Apples on the pitch

[StevieT]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before in any other thread. If so then this can be closed.

In the second half yesterday an apple was thrown at the east stand assistant near to the corner flag at the FF end. A second apple was then thrown at the same assistant when Cummings scored. At this point the assistant called over the referee and he then went to the tunnel to report it to the security guy. This will surely appear in the referee's report which in turn will mean some sort of trouble for the club.

This is not the sort of thing that we want to see at Easter Road and even more so when we are still waiting on the result of the Hampden 'riots'.

[Finn2015]

I know noticed it myself as I sit in the FF. Absolutely brain dead. Have to wonder about some people.

[WoreTheGreen]

Some real cox s go to games

[Malthibby]

Folk in that area must have noticed who did this, assuming it was the same guy both times. Shop him.

:agree: Up to the fans to police ourselves and get these morons to ****, they aren't welcome in our support.

[Pretty Boy]

Linesman pointed it out to the ref so it will be in his report.

Just what we need with a compliance officer report about Hampden on the horizon. Morons doesn't even get close.

Who the hell takes Apples to the fitbaw?

You do know that many on here find puns a little unappeeling. :wink:

[WoreTheGreen]

Aye just the hardcore

[Twiglet]

There were apples getting thrown at the back of the west post match. No idea where they were coming from. We looked up but couldn't see anyone at the windows and it would have been difficult to throw them from there with the way they were open. Bunch of weirdos.

[KeithTheHibby]

Apparently they were thrown by Granny Smith.

[WoreTheGreen]

You piped me to it

[NGP]

2 apples? Does that make it a pear?

[Silversand]

Standing outside the West after the game, and a bunch of yoofs (no colours) wandered by - 1 of them eating an apple. He then launched it the general direction of a steward standing at the stadium, missing him.

Him & his mates thought this was all very funny.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Very silly, the hardcore bad apples really need to be pruned from our support. But keep it in perspective - no need to get too crabby, plenty golden moments yesterday, and at least things didnt crumble after the players had grafted for the win.

[caithnesshibee]

Nearly as stupid as the guy throwing the bottle of beer at the steward at the Shrewsbury game, this after he let the same person down a small bottle of wine. Mental

1973 ish - evening game against the Huns (must have been a league cup game, as it was still quite light before ko)

I was about 15 years old, 6 foot plus and weighed around 8 stone - had all the strength of a Junior Dispirin.. Was also wearing one of those builders hats, painted green with Paddy Stanton, etc, written on it in white, and with my green cap sleeved tshirt, I thought I looked ace, but oh dear...

Lower East was taken up half Hibs and half Huns, and just before the teams came out I felt this force on my left shoulder that felt to me like I'd been hit by a double decker SMT doing 80mph.

I'm literally launched 7 or 8 rows down the terracing, banging off people and finally coming to rest on my girlie-faced coupon. I'm picked up, by all the Hibbies round me and they're saying "help the laddie up, *** animals - wtf was that.??!"

Then, it's spotted on the ground where I'd been standing - some Hun had brought a large tattie into the game and hit a bullseye with the green domed bean stalk sticking oot like a dream sitting target.!!

The only thing more bruised than my bony shoulder was my fragile young ego.!!

If only there'd been security keeping vegetables out of grounds in those days it would never have happened - the guilty thrower would not have got in that evening -- and none of his fellow Huns would have either.!!

I saw one coming on to the pitch and thought that it had come on from outside the ground.

[High-On-Hibs]

Some bad apples go to the games. Rotten to the core.

The guy with no bananas.

Or her son, the apple never falls very far from the tree . . .

[RC1875]

I was sitting in the front row of the east and the apple landed Infront advertisement board infront of my seat, had no idea where it came from

Asda?

[ClewsHibs]

I was almost hit by one outside the west after the game. Bizarre

[WoreTheGreen]

Maybe it was the vitiamin C. Cs

[Hezbelle]

Chucking apples is out of order!

My boy had an apple at half time that we'd took in. Got to break up the chips and haribo with something healthy.

It wasn't chucked though.

[Cauld Bovril]

:agree: I saw one coming over the gap between the east and ff, definitely thrown from outside.

[Alex Trager]

This is seedy banter

[Golden Bear]

So much for healthy eating, they obviously can do more damage to a human being than a soggy pie.

[hibsdaft]

Likewise. It looked like the guilty party's were 2/3 young lads in grey trackies outside the back of the West, between the ticket office and the old church. Very odd behaviour.

[squire]

There's some apples on the pitch. They think it's a turnover

Is this Lee Wallace? Graaaaaaaas

Just in case this post doesn't get the appreciation it so clearly deserves I'd just like to say well done :applause:

All joking apart, if it's in the refs report, it could cause us bother. I take in the club know it came from outside the ground and CCTV will show what happened and where they came from etc. We have enough bother wasting our time over Hun-Slap-Gate without having to deal with Apple-Gate.

Neither of which the club are responsible for.

Think you're comparing apples with sour grapes.

Makes you wonder if some of the 400,000 creeps just couldn't stay away from one of our games again.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Apples? It used to be golf balls with nails in them, back when it was a man's game.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I prefer pebbles on the beach myself!

They didn't taste very nice though.

[CraigHibee]

I wondered why the ref ran over to the main stand after we scored, doesn't matter what the object was it still shouldn't be happening

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Surely they were coming from outside?? Even our idiots wouldn't be that idiotic?!

I think we should take stalk of the situation but we also have to admit that some people are just rotten.

[Finn2015]

Agree with the core of what you are saying but rotten is a bit much, think there are just a few bad apples but the majority are fine. The match went on and the pitch didn't crumble and it wasn't as if the whole support acted like a bunch of Cox's. There was just one bad apple is all

[Galahibby]

Maybe a passing seagull dropped them.

[Ultrabee1-0]

I will be getting my self down to asda and buying a **** load of apples for the Raith game.
Rudi is going to get it something awful

[Dashing Bob S]

This health conscious initiative should be complemented. It's the pie throwers who disgust me.

I'm sure this was how Sir Isaac Newton discovered gravity. He was at a Bristol Rovers game though...

Naw, gravy-ty is what you used to get in the pies.

Getting hit by an apple just makes me crabby.


It wasn't a sponsors' promotion? "Crabbie's Alcoholic Ginger Beer - It's A Real Knock-Out"?

Hopefully he'll crumble.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

This reminds me of some of the bad apples we've had on the pitch - who can forget Martin McIntosh blundering haplessly around during his brief time at the club.

...Katy. Thomson, that is. The pick of the crop or the bad apple depending on your point of view. Not forgetting the wee genius Russet Latapy.
