Stewards at Ibrox

[Hibeesmad]

Heard from several people that one of them attempted to headbutt a Hibs fan and they were apparently celebrating the goals whilst supposedly ‘protecting’ our fans. Surely the fans reps need to bring this up for further discussion and have this investigated.

That's absolutely horrendous.

Funny nobody mentioned that at the game. If that had happened inside the ground it would have kicked off.

Shows nothing except Hibs fans arguing with Police.

Typical Glesca Polis nothing happened let’s arrest the HIBS fan wi the Edinburgh accent

[frazeHFC]

Same steward that's always celebrating their goals and generally winding up Hibs fans. Hibs fan jumps the barrier, arrested, Rangers fan jumps the barrier, asked nicely to climb back over.

Why jump the barrier?

[green&left]

Never saw anything like a headbutt and I was only 5 rows from the front. The mutant with the boots on is an orange **** (a proper sash wearing one), the old bassa a few games back was flashing his old season card about and the fat one I'm gonna guess is a Hun just by looking at him. Strange to have staunch Huns stewarding the away end.

Happened right in front of me. The Steward in question, like a number of them was behaving like a twat. He went nose to nose with a young fellah but there was no head butt. There was chaos for a bit afterwards and the polis calmed things to an extent.
Steward No 138 he was and definitely guilty of misconduct, assuming he is indeed there to help keep some order. Easily reported. Garrison Security Services. The polis had a word with him. He was picking on a young fellah and might have had his features rearranged quickly if the bloke in the row behind had succeeded in getting closer to him. His fat **** mate alongside him had the sense to stay a few steps back.

Most of the Hibs row in front of me to the left of this incident though were complete and utter ****ing ********s.
If you’re reading this and feel the need to make the sign of the cross a thousand times in an hour and a half, then there are plenty of other places to spend your Sunday. You’re as bad as those pricks above and all around us today. One or two need to get your left and right sorted first though. Embarrassing behaviour.

Well said, a few trumpets in our support today, some trying to start a chant of Union bears, watch the stairs....:rolleyes:

Why jump the barrier?

No need to, but seen it at goals in previous games. Just highlighting how the punishment varies depending on what team you support.

The hibs support are simply not welcome at Ibrox. A disgusting club and post 21/05/16 we seem to be fair game. They couldn’t make it more unpleasant and hostile if they tried

[Iggy Pope]

Surely not. That's horrendous.

Trips to Ibrox now are bloody awful. I’m not sure which way to look at times. Per head, the amount of fuds around are remarkable. And those same two Hun NF ****wits in the stand overhead of us are allowed to come and drape their banners (often the right way up) with the sole intention of provoking the fans below them. And it works as a lot of those fans below cannot help themselves. These Hun ****ers don’t even sit in those seats. They appear 10mins before kick off and again at half time before ****ing off back to where they started.
We’ve a bit of rope and several disinterested stewards and polis keeping the name callers apart at ground level. None of the name callers watch the game and prefer to use their fingers to gesticulate in ever more creative ways.
The spectating experience at this fixture is seriously ****ed. More so than it has been at any time in the 40 years I’ve been attending it anyway.

Have to agree with that, and it applies to both sets of supports.

I actually have a feeling that the idiots in the Hibs support are part of some organised group. There's a large group of younger pretendy casuals, and a small group of older guys that join in with them. They sing songs about the Ibrox disaster, the queen, the 'Ra' and whatever else they think can possibly offend, cross themselves and wave tricolours in the direction of the home fans.

There was also some much older (maybe about 60 y/o), fat, gray-haired fan-dan in Row M wearing an Irish Rebel scarf and constantly shouting something like 'Go home British *********s'

Last time I visited Ibrox was in the Stubbs era, I witnessed an elderly woman who took who I assumed was her grandson to the game with her, get hit several times by flying drinks and coins. Can’t stand those vile *******s.

And then get massively offended when obviously The Rangers fans start singing Rule Britannia and such nonsense back at them. Do think we have a growing minority of idiots that want to join in with all the bigoted nonsense. Also seems to be on the rise with Hearts. Never known it before in all my time supporting Hibs but hopefully its stops

[Sir David Gray]

I'm not sure what words were being sung but I also heard a few of our fans singing something to the same tune as the song that was sung by some Celtic fans a few years ago about Lee Rigby, when the huns unfurled their flag about him before the game.

Hopefully it wasn't the same words.

They unfurled the same utterly pointless flag today again. Lee Rigby obviously having been a committed ICF man and all that. “Never forget”. “ Never forgive”.

The flag is just contrived nonsense, as is the rest of their faux allegiance to Queen and country that they all try to get behind but regardless of the merits of the flag, it's more the reaction of some Hibs fans that I am getting at.

If they were singing the song that I think they were (and someone on here has already apparently confirmed that they were) then it's an utter disgrace.

[Hermit Crab]

Get it up every rangers fan that worships that ****


Wow!

Thread closed in 3 2 1...

[Iggy Pope]

And here it goes. We enter a debate amongst us about a terrorist murder several hundred miles south of Glasgow and one that that had nothing to do with football, peculiarly in common with so many acts of terrorism. I’m betting Lee Rigby had never heard of the ICF or Walter Smith. It’s another bout of point scoring that ends pointless anyway.

[Hermit Crab]

The Rangers fans were chanting Hibees and Jet Skis don't go as well.

It’s a predictably childish response to a childish (and meritless by the way) act of provocation. Nothing else. None of them are children though, at least not outside the brain area.

By the way, when one of the flags was unfurled above us back to front and upside down it was a genuinely humorous moment met with a much more human reaction. Laughter. More of that would be good.

[Aim Here]

There were Glesca Polis filming the argument from the very back of the stand. Not sure whether anything will get done and I dunno if they were filming when the alleged attempted headbutt took place, but at least they did *something*.

I actually think the flag is really tasteless and I think the family of Lee Rigby would be quite annoyed that his name is being used in this way. However that's a problem for Rangers to address.

My concern is Hibs and the conduct of our supporters and I think the song is more sinister than simply just childish.

If this is the sort of nonsense we're going to be trotting out at these games then I'm out as I don't want associated with any of it.

The polis were fine today as far as I could see. I spoke to one of them and he was clearly exasperated. I’m no fan of them but Spider-Man couldn’t do much about the hysteria that goes on. Hard enough keeping an eye on thousands of nutters without policing the ****ing stewards as well!

[HibeeMassive]

Yep, I seen it also, was no more than 6 feet away from it. Went head to head with the young guy then clenched his fist and flinched it as if he was going to swing for him.

Was never going to hit him, purely done to wind up the boy. The young guy wasn’t even the one who he’d been having a bit of to and fro with, think it was the laddies dad who was in the row behind - who then went tonto after seeing the stewards actions towards his son.

Anyway, aye you’ve said about your disgust. It’s not for debate really. I don’t see the merit in over analysing the behaviours. They don’t all behave like this outside the match day so why during it.
People need to grow the **** up.

He is instigating violence at a football match, a place where people should feel safe when watching their team play football. With all the problems going on over the last year and the efforts to stop it, this guy really isn’t helping matters is he.

He’s getting paid to protect fans, not to cause a riot.

[The 90+2]

That will be the guy sacked then. He hardly ****in shot someone. If I was stewarding Easter Road against they ****s I would slyly get it up then too if we are winning. Too many precious souls, no danger this would have been an issue had we taken something today in fact the old geezer would have been mocked.

If he did that aggressively then he deserves to be told off, definitely. What if the boy he allegedly went face to face with said something offensive to the guy and he’s retaliated? Massive mock outrage mainly due to him being a hun and they skelped us.

[1648]

Not missed a game at Ibrox for a few years and today and witnessed some absolute I don’t know how to describe in our support. Not even watching the game. Iggy agree with u.

[Iggy Pope]

Having our own stewards at high profile games is an excellent suggestion Carheenlea. The OF do it and bus them in, why not Hibs. These Garrion ****ers don’t police the away Car Park At Ibrox, G4S do. Probably a good idea too as I wouldn’t fancy the chances of any of those yellow jacket plebs who were in front of me today if faced with a Car Park full of Hibs.

If you go to a football game as a steward working in front of a support where you know there is fierce rivalry- celebrating goals and wearing a teams shirt flaunting it about then you are asking for trouble.

The guy is instigating violence. Fact.

[Torto7]

They're Scotland's KKK. The dregs of society. Lovers of all thing supremacist.

They died in 2012 but the cowardice of the authorities(including our own) allowed the tribute act to continue to be a meeting point for the bigots in society.

If they don't win something this year and the sports direct situation sees their finances spiral out of control(fingers crossed) then there will be mayhem even worse than we've seen before.

[onthefence]

My 64 year old family member said he would struggle to attend another away game due to the younger generation of fans. He said to the left of the Hibs fans rangers had a Lee Rigby Banner and a miniorty sang about him in a disgusting manner. The next one was a song that sounded like the tune of fields of athenry with words about David gray which followed with “f*** the UDA in it” then he said an middle aged gentleman alone was singing about the 66 rangers fans not being enough that died he said he had a James connelly scarf on if that narrows it down.

Now I fully expect to take abuse for this even though I don’t feel I should. My family member has attended hibs games home and away for 50+ years and was deeply saddened to hear this today. According to him it was a minority and was the section where the drum was coming from.

(I posted this on what must have been the wrong thread and was told it was being discussed on this one already.)

You shouldn't get any abuse for this at all. I heard bits of the UDA song (as you say, to the tune of The Fields of Athenry) from some of the young team as they got off their bus and I just shook my head. Later on inside the ground, I then heard what I feared was the song about Lee Rigby. It seems that I did hear correctly.

Make no mistake, these chants are every bit as repulsive as the chants/songs that we criticise the huns for singing.

I'm going to give away games like this a miss from now on if that's what it's going to be like. No need for it at all.

[KDY Hibs]

Yes it’s a real shame if this is creeping into the song book. I go to maybe 4/5 Hibs games a season so not a lot but can say I’ve never heard this sort of thing before. Was shocked to hear of this today.

So after 50 years of supporting hibs your family member will struggle to go to games anymore based on a couple of songs today and that just happened to happen less than a month after joining up proclaiming to sit on the fence. Talk about timing! How’s that for a coincidence.

Also he said he will struggle to take himself to away games from now not ALL games.

[Pretty Boy]

The steward did go nose to nose with the Hibs fan not sure if there was a thrust of his head though, Police saw it and did nothing. I was directly in line with it albeit a few rows back and saw it clearly. There was also a Rangers fan, blue hat and white top with Union flag on it, who stood with his back to the game for 90 minutes getting in Hibs fans face. Again completely ignored. Another steward was moved away from the area just after kick off for mouthing off at Hibs fans.

On the flip side the songs about 'mind the stairs' and Lee Rigby are a ****ing disgrace and, minority or not, totally remove our ability to take any kind of moral high ground. If 700 Hibs fans can enjoy a few beers, watch the game and behave reasonably then there's no reason why 900 can't.

[Geo_1875]

Also he said he will struggle to take himself to away games from now not ALL games.

So after 50+ years following Hibs he must have suffered the same abuse and indignity we have endured in Glasgow for as long as I can remember. Suddenly a few Hibs fans being dicks has put him off?

Funny how its always only a minority of our support who sing these **** songs and yet this minority always seem to get tickets for Ibrox and the PBS when descent fans miss out.

I had the misfortune to be amongst some the younger fans below the singing section yesterday only to hear a few of the plebs sing about David Murray's disability. I'd be surprised if they even knew who he was.

I can't speak for others but what do I have to gain from lying about what I heard?

Rangers fans hung a banner over the stand about Lee Rigby, a handful of Hibs fans sang he '**** Lee Rigby, he won't be drumming anymore'. Some Rangers fans started leaving early, a handful of Hibs fans sang 'Union Bears, mind the stairs'. It would be a pretty sick thing to make up, almost as bad as actually singing it.

I can't stand the 'whataboutery' that exists in Scottish football. It's a key reason for nothing getting done about Sectarianism and other bigotry. 'Aye but the other lot are worse' is just a cop out. What we as a support and club can influence is our own fans behaviour and I have no time for anyone singing that crap. It's straight out the gutter and we should be dealing with it rather than pretending it didn't happen or excusing it because Rangers fans are worse.

[Sean1875]

Wasn't at the game yesterday but already know exactly who the chants would have been coming from, regularly seem to be at it on away days. Were singing about Fernando Ricksen outside the Wotherspoons in Livingston at the end of last season for some reason.

I can assure you some fans sung about Lee Rigby and some other ditty about the UDA to the tune of The Fields of Athenry. I personally didn't hear the songs about David Murray or the Union Bears but if it's the same people who sung the other songs then I have no reason to doubt these songs were sung.

I have absolutely nothing to gain by lying and I am not in the business of making things up. This is a public forum which is open to anyone to view so I've no doubt that non Hibs fans have read these posts. Why would I want the club I love dragged through the mud for the sake of posting a few made up rumours?

[j'adorehibs]

some of the young team are totally cringe worthy, In the row in front of me one lad about 18 basically stood and had interjections with rangers fans on the other side of the netting for the whole game, how the woman police officer standing right next to him managed to not punch him i'll never know he was so annoying. was sad watching our support crossing themselves, kissing st christophers/crosses , singing F the uda etc etc .

I was laughing at the guys blessing themselves. It's amazing how many seemingly devout Catholics appear in our support when we go to Ibrox. I was at 9.30 Mass on Sunday morning before the game yet didn't feel the need to bless myself at a football match a few hours later. I wonder how many of those doing so where also present at Mass at some point over the weekend.......

The song about the UDA was a pretty decent attempt at song about cup final, but why they thought adding that would give to it !!!
Never heard the stairs song, but Lee Rigby, Ricksen and David Murray songs were sung 😡

You’d need to have been blind not to see the fools giving it all the imagery. I did suggest to one of them he had to wise up on which shoulder he should touch first whilst making the sign of the cross but filming the **** on my phone? Nah.

There’s not too many allegations flying about on here either. 900 witnesses were there to most of this *****. Wind up merchandising seems to be something we are good at though.

[.Sean.]

What a bunch of fannies

[CMurdoch]

Have to agree with that, and it applies to both sets of supports.

I actually have a feeling that the idiots in the Hibs support are part of some organised group. There's a large group of younger pretendy casuals, and a small group of older guys that join in with them. They sing songs about the Ibrox disaster, the queen, the 'Ra' and whatever else they think can possibly offend, cross themselves and wave tricolours in the direction of the home fans.

There was also some much older (maybe about 60 y/o), fat, gray-haired fan-dan in Row M wearing an Irish Rebel scarf and constantly shouting something like 'Go home British *********s'

The older guys are the young guys very creepy groomers.
The Gary Glitters of Easter Road if you will.
There should a law against it :wink:

[SideBurns]

It'd be sad in the extreme if we have a group of fans determined to be a mirror image of the Jambo junior billy boys who embarrass the decent number in the Hearts support.

The 'Mrs Mercer' song that sprung up last season was bad enough; if they've added songs about Ricksen, Rigby etc they've reached new depths.

Are you saying I'm a liar?

How about this as an idea; you go to Ibrox next time and find out for yourself..... or at least listen to those of us that have actually been and are sickened by the behaviour of a group of so-called Hibs 'Supporters'.

[Keith_M]

... then he said an middle aged gentleman alone was singing about the 66 rangers fans not being enough that died he said he had a James connelly scarf on if that narrows it down.



I had the misfortune to be standing a few feet away from that pillock in the first half.

I actually think it's time for decent fans to have a campaign of some kind to get this stopped.

I made my feelings heard last time we went to Ibrox but was on my own and threatened with violence for my trouble.

If the decent parts of our support got together and made it clear that they're not wanted, that would help.

[Greenbeard]

That will be the guy sacked then. He hardly ****in shot someone. If I was stewarding Easter Road against they ****s I would slyly get it up then too if we are winning. Too many precious souls, no danger this would have been an issue had we taken something today in fact the old geezer would have been mocked.
Aye very good. In which case you'd be due the boot too. Stewards are there to do a job. I don't think winding up visiting fans will be written into their remit - unless strictly as something NOT to do.

It’s probably one of the reasons I don’t work as a steward then isn’t it?

Stewards are there to do a job, many of a time they do it badly. This is only a major thing because of the result yesterday and the steward in question instead of being ripped if we won has got a reaction because of the drubbing.

The songs are deplorable. Interested to know too what your acquaintances might make of the ICF Huns attaching themselves to his name for the the purposes of provocation. Not whataboutery. Just interested as I don’t think he was a Rangers fan and his name is getting thumped about and that’s tragic.

Was clearly unfurled as an act of provocation - not that anyone really gave a **** tbh. After that they then had a para's flag with soldier F supporters or some pish written across it (Feel for Rigby's and his family - hope soldier F dies a lonely old man in jail FWIW)

I said as much as that on this thread yesterday though. I’m wondering what the military types you spoke about might make of his name being used like it is, that’s why I asked. To me, it’s to be condemned, removed. The singing has already been condemned. Like I said, I’m not totting up. The whole situation yesterday was embarrassing, farcical, stupid. I hate the Huns and I must have been to Ibrox 50 or 70 times I’ve no idea, but yesterday I came away thinking the whole 90 minute event there has passed me by. Not sure I’ll be back there soon. And if any of these bams in our support sat near me at ER I would be getting something done. But I doubt they behave like that anywhere except Ibrox or Tynecastle.

You expect that nonsense from them! Just don't want our support stooping to there levels

[.Sean.]

There’s a tiny, tiny minority who seem determined to turn us into a mini Celtic, had a falling out on a Facebook page a few weeks back and was rounded upon by a few of them as I had the audacity to question their IRA crap that was being pedalled under a Hibs name on the page.

Apparently ‘my type’ isn’t welcome at Easter Road. Not welcome at Easter Road even though I’ve followed Hibs for 25 year, as I have no real interest in 19th century Irish politics and I don’t want to hear Celtic party songs at games :hilarious

You do realise theres no such thing now? Officers can be drafted from anywhere to police matches now.

Police Scotland is a cryptic crossword clue for Glesca Polis

They are still "typical Glesca polis"
That will never change even if the title does.
Led by Chief Inspector Oanyerway.assited by Sgt Nickem.

And the majority policing games in Glasgow wil be drawn from the Greater Glasgow area.

I dont imagine Govan Polis station commander phoning Wick or Thurso to request some plods for the Sevco V Hibernian game.



They are still riled at SDG scoring so late, that it screwed up their plans for that night in Govan.
As it turned out, they came back to Hampden Park on horses to give us a guard of honour during our Anthem:greengrin

I’ve remarked on this thread already, the polis were fine yesterday. There was no polis issue yesterday that I seen. And I’ve seen a few.

[CMurdoch]

My own experience of the Hibs away support is that it contains two distinct groups.
The first group is the folk who love football and supporting Hibs in particular. They are driven to see every Hibs game they can. They are all ages, men and women of every background who live all things Hibs. I love speaking to most of these folk and feel a real kinship with them. They are everything that is positive about supporting your team.

The second group tend to be far less interested in football and Hibs and much more interested in themselves. In real life they are no marks and Hibs away games are an opportunity to group together with other losers and draw attention to themselves in any way they can. They cause nausea for any poor sod who lives in the area and is unfortunate enough to come across them as they make their way to and from the game, peeing in inappropriate places as they go. At the stadium they tend to miss much of the game and can be seen pointing, gesticulating and at a couple of games a season waving a flag at their fellow halfwits in the opposing support. They also like to sing the most obnoxious attention seeking songs they can think of, a bit like when you were 9 and thought you would impress your mates and get their approval by swearing a lot. I wish these guys mothers had paid them more attention so that they didn't have to seek the approval of other unfortunate adults with the same issues whilst in the presence of the first group above.

I don't go to Ibroke anymore, can't think of anything worse. No way of keeping away from a'holes.
Rangers a'holes above you and Hibs a'holes near you. No escape.
Makes me think of the Stealers Wheel song which you will know.

"A'holes to the left of me
A'holes to the right
Here I Am
Stuck in the Middle of Turnip Heids"

The easiest way for Hibs to weed out these morons is for the club to send representatives to gather evidence of unacceptable behaviour at away games, thereafter identify those involved and then inform them they are banned from Easter Road and cancel their season tickets. No need to involve the courts. Simply banned as folk are from pubs when they are dicks.

As a bonus the bottle/flare throwers etc are probably from the same group, so in one simple swoop our club could quickly and easily rid itself of our most embarrassing and tedious attention seekers.
At that point we could then get on our moral high horse and complain with confidence about the supporters of the blue, green hooped and maroon teams.

I was at the match yesterday and never saw the trouble though I was aware of an "incident" near the front I never had a clue what it was about. I also never heard any of the songs our supporters were meant to be singing so can only assume that it was a very small minority.

On a separate point I noted that they didn't really indulge in sectarian singing apart from one Follow, Follow which petered out when the naughty words were due.

I was right up the back on the left hand side of our support.
