    Thank **** for that. **** him and **** all his family as well.
    You’re a complete er$e and as bad as the er$es at Tiny who are happy with Robinson and the right wingers, the clowns at Castle Grey Skull and the soap dodgers at Parkdeed. Jeeezz who wants to decry the dead or their families. Our club weren’t exactly innocent with David Duff in charge. Almost deserved what we almost had.

    I dislike Mercer but confess that I do find it a bit strange still to be singing about him after all this time.

    I agree. I don't really understand why it's relevant to sing anymore, especially if we're playing someone other than Hearts.

    Reminds me of England fans who sing about German bombers. The world has moved on, plenty of ways to show support for the team that might actually galvanise the players. I remember going to the Links after winning the Scottish Cup and seeing a couple of real cretins singing about Mercer, Tommy Burns etc whilst thousands of Hibees young and old were celebrating the best day of their footballing lives. Can't shake that memory every time this is comes up.

    A Hibs fan saying that we deserved to be destroyed by FTB ( Deceased)

    Its an absolute howler of song, folk can sing it if they choose to but personally its not for me. Tarnishes our support imo.

    He was an awful man - hun supporting tax dodging Thatcherite. The protest at the one minutes silence was a fitting tribute from us. Let's leave at that. After all we have Romanov and Budge now.

    Each to their own. I’ve sang the Mercer songs with gusto in the past as an angry reaction to his behavior regarding our club. But it now seems an irrelevance to me. But each to their own, I’m not in business of criticising others Hibs fans who feel they still have spleen to vent against him, but I’m personally over it.

    Wish we could come up with a definitive list of what is morally acceptable and what isn’t. I’ll start:

    ACCEPTABLE

    Not only singing about someone dying of cancer, but revelling in their families pain

    UNACEPTABLE

    Singing about Dean Shiels having 1 eye

    I’m sure the song only came about after he’d died. I also think it’s important to differentiate between the original and the newer songs. One is perfectly acceptable in my book and the other less so.

    The original one was acceptable at the time because it made a valid point that Mercer tried to kill Hibs but Hibs outlived him. It should've been consigned to the history books after a few years. The new one's just crass, I found it quite funny the first time I heard it out in Greece in the sunshine and fuelled by beer, but I was assuming it would be left in Greece.

    So I can't sing about 7-0 or 6-2 since I wasn't alive? Will our kids & grankids not sing about 2016 because oh wait you didn't see it l, away and take your face for a ***** at least I'm no sitting on my hands saying nout

    If your keyboard hardman wideo chat is indicative of the calibre of character singing this Mercer pish then I think I rest my case.

    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.
    The supporters singing that song probably weren't born when Mercer was around .It's a sick song in my opinion

    You’re right in what you say but a quick scroll of the past month will show several threads worth of churlish behaviour relating to far more heartfelt issues than than that worthless sod. It’s far too easy to get emotive in this medium, worse still when you’re unsure of what colour scarf you’re arguing with in the first instance, so some folk need a break.

    65 years a Hibby is never to be sniffed at though and you’re 18 years better off than me. What’s your best Hibs pair of strikers?

    Edit. Scratch that. Joe and Neil is surely good enough for anyone.

    As someone who got into Hibs after the guy died, I just find it faintly bemusing. I understand that it's impossible to forgive him for many fans but there's a way to express that which surely doesn't involve spitting on his grave. The guy had/has a family after all. Not to get overly moralistic but it's the kind of thing I think we all like to think we're above as Hibs fans.

    By which I mean - of all the reasons I have for supporting this club, the fact that it is generally mercifully free from this kind of stuff by the standards of Scottish football, and has its part both in history and in active society against such pish is up there on the list. In a way I don't really give a toss because whilst it was before my generation I can understand the anger and I don't generally make a point of telling other people what they can and can't sing but I'd by lying if I said it really struck me as anything other than faintly cringeworthy and unfortunate when I've heard it against Hearts, let alone against St Mirren.

    Oh dear, not quite. In my defence I was a good bit younger than that when it did happen and it was only later I started following football - not that that's much of a defence...

    Maybe there's humour to be found in death after all - I'd always assumed he died in the 90s somehow. Would like to think the above points still stand, if only because not knowing/noticing when the guy died probably just serves to underline his irrelevance to me and a large section of the younger Hibs support

    Edit: should also clarify that I'm fully aware that a smaller subsection of said younger support know exactly when Wallace Mercer died and are very happy to express so both in the stands, and in the streets a la Francis Begbie - not that I'd contend a causal link, merely the general maxim that s***e tends to come from a*******s

    Inadvertently saved us from destruction

    Let us thank the man

    As for the song itself, we can't continually harp on about the actions of other club's supporters on this forum when we have our own set of knuckle draggers as well.

    Some of the posts on here are honestly embarrassing. Regardless of your views on what the man done, he died of cancer. For me,singing about that is deplorable.
    Do the people sing it think about how his family must feel when they hear that or fellow Hibees who have lost someone to cancer, having to listen to people celebrating a man losing his life to such a horrible disease.
    Time to stop this imo

    Wouldn't wish that horrible disease on anyone, including Mercer. I wouldn't sing about that man at all tbh. He's best consigned to history. Hibernian Football club live on and that's all that matters now.
