It's the best advice available.
I've glanced at the threads tonight and they are all full of knee-jerk gibberish. Having lived through genuinely ***** Hibs times, I refuse to wallow in this pish in (relatively) good times.
Good night, Hibs.net. See you in a week.

Avoid Hibs.net if Hibs lose

Message boards are all the same. The world will still be turning tomorrow morning when we wake up, but its the modern way to vent ones spleen across social media when your team has a bad night, especially if it was shortly after one or two other bad nights and then add to the mix these boards are invariably inhabited by middle aged men who have a natural propensity to moan about virtually anything and you have a read like tonights.

Pretty much spot on.also when we do get beat. Folk that don't normally post that would like to say what they think get the Ltyf treatment...

I get the sentiment and the irony.

That's exactly what I did, well, for 8 hours anyway. The title of posts on here are really knee jerk and pathetic.
Last night could have gone anyway under those conditions but in the end we lose by a slack pass.
No need to trash any Hibs player, from what I seen, they all played as well as conditions allowed.
Get over it, I'm looking forward to the next game.

Go to any football forum for a read when their team has lost a match, especially when it’s during a relatively lean spell, and you’ll find threads and posts like the ones that appear to upset the emotionally well balanced, take it on the chin happy clappers. That’s football forums for you.

Its the performances that worry me
How many times will we hear that Aberdeen, Hearts and St.Johnstone are ***** and play hoofball? We are guilty of exactly the same thing and cannot beat these teams
Its excuse after excuse
We will beat the cannon fodder but there is no way Hibs will be playing european football next year

We've got posters on here trying to justify a defeat from St Johnstone, a team that's followed by three men and a dug.
Don't complain though, it's the Hibs.net way.

Surely you have to take the good with the bad? I would be very surprised if Hibs.net is the only fan's website that goes into extremes after a string of iffy results. IMO stoney silence if no one cared would be worse.

Oh I don’t know, times like last night and this morning on here can serve a useful purpose. Everyone generally outs themselves.
Most obviously it allows the core groups of miserablists and fellow travellers to step into plain view; the utterly incontinent Bed Wetters, the pished, those who clearly know eff all about football, those with a patently obvious anti-Petrie axe to grind in thread after thread, the specific player haters, the folk who’s week or month has been too grim to be able to cope with a defeat, the irrationally demanding, the trolls and the stirrers, the nouveau YamFuds, the deep sleeper YamFuds, the poseur contrarians, the anti-Lennonists, the Dempster haters and assorted ‘you can’t handle the truth’ posters who seem to be as happy mixing it in the face of all reason about Hibs as they are about anything else. I always wonder what it’s like in these people’s families when someone loses their keys, or orders them the wrong kind of coffee or forgets to record their tv show for them.
In amongst that carnival of Hibernian based Masochism and Sado-Masochism there are a relatively limited number of constructively critical posters who post thoughtfully on what’s going right and what’s going wrong - more or less objectively- without it being the end of all humanity as we know it. (Not me, I’m a happy clapper.) Those are worth reading, they’re usually quite insightful.
Still, it is generally like wading through a tsunami of ****.

Nice effort, though - you should submit that to "Pseud's corner" in Private Eye.

People need to blow off steam. Nothing wrong with that.

Ffs, ANOTHER negative thread after a defeat!! I’m going to start giving this place a miss after defeats from now on.

It's always been like this. The football forum, Facebook etc have just been added to the pub, car, train etc as places people vent after a defeat. The difference is online it's harder for someone to tell the guy who takes it too far to shut up because he's boring everyone. In an physical social setting the conversation moves on, online the same ground gets covered again and again.

What I like about this site when we lose is that I get to stop worrying about some posters that we've not seen for ages when things have been good.

If there's a longer version of what you posted, then thanks for editing it...
I kind of lost track at "nouveau yam fuds" and "poseur contrarians" though...is that some kind of avant-garde political protest party?

I think I said on the same thread that it doesn't really bother me if folk disagree with my views though, it is a "forum" for a wide range of opinions on all things Hibs, after all.
You seem to have the hump though that people are reacting/commenting on what you've posted - or are you just irked that your "look at me" post hasn't met with the widespread approval and appreciation of your acid wit that you were looking for?
