Best behaviour on Sunday. *This is not a drill*

[Mr. Wonderful]

I, like many other hibees, do love a bit of Derby "banter" and have enjoyed partaking in many a (perhaps) frowned upon chant over the years.

However, its perhaps unfortunate that the Edinburgh Derby now faces the spotlight post Old Firm game and the subsequent arrests, fall outs and twitter 'grassing' that has followed.

Make no mistake, the Sevco fans are on the defensive and are looking to lash out in their most current war of one upsmanship and tar more football supporters with the same brush in an effort to cloud over their own behaviour once again.

I call upon my fellow Hibs fans, and even Hearts fans on this Derby day, let's not give them any excuse to drag the Edinburgh Derby down with them.

Be ferocious, be loud and support your team as you always do but let's not give anyone an excuse to drag us down into the dirt with them. This is a them problem, and they well know it.

Thing is, it's not, not entirely at least. If it was you'd have no grounds to make this OP. The brain deid dipsticks on both sides will be pished and coked out their tits as was ever the case.

Does the Edinburgh Derby really have enough of a history of abhorrent fan behaviour to merit a lecture from our own fans as to how to conduct ourself?

Hibs fans will be the usual at Tynecastle - enjoying the day out and will be in good voice if we are winning. A few will be a under the influence of alcohol/coke/etc and the language might not be family friendly, but not one person in the Roseburn end will care one jot what Rangers fans or anyone else thinks of us.

There is no reputation that precedes us that should cause anyone any concern.

There will be 50-100 wee Neds all coked up singing Republican songs and anything they can fit the word Paedo into. They'll chuck smoke bombs act like idiots and frankly I don't care what the papers say i want them nowhere near a Hibs support

You’re exaggerating how badly behaved they are and they generate most of the atmosphere of the away hibs support.

Not from my experience, they are exactly how I describe them particularly at Tiny. It is a fairly new thing too and was nowhere near as bad when we were giving Hearts money spinning replays and the Hibs end was absolutely bouncing. I suspect they weren't old enough to attend at that point. No need for some coke up bairns for a good atmosphere at Tiny

I’m sure he’s on about the rumours of the Zaliukas song - which has no place in football.

Remember, “We’re the best behaved supporters in the land, but a shower of nasty *******s when we lose”

You don’t get the bigger picture.

At long last the mainstream media appear to be giving the Rangers support a hammering for their racist and sectarian behaviour, although i think this may have been influenced partly by the fact that they want to charge them £25K for an audience with their PR gurus. However make no mistake the press will be looking elsewhere to balance the situation. Let’s not give them the opportunity.

By all means give the team our enthusiastic support but don’t cross red lines such as paedo songs, the vile Zaliukas reference or the Mercer song. The media will be all over us if we do.

Like most I will be hoping for an embarrassment free derby off the pitch but have to say that sadly the Hibs fans to whom you are directing your plea are very likely the sort of numbskulls who will react by sticking two fingers up at you and then go on to behave even worse just to make the point that they'll not be telt by some unknown old sober do-gooder.

Since when did that become a red line? It’s disgraceful if a ditty for Zaliukas has been coined and I’d hope that would be shouted down. Nothing wrong at all with the original Mercer song. The recent add-ons are poor though. All imo.

Ive not actually heard the song but if thats the case its nkt on.

MND is a horrible disease and nobody should be slating anyone whose sadly passed away from a illness.

I'm not really pointing fingers as such, I've been one of those fans on many occasions when I was younger. It comes down to us all as collective travelling support to police things amongst ourselves sometimes and educate/guide others where we can.

Put yer arm round a fellow hibee.

There are a couple of posts early in the thread implying there is a song on the go. No idea where it’s come from.

First derby with fans for around 18 months or so, there’s guaranteed trouble happening in some way or form, my guess a mini pitch invasion after the 1st goal [emoji85]

[jacomo]

Mercer more than earned a bad taste song.

Agree that his family are not fair game, but he didn’t give a f*** about Hibs fans so why should we care about his name being besmirched?

[Pretty Boy]

I accept I might be in a bit of a minority but I quite like the fact the derby has regained an edge and a bit of poison in recent years. I think that may be partly down to the fact it's actually been quite competitive in the last few years. Since 2014/15 there have been 21 games. Hibs have won 7, Hearts 7 and there have been 7 draws. It doesn't get more even than that. There has also been something at stake in most of those years as well. The Championship season, Scottish Cup ties, relegation dog fights (them), European spots up for grabs (us).....

There are obviously lines that shouldn't be crossed but that point when the venom is barely suppressed and you can feel a real pent up something bubbling just below the surface is when the atmosphere is at it's best imo.

Didn't for my daughter who was hit by one, fortunately unhurt but ruined her scarf. Glad you enjoy them though, prefer a good Hibs song myself and to be fair to the young team they have came up with lots of good ones. I have no idea if there is a youngish supporter singing element who sing some clever songs and generate a great atmosphere and a separate Ned, paedo obsessed, dead people's wife slagging, smoke bomb, coke filled idiot element or they are all a big group and one gives the other a bad name much as those Neds give the whole support a bad name.

Songs about someone dying from MND are beyond the pale, but cancer is fine because we really didn’t like Mercer? Seems strange.

Never been one for any songs revelling in the death of other people, but it’s highly hypocritical if anyone is lecturing others about what songs are acceptable at football matches and then dancing and singing about the death of Wallace mercer. In my opinion..

FWIW I think the opening post is a fair one. For all it was always going to get criticised from a few hard men that are likely offended by Rangers singing the sash, but lash out at any willingness to keep our own house clean.

You have said it. And you can stick your opinion as far as I’m concerned. I loathed that character while he was alive and continue to do so since his demise. His song puts a smile on my face.

Quality post I think not. Revelling in a song about the death of someone is no better than the bigot brothers and their little ditties. Rise above it.

Who are you to decide who goes to Easter road, you don’t like it shut your ears. The easily offended brigade on here make me chuckle. It was ok to get away with anything in the 70’s when folk were young and daft but not alright for young and daft laddies these days! Jeez

He’s not deciding who goes to Easter Road though is he? He’s sharing his opinion that singing about a man being dead shouldn’t happen in our crowd. Your opinion is that it’s funny. You’re both entitled.

I’m not easily offended by very much at all. Hearing songs about Mercer dying or being dead doesn’t offend me.. I just don’t think they do our club’s image any favours at all, and I choose not to sing them as I don’t think revelling in death is right. Personally also find it a bit cringeworthy and embarrassing that grown men are wanting to sing and dance about a football stand over a man dying of cancer 15 years ago, as if it’s some hilarious joke or as if it actually bothers hearts fans… again, only my point of view.

It was okay to get away with racism and homophobia a few decades ago as well. Are those looking to eradicate that from the game in the easily offended brigade as well?

So your comparing the mercer song with monkey chants or the equivalent racist chants?
Maybe we should ban comedians who make dark jokes, or any jokes as there’s bound to be someone offended. While we’re at it anyone found swearing at the football automatic lifetime ban.

It was not OK in the past as it not OK now. I have been going to games since the mid sixties so have heard all the offensive songs sung. Point I am making is that we need to show some class.
I have my opinions about Mercer hated what he tried to do, we need to move on happened a generation ago.
Lots of children at games now. Daddy why are you singing about somebody who has died a long time ago.

No. I’m telling you that just because you could supposedly do whatever you liked in the 70s doesn’t mean it’s right.

I still don’t think anyone’s offended here. Just a few of us not scared to share that we’re not fans of the Mercer songs. If you think they’re funny then carry on… there’s not much to debate. We don’t like them, you do. That’s life.

Or alternatively keep going on about swear words and lifetime bans, and coming out with exaggerated statements as if you’re struggling to justify singing about a man dying of cancer yourself.

I don’t need to justify myself to anyone tbh, we all have differing opinions that’s good, I just can’t be doing with the condescending tone from some. People will do what they’re gonna do.

Hearts fans made up a song about Shades death and manner of his death, Celtic fans sang a song about Bobby McKeans death Rangers fans did the same about Johnny Doyle so tmb1875 its OK to sing about somebody who has died because its the other team irrespective of the circumstances.

I have made that point frequently but certain people think its OK to sing about Mercer because he tried to kill our club. As a support we need to rise above it show Hibs Class.

Not trying to be smart but it's derby day. I want vitriol, hatred, nastiness, abuse and to cause as much offence to anything Hearts related as possible for a couple of hours.

Well son, that man they're singing about tried to kill Hibs. We'll talk about it a bit more when we get home, it's important you know about it.

:top marksI'm forever banging this drum. Same applies when the old firm visit. If you didn't already know the words to the tunes you wouldn't have a clue.

There's folk on here that think fans around Europe can magically decipher the words, bringing shame on Scotland.

Try watching a game from Croatia and see how you get on working out what they're singing!!

[LunasBoots]

Andy Halliday, Andy Halliday, thought he won the cup....

The Mercer song gets brought up every derby, if you don't like it don't sing it, the issue runs deep with a lot of folk so understandable really.

[FilipinoHibs]

The one song I don't like is the Refugee song because it is racist/xeonphobic. I will tell people to stop singing it at games , pointing out we were founded by refugees.

Just like songs about Thatcher, songs about Mercer
don't bother me. He was a bun supporting, Thatcherite, tax dodger who tried to kill our club. His family still try and justify would he tried to do to Hibs in various newspaper articles.

If any of the young team saw the video from Glasgow of the Rangers fan holding the smoke bomb they’d think twice!

No chance of Mercer being a fat ******* now. Down where he belongs.

[Since452]

It's a derby. I know everyone is different but I won't be offended by anything that Hearts fans sing and I won't be apologising for anything I sing. It's been a horrific couple of years, first derby with fans in that time so people will be wanting to vent and let everything out. Some of my best mates are Jambos but during that 90 minutes will be a bit of a naughty boy and I'd be disappointed if they weren't thinking likewise.

[staunchhibby]

I believe Jane Godley has donated her fee to charity

[hibee-boys]

Some people seem to try and find ways to be offended these days. I’ve never came out of a football ground emotionally scarred by what opposition fans have sang about us, it’s usually forgotten by the time I get back to the car or to the pub! Yes, thankfully we very rarely see any racist and homophobic language/songs at games so our game has greatly improved from that perspective but let’s not be too worried about songs sang at football games, the songbook is diminishing enough as it is!

[StevesFamau5]

If any of the young team saw the video from Glasgow of the Rangers fan holding the smoke bomb they’d think twice!Aye that's a bit of a splice and dice. The smoke bomb did explode but it didn't do the damage the still image shows. That's from a fireworks incident in South America I believe.

Smoke bombs or grenades are not fire or temperature based. They are max 35 degrees. I did a lot of research for photography stuff so I can use them around the K9s I have.

I couldn’t really care less what other fans have to say about ours. The club aren’t going to get into bother so it’s not worth worrying about. Also anyone with a phone out inside an Edinburgh derby needs their heads checked.

You’re pretty much insinuating that you don’t trust Hibs fans to behave themselves, despite no historical behaviour at derby matches that should cause anyone any concern.

Will you be watching the game tomorrow or just forensically examining the support, possibly in the hope, that you find something you can use as a stick to beat them with?

Might I remind you of a recent Derby where an elderly hibs fan was caught on camera mouthing racial abuse? This is the type of incident we're hoping to avoid again. The last few derbies have seen incident as such and, although in the minority, the media will be absolutely desperate to even the score with this racism thing and rangers.

I agree that was wrong and the guy would have been suitably punished however I also remember the old firm played on the same day and a similarly aged Rangers fan was caught full on camera at the end of the game mouthing a clear sectarian obscenity. Guess which incident was totally ignored.

You still haven’t managed to explain how opposing fans can ‘goad’ us into singing the skacel song. Especially since we didn’t actually sing it.

There are always Hibs AND hearts fans who spend the whole game watching opposition fans, trying to get a rise or mock them based solely on wee hand signals and body movements, or shouts that you can never actually hear. Very very pointless IMO when there’s a game to watch, but it always happens and isn’t anything to get the rage about really.

You seem to be trying to find a problem in what was a good days work for the club getting a result at what is historically difficult venue for us. It is the Edinburgh Derby. What are you expecting from the fans exactly? It is nothing like the vitriol of the Old Firm Derby, quite the opposite actually given we all have friends who are Hearts fans. There is no need to keep posting about it.
