Yet again, I’m sat here on a Sunday trying to get my head around yet another abject, abysmal performance from Hibernian FC under Paul Heckingbottom. Another performance underlying all the same frailties this joker has shown from day one. He has taken us so far backwards that days of challenging for second place, while playing entertaining football with players and staff who genuinely got the club, feel like another era, not a mere season and a half ago...
With the opinion on here having appeared to have shifted significantly in the past two weeks, it can be assumed that the fans have had enough. Of concern is that there doesn’t appear to be any sign of impatience at the club, with the mood music indicating that Dempster and co will stick with their man.
I don’t have to think back too long for memories of this club playing rubbish football, in front of crowds of 8,000 with players who didn’t care. We would even struggle to sell out derbies at Easter Road and the away end at Tynecastle.
I loved the feeling that those days were a distant memory, but I fear they maybe back with us once again. I imagine many of you feel the same.
Dempster comes across as a leader with zero motivation to change. Her leadership has gone stale as the club wanders aimlessly on the pitch guided by the fraudulent Heckingbottom and his squad of duds. I am now of the opinion that she should also go, alongside George Craig and Heckingbottom.
We as a fan base need to make it clear to those running the club that we’ve had enough of Heckinbottom on Sunday, win lose or draw. How do we do it? Do we, the fans, stage a protest before the game by not taking our seats for five minutes after kick off so the board are firmly reminded of the sorry state we were once in? Do we wait until after kick off to make our feelings clear? Would be interested to hear what people think, because I genuinely don’t want to see this club fall on its knees again, having worked so hard for years to get off them.
Dempster doesn’t appear to care. We the fans need to make sure she sits up and takes notice. Time for change.

I find it incredible that this Uzi spraying of anyone in the vicinity getting punted appears. Guess we’ll have more of it in and around the derby - it’s a bit of a laugh tho isn’t it?

I could take issue with a few things in the OP but that probably isn't one of them.

I think the OP has some valid points.

Accusing posters of lying because you disagree with them is grossly offensive and yet another sign of this forum struggling to conduct free and fair debate. Not pleasant.

Lots of decent points, but not entering the stadium before the Derby is not a option. That’s the game we all need to be there early and let those ***** know we’re up for this.
If we let that shower beat us, doesn’t matter about the next lot of games. We shouldn’t put up with losing that game. There protest should be nothing compared to what we should do if we lose. But on the whole, our support just take endless amount of crap that we have to put up with.
Let’s just beat them.

Some valid points in the OP.
Dempster had plenty credit in the bank but it’s reducing rapidly at the moment. I don’t actually blame her too much for PH being rubbish because these things happen in football. But she has to recognise it and fix it. Add to that we’ve only heard from her properly a couple of times in the last six months. On one occasion she told us Oli Shaw is one of the best young players in Europe. And on the other occasion she told us we we had a good transfer window. Fans aren’t daft, don’t treat them like mugs.

So in the brotherly spirit of a Sunday evening on the .net I apologise and do not wish to contribute to making this a worse place for Hibees to come."We know the people who have invested so far are simple fans." Vladimir Romanov - Scotsman 10th December 2012

Petrie got called petrie.
Farmer got called farmer.
Dempster gets called dempster.

For me the best times supporting Hibs have been after we have been relegated so I don't really see what this worry is all about. All this challenging for second or third lark is way too stressful for something that is supposed to be a fun and enjoyable part of your life. I miss the doughrings at East End Park...

We'll struggle to all be in after 5 mins anyway once a near sell out gets near the turnstiles.
