Mixu Paatelainen

[Future17]

Apologies for a negative thread on a night like tonight, especially when the players and fans were excellent, but I thought the "Mixu, give us a wave" chant was a bit disrespectful.

The man is a club legend and I just felt it was unnecessary.

At least it is better than the pedophile or refugee chants. We can't be too picky.

I remember back in the mowbray days we sang that vs St Mirren when he was a coach and he waved back, I believe we where winning at the time then aswell.

Sad to hear any negative singing towards Mixu tonight. The guy gave me one of my fondest evenings being a Hibby.

I think he'll be bit thicker skinned than you think. Did he do any cartwheels and handsprings when we scored?

I remember that as well, think we won 2-0 that day. I didn't really see it as a negative chant at the time and I think most Hibs fans will have a lot of time for Mixu.

[Borderhibbie76]

It wasn't disrespectful at all..it was right at the end and just a bit of fun...no way would Mixu have thought otherwise

Forever a Hibs hero. Good luck against everyone but us Mixu.

[CB_NO3]

Clearly a bit fun. Mixu is a Hibs legend, hence the chant.

[Greencore]

Wasn't negative at all. Insulting Mixu would be negative. All we done was ask for a wave from a club legend.

[happiehibbie]

For Goodness Sake !!!! BANTER its what makes football. We are the most fickle fans in the world.
enjoy the winning guys because I have been with Hibs when they always seem to let us down so enjoy every minute we are winning

Well done to all the fans tonight now keep on coming back

[QMU-1875]

We were chanting his name just before positively so I'm guessing that people, like me, were singing it in a positive way. He's got some job on his hands with that lot!

It was indeed.

FFS I don't believe this thread, lets just all pack up, go home and wrap ourselves in cotton wool.

I loved singing that, he was a hero of mine too. his laddies are regulars at ER i think they still live in Edinburgh?
hope he took it the right way

[Fenriz]

Although it was good natured, I can sort of see where the OP is coming from, in that Mixu looked like he was in no mood for a wave or a laugh tonight. And who can blame him? He's got a hell of a job on his hands atm.

I felt sorry for him tonight, he's got a massive task at Utd

[MWHIBBIES]

Was a bit disrespectful to a guy who done a lot for our club.

Me too. I really like Mixu and I hope he does well as a manager if not at our expense.

I agree, he could hardly wave back when his team has been spanked

Listened to him on the radio after the game, massive task to keep Utd in this league and he knows it.

Good luck Mixu.

Hibe hero.

[Capt Mainwaring]

Mixu has far more to worry about than a wee light hearted chant asking him to give us a wave.

Hibs legend - good luck to him. He'll need it

[madabouthibs]

I feel for him, but let's remember what Stubbs had to deal with when he took the Hibs job. There's not many managers come into a club that's in fine fettle. ;-)

[The_Horde]

Whatever happened to good old fashioned hibs songs?

Deary me.

[HappyHanlon]

Guys around me were calling him Mixup Pantie-lining for not waving.

There are some complete classless gimps in our support.

[Sir David Gray]

Not quite sure how that song is disrespectful to be honest.

I'm sure fans of most clubs who are playing against a side managed by a former hero would sing something like that at the end of a comfortable victory.

I'd have said the "<insert name here> gees a wave" chant is as old as time itself, and the "what an effin signing" that got an airing tonight was sung to Mixu when he was with us, and tonight was probably sung by young lads who don't even remember it first time around.

No doubting at all it was completely positive towards him, though undoubtedly the score line helped that.

As a bit of a side note, having watched Stubbs and Mixu play together at Bolton under Bruce Rioch (and later Colin Todd), it's fair to say I never expected to be at Easter Road to see them managing against each other 20 years later!
