Booing a cup winner in Cummings

[MWHIBBIES]

And applauding Griffiths, utterly bizarre.


Why did this happen? Very very poor.

[Scottie]

Rangers connection I’m guessing. Poor show indeed.

[JohnM1875]

Utterly bizarre stuff. I gave Cummings a wee round of applause when he came on. As the title says, guys a Hibs Scottish Cup winner

[MWHIBBIES]

Rangers connection I’m guessing. Poor show indeed.

You'd think that would be cancelled out by the Celtic connection and the texting 15 year olds connection that Griffiths has. 2 Hibs legends on show for Dundee today, and Leigh Griffiths wasn't even close to being one of them.

:agree: It’s embarrassing mate tbh.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Both booing Cummings & cheering Griffiths were distinctly weird behaviour to me.

[Hibbyradge]

Played for Sevco, maybe?

I agree, though, Jason's a legend and should be remembered as such. Folk don't have to applaud or cheer him if he's playing for our opponents, but booing is just wrong.

[MWHIBBIES]

:agree: It’s embarrassing mate tbh.

Yep. I don't think we should've booed either one. Polite round of applause for Jason and fonts. And nothing either way for Leigh. He's just a random former player.

[danhibees1875]

There was a mix of boos and cheers for both were they not?

[shamo9]

Booing someone who played a big part in bringing the Holy Grail back to Easter Road... it was bizarre :confused:

His goals were also crucial to us getting promoted. I don't get it at all.

Also, I think I remember him getting pedo chants in the previous game (2-2).

Good point.

Not sure if those commenting were at the game or watched on Hibs tv or listened to radio.

It wasn’t much of anything - folk need to chill out.

Cummings clearly got a 50/50 reception while Leigh was 99.9% applause. Yes, I was at the match.

[wookie70]

Those round me were a couple of claps for JC and silence for Griffith

[Greencore]

Idiots in our fan base strikes again, Cummings has never showed any disrespect to hibs, he helped us win the cup, legend, end of. Infact, while we are on the subject. Didn't he sign a contract to make sure we got money for him and he didn't pee off to England free?

[shamo9]

I was sitting in the West Stand and that's exactly how I heard it too.

[lord bunberry]

I gave him a clap and shouted something to him, he gave me a thumbs up as he went past. Utter cretins booing him, I don’t get it tbh.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Sounded like lots of booing for Jason where I was, didn't hear anyone boo Griffiths, apart from me, I'll admit to letting out a solitary BOO in response to his arrival, would have just ignored him if it hadn't been for the contrasting & undeserving way each were treated.

[Crab apple]

There was a mix of boos and cheers for both were they not?

Same here. In fact in the Famous Five I heard more cheers than boos. Admittedly the cheers for Griffiths seemed louder.

[Vault Boy]

Happened the last time he came up against us too. Think the key is to try and drown the booing out with applause, can't see any of the detractors being converted.

I hate Rangers, but have a lot of time for JC - can't really understand how any Hibs fan couldn't, but who am I to judge? I wouldn't mind having him back at Hibs either, but that's for a different thread.

[hibs4life]

That was also my perception from the West Stand

[Hiber-nation]

Exactly.

I was at the game near the back of the East and there was a fair chorus of boos for Jason as soon as he came on followed by some applause. Griffiths got far louder applause and no boos.

While it's hopefully daft laddies that will realise how stupid it all is when they get a bit older, it's still pish poor behaviour.

[ABZHFC]

Cummings was initially booed by some and then a majority drowned it out with clapping (and rightly so)

[TheHibernator]

Yeah was definitely larger applause for griffiths with very little booing. I didn’t give either any sort of reception but booing Cummings and applauding Griffiths is bizarre.

[JimBHibees]

Truly pathetic booing Cummings ffs the boy helped us win the cup

[Alfred E Newman]

Certainly never heard any booing from my spot in the west. Some clapping from a few and that was it.

Never disrespected the club and deserves the same back.

Really you never heard any booing when Cummings came on. I’m in the west and you could hear it a mile away. Disgraceful booing a legend like Cummings and clapping some old clapped out footballer who played in one of our worst ever cup finals.

[Sir David Gray]

I would never boo a cup winner but also wouldn't applaud an opposition player during a game.

I wouldn't hesitate to clap Cummings off at the end of a match as he's a club legend but whilst he's on the pitch he's a rival and doing his best to beat us.

Definitely don't understand anyone booing him though.

[LunasBoots]

As someone who wanted Griffiths in the summer i certainly dont now, looks finished and not very interested in football, Cummings on the other hand i'd have back in a heartbeat right now.

[RIP]

Still witness an element of our support that conduct themselves like the Lesser Greens. Used to have two regular Smeltic fans in the S43 area.

Hatred of Rangers
IRA songs
Tricolours
Booing and name calling of any Hibs player with a Rangers connection - Whitts, Thomshun, JC

Let me guess you run the hibs central account?

[Bostonhibby]

He’s struggling to get a start for Dundee. Not really sure what’s going on there.A guy who generally knows where the back of the net is and has done it in big games for us in the past is a handy option to have, especially when we are not exactly prolific in that area just now.

All hypothetical but I don't think Jason is past it.

Weird.

I'm in the FF Upper and it was quite loud booing for Jason we heard, and cheering for Leigh.

Not from the FF as far as we could tell, sounded more like it was coming from the East Stand.

[RossScott1991]

Was very bizarre.

Cummings cup winning legend scored some big goals for us including winner in the replay v Hearts during the journey.

Leigh Griffiths a hibs fan who has 2 loan spells but gets caught txting wee lassies gets a better reception.

Bizarre

[.Sean.]

Rangers connection I’m guessing. Poor show indeed.
Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand the mentality of anyone who booed Cummings because he played a handful of games for Rangers yet applauding Griffiths who played about 50 times more games for Celtic. Probably the same folk who’d love us to be a mini Celtic. Rank rotten

Out or the two of them only one of them is a Hibs legend and it’s certainly not that waster Griffiths

Agree - but there couldn’t have been more than 20-30 booing him was there? I’d say way more applauding, but clapping isn’t as loud.

We’ve always had an element that boo ex players regardless of whether they were worthy of it. Stupid nonsense.

Dylan McGeough was pretty loudly booed by our fans at Pittodrie. Utterly baffling.

That was mental, I remember being actually pissed off at that. I think it's a feature of modern football, sadly. Why can't we just clap former players who had a good spell at us and didn't leave on bad terms?

[Bishop Hibee]

Crazy booing a cup winning legend. Short memories and who cares if he went to the Huns we got a healthy fee for him. As for Griffiths, what a waste.

[bigwheel]

I’ve often felt Hibs fans are quick to boo former players…it’s a strange habit….seem to do it for some more than others..I’ve no idea why a polite applause or nothing isn’t the appropriate respect..rather than booing former heros.

Commented on it at the game, poor stuff - as much as there was some applause for Cummings after the initial boos, the applause for Griffiths was much more resounding.

Utterly bizarre and very disappointing.

[Magpie]

Griffiths was a fan favourite during his time here so I understand the applause for him. Booing one of the players to win us the Scottish Cup is embarrassing though and are probably from people who hate Rangers more than they love Hibs.

[Smartie]

Did the clubs the 2 players supported as kids maybe have something to do with it?

[NAE NOOKIE]

The booing, no matter how sporadic, was out of bloody order and an embarrassment to us as a support. If anybody's excuse is that he played for Sevco on loan for 5 minutes .... get a bloody grip !!! Scored the first Hibs goal at Tynecastle in that game we all bask in and then scored the winner in the replay, then went on to score the winning penalty in the SF shoot out ... no I haven't forgotten his other penalty. And folk booed him ... I bloody despair at times :bitchy:

[AgentDaleCooper]

Jason cummings is a hibs legend. As someone else said, i'd applaud him if he ran over my dog. I hate to imagine him doubting the regard he is held in by the vast majority of hibs fans. Once again - Jason Cummings = hibs legend.

[AgentDaleCooper]

Maybe, but was SDG not a jambo at one point? Shouldn't matter a toss either way. Look at john robertson.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

poor show booing him

I blame reality tv shows and the internet allied to muppetry-level lapses of reasoning.

[Allant1981]

Personally didnt clap or boo any of the 2 of them, appreciate why cummings got a wee clap but during the game he is an opposition player who is trying to stop us from winning the game

[Glass half full]

Maybe a connection between behaviour such as this and folk choosing they'd rather stay at home and login?!

Bad enough listening to one of my mates I go with!

Still can’t believe folk wanted Griffiths back, looks like he’s been on my diet. Embarrassing for a so called professional.

I tend not to applaud opposition players onto a pitch, but after the game JC definitely deserves some form of recognition from our support. Griffiths - meh, just an ex player that scored goals.

It’s quite scary how quickly and how much Griffiths has fallen …wasn’t so long ago he was scoring worldies against England at Hampden ..now he is looking like someone who won a game in a raffle ..shame tbh

Surprised that Stevenson didn't get booed because his son signed for Rangers. People were sharing his family picture at Ibrox on twitter and stating exactly what they thought about it.

[Cardinal G]

I was sitting in the West Stand and that's exactly how I heard it too.

I'm in West also and felt that was a good shout as to level of booing and applauding.

[WestStandWillie]

Don’t have any issues with booing ex-players during the game. Good way to put them off. Seen it happen before and when the games done then applaud.

Chanting “paedo” at Cummings is awful behaviour though.

[Pretty Boy]

I wonder if some of the booing came from the younger team. Cummings and his mates could be proper pains in the erse when they were out and about in Edinburgh when he was here. The 'flame gang' or something they called themselves and they were just a nuisance. Certainly at Dens earlier in the season the bulk of the abuse and the 'paedo' stuff was coming from younger lads.

That's maybe overthinking it though. Played for Rangers is the more obvious explanation.

[Hermit Crab]

Not got an issue with football ****housery, all good banter as long as it doesn't cross the line like paedo chants he got at Dens. If he'd scored last night would whole stadium have stood up and clapped? I think not.

No. They’d have gone quiet and pi55ed off the same as if any other Dundee player had scored*

What’s your point?

*maybe apart from a few select morons in our crowd that would have shouted personal abuse at him… before applauding Leigh Griffiths down the tunnel.

Cummings done more for Hibs than Griffiths ever will.

[Iggy Pope]

Boo, cheer, jump up and down, people will make their own choices and should be left to get on with it..
Personally don’t see why there is a need for any of it, all three of them have been back to ER several times before with different clubs other than Dundee and are really just the opposition.

Ridiculous to boo Cummings considering how he served us Jambo or not. Griffiths is a die hard Hibs fan so he will always get a decent reception regardless of his off field antics.
Its definitely the Rangers connection with Cummings and others particularly if they leave to go there. Players who are so called Hibs fans and flip like Thomson get all the flack they deserve. Murray and Whitaker played without a Rangers love in and are probably respected more as is Mc Gregor .

Cummings played a big part in it. No idea why he was booed , there was more applause after the booing started.
Was good to see Fontaine and Cummings back at Easter Road last night , always good to see cup winning legends.

Cummings might be a cup winning legend but he's also a bit of a knobhead lets be honest - of which there are no shortages in football. House parties with 15 year olds, assaulting staff at McDonalds and thrashing his own flat before filming it.

All sounds like the kind of behaviour we’ve all got up to at some point.

Each to their own but can't say i've been to a house party where a minor was assaulted, banned from a fast-food restaurant or smashed my own flat up before posting it online for internet likes to be honest. I've obviously never lived....


Let's be honest, take it out the Hibs connection and Griffiths and Cummings are both ********s and disgracefully unprofessional, especially Griffiths.

[heretoday]

He's a hun.

Really? Well even the prawn sandwich munching, west standers and other assorted bourgeoisie are welcome on .net i'm sure:wink:

I honestly don’t think a lot of the younger supporters really understand what it has been like to live through decades of the cup hoodoo. Every single person involved in winning the cup on that day in May. Is a Hibs legend and has my eternal thanks.
They should never be ‘booed’.
I shook my heid when I heard some boos for JC, but I thought it was a very small minority who did it and it was immediately challenged by a slightly larger round of applause from others (though again not a huge number).
I don’t care if folk want to clap LG but he is certainly not as deserving of the applause as JC is IMHO.

Am I surprised it happened? I should be, but sadly I’m not.
When you hear and read the utterly disrespectful garbage that some cretins direct towards the cup winning legends who are STILL playing for us then nowt surprises me.
I think those who do dish out the abuse, either just don’t really understand what a momentous occasion 21/5/16 was for us or they are just @r5eholes.

Spot on...re your last sentence...'both' is the answer

[AgentDaleCooper]

Has Cummings achieved sainthood and is now beyond a bit of panto booing?

Between his goals against hearts and penalty against united (not to mention being involved in stokes' first goal)...i'd say yes, he has.

[AgentDaleCooper]

He's a hun.

Embarassing

[Antifa Hibs]

Cummings' stupidity strikes again

I understand JC being suspended for the event at the Hydro. Is there more to it than that? Halliday was also there and yet he starts today for the yams.

McPake said he wasn’t fit to train, and he wasn’t injured
Think you make out from that what the problem was

Mulgrew also there but I guess the difference is the clubs have gave consent to go

Dearie me. Sounds like JC. Presumably nothing wrong then with Halliday attending the event two days before a game as long as he doesn’t get single fished.

Pictures of him pissed at the event

I’m pretty sure Cummings breached an internal Dundee rule that they’d put in place to protect themselves against losing players over the Christmas period.

Other clubs I am guessing didn’t have such rules in place? Or the individual players sought special permission to attend?

[Helensburghhibs]

From what I heard Jason was Steaming at the event and rocked up to training worse for wear, that ties in with mcpake stating he wasn't in a fit state to train on the radio

Wouldn’t be surprised. A talent wasted by stupidity.

[King conrad]

I'd take him back at Hibs still think he'd bang in the goals for us

[Bridge hibs]

I'd take him back at Hibs still think he'd bang in the goals for usYeah, just like he is banging in the goals for Dundee, amazing what you can do when your arse is gathering splinters from the bench, its ok though because he has fat Griffiths to keep him warm

[Onion]

Sadly, not all good players can have the character of a John McGinn or Sir David Gray. It usually takes a mix of characters and personalities to make a great team, and without question Jason Cummings was a vital player/character in our 2016 Cup winning team.

Jason Cummings = Hibernian Legend.

[bigwheel]

Cummings seems to have turned into a caricature of himself ..even watching him warm up at half time looked a bit cartoonish. Will be really surprised to see him back as a first team regular in the top division …his best football will end up having been with us .

I’m guessing Halliday told hearts he was going similar to mulgrew and also guessing they didn’t get pissed knowing he had training and a game over the coming days

This. He belongs at ER just like Leigh.

Only in the stands.

If they weren't ex-Hibs players from several years ago, no-one would be demanding we sign someone who currently is only a sub for a Dundee side struggling in the bottom half of the table and desperate for goals. That isn't the standard required for a team with legitimate ambitions of qualifying for Europe through our league position.

The 2021 versions of Cummings and Griffiths would help us every bit as much as the 2021 versions of Vine and Kuqi.
