Hibs fans on Twitter

[Babyshamble]

Really can't understand the abuse Simon Murray is getting.surely we must get behind anybody that pulls on a Hibs shirt.everyone deserves a second chance.hope he bangs in the goals for us 👍🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[Dashing Bob S]

You need a scapegoat

[Frogga]

What's the abuse for?

Can't imagine there are Hibs fans abusing a potential new signing. It's more likely to be bitter, jealous wee hearts gimps.

[Golden Bear]

Embarrassing.

[Carheenlea]

They won't be proper fans.
Twitter and Facebook provides a platform for thousands of losers with nothing of note going on in their lives to engage with those who do. They will be best ignored/blocked.

Is it people actually abusing him or voicing their own opinions on their personal page?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Everything is not as it first appears in the internet - and that's a direct quote from Abe Lincoln.

[KeithTheHibby]

Disgraceful behaviour.

[oldbutdim]

I looked at his twitter page but can't find anything. I don't think I'm doing this right......... can someone put a link so I can find it please?

as far as i've seen its people simply saying he's not good enough. no abuse at all.

[Coults1875]

Yep, all i've seen. That and Dundee Utd fans saying they've had the deal of the century getting Keatings for him. I'll be making my judgement on him after a few games under his belt in a hibs top. Hopefully other fans will do the same

I wouldn't say it's exactly the deal of the century, considering Murray scored 18 goals for them last season. However, given a choice, I would have been happier with the status quo if Keats had chosen to sign a new deal with us. His choice though was to leave, and whilst Murray signing doesn't exactly get the juices flowing in excitement, I still think he will score a few goals for us.

[SMAXXA]

Cause some hibs fans are arse holes pretty simple. All clubs have them

I just don't think Keatings and Murray are comparable.
There were many games last season that Keatings was absolutely invisible. Utd fans may focus on things like his last minute goal against Falkirk but there was also plenty times he offered nothing.
I'm personally looking forward to seeing Murray for hibs. He is a good member of the squad. I still believe we'll keep Cummings and sign another striker in the Holt mould so we will have some good options.

There are a fair few creepy Hibs fans on twitter so I can believe it, some of them really need to get a life.

If we are going to compare Murray and Keatings: Keatings has turned down the chance to move up to the PL knowing he needed to fight for his place, THREE times. I'd much rather have someone with Murray's attitude.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

We just signed a big fast striker who has scored goals wherever he's been for nowt ....some fans are just cocks

[we are hibs]

We just signed a big fast striker who has scored goals wherever he's been for nowt ....some fans are just cocks

we've also just signed a striker who fluffs a lot of chances when through one on one.

[JDHibs]

Dundee Utd fans will see the games where Keats has played well and think hes great, where he has some decent highlights, i.e against Falkirk or Raith at the end of the season. Shame that only happened 2 or 3 times last season. Rest he was invisible, hiding and offered little to nothing.

Murray may no be as good technically as Keats, but hes quicker, stronger and never hides. 18 goals and 12 assists in a poor Utd who suggest that theres something there.

Utd have lost Murray and Andreu, thats 40 goals they need to replace!! 40!! Goals scored to minutes played ratio Keats (198mins/goal) & Murray (195mins/goal) are similar, however, worth noting that Murray played 2000 more minutes than Keats, played in a team that finished 14 points behind us who scored 9 goals less than us.

Reckon we got the better deal overall. Keatings will always be a championship player, Murray has loads of room for improvement

[MB62]

Don't think there's a striker alive that hasn't done that at some point in his career. Maybe should be concentrating on the fact he gets in to that position so often, then work on his finishing.

[frazeHFC]

Knowing quite a few Utd fans the reviews I've been given haven't inspired me in the slightest, but it's still harsh to give the guy stick before he's even kicked a ball. Hopefully proves them all wrong.

[we are hibs]

just pointing out he's not a "natural finisher" like some are proclaiming him to be. He is coming in as a squad player. He will feature about the same amount of times as Graham has this season.

How many chances did Cummings "fluff" in the championship? Remember Raith Rovers for example? Every striker does it. Let's support the lad ffs.

[Broken Gnome]

There's someone who has replied to the actual Hibs announcement he's s****, as Lennon's other signings have been. Like Ambrose.

Sheesh.

So does Jason Cummings, what's your point?

[we are hibs]

Cummings is a far better player than Murray, scores more goals and is younger. I want Murray to do well but I'm not hopeful.

[Pete70]

Some people just gotta have a boo boy, even before he's pulled on a Hibs shirt.

[Wilson]

Lennon tried to sign him for this championship. Couldn't get him. He has a season to assess the situation and still wants him - even though were looking at building a squad for the Scottish premiership. Gets his man and us delighted to do so.

Pardon me for not worrying how hopeful you are.

Time to back our player people.

Dundee Utd. fans can do one. Enjoy finishing behind Inverness and Falkirk next year. Weirdos.

Agree United fans are gutted and bitter at present with staying down and wont have been chuffed with Simon sprinting down the road to sign for us. As for their view of how good a player he is dont really care to be honest however based on the play off games he did more than anyone to get them into the final.

Murray has got something about him and Lennon sees it. Give him a chance.

[DaveF]

I hope the so called fans ****ging him off don't have season tickets and confine their hibe activities to trolling around the depths of the Internet.

Who knows how Murray will do, but FFS, let the laddie settle in and get a chance.

Welcome to Hibernian Simon. Ignore the online idiots.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Bloody Norah ...... I cant believe the amount of negativity there has been around this signing, the way some folk are going on you would think we had missed out on Ronaldo and Murray was next on the list.

If there is one thing we have been missing for the last 2 or 3 seasons its a player who buzzes about in the final third getting into faces and rushing defenders into passes .... Holt tried to be that player at times, but he just didn't have the energy to keep it up for more than 50 minutes in a game and lets face it, if folk have doubts about Murray's goals return its still stratospherically better than Holt's was in the same division .... that's not a criticism of Holt, but it is a defence of what Murray could possibly bring to us compared to what we had by the end of last season.

It seems to me that he will be a combination of the two strikers we have lost ..... Keatings could be a great finisher, but at times he was anonymous in games, Holt was good at 'noising up' defences but just didn't score nearly enough goals ...... Murray it seems to me wont go into a huff and disappear if things aren't going his way like Keatings seemed to at times and he will keep going for 90 minutes unlike Holt who just wasn't fit enough to play with that intensity, great natural finisher or not, the guy does score goals.

Not just that ...... If Neil Lennon who has managed in the champions league and two of Scotland's best managers in Alan Archibald who has done a great job at Thistle and Tommy Wright whose record speaks for itself both thought Simon Murray was good enough for the premiership that will do for me ..... I'm more than willing to give him a chance.

This might be a long post .... but I'll back it against folk going 'aye he's pish' just because the guy isn't Derek Riordan and a few disillusioned Dundee Utd fans are, not unnaturally, happy to diss anybody in a team who failed to get them promotion.

Can I ask what a "good Hibs support is".Im one of the don't fancy Simon Murray brigade. So am I not a good Hibs support? We all as football supporters have our own opinions about players and mine is that I don't think he's what we need to be a top four team. The guy is now a Hibee and will get my 100% backing. As for him being a scapegoat all I have to say is people in glass houses should not throw stones.

You seem to be missing the point by a million miles.

By all means you can have doubts about him. No one is demanding anything else. It's the twitter trolls who are saying he is rubbish who are being criticised here.

A good hibs support doesn't have to believe that every player brought in is amazing, but when they are brought in should really get behind them and support them, unlike fannys on twitter giving Murray abuse and revelling in him already having to block supporters of his new club

Stop being ridiculous. It's the Hibs fans who are hounding him on social media that are being discussed here. He'll have been delighted to have signed yesterday and now he must wonder what he's let himself in for.

I just can't get my head round that sort of behaviour at all.

No it shouldn't but there are people who abuse them regardless & I wanted to qualify that I'm not one of them! I didn't say he wasn't allowed to block me for it, of course he is (although I don't personally see the point in blocking someone who doesnt follow you in the first place), I mentioned it because someone said earlier it's pathetic that he's HAVING to block his own fans when most of them didn't tag him in anything in the first place. These people didn't specifically target him & it's not our fault he searches his name & doesn't like what he finds!

[IAmLee]

He wouldn't have to "put up with it" at all if he wasn't searching his own name to look at what people were saying about him!! Everything I said about him was based on his performances for United and were in response to a question a friend asked me. Am I to lie or not say anything at all incase he decides to have another nosey at what people who don't follow hom are saying!?

Try and reverse the situation. You've just signed for a Club you're Dad once played for and are now looking forward to a new career. At the very least you might expect the fans to make you feel at home, you're self confidence is boosted and you can't wait for the new season to start.

But instead a few guys who have probably never kicked a ball in earnest in their lives decide that you're a waste of space . How would YOU feel?

The internet probably peaked about 10 years ago.

It's obviously useful to be connected to stuff and information, however, anything that it is any way useful soon gets taken over by having to pay for it by advertising and becomes less useable.

Twitter was a good, simple idea, it's now out of control.

Facebook was a useful and well presented way of keeping up to date with some friends, now it is out of control.

I don't need Facebook to give me regurgitated news and comment. I don't need my News sites to direct me to list of 30 things that will blow my mind.

It's all gone a bit crap.

[lyonhibs]

Twitter has long been a refuge for delinquents and miscreants. This seems to prove it once and for all.
