My dad tells a story of being at a game many years ago, when Marshall’s Chickens were a thing (may still be :greengrin), where the referee was coincidentally and unrelatedly called Marshall.
an older fella along from him had been giving the ref dogs abuse the whole game, never stopped. At some point in the second half, the ball goes out for what should have been a Hibs throw close to where my dad is, but is given to the opposition by said ref. This guy is bright red and losing the plot by this time, shouts “you’re sh**e ref”, then, in struggling to find something else to shout, resorts to “...and...and...and...and your chickens are pish by the way!”
Perhaps not worst moaning but certainly the most moderate, middle class moan ;
Heard at Dumbarton away during the promotion struggle;in an educated Irish voice behind me;-
"Hibernian--that's MEDIOCHRE!"
Then there's that woman in the Lower West with the regular strident shout "Come on HIBERNIAN; show some GUMPTION!"
:flag::flag::flag:
Not that I found it funny (well I did TBH coz I was a v silly young boy at the time and didn’t think there was any injury or distress caused) or condoned it but the worst moaning I ever heard from the terraces was from the linesman when he was “escorted” into the south enclosure by Bobby Thompson on 19/11/1983 🤭
Like the singing section, can we not get a designated moaning section ? It could be enclosed in glass and they could show reruns of the 2014 Hamilton game, that 2012 final, the 7-0 Huns game at Ibrox and many more - they would be in heaven but might self combust as they couldn’t complain about getting cold and/or soaked🤭😬
That ex Cowdenbeath player Dean Brett sometimes sits in my vicinity at the bigger games. For a professional-ish footballer I've never heard someone talk so much pish about the team.
It's true when they say not all footballers are cut out to be coaches.
Wasn’t myself who heard it or at one particular game it was in fact across a full season or two, my uncle always tells the story how him and his mates had two elderly women who sat behind him for the season must have been mid 90s and they just constantly shouted all game every game “taaaaaackle taaaackle”
I can’t remember what game it was last season, but we were playing like absolute *****, and had to do something in a game.
Whittaker was getting subbed on - I was genuinely happy, so cheered him loudly on to the park.
Auld boy behind me thought I was being sarcastic, and telt me I’m no Hibs class for abusing players like that. Couldn’t believe it 😂😂
Well I have to say I heard an absolutely outstanding shout today, “why are we wasting 300k on doidge, we should have signed stevie May” this was at half time. Same person was last person to sit down after the goal and high fiving his pals. The fickle life of a football fan
The pies that are ordered up before the game but which arrive late in the second half and are the wrong type - returned and when the correct ones are delivered they are cold and get there just after any random wee Diddy team equalise against us at the same time as the Poppy Thieves take a late but undeserved lead - that would be the perfect fitba day out for these dudes 👍🤭
Yup guilty your honour , but I cant for the life of me remember who I was having a pop at think it may have been The Porn star " Dirk your absolutely rank rotten come and stand next to me and watch how crap you are " I just got the e out of ARE when he with his back to the defender flicked the baw of his right heel turned to his left dipped the shoulder and bent it in the bottom left hand post round the advancing keeper , super goal ,super skill. Guy turned round 2 rows down "good shout big man" felt such a prat just started chuckling as did the surrounding Hibees
many moons ago my eldest and i took our seats under the tv gantry in the old seated East........My drunken brother in tow. We were playing Raith as i remember but my brother insisted on shouting abuse at what he thought were Dundee players.
He then turned on Hibs and Michael O'Neill in particular...who to his credit when hearing my brothers tirade as he was taking a throw in around the half way line area..turned and told my brother to **** off. Cue me (to my "big" brother) "if you don't shut the **** up i'm gonna knock you out"...he was last seen scurrying up to the top off the terracing and out the ground.
Never attended another match with him ever again
I remember when we were playing ICT and Lewis Stevenson was lining up to shoot from outside the box. "FFS don't hit it from there". Back of the net for (I think) only his 2nd goal.
Similarly when we were playing Gretna (think we won 4-2, or 4-0) Zemmama was lining up a free kick and I made similar complaints about him never scoring free kicks. 20 Seconds later, ball was in the back of the net.
Delighted to be proved wrong both times!
