Use the ignore function then and stop being so dramatic, I don't constantly put the club/hibs fans down...

[RoxburghHibs]

They are expecting 500 Hibs fans so should be some good videos/pics online later. So not as many as the last round (1500 travelled to Greece) but a very good following considering costs involved.

We've sold less tickets than that. 404 going by the fishy site.

408 to be exact but the expected turn out is to rise to 500 by kick off according to the official site. Jeezo do you look for the negative in everything!

Ok, just wondering how that can be as it says no tickets will be sold to Hibs fans over there? Hardly a negative, I wish I was part of the 400+

Purchase online and I assume you then get sent an e-ticket via email. I do this for some home matches.

By being abroad with Hibs they are representing us to some extent and should be behaving as best they can.

There's no need to sing this, especially when Norwegian TV or whoever it is are filming them.

They should grow up a bit.

Please, please, please, for the sake of our club's reputation - everyone, behave yourself over there. We do not want to be held in the same light as those others from the west coast, especially in an English speaking country. Football counts, but words are the only thing that last forever. Let the Norwegian memories of us be good ones.

Ach, she probably always had one in there. The one about her winning a game of 'Snap' is in much better taste.

Let’s be honest how do we know those lyrics aren’t based on facts?

And no I havent.

Refuse to sing Skacel song ad that’s racist. However my hatred
Of Mercer means I can handle that song. He didn’t give a fek about us
so why should we care back,

[tamig]

Indeed. I am a strong advocate of the original song. Love it. And can’t understand the apathy towards it, especially from those of us who were around and active in 90. I do, however, think the new rendition lacks a bit of class. Love any anti-Mercer song but bringing his widow’s sexual behaviour into it is a bit crass. In saying that, I am joining in the new version as it’s belted out in Molde. He’s deid 👍

Agreed, hate the man, but that song is a ****ing embarrassment. I've never been entirely clear as to how anyone made a connection between Skacel and refugees. He's from the Czech Republic, not Syria. It makes literally no sense.

[bigwheel]

I’m not a song “police” type person - I always believe that fans and clubs can be judged by the songs they sing ..that’s why the bigots can sing sectarian songs imo - they are what they sing

The same stands for us - those who deplore the skatcel song but sing the mercer song - that’s your own choice - yet for me , they are songs that do no service to our club and our reputation over the years - we should be better than singing songs of hate

[Hibby70]

Strangely I don't mind the old Mercer song as much which celebrates our existence v the ****bag that tried to kill us off. That new one though is pretty horrible all round.

[norhfc]

I was in Molde last night and never heard the song.

Cracker of a flag. Seeing it draped from the top tier at Hampden just as the final whistle blew is one of my favourite memories of the cup win.

I think there was an element of mischief from certain groups when they chose a union flag. It was supposed to confuse and annoy people and it still seems to work.

There’s no such thing as a green and black union flag. A union flag is red, white and blue. If you change the colours of the French flag from red, white and blue to green white and gold, is it still a French flag?

[Dancehibs]

Out of interest what flag represent Hibs ? Been a flag for 30 years. There were many different styles of flags in molde. All looked good and added the occasion

Perhaps something with our badge on it, green and white? Definitely not black. Any club in UK could use that flag. Don't see how you can associate hibs with it.

Sounds like there isn’t then one type of flag that defines hibs. Last years away strip green , white and black

I have and I had one when I was in the famous 5 stand back in the 90s.

In the late 80s early 90s black sort of became Hibs 3rd colour, with the club selling green, white and black scarves as well as other merchandise.

One of the highlights of the trip! The cruise ship was massive, must've been about 20 stories high. A lot of them went on deck to see what the noise was, including a couple that looked to have been in the sauna, then nashed back in to get their bathrobes on before coming back out, priceless!

Great trip, Wednesday night in the Sportspuben wis a laugh.

My point is easy to understand. I don't see how a green and black union flag has any relevance to hibs, may as well be blue and red. I don't get it.
I understand the sentiment just not the choice of flag.

If it’s green and black, it’s not a union flag. The Italian flag is not the French flag ‘with a bit of green on it’. That flag is a Hibs flag, which, like every other football flag, borrows design elements from other flags.

As others have said blacks been a colour on our scarves since the 80s. I had a GWB one mid 80s.

I wouldn't over think the GWB Union design flag, its not a political statement. I'm not ITK about these things but early 80s there was even a green, white and gold "Union" flag known in certain circles as a "Fenian Jack". One was brought to a 5 a side tourney Hibs were involved in. It might have given the idea for the GWB one ? Ive also met guys with GWB flag tattoos whose political views are as far away from Unionist as you can get.

It's clear with that view you don't get it...it is not a "union" flag...never was...it was the polar opposite of that...just treat it as it is..a Hibs flag. And also think of his one's purpose - respect to those who are no longer with us.

Get rid of that bloody horrible huge union flag.

🙈 not again had someone moaning about his after game in Greece. I think the flag looks great

[Peevemor]

What's the purpose of the black?

At the time Hibs weren't using purple and obviously wanted to avoid gold/yellow. Change strips were white & green and black was used as a third colour for detals/trims.

Spot on, it's worth remembering that those named on it, and theres a lot of names - ALL died young. It's a bit offensive is it not, for fellow Hibs fans to be saying "get it to fuc k" etc.

[SteveHFC]

Agree mate

Our final flight is from Luton to Edinburgh at 0710 today. Brilliant few days away and cheers to you and your Dad for good company pal

That's what away days are all about meeting new folk and having a good time although your dad kept up with pace unlike mine who needed a little nap :zzzzz!:, hopefully your last flight was on time unlike ours which was 2 hours late:grr::grr:

Just give us a shout when your up for a day out :cheers:

[therealgavmac]

I don’t know if this is urban myth or not........ I remember a story back in the day that Hibs were “made” to change their badge to remove the one with the “Royal Crown” and it was due to this that the black appeared in the coloured scarves.....

As I said, probably urban myth mixed with older age.....

No, the badge was removed after an instruction from The Lord Lyon (King of Arms) of Scotland. He has to give permission to use a crown.

Well I was right in that the crown had to be removed then

[oldbutdim]

I enjoyed the trip and was impressed at how the locals and Hibs fans got on. Very friendly atmosphere and lots of good Hibs lads there.
I met a chap who apparently is quite well known on here - and gets a hard time according to his chum. Two decent lads.
In fact that Underwear fella bought the 6 of us a bag of crisps unasked. It was a big bag too and probably didn't come cheap, so give the guy a break eh.

Lovely flag. Also it’s paying respect to hibs fans no longer with us . RIP

It’s not my flag, but it was me that took it over to Norway specifically for the game. In my opinion it’s a belter of a flag and a terrific tribute from those involved who got it made up.

My friends name is on it and it was ten years the day after the game that he passed away. His mum and brother thought it was a nice tribute and that many people remembered him. That’s good enough for me.

No other agendas involved in it as far as I am concerned

I think it also looked incredible in the various photos of the hibs end

Fair play to you. Lovely touch. Glad his family appreciated it.

[Killiehibbie]

My point is easy to understand. I don't see how a green and black union flag has any relevance to hibs, may as well be blue and red. I don't get it.
I understand the sentiment just not the choice of flag.It was originally intended to annoy both halves of the bigot divide.

Correct and it pays respect to those no longer with us, great idea, should be embraced, not slagged off.

Well said Stevie. I like the Hibs UJs and so do most folk I know. In fact you don't need to answer to Pacoluna etc. I can just see him asking the owner to take it down lol.

This.. was also my view.. anything to annoy the weegies..

Also glad to hear that it meant something to someone to have it flown.. :aok:

The flag design has been displayed by Hibs fans for years. The large one is of course fairly recent but no idea why folk are getting irritated by it.

Here is a picture of it at the cup final. It’s also next to a black and white “St George’s” flag, displayed by German Hibs fans. Work that one out, eh!

Anyone know if the flag has been 'updated' since then?
Others have passed since then, whose names belong there.

Looks decent enough to me.

You need to cheer up.

This thread is supposed to be about fans in Molde having fun, not your suspect personal crusade about a flag.

Next time you see the lads with the flag - go and tell them your thoughts on it rather than repeatedly telling us here.

Are folk genuinely slandering a flag that’s in memory of supporters who are no longer with us!? Have a word FFS.

The only people I have ever known that style of Hibs flag to offend are the bigots themselves on either side.

Please have the courage to go and speak to those with the flag instead of hiding behind a keyboard.Were you even in Molde????

Could you not have voiced your concerns to the boys over there in person.

[Albanian Hibs]

Yes.

Well why didnt you have a word with them when you were there?

[Baldy]

Good to see the small version of the flag on display in the south stand today

[Cameron1875]

What an amazing trip. The Molde fans were great fun and the wee supporters bar joined on to Sportspubben was a good laugh.

**** you Rosenborg/Celtic, we're gonna win the league:greengrin

[SRHibs]

Think that’s a bit unfair for numerous reasons. Think you can probably deduce them yourself.

Posting your opinion online isn’t being a keyboard warrior; he’s not insulting or name-calling anyone, just stating that he doesn’t agree with the flag.

I have had a laugh them, I said "the sentiment is great, not quite sure about the choice of flag though" and we had laugh. It's a couple posters on this thread that are trying to take offense when there is nothing to be offended by. Some even trying to make subtle threatening remarks.. Muppets.

Baws for what? to say I don't like the choice of flag. Grow up.

On this thread alone you have made 15 or 16 posts or replies specifically about that flag, or the fact that it has black in it.

You found out at least 24 hours ago what its about, but keep doing the "I love the sentiment but hate the flag" chat which draws it out again and brings other people (me included) back in.

Look, I can understand why you wouldnt want to speak to the lads on this subject F2F, and I agree with you that its a pretty daft suggestion, so perhaps just bowing out of the argument with a little grace is whats required from all (including you) at this point? :aok:
