Racially abused on Instagram. Disgusting.

[LaMotta]

Shocking. Strange one as looks like someone from Brazil. Or maybe Portugal.

[Chorley Hibee]

I ****ing hate people at times.

[SteveHFC]

****bag.

Keep your head up AD, cracking young talent and never ever let a small minded racist imbecile get you down son.

Yer a top lad too 👍 you’ll have plenty occasions where you shine in the green and white 👌

Social media. The place where people confirm that they are morons

[BoomtownHibees]

Be someone abroad who has had a bet on. Not that it makes it right

Social media, the place where the world confirms that they're morons.

[WeeRussell]

A guy taking photos of himself in a vest, in the mirror with his phone shouldn’t be handing out abuse in my opinion.

And obviously nobody should be giving racial abuse.

Statement from Hibs:

"Hibernian FC is aware of the racist comment made towards Allan Delferrière on social media following our match against Ross County.

The Club condemns this abhorrent action in the strongest possible way. Racism and any kind of discrimination have no place at Hibernian FC, in football or society as a whole.

The Club will investigate the post alongside the social media platforms in question and if identified, the individuals in question will face the strongest possible action.

Allan has the full support of everyone at Hibernian FC. There is no room for racism"



Bit strange to be talking about taking action against a random from another country who isn't a Hibs fan.

[LunasBoots]

Horrible behaviour, the person in question looks to be from overseas and isn't a Hibs fan.

[EdinMike]

It’s not hard to track, you look at the the IP address (I know this is a bit codey for some but I grew up in the 90s) and you can pin point these eejits, even if they want to hide behind what they think are “firewalls” there are work arounds…

Firewalls only block inbound and outbound connections. They certainly won't hide an IP address from an accessed site. Only a proxy server can do that.

Unfortunately social media is full of racist morons like this guy and nothing will come of it.

Probably some random raging his coupon got beat.

Sorry if I've misunderstood this... but racial abuse of a player should never be acceptable regardless of the posters origin.

[J-C]

I can never get my head around racial abuse, it disgusts and baffles me.

[Pretty Boy]

Alexa how can I show the world I am a total moron?

Make a racist comment. This is bizarre in any circumstances but when it is motivated by a poor football performance it will really show you as a total ****in idiot.

[FRes Hibbie]

I think the point is that it’ll be tricky for the club to “take action” against a non hibs fan overseas - where banning from ER etc will have no effect.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Shocking. Strange one as looks like someone from Brazil. Or maybe Portugal.

I watched the game on what appeared to be a Portuguese stream last night so maybe helps explain why someone from Portugal would have any interest in it.

You have misunderstood! Explained by FRes Hibbie:

You could be right, maybe someone with Hibs on their coupon.

Could even have been a bot knowing how social media is going these days.

[TheHibernator]

The statement should’ve been worded better imo, as it’s nothing to do with the fan base and it’s easy to assume from the statement that the comments came from a Hibs fan. Still disgusting and hopefully Portuguese/Brazilian authorities will be able to assist. More an issue with social media and society in general.

[Smartie]

Whoever it was and whatever motivated it, I think it’s commendable of Hibs to come out in immediate support of an employee, even if only to set down a marker that they won’t tolerate that sort of filth from anyone.

[MrSmith]

Saw this and pretty surprised and angry.

In no way does Delf deserve to put up with garbage like that and if from one of our fans, GTTF instantly!

Already a thread about this.

It doesn’t look like it was a Hibs fan. Some Portuguese geezer. Or potentially even a bot.

Had a quick look and never saw it. Happy for the admins to delete or I'll try.

[davhibby]

You see this quite a lot on social media now with online betting being so widespread. Most of the time it’s directed towards teams but looks like this guy has seen that one of the goals was an og and decided to go for Delferriere directly.

But also Yes.

Horrendous abuse for the young laddie, terribly worded statement from Hibs.
