    Hibbes Bounce & Hibs Casuals Referenced in EEN Nazi Article

    Anyone read this?

    http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.co...azis-1-4170459

    Seems very odd that Hibs, Hibs casuals and the Bounce have been mentioned as having connections to the Nazi National Action group and the stickers that have appeared around Leith. I don't use the Bounce but had a quick scan and can't see any evidence of it. Not living in Leith any more and not been back since the cup final weekend, are there a lot of these stickers appearing?

    Its a very strange article.

    He jumps from the holocaust to stickers to blaming tattoo artists and Hibs fans with no link between them or evidence of anything. Bizarre.

    A really strange article as a regular reader on both Hibs.net and the bounce Iv never seen any postings supporting any thing nazi or seen any of the stickers about leith, Iv seen a few anti nazi ones on lamppost and on walls but not seen any pro nazi ones.

    The Admin team over there will find this whole sticker thing totally abhorrent. If a few bams have made posts on there supporting this (and I doubt it) I'd wager they have been put firmly in their place as well.
    A strange article.

    WTF. Is this a jambo at the wind up? Hope the bounce take legal action on this. Knowing a lot of Bounce admins personally this article could not be more wrong.

    How did that get past the editors! Surely the bounce have a claim for legal action here! Disgusting article.

    A quick google search suggests the author of the article is a Hibs fan.

    Gerry has a longstanding relationship with Leith and has always struck me as quite sensible for a creative type.

    However, this article appears to have been written by someone heavily under the influence.

    Reading the rest of the article it seems that someone at the EEN decided that it was time to replace John Gibson's pish with someone elses.

    He jumps from Josef Mengele to lampposts in Leith in the space of 2 sentences.

    Fairly obviously harbours some deeper issues that I hope he recovers the appropriate help with, starting with a lawsuit from Hibees Bounce

    Strange article.

    I have a look on the Bounce often and have never encountered any neo Nazi stuff on there. I don't for a second believe they would tolerate it any more than we would on here.

    That's a very oddly written piece.

    I wonder if he's actually been on the Bounce and saw any of the stuff he's claiming is on there, or knows of any Leith tattooists who are doing swastikas for the racists he's on about.

    Didn't Gerry run the Leith Agency who did the Irn Bru Snowman ad a few years back?

    Saw him being interviewed the other day about something. Wasn't about this.

    Suppose the thing with columnists these days is to make it as sensational as you can (Katie Hopkins springs to mind) but there's a difference between sensationalist and false.

    Baffling article to say the least!

    Someone from the bounce must have nicked his girlfriend or punched him on a night out

    If they didn't I am sure it can be arranged!

    What a walloper.

    I'm a regular Bounce poster, know loads of folk on there, along with most of the admins.

    I've never,ever seen anything even close to neo nazism and if any website is directly opposed to such a thing, it's the Bounce.

    Cannae speak for admins over there, but I'd consider taking this to a lawyer.

    What a strange, random accusation.

    Simply outrageous. The Bounce should look into this immediately and possibly take legal action. Shocking.

    That is the most bizarre thing I have read since I was personally blamed for the Darien scheme by a bitter English nationalist. And just as accurate.

    How the £%&&& did that get published?

    That's what I was wondering

    No evidence of any of the claims - crazy stuff. It's closer to a drunken rant than an article

    The EEN is getting as bad as the west coast rags

    Had a quick look on the HibeeBounce and, quite rightly so, they are not happy

    That guy's been writing complete and utter pish for a while in the EEN as if he was some sort of Leith guru but this tops it by a mile. Utterly bizarre.

    I think the Bounce need to respond to this quickly and robustly.

    An astonishing article ... I don't visit 'the bounce' very much, but I cant ever remember seeing any post supporting racist or Neo Nazi sympathies. I would imagine anybody doing so on the bounce or here would get booted fairly swiftly and rightly so. If anything it was always my impression that the Hibs support tended to swing more to the left than right.

    This article is trying to connect Hibs supporters with what he sees as active Neo Nazi activity around Leith ..... The bounce admins should be in touch with the EEN forthwith and ask that they come up with evidence to support the claim made in the article about their forum and if they cant demand that they produce an apology in the paper and not one buried in a paragraph on page 25 either.

    The general public tend to lap up anti football fan stuff and believe it without question .... in view of that I don't think anything done by the bounce or our support in general to refute this ridiculous slur could be deemed an over reaction.

    I'm as confused by this as everyone else. How do you make a link of neo nazi stickers to Hibs casuals let alone the Bounce? I gather they have contacted the EEN already, has anyone else done so to challenge their story?
