    Lap of Honour

    Or appreciation. Or whatever it was.

    Not really a fan of this, especially when we have not done anything this season (yet) but I actually thought it was a nice touch to let the players bring their kids onto the park. Griffiths has his work cut out with the way his 2 were tearing round the pitch

    When Claros' wee one threw a tantrum and was waving his arms around it reminded me of a few posters on here

    Poor show by the fans what with most of them staying. Big teams don't suffer that
    This is how it feels

    It was also a nice touch to have the players kids as mascots today

    I think you miss the point slightly, they were thanking us for supporting them throughout the season. I dont think it was us cheering them for a successful season

    Was very well received. Of course the feel good factor was there on the back of a good performance and a third consecutive victory, and the big day ahead next Sunday. Leighs kids were certainly entertaining with their rampaging about the park and goals!

    Not really. They say 'thanks' at the end of every game to the fans. I don't really like the concept of the whole thing. it could have been a Kilmarnock situation where they lost and said 'thanks' to about 200 fans.

    fair enough, have to agree to disagree on it. I thought it was a classy thing to do and a good way to pull the curtain down on the season at Easter Road

    She seemed to be a fan of the Undertones! Very cute. The club obviously makes the players families feel welcome. I imagine it's one of the reasons why players like Sparky and Jorge would like to continue their careers with us. And it's something that makes me feel proud to be a Hibernian supporter.

    I enjoyed it. Season is over, think that no matter what it's important for both players and fans.

    Hampden we go, GGTTH!

    DaveF -- Not being funny here mate, but if you don't like it, just leave the ground at the final whistle. A lot of the fans do like it and I for one was in two minds about going today however , as it was last Home game and knew this would happen I changed my mind and attended, more to show my appreciation and see the players at end of game. Don't see the point in starting a thread about it though.

    Chill Mr Eric, I wasn't actually booing the players and kids as they walked around!

    If you read my OP again, I just said I wasn't really a fan of it. I also went on to contradict myself and say how good it was to see the players kids out there.

    Relax - we're off to Hampden

    I saw him give his shirt over, nice touch. Williams was also, great for the kids. Stuff they will remember and treasure.

    It's easy enough to choose to leave if you don't want to partake.

    I took that option, but I have no problem with others that stayed. I will stay next Sunday, to cheer our boys and sing sunshine on Leith then.

    Exactly the same. My wee lad said "Dad you look like crying". It was due to the fact of seeing Sparky leave the pitch for potentially the last time. I liked today, I wasn't at the game vs Dunfy last year.

    As you say...god knows what I will be like next week if we win. I was in tears at the Semi Final at full time...it is gonna be a flood next week, and I am driving...haha

    My brother likened it to saying farewell to your ex and watching her walk away in the rain. And you knew you'd been punching above your weight and would never repeat it.

    Christ I think I might have to go and hug my knees in a darkened room.

    i really enjoyed it. the boys have done really well these last 6 days and we go to hampden on the back of a good run. Seeing the players kids on the park was a great touch and a real symbol of what we are- a family club who are all in it together heading towards a chance to give edinburgh a moment of real historical importance and a party the like of which may never be seen again.

    Really nice touch. I said on another thread, it really felt like one big happy Hibee family at the end today! The players' kids really seemed to enjoy it as well and it was a nice way to say goodbye to a couple who we may not see next season. Big Ben in particular was great for bringing a bag of stuff to throw into the crowd, and it was fun watching Leigh's two run around enjoying themselves.
