Wearing a CCS tee shirt
Mentioned how Morelos wouldn't get away with what he does in England as the referees there don't do the "Weegie indulgent nonsense" and a positive tonight was no away fans so no sectarianism 👏👏
he didn't miss bawjaws PM Johnson on twitter yesterday either
not language for a family board ;)
And apologised for wearing it under a jersey because it was cold 😂Quote:

He was excellent, and I thought he made David Tanner a bit better as well.
We've had some decent guests on this season but I think that just about topped the lot.
Irvine Welsh was good value tonight - very engaging.
Could Hibs get into bother if he’s on more frequently? If not, I’d like to see it.
He's getting absolutely slaughtered on twitter. Rangers fans asking for a apology from both him and Hibs to Morellos and Rangers for his comments. :tee hee:
I was told he said:
“Morelos should be chopped up with a machete and shipped to the four corners of the globe to be fed to seagulls “ ...... if true, good for him. I feel sorry for the seagulls tho’. :greengrin
When’s the match normally available to re-watch? I switched off at FT and regret it big time.
I've seen that as well but I didn't hear him say it.Quote:

What was it he said about his "tits" I remember laughing at the time.
It was amusing but he does play to the populist Hibs support who like having their belly tickled.
Was laughing his tits off at his hard mate greeting after the cup finalQuote:

My internet was playing up so had to watch the Sky coverage, do Hibs put the shows up to watch later?
Yes but sometimes it is the full unedited show and sometimes they don't include the pre-match, post-match and half-time chat so it's just the football.Quote:

I suspect it will be IW’s first and last invitation to be a matchday guest on Hibs TV, which would be a shame. The media in Scotland will lap this up..
The Huns are a delicate bunch, aren't they? For all the paedo, junkie, spoonburning, taig, fenian bull**** they spout on an hourly basis - they don't half get offended easily.
A writer uses hyperbolic imagery to condemn a nasty, violent, cheat of a player, and they're away crying about it!
They care more about Irvine's metaphorical violence than they do Morelos' actual violence. That says it all.
Didn't see it, or it was a perfectly innocent tangling of words.Quote:

Yeah I said something similar last night and was told it was nonsense. I don't think we'll see him on Hibs TV again, particularly if a complaint's made.Quote:

It's all part of the stupid game we have to play in Scotland pretending anti Protestant bigotry occurs at anything close to the same level as anti Catholic bigotry. If you read the press you would think the number of Republican marches that take place in Scotland was comparable to the number of Orange walks. In 2019 Orange walks accounted for 182 marches in Glasgow alone, there were 16 Republican marches across the whole of Scotland. Catholics are about 15 times more likely to be the victim of a racial aggravated assault.
Sectarianism is in it's death throes in Scotland but we shouldn't indulge this stupid game by giving any acknowledgement to hun or variants being sectarian. It isn't and it's all just part of the 'we're victims too' agenda from the Rangers support.
Most clubs have a minority who are out of step with the majority of a fanbase.
Rangers used to be no different - they used to have a tiny minority of fans who were decent and you could actually talk football with on a certain level.
Unfortunately even they have disappeared and the whole lot are a bunch of seething, bigoted, moronic cretins who belong in a bygone era.
Every time we play them there ends up being a pantomime of some description.
They've played well this season and will deserve their title when it comes. From where they've been, that's quite an achievement. They deserved to beat us by being marginally the better team than us last night and they ground out a victory in difficult conditions. They should have been down to 10 men after 17 minutes, it's not even up for discussion and any sensible fan will acknowledge when their team "gets away with one" which we all do on occasion. And fans of other teams should have broad enough shoulders to accept a bit of hyperbole from other fans, especially on "club tv" stations. If you can't take stuff like that, football is not for you.
I have had hun mates in the past but I just can't bear to talk football with them any more as, to a man, they have turned into jibbering morons.
It's a shame, because we used to have quite fun exchanges of views in the past.
Dissspointed in Irvine. Should have just called him a horrible little hun rat
Had two swear blind to me last night it was accidental and no more than a yellow.Quote:

Its classic Sevco deflection, shift the blame tactics and the fact the Scottish media and authorities have accepted their nonsense tells us all we need to know about the Scottish media and authorities.
Hibs should have Irvine back every game, he was quality.
Id like to see RG do an RP and treat any complaint about Irvines exuberance with the contempt it deserves. Or do a Tom Hart and tell them bluntly GTF.
Unfortunately, I think we might see some Hibs forelock-tugging if the hun media jump on this. Kenny MacIntyre, Chick Young, Daryll Broadfoot, Keith Jackson etc will be sharpening their crayons already.
thought he was really good, loved the "sticky buns" comments :greengrin
it's pleasing to see to them triggered like that when they all think it's "acceptable" to listen to their sectarian bileQuote:

I nearly pished myself laughing, but I suppose you had to be there.
I hate the huns and morelos as much as anybody but i think this might cause the club a bit of trouble. Its one thing saying it to mates or on a fans website but on official club tv is a different matter. It also takes the spotlight off morelos for the stamp on porteous. Hope im wrong.

"Irvine was a bad boy and said naughty words and somebody might complain and it might be in the newspapers and Hibs will have to apologize and Irvine willnae be allowed back."
What an utter sappy support base we have happily living life on their bended knee.

Wow.
Hun is definitely a sectarian, derogatory term for a prod in a Northern Ireland context. And because it is now labelled as a sectarian term the 'its not sectarian' argument is likely to fall flat. Im sure Irvine will take some flak for it but he will go back to his millionaire lifestyle and not give two ****s what the hordes say or think, im sure.Quote:

If a complaint's made and Hibs need to apologise for a guest on their live match programme using a phrase that's a reference to a term that's now rightly or wrongly considered to be sectarian then there really is no other option for Hibs to take other than to never invite him on again.Quote:

Does it matter when it's a PPV thing? Does that receive the same scrutiny that other modes of broadcasting do?Quote:

That’s the SUN picked up on it now. If I was hibs I tell them to ram their apology.
I believe so, yes.Quote:

I'm not sure if it would fall under the jurisdiction of Ofcom.
Presumably there were dodgy streams of it out there. I would have assumed this only happened when a game wasn't on Sky etc, but I guess from the streamer's point of view there's less chance of getting shut down rebroadcasting a club channel vs rebroadcasting Sky.Quote:

Just tell them Welsh is an East of Scotland football fan and nothing to do with us. Maybe with an allegiance to an English team that play in green. Plymouth will do.
It's the usual tactic when discussing Rangers fans behaviour.
Irvine's comments were in response to Morelos assaulting Porteous and biased or incompetent refereeing. If any apologies are due, they should come from Morelos and the referee. No doubt the MSM sycophants will focus on Irvine. Remember how sportsound for days on end vilified Gary O'Conner for gaining Hibs a dubious penalty. Had that been a Bigot Twin player not a peep would have been heard.
You're making out that Hibs TV can't possibly invite Irvine Welsh back on to the programme. I'm giving an example where they could and nobody would care .Quote:

So tell me again why shouldn't Hibs reinvite him?
If we can let someone who's been an international drug trafficker manage one of our top flight football clubs, we can let someone who's said a few controversial words back into the tv studio to give his views again.
CorrectQuote:

Know what will happen? In a few days it'll all blow over and everyone will have moved onto the next social media OUTRAGE. In a few months someone might go "Mind that time Irvine Welsh said that thing about Morelos?" "Oh aye. Heh."
But he never used the word “Hun” he said “Sticky Bun” can The Rangers fans prove he meant it in a rhyming slang way? Maybe it meant something else.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned him making the YLT sign with his fingers. I nearly fainted!
Rangers fans will be more annoyed that there isn’t a catchy rhyming slang for the term fenian. Not that they really require one given their liberal use of the word.Quote:

I think Irvine Welsh was bang out of order for what was said last night.
i do not like Rangers or Celtic but people need to rise above Racism or Sectarianism
He was bang out of order as is tanner or the girl for not apologising live on air
If you can't understand why Hibs would feel unable to have Irvine Welsh back on Hibs TV if he has been deemed to have used a sectarian slur, I'm not too sure what else I can really say.Quote:
