"Yam". Don't understand where it came from (and apparently neither does anyone else given the 23958230958 explanations we have for it) and don't use it considering anyone outside this forum will more than likely invariably reply "who the **** are the Yams?". They don't need a derogatory nickname for us to express their dislike of them - same goes for "hobo" over there.

I'm fairly certain that Gregg's is a real thing away from hibs.net, 😉 but it was me who made it synonymous with made up rumours.

I can't remember the manager's name now, but for reasons of mischief, I said that I'd heard 2 officials in Gregg's on Easter Road discussing his imminent appointment. It became a FACT.

We eventually hired Tony Mowbray and Gregg's rumours were born. Pwoud, vewy pwoud.

I think Greggs is used in the same way on some other football websites now.

In any given day someone will accuse someone else of 'spouting pish'. Grammatically, it's a stand alone. 'Pish' is the only noun that is ever spouted and 'to spout' is the only verb that actions on the noun 'pish' .

Maybe I just travel in more polite circles offline but I've never heard this anywhere else. Is it a Gary Locke thing :dunno:

Come on, you know fine well that neither post said there is anything wrong with actually having ‘faith in the manager’. It’s about people, presumably like yourself, that seem to think that the term is some sort of trump card that wins them an argument when there’s differing opinions.

”Deary me, complete tosh, utter drivel, care to elaborate?”
”He’s a big lump that can’t score, can’t pass, can’t control a ball etc”
”Well I trust Butcher over Hibs.net experts”

I don't think I've ever used the phrase, but I learned long ago that trying to win an argument on here is a futile exercise, trump cards or not.

However, I do think that dismissing a player without having seen them play isn't actually forming an opinion. It's just having a guess.

It would be like me saying that the view from this balcony is Portugal is lovely, and you saying that in your opinion it was crap and then criticising anyone for "not being able to form an opinion of their own" and believing me.

Sure, it's a stock phrase and I suppose I can understand that it might occasionally grate, but insulting people for using it was unnecessary, imo.

Nihilsts! or was that a shout from the terraces at ER?

I like the terms we have invented about the little stadium across the city.

If you were a former professional balcony view reviewer who was now coaching people to review balcony views then yes that would be a fair comparison that I’d agree with.

Yeah it is interesting but I guess it happens when you’re just reading someone’s words and you don’t have other cues like body language, tone of voice, facial expressions to go on like you would face to face

Where did you get the impression I was referring specifically to players nobody had seen before?

The most recent occasion I have witnessed these comments used after a player's signing was when we signed Bogdan. A player who's been around the British game for about 10 years.

The next occasion was when hibs released their statement saying our summer business was completed and some felt we were still lacking 2 or 3.

Tend to chuckle or chortle at good jokes rather than dribble coffee, but do occasionally spit at the screen if a poster comes out with something grossly offensive, such as sticking up unduly for Glasgow Rangers International Company PLC FC Club or its supporters.

If I was a Hibs.net admin, I’d be tempted to add Yam to the swear filter, just so I never have to read it again. And I’d be most definitely be changing the pink Yam thread titles.

As far as derogatory names, Sharts is far better. Gorgoyles or Sc*mbos for their followers.

My preference is for the ugly maroon coloured vegetable theory, aspiring to be a potato but not quite getting there.

If the few I know don't like it it's good enough for me.

Or "This" when I agree with someone, and I don't draw a wee face with blue tears running down its cheeks when someone says something funny?
