Top 10 most hated Hibs Players.

[davemclaren]

When I was a kid Eric Stevenson used to stay with his family in the council house two doors up from us. Peter Marinello once came to visit which was the biggest excitement in the street since Addie Rae ( Gordon Rae's dad ) came back home after winning the Junior Cup with Dunbar.  
 

Eric seemed a nice guy. 😎

He's hilarious. 

 

Point and laugh, by all means, but hatred would seem cruel to me. 

 

A feckin court jester of a Hibby.

His playing career didn’t warrant hatred it’s just the utter pish he spouts in the paper that makes him seem more relevant than he ever was on the pitch.

Nah McAnus is just sheer comedy value, watching him go from delusional levels of positivity to full on post-mortem trying to decipher what went wrong every season will always be a right laugh

[AC Mallin_51]

Dono about top 10 but off my head

 

O’Connor

Riordan

Cummings

Brown

Griffiths

would’ve added Porteous but unlike the others I think he could potentially become less of a welt now he’s away from Hibs whereas the others have been Aholes everywhere they’ve been. Time will tell though 

[a11ank]

Not sure about hating any of them.

 

I dislike every single one of them, and only levels of intensity vary

 

How can anyone 'hate' Zibby for instance......

[kingantti1874]

Surprised No mention for Anthony stokes.
 

this for me many the reaction and  emotion that comes to mind is laughter and pity , not hate.

Ian Murray is a good guy now

Weird that because he still acted like a complete bitter knob in his interview after Raith lost on Saturday. Even the pundits were laughing at him.

That's a big compliment to Gareth Evans. A part of the squad we achieved 22 in a row against and don't recall him causing us many problems.

No mention of Graham Stack yet? Has to be in there surely.

Riorden - rat faced racist ned

 

O’Connor - total waster

 

Griffiths - sexual deviant, ned, racist, had the world at his feet after the 2 free kicks v England & chucked it away

 

Stokes - terrorist sympathiser & such a bellend that even Neil Lennon washed his hands of him

 

Ian Murray - typical hibs roaster, ned 

scum

 

Liam Craig - shite player, diver & constantly greeting at the ref, some penalty taker but 😂👀

 

Bartley - threatens women, fingers other players in the arse

 

Scott Brown - the pricks prick, invisible to refs & the biggest plastic hard man there is

 

Porteous - plastic hard man & ned, loves to feign head knocks

 

Sproule - diving cheating wank, thug stamp on Pressley (thanks again for the man advantage you clown)

A stalwart of the 4-0 and 5-1 Hampden humping! Gotta love him.

We did give him some stick back in the day. Ex Dons hero was going to be the next Hibs superstar. Reputation was better than the player they got. All together now -

 

Hibs spent a barrel of money

Harpers as fat as he's funny

Thick as a plank

The nicest thing that I can say about McAnus is that I don't even remember him playing for Hibs. 

 

A total non-entity of a player who somehow has picked up a media career spewing absolute shite that contradicts basic logic and often contradicts itself.  He lives in a fantasy land where he is the main character and believes that Hibs are like Barcelona.

[Mikey1874]

Hard to hate them when you are laughing so much.

 

Pity perhaps.

[The Old Tolbooth]

I don't hate Hibs players for being good against us, I kind of grudgingly respect that to be honest, that's why I don't get the hatred for McGinn, he's a cracking wee player who should have played for Hearts if Bob wasn't such a dick. 

 

For non footballing reasons, I'd go this lot because they're proper verminous little rats, 

 

Riordan

O'Connor

Thumb

Dean Shiels

Scott Brown (although much more for Celtic)

 

For footballing reasons, just guys I didn't like on the park who thought they were something brilliant but were utter pish. 

 

Ian Murray (remember that scoreline he had as a haircut ffs ) 

Willie Miller (little neddy defender they had in the early 90's who was a hatchet man) 

George McClusky (Souness ended him when he came to Scotland with a perfectly fair challenge, horrible wee ned)

Mickey Weir (proper little wind up merchant who I hated back in the day)

Sproule (all bark and no trousers this one, speedy little wind up merchant who loved a dive and a stamp, but had absolutely zero end product, no doubt makes him a legend down that way )

Joe Newell (absolute arse of a man and a shite footballer to boot, thinks he's some sort of hard man though)

McPake (horrible little weasly grass of a player, almost made it onto the top list but he's not relevant enough) 

Porteous (cheating little scrote, but he's actually doing well for himself away from the vermin, he hasn't stopped cheating though)

 

I'm sure there's quite a few I've missed but these will do for now  

 

 

[Gordon_1874]

From their current team it has to be Newell for me. Spends most of the game fouling people and is absolutely guff.

My dad used to drink in the Old Coach Inn (Twissys) in Canonmills and best mates with Peter Cormack's Father in Law a guy called Lotty Robertson. Himself a real real WW11 hero. Anyway when PC went down to Liverpool in the 70’s England players couldn’t give the home international tickets away therefore The old coach Inn was awash with Scotland v England tickets for Wembley. People like Kevin Keegan giving PC tickets because the English wouldn’t go. So still have a soft spot for PC. Incidentally the pub was run by Peter Marinellos dad and uncle

In no real order.

Rankin for his blatant dive in the Obua thats gangster derby (I think)

Honorable mention for Mcpake. I just can't hate him after making Rudi's day on 19/05/12 so so easy

 

Could probably go on all day tbf. Hibs *****

I did not like Pat Stanton simply because he always seemed to play well against us.  A thorn in our sides especially that goal he scored in about the 98th minute.

 

Hate is something that I cannot understand.

 

 

 

 

 

This. Hatred adds nothing to football.

 

I'd rather have a thread about 10 most annoying Hibs players.

 

Pat Stanton's goal was 1 November 1975. A pity, because Ralph Callachan had scored a beauty.

I have a top 10 hated Rangers or Celtic players list, that could easily be expanded to top 50, but with Hibs it’s a top 10 comedy value list. 

[JamboAndrew]

It's hard to hate them as reality always catches up with them and it's funny.

Riorden had an insane amount of talent. Look what he did with it.

Gary O'fat bustard had all the parts to be a solid striker for many years. Look what he did with it.

Leogh Griffiths, same as Riorden. But achieved slightly more by virtue of leaving hibs.

Scott Brown was only there a short man and became the person we all despise at Celtic.

After that I'm struggling. The rest are I significant or funny. I can't think of any that annoy me.

 

The two Glasgow arsecheeks though. Good luck getting down to a top 10 shortlist of each.

[pharmaceutical01]

Kenny Miller was a Hibee but for that tackle on McHattie.....

 

Wasn't even sent off for it

Yeah think the fans were mixed that day as well.  I think.  We were in the Georgie Road end and as soon as Stanton hit it we knew it was going to hit the net.  No idea why there was so much extra time other than injuries but sure the fans were raging because it was an excessive amount of time added on.

 

Annoying Hibs players could be a long list so keeping to ten might not be so daft 😀

I'd swap Liam Craig for Porteous but that's a decent hate list.

Bartley is a  horrible bassa with a conviction for threatening woman but he's managed to fool the media into giving him airtime.

I was also at the Gorgie Rd end, quite high up behind the goal, where I often stood if there was a big crowd.

 

The second derby of the Premier League era and a chance to get revenge.

 

A mixed crowd, too. In many ways better than we now have but these days are gone and I quite like my seat with its incomparable Wheatfield view of the pitch.

 

Excessive injury time was really unusual in those days. I think about 5 minutes.

 

Off to my reminiscence group now.

Same here. No room in my head for ‘hatred’ of people I’ve never met and can’t really judge.

 

Ive ‘feared’ some of them but none for a very long time. I’m talking Edwards Cropley Stanton Orourke, that era.

Yep, me too.   DIslike of Hibs in general, but we were generally rubbish when they had very good players like Stanton, Edwards, O'Rourke (and Alan Gordon) etc. 

 

Hate is probably too strong a word imo, but  Scott Brown comes closest.  Effective player, yes, but basically a career based on thuggery.  He gave the game away in an interview after he moved to Celtic, when he was  asked what the biggest difference he found  between playing for Hibs and playing for Celtic  -  "I get away with a  lot more stuff here, that I would have got booked for at Hibs"
