During the match the singing section starting singing that dreadful song. “Wallace Mercer’s dead”, load of Sh*t if I’m honest with you. When the team are 2-0 down do you not thing we should be trying out best to motivate the lads? I suggest whenever we sing that song we try our best to drown it out with a proper Hibs song that’s surely better than that P*sh. We are currently playing sh*t so we should sing songs about HIBS and not Wallace Mercer.

Stop this Mercer P*sh

It’s not a song sung much at Easter Road - more reserved for boozy away days and pretty much exclusive to a small percentage of the support. Not condoning it, but not as big an issue as it’s made out. There will have been more posts complaining about it on Hibs.net than individuals joining in with the song. Doubt we’ll hear it tonight.

If you sing songs that fans of all other football teams would regard as unacceptable , you lose your right to criticise sectarian/racist ***** from the OF/Hearts etc.
Just cause it's Hibs doesn't mean it's fine.

It's a disgusting song and wholly inappropriate.

EDIT: "More offensive" probably would've been better than "worse".Last edited by SRHibs; 05-12-2018 at 05:49 PM.

The best thing we can do as a support is no mention the guy who tried to destroy us, make him a footnote in the history of Hibs, by continuing to sing about him we increase his renown. Mercer is a minor character in history who tried his best to wipe us off the face of the earth and he failed he should be forgotten about not sung about. I didn't hear it on Saturday but do hear it more away than at ER. Singing about him is no way equitable to racism or sectarianism though.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Don't personally believe it's worse than bigotry & racism, but do agree that it's utterly, utterly pathetic.
I was around at the time, vile man, but we should be better than this.

Both have no place in football, and the line between the two is nowhere near as big as you’re making out. If it helps to satisfy your conscience when joining in then bash on.. but it’s the same level of pathetic excuse that old firm fans would come up with for joining in with the “atmosphere”.
