Our clown supporters......

[HappyAsHellas]

Having been watching Hibs for over 50 years I consider myself thoroughly unoffendable at shouts, chants etc as I've heard it all before. Tonight however was a new low for me on a personal level. A Hibs fan singing what he thought was an amusing little ditty about Milligan being somewhat overly active in a masturbatory sense, and rounding it off by screaming "get him to F out of my club" to his adoring little bunch of ned friends, who naturally nodded their heads in agreement. This was outside the FF at half time fag break. They then went on to sing about the Ibrox disaster on their way back in to the ground.
I'm not a sensitive soul but have noticed these vermin seem to crawl out from under their respective rocks when we play either of the bigot brothers. Evening kick offs seem to add fuel of an alcoholic variety to these occasions. At the Celtic game I saw a supposed Hibs fan stamp on and break a seat, and tonight this. Wow, where do these morons come from?
In a feeble attempt to lighten the mood somewhat, another guy screamed at Kamberi during the match "You're worse than Lukaku"

Delighted with the point tonight by the way, maybe I'm just getting too old for this σκατα!

[overdrive]

Add in the songs about the IRA and bizarrely given the opposition, Scott Brown’s dead sister. Disgusting.

Some of the Allan McGregor ditties were a bit distasteful too.

[allezsauzee]

I think there are an increasing number of idiots watching Hibs who seem to want to match the worst of the bile that we see from bigot brothers. They have no place at our club.

I'd rather focus on the thousands of great supporters we have and the good point we earned tonight against a reprehensible outfit.

Normally I'd be right with you on this, but tonight looking around in the singing section at the amount of people there who obviously have no tickets for there and listening to their odious, puerile arse dribble it really annoyed me.

I'd like to make it perfectly clear that these morons are nothing to do with the section guys themselves who were great again tonight although I take it the regular drummer is on holiday.

[Chorley Hibee]

Let me be absolutely clear, the ********s in our support deserve to feel the full force of the law, and I support Hibs in their stance on that matter.

It does beg the question though, why do we remain silent on sectarian singing in our stadium, and the vile sectarian abuse aimed at both our previous managers?

I fully understand the argument attached to "getting our own house in order" but it needn't absolve our board from condemning the behaviour of others, especially when aimed at our support and employees.

[overdrive]

Definitely happened. Interspersed in the Allan McGregor “sex offender” chants. They were most definitely in the minority which may be why you never heard them.

Not in the business of defending that second chant but Allan McGregor is an absolute ****bag and his behaviour towards women is less than exemplary. It’s certainly night and day from singing about poor Scott’s sister, (purely IMO).

Snowflakes here there and everywhere these days. Back in the day there were mass brawls breaking out in the terracings, stones, bottles, darts and cans of lager being thrown into the opposition, pitch invasions every other derby etc.

I remember attending a run of the mill away Scottish Cup tie against East Fife back in the early eighties no segregation when the Methil skins/punks came wading into us with bike chains, hammers and other weapons until we fought back returning them back into their own end.

I'm sorry but its like chalk and cheese compared to then and now.

[tonyrougier123]

Are these wee neds even hibs fans??buckfast and sqaure go's.really?even in the casuals day boys had more class.just really crap patter! Its funny how these folk arny really recognisable to the supporters they are sitting amongst.clearly at it some of them.

[hibbydog]

When the Hibs players pull on the jersey they are representing our club. When the fans put their colours on and go to games they are too.

Like it or not, if say 100 out of 16,000 hibs fans do something like what’s been said on this thread, it ends up with all of us labelled as the same.

I’m fed up answering questions from people about these incidents as if the idiots are acting in the name of our great club. Sadly if you’re labelled as a Hibs fan, then the only thing people will associate you with is what is in the mainstream media.

You’re a hibby? Do you throw bottles at the opposing players? Did you invade the pitch and break the crossbar at Hampden?

No mention of many of the great things associated with being a hibs fan, such as the Dnipro appeal or our brilliant food bank donations. Nah that’s not a juicy enough story and doesn’t sell newspapers so the Glasgow dominated media will just write about whatever makes us look bad.

Pretty depressing IMO and no wonder Leanne was raging. Football has always attracted a small minority of brainless aggressive morons who use it as a vehicle to practice being a bell end.

Zero tolerance approach and we need these people to be taken away from our great club.

[staunchhibby]

If this moronic behaviour continues I can see fencing or netting surrounding the pitch.They had high netting in Bronby when we played them.

[hibsmad]

Not seen it mentioned but a drumstick was thrown from the top tier of the FF in the first half. Think it was just after they scored and landed on the grass just short of the pitch.

We may not have the same deep rooted sectarian problem as Rangers, Celtic and even Hearts. However we certainly have our fair share of idiots within our support.

[Carheenlea]

Disorder at football matches in 2019 bears no resemblance to what most of us have grown up with. Two incidents in as many games for us has set the alarm bells off a bit, but it’s just one step back after many steps forward. As bad as last nights looked, the bottom line was no blows were exchanged and no player was “attacked”. The boy will have a day in court, a lengthy ER ban and a fine to look forward to. Last weeks throwing of a glass bottle was a far more serious incident.
Both isolated incidents and I’d be more concerned if we were talking about large numbers of fans being involved in disorder. You want to keep the sizzling atmosphere that goes with Derby’s and Old Firm encounters, but there will always be chance of things spilling over as a result. Next week will be different against Motherwell, and I have nothing to worry about when I bring my two young daughters along with my wife to enjoy a family outing at Easter Road. The same can be said for most games really.

[andybev1]

There was a guy (sounded Irish) in my section at the centre left front who would not stop having a go at milligan. It eventually stopped when a guy behind him reminded him that he was a hibs player and to shut the **** up. He disappeared after that thankfully. real idiots at night games having had a skinful first.

[HibeeHibernian4]

The allegations of McGregor’s behaviour towards women seem far more reprehensible to me than some people singing songs reminding him of it, but each to their own I suppose.

[Hibbyradge]

Are those the allegations which were levied at him in 2010, but were thrown out by the police?

Or different ones that only you have heard of?

Allegations which you, for no reason other than a dislike of the man, choose to believe.

I remember that Richard Gough was alleged to be a child molester.

I hope I never see you arguing that people are innocent until proven guilty.

Agreed. It is a collective responsibility to get rid of such reprobates. However, equally it is key to remember they are very much a distinct minority and we shouldn't add to the hysteria of the Daily Record et al that there is some form of crisis that needs extreme action such as stand/stadium closures.

Absolutely bang on! I have emailed Leeann Dempster, twice in the past few weeks, pointing out how the Hibs board were ignoring this sectarian bile which made us complicit. We have CCTV and the full details of everyone sitting in that stand. Yet, for reasons known only to our board, we do not hand this info to Police Scotland and demand that action be taken. Or do we? As I have no reply I am still in the dark. To see her, rightly, condemn the moron that felt the need to invade the park for a kick about and totally ignore the morons who were again "up to their knees in fenian blood" leaves a bad taste in the mouth. It's time to take action or watch our game go further down the tubes.

The one thing I can never get worked up about is songs that are sung....for me (including ourselves - like the more recent Mercer stuff) these songs of hate or bigotry simply reflect on the fans and the club...it's who they are..

To be fair to club management they stowed what was Sect43, later Since1875, up in the top corner of the Famous Five Stand to keep them as far away from the pitch as possible.

As with the main singing section in the East, in big games its the twice a year junkies and jakies that create the problems

Yes I have. Not sure where you sit but as it’s been mentioned, the FF upper had a large group of Neds blocking the stairwells, arguing with stewards, standing on the edge of the FF upper with no one doing anything about it. It’s not just my daughter but there are other kids around us and personally speaking I think the behaviour or others is getting worse generally.

I would normally expect these posts to be shot down in flames if untrue so therefore assume it did happen. Someone must know and if it did happen then we need to start weeding theses guys out of our support before someone gets seriously hurt.

[dp00]

The problem also is they search all the people entering early but then when it starts to get really busy nearer kick off they stop searching . Now I’d hazard a guess that the people bringing flares, alcohol etc into the ground aren’t the ones arriving early

Just a few thoughts on Friday night's match FWIW.

I just got a sense that there was a horrible atmosphere in the air before this match. Even more so than usual for this fixture.

There seemed to be an even larger police presence around the ground than usual. It was as if they were expecting trouble. I saw a very large group of young blokes (Hibs supporters) being "kettled" (for want of a better expression) in Montgomery Street prior to KO, with mounted police well in attendance. Further along the street, at the Easter Road junction with Montgomery Street, mounted police and vans had also blocked off access to Easter Road itself.

I can well understand Leeann Dempster's, and the club's, anger and frustration at the behaviour of some individuals given all the hard work she and others have put in to result in Hibernian FC this year being the Scottish FA Community Club of the Year.

[CMurdoch]

Get the police to fund this and I would agree.

Hibernian FC is a business. Why would the Police fund testing a businesses customers.
Ball is firmly in the court of the club and decent supporters to force out the ********s.

Nothing the club or supporters could do about the guy on Friday.
He is caught, banned for life and going to court.

However, our fans should have identified the guy who threw the bottle.
That incident is a hundred times worse than Friday's guy and sectarian singing and could have resulted in death.
Let that sink in. One of our supporters could have killed a player or a fellow fan.
Fans around that guy should have captured him and handed him over.
These guys are dragging us through the **** and if the good supporters don't want this to continue they need to step up to the plate.

As for the neds that infiltrated the singing section on Friday night, that should have been sorted out by a load of stewards checking the tickets of fans standing there and getting rid of those without tickets to be in that section.

[Malthibby]

Maybe move to the family stand in the lower then? That’s what it’s there for.

It's there for families so kids can come to games without hearing too much adult content but I don't think 'adult content' should include racist abuse and violence anywhere in the ground. I think the idea is that we get rid of the 'fans' who are being racist and violent so we can watch our team without their bile. Zero tolerance before this gets worse.

[Stonewall]

Have you heard any racist comments from fans around you? The headlines may not have been good after the last two games but it was down to the actions of only two fans. I’m not seeing any significant change in the behaviour of our fans over the past ten years, we are in the main a decent bunch.

It’s hard to tell whether behaviour has got worse of late but my sense is that it has and the game on Friday was a real low for me. From the trouble outside Middleton’s before the game to the selfish and obnoxious behaviour of the pissed/ coked up headbangers beside me who contrived to break the seat in front of them it was not an experience I’d like to replicate.

No I haven’t reported it to the club as I have to sit beside them next game.

i’m not at the stage of giving up my ST but I’ll certainly be moving seats next year.

Snowflakes here there and everywhere these days. Back in the day there were mass brawls breaking out in the terracings, stones, bottles, darts and cans of lager being thrown into the opposition, pitch invasions every other derby etc.

I remember attending a run of the mill away Scottish Cup tie against East Fife back in the early eighties no segregation when the Methil skins/punks came wading into us with bike chains, hammers and other weapons until we fought back returning them back into their own end.

I'm sorry but its like chalk and cheese compared to then and now.

After tonights events I think we can kiss goodbye to anymore Friday/Saturday night matches involving us vs Hearts, Rangers or Celtic. 12pm kick offs on Sundays loom for us. Maybe no bad thing.

Didn’t make any difference in today’s game

[bubblesmorrison]

I'd rather focus on the thousands of great supporters we have and the good point we earned tonight against a reprehensible outfit.

Sweep sweep sweeeeeep!

[Pretty Boy]

Like it or not Hibs v Rangers has become the powder keg fixture on the football calendar. Their hatred of us has ramped up a fair few levels and it's not hard to argue the feeling is mutual.

Maybe it's time to apply the same rules as for Old Firm games and stop having evening kick offs? It's a shame because I enjoy a late kick off after a few post work beers but as always a minority don't know their limits, tear the erse out it and act like dicks.

I also don't think we should lose sight of the fact that incidents like Friday night are still the actions of a minority and are unusual hence why there is so much discussion about it. I've seen chat over the last couple of days about 'mass brawls' and the like suggesting every other football match sees running battles in the street which is total nonsense.

The vast majority of Scottish football games pass off with little or no incident; there have been games in recent times at which there was no Police presence at all and I don't recall any reports of increased trouble. There should certainly be tough action against individuals acting like we have seen in the last couple of weeks but I genuinely don't believe there is any need for radical changes.

[FFupper]

I have now seen several posts on a few threads saying that a drumstick was thrown from the FF Upper. I would normally expect these posts to be shot down in flames if untrue so therefore assume it did happen. Someone must know and if it did happen then we need to start weeding theses guys out of our support before someone gets seriously hurt.

It did get thrown, landed pitch side right in front of our seats. The stupid thing is a steward picked it up and handed it back when someone came and asked for it!

[HappyAsHellas]

It was thrown from row JJ in the FF upper, some neds just along from me, all looking sheepish when everyone was looking to see who'd thrown it.

Just report what you saw and the seat numbers of those responsible to the club.
The culprits won't know who has reported them.
Do it anonymously if you want.
It's not like reporting a crime to the Police.
The club will pull them in, they will deny it and the club will keep it on file if they can't prove it.
Perhaps someone has reported their bad behaviour previously and your report will be the final straw.
When you move next season some other poor ******* will have to sit next to them.
The likely hood is they will continue to behave in the same way.
You need to step up to the plate.

Problem is, all hun games would have to be played at 12-12.30. Seems the games they play against Aberdeen are also powderkeg if not worse, then add in sellik to that mix. Common denominator is the huns.

Sadly the bigger games bring out the idiots and they let down the whole club. 99.9% of hibs fans were no bother, shame the actions of some morons have to drag us all through the mud.

He came on to kick the ball away from Taveniers feet to try and be a smart arse. God only knows what exactly he was hoping to achieve! Made a complete and utter fanny of himself. I don't think he came on to assault the player, he was obviously a drunken wee ned who was tryna be funny and smart by kicking the ball away from Tavenier but nevertheless he should never have been on the pitch. Made an absolute embarrassment of himself and the club.


To whoever you are, I hope you enjoyed your 15 seconds of "fame" you complete moron, now kindly piss off and don't bother coming back to our support.

There was only a set of steps separating us from the East Fife fans in the shed area and myself and my mate at the time were situated there. I guarantee you at one point near the start of the match a number of their fans who mostly looked like skinheads in crombie type threads came wading across the steps piling in waving bike chains and other assorted weapons around. They got chased back across the set of steps but there was serious intent on their part to cause a melee.

I'm pleased that the consequences of behaving like that look like they could be quite severe. Hopefully that will stop other attention seeking fuds from copying him.

👍 I would rather he had a custodial/community service sentence and the judge/fiscal should have taken into consideration the chances of retaliation before releasing his name. The last thing I am is delighted over it and that would be the same if it was a supporter of any other club against the huns too. Mind the job loss/threats that other guy got after the final too?

I don’t see anybody “doing cartwheels” about it. If anything happens because of his name being shared (which happens in all of these cases) then it will certainly give him the wake up call he probably needs. Does he deserve a kick in because of what he done? Na, not for me however the accountability is on him

Some imagination you have, very creative. However, I’m sure he’ll survive his ordeal and reflect on the stupidity of actions. In fact maybe it will give him time to pause and think, perhaps even pivotal a moment in his life. He transforms from burgeoning chavvy asshole to reformed Joe Citizen, volunteers at the local old people’s day centre and renounces cocaine fuelled Friday nights at the fitbaw. After that the world’s his oyster.

My view on it is summed up by the phrases tough titty and silly **** being a smart ****.

I’m with you here. The mob rule vigilante stuff you are suggesting is unacceptable ina supposedly civilised society. But we do have a precedent here. You will remember the young lad that ran on to the pitch and punched rangers keeper Andy Goram. He was punished in law and named and shamed and, to the best of my knowledge, is still barred from ER but was not attacked by hoards of Rangers fans. Maybe the new club is follow followed by a different animal of course

He can't have been that bothered about the prospect of being named and shamed considering he did it live on TV, in a stadium with 20,000 people watching, FFS.

He’ll probably have a torrid time for a while, with a lot of people wading in just for the sake of it.

After that, nobody will give a monkeys and he’ll just get on with his life.

It’s just the way of the world now so I wouldn’t have any great concern for his long term wellbeing.

100% agree with this. The last thing this lad needs is jail. He needs rehabilitation and community service - not brutalisation which would happen in prison. He shouldn’t be allowed back in Easter Road for the foreseeable future however, so he understands the severity of dragging our club’s name through the dirt.

The hallmark of a decent society is to rehabilitate, and not brutalise. Prison brutalises people - he’s a 21 year old first time offender. He should get the chance to to redeem himself. At the end of the day, he messed up majorly, but the guy shouldn’t have his life ruined over it at the age of 21 - he was clearly off his face, and he needs to know what he did was unacceptable. He has been done for breach of the peace, and not assault or anything more severe though. He doesn’t deserve disproportionate action just because of the media outcry.

[Carheenlea]

I smell pish

It`s the first smell that comes to mind when reminiscing over the old Bayview ground.

Trouble at Hibs games in the past was not just exclusive to the big occasions and biggest clubs - games against some of the smaller clubs like East Fife, Motherwell, Ayr Utd, St Mirren and Airdrie to name but a few would often be fixtures where violence would break out.

He's 21 is he not? Hardly a kid and a father as well.

The guys made a mistake that he should have to pay for, and I agree he shouldn't go to jail.

I would be quite satisfied if he was given a community sentence and was issued a lifetime ban from Easter road.

I think I was at the same game! Methil and the old Bayview was just along the road for me and it was a Wednesday night. Crap evening and we got beaten 2 nil. Place was absolutely rammed and was/is one of my worst days out following Hibs. Mass fights breaking out everywhere going back to my car (which incidentally was my first ever, a vauxhall Chevette saloon in metallic lime green...... )

[Mick O'Rourke]

Pish off yourself.

Why would I make things like that up moron.
T70
You are spot on.
It was exactly as you describe.
Visits to the likes of Kilmarnock,Dundee and Airdrie back then was pretty grim in terms of fighting and supporters buses being ambushed after the game.

If i had kept a £ for every broken bus window/attacks i witnessed back in the day....
i could have gave Rod the money for Super Leigh ;-)

I don't excuse the recent behaviour inside football grounds and ER
However,(Ibrox apart;-))
it is far safer these days.
No comparison. imo
Segregation, no bevvy in grounds and seating has influenced this of course.

Definitely trouble that day. I got belted by an object thrown from home end. I was taken around the pitch and given bit treatment. Next day called into head masters office.

Problem seems to me that the Hun media need to be placated and making an example of this guy would satiate them enormously. They have never forgiven the "exuberance" of 21/05/2016.

Well said. :aok:
The consequences of his actions are of course a court appearance, criminal record, public and personal humiliation.
Not to mention the ban he will get from the Club.
How long that will really be... who nows ?
Should it be a life ban ?
If his actions were drink/drug related, i don't think it should be.
I do not know him .
But...
We all make mistakes in life.
He is paying for this one.

Definitely trouble that day. I got belted by an object thrown from home end. I was taken around the pitch and given bit treatment. Next day called into head masters office. He checked I was ok then wanted to talk about the game. Turned out he was an East Fife supporter and had seen me taken round the pitch

Sorry to hear that defo more ********s back in the day

As others have said attending any away fixture had its hazards

I could tell you a few hair raising tales but most involve the Huns

Glad you survived

[Bangkok Hibby]

I smell pish

I haven't had a chance to read this whole thread and I'm sure your comment has been answered but are you a young man who always thinks older people talk *****?
I can assure you this is how it was. You have no idea

[Tornadoes70]

You are spot on.
It was exactly as you describe.
Visits to the likes of Kilmarnock,Dundee and Airdrie back then was pretty grim in terms of fighting and supporters buses being ambushed after the game.

If i had kept a £ for every broken bus window/attacks i witnessed back in the day....
i could have gave Rod the money for Super Leigh ;-)

I don't excuse the recent behaviour inside football grounds and ER
However,(Ibrox apart;-))
it is far safer these days.
No comparison. imo
Segregation, no bevvy in grounds and seating has influenced this of course.

One of the worst nights I experienced ever back then was being through there midweek night in the old league cup sections format iirc. Horrible place especially when there weren't many supporters had traveled through as we were pretty much dug s---e back then and money was tight for most folk with that format not very popular either.

Intercity 125 travel was just in its infancy back then.

I was at an 18th the other night.

As I walked in a bunch of lads not one older than 20 sing about Wallace Mercer.

these kids where not alive when this man tried to take us over my question is Who is telling them these songs.

its getting embarrassing

It`s the first smell that comes to mind when reminiscing over the old Bayview ground.

Trouble at Hibs games in the past was not just exclusive to the big occasions and biggest clubs - games against some of the smaller clubs like East Fife, Motherwell, Ayr Utd, St Mirren and Airdrie to name but a few would often be fixtures where violence would break out.

Aidrie was carnage at times, bus windows put in, fighting on the way back to the buses

Our bus, Hawkhill, got it's windows smashed in Dumfries.

Two of my mates got arrested, charged and prosecuted, for chasing the folk that did it.

[Bangkok Hibby]

I think the courts will come down heavy on the three individuals.

Depends what they are charged with.

The Birmingham fan will do time.

And if I'm being honest I hope the so called Hibs fan gets jail, if only to stop it happening again.

But the thing is jail time for this guy won't stop it happening. If the death penalty doesn't stop murder you have to think deterrents dont work.
Well maybe an electric fence ⚡😮

I tend to agree with that
The bunnet bandit did not appear to be bevvied the way/speed he ran on the pitch.
And no doubt he knew how it would end up.
No you cant stop all those determined to do such things.

Electric fences ?

Don't hold back there .
Go the full hog
Moats round the pitches, filled with electric eels and piranha fish.
Take yer fishing rod in case the game is rotten.
On that ,i think moats were used in South/Central America many years ago.
Not sure about the piranhas though !

Yes, that song is now.
I disliked the man as much as another Hibernian who went through that "Hands of Hibs" period.
Our younger fans should not need to be chanting this now.
