Ay oop. Trooble at mill.

[Onceinawhile]

you know the best thing about it?

Extra policing means less money for the charities that the proceeds are being donated to, but these idiots don't care about others as long as they can pavement dance for 20 seconds before the cops split it up. So that they can go home and say things like "Ah stood, ah never ran, am well hard"

[Dashing Bob S]

Why all the fuss about two groups who want to meet miles away from the ground and have a punch-up? Let them get on with it. It doesn't really effect anyone else.

its the aftermath when the locals come back from fighting and are in the local pubs in bolton were there are hibs fans staying overnight which could lead to them picking on innocent fans just out to have a good laugh and a drink

I hate these pathetic gutless yobs who give real fans a bad name. I would be happy for the police to have special dispensation to have a "Tazer fest" with them.

PS: How good a man is JJ to give all his testimonial money away to charity. When you look at all the greedy sods in the game selling their souls at every opportunity, it's fantastic to see that there are still decent men in this game.

Those Eastern European coves have it sussed. Hoolies meet in a field out in the country, fisticuffs ensue and is enjoyed by all on YouTube.

Unless you or your family find yourself in the wrong play at the wrong time. I saw first hand last season - big organised punch up between Chelsea & Spurs - three hours after the match, in a busy high road with lots of innocent people about, familes and frightend youngsters.

It's crazy though isn't it? For god's sake....

I hope you are being ironic.

[Dashing Bob S]

I hope you are being ironic.

I really do think that there are more important things to worry about and more important things to deploy police resources on. This seems like another cop OT feast to me.

the problem is groups of Bolton fans roaming the city centre later at night looking for revenge. It's happened before.

[LancashireHibby]

This (http://archive.thisislancashire.co.uk/2003/2/26/564778.html) is what happens when people get caught in the crossfire. Unless they plan on scrapping in the middle of Winter Hill then innocent bystanders will be caught up. Anyone involved should have a long look at themselves and think of how much money they're costing these charities, not to mention the consequences of their actions. Grow up FFS, and stop dragging the name of our sport, never mind our clubs, through the dirt.

[butterbean]

no 1 can blame the ccs for extra cops being out on show for the game when the bolton news clearly states that smeltic & st mirren are also heading down that way .. if we were to play at home & the yams played at home on same day l&bs police would be out in numbers aswell. even if none of the ccs was to go down botlon , and the bolton lads were looking for a fight thats when the normal supporter might get the kicking so maybe u should be gratefull for the ccs being about . Any big event (sports or not )will bring out more of the boys in blue so extra policing is a must in these situations, i suppose pubs n clubs on a friday or saturday are to blame for the extra police that are out on weekend.whats next then are every 1 going to ask for the pubs not to open on weekends ( no i cant see that happening)

It's a good idea not to post a bigger number of posts than the number of your I.Q., pal.

By my reckoning you're already 12 posts over your limit.

[oconnors_strip]

there was/is fighting outside the ground. police with horses trying to seperate the fans. but seems to be more of the known trouble makers involved. sadly a few families have been caught in the crossfire.

[Mikey]

sadly a few families have been caught in the crossfire.

The casuals usually justify their actions by saying that they fight their own type and it keeps the regular football fan safe.

Sounds like it may not have worked today eh.

aye its not worked today. i always believe that casuals never fight outside a ground, so who was fighting then? my mate thinks hibs will be punished for this:bitchy:

[Mikey]

I've texted someone at the game and they haven't seen any bother so hopefully it's just a small pocket and it's been and gone.

[CABBAGE & RIBS]

Not really surprised, as someone posted earlier it was expected.

[Malthibby]

This has been debated before, & it defies belief that some Hibs fans can try & defend the behaviour of these morons. They are a stain on the club, just thugs who bring the Hibs name into disrepute.
They need to understand that they are not welcome, & continue to be told they are not welcome until the day they go away for good.
Does ma heid in.

Just got texts from a couple of people saying they have seen no trouble either.

Just got another text saying guys on bus saw it, must have been a flash in the pan thing thankfully.

think the person who told me has exaggerated this seeings. dont think he gets out much:greengrin

but there were over 2,000 hibs fans there so not everyone is going to see things that others did.

My text said it was casuals :dunno:

[CABBAGE & RIBS]

There was meant to be al ot of the older hibs casuals going down for the day.

[MSK]

There was meant to be al ot of the older hibs casuals going down for the day.They would have been spotted nae bother then wi aw their battle scars ...

[Nameless]

A larger group of older lads were going down, but catagorically they were not there for bother. Some of the Preston lads who were up last week offered to return the hospitality they were shown, so I reckon this was just typical booze fuelled Scotland-v-England rivalry. It's not just dressers who scrap at the football.

''So much for a friendly match! Not seen trouble like that at the 'Bok for a while. We had to be locked inside Next as fighting broke out.

From a town that was involved in race riots a few years ago, they have a bit of a cheek to make sweeping statements about people.

To be fair, if the casuals have stormed the home concourse as has been reported then he is correct, they are s*um. Imagine if the PNE fans had charged the home end at ER last week. Sure they'd be getting called English s*um on here.

These reports surely can't be true though. The casuals only fight like minded people and actually protect the scarfers.
Hope there's no retaliation in the Bolton pubs tonight.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Hibees running on the concourse in friendly in Bolton...
Scots fans panning windows of Next in Bolton...

2 statements I've written and I've been in Edinburgh all day.

The wonders of the internet eh?

Has anyone confirmed this esp. the first point?

Easy ways to get the natives restless and make for an "interesting night" on the town.

OK I'm not saying nothing happened but they are hardly impartial are they?

Surely (hibs) folks at the game would have commented on the concourse incident?
I see there have been some comments on the xenophobic atmosphere.

I hope the rest of our time down there is incident-free.

"Came down the steps into east lower concourse to be confronted by about 50 Hibs (grown men, not kids) attacking the early leavers, so mainly women and families. One fat bald polo shirted one kicked a woman in the stomach. C***. He soon ran though. Coward. Top marks for the 2 GMP officers bravley trying to beat them back on their own."

It was a friendly, testimonal, charity game FFS. How come they never do this at Ibrox and the likes. "Cowards" seems about right to me.

[zlatan]

From another Bolton fan regarding someone getting put through a shop window.


I was in Thorntons at the time.

The guy who went through the window was goading the Hibs fans on his own, and was chucked/shoved through the window by about thirty of them.

As for our fans, well, just as bad as the Hibs lot for their attitude.

**** match, as well.

IF more people went to Easter Road with your attitude I'd be handing my season ticket back. Thankfully they don't.

"Hibs fans needed no invitation to bite"

FFS. At what was basically a charity match as well. :grr:

[judas]

you know the best thing about it?

Extra policing means less money for the charities that the proceeds are being donated to, but these idiots don't care about others as long as they can pavement dance for 20 seconds before the cops split it up. So that they can go home and say things like "Ah stood, ah never ran, am well hard"

Agree.

In my experience, most neds and casuals are saps surrounding one genuinely hard, mentally ill nutcase.

Dog jobies, the lot of them.

Was at the game today. We were at the West end of the South Stand, i.e. the other end from where the rival fans were noising each other up - although we were not entirely immune as one Bolton guy in a blue shirt was taken out in the second half after becoming a bit "animated" shall we say in his abuse towards the Hibs fans. A few dozen Hibbies rose to the bait and "voiced their opinions", ahem!

We left just on full time and rushed up to the train station to get in the queue to get a train back to Manchester so didn't see any trouble. Most fans I saw and also police and stewards were having a good laugh and banter. No animosity at all that I saw. In fact, all perfectly calm and normal.

We even ended up in the Bolton queue at the station for the train back to Manchester and though clearly having Scottish accents, there was no trouble and everyone was very friendly.

That's about it.

I was in the same area as you and would say it was slightly more than a few dozen who rose to those 2 guys! :faf: I may be wrong though but I dont remember that group of guys sitting there in the first half so Im presuming they moved there to be closer to the hibs fans. Again someone might correct me there.

Didnt see any trouble afterwords either, but then we got stright up the road.

Aye, I suppose when the police and stewards were leading him away a goodly section of the Hibby crowd in that area couldnae contain their sense of triumph at the guy's untimely demise!

I agree (and I'm a regular at Scotland games and always stick up for Scotland supporters). Happens at most friendlies against English teams these days (although never heard "We'll be Coming" before).

Plenty racist songs/chants in the pub pre-match as well. Directed at Amir Kahn, Larry Kingston and Rudi Skacel in particular. Oh, and their favourite song about our capital city. Disgusting and embarrassing but sadly some things will never change.

[nickwhibs]

It's just a bit of banter between Scottish and English fans is it not? Plus it was only because the Bolton fans started singing 'Engerland, Engerland...' that the Hibs fans reciprocated.

Don't go by bus. The police are clamping down on coach travelers and drinkers as well as supposed hooligans. I repeat: a big OT gravy train for them.

Well mr DBS, thanks for your concern :agree:

Though it was unfounded as I was transported there and back, by the Carlton & Leith Hibs buses safely** :thumbsup: Thanks Lads :thumbsup:

**Well apart from being propositioned by some infantile lads, who were just having fun, from South Queensferry :greengrin

Never saw any trouble, but I had right ErSe sitting next to me in the 2nd half, i moved to sit next to my uncle, and he was goading the small bunch of Bolton fans who moved towards us at half time (to our left) :yawn:

He never watched any of the 2nd half and left 10 minutes before the end :bitchy:

3 of the SQ lads seemed to in or around the trouble afterwards though, and it wasnae casuals :bitchy:

[Bristolhibby]

Its funny that one game can give two different impressions. (After taking 6 ****in hours to get up from Bath!) We arrived 5 mins into the game, lots of noising up in the far right of the hibs fans (We were middle left).

Incidents I saw was two sets of fans at the right hand side chanting towards each other, square go gesticulation etc. Bolton lad get huckled and led out on the left hand side of our fans, (as mentioned they were not there in the first half). Some almighty roar coming from our fans towards the right and coppers steaming into the area. Two Hibees taking their flag down infront of the stands, then the next second being wrestled to the ground and led out.

Definately an edge.

However when we left as we were so late getting in, we had to park in carpark B. Walked right past the main enterance of the Reebok, a few good lucks with the Bolton fans, a few photos of the ground then on to our car. Out and then 3hr 30min drive back to the West Country.

Long old journey. Figured out in the time it actually took us to get up there and back we could have driven to Aberdeen on a good day. That aside, as an English based Hibby was good to feel part of the Saturday match day.

(good banter in the service stations, meeting all the other fans heading home. Credit to Exeter and Swansea fans for their large numbers and distance they travelled.

My knickers aren't in a twist - in the pub on Wed, I'll be singing Oh Flower of Scotland as loud as anyone, and am as proud as the next person to be scottish.

I just find it somewhat lame that - at a friendly testimonial for a Finnish goalkeeper - some Hibs fans felt the need to raise to the bait of those moronic "Engerland" chants (someone should tell them that there are 2 syllables in their countries name........) with the Scottish national anthem :confused: Especially when we have a decent reperti=oire of far more rousing and appropriate Hibs songs to fall back on.

I'm always happy to see pro-Hibs songs sung at Hibs matches first, but sometimes rivalry gets Hibs fans drawn into other songs.

Doesn't worry me at all if there is a Scotland/England thing when we play English teams, has happened quite a bit over the last few years, IIRC. Not sure why that disturbs anyone, another edge to club football. All quite harmless. Don't get the cringeworthy thing at all TBH?

Do you get upset at anti Hearts/Celtic/Rangers songs that get sung at games as well? These are also not pro Hibs songs.

[sparkiehibs]

We had a chance today to show the rest that we are not troublemakers like the Old Firm and we can attend a game in England like Adults

All of you idiots who ruined that should feel ashamed of yourselves

I dont know why any of those on the right side of the stand even bought a ticket because they paid more attention to the opposing fans and the cops than they did the game

Not everyone sitting near the mini Englandshire folk in the Bolton end was trying to start a fight,
Apart from those who started scrapping, well done to the Hibs support today. Up there with Tynie for the last derby and better then any Hibs away support I've been in since we beat Rangers 3-0 in the cup at Ibrox.

:top marks

We were sat near the right hand side, but just on the edge of all the moronic chanting section. I don't understand why people go to a football match purely to goad the opposition fans, especially at a charity match.

After seeing bus loads of drunk Celtic fans at a service station singing their filth, peeing in the car park and generally being a nuisance I had hoped we could do our team proud by behaving, but a minority of moron's had to ruin it for the majority.

After seeing that today it's clear that drink will NEVER work inside Scottish grounds.

[red]

well after being directed here from searching on google i'll be the first one who was in bolton today to actually confirm yes there was "trouble" and what i saw frankly , it was shocking and shameful

i live in manchester and actually work on the middlebrook retail park, only about 50m away from the thorntons where i saw a group of 20-30+ hibs fans basically charge towards and boot the **** out of the windows till they smashed. i've read there was a guy thrown through the windows? can't say i saw it myself (mind you, there were far too many bodies about to be able to tell) but there was an ambulance there about 5mins later and it was obviously attending to something for a good half hour

i don't support bolton wanderers being from manchester i am a man united fan and anyone who lives around this area knows 99% of bolton fans hate Man Utd and there is quite an intense local rivalry - at least between the fans if not the actual teams... so i really don't have any reason to be sticking up for bolton fans etc but what i saw today was ridiculous

i know what football hooligans are about and ive seen a lot over the years and read a lot too. one thing i know for sure between football 'hooligans' is the genuine ones organize it and never - ever get innocent people involved. right or wrong, i dont care - if two groups want a bit of a scrap before / after a football match but keep it to themselves i couldn't care less. what i saw today was the total opposite

from what i hear the bolton fans were basically attacked as soon as they got out of the stadium. remembering there is a RETAIL PARK directly next to the stadium there was obviously a lot of people in and around the retail park that were just shopping. families, mums, dads, children and generally innocent people who were nothing to do with football....

there was a large mob of hibs fans who basically worked their way through the retail park, attacked completely innocent people , smashed shop windows to bits and did nothing more than make the travelling supporters look like total *****. this minority of ********s gave your whole supporters a bad name - i am friends with a lot of people in the bolton area and i know the conversations that were going on afterwards. is there going to be a backlash tonight? who knows, but its happened

as i was driving home from work one of the well known pubs in the area had hibs flags covering its railings outside and the whole outer area was swarmed with hibs fans. fair enough come and drink at our pubs, but dont take over and start re-branding our pubs with your flags

but my main concern was the fact that our shop had a few groups of mothers with their young kids running in for cover. i saw lots and lots of families running away from these dick heads who given the chance would have probably attacked them too. lots of innocent people were attacked and caught up in **** because of these muppets.

to the people who see what is wrong here - respect to you. i know the majority don't agree with it but unfortunately these idiots give the larger groups a bad name. whatever happened in the ground and whatever chants are made is one thing - once the games over it should all be over and it shouldn't go any further. football has banter (some of it not so tasteful) but thats just life. the bolton fans sing a chant every time they play man utd mocking the munich air disaster and its sick , but these individuals are the real sad ones in the situations and it very rarely goes further - let alone at a testimonial.

shame on the minority that spoiled lots of peoples afternoons. i'm in work tomorrow and something tells me the retail park wont be so busy after todays antics!

I am gutted that our proud name will dragged through the mud for this, I have family in Bolton and this is not what I want them to think of us as a support

Thanks for your support. We saw trouble brewing as we left the stadium heading towards the retail park.

The behaviour of this lot of idiots made me embarassed to be a Hibs fan today. As the poster has said, if casuals want to knock lumps out of each other then fair enough but don't drag innocent people into it.

[modsquad]

I also know because I work in Manchester there was trouble in Kearsley when Hibs Casuals got off a train after the game.

They were penned in on a train to Manchester by BTP before being hoarded onto a train going out of Manchester. There were about 40 of them which were a mixture of older & younger all in the usual Stone Island essentials. One of the older lads was sporting quite a nasty black eye

[NaeTechnoHibby]

Penn the lot of them in permenantly IMO

We really dinnae need this PIsh :bitchy:

[lucky]

Never saw any trouble but it was a very drunk Hibs support. There was also the biggest CCS turnout since Millwall 1991. I cant believe they served drink through out the match as it was clear that something was going to happen.

Some Bolton fans in both corners were clearly there for trouble but seemed to get away with gestures and threats. I thought it was a very poorly policed game.

[mentalhibee]

I'm just back from bolton, the hibs fans were in full voice singing only hibs songs but then the bolton fans decide to chant about scottish **** and engerland etc. They looked like the BNP brigade and some were even booing amir kahn! I thought he'd be a local hero:confused: Never seen the trouble at the retail park but you could sense something might happen. Shame if innocent people were caught up in things!

[HIBERNIAN 1875]

Saddened to see a minority of our support has harmed the reputation of our club and overshadowed the majority of Hibs fans who were very well behaved today.

[bathhibby]

Didn't see any trouble.

Apart from the two sets of Fans in the Corner under the Big Screen doing their usual noising up all was well.

Left the game and walked round the ground to the Home Car Park and got nothing but good homoured banter from the Bolton Fans.

I can't see Beer ever being sold in Scottish Grounds as the Concourse under our Stand was mobbed throughout the game by folks who drank and watched the game on the Stadium TV !

Great Hibs support and dare I say it if we had the Sky Millions we would fit into the EPL no problem.

"Came down the steps into east lower concourse to be confronted by about 50 Hibs (grown men, not kids) attacking the early leavers, so mainly women and families. One fat bald polo shirted one kicked a woman in the stomach. C***. He soon ran though. Coward. Top marks for the 2 GMP officers bravley trying to beat them back on their own."

It was a friendly, testimonal, charity game FFS. How come they never do this at Ibrox and the likes. "Cowards" seems about right to me.

Noticed this post further down this thread from "HeartsFan"

"Guys,

Sorry to hear that those Hibs idiots made a disgrace of themselves.

Please don't brand all Scots the same though. You'll get trouble from Hibs, Rangers and Aberdeen. From Celtic you get all the pro IRA baggage. All the other clubs will be up for a bit of banter and nothing more.

You can only be blamed for inviting the peg-selling gypsy junkie tramps in the first place. http://www.the-wanderer.co.uk/boards/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Disgusting, embarrassing, humiliating are the first words to come to mind. We were all up in arms at the police announcing they were aware there was going to be trouble. Looks like they were right.

All I can say is that they are not Hibs fans, they are not even football fans. They are just hooligans and our club and the majority of fans dont want to be assosiated with it.

We're kidding ourselves if we pretend they're not Hibs fans. There IS a nasty, thuggish element in our support, even if it is a minority. We've all seen it, and we turn a blind eye - and a deaf ear - to their racist songs and chants. And until the rest of us stand up to them they will always spoil the club's big days for us all.
Easy to say, harder to do, I know. But they ARE a Hibs problem. We have to shun them, to report them to the authorities, and stewards and police have to come down harder on them. Let's take them to court and get the banning order.

I deleted my post for other reasons but I will answer this. I didn't mean they were not Hibs fans as such. They are hooligans firstly who 'support' a team. Unfortunately this lot have chosen Hibs to 'support'. I bet they hardly saw a ball kicked, they dont go to watch football. I know they are a Hibs problem.

I personally wont stand up to them but I might not be so quick top dis the police like I did at the announcements before this game.

Doesnt help that when you do report them the stewards/police do heehaw. I moved to the West to get away from these phannies and their racist crap. One good thing about the new East (when its built) will be that it'll be easier to spot these muppets (not that its hard - just look for the ugliest and best dressed).

Nae class.

[SunnyLeither]

I for one was dissappointed in all the pre-match hype etc. that went on in connection with potential trouble. I got a call from the Football division of Greater Manchester Police giving me the 3rd degree and I run a bus with mums, dads & kids on it. Then we hear all the guff circulated to our coach companies, I was beginning to visualise the Bolton area in lock down and Police state type tactics with some Bobby coming on our bus with his funny shaped helmet sticking his litmus paper in my Evian bottle to check if it was something more sinister.

Then you pull in to a service station full of drunken greatest fans in the world pouring off coaches followed by black bags full of empties pishing next to their coaches, obviously walking 50 yards to a toilet facility was too much for some of them. I thought to myself, either these guys can't read (maybe true in many cases) or with experience they knew the threats from Manchester's finest were purely hot air.

Onto the game, sitting near the Bolton fans, my opinion was although I didn't agree with 1 or 2 of the ditties being exchanged, no-one got hurt by the hot air being expelled and it actually picked the atmosphere up a bit. As for the afters well, where did the phrase 'known faces' come from? If they're known, follow them and make sure they don't cause bother in shopping malls or were the GMP too busy making sure I didn't sneak a wee voddy in ma water bottle. For the record, they did neither it seems!!

Furthermore, I don't condone violence :wink:

[blackpoolhibs]

It did kick off in the shopping centre next to the ground, i think its called middlebrook. There was running battles with hibs and bolton ****. Innocent people, parents with children were running for their safety, some we locked in the shops, others were caught in the fighting. Me i'm so happy they kept me safe, i dont know how i would have managed to escape if it was not for our hero's clearing a path for me, and ordinary fans like me.:bitchy:

Was at the game and was totallydisgusted with the neanderthal behaviour of some of the pondlife who hijack our good name and our colours. Didn't see any of the shopping centre etc incidents, but it was clear that trouble was way above football on the minds of a sizeable minority. The classic illustration was when Hibs were actually taking a corner at our end, and a large body of the so called support were all looking towards the opposing fans.

It was very clear from the condition and demeanour of a good number that the game was just an excuse to advertise their inability to hold more than two pints of fizzy lagerpish, and to advertise their "hardness" by gesturing at people fifty yards and several dozen police and stewards away. Pathetic bottom feeding self-abusers who drag the good name of our club into the gutter. More pathetic, though, are the idiots who seek to defend them.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not one for the idiots just going to games to get involved in ridiculous pavement dancing in any shape or form but i really do find it hard to believe that the so called "hibs casuals" or whoever the idiots were actually started randomly kicking and punching women and children and completely innocent people like it's been claimed. Some things get blown all out of proportion in the heat of the moment and very exaggerated, i know as in my years of following Hibs when i was in the UK i've saw many many things happen then i read the so called "reports" from some fans it's absolutely nothing like what actually happened at all and is really quite ridiculous to hear how people like to add their own wee bit to things to make it sound jucier.

You don't even know me to judge me and my view!! As per usual on here, don't have an opinion unless it's the same as yours and have at least 18,000 posts i gess eh??.....:bye:...:blah::blah:

Shockerooney!! Fans in fight at football, who's have guessed it?? Next thing there'll be singing, drinking and rowdy behaviour as well at the games eh?? dear oh dear, i think we should all have a wee cup of tea and a scone and calm down after all the "excitement"...:greengrin

Don't get me wrong, i'm not one for the idiots just going to games to get involved in ridiculous pavement dancing in any shape or form but i really do find it hard to believe that the so called "hibs casuals" or whoever the idiots were actually started randomly kicking and punching women and children and completely innocent people like it's been claimed. Some things get blown all out of proportion in the heat of the moment and very exaggerated, i know as in my years of following Hibs when i was in the UK i've saw many many things happen then i read the so called "reports" from some fans it's absolutely nothing like what actually happened at all and is really quite ridiculous to hear how people like to add their own wee bit to things to make it sound jucier. Just my humble opinion of course.....back to my crochet and knitting now as i don't want to venture out in case those bad boys might be fighting now do i??.....:greengrin

Agree that things do sometimes get blown out of proportion but if even one kid has had his day out (to the football or to the shops to buy Wii Sports) ruined by these plums then its too much.

What we are talking about is adults who are acting like they are 10 year olds in a playground trying to prove they are the hardest.

The could do with a good dose of reality as to what hard really means - 90% of these guys wouldnt last 2 minutes in prison, Afganistan, Harlem, Woodburn Miners Club ....

Oh aye, i agree totally, sorry if my post maybe comes across that i am taking their side but i'm not in favour of the idiots in any shape or form.

Women and children were running for their life yesterday. fact. People were fighting in a shopping centre, a man was thrown through a window fact, in full view of families with young kids.

You see it was not fans in fight at football, it was in a shopping precinct, with people who had not been to a football game. No need to add anything to make it jucier, this happened yesterday, and you find it funny, you think we need to have a scone, you are a knob.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but your opinion makes light of what happened. You have the wee green smiley after your scone comment. People were frightened yesterday. If any are caught, there will be affray charges brought. You make it sound as if football violence is something to chuckle about, there will be families at home in bolton who would argue that case. These **** should be locked away for a very long time, do you agree with that?

Aye, of course i aree that they twats should get locked up as they've no place in a so called civilised society. I personaly have been caught up in the middle of all that nonsense at games before but i don't make a big deal of it and don't usully wish to give them the forum space, media space as this just fuels the fire, they seem to actually revel in the fact everyone's talking about them!! I spoke to 2 mates who were at the game and they said they were waiting on their lift coming (well, their g/friends were shopping whilst they were at the game, lol) right at the shopping precinct place where the "battle" or whatever took place and they said it was all handbags at dawn stuff and was over before it began and saw absolutely nothing that made them feel scared at all. I told them about this 8 page thread about it and they said it must've been a complete different "battle" as the one they saw hardly really happened and even their girlfriends laughed at the so called "fans" and their so called "fighting" as they thought it was pathetic!! They said you could see it coming a mile away and most of the general public, shoppers had all moved well clear. I only go on what i've heard from them as well just like others go on what they have heard ok so that's what i base my opinion on, that's all. I'm no wanting to get into one of those slanging matches as i just goes nowhere ok......cheers.

Well you are adding to this subject. Your friends must have been at a different fight to the one i mentioned. Did they see the guy thrown through the window? Did they see the fight outside waterstones? Did they see the security guards that were beaten to the floor, and kicked stupid? Did they see any of this? Not what i would call pathetic, and certainly nothing to make light of and laugh at.

Oh dear here we go again...if you care to actually READ what i said about giving the twats any publicity i said i "don't usually" wish to talk about it, this being an exception but i see you only see one way and that's it so there's no point whatsoever in going any further. You see to be Mr unlucky that you seem to have been at every single incident that happened all day and have a first hand eyewitness account of everything! I do hope you have told all to the local police then seeing as you saw it all dramatically unfold before your very own eyes all day as i now have spoken to lots who saw absolutely nothing and had a great day but hey, opinions and all that eh??
Well, a couple saw one or 2 very minor scuffles but do not get scared by that whatsoever, they said it was just pathetic full stop and they hardly batted an eyelid to it like no-one else did around them, including locals shopping etc etc........i'm off now to get my life back and open a cold beer and have my scone with it!!

This opening was hardly going mark you out as someone looking for reasoned debate was it?
Sadly most people here are probably not shocked that there was fighting at a football game. That doesn't mean that the decent majority shouldn't make their feelings known about the small band of ********s who would have us thinking twice about bringing our kids along.
Your main point about incidents being routinely exaggerated, which you eventually got to after dismissing other Hibs fans in such patronising tones, may have some substance. However wasn't there similar claims of exaggeration made about the cowardly attack on a Hearts supporters coach last season?

[Chuckie]

From what I saw the trouble just outside the ground after the game could have been easily avoided, and I would question the decision by the police of allowing both sets of fans out of the ground at the final whistle.

Both sets of fans in the corner area were having a good time of it winding each other up. The usual chants and posturing, which inevitably lead to a few people getting overheated and trying to move towards each other. The stewards were on hand. However I think the flashpoint was when a Hibs fan fell to the ground and was lead away by the steward (it looked like he was being dragged along the ground). A few of his friends went to help him up, more stewards waded in and then everyone just seemed to lose their tempers. There were a lot of coins, and other missiles getting launched back and forwards.

Seconds later, the final whistle goes, and both sets of fans rush outside. The officials open the gates and the fans ran towards each other. To be fair to the police they had it under control in minutes. I think there were only a few minor scuffles. I remember seeing a policeman hitting a few Hibs fans with his baton. Certainly nobody got injured.

I was watching closely and these Hibs guys looked they had done this kind of running battle thing before. Encouraging each other to stand and face the police horses and Bolton fans like they were some kind of war generals, but they were easily driven back by the horses.

As bad as it sounds, that is the sort of thing that can happen at matches. Punching women, terrorising shoppers and wrecking shops is just evil thuggery, however and is totally indefensible.

[LancashireHibby]

I didn't actually witness any of the trouble as I stayed behind to applaud Jussi's lap of honour, but as a supporter of both clubs I was hugely embarrassed at the antics of both sets of supporters in the ground, went well past banter IMHO. Fully expected England-Scotland stuff, that's par for teh course, but things went well beyond that.

The excuse that was no segregation outside the ground etc is a joke - even when Man Utd, Blackburn, Wigan, City etc go to the Reebok, there is no such segregation outside the ground, and the numbers of incidents you can count on one hand.

Was a great day out, drinking in the Beehive and then later on in a proper little boozer in Bolton. Hugely enjoyed having a Hibs game on my doorstep, but I fear it's the last time in a long while that I'll have such an opportunity.

It's brutal that Hibs will get associated with this sort of pish again, and it will probably mean that we'll not go to England again for some time in pre-season.

It's embarrassing and disgusting behaviour like that mentioned in this thread that spoils these events for everyone.

[givescotlandfreedom]

As someone posted "Kevin Davies started it". The atmosphere seemed good until he put in a bad challenge on Bamba - the Hibs fans were angry and the Bolton corner were cheering it. From then on it took a nastier turn and the petty stuff started with those who preferred to watch each other rather than the game. Idiots on both sides - I hope we don't lose out on getting more trips like that due to these bawbags but suspect it won't help.
Speaking of trouble I saw Alex Rae getting on a train full of Celtc fans - does anyone know where his body was flung out?

as i was driving home from work one of the well known pubs in the area had hibs flags covering its railings outside and the whole outer area was swarmed with hibs fans. fair enough come and drink at our pubs, but dont take over and start re-branding our pubs with your flags


**** off. Thats what travelling with your team is all about, going to new cities, flying the flag! Taking over pubs, having a good time and a sing song!

we are the hibs!:greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

I'm just back a few hours ago.

Personally I never saw any trouble but I'm not surprised that there was bother.

I don't have a problem with the Scotland/England chants, I think it's just an added bit of banter for the game.

But dragging innocent people into drink-fuelled violence is completely inexcusable and any Hibs "fans" who were involved in such activities should be utterly ashamed of themselves. I don't give a jot what happens to them but what I do care about is that they have dragged the name of Hibernian FC through the mud.

I hope they are caught and I hope Hibs receive their details and that they are subsequently handed lifetime bans from every UK town centre when Hibs are playing there.

Drinking alcohol is no excuse for violent behaviour. People should be able to have a few pints before the game and still know how to conduct themselves. I had a few drinks in the Bee Hive before the match and I was a bit "happy" but all it did was make me enjoy myself. I had a wee sing song during the match (yes I did sing some Scottish songs) but I had absolutely no inclination to start a fight with any Bolton fans or bring innocent bystanders into it.

I was staying at the Premier Inn across from the stadium and we went for a meal at the restaurant across from the hotel last night. We had to remove all our Hibs stuff as there were no away fans allowed but they did allow guests of the hotel to eat there.

When we walked across, there didn't seem to be any bother, there were Bolton fans drinking outside, about 20 Hibs fans standing in the car park talking and quite a few Police officers.

We were in there for about an hour and afterwards we were just going to have a drink before heading back to our hotel. However, as we went to the door, the manager apologised and said that he had been forced to shut the bar by the police and he had to go down to the council this morning to see about his licence as there had been a bit of football related trouble.

He didn't say whether it was Bolton fans or Hibs fans who had caused the trouble but I just find it all really pathetic.

Not only was this a pre-season FRIENDLY match but it was also a charity testimonial that was supposed to be a fun day out for all the family.

I hope that all those who were involved will be happy to know that their actions may just have resulted in Hibs not returning to England for the forseeable future and thus spoiling it for everyone else. I really enjoyed my few days down in Blackburn and Bolton and it's just a shame that the moronic element of our support couldn't just leave us decent fans alone to enjoy ourselves.

I hope this sorry episode will allow us to concentrate on cleaning our act up, rather than going about criticising fans of other clubs.

Apart from all the above and some of the idiotic songs that were sung at the Bee Hive, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the vast majority of the Hibs support did us proud by turning up in large numbers and making a cracking atmosphere. :thumbsup:

I really hope that we have a similar pre-season next year but sadly I think it will be a few years before we are down in England again. :bitchy:

Would that have been the guy who started the trouble and challenged Hibs Fans to a fight? and wish he hadn't. I believe he wasnt thrown threw a window.

[campberbwfc]

a small number of your fans should not distract that the vast majority were having a good laugh and banter with bolton fans.

the reaction to jussi before and after the game was excellent.

there are cameras all round the ground so anyone involved in trouble can expect an early morning knock.

running into groups of kids and families giving it the big come on then is just a cowards trick and it will be caught on camera.

I thinkmost bolton fans realise that the trouble was caused by a small minority, the link to the paper report of the fight in Kearsley sounds more like people who wanted to fight doing so somewhere away from cameras.

anyway good luck for the season.

[maturehibby]

Police were using video cameras during the game at the "Crazy Corner" so will have identified the culprits of both sides and the miscreants can hopefully expect a wee knock at the door in the near future .
I also saw Alex Rae jumping on the last train to the weege on Sat night at Preston and think he would have survived as they to a man/woman /child were "Buckied up to the eyeballs" and would be seeing far worse things than an ugly ex Rangers player

[frazeHFC]

Well the Bolton fans have certainly showed what they think of the Hibs hooligans on their forum. A Hearts fan has posted sucking up to them saying it's only Hibs, Rangers and Aberdeen that do that sort of stuff, well, the Bolton fans certainly didn't accept his sucking up, he got a bit of stick

don't care if they were bollock naked - can only hope that our mentally deranged get what they deserve after that embarrassment.

[fife hfc]

I was outside the ground until six o'clock and the police and stewards were in good heart. I could hear sirens but there didn't seem to be any tension in the air as both set of fans mixed well.

when I got on the half six train I was speaking to some of the Bolton fans who were sitting in the corner near our fans. They said it was just banter and nothing more sinister. I was behind the goal myself and felt the signing was the same and added to the atmosphere. I don't think the signing had anything to do with the fighting what has been reported.

I had my six year old son at the game and never once felt threatened by anything kicking off, even getting on the train to Manchester with the Bolton fans. Any Bolton fan looking in just like to thanks and hope you have a good season (though they appear to view Megson as we did Mixu).

[nonshinyfinish]

It says location: West stand lower and Pittodrie but he has over 4000 posts on the Bolton forum so :confused:

I'm not saying he isn't a Bolton fan as well, but if you read his post it's quite clear that his motivation was to defend Aberdeen, not Hibs.

[LancashireHibby]

The fella on the Bolton forum is originally from Aberdeen but now lives in Warrington and has a season ticket at the Reebok. Although on that particular thread it may be viewed that he was just defending Aberdeen, I know from postings Hibs stuff on there in the past that he's more of a Hibs sympathiser than a Hearts one :agree:

[Ed De Gramo]

Just back from Bolton/Manchester and what a weekend (the night out rather than the post match).

Both sets of fans were borderline with the songs....Bolton fans then overstepped the mark by hitting one of our fans with a coin. My mate went to complain to the police and he was basically waved away. The police then filmed the Hibs fans. The policeman was then asked about certain songs aka Scottish **** and he says nothing wrong with it (pretty sure that if it Scottish was replaced with English, then there would have been arrests) :grr:

From what I saw (and I was pretty much positioned in the scene of the crime :greengrin) coins were thrown by both fans and there were at least 6 Hibs fans and 3 Bolton fans kicked out).

2 Botlon fans wearing Rangers strips and trying to engage the crowd into singing songs we usually hear when the Huns are in town :agree:

All in all, 5 coins and a couple of bottles were thrown throughout the 90 minutes and then it all seemed to kick off from there. I was leaving the ground to see our fans running towards the Bolton fans and 2 or 3 police horses trying to prevent fights....saw a few clashes and was quickly ushered away by ONE :bitchy: steward.

Never saw a pre-season game like it....

[fife hfc]

Just back from Bolton/Manchester and what a weekend (the night out rather than the post match).

Both sets of fans were borderline with the songs....Bolton fans then overstepped the mark by hitting one of our fans with a coin. My mate went to complain to the police and he was basically waved away. The police then filmed the Hibs fans. The policeman was then asked about certain songs aka Scottish **** and he says nothing wrong with it (pretty sure that if it Scottish was replaced with English, then there would have been arrests) :grr:

From what I saw (and I was pretty much positioned in the scene of the crime :greengrin) coins were thrown by both fans and there were at least 6 Hibs fans and 3 Bolton fans kicked out).

Come on, I saw the Bolton fan wearing the hun top in Mcdonalds before the game and he was about 14 year old. hardly anything to get worked up about. most of the Bolton fans in that area looked very young and hardly thugs
(just daft laddies trying to act big in the safety of the home end). As I said earlier I spoke to two of the Bolton youths in that area and you would be lucky if they were any older than 18. The signing was attempt by bairns to wind up the opposition fans and to get worked up about it is a joke.

well I saw him in that area and I can tell you I walked within about a yard of him and he gave me daggers:faf:. I just gave him a smile and shook my head. he was about 14/15. Cannae say I saw another fan wearing a hun top.

As I've said previously, that corner is consistently just one big embarrassment. The "your mum's your dad" is a weekly ditty. Understandable when playing Wigan, Blackburn or Burnley, but hardly has the same ring when playing a London team or the Mancs :confused:

As I said above they appeared to me to mostly silly wee laddies and nothing to get too worked up over. I personally felt it gave the game a good atmosphere, then I was sitting in the middle and not too near it.

when i was there a couple of months ago to see bolton v west ham it was that corner causing the bother with the west ham fans as well, the west ham fans reacted the same as the hibs fans, although i dont know if there was fighting after.

I ended up sat in the vicinity of the creche at a few games a couple of years ago (Liverpool and Marseille spring to mind), and you could write their footballing knowledge on the back of a postage stamp with a marker pen. Suppose it's the price to pay of having £49 season tickets for the little darlings.

Either;

Which is it?

[Zondervan]

The most embarrassing today was Hibs fans singing that Tartan Army pish "We'll be Coming Down the Road".

Save that pish for Hampden when you boo the national anthem and sing all your other anti-English racist crap.

No room for that type of racist behavior from Hibs fans.

There is definitely a hun element to Boltons support imo. Was talking to a fairly hardy looking older boy (about 50) and he was saying he'd managed to get lifted in Manchester when the huns were in The UEFA Cup Final "just for having a UVF flag". His exact words were "we're all Rangers here". Now the boy was obviously noising us up a bit (being in a non suicidal mood not something I was about to rise to) however one of his acquaintances had referred to Hibbies as "all fenians" earlier. How widespread this is I don't know, but there is more than one Bolton fan who is a hun.

Have a word with yourself, comparing our Club to Rangers, who's fans made national news after their away day in Manchester.

Its the fans who get the bad reputation not the Club. Or did Rangers get punished for attacking the Policeman & knocking him to the ground?

As for bigoted Rangers fans, dont you hear them at ER singing their dittys? Or dont you go along to games?

I was more playing devil's advocate and sounded like a Rangers sympathiser but you can see where I'm coming from. We're all a bit gutted that some idiots have probably wrecked our chances of English friendlies for the next few years and that's probably how the Rangers minority who are decent fellows feel as well.

I'm just disappointed that this reflects badly on us as a support.

What a steaming load of big fat yellow sanctimonious pish.

Have you written to the Hibs board? Have you written to the police ? Have you written to Gordon Brown. Have you written to your local MP. What have you done Calvino? NOTHING..

The only thing you are disappointed in is that nobody has come to your house and shaken your hand and thanked you for being so disappointed that this reflects badly on 'us as a support'.

Every football club has it's radges, which most of us accept. Your moral outrage on a football forum is embarassing and your words are redundant unless you are willing to act on your holier than thou attitude.

Will you ?

Quite a lot of Bolton fans are fans of Rangers, there's nothing malicous about it.

However, I definitely came across some BNP undertones whilst in Bolton and I suspect that this may well be the reason behind the allegience to Rangers from some of the Bolton support.

You may well be correct, in that the allegience in itself isn't malicious, but some of the people may well be.

To be fair, big English clubs tend to have a significant Rangers following in their support. Bolton arent alone in this respect.

I wasnt at the game but find this very unlikely...

The verse which refers to " seditious Scots to crush " is not very friendly but then IMO neither is Flower of Scotland. Personally I loathe the jingoism of national anthems, & goodness knows why the Americans find it necessary to clutch their left nipple at the same time. Perhaps it's an obscure masonic ritual. :wink:

I don't see what's wrong with this. The fact is, plenty of people in Bolton will have talked about the trouble at the weekend, when Hibs were in town.

Then they will make the association that Hibs = trouble.

I wasn't in Bolton so don't know what happened, but it sounds as if sections of our support DID cause trouble, regardless of any provocation. Wandering around an English town swedging in the name of some Anglo-Scots rivalry is not the way to get a good reputation.

[JohnnyHibby]

This chat about Rangers fans reminds me.....

I had a conversation with a Rangers fan last summer which made me realise that some of them are totally bigoted and no matter whats done they will never change.

The Rangers fan lives in Fife and does not go to any games.

The conversation went like this:
Rangers fan: Why do you not like us?
me: well many reasons, like that song you sing being up to your knees in fenian blood for one.
Rangers fan: Whats wrong with that?
Me: What! ok what about the national anthem God save the Queen, you sing that right?......what about the third verse about crushing thy rebellious Scots which is about killing Scots?
Rangers fan: Nothing wrong with that, you have to remember there were no real Scots, Scotland was made up of the Highlands and Lowlands then.
Me: Thanks for that and at that I walked away......

Roll on the Atlantic League and English football........good riddance to them and Celtic (Oh and which English team is gonna give up their place in the Premiership or the lower leagues to them and thus lose millions?)

That's all I was trying to say, that unfortunately now for a lot of people that will be the case, just as for most people Rangers = Bigotry although admittedly on a far greater scale. Sorry I touched such a nerve!

And Chuckie, why should everyone accept that we have 'radges' as you put it. It's the acceptance of it that let's it remain there. I'd rather be holier than thou against it that not have too much of a problem with it.

[Albanian Hibs]

as i was driving home from work one of the well known pubs in the area had hibs flags covering its railings outside and the whole outer area was swarmed with hibs fans. fair enough come and drink at our pubs, but dont take over and start re-branding our pubs with your flags

You really think that singing a couple of Scottish songs is more embarrassing than being involved in physical violence?

Anyway, how are those songs racist? :confused:

There were a couple of songs that were sung by the Hibs fans at the pub beforehand that were racist and completely out of order but the Scotland/England stuff is just a bit of light hearted banter as far as I'm concerned.
