The young team

[spikeymike]

Today was a total disgrace by the so called young team....they sung their song s a plenty which was commendable. But songs about the uda and Wallace Mercer's wife!!!! It's time they got a life or get to f@&k. Majority of them aren't even old enough to know what went on during those dark days in the 80s. Support the team as vocal as you can but grow up guys or go and support the Huns or the lesser greens if you have that attitude . Never mind hecky gtf how about you lot gtf. Sorry if the comments are a bit over the top but these morons are dragging our support down never mind our teams performances which are bad enough at the moment

[lord bunberry]

It’s just young boys doing what young boys do. Like everyone else they’ll grow out of it.

[we are hibs]

Another thread slating the fans. Good stuff :rolleyes:

[spikeymike]

I'm afraid these guys aren't fans singing those songs

[Carheenlea]

Young men on a boozy day out with mates will sing offensive songs - been happening as long as I can remember. They travel in good numbers and will grow out of it - great that they are choosing to support Hibs around the country, particularly in troubled times, but it’s something that just goes with the territory really. It’s not exclusive to Hibs.

[Fife-Hibee]

It’s just young boys doing what young boys do. Like everyone else they’ll grow out of it.

We should help them grow out of it faster with a good clip around the lugs. I was a "young boy" once, but never belted out such crap.

[Scottie]

Another thread slating the fans. Good stuff :rolleyes:
I strongly agree with the OP.

We are a community club not a ******g subsidiary of the ugly sisters if you want to sing that sort of ***** gtf as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah the Huns and Sellick fans will grow out of it too :confused:

Just like all the young old firm fans will grow out of it?? If the fans tolerate the behaviour it will grow untill it was like before

What...so singing this stuff shouldn't be commented on?

[Hermit Crab]

I agree with OP.

This is what they were signing about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_Defence_Association

Now what the f@@k has that got to do with football, or Hibs for that matter? The Mercers wife stuff is also horrendous.

The rangers just got done for singing songs of a similar nature...:rolleyes:

[Carheenlea]

They have a bigger problem than us admittedly. Good thing surely that our fans are largely well behaved and it’s a hundred or so young lads that lower the tone occasionally. A few unsavoury songs is the least of our concerns right now.

I agree, the Mercer stuff is brutal.

[gazathehibby]

We all know boys will be boys but if our Supporters are lowering ourselves to these other so called Supporters, then why are we complaining to the sfa about Rangers & Celtic. so is it the case boys will be boys and grow out of it. Still waiting on the other teams supporters growing up.
It’s hard enough going to watch the game just now without listening to to these songs.

Stop being a drama queen. They’re just daft young laddies.

[Sir David Gray]

If it's anything like the stuff they were singing at Ibrox a few weeks ago then it shouldn't be ignored.

Yes they were **** the UDA were the chants amongst other lyrics.

I was still considering myself as being relatively young.

You had to ruin it with the Wikipedia link that correctly states that I'm older than the UDA..

I’m sure plenty of older huns make the same argument about their younger guys singing the billy boys etc, presume that’s cool with you too?

Had this argument at ibrox. They need to stop singing this pish. They are in the minority by doing so, therefore how can they then complain that other people don't join in. Frankly they are an embarresment. Mrs Mercer, Lee rigby, uda, the Queen,Stokes da, Why you feel the need to sing about any of the above at a hibs match is beyond me. The argument that they travel to all the games, so that gives them some sort of right to do what they want doesn't fly with me. There's plenty of us that go to support home and away who's preference is, that they pack it in.

[flash]

Just adds to the missile throwing and pitch invading from last season.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Of course they shouldn't be singing about Mercer's wife or the UDA - it's cringeworthy stuff - but get a group of young laddies together at football after a few beers and you are going to get the peacock behaviour. It happens at every club without exception. They will grow out of it one day, then the next generation will take their place with daft songs. Unless the club can identify them, I'm not sure what can be done. Strict liability would help i.e. damaging the club might make them see sense.

Picking them up is a start, they don't like it but hey ho. "being young" doesn't sit well with me as an excuse. It borders on the edge of justification that the old firm use to defend their actions

This type of thing is not acceptable at our club. Stop or GTF!

[Torto7]

I'm struggling to give a crap about this. Its tasteless in the Mercer case and pointless with the UDA stuff but I've sung my fair share of dodgy songs at that age and never got pulled up for it or threatened on messageboards from 'hardmen' in their 40s/50s.

There's some namby pamby balloons in the Hibs support who would be better suited to the book festival or an afternoon playing bowls.

That is very true, and I wish it was different, but I think the two issues are completely separate.

I do wish more of our supporters would try to get behind the team. Im a bit old and past it but do try to sing at games. I often get people staring, as if its something wierd, and hardly anybody else joins in.

Overall, our Support is a bit boring

Wow 😊😊😊 So it’s ok in your book to sing nasty songs about people’s loved ones who have passed?
It’s ok to be singing sectarian songs that the vast majority of our supporters absolutely deplore and are actively trying to get the Scottish football authorities to act against the two main culprit clubs in Scotland like UEFA have done recently?

Where did I say I was O.k with it? I'm just not getting myself worked up about about a bunch of teens singing what they think are edgy songs. We're not the old firm it really is a tiny minority at hibs.

The behaviours it tried to target are pretty unique to football crowds, unfortunately.

[Antifa Hibs]

906 away fans yesterday. 30 fans singing made more noise than the rest combined. If the other 876 fans got of their ***** and backed the team vocally with Hibs tunes then you wouldn't hear them (I include myself in that).

Generally speaking our away support is like our home support, boring and pretty dreadful. Take out Ibrox (when getting a result) and Tynie and its dire. Newcastle fans were more up for it in a friendly than we will be all season (barring Hertz away).

[wearethehibs]

Aye some of the songs were embarrassing, especially the one about Scott Allan turning Rangers down 😂.

There was one line in one song "**** the UDA". Aye it shouldn't be sung but folk are talking like it was 90 minutes of offensive chanting.

It's also embarrassing when these lads try to get Hibs songs going and 90% of the support site on their arse in silence.

I'm all for fans vocally backing the team through thick and thin and not turning to negative chanting, turning on our own players etc...but I'd rather the fans were dead silent than sing this kind of stuff.

so yes, it would be great if the other fans drowned them out, but that doesn't mean that their actions should be glossed over.

also, the reason our away fans are crap is because the team are crap. again, 100% back the notion of the fans being the 12th man and trying to boost the team's performance, but the fact is we're racing down a very demoralising hill on the pitch, and the fans will almost always reflect that.

Its not like they are singing about someone's sweet old Granny who every one loved or some well respected pillar of the community who worked tirelessly for charity and helped orphans. No. We're talking about Wallace Mercer, the egotistical maniac who tried to put us out of business. I for one am happy to tell all the hearts I know, Wallace Mercer is deid and we're no.

Agree his wife should be left out of it and there is no place for sectarian nonsence

[GREEN WARLORD]

Everyone should start booing when they sing those songs or start singing something else.

Do you not think there's enough booing in the stadium, without keeping these wee fuds in check?

This singing will result in fans fighting amongst themselves,more bad publicity for the club, surely the supporters reps can get this brought up at board level and some kind of statement can be issued, if not we will get numerous threads on this and people wanting to fight each other on here

[tmb1875]

All this fake outrage is embarrassing!
What we talking about here, a few guys sing f*** the uda, hope mercer died in pain and mrs mercer has a dildo in her drawer.
You’ve got grown men frothing at the mouth because they heard a few bad boys sing a few bad things and it hurt there feelings.
Mercer was a blood sucking Tory b****** that tried to bury our club and the working class and the uda were a gang of sectarian murderers.
Both deserve anything that comes there way.

You ever sung we hate Jam tarts and we hate Dundee?
Hypocrisy of some folk.
What I find far worse and totally unacceptable is the folk shouting and swearing at the players, Your not going to stop people doing this or singing what they want, the more you try the louder they get. You either shut your ears or sing another song louder. The individuals
chucking bottles and running into the pitch, you ban these folk when they do it problem solved.

I Never really post on this but sick of seeing the “young team” getting pelters by some self righteous f******. Which young team are you referring to btw? Any hibs fan under the age of 30 fair game? Get a grip support your fellow fans there’s enough people in the game knocking the fans. Hibs means a lot of things to a lot of people, it’s the one thing we all got in common.

I think UDA comes from the pseudo small Republican following. UDA terrorised and murdered innocent Catholics as well as Republicans and are upholders of the Northern Irish sectarian state. They are more repugnant than Mercer but as you say no place in a Hibs song book.

[Time For Heroes]

Mercer was a prick, no arguement from me their, but singing about his death and wife is brutal.
Would the same people condoning such actions be fine if the shoe was on the other foot?
What if a hibs player/manager/chairman passed away and they sung similar songs? Would that be ok, double standards imo.
It's not needed at football grounds, we have a big enough song book without this stuff.

[CloudSquall]

The singing about the UDA is cringe worthy stuff, especially given the probability that 0% of the singers have any connection to Ireland and have probably never been.

Correct, sing Hibs songs and not pish about troubles in NI.

What we talking about here, a few guys sing f*** the uda, hope mercer died in pain and mrs mercer has a dildo in her drawer.
You’ve got grown men frothing at the mouth because they heard a few bad boys sing a few bad things and it hurt there feelings.
Mercer was a blood sucking Tory b****** that tried to bury our club and the working class and the uda were a gang of sectarian murderers.
Both deserve anything that comes there way.

You ever sung we hate Jam tarts and we hate Dundee?
Hypocrisy of some folk.
What I find far worse and totally unacceptable is the folk shouting and swearing at the players, Your not going to stop people doing this or singing what they want, the more you try the louder they get. You either shut your ears or sing another song louder. The individuals
chucking bottles and running into the pitch, you ban these folk when they do it problem solved.

I Never really post on this but sick of seeing the “young team” getting pelters by some self righteous f******. Which young team are you referring to btw? Any hibs fan under the age of 30 fair game? Get a grip support your fellow fans there’s enough people in the game knocking the fans. Hibs means a lot of things to a lot of people, it’s the one thing we all got in common.


Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkAw well let’s just sing **** the IRA aswell then, as they’re also bigoted murderers. Or does sectarianism only work one way?

Get this ***** out the club.

[Sammy7nil]

I'm struggling to give a crap about this. Its tasteless in the Mercer case and pointless with the UDA stuff but I've sung my fair share of dodgy songs at that age and never got pulled up for it or threatened on messageboards from 'hardmen' in their 40s/50s.

There's some namby pamby balloons in the Hibs support who would be better suited to the book festival or an afternoon playing bowls.

As they these days wow. So because you were not pulled up about singing poor taste songs it is okay? As for telling other fans what to do ie bowling dear oh dear.


906 away fans yesterday. 30 fans singing made more noise than the rest combined. If the other 876 fans got of their ***** and backed the team vocally with Hibs tunes then you wouldn't hear them (I include myself in that).

Generally speaking our away support is like our home support, boring and pretty dreadful. Take out Ibrox (when getting a result) and Tynie and its dire. Newcastle fans were more up for it in a friendly than we will be all season (barring Hertz away).

So you are claiming to be boring and pretty dreadful there is a .net first :greengrin


Its not like they are singing about someone's sweet old Granny who every one loved or some well respected pillar of the community who worked tirelessly for charity and helped orphans. No. We're talking about Wallace Mercer, the egotistical maniac who tried to put us out of business. I for one am happy to tell all the hearts I know, Wallace Mercer is deid and we're no.

Agree his wife should be left out of it and there is no place for sectarian nonsence

Dearie dear,

It appears you think long and hard before you post so it is somewhat surprising you think this is okay. Yes it is a small minority of young guys who in time will learn but to say it is fake outrage is just silly.

What about the boy that shouted at Broonie is that okay ? After all it is just a young boy we should ignore it and he will grow out of it. Of course it is not okay and whilst no one should be thrown under a bus the error of their ways should always be highlighted.

Couldn't agree more. Embarrassing that songs are sung which encourages the comparison of mini old firm game when really it is nothing of the sort. Seems like a competition between Hibs and Hearts 15 years olds to see who can outdo each other in the stupidity stakes.

Yup. We are quite rightly deeply unhappy when Rantic ship up & sing their sectarian songs of hate & bile, why on earth anyone can think it's okay when some of our own fans do it is beyond me. And excusing it due to youth and/or having the IQ of a deck chair doesn't cut it.
The children need to cut it out, along with anyone encouraging them.

"Singing sectarian songs or songs about dead people is utterly disgusting and should be stamped out of the game. Why do the authorities let Celtic and Rangers get away with it? ..Ehhhh, unless it's Hibs. Then it's just a laugh, get over it, no one can take a joke nowdays etc."

Following a football team can be a wonderful thing but the hyperpartisanship involved (especially up here) and downright hypocrisy can be exhausting. If you want to sing about ***** has has zero revelance to us then go to Parkhead.

I’ll give this a stab on behalf of those that don’t want sick and sectarian songs sung amongst our support:

Yes I have sung “we hate hearts and we hate Dundee”. I can’t see that anyone seriously thinks this song equates to songs about an elderly woman keeping a dildo in her drawer due to her husband dying of cancer over a decade ago. Nor is it the same as getting involved in anything to do with Irish politics.

Anyone under 30 fair game to criticise? Nah just those singing/shouting sectarian, homophobic and generally sick songs/shouts while representing our support. And no, I won’t support “my fellow fans” when they get pulled up for this sort of thing.

Frothing at the mouth I don’t think any of us are. I’m not even offended. It’s just annoying and embarrassing for our club. Of course it’s a minority of young laddies - but people are absolutely right to call them out early doors. If we’re willing to turn a blind eye to this (or start having a go at people for “false outrage”) I might as well forget the very reasons I hate the old firm.

People shouting at the players is not far worse than the above.

And just because we’re ***** on the field just now doesn’t mean these sort of issues shouldn’t be addressed or commented on.

Being daft doesn’t make it acceptable to sing these hate filled songs ...they should **** right off

Exactly. To my mind the Mercer song is just as bad as the "How's your sister?" comment made to Scott Brown at Ibrox. And as for the paramilitary stuff - I've spent my whole life telling folk in the West of Scotland that we are not just like Celtic - and then these clueless fuds claiming to be Hibs fans start singing crap like that....

[Keith_M]

If said chairman had single-handedly tried to end hearts as a football club, then it'd be fair game IMO.


And his wife, an innocent old woman? Fair game as well?

I'm all favour of singing ***** the UDA and the IRA, if they include both sides.

Thats where we differ bud, each to their own and all that but some things are bigger than football.
Someone dying of cancer is bad enough, to happily sing about the victims wife having a dildo in her drawer is really grim.

Are you serious!? Regardless of what he did, the song is disgusting and most Hibs fans are ashamed and embarrassed to hear it being sung. What did his family do to deserve this? How would you feel if fans were singing this about your father or grandfather, mother or grandmother? I despair at the ignorant stupudity displayed on here sometimes.

Well said Paisley Hibby. These songs about Mercer & his widow are shameful. I’d like to think you’re right in saying most Hibs fans are embarrassed by them but it doesn’t look that way when playing them at Tiny... and it’s not just the young team either belting out this piish.

Songs about the UDA are also lame. No idea why they’ve been resurrected now. Maybe it makes the singers feel hard and a bit rebellious but I’m sure there’s better ways of strutting their stuff to pretend they’re really tough guys?

The old I.E.C Hibs bus only played Republican songs on its travels,anyone getting on were made well aware of this,however this did not deter folk, and to my best recollection no one ever refused to get on it,however this was back in the late 80,s early 90,s and I would imagine most of them like myself have grown out of it or know it,s wrong thing to be doing these days.Hopefullu the folk doing it now will see the error of their ways and realise if your sympathys lie this way then best to keep it private and well away from the fitba. As for the Mercer song/s they are cringeworthy, guy was a prick but why should his family be derided?

A stonking return to form from the Major. I read a post elsewhere from you that didn't have me thinking "wtf is he on about" and I was worried you were you losing your touch.

The point, I feel, that you're missing is that it's no longer then 70's, as much as we'd all love a return to power cuts and the 3 day working week, and most probably some of these newly christened sanctimonious *******s WERE in the stands with you in the 70's and I daresay sung some rather non PC tunes but have, unlike you it would seem, grown up and moved with the times.

The Mercer song at Tynecastle is dull and tiresome, rather like the Yams themselves oddly, but will always be sung I suspect as hatred will always be higher in the agenda of some fans than supporting the team on the pitch.

But songs about his wife and now the UDA ( :confused: ) can get right to ****.

[Biggie]

Jesus, hope no-one from the SFA looks in on message boards or they'll be ready to haul a couple of singers out the crowd at our next game and before you know it Hibs will be made an example of for sectarian singing.
30,000 do it every week in Glasgow, nothing done, 500 do it in the Hibs end...we'd get slaughtered.

We really need to leave these songs back in the 70's......as others have said, the Hibs songbook is broad enough to avoid us regurgitating that nonsense about mercers wife and the like.
Stop embarrassing us !

[cookin_on_gaz]

I guess one way to combat this would be people filming the ones singing these utterly detestable songs and posting it on here. Then name and shame them and shop them to the police. After a few weeks and a few banning orders we will go back to being a support that we can be proud of.

Mercer song or anything to do with the **** (hope that’s okay to call the guy) should have been banished when we won the cup and went completely full circle.

Totally agree. It seems to me that there is a desperate need for some people to drag up some relevance for themselves by promoting hate and it’s not just our fans. It’s desperately sad that they don’t get the idea that the best thing for both team and supporters is to actually SUPPORT the team.

Come on guys you’ve got some terrific songs that get behind the team and lift the support. There seems to be genuine movement across the whole country in trying to rid itself of sectarianism. Let’s just join in and drop the bile and hate. Leave that to the dinosaurs at other clubs.

Singing about anybody's wife is ***** chat and lower than a snake's belly but if you momentarily enter the headspace of the rockets that think it's fair game, compare Wallace Mercer and what he did in life as far as Hibs go vs Ricksen and what he did in life as far as Hibs go and it's not rocket science to see the difference. A non-entity of an excuse IMO but we have our fair share of incorrigible ********s in our support regrettably.

[Keith_M]

Maybe we should start an 'Old Team' singing section, and sing songs without the aid of the drum.

A lot of the songs the young guys sing are difficult to join in with, as they sing them too quickly* or in time with the drum... which makes them sound a bit out of sync.





* Getting things over with too quickly is probably a general problem with young guys, hence the need for some more mature guys that take their time and make it last. The same goes for singing as well..............

[Scouse Hibee]

People who sing about dead folk while relatives who can be offended are still alive are **** in my opinion. I couldn’t care less who they are or what they have done or tried to do either.

"Singing sectarian songs or songs about dead people is utterly disgusting and should be stamped out of the game. Why do the authorities let Celtic and Rangers get away with it? ..Ehhhh, unless it's Hibs. Then it's just a laugh, get over it, no one can take a joke nowdays etc."

Following a football team can be a wonderful thing but the hyperpartisanship involved (especially up here) and downright hypocrisy can be exhausting. If you want to sing about ***** has has zero revelance to us then go to Parkhead.


I’ll give this a stab on behalf of those that don’t want sick and sectarian songs sung amongst our support:

Yes I have sung “we hate hearts and we hate Dundee”. I can’t see that anyone seriously thinks this song equates to songs about an elderly woman keeping a dildo in her drawer due to her husband dying of cancer over a decade ago. Nor is it the same as getting involved in anything to do with Irish politics.

Anyone under 30 fair game to criticise? Nah just those singing/shouting sectarian, homophobic and generally sick songs/shouts while representing our support. And no, I won’t support “my fellow fans” when they get pulled up for this sort of thing.

Frothing at the mouth I don’t think any of us are. I’m not even offended. It’s just annoying and embarrassing for our club. Of course it’s a minority of young laddies - but people are absolutely right to call them out early doors. If we’re willing to turn a blind eye to this (or start having a go at people for “false outrage”) I might as well forget the very reasons I hate the old firm.

People shouting at the players is not far worse than the above.

And just because we’re ***** on the field just now doesn’t mean these sort of issues shouldn’t be addressed or commented on.


Exactly. To my mind the Mercer song is just as bad as the "How's your sister?" comment made to Scott Brown at Ibrox. And as for the paramilitary stuff - I've spent my whole life telling folk in the West of Scotland that we are not just like Celtic - and then these clueless fuds claiming to be Hibs fans start singing crap like that....

Nothing, in terms of wives. Mercer's wife and family should be left well alone at all times; it's inexcusable. Mercer himself is fair game for vitriol, but leave his wife out of it.

[Paisley Hibby]

OK, I'll try:

1. The mercer song doesn't even belong "in the pubs", it's out of order full stop.

2. WTAF does Fernando Ricksen have to do with this? Even if somebody else mentioned him, using him as some kind of comparison is utterly crass.

3. It doesn't matter how badly somebody has behaved; singing that kind of **** about a guy's widow will never be justified.

I think a few folk missed the point I made, including yourself. I specifically asked the hypothetical question about the folk that DO sing about Mercer’s wife and whether they would find songs about Ricksens wife wrong and if so what the difference was. I never made any comparison between Ricksen and Mercer.

Some of the songs being sung by this group are out of order. It's not about being vocal or excusing it because they're young or whatever. I'm quite happy to hear clever songs that offend the opposition in a football sense.

However songs about Fernando Ricksen, the Ibrox Disaster, Wallace Mercer's wife, Lee Rigby and the UDA are a disgrace and have no place inside a football stadium.

Anyone who continues to sing any of the above, regardless of age, should be banned from Easter Road.

[FilipinoHibs]

No I am not justifying the song. But a number of posters stated that Mercer's wife regularly defended the takeover. Others said they had not seen it. I am providing evidence that the wife and family have regularly defended the takeover and they all looked to be on on constructing the takeover. They are far from innocent parties. I don't mind songs about Thatcher and her husband Dennis. Both not innocent parties either.

The second article doesn’t defend the takeover..even the first talks about their view of the vision , but isn’t an out and out endorsement ....

Id summarise they had nothing to do with the takeover - families
Might know what’s going on - but it was a business transaction...I imagine his kids were young at the time...”not innocent parties” seems quite an unfair statement.

A family statement that came because the EEN had approached them. As far as I can tell they would have stayed silent but for the journos. Do you really expect them not to support their Dad or Husband at that time. No excuse for songs about Mercer's wife as far as I am concerned and it is most certainly in the same ball park as some of the other incidents mentioned on this thread. IThe song is also more likely to split our support than do any damage to their playing staff or support so it is in a sense anti-Hibs in a bizarre way. Just grow up. Disclaimer when I was a teenager I got drunk and sung stupid songs too. I get why it happens but in no way does it make it right or acceptable. Just some wee Bams trying to be Alpha gorilla

I’m a ‘proddy’ as are probably the majority of Hibs fans. Pretty sure Scotty doesn’t hate us. Not sure he ‘turned down’ Tangers either. Think it was the club that turned them down and Scotty would’ve signed for them in a heart beat. Just an awful song.

Obviously a mistake as the songs getting started and drummed along to were embarrassing at times.

Hopefully a lesson learnt

[theonlywayisup]

As someone said previously, we were all young once.

I recall from the 80s, the chant whenever any young lady ventured onto the pitch "get your t**s out for the boys". And no, it's not toes. I personally didn't sing it, but there was always much hilarity when it was.

Or when someone from the opposition team went down injured (in these days real men got up straight away), the fans would chant "dig a grave, dig a grave......".

I also recall one Irish sounding guy at a Hibs - Rangers game shouting "get into these Church of Scotland *******". Thankfully, he got shouted down straight away. Maybe that's what needed is some self policing at games, not moaning about it on .net.

Horrific patter. Can see why folk may think it was Since 1875 because at away games folk crowd round the group, but can absolutely confirm it wasn't anyone involved in the group or displays. Certainly wouldn't hear those songs if you stood in Section 25 for a match.

[Chuck Rhoades]

I know for a fact its not the 15-20 or so members of Since 1875. Although I am sure everyone has their moments! They could however help matters by distancing themselves. Easier said than done. I think the youngest person involved in Since 1875 is 18 with average age in mid/late 20s. This nonsense comes from the crèche.

Noticed a big difference in demographic since moving back to East this season. A much higher average age!

I know for a fact its not the 15-20 or so members of Since 1875. Although I am sure everyone has their moments! They could however help matters by distancing themselves. Easier said than done. I think the youngest person involved in Since 1875 is 18 with average age in mid/late 20s. This nonsense comes from the crèche.

Noticed a big difference in demographic since moving back to East this season. A much higher average age!



so, in this order we have

the auld team
the young team
the creche team

Another benefit of strict liability is it would either shut up or get rid of this element of our support.

The day we become a mini Celtic is the day I stop attending. Thankfully it seems to be a genuine minority and not an "Old Firm minority".

Three or four idiots does not constitute an element of our support.

[Sir David Gray]

I don't care how old these clowns are, this nonsense needs nipped in the bud now.

Either get them to stop this garbage or else get them out of the support.

Your best bet is pulling them up at the match, rather than nipping it on here where they probably dont see.

How would you imagine how 20 boys and a drummer being pulled up about their songs at the match would go down - a polite discussion ensues ?

The best response would be for the other fans to out sing them with a Hibs song ....


Ps. I feel the religious oriented songs do damage to our clubs reputation so don’t like them at all..

The same group do great versions of turnbull tornadoes. Top notch that

[cmcd]

It’s just young boys doing what young boys do. Like everyone else they’ll grow out of it.

Would you be saying that if it was you're family they were singing about

[The 90+2]

What Hibs fans families are they singing about like?

I totally agree I wasn't trying to say that we will eradicate this problem by chatting about it on here. The way forward is for the majority to join together by telling these people that these songs are not welcome and if they choose to ignore that then their details should be passed on to the club.

What about the starting “shut up, or we’ll Wallace you”*?

Valid point.

And more singers wouldn’t go a miss. ER is dead.

We survived, he died do da doo da

It rhymes now.

I bet you half the people moaning about this did not even attend the game and think they have the right to say these guys are not fans. If you have a problem with what they are singing sing over them do something other than comming on the internet and being a keyboard warrior. For some reason .netters seem to think they are a higher brand of Hibs fans.

How exactly do .netters think they are a higher brand of Hibs fan?

Anyone that sings some of the stuff bring spouted recently is definitely a lower brand of human being, if you or they don’t like that being pointed out to them then maybe they should stop singing such drivel.

Yup I always tried to shout down the refugee song by pointing Hibs were formed by refugees.

I was at the game, as is obvious by my post. I did shout and boo at the bigoted chants and laughed at the Hibs.net chants, from my seat 30/40 feet away. What do you think would happen if I left my seat and approached the group? Yes they are fans, idiotic, embarrassing and out of order fans.

:faf:

If you're suggesting that I believe that I might be a higher brand of Hibs fan than people who are engaging in sectarian songs and singing songs mocking disasters and people with terminal illnesses then I would say you are absolutely correct.

I wasn't there on Wednesday but I was at the game at Ibrox last month when they were singing very similar songs.

Hope that's ok with you.

It’s quite simple really, as much as 99.99999% of us will agree about the UDA being ****bags, we don’t want to hear Hibs supporters singing sectarian nonsense, nor do we want to be seen to be tolerating the equally ****my IRA for instance, neither do we want to seen as some cringey, embarrassing wannabe wee Celtic.

I went 10 ish years from 16 to when I started working weekends over the last few years and you’re lucky if I missed 15/20 away games in that time (and yes I’ll have sung a rake of close to the bone stuff, but never anything sectarian), so fairly sure I’m more than qualified to give my opinion. Yes, going to Rugby Park on a Wednesday night qualifies you as a Hibs supporter but if folk want to sing garbage about Irish militant groups then you’d be more suited going to watch one of the Glaswegian clubs that tolerate that Neanderthal, knuckle dragging pish.

Quite embarrassing how much a certain element are determined for us to be seen as Celtics wee cousins. The vast majority of us couldn’t care less about singing sectarian crap or Irish politics here I’m afraid. That’s no being easily offended or a snowflake as believe you me I’m as far removed from that as you can get, just a case of not wanting lumped in beside Old Firm gluebag bigots who lap up that *****
