[Seven Tattoos]

Boys - I wisnae there yesterday and, having spent most Saturday afternoons from August 2003 - November 2004, berating Colin Murdock for his utter ineptitude I'm not best placed to criticise another Hibbie for berating a player they feel (rightly or wrongly) is not worth a place in the team.

While I accept your point that we're called supporters because we're meant to support the team I think it should be remembered that the paying customer is entitled to his or her opinion and that sometimes people deem it appropriate to vocalise their disappointment with certain individuals.

I remember years ago (Sat 4.9.93) at Rugby Park Hammy was brought on and ma Dad's mate commented on the fact that he was rubbish (which he certainly phuckin was) and a group of blokes, maybe a couple of years older than myself, told him to 'shut up'. Neil (ma Dad's pal) was quite a big bloke and just stood his ground and said 'shut up yourself'.

We're all entitled to our opinions and if there is one thing this site demonstrates then it is the simple fact that many of us view Hibernian FC, and football and life in general differently. Why should someone feel compelled to keep their views to themselves just in case someone else disagrees?

I really feel this problem has become worse in recent years since the implementation of the Taylor Report. In the old days of the terracing if someone was spouting opinions and abuse that you thought were wrong you could wander over to a different spot. Now you're stuck.

Dinnae forget these berating bams spend good money cheering the Hibs as well.
