In doing that, you are setting up a potential for yet more division among fans. There's enough of that already.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
We either say "no flags at all" or have a free-for-all, with its possible consequences.
UEFA have chosen the former and, if we're going down the strict liability route, we'll probably have to follow their lead.
I'm all for political expression, and happy to see different factions organising themselves (and yes, in opposition to each other) outside the ground. But, inside it, nobody should feel vulnerable because of their political and social views. It's a fitba match.

I get the point about about not causing divisions but surely Palestinian flags are something most sane people would be supportive of or at least not so actively against.
Anyway I have my opinions as do you, so I’ll leave it there. UEFA have too much money to lose that’s their primary concern

I definitely disagree on you Dnipro kids point, a charity set up to provide aid to an orphanage in Ukraine, its probably more pertinent now than it was when it was set up all those years ago."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

See above.
We know the temptation to have the last word on an internet forum is almost irresistible at times, that’s why the Holy Ground is there for politics.

Glad this was reopened on here and I agree on why it was moved. Knew it would happen with the OP mentioning the flag.
That's just diversion though for what everyone is in unison about within the thread though, the ultra's need looked at by the club. There is a place for them if they weed out those that can't control themselves at a football game.

Anyone who waves a non Hibs flag at a Hibs game for political or any other reason is misguided. It's not the place.

Yeah, I'm not sure that the signs are good for this now.
If I still had tickets for the Family Section in FF Lower, I'd be moving out ASAP.
FWIW, and I realise I've been banging on about this for quite a while, but what you see with these guys is the actual 'Ultras Culture' that's plagued European teams for years. I'm honestly not surprised it's turned out like this.

Things to note - we were promised no large flags during match play. I had to go down and confront block 7 twice before they stopped waving and put them down. Received a few w*nker signals for my trouble
Had a group of girls in front of us who for some reason thought it was funny to throw drinks over the hibs crowd in front of them. Again had to tell them to stop .
The singing repitoire is boring and irrelevant .
Quite fancied standing but not in that environment. They really need to manage this section very carefully going forward .

One of the problems with Ultra groups is their MO is to not do what they are told, they do what they want. This is why you see pretty much nothing but selfish behaviour from them. They really started making me want to stop going to away games this season but then Hibs started announcing where they'd be sitting and I started buying tickets well away from them. The behaviour last night was directly linked to Hibs statement, the IRA songs were more prevalent, throwing items at opposition players the mini pitch invasion when we scored. All things we expect other teams supporters to stop when they are in Easter Road emanated from Block7 last night. They see themselves are rebels, wearing their own colours, singing their own songs and disrupting things for fellow fans around them, they are not Hibs supporters they support their own group. I am dreading the game at Ibrox at the end of the month because you just know their behaviour there will be way out of control, they will give the huns and the media a huge stick to beat Hibs and the Hibs support with and believe me, they will use it with glee.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Their alleged actions last night is making Hibs look very very silly. There needs to be action from the club or it looks even worse. We're already out on our own limb it would appear!
