I think it was John Collins choice.

Love it

Nah his song of choice was some p*sh by simple minds. Truly awful it was too.

We couldn't hear anything that was said last night, mainly down to the crowd noise but then we do struggle to hear the announcer at the best of times! It took me a while to figure out it was Kevin Thomson on the pitch at half time last night.

Thanks for letting me know who it was - I had no idea!

**Sir David Gray** · 23-02-2017 06:52 PM

The sound system in the east stand is still hopeless and needs to be looked at urgently.

I couldn't make out anything that was being said.

Enjoyed last night, cheers. I might be in the minority but I'd rather we didn't bother with snide digs over the tannoy. That Scott Wilson guy over the road is absolutely cringe-worthy when he does it and I reckon we should show a bit of class and avoid it. Just my opinion!

Agree with this. Leave the petty digs and point scoring over the tannoy and to the Yams. There is nothing at that club worth copying. Stick to Hibs Class.

**HibernianJK** · 23-02-2017 07:11 PM

One person calling the OP Craig one calling him Barrie. Which is it?

Given he's signed off his post "Barry" I'll go with that. Top bloke who I've had dealings with and one that has helped massively with connecting the fans with the club again. Still cannae hear a word he says in the east right enough!! 😂

**wearethehibs** · 23-02-2017 07:38 PM

Well said John

**percy veer** · 23-02-2017 07:40 PM

A wee blast of hibs hero's would be good

***California-Hibs*** · 23-02-2017 08:01 PM

Keep the digs and banter going! Brilliant stuff and gets everyone pumped up more and more. Couldn't disagree more with folk who say it makes us look 'petty' and is 'Scott Wilson-ish'. It works, and its football!
Also loved the songs coming through loud and clear on periscope after the goals, big fan of them and add to the atmosphere. Free From Desire after the 2nd was magic!

Keep it up fella! 👍

***RyeSloan*** · 23-02-2017 08:16 PM

Absolutely had no idea there was music played after the goals last night...the noise in the East was unbelievable and easily drowned out any tannoy (not saying much in the East right enough)

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 23-02-2017 08:26 PM

one day we shall fully embrace 21st century technology....and get a second speaker installed, twin speakers would be kool

It started in the Mowbray era when we had a squad made up of mostly young players (the Golden Generation), Riordan, Thompson, O'conner, Brown, Whittaker etc.

John Peel expressed a liking for Hibs and Teenage Kicks was one of his favourites so we played it as a tribute to him after he passed away. Also a great tune 😀

As previously suggested, let the fans choose the songs. I'd also stop playing music when we score. Its not cool.

Freed from desire is brilliant after we score

**Callyballybe** · 23-02-2017 09:35 PM

I for one love the sly digs. ****** 'em.

Freed from Desire is a class tune that always gets the crowd going.

**RamYer1902** · 23-02-2017 10:33 PM

Goal music adds to the atmosphere when we score imo.

I still think playing the start of this after a goal would be excellent. The bass would get the ground a-rockin'.

I'm sure someone can think of words to go with it. "Something something something Hibees Goal!"

I hope not!

Personally don't like music being played when a goal gets scored. Just the noise from the crowd is great. However if the announcer wants music then Gala's Freed From Desire tune always gets the crowd rocking.

**Dashing Bob S** · 23-02-2017 10:39 PM

When you watch SOL being sung after the game, the Jambos know they can never match that class and passion. It makes them look like the 9th rate outfit they are.

The songbook crisis is indicative of their deeper malaise.

***G-Reg*** · 23-02-2017 10:46 PM

Thanks for all info on the reasons behind teenage kicks. I've listened to about 5 times tonight after thinking about it

I'd be intrigued to hear how the announcer thinks he contributed to the great atmosphere when large swathes of the stadium sadly can't properly hear a word that's said thanks to the crappy PA.

Really needs to be looked at properly.

Great atmosphere though. A full stadium watching a team humping their city rivals was the main explanation though.

Never really thought we had anything to do but the interaction the engagement is what I was thanking people for.

There has been a lot made about the sound and putting together what the fans wanted and its why i have tried to engage on here to help bridge that gap and to try get what our amazing fans what from the stadium. Wednesday night we had 20,000+ in the stadium and quite rightly it's down to the fans for the atmosphere I agree 100%.

I don't want it any other way which is why the fans groups have helped us as a club put together a format that hopefully is beginning to work in the stadium.

This week we took on board the following: -
1) more hibs songs including the re-introduction of hibs heroes (i track i grew up listening to on my visits to ER).
2) no music as the teams come out pass over to fans as appose to trying to drown.
3) have a bit more fun on derby days without going over the top

There is still improvements to make and we are never going to please absolutely everyone but we can do all we can to find a middle ground and deliver an input and sound for us the fans.

We are aware of the issues with sound but we have put things in place to try balance the sound as a short term measure :).

Keep the sly digs at them coming 👍 We've been missing a trick with them for years and it's refreshing to see. Freed From Desire after the 2nd was superb as well. Loved all the 'Scottish Cup Winners' lines too, brilliant!

**GreenCastle** · 24-02-2017 04:12 PM

Hibee Heros is a classic - should be played every week.

https://youtu.be/fiLAxnD-MTM

Keep the goal music..maybe let the fans make some noise first then play a short segment before announcing scorer.

I still think we should try saying the players last name...you say Grant...fans yell HOLT - often done in German Leagues etc..

See this https://youtu.be/QXROcBwRf2E and https://youtu.be/f-yxaRYfitc

Final issue is still the terrible PA / Tannoy etc - didn't know who or what was said at Half time from the East. The West seems too loud supposedly.

After every win - we should have I'm On My Way (Proclaimers) played too and Altogether now by the Farm

**Danny_Hibee** · 24-02-2017 05:02 PM

I thought 'Come On Over To My Place' was brilliant at the end! Great choice!

I seem to remember it was played around the weekend after John Peel (youngsters ask your dads!) passed away in season 2004/05, it was probably the most iconic song attached to him as a dj and we did like to consider him as one of our own (something to do with Ballboy giving him a Hibs top when they had a session on his show). The song then took on a life of its own as it fitted well with situation we were in at time with largely teenage squad playing the Hibs way.
Anytime I hear it takes me right back to Easter Road.

John Peel was a music legend and all the more special after doing a show wearing a Hibs top . There's a classic photo of him in the hibees top looking at a Gene Vincent album.

Any idea the band that gifted him the top?

Was it not Ballboy?

Yes but I think 'Ed-Hibee' said earlier he played in a band that did a session for John Peel? Unless I misread that?

**Baw187** · 24-02-2017 06:38 PM

Not one for wanting to set myself up for a fall, I thought the digs were risky, as was the exuberant bating of the jambos by the support. But they paid off big time and all contributed to one of (if not the) best nights I've had at ER. And I include Athens and 6-2 in that.

Top drawer Barrie.
