So we go to dark heed where we haven’t won in ten years, on the back of a bad few weeks for our club. With all the furore and mess of the last few days and what smeltic have created going to Dubai when they clearly shouldn’t have, it’s clear to say it’s been another strange few days in Scottish football. SFA lacking bollocks, Celtic arrogance, all adding up to another bun fest of a week.
We turn up, still a few players short of a full squad due to injuries but the biggest thing I’ve taken from today is that a lot, and I’m going by social media, a lot of hibs fans had us easily set up to pump a weakened smeltic. They were only four players short of their starting 11 at Ibrox last weekend. Still a very hard team to beat at darkheed.
Some of our fans have absolutely no patience and it seems to me they have had us competing for the title in the last few years with some of their statements in regards to the teams recent performances and they also have us down and out at every opportunity before the games even over. We played Celtic away. We didn’t lose, regardless of the smeltic starting 11. But in some (many) it’s not good enough. And some of the vitriol aimed at the players really needs to stop.
We finally have a manager that has matched every other team in the league, in fact bettered them all in terms of points withstanding the old firm. But it’s not good enough for some. Why? Performances won’t be great every week. It never bloody has been. We need to realise that something is being built here that we haven’t seen for a long long time. We are creating something I believe. Slowly but yes. Why all of a sudden is it not good enough. We’ve been pretty average for years so why the sudden outcry. Some of our fans need realisation and they need it quick. Don’t be so quick to put down and rip in.
We are hibs. I’ve watched and been attending home and away for 45 years. This is a good time to SUPPORT our team. A few bad results in another wise good season. Stop the bloody negativity at every opportunity. We’ve never been world beaters so why act like we are.
Tin hat is on, I’m past caring

Great post. I post way less than I ever did on here as the negativity of late sucks the life out you.
I really think we are building something really good with this squad and manager and I'm enjoying the ups and downs of us getting there.

Looking forward and up at long last, some fans need to support the team and stop the negativity. Look at some of the social media tonight when we went behind. Ridiculous. We never lost. Do we need to do better. Yes, but we are in the grand scheme

You forget how many morons there are out there when you’re not subjected to their attempts at writing their thoughts every day.

Great post and I join you in your mood of optimism. I'm almost as long in the tooth as you and have seen the real hard times up close on more than one occasion supporting Hibs. I've seen Hibs teams collapse after a promising start all too often but I don't see that happening this season. Jack's building a good team I think and I fancy us to win a much needed trophy and finish a respectable 4th this season

Recently on this forum, never mind social media, I have seen the following posted;
The manager who has us challenging for 3rd should be sacked.
This is the worst football ever played by Hibs.
Drey Wright is one of our worst signings ever.
These are but a few of the hyperbolic drivel we are subjected to on a daily basis.
Nobody was happy with the two recent home defeats but you would think we had gone months without a win if you used the often hysterical reaction on here as a barometer.
We are living in very strange times and personally I feel able to cut the players and manager a fair bit of slack as they are not working in conditions conducive to producing their best.
We have a semi final very shortly which I am excited about and just wish I could be there with thousands of other Hibbies.
If we can win that we will be in a strong league position and a Cup Final which, as a 53 year old supporter, tends to count as a pretty decent season.

My general rule of thumb is not to post straight after or on the evening of a defeat. Its bad enough losing without reading some of the end of the world prognosis on here post match. All for constructive criticism but all too often its just a shoot from the hip over emotional negative response.

Put it better than i could. 100% agree. Sick of it to be honest. I thought the club, the players and Jack Ross stood up to be counted last night in horrendous circumstances and i was immensely proud of them.

Possibly in the heat of the moment someone has said Ross should go but other than that I could say with a degree of certainty you’ve not saw anyone say this is the worst football ever played by Hibs or that Drey Wright is one of our worst signings ever.
To make a statement like that and then go on to talk about the hyperbolic drivel you read on here is quite ironic really.

I often wonder if folk lump big on Hibs. It's the only way i can explain the reaction to losing goals like last night. Look back on the match thread. "embarrassing", "pathetic", "woeful" were all words that were used. Despite the fact that we had 16 shots and 10 corners at Celtic Park for probably the first time in my lifetime. Maybe social media isn't for me. Just find the reactions ridiculous. Think i'll take a break for a while. Absolutely sick of the negativity.

We have all seen the bams at ER loose the plot when things don't go well at ER. Now they are on social media.

I can definitely say that I’ve never seen anyone say this is the worst football Hibs have EVER played or that Drey Wright is one of Hibs worst EVER signings.
