Eh, naw.


Given the recent deaths of young players associated with both sides, this is not really in good taste.

:agree: I agree, pretty sure most people won't be singing this given the timing of the two tragic deaths.

[iwasthere1972]

I wouldn't be singing it regardless. Rather sing about Hibs than them.

Not really, the song gets belted out every time we play them, along with a couple of cringe-worthy other ones. Embarrassing.

I notice there are a lot of young people commenting on this thread about Wallet Merger.

Do us a favour and refrain from doing so.

Why not celebrate the fact that he failed to kill our club rather than the fact that he died of cancer? We like to occupy some kind of moral high ground in terms of fans and singing, "Hibs class" is something that crops up all the time but celebrating someone dying of cancer just makes us look utterly ****my, regardless of who he was.

Nothing wrong with hating the man and what he tried to do and nobody, young or old, is telling you to forgive and forget but for us to be singing a song celebrating the death of someone a week after one of our own died in tragic circumstances shows a lack of class that is below our fantastic support.

:agree: I remember what it was like in 1990. I was young but was at the usher hall forum and knew exactly what the consequences of that ***** intentions would be. Doesn't make it right to celebrate a man's death like that though, not unless we want to look like ***** too.

Cancer is not mentioned in the song he"s dead and we're no kinda does celebrate the fact he tried and failed to kill our club and we've outlived him finally never claimed to ever take the moral high ground whilst supporting the hibs. I do respect the opinions of fellow fans that do not like the song and each is welcome to their own views

[joe breezy]

I don't understand rejoicing in a person's death unless you really hated the person's relatives

Being dead is a state of nothingness - I was dead in 1960 and I'll be dead again in 50 years

The only people that will be hurt by my passing will be good friends and relatives

Which is why the Mercer song is pointless - and I was at the Hands off Hibs Rally

[Scònaldò]

I was only 3 in the mercer days but celebrating another human being's death is sad IMO.

Hibernian FC are still here, celebrate that instead!

[silverhibee]

F*** him. FTB

He tried to kill our family off.

Not needed. We are better than this .

[happiehibbie]

Being old enough to remember the day the news broke that Hearts where going to take over Hibs a very sad day

BUT the guy highlighted the fact that DUFF and GRAY had sold us down the river just like the Mad one has with our rivals

I want us to show that edinburgh football teams are way above bigotry! religion and sick songs about people dying of the most horrific illness that cancer is

[Ozyhibby]

It remains the only case in world football of one football club trying to buy it's rivals to close them down in order to gain market share. It was a despicable act from a horrible club and their imminent demise will give me great pleasure as Hibs will have had no hand in it.
That said, it's a crap song and I'll never sing it. Not Hibs class.

[Broken Gnome]

Not tonight eh. You don't commemorate two peoples' lives then rejoice in the death of someone else, no matter how different they are.

[Northernhibee]

Not tonight eh. You don't commemorate two peoples' lives then rejoice in the death of someone else, no matter how different they are.

This 100%. Singing 'he's deid' so shortly after the deaths of two teenagers is absolutely not Hibs class.

[Libby Hibby]

Not tonight eh. You don't commemorate two peoples' lives then rejoice in the death of someone else, no matter how different they are.

Not tonight, not never, shocking song.

Would it be nice if we sung all Hibs songs tonight instead of singing anything about them?

Actually Robert Maxwell's Oxford United had tried to buy out Reading a couple of years earlier (when Oxford were the 'big' team in the area). There was a similar reaction to the idea down here and Reading were subsequently rescued by a local businessman who had made his fortune in a motor-related trade. The aptly-named 'Bob' is now viewed by Reading fans in much the same way as us Hibbies regard Mercer.

Thats right, i have and will sing this song again, but after last week this in my opinion is just not right at this time.

I hate Mercer and will hate him until my last breath on this earth, but i will refrain from singing this song tonight.

[Saorsa]

The same people would be banging on about the FTB song regardless of the tragic events with those lads. Seems a bit off tae me trying tae use those tragic events as part of their argument. What happened tae those lads was indeed tragic, that fat greedy money grabbing **** falling off his perch was not.

How many years ago was that now exactly? If you cannae give it a rest with the 'he's deid' when it's quite possible two families grieving the loss of a son or grandson are watching then you seriously need help.

[hibbymick]

I see on brokeback they are getting all uptight about the opening post. Now I could possibly be wrong here but did those two faced inbreeds not sing a song about scott browns sister ?

Why not just leave it at that and show a bit class

[ronaldo7]

It's being discussed over the road, and this is one of the posts that just might allow all those who did not go through the events at the time to realise what occurred.

"With regards to Wallace Mercer, I do wish that he had finished them. The "merger" was never, ever a merger, it was a complete takeover of hibs by Hearts. It was a long term view that ONE team in Edinburgh would attract the same fan base as the Old Firm do. I was at a shareholders meeting at this time when Wallace said that we 100% wouldnt change our colours, we 100% wouldnt change our badge...a takeover. "


I have made my feeling known about the song for tonight, but I will be singing it with gusto at Tiny in March.

I was going to ask if you had been living in solitary confinement for the past 3 weeks, but fair play to you.

I think those families are hurting plenty already. I think that every time this songs been sung at a game there have been people there who have recently lost someone.

I think you'd make a good politician, piggy backing on a tragic event to try to back up your own point (not liking this Mercer song), when really there's no connection.

I'm not piggy backing on anything; there's a time and a place for everything and given recent events I strongly don't think tonight is the time on the place.

No point in arguing this further as it appears we have entirely differing standards.

O as for the song.... To sign this song today would be in very bad taste IMHO and as others have mentioned there are other songs we can sing.

Glad one of the fuds posted what FTB meant - hadn't a clue what the **** were bleating about.

True Hibs class - even funnier if the media pick up on them singing about dead people after the recent ' let's win every game in tribute to David'

Classless and sad but then they will always be stuck in the past

1. Not won the big cup since 1902 so have to look at pictures to think of what could be.
2. Bleating on about a 0-7 score for a meaningless game back in 73
3. Singing about Wallace Mercer- as they are doing
4. Singing the Skacel is a refugee song,
only because he reamed them that many times- funnier as he is no longer at the club
4. Singing about Rix and Thompson who no-one supports being paedos while they have Zoomer marrying his 13/14 yr old bride.
5. Singing about us being relegated - I'll give them that one as is i would do the same if the shoe was on the other foot - although it is their only grain of comfort for the years of torture we've handed them.

When all is said and done FTH - that thread has just got me more fired up than ever to do them today.

Agreed - get rid of this.

1. Would the two boy's family want to hear this - no.

2. Would STF, RP, TB and the team want to hear this - no.

3. Would 95% of attendees tonight want to hear this - no.

4. I was involved in the HOH campaign, but would I want to here this vile song tonight - no.


5% of poster's on here need to grow up.

[AK86]

I think the majority agree that this song should not be sung. Especially tonight.
football fans are cruel though, and I would imagine a few units of alcohol to be consumed by many before the game tonight :greengrin will throw any common sense left out the window.
I think the more people who try and keep a bit sense and don't sing it, in respect of the two laddies families then the better it will be for all concerned.

one thing aside on the Mercer issue, which I feel is totally overlooked, is that poppy stealers hated hated by the end as well. They hunted him out their cheating little club. This fact has been forgotten conveniently by them , as it dosent fit in with victim role, they so love to play
