Irvine Welsh on Hibs TV - Hibs cleared by SFA

[Amo6591]

No being funny but how rubbish a club are you when you need to get 'celebrity' fans to do your pundrity? As for those comments I've no doubt the club will be Al over them

 

[Johansen]

In fairness it sounds better than listening to Crocker wanting 'retrospective' action.

No it doesn't, what he said about Morelos shows him as the lowest of the low and he should be taken to task for it

 

[Hobjo]

We have fans jailed for singing a song but you think saying a player should be chopped up with a machete is ok...what fuckin hope have we got?
You need to have a good look yourself

i don’t think the first one is right. That means i’m not a hypocrite

don’t you though?

 

[Martin paterson]

Horrible thing to say and probably a marked man now from a few nutjobs, &@ck him

 

[DelPiero]

So far he has said

"Morelos should be chopped up with a machete and sent to all corners of the globe"

He referred to us as "The Current Buns"

and he has just said "a great thing about closed doors football is no away fans, not needing to listen to that sectarian nonsense"

Shocking stuff.

If it’s true then it’s beyond a disgrace.

Swap the subject of those comments from Morelos to Neil Lennon and there would be all hell to pay.

Look at the outcry against Alfie With the throat gesture that the games finished.

 

[1690]

He’s like the writer version of Griffiths, if he didn’t have one particular talent he’d be squatting right now under a ratty blanket outside the Leith Tesco.

 

[blueballs]

i officially don’t care what Irvine Welsh says about literally anything. I don’t like people who pretend to be offended and i don’t like the idea that words are treated the same as actual violence and actual crime. Someone even brought BLM into it, thereby invoking racism, shouting “Full House” and winning tonights’s bingo

Fcuks sales mate, take a breath and just think for a second why the majority think this outrageous.

I kind of get some of what you're saying; I'm no fussed about Irvine Welsh, or any other non-Rangers person to be honest. I read plenty on social media and it registers not a jot...

....but this is someone (doesn't actually matter who) on Hibs official TV. No some crappy Twitter or whatever. There club channel.

Just for a second, imagine if RTV was full pelt and any one of our pundits said anything remotely like this....guarantee there would be outrage.

I am offended, genuinely offended, that an official platform broadcast this drivel. I'm not normally bothered, and it's of course fine for you not to be, but don't arbitrate on the right for others to call this out.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

I give a %^*& what they say, he's a scumbag and should be highlighted as such

So do I.

These people hate us, and what we stand for.

 

[Southernlion]

Why is anyone on here watching Hibs TV?

Someone who knows only one Hibs supporter,him, describes a Hibs supporter as a Celtic supporter without hope

 

[Lord Summerisle]

Surely the police need become involved in this.

 

[deedle]

He‘ll think he can get away with it because of his name and he’s probably right.

 

[GF1]

If that sort of output is on an official club media platform, wether it be tv, the match programme etc, surely the club can face an official sanction?

Yes. Surely. He is employed in an official capacity so acting on behalf of the club.

 

[vinnie]

ok and if some Rangers celeb fan pitched up on RTV and said the same what would you say?

“Obviously OTT for effect by well known OTT controversialist” or would you be wasting polis time on Twitter?

I expect a higher standard from Rangers, I don’t expect something so blatant and lacking in guile.

If there is a standard of decency to be maintained then everyone should be held to the same standard. People can’t get away with things just because they’re an insignificant club. They wouldn’t allow us to get away with it.

 

[Blue114]

His maw sells Edinburgh rock...prick

 

[Shota]

Anyone got video proof?

 

[SDF91]

Wouldn’t mind seeing a statement from the club asking Hibs to clarify the comments made by Welsh. Make an issue of this and force the media to pick it up because I can’t see them doing so otherwise.

 

[Coza]

If Robert Carlyle (well known rangers fan) was on RTV and said;

‘scott brown should be chopped up with. Machete and sent to every corner of the globe’

‘The crash barriers’

‘I’m happy I don’t have to listen to that sectarian pro ira singing all night’

Front page news for sure.

Erm, anyone sick of the disgusting, racist abuse that one of our players has repeatedly faced in Scotland?

You not bothered by a comment like that?

 

[jweebear]

The club should report Hivs TV.

 

[dentalbear]

Notwithstanding that he’s clearly a cnut, this is part of the problem with Scottish football.

RTV have gone out our way to get quality co-commentators and studio guests to make the product entertaining and informative.

Hibs TV have some jakey author who’s first language is leith Ned.

 

[Bluetou]

Anyone got video proof?

This ! Without any proof we are howling at the moon !

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

If Robert Carlyle (well known Rangers fan) was on RTV and said;

‘scott brown should be chopped up with. Machete and sent to every corner of the globe’

‘The crash barriers’

100% Coza.

Ido

 

[Arkanoid]

Brings back the fear of a stint living in Edinburgh, detestable set of football supporters to live and work amongst

 

[Deckard]

Any footage emerged of this yet? Disgraceful.

 

[Juanito2]

It's a cultural cold war. They seek to delegitimize us and push the envelope in every interaction when they can and we should push it back. Every yard of turf we can advance by nipping Rangers haters in the bud and promoting our own kind..we should take it. Even if it's the smallest of yards..it all adds up.

I don't even give a monkeys about the rights and wrongs of it. This is war and we should be taking any chances. As many tims and the republicans we can get sacked the better. Narrow the bounds of what they can get away.

 

[Davie86]

You need to have a good look yourself

My thoughts exactly . It's not so much what he's said that offending or annoying people , it's the fact that you can bet yer arse if it was us or anything to do with us then most of the filth And media scum in this country would be up in arms spewing over it until action was taken.

 

[Shota]

If this is proven to be correct, the club should be dealing the hardest hit they’ve ever dealt.

Murray never backed us but I expect this current board to do so.

 

[Rfc111]

A Hibs podcast on Twitter has confirmed that he said it, so I assume it won't be long until we get a clip of it.

Scum

 

[Mustang mad]

5 pages, has anyone bothered to contact plod? Does anyone have a clip of him saying these things that could be sent to plod and The press?

 

[Rbmckie3]

[paisleyblue8811]

Ffs he should be facing charges and the club should make a grovelling applogy.

 

[Gman83]

Hardly a surprise if you've ever read his books he fuckin despises us

 

[KGer29]

There’s one thing hating Rangers and making comments, that’s absolutely fine.

But this is a step too far. It’s disgusting hate speech.

 

[douzpwa]

In fairness it sounds better than listening to Crocker wanting 'retrospective' action.

Morelos being chopped up sounds better? Ffs!

 

[Artful Dodger]

Irvine Welsh is such a wanker.

Seen this little bald prick in queen at station one Saturday afternoon.Wish I had stuck one on the cu*t.And your books are pish you junkie wretch

 

[Shamrock hand and crown]

Any Rangers supporter who thinks this is acceptable needs to have a long, hard look at himself.

 

[bpfurian]

Horrible wee bitter tramp.

 

[Roger Daltrey]

Get him called out, and well done for highlighting op. If someone on rangers tv came out with the equivalent we'd never hear the end of it .

Who says people are pretending? Dont you think it was a vile thing to say?

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Any videos of this?

 

[SouthCoastLoyal]

Could this not be classed as 'stirring up hate' under the SNP's new law?

 

[GimmeShelter]

So far he has said

"Morelos should be chopped up with a machete and sent to all corners of the globe"

He referred to us as "The Current Buns"

and he has just said "a great thing about closed doors football is no away fans, not needing to listen to that sectarian nonsense"

Shocking stuff.

Daily update today stated that our media team would be all over stuff like this.

Glad we finally have people working for the club who will follow this up.

 

[EH47]

Fat baldy wank, that's all.

 

[BlueBearette]

Get the footage sent to Rangers this is terrible what Alfredo has to put up with

 

[Robert Marshall]

Has anyone got actual proof of this?
