After that game was carnage. Thousands of huns walking up Easter road blatantly looking for trouble, spitting on parents who had children with them, squaring up to any hibs fan they seen and singing their usual sectarian crap right in the faces of the police and hibs fans.
When I asked the police what they are doing about this they replied with there's nothing they can do? How come when we go to Ibrox we are manhandled and police escorted right to wherever we are going, but when they come up here they are free to do as they wish? Absolute joke.

Wish our club didn’t just turn a blind eye to this stuff...

I bet their stance will be like the police officers “nothing we can do as they are on public streets”. I’d love them to report Rangers fans behaviour but they won’t.

Spitting and sectarian chants are here to stay. Disgusts me that it still goes on in this day and age. Prisons aren’t big enough for all these offenders and tax payers’ money would have to pay for their upkeep. Easier everyone turning a blind eye.

What a world, eh? All over football...

Astounds me why they don’t keep the vermin inside the stadium until our fans vacate safely.

Police could get away with it when there was only 7-8k Hibs leaving the ground, close to double that now and police are useless at keeping them under control. Could’ve turned very nasty.

Had a bit of banter with a few on the train from Bathgate and spoke to a couple of lads heading down London Road.

Thought they were tame tonight compared to what I've witnessed over the years.

I even had to walk amongst them after making a wrong move towards the west stand and never heard a thing.

We don't just turn a blind eye to it, the announcer literally thanked them on their effort to come to ER. Disgraceful, their fans are just a bunch of bigoted, sectarian **** who should never be welcomed to our home.

Massive police presence before and after, we managed to get to the game without actually seeing a single Hun, whilst walking down Easter Road to the club around 6. After it we again didn't encounter any closer than having them outside the bus going up Easter Rd and to be fair though they were singing (no idea what) there was no banging on windows abusing those on board etc which I've seen happen with other teams fans.

To show that they value Hibs fans more than the marginal extra revenue by allowing more of them into the ground? And increasing the home advantage. Some people are incredibly narrow minded about this issue.

I was a bit nervous about walking up er with two ten year old, especially when the hun hordes piled out exactly as we did, but the only violence I witnessed was the cops, one slamming a Hibs fan against the shop shutters again and again for no apparent reason, the other kicking over a boy he was chasing, apparently for giving him 'cheek'.

No surprise there from the Polis. Classic tactic to threaten you with arrest so that you just bugger off and forget about things and therefore they don't actually have to do anything at all.

Shocking.

The police get a hard time but they're not going to stand by and watch someone get assaulted.

Yes they were singing their songs tonight but the only trouble makers (physically) I saw were three Hibs fans who bolted up Easter Road right over to Sevco fans and were swiftly lifted after pushing an old guy.

Embarrassing.

Hi mate

Totally appreciate the feedback and understand there needs to be an open line of communication which is why I registered on here in the first instance.

I'll start on thanking the away support. It is something that has been requested and that we have been doing for over three seasons and throughout the start of this season. The issue has raised its head again and I will definiately pass on the comments and feedback from everyone. The thought process was us rising above it regardless of result and having some "Hibs Class" but in situations like last night, I can understand why many would question why I am continuing to do it. It's about being consistent, we can't for example thank St.Johnstone fans and then not thank another team because we are behind or there is a bit more of an intense rivalry. I 100% will pass it on and it may even be something you would feel could be brought up at the next open fans forum with the fans reps.

The repetition of "Hibernian Vs Rangers in the Ladbrokes Premiership" is a request that comes from the SPFL delegate for live games and is for purpose of the the Sponsorship with Ladbrokes I would assume. You will note that is mentioned three times a game.

Keep the feedback coming though as said before I'll do all I can to change what I can (within reason). I'm always happy to come on and explain the reasoning behind a lot of what is and isn't said at half time.

Happy to always come on and answer things where I can.

Thanks for coming on here to share the reasons behind it.

I don't mind when we thank the 50 odd Ross County fans because you can see they made an effort to come and support their team at our stadium. I can also see your reasoning that we have to do it for everyone regardless of the circumstances but it just got to me with all the sectarian abuse sang towards us and our manager last night

I don't think it is cringy to thank the supporters of teams other than Celtic, Rangers and Hearts.
They make great efforts to come to Easter Road and support their team when others in their communities go to watch Celtic & Rangers.
They have my respect.

thanks for clearing that up Mr Mic, i do appreciate you taking the time out to post a response :agree: but i will say i totally disagree regarding thanking away fans for what is afterall only supporting their team, it's one part of 'hibs class' i'm sure more than a few of us can do without, i do understand the 'consistency' part but i'd far rather we were consistent in NOT thanking fans of any club then if that's the case, thanking rangers fans for coming along and at the same time allowing them to treat all hibs fans in the stadium(and outside the ground) with their vile disgusting filth fair rips ma knittin , or is it better we just turn the other cheek...which is exactly what the football authorities in this country are only too happy for us all to do.

My disabled sister had a lighter and coins chucked at her leaving the west at the bottom. She tried to tell the police but they weren’t interested and I can assure you this happened. She was struck in the face with a lighter and was told by the police to just re-enter the stadium till it passed.

Now the thing that annoys me the most by this is if we are at Ibrox it’s the away fans that are kept in. Pretty sure tynecastle is the same. So why is it that it’s us hibs fans who get boxed in and can’t leave. Treating our home fans poorly when we should just keep the away fans in till we all pass. Honestly so annoyed by this. Also meant they missed their bus home to fife. Rangers fans are the **** of the earth!!

I was down ER before the match. Big police presence and both sets of fans mingling without trouble. Cant speak for what happened after the game. On the subject of thanking away fans....I would rather we didnt. We are too nice at times.

Hi mate

Totally appreciate the feedback and understand there needs to be an open line of communication which is why I registered on here in the first instance.

I'll start on thanking the away support. It is something that has been requested and that we have been doing for over three seasons and throughout the start of this season. The issue has raised its head again and I will definiately pass on the comments and feedback from everyone. The thought process was us rising above it regardless of result and having some "Hibs Class" but in situations like last night, I can understand why many would question why I am continuing to do it. It's about being consistent, we can't for example thank St.Johnstone fans and then not thank another team because we are behind or there is a bit more of an intense rivalry. I 100% will pass it on and it may even be something you would feel could be brought up at the next open fans forum with the fans reps.

The repetition of "Hibernian Vs Rangers in the Ladbrokes Premiership" is a request that comes from the SPFL delegate for live games and is for purpose of the the Sponsorship with Ladbrokes I would assume. You will note that is mentioned three times a game.

Keep the feedback coming though as said before I'll do all I can to change what I can (within reason). I'm always happy to come on and explain the reasoning behind a lot of what is and isn't said at half time.

Happy to always come on and answer things where I can.

Re the part I've highlighted in bold - yes we absolutely can.

I don't in general have a problem with us thanking away fans for turning up to Easter Road, particularly when they've made a long journey and the weather's horrible.

I draw the line at thanking supporters of Rangers and Celtic.

I don't want to see these reprobates anywhere near Easter Road in the first place, thanking them for attending is not something I want to hear.

By all means thank fans of other teams, I actually wouldn't even bother so much about Hearts fans being thanked.

However I want Rangers and Celtic fans to feel as unwelcome as possible throughout the duration of their stay at Easter Road and that includes even when we're winning.

Totally agree ... I consider myself half Irish and i am very proud of that fact , they morons are a total embarrassment and total **** though in my opinion.

If there was a football club whose support was mainly drawn from the Muslim community and they were sympathetic to the plight of Muslims worldwide and they started singing songs at games in support of ISIS and Al-Qaeda then they would be hounded out.

I don't see why more isn't said publicly about Celtic and their chants in support of the PIRA. This is a proscribed terrorist organisation that we're talking about here and has the same status as the other two groups.

Not necessarily aiming this at you, I get that you not everything you say will be dictated by yourself. But thanking the Rangers fans is ridiculous. What exactly are we thanking them for? Their constant sectarian singing over the course of the 90 minutes? We absolutely can choose who we wish to thank. Have you ever heard us being thanked for making the journey to Ibrox?

The non old firm clubs should be doing something to stop this. They choose to ignore it because they profit directly from it. They are more interested in the revenue the **** bags generate than making Scottish football a better environment for the normal football fans who support their club in a civil and respectful manner

coins lighters food & pish is our thanks.

I sort of got the impression that thanking all fans coming to ER was coming from Leeann, time to end it and start making it quite clear if the continued singing of banned songs from both clubs from the West doesn't stop then Hibs will start to reduce numbers for games, but I doubt that will happen, we had our chance at Ibrox a few seasons back about putting in a formal complaint about our manager being abused in his place of work, we done nothing.

thanks for clearing that up Mr Mic, i do appreciate you taking the time out to post a response :agree: but i will say i totally disagree regarding thanking away fans for what is afterall only supporting their team, it's one part of 'hibs class' i'm sure more than a few of us can do without, i do understand the 'consistency' part but i'd far rather we were consistent in NOT thanking fans of any club then if that's the case, thanking rangers fans for coming along and at the same time allowing them to treat all hibs fans in the stadium(and outside the ground) with their vile disgusting filth fair rips ma knittin , or is it better we just turn the other cheek...which is exactly what the football authorities in this country are only too happy for us all to do.

You’d not be surprised at how lenient the law is towards Islamophobic abuse. The FA were dismayed when a Newcastle fan received a paltry fine rather than a banning order from magistrates over the admission that they chanted abuse at Mido of Middlesbrough. Given that 1000’s of fans were chanting that Mido had a bomb and Mido the Paedo (I’m not buying the historic Middlesbrough child abuse scandle angle), it shows how difficult it is, when race, religion get muddied with the well-meaning ‘Show racism the red card’ campaign. The sad fact is, like homophobia, Islamophobia is acceptable to the majority of UK citizens but the latter is easy to couch with the grey areas of ignorance and prejudice and still fall under the letter of the law, so the likelihood is, you’d get away with it.

Further, I can give you countless examples of open sectarianism, including incitement of violence conducted by extremist so-called ‘Sunni’ groups representing the house of Saud who fund and run many mosques in Europe, especially France and UK. So, as with the the aforementioned Christian sectarianism here, nothing is done. It is treated as a ‘domestic’ incident by the police. That is not so much to do with treating only Muslims with kid gloves but I’d say the artifice that some hypocritical leaders among any religious community create around themselves to hold onto power and protect each other from exposure to their all too human frailties.

As for expressing ‘sympathy’ to others and supporting ISIS, I’d say that’s oxymoronic, like Christian terrorism or Islamic terrorism. Some criminals use religion as a vehicle to exercise their irreligious hatred of others and pretend, even convince themselves they’re ‘good’- messianic or martyrs- a gangsters’ paradise.

You want to break a taboo, walk down Sauchiehall St or Govan or Easterhouse, etc hand in hand with a Rangers fan in a Celtic shirt or vice versa, on a derby night, then tour the pubs singing Christmas carols collecting for victims of domestic abuse/brain injury. Who’s with me?

Something , anything ... Nothing is even said about it , both games against the old firm this week their fans were at it , and the club dont come out and bring up that it has happened. If the club had any balls then they would be issuing a statement condemning what has happened and stating the repercussions should it happen again. Then when it happens again ban their fans from our stadium. Im sick off it being swept under the carpet, its about time the club did whats right for US, the clubs supporters..

Gladly but it would cost the club too much.this is not true. cut their allocation, increase ours. if it is just money that interests you, more fool you. there are standards, and there are low levels. you seem to be happy to reach the lower levels as long as the money comes in.

No chance police would allow supporters to share the stand and access points.

When you say ‘share a stand’ it’s happened before and also at a far less segregated tynecastle last season for both Celtic and rangers. The south stand lends itself to being segregated and has been done before.

Access points, if you mean turnstiles they are at opposite ends of the sand, if you just mean roads etc, the roads around the stadium are shared as it currently stands, and if they really wanted to you just put one of the police cordons up and make Hibs fans enter via the rear of the East stand and through the metal gates.

Very easy to segregate fans both before and after the game.

My brother in law parked at Sainburys at Meadowbank before it so we went past them as we went to the west.

That's a really good point. Cut their allocation but put a pound on the price of a ticket. Call it a cat A+ fixture. Explain to our fans that we are taking a stance on the sectarian bile from BOTH clubs but also don't want to be financially hit by it. I for one would accept that, in fact I would be delighted if Hibs did it and called these low lives out on their behaviour. It's only £4 each per person but would be well worth it

Definitely think thanking away fans is a terrible idea.

It was OK last season when your thanking Dumbarton, QoS fans etc where about 50 of them turn up on a cold winters day.

Our match day experience has changed now and thanking 4,000 Rangers fans for trashing the place, singing sectarian bile for 90 minutes and throwing coins, lighters etc is laughable.

Hibs made their position on sectarian abuse clear when they failed to raise the subject when our manager was abused at the cup final. In these cases silence is tantamount to condoning it.

We have to accept as a support that religious hatred is not going to be dealt with by Hibs, the police, any politician or by football fans. We fans have power over the clubs, we can refuse to buy tickets to games that include celtc and the huns, but we scramble to get them. If we stood together and every stadium that the old firm (deceased) played in had only their fans in it then our clubs would have to take action, but we don't and that makes us complicit in it.

Tbh sectarian abuse washes over me nowadays, it barely winds me up now. It has become normalised. We can moan all we want about it but words will have not effect on the perpetrators, only showing your own club that it is an issue for you by not buying a ticket for a game against the old firm and telling them explicitly that the reason you will not buy a ticket for the game is because of the sectarian abuse spouted at these events then the status quo will continue.

Everyone in football and politics are afraid to deal with this, the fans accept it by continuing to pay to take part in it. I guarantee a few games without fans attending both home and away to the ugly sisters games with fan groups telling the press why and something would start to happen. Imagine if every ST holder contacted the club to say they refuse to use their ST for those games and refuse to let them resell the ticket I bet you Hibs would do something. We can bump our gums again and again each time we play these two ugly institutions but without action there can be no change.

I bet in 10 years time we will still have threads like this, go back 10 years and look at the dates we played the uglies and you will see threads like this. Nothing will change because we all support it financially. We value football and supporting Hibs over the bigotry spouted at these games, it is that simple, I do it myself and each time I buy a ticket for an old firm game at ER or to one of the cauldrons of hate on the outskirts of Glasgow.

Anyway that my tuppence worth on the subject, I may get abuse for stating what is clear as day but I don't care, we all know the solution, but it would mean harming Hibs to effect it and we don't, as a group of fans have the stomach for it, no teams fans do.

this is not true. cut their allocation, increase ours. if it is just money that interests you, more fool you. there are standards, and there are low levels. you seem to be happy to reach the lower levels as long as the money comes in. Standards, morality, for the greater good all better than taking the "king's (billy's in this case ) shilling.

You don't think that having both sets of fans in the south stand, therefore having to leave several blocks of seats empty for segregation purposes plus increased policing and stewarding costs to manage the increased threat of trouble caused by the stand being split would cost the club a lot more than the status quo?

I would love to see Rangers and Celtic fans getting the bare minimum for Easter Road but in reality that's never going to happen any time soon.

I agree that its not going to happen. The reason for that is simple, they put money before morals. All the non old firm clubs do, this should have been tackled ages ago , especially when you consider all the other good things being done to stop intolerance in society and at the football.

Why should the home teams suffer financially if you cut their allocation ? I’ll gladly have a full away end. The SFA SPFL should start by closing 1 of there stands at the next home game, then close another stand if it continues and so on before they end up playing games behind closed doors. Let they B ******* suffer the financial hardship. Then they’ll know all about it. Hit them in the pocket. Or deduct points.

The announcer at Partick thanked the 1900 odd Hibs fans and said they really appreciated it.
Just saying likes.

Fair enough but presuming our fans didn't destroy hundreds of seats and hurl sectarian abuse for 90 minutes?

Thanking should only be done when it's deserved. I wouldn't thank a waiter or waitress if I was eating at a restaurant and I saw them spitting in my food!

Did the 1900 or so Hibs fans spend large parts of the match singing sectarian abuse aimed at killing Catholics or singing about terrorists?

Should install a massive roller-blind on the roof of the south stand. As soon as the "party songs" start, roll down the blind so they don't get to see the game until they stop. We could even make it sound-proof so we can't hear them either!

Nice one.
Strangely I was thinking the same thing with the addition of the playing of Embarrassment by Madness over the PA as the blind comes down

It's nice to be nice (with caveat of Celtic, Rangers and Hearts)

They should install a giant foghorn in the South and blast it every time they start singing. I'm sure the players and home support would get used to it.

They probably couldn't care less about seeing the game anyway.

A bigot fest whilst snookered on Buckfast is far more appealing.

And I would have no problem with the Hibs announcer thanking the Partick fans for turning up to Easter Road.

This is specifically aimed at Rangers and Celtic fans.

Haha. Great idea. MrsH6270 has a bike horn that she uses incessantly when she receives PPI calls and the like on her phone. Strange but the number of calls she has had recently has reduced, so you might be on to something.:greengrin:greengrin

Back on subject though. Regardless of what allocation we give the Weegie ugly sister hordes, they are always going to fully sell their tickets. So whether it’s 3500 (full stand) or 25% of that just to pi$$ them off, we’ll still be subjected to their bigoted chanting. I agree, we shouldn’t be “thanking” them for subjecting us to it. Plus all of the other bile baggage mentioned on this thread is something we can do without.

Septic and Sevco only use the ‘football supporters’ analogy as a cover to impart their ancient and irrelevant support of a world that is so different to every other true football fan in the country (and I include Jambos in this majority).

Up to their knees in Fenian blood... Aye timid right enough :rolleyes:

Only because they won they where in a reasonable mood, imagine us winning then try and walk down the street with them. Rangers fans will never change

Whilst it washes over me to a certain extent, I'm sure there would be public outcry if Fenian was changed to Muslim or Jewish. Double standards imo.

And how the hell both the old firm still get away with the things they are singing about is beyond me. There are guys up and down the country being done with hate crimes for homophobic abuse. If i started shouting about muslims in a hateful manner then im done with racist and hate crimes. Something really does need to be done about both of them , it shouldnt be tolerated...

Should have read this before posting above. Agree with what you say here

The Politicians would be holding urgent cabinet meetings if this was the case but sit on their hands doing nothing while this specific type bigotry is belted out every week.
