    Well we're not going to support them during the game especially during a semi final.

    Neither of them have ever said anything bad since they left, however we should be trying to put the opposition off their game more often than we do.

    Spoony was getting applauded as well and he was smiling on occasions when he was getting it. Harmless stuff.

    Absolutely. It wasn't vicious abuse or anything, more a "don't you dare score today" sentiment

    No idea why Wotherspoon got booed. Craig I couldn't give a flying one about.

    Probably the worst Hibs captain in my memory, terrible management team or not. Damn right he should be boo'ed.

    Spoony is an honest and likeable lad, but showed his usual self at McGinn's goal with a half arsed weak tackle.

    If this was Sauzee or Latas, I'd be concerned but these two guys were (at best) bang average Hibs players who were well paid and did nothing during their time with Hibs. If this upset them and put them off their game today, then fair play - they'll get over it.

    We need to shed ourselves of this nicey, nicey attitude as it's done us no favours on our way down to the bottom. High time we gave 100% to OUR own team and players we have at the moment. Maybe once we've started punching our weight, stopped our tendency to self-destruct and bottle big games, we can be more generous to ex-players like this.

    Lucky pen for the first ? Tell it to someone who gives a jot. Been legged over far too often to care .

    Nothing wrong with trying to put their players off and make it as intimidating for the opposition as possible.

    Nothing against the pair of them but if booing and making a racket when they get the ball puts them off then go for it.

    Nowt wrong with it IMO.

    He was garbage.

    Exactly the same as he was at Hibs, scared to try anything that wasn't the safe option.

    That'll be Wotherspoon's confidence gone for a month now. A right bunch of nasty ****ers, you all are.

    A bottler when it comes to the bigger games. Unfortunately hibs teams in the past were full of guys like that.

    2 guys who tried their best in very average Hibs teams. My problem with booing an ex-player who hasn't been a fanny is its potential to spur them on. Would rather just ignore them.

    Booing two ex players that never done anything but try for the club. But a judas like Iain Murray gets a testamonial

    Don't have any grudge with either but worth noting when Spoony came over in the first half to take a corner between the main & gorgie rd stands he got pelters from many around that area....and proceeded to take a crap corner so all fairs in my book if it gives us an edge.

    Better booing opposition as opposed to our own.....

    Neither did much in their time with us, so not surprised by some of the reactions......

    Spoony will cry into his Scottish Cup winners medal for consolation after such insight.

    Can we not just have one big thread titled Hibs fans are ****s. Every time we play a big game there's multiple threads slagging off our fans. Some people seem more concerned with this than congratulating the team on a superb performance and result

    United we stand here....

    Watching those 2 today just makes it clear how much we have improved...would not get near this Hibs team now. Spoony is just weak, half hearted in the tackle and delivers about 1 good cross in 12 attempts and Craig Waltzes round the pitch like he is Ronaldo doing pretty much the square root of f all...2 bang average players

    Only one of that St Johnstone would get in our starting 11 and that might be O'Halloran. Spoony and Craig might get on the bench now and then but not often.

    For me we have a squad that is better than all other teams baring Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and it's on a par with The Rangers.

    I've nothing personal against Liam Craig or David Wotherspoon, but they are opposition players now.

    What are Hibs fans supposed to do? Give them a nice polite round of applause? Cheer them onto the park, or what? Hibs fans should be giving all opposition teams players hell, and our own players our full vocal backing.

    I thought the Hibs supporters were great today in the way they backed their team. If they boo a couple of opposition players, I couldn't give a toss.

    I don't think Craig or Wotherspoon will give a toss either. Both would have gladly knocked Hibs out of the cup today, given the chance. That's how it is in football.

    Never booed either of them. Both scored winners against Hearts so deserve some respect

    I agree with this, neither player ever lacked in effort or determination to do their best for us - don't deserve to be booed in the same way as some dirty Jambo, which is what they both seemed to get today.
