    When Hearts held a minutes silence for Mercer at a derby in 2006, If memory serves me correctly, we didnt boo or sing through it. We were well behaved.

    Some (like me) turned their back to the pitch but remained quiet. For
    Me that’s fair enough for a guy who tried to end Hibs.

    Never a like for like with Gordon
    I turned my back and held up an old Hands Off Hibs T shirt. Others stood silent and others sang Hibs songs throughout or booed. Iirc the Hibs players didn't join in the applause and instead stood with their arms around each other.

    It was an emotive situation and people reacted as they felt. There was a direct attack on us from Mercer that didn't exist with RG and Rangers and that shouldn't be totally forgotten.

    In saying all that if this is the moment the Mercer song is retired for good then it can only be a good thing. It's had it's day and needs put to bed.

    There will be The Rangers fans at ER and I think we will likely go for an applause rather than silence.

    I haven’t bought a season ticket yet, but I can 100% guarantee I will if this happens. Hun *****.

    I'm absolutely sick and tired of what the **** that follow The Rangers are continually allowed to get away with against our club, and our supporters... to complete silence from our Club.

    This time they've surely crossed a line and the club need to show the level of displeasure, and the lack of trust in them to actually show some respect at our next home game, by banning them completely.


    p.s. I said this in another thread but want to repeat it here...

    If the club want to start a fund to raise money to make up for any unsold tickets, I pledge to donate £500
    They're **** but take their money and hope we shut them up with a win - the best possible response to it.

    Whack their tickets up to £50 a pop. If they go a couple of games with no sectarian chanting then it can be reduced back down to standard.

    Hard lines on those who don’t partake in such bile? Ultimately it’s the overwhelming vast majority so very few could claim to be hard done by.

    Here’s the video of the ****.

    40 seconds into the video. It’s actually quite upsetting how loud they were. Absolutely disgrace

    Hibs will do nought, zilcho, sweet fck all and a big fat zero as that's what they always do when asked by supporters to face down either of the evil twins.

    It wasn’t cut short. See the video above. Billy boys is at its loudest when the camera zooms in on Ron’s face.

    We got a 40 second silence. The ref blew the whistle early to cut short the embarrassment if you watch it again.

    …Which is about 30 seconds after the players started applauding. The ref pew the whistle shortly after so it definitely WAS cut short.

    It wasn't a silence though. It was an applause. I couldn't get the clip to show me elapsed time when the ref whistled but it seemed less than a minute given the duration of the clip (1'14?).

    Edit - sorry, I'm sure silence was not what you meant.

    Yes of course, stupid of me to say a silence it it WAS 40 seconds applause not 1 minute, I’ve timed it.

    Chief, I tried to edit my post to add that I knew full well you didn't mean silence and apologise for that, but I got kicked out. Honest!

    Beale was lauded a few weeks back by a sycophantic Scottish media after his direction to his players to allow Partick to score an uncontested goal.

    He was “upholding the standards of the club and what they stand for” by doing so. By that token, we should be hearing a strongly worded statement from him very soon condemning his supporters behaviour and offering a sincere apology.

    Mind you, when said clubs “standards” are over a centuary of hate-filled sectarianism, bile and bigotry, then he may feel there is nothing to apologise for.

    Forget all that, everyone back to as you were.

    Ban them, I’d rather have an empty South stand than listen to their bile.

    Win on Saturday and we could fill ER full of Hibees for the 8th.

    I don’t quite understand it. If you behaved like that in normal day to day life, you’d lose your job, more than likely get very strong words if not more, and worse if you were to use a public funeral, moment of reflection, or similar to cause upset.

    That it’s apparently gone unchallenged but even happened at all just isn’t something a functioning human does.

    Absolutely baffles me.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    I’d give them 900 tickets like we get at their ****hole and hire 900 stewards for their section, or request riot polis for them. Ring of steel style escort for their fans from the second they get off their buses or trains, truncheon use encouraged.

    Its the ****my nature of football where cowards get to act all hard and bloodthirsty from the comfort of their seats knowing they would run away if confronted with any real trouble. Cocaine is the ******s drug and it seems like all these little tits are on it.

    Ron Gordon was a classy gentleman something a large amount of the idiots in Scottish society don't have the wits or discipline to ever come close to being. No one has a problem the size of the imperial poodles at Ibrox however. A bunch of backward rednecks who are so anti social they are now devoid of shame. They can't self police themselves as the majority of them are utter **** and resemble the worst in cult like thinking. Not that the media will ever go after them as its suits them to be like that and has been since the first lapdog was whipped into shape by their imperial masters in the days of yore.

    Ban them like we should have done many moons ago. If it means we miss out on a player or two then so be it.

    They should be allocated 360 tickets if they are to be allowed. It would be the same percentage of tickets we are entitled too at their dump (1.8%)

    Don't want them here or their dole money.

    Cocaine is a hell of a drug, it’s the most confident you’ll ever feel, to the point you’d swear you could battle 10 men and come out without a scratch. Which is fine if you’re no a pure fanny that’ll be emboldened to do **** like this, or throw bottles, or run on the park to assault players. I’m all for “everything in moderation” etc if that’s what you want to do, but imagine it was (even) more readily available than it is now, every Friday and Saturday would be absolute chaos up and down the country cos ********s wouldn’t ken when to hud their water, or just no do something. It’s a shame but there’s no way we could follow the lead of the likes of Portugal and decriminalise all drugs and assist addicts rather than lock them up, just too many bams that’d cause other kinds of bother unfortunately.

    Unfortunately their antics do not come as a surprise. Lowest of the low. I would happily pay for a south stand ticket when their supposed to slither to ER, anything to keep them out.

    The self policing point above is an interesting one.

    How did Hibs fans manage to self police the rebel songs out of ER? You'll still hear the odd one in a pub or on a bus but if it happened at a game it would be shouted down quick sharp. Hearts fans self policed the 'Hibees are gay' stuff out of Tynecastle and they could claim with something resembling a straight face that sectarianism is a minority issue there too.

    I keep hearing about this majority of decent Rangers fans. If they exist why don't they do something about this *****? It seems the majority of them being decent is a myth or that so called decent majority would rather sit on their hands and give tacit approval to ****bags singing the Billy Boys because it's easier than being brave and saying 'this isn't on anymore'.

    My opinion is, the rebel chants at hibs were never installed at a young age. It's something you picked (pick up) on as a teen going to the games with your mates to act cool

    Probably the same with the Gorgie mob and hibees are gay "chant"

    The alarming thing is this, love the queen/king, fly union Jack's, rule brittania, ulster pish is a way of life for them. Their tops, their mugs, their lack of toilet roll possibly. So they grow into it and use it as an identity, I've never understood when today for example they score to make it 2-1 their fans automatically sing derry's walls to encourage players. How on gods earth would that even be the slightest bit of encouragement.

    Enough is enough. Ban them. We don't want or need them and Ron wanted Easter Road to be a top family experience. I wouldn't take my daughters (when old enough) to see either rangers or celtic at Easter Road.
