boo'ing and abuse to players

[Ultrabee1-0]

the boo'ing of players at ER has gone far enough. Every time a player makes a miss pass or not the right idea all a hear is '' hes ***** fenlon get him off'' we should be backing the players through hard times!!!


also the abuse on leigh griffiths at the minute is shocking! no wonder he is making abusive gestures at us if a was a life long hibs fan and playing my heart out and then getting pelters from the stands a wouldnt be to happy either!
not saying griffiths should have done it he is a profesional and knows better but you cant blame the kid!

time to put a stop to it all and cheer on the might hibees:pfgwa

[Steve20]

I don't agree with players being booed or abused at matches but maybe if players gave us something to cheer about, people would 'cheer them on'

Every week there is a couple of threads blaming the fans. It's the garbage we have to watch that's the problem, not the people who have paid money to watch it.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

If and it's a big if ...

If folks accept we are now in a relegation "dogfight" [undeniable]
and buy in to adopting a siege mentality

Then there should be no booing of Hibs players
And certainly no abuse of hibs players

For me it should now be you're either with us or not and if you have a problem with a player do something go do something more constructive

[Keith_M]

Our crowds have gone down by about 4,000 per game yet there seems to be as many people that get on the players backs as before.


Does that mean that they're our core support?

[Pretty Boy]

I said this on another thread but I'll say it again.

I'm off the opinion that very few people go to games with the intention of booing or abusing players, most of us go in the hope something will click and we will see a good, winning performance.

The abuse is, in my opinion, not just aimed at the players but is an expression of the frustration felt about the whole situation. When we twice got back into the game on Saturday and 2 woeful pieces.of.defending cost us a priceless point is it any wonder folk get frustrated and lose their temper. I'm not saying its right, just understandable.

Since the CIS win we as a support have endured far more lows than highs. It's a 2 way street, we have to.support the club and team but they have to give us something to support.

I can't recall a thread blaming the fans last week.

Even when 1-0 down the fans were right behind the team.

IMO the fans that boo and abuse are not helping the situation one little bit. Not blaming them for the situation we are in but they are not helping.

Whether its right ir wrong to boo the players or not its down to the players to show some more fight and give us something to cheer about.

As for griffiths i do blame him he has been caught twice now for gesturing at fans and should have learnt his lesson the first time. He should learn to block the abuse like other players seem to.

I agree with you. I'm sure I heard booing the first time Stephens got the ball after his stupid blunder that led to the St J second goal. At that point we had made all 3 substitutions. So we needed Stephens to hold it together as best he could for the rest of the match. Yes we were all furious at him but how did any fan who booed him think their actions were going to help?

As for Griffiths - he's the most creative player we have. Sure, I don't think he's the kind of guy I'd ever want to go for a pint with but we should be backing him for the sake of Hibs.

[happiehibbie]

Your right its the fans fault we are rubbish

we are to blame for lack off attitude

we are at fault because GOC can not find a pass or trap a ball
we are to blame because Ivan has no speed left and no skill
We are to blame so the players take it out on us

we are to blame because we buy and sell the players

i could go on

but your RIGHT its our fault

i dont think the abuse the players are getting is as bad as some are making out from were im sitting in the east stand all i hear is a bit of booing and groaning now and again. if the players cant take a bit of stick they are in the wrong job. i bet if the players had to pay a large chunk of their weekly wage to watch the rubbish we have to watch they would be pretty vocal as well

Unfortunately we are cursed with some w***ers in our support who have f*** all between their ears but a ridiculously high estimation of their own opinions about football/Hibs and a belief that they have the god given right to inflict said wisdom upon the rest of us at every oportunity.

It was ever thus - I can remember the same breed of morons doing their best to destroy whatever confidence remained within the likes of Tortolano and Brazil 20 or 30 years ago - even during the good times we had some idiots determined to heap opobrium upon the likes of Archie Lovell when Sauzee and Latapy were the teammates making him look pretty odrinary.

The situation you describe above goes way beyond stupidity and is part of what seems to be a growing culture of booing and whinging at the first sign of trouble - these days we only need to go a goal down for some pathetic twats to start booing - this is clearly to the detriment of the team and I think the rest of us have every right to tell the idiots to shut the f*** up - and report them to stewards if they fail to take the hint - this is especially the case when our main goal threat is likely to throw a wobbly at the slightest provocation and get himself banned for chucking a GIRFUY in the general direction of said idiots.

NO - but SOME of us are to blame for habitually making a bad situation worse.

Exactly it's not new to football and certainly not new to Hibs as some on here would make believe. It's not a new and growing culture at all, it's as you have stated been part of football for years well before our time. Can't believe the amount of analysing and moaning on here about it over and over again!!!!

Report people to the stewards for booing! Your having laugh....fans can do and say what they want at football, everyone pays there money....footballs crap enough these days without fans complaining to stewards about booing! Is booing a crime?
What's next complaining when someone farts around you, complaining that the person next to you is not wearing the right colour of shirt?.... Stewards are there for safety reasons nothing else
Anyone who turns up to ER just now needs a medal not abuse from the rest of the support!
Have you not realised there are 8000 turning up for a home games, 8000 Hibs fans rattling around in a massive stadium, hardly intimadating place to play!
I'm sure the Hibs players are big lads and can take a few boo's from the Hibs faithful! If not we are in big trouble on Saturday as they'll be 50,000 Rangers fans booing them from 3pm on Sat!

Problem simple to fix, start winning at home, the crowds will come back and the booing will stop! we'll it should stop for a while

It's not fans fault that the team are lack some of the basic footballing skills.

But if a fan is acting like a twat by shouting abuse at our own players, then it's that individual fans fault that he is acting like a twat.

Despite the title of the thread, this is not about 'booing' - its about personal abuse directed towards our players by a few empty-headed individuals.

But anything goes, eh?

But my take on this is that the fans and the team are just that, a team. about time we moved away from this "he's calling me names and I'm telling!!!"

Let's all just, "MAN UP" and get the job in hand done...

Ideally it would be great if ALL Hibs fans sang Hibs songs for 90mins but ER's atmospher has been poor for years!
Main problem is the football on offer, it's up to the individual to do what they want!
I'm confident everyone goes to the game wanting Hibs to Win, but the fans that do go now are frustrated when things are going badly!
A few folk booing shouldn't affact how our players perform! There professional footballers

Singing Hibs songs for 90mins is the best way to show support the team, but ER has no atmospher, we hardly sing a song!
Most folk that go are quiet and don't say a word all game, then you have the 100 or so folk that try and start a song which quickly fades out and there's the other fans that are frustrated and shout comments out and boo now and again! There all Hibs fans, there's hardly any going to the games, my point is there entitled to comment on the game as they see it.............1 win in 12 home games in a poor SPL, i can see why fans get frustraited
