Your most hated ever players in Scottish Football

[Austinho]

Anything goes. Hard to see past Hearts, Rangers and Celtic players as those are our most heated matches, but I’m sure there are a few ex Hi-bees in everyone’s list two.

1. Kyle Lafferty (mostly from his time at Rangers, however his summer shenanigans didn’t help much. My dislike for him is definitely simmering as he continues to do less and less in a Hearts shirt.)
2. Aiden McGeady (the way he turned his back on his native Scotland to play for Ireland didn’t do him many favours.)
3. Neil Lennon (can’t deny I hated him as a player, adore him as a manager. Funny how things change.)
4. Rudi Skacel (graceless in victory, graceless in defeat. Continued to be a massive walloper even after signing for Dundee Utd and Raith.)
5. Matt Doherty (an absolute prick of a man, thought he was too good for Hibs, despite being woeful for us.)
6. Jamie Hamill (an odious man, odious to look at. The definition of a wannabe hard man.)
7. Paul Hartley (mostly out of frustration for how average he was at us and how he came back to haunt us.)
8. Andy Walker (more for his punditry than anything he did on the pitch)
9. Barry Ferguson (scrote.)
10. Artur Boric (we used to absolutely torment him at Easter Road. Remember him goading the Hibs fans only for him to spill the ball twice in one game.)

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Fernando Ricksen

Or are we not allowed to say that...

Jim Goodwin

Ian Black for being a jambo and Hun thug
Steven Pressley for being Steven Pressley

Fernando Ricksen

Jim Goodwin

Ricksen is the obvious one for me, at least it was until he became ill. Which puts it into perspective a wee bit, and I'm not that keen on the 'hate' word anyway.

[Sir David Gray]

Rudi Skacel.

I would rather leave it at that and not elaborate any further on my thoughts on him as I realise this is a family forum.

this pretty much word for word sums it all up for me, especially r.e. Oor Neil. Can't believe the turnaround.

[Sauzee16]

Didier Agathe bitterness and jealously.

[Scott Allan Key]

I’d add Paulo de Canio, his views. A tremendous footballer.

[Sauzee16]

Billy Dodds always riled me.

[Diclonius]

"Hate" is a strong word. The only football player I've ever strongly disliked is S****l.

[CMurdoch]

Hate is a powerful word to use towards people we don't know and football players at that.

I will admit to disliking Aiden McGeady very strongly for turning his back on his country given the lack of quality players produced by our small country.
I was less annoyed at James McCarthy as Scotland missing out on him seemed to be down to the incompetence of the SFA.

[heidtheba]

Charlie Miller and, worse, far worse...Hamish French
Funny that it's all down to attitude and not down to the damage the caused us. My favourite other team players were Laudrup, Gazza, Larsson and, dare I say it, Robbo. Didn't have a problem with them as people. Gutted when they scored or whatever, but no 'hatred'.

[FranckSuzy]

Jim Goodwin

[jacomo]

Always liked Neil Lennon as a player.

biggest BOOO probably to Barry Ferguson or Mark Hately.

Edit: Ian Black too, obviously.

Used to give pelters to Paul Hartley but had a sneaking admiration for him. He gave us the GIRUY in the same way Cummings did to the Jambos. “You thought I wasn’t good enough, how do you like it now?” kinda way.

[One Day Soon]

I remember seeing the Yam bench giving the explicit instruction to Neil Berry to take out Paul Wright at Easter Road. Within literally seconds he went through him viciously and it was a pretty bad injury I seem to recollect.

Always found Berry detestable.

[joebakerforever]

Always disliked players who set out to cripple others:-

John Hughes (not Yogi, but the earlier Celtic version that broke John Brownlie's leg)
Julien Brellier
Alex McDonald
Drew Busby

:agree: really horrible tackle on Alex Harris from which he never recovered.

[Johnny_Leith]

Matt Doherty was far from awful for Hibs. He, like everyone else in the final, was terrible but the rest of his time with us he was very good, helped keep us up and scored a couple of important goals.

[Forza Fred]

Tommy White

As much as I can admire the skills of Gascoigne and Laudrup during their time in Scotland, I hated them at the time, particularly the amount of protection they got from ref's. They just had to stop and ask for a free kick and they got it.

[Hibs1969]

Colin Stein for breaking my heart when he signed for the Zombies.
Ian Black for being Ian Black
Rudi Skacel for being a classless, graceless prick

I’m not sure why McCoist has been named so often. Other than score a few goals against us I always thought he was ok and didn’t take himself or the game too seriously.

[Hiber-nation]

You'll need to tell us why. I can't remember him doing anything notable other than bang in a few goals and have silver hair.

[superfurryhibby]

Most have been mentioned already, but.....

David Weir, horrible throat grabbing, troublemaking cowardly prick of a player.

Chris "elbows" Sutton. Decent player, constant elbow to the pus.

Willie "the ref" Miller. He was dirty and brilliant at the same time. His niggly ******* ways were a severe annoyance, along with his constant berating of the ref during games. He annoyed me greatly.

[Ringothedog]

Dixie Deans for breaking my heart on more than one occasion

[Craigmount Hibs]

Peter Pawlett

I really dislike professional footballers that cheat. There are many that are recognised regular divers (Stilian Petrov, Mikoluinas (however it’s spelt), James Forrest).

But that guy Pawlett was another level altogether. A disgrace to the game.

[Sauzee16]

Anyone mentioned Gary Caldwell yet?

Derek Lyle of Queen of the South.

If you hated Neil Lennon as a player, then you all must have hated Scott Brown, as they were the same type of player (Hard and in your face type of player :agree:)
Alan Thompson (Celtic) was one dirty player who I disliked,Tommy Gemmell, John Hughes,
Ian Black, as he was never a football player in the first place, I'm going to exclude him :greengrin
Tam Forsyth, John Grieg, John McDonald

Oh and Hugh Burns anaw.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Skacel. Nobody comes close. Good player but he loved winding us up at every opportunity.

Couldn't stand the hun from QOTS. Lyle or something? Just a hun twat and worse fake tan and teeth i've seen.

Gordon Durie - even spoils my Skol Cup video by being in the studio with Dougally Donnelly. :rolleyes:

Exactly - they were/are the type of player you love having in your own team but dislike in other teams.

For me, whilst I wouldn't use the word "hate", David Weir may be a lovely bloke but on the football pitch I always disliked him intensely for his arrogant and self important attitude.

[Sauzee16]

Currently James Tavernier and Kyle laughing boy get on my wick.

Laugherty used to but he’s ***** and milking them dry so he’s irrelevant now.

[Baader]

No current players can compare to some of the thugs you used to get up to the early 90s I guess. As much as we all probably think football has gone too far the other way and is too soft at least it doesn't allow for the likes of horrible b@$t@&ds like Berry to prosper.

Berry would be right at the top. Alex MacDonald, Sandy Clark, Kenny Black. Souness. Ian Ferguson for having the most Hun face imaginable.

And Steven Boyack because he was crap, had a funny run and an annoying face.

[Hiber-nation]

It was Ian Printy cynical character.

Printy's tackle on Brownlie wasn't even a foul. It was the other full back Johnny Love who was the thug.

And I completely despise Dougie Imrie.

[Bobo]

Paul Sturrock, Joe Harper & Ally McCoist would be my choices.

[Greentinted]

Basically the entire ex yam or hun contingent of the Airdrie team of the early to mid 90's

Back then I had a real dislike for Alan Lawrence (probably a bit disproportionate but he had a knack of regularly turning in decent performances against us). I’d say I had more of a dislike (am no too comfortable with ‘hatred’) for Airdrie than Hearts...of course, the hubris that underpinned the Romanov years - that which they are now choking on - has Hearts at the top of my disdain list.

[jeffers]

Printy's tackle on Brownlie wasn't even a foul. It was the other full back Johnny Love who was the thug.

I always thought it was Johnny Love too. I used to work beside him and live round the corner from him. I always liked him, but I heard more than a few stories.

[KeithTheHibby]

IIRC, while playing for East Fife, Love's notority came from kicking Edwards off the park till the wee man threw the ball away (towards Sloop) in frustration & got booked. I can't remember if he was sent off or that booking meant he got the lengthy ban. Either way, it was disgraceful the way he was consistantly fouled in that game with no action by the ref.
You wouldn't get that nowadays. :rolleyes:
