What about the boy in the lower west?!

[WeAreHibs]

Absolute disgrace! Was he chucked out or on his own accord?

[JXM73]

Which section?

[Franck Stanton]

Wasn't at game. What happened?

[Scottie]

Did he show more fight than our team today ? :cb

[Mainstandman]

He got chucked out.

[SaulGoodman]

I know you’re joking, but no. He was just a total fanny.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Absolute fanny.

[WeAreHibs]

Which section?

Section 8. Hurling extreme abuse at Scott when warming up. I assume because he dared to engage with so e of the kids in the FF.

[TelaStella]

He took great offence to Scott daring to take some photos with a group of kids.

[Pretty Boy]

It was ridiculous.

Scott deserves criticism for his performances on the park but that attention seeking nonsense because he got a picture taken with a couple of bairns was pathetic.

[Seekyit]

Good assist from Scott today.

I thought so too.

[hibee]

Made a complete fool of himself, how can you get so worked up about a player agreeing to a request from two young Hibs fans for a photo.

He was there for less than a minute then said he had to go and warm up, I liked when he gestured for the angry man to leave, that made him more angry!

[GreenCastle]

Sounds ridiculous - must have some serious anger issues sadly.

Hopefully he isn’t a ST holder.

[Logie Green]

It was like being at the panto. You must realise you’re in the wrong when the bairns are booing you!

[Northernhibee]

Someone on Hibs Facebook page complaining after Porto told them to eff off after giving their opinion on his performance. An opinion I’m sure was well thought out and eloquently put.

What a bunch of roasters.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

McGregor, Stevenson, bushiri, Jasper and others engaging with the young kids while warming up. Only seemed that Scott was the one that got the guys abuse. Totally out of order. Stewards were utterly useless.

It was mental with the kids. Never seen that before so many going for photos when players are warming up in the game

Anyone find the stewards overly enthusiastic at the FFL? One guy shouting at my kick asking him what he had in his pockets

[Shrekko]

The toxic element of our support is just far too noticeable.

[MWHIBBIES]

Scott is absolutely dog****, as bad a player as I've seen and shouldn't play another minute.

But for 90 minutes he's gets my support. Disgraceful way to behave towards him.

Yeah I was asked to unzip my jacket, asked what was in bag (from club shop) and take my wallet out of my pocket. They all seemed to be first time stewards. To put into context I’m a 47 year old dad with my 2 kids, glad they never found my smoke bombs and bottle of Buckie :wink: .

Toxic elements always appear when the club is struggling on the pitch.

Hopefully club ban him for a long time.

Didn't see the incident with Scott, but players who are supposed to be warming up shouldn't be having photos with kids, signing autographs etc, I wasn't happy about it nor were a lot of others around me, totally unprofessional.

Naked man on crack says it all, literally ‘pipe down’.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

You think players at clubs that take themselves seriously behave like that? Of course, top players sent to warm up during the game, rather than preparing themselves, are seen messing about without a care getting selfies?? Get a grip, behave, etc. As I said, I didn’t see the incident with Scott & it’s not a comment on that.

[IberianHibernian]

The toxic element of our support is just far too noticeable.I presume it`s the same with all clubs`supports . There`ll always be a few fans with anger issues , problems with alcohol etc who lose the plot . Frightening to think what they do when there are no matches . What happened during lockdown for example ? May seem more obvious in seasons like this when we`re seen to be underperforming but even when we`re doing well in top 4 there are always loads of fans ready to lay into players home or away . Part of going to games for some is opportunity to let off steam . Will be the same at other clubs .

Players have signed autographs and got pictures with bairns for as long as I can remember. Don’t think there will be a ground where it doesn’t happen. Less of the photos when I was a bairn because mobiles with cameras weren’t a thing, but I used to shout players over every week to get them to sign my autograph book!

Sure every club does have an element of moronic fans - it’s no excuse though. And quite frankly (and you always get hammered on here for daring to say it) the levels of negativity amongst our support are truly different level a lot of the time. Just way too many incidents where you cringe.

Just way too many incidents where you cringe.I don`t get to many matches unfortunately but I`ve always noticed a lot of our fans abusing our players at away matches even when we`re doing quite well . In most cases I`ve seen I`d put it done to pre match boozing on away trips . At home matches , ER has never had a great atmosphere whether with huge open terraces , " Old East " or modern stands except for odd occasions like cup replays v Hearts in 2016 and 2017 so easy to notice abusive fans like guy today . Not just Hibs surely . Two weeks ago on Hibs TV , Tam McManus was laughing about angry St Mirren fans attacking ( verbally ) their players .

I am. And I agree with the bloke. Scott should never wear a hibs branded garment again (not because of this, granted) and it’s a disgrace he ever donned one. Shows just how rotten our recruitment is.

If hibs approached me to sign I’d sign. I’m ***** but I’d sign. Doesn’t make it my fault I achieved 20+ appearances.

[Allant1981]

The incident happened during the game, i dont agree with what happened as the guy was going mental and ive said that on a couple of threads but also agree that players should be left alone during games to warm up, before and after games i have no issue but not during the game, tough for the player though as its a no win situation

[Paulie Walnuts]

:faf:

I could understand the argument if he had been sent out to warm up because he was coming on in the next minute or two.

As it was, it was the first half and he wasn’t about to come on. James Scott has done absolutely nothing wrong and the suggestion he has is absolutely laughable.

[Since452]

If the guy shouted like that at someone in the street he'd be walking away with a sore face. Easy to act hard shouting at a footballer from the stand. Imagine a grown man screaming in uncontrollable rage at another grown man for getting a photo taken with a child haha. Pathetic.

I actually enjoyed him standing there as if the stewards were holding him back from getting on the pitch.

Nobody was holding him back other than himself because he knew James Scott would punch him out his trainers.

Noticed Rocky signing autographs and selfies but not when warming up, he came out early at half time and did it before the rest of the subs came out for their half time warm up. Credit to the big fella

Darren McGregor was definitely doing it during the game. I daresay it would take a braver man to challenge him though hence why it didn't happen.

[Onceinawhile]

Think it's the first time this season they've done it as usually they don't come over.

The boy was an absolute roaster. Embarrassed himself big style.

Could you imagine the abuse he’d have got if he’d refused to sign stuff for kids?

I have plenty of questions about Scott's football ability but none about his decision making because he did the right thing by obliging the kids.

[LewysGot2]

There’s a guy, probably mid-30s, who goes home and away and positively HATES Hanlon. There’s no other description for it. He goes purple in the face as he snarls at him throughout the game. It’s not proportional to what we are witnessing and it’s really not healthy. He genuinely looks like he is fit to burst.

Last week at Livingston Hanlon was left alone for a change…with James Scott getting the treatment.

If I were his pal/family members going to the game with him, I’d be worried about his overall health and well-being. It cannae be good for you to be that wound up all the time :confused:

[hibstag]

There a boy who sits close to the dugouts in the west who shouts out some pretty close to the bone insults at the opposition especially if they have had anything to do with Rangers he didn’t miss Ian Durrant a few year’s ago. on Saturday he selected the aberdeen no 10 for treatment. ‘Get your haircut you wee pr@&k’ was his opening shot. However a few minutes later the no 10 was rolling around daft after a challenge, so maybe the guys a visionary rather than a guy who loves sectarian or borderline racist led rant when shutting up is more appropriate

[jakedance]

There was a guy near the front of the west stand on Saturday giving Paul Hanlon dogs abuse on his 500th appearance, and he gave McGeough pelters every time he passed us to warm up. Some people need to take a wee look at themselves and get some perspective. They can’t be happy.

[Phil MaGlass]

Not to stick up for folk that hurl abuse at players, but, I have been to a few games where folk have abused players (some from a distance) one of the incidents I witnessed was at a certain game and there was a guy around 40yr old giving dogs abuse to Makalamby he just went on and on, I had enough, so, got up to tell him tae shut the F up, as I got up to say something one of his mates tapped me on the shoulder and politely asked me to sit back down, where he explained to me the guy had a learning difficulty and when he got something in his head it stuck, he just couldnt help being abusive, his mates were forever getting up and asking him to sit down and swear less etc. I actually got talking to the guy, he was a really nice bloke and even while we were talking he was hurling abuse at another player. I couldnt begin to think what illness or disability the guy had.
Which brings me onto another illness which after two years of lockdown is on everones lips, mental illness, I believe the abuse of players and incidents of violence will get worse for a while. After being locked up for so long and having being told what to do and not to do has taken its toll, people who were maybe borderline or needed that extra nudge to put them over the edge may well have got it during lockdown.
Maybe, instead of seeing the guys as nutters or morons we could maybe take a moment to think hey maybe the boy has problems.
Like I said Im not sticking up for abusers, just trying to make a little sense of it.
