The more Mercer songs the better. The man was a complete **** who had he got his way we would’ve been wiped out as a club.

I'm a huge fan of the singing section - they do a brilliant job and I bet a lot of other club supporters (Hearts) wish they had ones like our lot.
The song book has been brilliant over recent years, but admittedly can't buy into the current Mercer one. Lets sing about our club or rivals in general rather than dead men.

Given the singing section are representing Hibs fans in general, and this one is so divisive, probably makes sense to drop it?

The Ryan Porteous song is even less appropriate, but brilliant none the less.

There is a certain irony in the fact that it took the actions of Wallace Mercer and his desire to eliminate Hibs from the footballing map to ultimately ensure that this club will never again fall into the hands of charlatans or speculators in the manner it had in the late 1980s and was the catalyst for the emergence of as reliable and steady a majority shareholder as there is in the Scottish footballing world.
That is not to say Mercer is to be thanked for where we find Hibernian today, but equally the humility and compassion that form just two of the traits that this club was founded upon mean that I will never revel in his death or suffering. Hibs survived and got stronger; much stronger and continue to do so to this day. That is enough for me and it should be enough for those who sing these songs too.

Without defending the song , it’s composition was hilarious, you probably had to be there to understand why something in such bad taste was so funny.Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

I’m not going to read through 136 posts to find out what the debate is but my opinion is that the singing section have really added to the atmosphere at Easter Road and when section 43 also get involved, it’s great. I sit in the West Lower and those sections really improve the experience for me.
Some songs are keek but who cares!

I think we need a song book thread. The more widely known the lyrics for song are then obviously the more Hibees can join in and improve that atmosphere

Would have been dead if not for the singing section.
Nervy energy but then it was broken when the boy behind mes phone went off clear as day and he was able to have a chat with his Mrs as if he was at the bloody snooker.
Didn't help it masel likes just saying

My tuppence worth: Blackpool and Bunberry appear to have the same opinion of mercer as I do, and I fully endorse celebrating the horrible ***** demise.
FYI-I watched my mother die of cancer. It's a horrible disease that can strike anybody. Tragically it more often than not affects the good people we know and care about.
BUT that doesn't mean that everyone it does kill retrospectively should be given a halo.
Mercer was/is/and always will be a horrible **** in my opinion - regardless of what he died of.
Back on topic: the guys/gals in the signing section have my backing.
Though from my position in the East (back row, half way line) I can barely hear or see them in their wee corner.

It wasn't that long ago we only sung Hibees Hibees Hibees and Hail Hail.
The number of songs these guys have brought to the party in the past few years has been tremendous.
Some of them are clearly talented whether it be the actual song writing or composition , rythm or just sheer humour .
Remember at the PBS when we sung Hibs Hibs whoa Hibs Hibs for about 15 minutes solid ? No way that would have happened without them .
I personally think they are tremendous and must be the envy of other clubs fans.
I'm also not keen on the cancer references either but completely understand the hatred towards mercer although puzzled how anyone shy of 40 something could understand that feeling.
Keep up the great work guys .
That Hibs in Europe song is also tremendous .
It doesn't even sound like it should fit but it does brilliantly .
The Bartley song too :-) Take a bow whoever came up with that . It's bloody brilliant.

I thought the East Stand were very noisy at times. I actually prefer their singing, as the stand around them (and some in other stands) actually join in.
The FF Singing Section can be very good, but they often seem very isolated and unconnected to the rest of the stands.
