The People's Chimp Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 What is this mass psychosis within the Hibs support all about? You know the one where they shout HANDBALL every time a ball goes anywhere near a Hearts player's chest or upper body generally. I think there were about 5 or 6 shouts yesterday and it's been the same for a while now. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeno Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Sheer desperation. They know they can't beat us and are looking for an salvation available, and probably to further the cheating yam/establishment club narrative in their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabienleclerq Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We need to start chanting it every time a Hearts player touches it after they scream it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Tbf i screamed for a pen everytime a player got tackled/fell over in the box Just something about derbies We all make silly calls on occasion and get the odd beamer. This is different though. It is every single one of them screaming HANDBALL in unison. Pure desperation. Weirdos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aam025 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I noticed this too - they really are a strange bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fxxx the SPFL Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 We need to start chanting it every time a Hearts player touches it after they scream it. Yep you hear this quite regularly in the English Prem it actually sounds quite funny. Hobbits shout for handball then next pass hits Hearts player on leg the shout from the Jambos goes up 'handball' then Hearts player passes ball we shout 'handball' again flipping brilliant.

Which might explain why they got a penalty when the ball hit Jordan McGhee on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudiboy Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Just before half time when Hibs were awarded a free kick inside their own penalty box for handball, it was a handball against a Hibs player and not Carrick like the ref thought. Could have been 3.-0 before HT, that would have been sweet!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neave Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 On a similar note, I'm loving the "HOOOOOOOFFFF!" we shout every time they lump it forward. Every time and it doesn't get old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrific bantz. On a similar note, I'm loving the "HOOOOOOOFFFF!" we shout every time they lump it forward. Every time and it doesn't get old. This on the other hand was excellent.

Snedescu Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Liam Craig's handball as mentioned previously was the most blatent of the game. If it had went to 3-0 before half time, it could really have been a rout ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It's not just a Hibs phenomenon. I've noticed that increasingly there is a big "handball" shout whenever a ball is blocked by any part of the body above the knee and below the neck. It is probably counterproductive as it just means refs are inclined to ignore handball shouts. (Obviously not in the case of the ugly sisters of course).

Could have been 3.-0 before HT, that would have been sweet!! Your correct it hit Liam Craig on the arm but I think the foul was given against carrick for High feet which was a joke as is foot wasn't anywhere near high!!!!! Ref bottled giving us a penalty.

Bunny Munro Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 To be fair both teams should have had a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queensferryjambo Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 To be fair both teams should have had a penalty. No they shouldn't if you are referring to Jamie MacDonald pushing Cummings over - the ref watched Cummings push and back into MacDonald 2 or 3 times before he blew the whistle and stopped the corner being taken to give Cummings a warning. Cummings then pushed MacDonald another 2 times prior to the corner being taken even after the ref warns him. Hardly any of this is caught on TV as the camera keeps flitting from player to player. When the corner was taken he instantly backed into MacDonald who pushed him and as expected Cummings lifted his feet and fell flat on his face. The ref saw exactly what was going on and saw it for exactly what it was - a player fouling the keeper expecting to be shoved then diving to the deck. Cummings hardly even makes an effort to claim for a penalty because he knows himself he just kicked up his feet and fell like a sack of tatties.

Couldn't believe how much they appealed for against us recently. And then the booing and whistling of the ref when any decision goes against them is unreal as well. Almost ugly sister-esque!
