Club Statement: Ryan Porteous - Hibernian FC

Evidently found guilty of throwing a plastic glass in a pub that hit someone.

Time for him to grow up and act his age.

[Hibernian Verse]

Threw a tumbler at someone in a club. Fined £520 in total.

A plastic cup in not a tumbler I’d say . Still stupid and silly but unless you work for the daily record, it’s a plastic cup

An oxymoron if ever there was.

[NC1875]

Go to a festival and people are launching plastic cups all over the place.

Stupid but hardly crime of the century. Give the guy a break!

[Sir David Gray]

Good statement from Hibs, can't really have any excuse for this kind of offence.

Hopefully something Porteous learns from.

This wasn’t at a festival though, it was in a pub.

[AugustaHibs]

Oh no!

Anyways…

Two types of plastic pint tumblers.

The soft kind you get at gigs etc. and the harder ones which don't smash when dropped like a glass would.

I'm assuming he chucked the latter, I'm also assuming he wasn't intending to hit anyone and was just an idiot.

it’s a **** thing to do at festivals as well, tbf.

[Stubbsy90+2]

Acted like an idiot, been deservedly punished.

If he doesn’t screw the nut then his career will suffer. Far too much pish goes along with him on the pitch and now it’s become a thing off the pitch as well. Needs to wisen up pronto. He’s a good player, but not good enough that teams will think he’s worth the hassle that goes with him if he doesn’t sort it out.

Yep.

A polycarbonate glass is heavy. They are designed to be as good as unbreakable at least in part because some people think throwing glasses is a smart thing to do. That design feature adds a bit of weight to them.

Not the same as being struck by an actual glass but thrown with enough force could still be painful.

Hibs appear to have dealt with this well. Hopefully Ryan learns a lesson from it. Good player and a decent lad, stupid mistake and one he should look to grow from.

Correct. I don't get folk who think the girls nose was broken by a soft thin plastic pint 'glass'. If this was your Mrs or daughter, no matter who it was, you'd have hunted them down 100%.

Folk who throw them at gigs are also ********s.

Has to be his last chance now.

Didn’t realise the girls nose was broken. Pretty sure it was a small cut to her head

[Heisenberg]

Missed a quarter of the season due to suspension and also had this incident. Can’t have helped his prospects of getting a good move.

Oh that would be ok then?

Suppose when you’ve been taking all sorts of abuse all night that’s alright though.

Do you think doing 5 mph over the limit is the same as doing 40 over?

So you think it’s okay for someone to be abused verbally and physically on a night out because of who they are or who they play for?

No-ones saying it is but when you’re a public figure like he is you walk away. Either go home or frequent places that aren’t filled with absolute throbbers, like widburn club tends to be

[Zambernardi1875]

Why are Hibs even bringing out a statement about this. Shoulda been kept in house.

[SlickShoes]

Good to see folk rolling out the excuses for him just like they do for his needless suspensions

[Stuart93]

What I have noticed, funnily, is that the posters who’re wrongfully backing Porteous in this situation also tend to be the posters who’re constantly against the club in every other thread.

[Since452]

Sorry but the guy is a clown. Doesn't seem to be learning from mistakes on or off the park. This kind of thing will hold him back from going right to the top as on his game he is a real talent. Disappointing.

Ironic post of the year.

Nobody is saying he is not in the wrong for what he did. Just pointing out there are two sides of every story.

[Jones28]

Make or break time for Ryan. He's gone from being reckless on the park to reckless off it.

He needs to wise up, grow up and show up.

I don't think they're suggesting that.

Neither are acceptable. One doesn't justify the other

Probably getting it out there that he's also been dealt with internally by Hibs, so as folk can see we take these matters seriously, nothing wrong with a statement like that.
