Home Support.

[Thecat23]

Read loads lately how home supporters are moaners etc.. And that's why the team doesn't do well. I don't manage away games but do support the boys 100% at home.

So if you are a moaner ;) may I suggest leaving the abuse for one week and see if this theory is actually a fact!!

Yes this thread is more tongue in cheek before the uber fans come on and have a go :D

During games, I'm too busy reading my paper to be moaning. If I ever do moan, it's because my soy mochaccino and organic nibbles aren't hot enough.

[Vini1875]

There are plenty around where I sit. I think FIFA Manager has a lot to answer for, these guys seem to know exactly what to do all the time and never get anything wrong. Most recent whipping boy is Lewis who seems to need a very over weight counicl worker to tell him what to do and where to stand. The most annoying thing about Lewis is that he seems to pay no attention to over weight moaners. The best ones though are the guys who moan at a player who they have mistakenly identified, like giving Claros abuse when in fact they were shouting at Tom Taiwo or any combination of players who look nothing like one and other.

I start moaning before I leave the house so by the time kick off comes around I am nicely warmed up. Sometime the team ruin my day by playing fairly well though.

I usually gave a wee grumble if I get woken up during a game by sweetie paper rustlers.

Sorry Matty - the odd one sneaks in but we normally take jelly babies (no wrappers - genius!).

Random Thought: Maybe if offenders are persistent surrounding folk could create a laminated green card with some simple but effective phrase on it e.g "sit down shut up" ;)) then it could be snuck in and placed before the game.

[LioNeilMessi]

Sorry, but it has been too long since the last home game. Personally I cannot wait to moan and boo the players off at half time

Just be thankful Calderwood is no longer here

[Craig_in_Prague]

It's the beer wearing off IMO and people get tired and grumpy due to it, dry throats, pish fitbaw team on show and so they start mouthing.... a bit of a headache coming on, makes them more grumpy.
Could be, lol

[Mikeystewart]

Is it time we introduced a moaning section? somewhere near the singing section in an attempt to drown them out

Now there's a crime I just don't understand. Rustling cattle or sheep yes but sweetie papers?

I agree, but on the other hand if folk didnae moan aboot the moaners then we'd have nothing to moan about.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when you think about it.

[PatHead]

I suppose you can't beat a good grumble.

[patlowe]

I'm more of an internal moaner - does that count? In my head I'm thinking Stevenson is out of position, Fenlon is tactically inept, Collins is a headless chicken, Nelson is a carthorse, Thomson's going to get sent off, Cairney's too fat, the oldest of the new stands are starting to look a bit discoloured etc etc but my natural self-consciousness stops me from exploding into your archetypal red-faced apeman screaming at the players as his son looks on in fear. Ach, maybe one day.

The best ones though are the guys who moan at a player who they have mistakenly identified, like giving Claros abuse when in fact they were shouting at Tom Taiwo or any combination of players who look nothing like one and other.

The best one along those lines I ever heard was actually at an away game - Queens Park in the league cup in (2007?). Coming towards the end of the match - through which Hibs had been really toiling - Older guy behind me, who'd been moaning all match starts screaming at Tony Mowbray to get (A Player*) off or he'd never be back.

To be fair to the guy this was a brilliant and incisive tactical plan with only three tiny drawbacks.

(1) John Collins was the manager not Tony Mowbray
(2) The player he wanted substituted wasn't on the pitch
(3) We'd already used all three of our subs anyway.

It was one of those occasions where you just had to laugh - while thinking who'd be a manager at the same time.

It did strike me as an odd one though - there were only a couple of thousand supporters in the stadium that night, you'd think anyone there would be a real diehard and wouldn't make mistakes like that.

*Cannae for the life of me remember who the player was he wanted off! Benji? Whoever it was, was definitely not playing at the time though.

Second best one was at a reserve match when one gentleman used the occasion to start having a pop at first team players who weren't even in the stadium. He finally had a blast at Andy Mcneill (who to be fair was actually on the pitch at the time). At which point John Collins strolls over and very politely tells the guy we don't need support like that and would he mind shutting up or going away. Had massive respect for Collins doing that at the time.

No, we are in just as bad a state by all accounts.

[God Petrie]

The pressure is undeniably felt more by the players at home due to the negative atmosphere that looms if we go a goal down. Unfortunately some take this as a personal sleight because they don't go to away games and will dismiss this valid criticism as some sort of "über fan" boasting via jokes when in reality people just want to improve the players chances of competing at home.

Confidence plays a massive part and the fans should be the people fostering confidence.

Few Hibs fans go along to ER with the intention of moaning or throwing abuse at the players. It's just that sinking realisation after 10 mins that the team really is that bad, that brings it out

[Dashing Bob S]

Generally an upbeat sort, but prone to the odd lapse into excruciating moaning, just to mix things up a little.

[IWasThere2016]

I leave ma moaning to here (you may have noticed ) and get behind the team 100% at the games. Going ra morra and backing 2-1 the Cabbage

[basehibby]

I usually restrict my moaning to the quality of the pies and the eye watering price for a cup of stale warmed up sludge (coffee).

Butr I've come across plenty enough compulsive moaners, and my favourite incident was when sitting in the Famous Five watching a game vs Livi or something, but it was during that great era of Sauzee and Latapy () and it will come as no surprise that there were STILL some whinging Gobsheights who just could not help themselves and had to barrack someone in a Green and white shirt just to scratch that miserable itch or whatever.

The stool pidgeon of choice at the time was Archie Lovell (Yes - I know - a more than decent player) and all through the first half some paragon of wit and incisive comment just along from us decided to treat us with "Lovell yer ****in sheight!" or similar at various intervals and at great volume.

Naturally enough this started to get on my tits, so after a while I leaned over to the guy and asked him to try SUPPORTING the team for a change - at which he responds with the usual "I've paid my monay and I'll say what I want" pish that gratuitous whingers always come out with. He did pipe down a bit right enough but what REALLY shut the daft twat up was when Archie then proceeded to maraud up the park and score not once but TWICE to seal the points for Hibs.

I made sure and tapped the guys shoulder during BOTH celebrations and asked "not so sheight now then mate eh???" thus deliberately and completely spoiling the moment for him - served the daft basturd right!

Booing the players off at full time is the best bit for me.

Another moaner!

[HibsNibs]

My usual mantra of 'FFS Hibs' was transformed into gasps of satisfaction & amazement last Saturday when Zoubir came on. There will be no moaning from anyone if the laddie plays tomorrow.
