OMG nutter

[Waxy]

Bad boy. Must be banned.

[One Day Soon]

Only if that horse’s arse Morelos is arrested for inciting the home end first.

[Jones28]

Stupid ****

What happened?

[cheltenhamhibee]

Horrible little scrote, hope he gets banned from ER for life, there is no place for that inexcusable behaviour anywhere let alone in a football stadium

[LancashireHibby]

I’m sure he’ll think he’s the big man. Let’s hope he has plenty of time to think of it when he has a few years away from games. Completely inexcusable.

[steviehibsleith]

That corner of the field is the problem everyone knows it the Sam as everyone knows who threw the bottle . And do We deal with it with security there ? One guy in the first instance.
We are going to get hammered

People, including me, complain about football fans being treated 'differently'. That's why. People like that spoil it for the rest of us.

Guy went to attack Tavernier at the east stand side right on half time.

[judas]

Don’t be ridiculous. A ban? Yes. A lifetime ban? Sit doon.

[JeMeSouviens]

What happened?

Ball out for throw in east stand side, Tavernier going for ball, fan jumps over boards and kicks ball away, wee shove between Tavernier and fan.

[Swedish hibee]

Why do that?

[The Tubs]

Guy went to attack Tavernier at the east stand side right on half time.

And shat it when he saw tavernier was twice his size.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Ball out for throw in east stand side, Tavernier going for ball, fan jumps over boards and kicks ball away, wee shove between Tavernier and fan.

So what will he get the jail for then? Is it GBH or ABH or just an assault.

[JeMeSouviens]

Guy went to attack Tavernier at the east stand side right on half time.

Hardly, he kicks the ball away and then Tavernier shoves him and he shoves back. He’s an arse that should be banned but “attack”? No.

[Diclonius]

Anyone who does that should get a lifetime ban from Easter Road. Zero tolerance. **** off.

[LancashireHibby]

Shame he didn’t quite fall over the hoarding having had a bit of a run up judging by the replay on BT just now.

[bodhibs]

I don't know where we're going as a society with wee guffy scrotes thinking they can do that. Life ban probably won't bother him, no point in fining him and a smack on the wrist from the beak won't do anything. It makes me so angry as the club will suffer.

Exactly.

Absolutely stupid thing to do but the boy doesn’t deserve jail. Looked like he initially went to kick the ball away (which is a ducking daft thing to do anwyay) but he hardly attacked Tavernier. Looked out his face.

[CathroMustStay]

Cretin.

East Coast problem I'm afraid.

[BT58]

HFC will get hammered by this idiotic act. The club have issued a statement re the antics with bottles against cellic. This ass hole should be banned for life, jeezo were all hurting but we dont invade the pitch.

I don’t know what the charge was but I remember watching it at the time and he didn’t seem to do anything other than hold the game up.

Don’t know if a Public Order offense would apply but rarely come with jail time.

[WHAM]

The Aberdeen fan kicked out at the police officers that were actually carrying him away so I think that played a part in his sentencing. Resisting arrest or police assault or something.

[Jim44]

The moron jumped the wall right next to a steward who was dreaming looking on to the pitch. He should have been looking into the crowd and should have prevented the incident. Not excusing the nutcase mind you.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

We need to talk about...

When our Hibstoric Scottish Cup winning Manager, Sir David Gray and Leeann twice call this out we need to kick this behaviour into touch.

Weed out the numpties, self policing is a tough one but the book should be thrown before something serious goes down.

[neil7908]

We have a serious problem on our hands with the behaviour of some of our fans.

We can talk about sectarian chanting all we want but that's two home games in a row one of our fans have had a goal at an opposition player.

[-Jonesy-]

[Mibbes Aye]

I'm not sure what he intended when he went onto the pitch but it was woeful in its execution. That was embarrassing.

Being serious though, it's the last thing the club needed after the Celtc game and just stokes the fires for those who want to taint us, going back to 2016.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Sheer idiocy, but it looked like the first confrontation was the Hun squaring up to him, kicking the ball away seemed the initial idiotic motivation to go on.

[Crab apple]

Exactly.

Absolutely stupid thing to do but the boy doesn’t deserve jail. Looked like he initially went to kick the ball away (which is a ducking daft thing to do anwyay) but he hardly attacked Tavernier. Looked out his face.

That’s how I saw it too. And by his crazy actions he gives the media an excuse to ignore the ‘cries of no surrender’ etc belting out from the away end.

A good few years ago but I was at Greyskull when a knuckledragging hun ran onto the pitch and punched our full back Kevin McKee. I think he just got a fine.

[overdrive]

I've only seen a clip of it online but from that, it hardly seemed like he ”attacked” the The Rangers player. He kicked the ball away. He should be banned for going on the pitch (technically wasn't on the pitch, I know). If anyone in that incident showed aggression, it was Tavernier (and probably rightly so).

[MacBean]

Not the only idiot tonight unfortunately. The drum stick (not just a wooden stick a proper banger) from the singing section was thrown towards the pitch after rangers scored(assume aimed at Morelos. That’s some height to be thrown from, hits someone that’s some serious damage

[Hibbyradge]

Because it wasn't caught on camera and it wasn't thrown at a player during the match.

He's been arrested.

[Jim44]

I take your point, but wages and training are not insurmountable. What’s the point of them being there if they can’t preemp this sort of incident. I’m simply saying the steward should have been facing into the crowd, not onto the pitch.

Completely right. We’ve got a problem with a smallish number of eejits and pointing out the problems at other clubs isn’t helpful. I don’t want to sanitise football, it should have a bit of an edge to it, but some of our fans cross the line and it happens too often.

[hibsboy90]

When I walk out the door with a hibs scarf on, I am representing the club and by association, all other hibs fans in the public’s eyes. When I attend a game the same is true.

Every time one of our fans behaves in a way like tonight, they disrespect every hibee around the globe and yet some wish to focus on the provocation or opposition fan behaviour.

What is wrong with people taking some personal responsibility - fans are there to support a match, not to intervene. If you don’t like an opposition player winding you up; deal with it.

Tonight’s idiot lets the club down, the fans down and the players down. Hibs have to come out and publicly call for strict liability and issue a message from players that such behaviour is not support of hibs.

(All of course IMO, but after 2y without a post tonight has really let me down)

[pacoluna]

Why is LD saying she will send a a letter to taverner? Unless you want strict liability it's not needed. As she said this guy isn't a " supporter " therefore we shouldn't be writing an apology on his behalf. Strange interview, let the authorities deal with it. :confused:

[Hibbyradge]

Because she's a decent human being. Because she's an honourable woman and she's embarrassed by the anus that came out of the stand.

Because the player was doing his job in our home stadium and should not have to put up with that nonsense.

In fact, she's not writing an apology, she's going to see him personally. She wrote to Sinclair.

Absolutely agree he should be hammered and will deservedly be banned from going to games for a long time. And it does ruin it for the near absolute majority who go to games to support the team. However I just think those who are bandying about the term lifetime ban are being a wee bit reactionary.

As far as I'm concerned there is no point other than to fulfil a legal necessity so the game can go ahead.

Imagine as a steward being assigned to pitch side down there, having to deal with all of that guff and getting paid the same amount of money as your colleague who just has to direct folk to their seats in North end of the West Stand.

I can see why they might not manage to do the bare minimum that their job requires! :)

Unfortunately was about 10 seats along so don’t know the guy . If I remember correctly he also came from a row or so down to run on the pitch. If it had been someone next to me I would have probably tried more than the steward to restrain them from doing so.

She came across as a credible, genuine individual who was incensed at what two fannies in our support have done to the reputation of our club in the last 6 days.

Her interview will have taken some of the wind out of the media's sails, although we'll still get criticised heavily.

It was a very feeble attempt from the steward to stop the guy but I think he had jumped the barrier by the time the steward had realised what was happening.

I stewarded a football match a long time ago in a part time job and keeping an eye on a section of 500-1K folk at the one time is surprisingly more tricky that in seems.

She's every right to be angry. That's two incidents at ER in less than a week. The manager and the players have been in the press laying it on thick about crowd behaviour, then you've got some wee prick (probably out his tree on something) further tarnishing the image of our club - and that's Leeann Dempster's fault?

Reactive leadership my hoop.

Wise up.

[Peevemor]

It doesn't matter in any case, he shouldn't have jumped the wall.

Yes back strict liability and lay down the foundation's.

To find those people someone responsible for enforcing the law would need to bother to look for them. If they can't see or hear 3,500 bigots committing a concerted public order offence of sustained sectarian abuse - recorded in pictures and sound - the chances of bringing coin throwers to book are minimal.

On the BBC she said that nothing should be ruled out. Neither it should be but I would expect any changes to be incremental if things keep happening

Only if that horse’s arse Morelos is arrested for inciting the home end first.

Jeez.

If whataboutery, was a league table, this post would command top spot for years to come.

That idiot's behaviour is doubly annoying because if it weren't for him there's absolutely no doubt that BT Sport, the BBC and Sky would all be focusing instead on the sectarian abuse that took place. Gerrard would have been straight on to tell his supporters that it's not on too.

Not.

Anyway we've knackered their remote league chances, Gerrard still hasn't beaten us, shoved it right up Morelos and hopefully learned from the second half that we should fear no team in this league. Can't wait until we have more than 6 pros, a youth squad, two ferrets and pet badger to select a team from.

[SChibs]

Looks to me like the guy ran on to kick the ball away and would have ran off again if tavernier hadn't grabbed him and shouted. Not condoning it he's an idiot it's just how it looks.

I'm 55% right.

[Chuck Rhoades]

I think she would have been better speaking to the media about this tomorrow when she had calmed down.

This. But she’ll be worries about upsetting her friends and family across the M8.

[stoneyburn hibs]

I'm 55% right.

We know, politics are not for here though.

[ronaldo7]

Hopefully a life ban. I’d also like us to find the rangers fans that threw coins at the young kids running round the park at HT. ****.

That's the first time I've heard the opposition fans booing the young lads/ladies, when they ran round the stadium at half time.

The orcs really are despicable.

Shameful.

[JimboHibs]

Huns behaved really well again tonight.

Well done no broken seats
No banned songs
No fans over barrier

Another week - another Scottish football incident

It will keep happening till those muppets in charge of our game do something more substantial to sort behaviour out.

Sadly though I think it’s a society issue which football is used as an easy way to expose all sorts of undesirable behaviours.

Agree with that,though i also think the possibility of playing the same team seven times a season fuels the hatred,it never fully goes away we could be back playing The Rangers again very soon and the hype that goes with it.Its not just us either its Sheep v Huns,Hearts v Celtic,Celtic v Rangers its an absolute stinking set up of a league that needs completly overhauled.

Yup.

Leanne should be saying why are visiting fans coming to our home and breaking all these seats also.

Why are these songs still being sung ?

A lot of me isn’t surprised with what happens regularly as until clubs start actually really taking action / Scottish football sorts itself out it will keep happening just different personnel or same personnel when the Old Firm / Hearts / Aberdeen damage the away end.

It's the Scottish cringe, we can (rightly) call out the guy who jumped the wall tonight or the bottle thrower from the last game - but we can't call out the 3,500 sectarian bigots that everyone saw and heard hiding in plain sight. Police won't confront them, politicians won't confront them and Scottish football hierarchy certainly won't stop them.

Scottish Football Hierarchy stop them ? Behave, most of them join in ffs

[Argylehibby]

When I walk out the door with a hibs scarf on, I am representing the club and by association, all other hibs fans in the public’s eyes. When I attend a game the same is true.

Every time one of our fans behaves in a way like tonight, they disrespect every hibee around the globe and yet some wish to focus on the provocation or opposition fan behaviour.

What is wrong with people taking some personal responsibility - fans are there to support a match, not to intervene. If you don’t like an opposition player winding you up; deal with it.

Tonight’s idiot lets the club down, the fans down and the players down. Hibs have to come out and publicly call for strict liability and issue a message from players that such behaviour is not support of hibs.

(All of course IMO, but after 2y without a post tonight has really let me down)

:agree: good post and those pointing out flaws in opposition support are just burying their head in the sand. Lifetime ban is not harsh it's a deterrent and if a few others are dished out to end the stupidity so be it.

I don’t think club officials are allowed to talk about others supports. Hearts had the same issue with Budge.

[overdrive]

The punishment aspect for these things (in a legal sense) is totally random. In the “Casper” incident at Tynie, the boy who actually swung at Riordan escaped jail IIRC. Another yam that I went to school with ran on the pitch at the same time, quickly thought better of it and ran back to the stand got a jail sentence.

[Argylehibby]

Completely contradicts their stance with regards to strict liability.

How does apologising for the behaviour of some people who attach themselves to the club she runs in a way shape or form contradict the clubs stance on strict liability? If strict liability was in place now the actions of 2 halfwits in less than a week would have seen the club hammered and the real possibility of you and thousands of other decent fans being prevented from watching a game in the near future.

[Argylehibby]

Reactive leadership in this case - not something that impresses me. Many I appreciate will disagree with me though.

How can you be proactive in stopping some d1ckhead doing what they did tonight or against Celtic last week? The club put out a statement last week about fans behaviour what more can they proactively do?

As an aside, because I dunno where else to put it, my wife was volunteering tonight for St. Andrews and was in the top tier of the away end.

She was verbally abused for no reason, other than being present as they entered the stadium.

When she offered (twice) to help a “supporter” who had a large gash in his head, she was told to F off.

A steward had his arm broken by a couple of rangers fans charging down security doors as they weren’t happy at the time it was taking to get through the turnstiles.

First time she’s done a game of this size and was pretty scared throughout.

Let me be absolutely clear, the ********s in our support deserve to feel the full force of the law, and I support Hibs in their stance on that matter.

It does beg the question though, why do we remain silent on sectarian singing in our stadium, and the vile sectarian abuse aimed at both our previous managers?

I fully understand the argument attached to "getting our own house in order" but it needn't absolve our board from condemning the behaviour of others, especially when aimed at our support and employees.

[theonlywayisup]

Did they mention the drumstick or mallet, not sure what they call it that was thrown from the famous five upper onto the pitch when they scored or did the tv miss that?

I noticed that too. Thought the drummer was a bit quiet in the second half.

[HibeeMackenzie]

As much as the turnip who ran on the pitch is absolutely out of order, isn’t there an argument that tav should have been sent off for his reaction?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Very next game after Leeann Dempster's statement regarding supporter behaviour, someone does that. Some folk just don't have they brains they were born with. Two consecutive home games we've witnessed crazy behaviour. Well, he's now gotten himself into a big hole, as well as damaging the club.

[Dinkydoo]

Jeez.

If whataboutery, was a league table, this post would command top spot for years to come.Why can't we address both?

Or does it only count when it's Neil Lennon noising up the fans...

The guy on the pitch was a fanny, but so was Morelos. He should have been booked.

[Heisenberg]

It’s clear a few folk now have it in for Dempster after the Lennon situation kicked off. I think she was completely right to address it last night and supported every point she made.

Hope the idiot that jumped on the park gets banned for life. It’s a shame that the incident will detract from various other things, like a much improved second half performance of the team and the ongoing sectarian behaviour that the Rangers fans partake in.

[Danderhall Hibs]

As much as the turnip who ran on the pitch is absolutely out of order, isn’t there an argument that tav should have been sent off for his reaction?

Definitely. He was first to raise his hands. Minimum red card, maximum sentence is jail time (based on what I’ve been reading).

[coldingham hibs]

Looks to me like the guy ran on to kick the ball away and would have ran off again if tavernier hadn't grabbed him and shouted. Not condoning it he's an idiot it's just how it looks.

Agreed, cannot condone the boy getting on to the pitch and doing what he did but to me it looked like he just intended kicking the ball and legging it until Tavernier shoved him.

Totally unacceptable along with all the other incidents last night, Morelos & Candeias should have been booked and that would have subdued the situation. No way would they get away with goading the fans at Parkhead like they did.

Because she's a decent human being. Because she's an honourable woman and she's embarrassed by the anus that came out of the stand.

Because the player was doing his job in our home stadium and should not have to put up with that nonsense.

In fact, she's not writing an apology, she's going to see him personally. She wrote to Sinclair.

Exactly what I was thinking. I've no idea how "strict liability" governs the ability for human beings to show a bit of remorse and honour.

Also, hope the wee scrote is indeed banned for life. Never any excuse for entering the field of play whilst the game is ongoing.

Anyway I expect Hibs to be in dialogue with the Old Firm about their behaviour once more and I await what action is taking for all the broken seats and other damage caused.

Aberdeen flooded the disabled toilet recently in the South stand causing flooding in the foundation offices below.

What about all the hun pitch invasions this season also ? Anything happen here or let off ice again ?

So many double standards regarding behaviour.

I walked past the South before KO and the queuing system they had in place at turnstiles was stretched back to almost the West stand car park gates. With a group as collectively obnoxious as Rangers fans are it’s no surprise to hear of such alarming incidents.
As for the trackside invader, he looked pretty pleased with himself. After a night to reflect he’ll probably be a bit more sheepish this morning, but with a steward suffering a broken arm, his wasn’t the biggest or most serious crime of the night.

[weecounty hibby]

Weekend in the cells, criminal record, possible/probable jail time, lost job, life ban from ER. What a total ********. Deserves everything coming his way. This is what Hibs will be remembered for in the coming weeks and months, bottle launched at a celtic player and a Hun confronted on the pitch.

[ScottB]

If you can’t sit through a football game without trying to attack people on the pitch, you probably shouldn’t be allowed outside without supervision, never mind into a stadium.

Thats outrageous, but you can bet your bottom dollar it won’t be reported anywhere.

Unfortunately, anyone trying to talk in any way about the behaviour of the Rangers fans last night will quickly be accused of whataboutery, which is their standard defense for anything that points the finger at them. Regardless of how idiotic that bam that ran in the pitch was last night, that shouldn’t stop Rangers being held to account for what their lot got up to.

But of course, it will.

[Hibby John]

[Hibs1969]

There was definitely a mixture of both. Plenty of their fans were clapping the kids as they ran by the south stand but more than a few, especially in the upper tier were jeering giving them the GIRUY gesture too.

As as for the moron who confronted Tavernier, ban him for life and let the courts deal with him. After everything that's been said and written about us over the last week, how he could consider doing what he did absolutely beggars belief. Yet again our name has been dragged through the mud by the actions of one grade A bawbag.

[mcfly]

There is a nasty side creeping back into Scottish football.

Maybe it never went away but tv highlights this and 2 high profile incidents directly affecting our club do not make good headlines.

I think hibs will make an example of this lad and what probably was thought of as a funny thing to do ie kick the ball away ended up very very foolish.

On a more positive side I critiscised the manager at half time yesterday but have to say well done for a good second half fightback.

[GreenCastle]

It's not double standards.

We're responsible for our own people, not the Aberdeen or The Rangers fans.

Hibs will contact the Rangers about any broken seats, just as they did with Celtc last week.

Our own people ?

I have no relation to the guy who ran on. I have no association with the guy or know anyone who knows him.

Who can even prove he was a Hibs fan ? Except he was in the Hibs end - but he could have got there in several ways.

It’s more than broken seats here - it’s away fans behaviour.

We should be reducing away supports not increasing it like we did last night. Decrease the number of seats will probably mean less seats broken.

Stick the badly behaved away fans in top tier.

Don’t let run onto the pitch after they score - been happening for years at the away end.

Hibs are responsible for what happens inside it’s own stadium and they need to do more if they see things as such a big deal.

[Hibbyradge]

Legs moving quickly in opposite direction is the legal advice. Raise your hands and you're likely to be charged.

Is there legal advice about being confronted by a coked up/drink/intellectually challenged arse hole who has come on to the pitch?

A footballer would never get prosecuted for defending himself in those circumstances.

Tavernier did nothing wrong and to suggest he did is deliberately deflecting the blame from the moron who will not be seen inside Easter Road for a long, long time, if ever.

It must have taken him the best part of 5 seconds to leave his seat, excuse me, excuse me, before tottering down the stairs, over the wall and on to the pitch.

Whatever his initial intentions were, they weren't to kick the ball away for "a laugh".

Celtic and Rangers fans breaking seats at various other grounds this season and invading the pitch.

Until serious change happens there will continue to be incidents as the police / Scottish FA need to do more.

They are also scared to go up against the Old Firm as that would affect the ££ that TV money brings in.

Just watched it - any word on why Tavernier wasn’t arrested?

Should Tavernier not seen red by the ref.

Ffs. He was keeping himself safe while doing his job...he was very restrained....

Der Hun, of course.

Why would he have seen red?

[Hibbyradge]

Embarrassing for us. That steward though was totally dreaming when he ran down the stairs to jump on the pitch.

I wouldn't have thought that he was going to do that either.

[mcfly]

Have you seen the full video?

It must have taken him the best part of 5 seconds to leave his seat, excuse me, excuse me, before tottering down the stairs, over the wall and on to the pitch.

Whatever his initial intentions were, they weren't to kick the ball away for "a laugh".

I was at the game so I never saw the tv incident. Only seen a shortened version of it this morning.

[silverhibee]

She is the appropriate authority. It's Easter Road. We have a responsibility to control our own supporters.

We have a responsibility for all fans in the stadium, not just the home ones.

[green day]

But it's okay for other clubs/fans to abuse our last 2 managers in our home stadium and not condemn that kind of stuff.

Yep

Hearts fans racially abused their own player recently, Hearts fans threw coins at our manager, Hearts fans threw bottles at Hibs end at Tynecastle, Hearts fans routinely sing sectarian songs, as do Celtic and Rangers fans, Celtic fans threw coins at Hearts keeper, Rangers fans threw bottles, coins, lighters etc last night.


So, is it just Hibs who are getting "sections of the ground closed" or "the book thrown at them" or "play behind closed doors"?


Remember all these nonsensical and hysterical calls were made in the days following our cup win and what happened?

Did we have to replay the match, forfeit the cup, or pay £1M in damages.............all of which were mooted by a hysterical media, Rangers fans etc?


No is the answer, and until something is introduced that all clubs sign up for, then we are in the clear.

[Hibbyradge]

We wouldn't get into trouble for failure to control away supporters, would we?

Hibs got into bother at Asteras for not having our own stewards, iirc.

[Fife-Hibee]

A lot being made out of the actions of this one person. Nothing being made out of the actions of the entirety of the South stand full of Rangers supporting bigots belting out their usual "tunes".

If Dempster is thinking about closing down part of the east stand, then perhaps she should also consider closing down the entirety of the South Stand whenever we're dealing with this lot.

I'm surprised there's not been any other whataboutery on this thread.

But they want the Old Firm cash, and the bottom line usually wins the day. I would have given them 900 tickets, same as they give us. 4000 Huns is a very unpleasant experience, outside the ground and the surrounding areas.

[HFC93]

Are some posters genuinely having a go at Tavernier for defending himself? Insane.

[Fife-Hibee]

The "whataboutery" is in the lack of action taken against them. The SPFL are delighted that this idiot ran on to the pitch, means they can just talk about us instead of them.

Start a thread about it.

Away end, but we haven't to mention that on this thread.

Would have given them the bare minimum of 2% (400 fans). But if we're going to start closing down sections of the stadium, then we may as well just close down the South stand while we're at it. Which will give them nowhere to sit.

I like St Agur, but I just don't think it's possible to beat a ripe, runny brie.

Pretty sure ST Js were condemned for allowing the Rangers fans on to the pitch up in Perth a few months ago.

That law only apples when you play in Europe.

Think Celtc are the only team who bring stewards to games, which is a farce, other clubs should be telling them that we will look after all supporters, have the Celtc stewards ever pulled any of the Celtc fans up for bad behaviour at away games.

Nope, they are only there so that - if anything happens - Lawell can point to them and say "we are v responsible, look we even provide our own travelling stewards to every club free..."

[Killiehibbie]

Is there legal advice about being confronted by a coked up/drink/intellectually challenged arse hole who has come on to the pitch?

A footballer would never get prosecuted for defending himself in those circumstances.

Tavernier did nothing wrong and to suggest he did is deliberately deflecting the blame from the moron who will not be seen inside Easter Road for a long, long time, if ever.The same advice given to everybody else that encounters them when working.

[McIntosh]

Should Tavernier not seen red by the ref. You really must be joking.

[GreenOnions]

We can certainly do without "fans" like that guy. I'm sure he's regretting his actions now but, at 21 years old, he doesn't have any excuse and can't complain about any lengthy ban from Easter Road

[Danderhall Hibs]

Why would he have seen red?

Raised his hands? He’s lucky the boy stayed on his feet. If he’d made more of it the ref wouldn’t have had any choice.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I see Leeann has said he'll be banned for life. At 21, that could be a long, long ban.

Sectarianism was back in the news, it is the biggest stain on our culture but that's now off topic because of the cretins in our crowd throwing bottles and confronting Tavernier. We need to sort out these half-wits ourselves and it was good to see LD react the way she did. As she said, these idiots are not fans, they are acting against the club and they can GTF.
