maltese jambo Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 On the contrary, one could argue that it was the Hearts fans who initiated this high-horsery by singing the chant. As a poster previously stated, they wouldn't sing it when he was alive, so why once he's dead? I was a bit confused about the whole situation myself.... Why on earth did our fans start singing his name anyway? Not one of us had even one good word to say about him when he was alive and now.... hypocracy in the extreme?

Chester™ Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 While we are on the subject, if Richard Gordon accused us of booing during the minute, and with it not being us, will he come on here or his sham of a radio show to apologise and set the nation straight?

kennygarland1 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think that it is time to return to a minute's silence to show respect. The minute of applause does not feel right as a mark of respect. Spot on,a minutes applause is a cop out to the odd moron or two who always spoil the minutes silence. On another note,i've spoken to a Hibby mate of mine sitting in the stand behind the goals,he could clearly here the Eddie Thomson chant(he says you can here a pin drop in there:107years:). On the other hand i've spoken to a few Hobos who were in the East and not one of them could make out what we were singing,and i for one believe them because i have been in there(semi against Murderwell) and the noise was deafening,you could'nt here anything coming from the away end. But at the end of the day who gives a flying,we should've won the game and trying to score points on some petty misunderstanding is just making us out to look silly if you ask me.

vilenin Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 No it was not the case and I will be furious if we end up carrying the can for the Hibs fans lack of respect today Commentator on the radio (which was all I could get at work) was pretty clear about 'a small section of Hibs fans disgracing themselves' by booing.

Offering your services there? Seems the Utd fans in the link provided on this thread seem fine with it all. Commentator on the radio (which was all I could get at work) was pretty clear about 'a small section of Hibs fans disgracing themselves' by booing. What station? Guys on here and Utd said Radio Scotland were trying to pin the blame on us. Unless you are Richard Gordon trying to set the record straight...

CalgaryHibs Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I noticed that when the setanta cameras were on Csaba and Werner they werent clapping, anyone know why this is? perhaps this is what ppl were booing at? =============== Yes i saw this as well, Not sure Hibbie s would be booing ET but there are allways a few who make thing bad for the reast of us.

Erik Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 ===============Yes i saw this as well, Not sure Hibbie s would be booing ET but there are allways a few who make thing bad for the reast of us. Even if they didnt clap (which I cant say one way or another whether they did or not as i never saw the minutes applause) - they would be perfectly within their rights to do so. Doing nothing during a minutes applause is not disrespecting it. Boo-ing it is. Perhaps, Csaba and Werner, whom have probably never dealt with ET, chose not to pay respect to someone they never knew anything about. If that was the case, and of course i'm merely speculating, then that would be entirely their perogative. The minutes applause is / was not compulsary.

Mork Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Christ on a bike what a tit. Have you ever observed a minutes applause? If you have you will have noticed that there are always songs sung in tribute to whoever has passed away. You question whether the Hibs support is supposed to listen in to every chant of the Hearts support, well in this instance the answer to that would be yes, before you marr the occasion by booing (doesn't matter what you are booing, you shouldnt boo during something like that, wait till after) you should have listened to what we were actually chanting before you jumped to whatever conclusion you jumped to. Embarassment each and every one of you. That includes your team. Complete joke of a club you really are. I was in the East Stand near the FF end of the ground and I couldnt make out what you were singing so its reasonable to assume that others didnt make it out either. I didnt boo you, I was too busy clapping, but if others did then I can only assume they thought your support was being disrespectful and were booing that. Two wrongs dont make a right etc etc so perhaps the Hibs fans that booed should have done the same as I did and ignored you as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me rephrase. If people made a mistake and thought you were being offensive [1 wrong] and booed [2 wrongs] to counteract it they shouldnt have. I wasnt implying that hearts had been the perpetrators of this wrongdoing, I was implying that Hibs fans may have misinterpreted your intentions and booed accordingly. Again though, I have read posts on this thread from people stating they watched it on santa telly and could clearly hear whats being sung by the hearts fans. Its not quite as clear what opposing fans are singing when you are at the game as you probably well know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said previously some unsavoury behaviour from both sets of fans yesterday,but as usual Hibs fans very keen to take the moral highground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
