At the point we lost the second goal the fans were in full voice backing the club If players can't feed off that energy and bust a gut to close players down and put in a tackle and make a simple pass to another Hibs player they need to be emptied and that's what's happening We need players with the mental resilience to cope with a decent sized crowd We need leaders and winners on the park and we haven't had that for a long time

Why do people trawl the internet for this sort of pish. Did "fan pressure" get to Real Madrid?

If these radges can't take an 18000 crowd requiring a win then god help any of them ending up playing in england!

[Hibercelona]

I'm seeing words like "terrified" and "scared".

The hostile atmosphere (if you can call it that) didn't seem to affect any of the Hamilton players what so ever and they're not exactly accustomed to playing in front of 18,000 crowds.

[Jones28]

Piss poor excuse. If anything coming from a Hibs player says that fan pressure was too much then they should never play for us again.

[Sammy7nil]

The players are in the wrong gaame if they cant play in that atmosphere

[DaveF]

This is pish. Hibs have been garbage in front of any crowd from 3000 to 20,000.

The media love the 'fans got to them' drivel. It's just a crap team, with crap tactics and a crap manager.

The fans were in full voice cheering them on then Hamilton score , this stuff about us being hostile is a lot of *****! The players we have are ***** and if they can't play well on their own turf then they can **** off gladly 14 of them have already.

Whilst at times our home crowd can get on the players backs very easily...yesterday was not one of those days...by and large the supporters got behind the team for the whole game...yesterday was not an occasion we let the team down

[EdinMike]

If they truly are afraid of 18k people shouting at them, then go, now. I'm not afraid to stand up in front thousands of strangers, and shout at them, and ask for support. This is what we have to deal with though. Shysters..

[marleyhib]

17,500 Hibs fans turn up and the team let us down yet again, similar to the Hearts cup game. We did our bit Butcher and the team didn't.

They knew the size of the crowd before the game all Butcher had to do was get them up for it. We were 2-0 up FFS, get a third finish game.

Weak.

[147lothian]

Utter piss, some may say the past 14 managers were at fault others its the fans but its Petrie is the one common denominator!

[Boyle89]

I undertand what he was trying to say but the crowd had absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of the match. If they really are scared of big crowds then they've done a good job of ensuring there won't be any for next season.

Pathetic, grow a pair...

[portyhibernian]

If all the things anyone can blame our predicament on the fans are not on the list, we've given the team brilliant support through a shocking season, the worst in living memory for some fans!

[Shields Hibee]

Utter crap! Those players are just not good enough & Butcher should have drilled it into them that the game had to end in a Hibs victory.

How did Hamilton manage to get a win in front of a big crowd? They had desire to win and a manager who set his team up to do just that.

[Baader]

Just rubbish. The fans are blameless. Club should be thankful anyone goes given what we've been served up the last 5 years.

[The_Horde]

Fans were fantastic. That had the life drained from them by that shower of sheight. They've had tremendous backing all season and they *****e themselves from that more than nervy supporters.


They're just a bunch of cowards.

[Hibeesmad]

If playing in front of 18,000 people who support the club you are playing for isn't enough to make you play your absolute best then I don't know what is
