

Scott Allen and Scott Brown will undoubtedly be there with him.

What's the problem?

None of them have enough loyalty points :dunno::dunno::dunno:

[MWHIBBIES]

Scott Allen and Scott Brown will undoubtedly be there with him.

What's the problem?Allan is a hun, don't think him being in our end will go well. Brown can also GTF.

I don't want guys who kiss the Celtic badge taking actual Hibs fans tickets.

Bang on 100% correct. How can any right minded Hibby have an affinity with Celtic just cos they play in green, they are still one half of the bigot brothers - **** them both indeed.

He'll be trying Lots of percent if he gets on the park in the final.Support who he wants. Everyone else does.

I think it's more to do with how they view hibs. There's an element of rangers fans who detest us because of our background while there is an element of celtic fans who are sickeningly patronising for the same reason. I think one is slightly worse than the other.

[DaveF]

I wonder which end Ivan will be in ;-)

[MWHIBBIES]

Is it okay if Deek sits in the Hibs end.He can do what he likes, so can Griffiths and naturally, so can I. I have no time for Griffiths while he plays for Celtic, same with Riordan when he was there. Disgusting club.

Would everyone on here be fine with Griffiths sitting in our end taking a Hibs fans ticket if he played for Hearts? How about Rangers? Very much doubt it.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Allan is a hun, don't think him being in our end will go well. Brown can also GTF.

I don't want guys who kiss the Celtic badge taking actual Hibs fans tickets.



Never understand opinions like this! There's a thread on here about how great it is that John Doolan shows as much passion as he does for hibs, thumping the badge is a very similar act to kissing it, I'm sure John is a supporter of another club whoever that is. I think it's just a case that these guys are showing their respective fans how much they care.

Leigh Griffiths is very much still an "actual Hibs fan"

[Eyrie]

Bleep the pair of them.

Easy Mr Angry, you need to chill out a bit.

Deek will be there supporting his team, no badge kisser of that club.


"I always kiss the Hibs badge, I'm a fan so I wouldn't kiss any other," Riordan told the Hibs website.

That's what i was thinking. He might be the guy who hits the winner.

Sorry, but that IS out of order.

:agree:

I'm not that worked up about it, but IMO it's not very professional behaviour.

I don't think he should have attended the match, given that Hibs could have been playing the team he supports in the final.

[Famous Fiver]

If Leigh is sitting beside me in the Hibs end I won't be upset.

If he leads the sing song on Saturday night after the match down ER way I won't be upset.

If he sings Sunshine on Leith I won't be upset.

If he tweets ' Mon the Hibs' I won't be upset.

If he then gets sacked by Celtic I won't be upset!!!

Not a big deal for me, if Celtic had won it would have given him a better chance of starting in the final.

If he is a Celtic fan it follows by definition he hates Rangers and will want to ram them in the final.

I'm sure. They would be gutted to not be able to be involved in a cup final, celtic fans or not. They have a chance now to become heroes.

[bingo70]

if people aren't bothered who he supports, why do they care if he mentions it on twitter...people are way to sensitive...if it was someone supporting Hibs they would be delighted...

Why bother putting it on Twitter though? Who benefits from him doing that?

Then the daft point about it not being a crime.....nobody has said it was a crime so he's as guilty for over reacting as anyone but ultimately it could all have been avoided if he just shut up and enjoyed watching the game.

Fwiw I'm pleased his team got pumped and hope he's had a mingin day

Others do it >>>> our own Sparky makes it well known what his team is.
Nothing to see here ........ 🙂

[SJM]

Especially when the winners play his team in the final.

Wouldn't surprise me if he has thrown his dummy out because he's not getting game time like over at the tramps.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Doesn't bother me.

[chrisski33]

Dont see what the big deal is tbh. Dont see anyone complaining if griffiths tweeted cmon hibs etc. Griffiths had taken one of his sons down to see hibs players at training recently.

[High-On-Hibs]

You support the team that pays your wages, not the potential opposition. We're far too relaxed about these kind of things. It puts player commitment into serious doubt.

[Teo10]

Oh. My. Days.:bitchy:

[Thecat23]

Another case of folk looking to go out their way to be offended. I couldn't care if Keatings had a Celtic top on under his Hibs strip. He's a professional footballer who was brought up watching them. Like Leigh he still attends matches when he can.

Get over it, he's a Hibs player and will give his best while in the Hibs strip!

[High-On-Hibs]

Aye?! So you're a die hard Hibby?! You get a contract with Berwick Rangers, so you're now a Berwick Rangers fan? Bizarre way of thinking.:rolleyes:

If I played for Berwick Rangers and there was a chance that we could be facing Hibs in a cup competition, I would NOT be openly backing them over social media in that competition. I would be wanting the club that I play for to win the cup. It would be seriously wrong for me to think otherwise. How you could think otherwise is truly bizarre.

Paul Paton tweeted his support for The rangers Yesterday and was forced to apologize this morning, I don't particularly care about Keatings tweet as we won on sat however if we had lost I would be a tad angry.

If I played for Berwick Rangers and there was a chance that we could be facing Hibs in a cup competition, I would NOT be openly backing them over social media in that competition. I would be wanting the club that I play for to win the cup. It would be seriously wrong for me to think otherwise. How you could think otherwise is truly bizarre.

What's truly bizarre is you stating that because he wanted Celtic to win that game he wants them to win the cup.

There is no evidence of that whatsoever.

You would go nuts if one of your mates who was a Hibs supporter started supporting Hearts.

These guys were football supporters long before they were players and are likely to be long afterwards.

Why should they stop going with their mates / family / children to see their team as long as there are no conflict of interests.

There are very few examples of players taking a fall against the team they support, they would be out the game in no time if they ever did.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Probably thinking his only chance to play in the fina was if stokes and hendo couldn't play 😂

[Alex Trager]

He responded to a tweet this morning saying he didnt want rangers to win, the journo was saying him and henderson would want rangers to win so they could play in the final

None of us wanted the Rangers to win. It's just the better outcome

*ducks*

[chrisski33]

You support the team that pays your wages, not the potential opposition. We're far too relaxed about these kind of things. It puts player commitment into serious doubt.

What aload of bull*****

[Billychaotic182]

Lots of players no longer hide who they support and I don't see a problem with it.

Liam Buchanan - Livingston captian openly a hibs fan
Darren McGregor when at Rangers - openly a hibs fan
Dean Brett - Cowdenbeath full back - massive hibs fan
Leigh Griffiths- Celtic player - well you know the rest
Lewis Vaughan - raith striker - hibs fan

Don't see anyone offended when these players talk about there love for hibs.

Yes the winner plays hibs but him supporting a team that hasn't played each other much in years isn't a bad thing. Only problem people have is the fact that we don't like Rangers or Celtic

Nobody is saying you can't support another team or that you should hide the fact. Just don't be all over Twitter or Facebook banging on about it especially when we are waiting in the final for the winner of the game. The fact that so many are upset by it tells you it was a stupid thing to do.

[SJM]

I think the difference here is the match in question that Keattings was tweeting about directly involved his current club.

If we lost on pens on Sat there would have been no issue but with us facing the winners why would he wish the batter side technically so publicly?

[Waxy]

This should be put away into the "No big deal" box.

If we had lost on Saturday what would it have mattered?

I do .

Footballers should quietly support who they like.
Quietly.



:agree: Indeed. Especially when the team they're currently playing for has an interest in the result of the game they're raving on about.

And if Celtic had won the shoot-out yesterday, and we were playing THEM in the final, who would wee James be wanting to win THEN?

(Given that without Henderson and Stokes he might have been quite an important player for us?)

Tend to agree no big deal if he was going to the game with mates or family however dont see the need for him to be publicising it.

Wrong!

Paton having the same problem with Dun. Utd fans re tweets. They would be better avoiding twitter completely.

It would be better if the fans took a more mature attitude when considering whether one of their players deserves abuse for being a fan of a different team.

Keatings and Paton can support who they like, just as long as they give 100% for the team they are playing for regardless of the opposition.

Don't see what the Utd fans issues are - their team was already out and it mattered not a jot who won the old firm match to them. It did to us though.

[silverhibee]

Tweeter twitter twatter.

Who cares who he supports, he will do his best for Hibs when he is played. That's all that counts.

He was supporting the winner of which the outcome directly goes against Hibs.

[portyhibernian]

It's the complete lack of self awareness. The fact he's a Celtic fan who went to the game isn't a problem, but don't then declare your love for Celtic while playing for another team, one which could have been playing Celtic in the Scottish cup final, and then act all surprised when that annoys the fans of the team you play for. Stupid thing to do IMO.

St Mirren considering a Twitter ban for their players.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Couldn't care less to be honest ..... I'm positive that if it had been Celtic in the final Keatings would still have given his all to win the game if selected for the team. My recurring nightmare lately was of Leigh Griffiths scoring the winner for Celtic against us on the 21st of May, thankfully that cant happen now.

[Geo_1875]

Did anyone send him a GIRFUY when his team got beat?

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Don't see what the Utd fans issues are - their team was already out and it mattered not a jot who won the old firm match to them. It did to us though.

Probably because their fans tend to hate everything about Rangers. They are also pissed off that their team are about to be relegated and that they were put out the cup 24 hours before by a championship side in poor form. Putting anything at all on Twitter that could annoy his fans was stupid. Then again, he doesn't seem the brightest.

[Andy74]

I see Alan Stubbs is planning to speak to him and the players generally about this sort of thing.

Tend to agree that it is just a bit daft to be tweeting about support for other teams. I hadn't realised he had been tweeting about being up early for the 'big game'.

It's just a lack of thought - Hibs games should be the big games for him. They should all be aware of how their own fans will take this. Just no need to be tweeting about it.

[HappyHanlon]

If he's annoyed about it, then feel free to leave. Sub at best.

[Teo10]

Bet a fair few are the ones who would abuse Nade for 89 minutes of a game then when he scores in the 90th and gives a bit back, they get really upset about him doing it.
