Ryan Porteous appreciation thread

[basehibby]

Just to throw in my twopence worth - the incident developed very quickly and i reckon Ryan was going for the ball. That said - so was the Aberdeen guy. I do believe Ryan was going for the ball but he ALSO DID clean out his opponent while preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity. Therefore the red card was an easily justifiable decision and it was not that clever to appeal it. A learning experience for Maloney I think - you need to pick your battles with disciplinary appeal panels - picking this one was not a smart move.

Porteous is picked by a reasonable number of fans as the Hibs player. Just scanning only Doig gets more picks but sometimes nice to see who others would have in their team.

This. I don't think for a second that Ryan was going for the player or that he is in any way a 'dirty' player in general. He was focused on the ball and puts a lot of passion into going for it, which sometimes serves us well. On this occasion, by the rules of the game the challenge was reckless and potentially endangered the opposition player, so it's a simple decision for the ref.



The fact that I think this - and agree with what's said above about the folly of appealing on this occasion - doesn't mean I don't also think a large part of Scotland's football commnity love to hate him.

Also, maybe Maloney appealing a futile cause is good for morale - all for one!

Hibbies is the plural of Hibby.

I'm a Hibby, and all mates are Hibbies. We support the Hibees :greengrin

Well, exactamundo. But let’s not make it about you, as you are so fond of saying :greengrin

[jacomo]

We are all Hibs, unless you are a jambo, or hun or some other random fitba team in Scotland.

[Hibernian Verse]

It must be ***** going around saying you support "united" or "city" or "the town" or "Saintees" etc

It's good to be a Hibee.

Honestly can’t believe some of the negativity I’m reading about this kid on here.

An utterly unprecedented grassing of him by a fellow pro and it’s Ryan’s behaviour that’s being questioned?! No mention of how no player has ever grassed on another player like that ever in football?! The clip wasn’t even conclusive. He had a wee kick out, it happens multiple times in every single game of football. He kicked out in the name of Hibs, lest we forget. Are all football incidents ever going to be reviewed by Twitter or just Ryan’s? If the latter can we at least defend him please?

This boy’s 22yo, the human brain doesn’t fully mature until it’s 25. But even at 22 he’s our leader, our captain, our comandante. He bleeds Hibs, throws his body in the way of our opponents, mocks them for sport. Whilst spraying passes about like Sauzee in his prime. And scoring match winning goals! How can any Hibs fan not absolutely love the socks of the boy?! Like seriously?

Does he mistakes? Like most 22yo lads his exuberance gets the better of him and absolutely he does. Watch how he learns though, that boy’s captaining Scotland.

And how can any sane person say he was mocking Emma Dodds. Obviously he was mocking Gerrard/huns for the craic and I utterly adore him for it.

Enjoy him and Boyle while we have them, jesus we’ve had worse. Much, much, much, much worse.

I knew this would age well, if somewhat missing in words as I’m prone to when red wine betters me.

But what a lad. Absolutely brilliant footballer just nearing his prime. If he signs a contract he’s a Hibs legend and if he doesn’t sign a contract, he still is. Preaching to the converted now but wowzers he’s good. I stand by my brain maturing at 25 comment, in 2yrs that boy’s worth mental money. Had £20 on him scoring anytime whilst at RossC last week and now love him anymore. It would ge difficult to say I’ve seen anyone better than Riordan in my life but, yeah, Porto just is. Hibs ****in legend whatever he does from now on in. Painful contemplating a life without him. My heart… is broken…

I’ll just remember the good times though. No-one can take them from me. I love you Ryan! Lol.
