Eh?

[Billy Whizz]

Eh?

Presume he means Levein

[Itsnoteasy]

Nope. He said they blew it at the end
Player deserved red card & keeper made a James Hunt of it.

[Jim44]

Thompson and Stewart on Sportscene saying it was a fantastic tackle and no foul whatsoever. Opinions,eh? :greengrin

[brianmc]

Mikey Stewart just saying the opposite of Potter to keep their 'spat' going.

[vuefrom1875]

Eh?

Potter.

I actually agree with Michael Stewart. I'm surprised Levein agrees with the decision to send his player off.

I thought a red card was harsh and I would have been unhappy if that had been a Hibs player.

Me too. To be fair flying into a challenge like that us asking the ref to make a decision. He may have got it wrong but it’s a chance you take.

As soon as you leave the ground, at pace, from a couple of yards away, in a scissor motion, your only going to see one outcome, red card every time, ball won or not.

[Hermit Crab]

If that tackle was on a Hibs player would you be screaming for a red or applauding it and saying it was a great tackle? Ask yourselves that.

I still don't think it was a red.

[superfurryhibby]

I really dislike the casual association of implied peadophilia as term of insult on hibs.net.

Rolf..... how ****ing classless and moronic can you get?

To me it’s one of those that could have been bad if he’d mistimed it... but he didn’t really.

Did he comment on Saturday's attendance at Easter Road in his interview?

[MacGruber]

The red card was well deserved - if not for the tackle then for the karma for the cowardly way the little rat shoved Kamberi in the back for a reaction then squealed about it to the ref.
Not so pleased to see a card this time Guratchio - good, suck it up ya wee *****

It's football banter. The term is used on his appearance. I've never seen anyone here imply he's a pedo, or even close to it.

I don't think even you believe that, never mind it being anywhere near true.

[DetroitHibs]

I 100% believe it. You take the banter out the game, your left with a very poor atmosphere. When that mob sung, "All the Hibees are gay" I didn't give a monkeys. You taunt each other on match day and wind each other up. There's no REAL malice. There was a whole thread wishing him a speedy recovery only a few months ago.

Settle mate. There's a brilliant photo online where Rolf Harris and Levein have been merged.

I suspect the link is that they look similar as opposed to any pedo link.

I'm afraid I'm with DH on this. Rolf reference is because of resemblance. Anything after that is in the mind of each individual.

The problem is, say the name to most people and there's an immediate connection with his crimes rather than his work. Shirley there is someone else with a beard and glasses that would be less controversial. 🤔

Since when have football fans been bothered about picking the least controversial comparison? :greengrin

I read somewhere that Rolf was furious when he found out about the resemblance.

Ok, so we need to find someone who looks like Levein but isn't a pedo.

[SquashedFrogg]

Harold Shipman? :whistle:

Bugger! I couldn't think of one that fast 👍

[Peevemor]

100% true for me too.

You’re kidding yourself on here.

Banter is fine, but there’s a line and sometimes it can be a bit blurred. I didn’t care about the Hibees being gay or being a spoon burning hobo fenian bassa etc..... Equally, I don’t mind that Jambo’s love their sister, have six fingers or lick shop windaes.

However, jokes which touch on the sexual abuse of children cross the line for me.

All about sensibilities.

It's also about how the individual person perceives the connection. You seem to be the one constantly making the darker references here. Most just see the resemblance.

I'm not denying there's an unfortunate side to it, but he's the spitting image. Which is quite funny.

And if I'm being honest, derogatory comments about religion are equally as bad if you're easily offended.

To be fair, I've never heard one joke that refers to Levein being a child molester, ever. For me the term Rolf has been 100% based on his appearance. What Craigy boy does with his didgeridoo is his business :guesswho:

It isn't just a joke, though, SFH. They chose to appoint Graeme Rix after he'd served time for sex with a minor. As you say, it's about sensibilities, and many folk think that appointment was very insensitive, Hearts fans included.

Sorry to go OT but it was quite interesting to hear Paul Hartley talking about that whole episode.

After Romanov asked him who he thought the new manager should be, he eventually settled on Vialli. When Vialli wasn't interested he suggested they go with Rix, which they did. Hartley quite liked working under him.

[Bangkok Hibby]

Wow this thread has fairly taken off. I was the one who went eh? at the start because I'd never heard Levein being called Rolf before. As soon as I realised it was Levein it clicked that of course he looked like Rolf Harris and I smiled. AT NO POINT did paedophilia come to mind. You need to have some weird **** going on in your head if you ignore the resemblance and jump to that conclusion.

[Jones28]

At least calling him Potter doesn't up the cringe levels to "unbearable paedophile reference"

Constantly? Not really. I made my point, a few people responded. I replied to your comment because I think you’re wrong. I’m not easily offended, far from it but my personal lines in bad taste are drawn at peadophilia based jokes. Is that ok?

Can I ask who are you having a go at here?

If you look at my opening sentence you'll see I said "this thread" I'm not "having a go" at anyone in particular. I am however amazed that anyone could leap to the conclusion that anyone is calling Levein a paedo when he looks so like Rolf Harris.

He jumped in with two feet. Red card in the modern game.

Cool. Glad that's sorted. 😶

Might want to reply to specific peoples posts in future. Save confusing my tiny brain.

Anyway.......


I didn't think it was a red, yellow at most, but it had no bearing on the result.

The goalie's attempt at a save, on the other hand...

Yea OK but my humungous brain told me people would realise it was a general point I was making :greengrin:greengrin

Haha only joking. Forums eh?

[-Jonesy-]

if you fly in a foot of the ground studs showing from over a metre away and your bent knee makes contact with the ball as you clean out the opponent, that’s a red card

Just asking.

What do you think?

Business going in to administration and fleecing local charity or using sexual abuse of children as banter? They’re really close comparisons right enough:nlgwa

Fwiw, there is an interesting debate about sensibility, humour and football to be had, but only if people could manage not to get all worked up about it ( including myself).
