Pretty embarrassing that was allowed to happen. Bit sinister someone has gone out of their way to do it.

And random that somebody just happened to be recording it! All sectarian provocative tunes need to GTF out of our country.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Embarrassing for Hearts. There has always been a mini-Hun hardcore there, who also revel in the Loyalist culture. Thankfully, they are not representative of the wider support, and many won't be happy; unlike Ibrox, where a majority would defend it to the hilt.

That is really weird.
They surely can't be connected to the club
Obviously weirdo's who support Hearts and are interested in weird politics and dressing up in clown suits can set up a flute band and call it whatever they want.

Kickback had a thread on this flute band 10 years ago. The first 60% of page 1 I read was very funny including the following post:

"They're marching about the place looking like spankers all dressed in maroon with our club's name (minus the FC bit) on their drums. Some of them are known to be Hearts fans. They chose to march about looking like spankers in the vicinity of our club's home. I'd say it's a pretty fair comment for Hibs fans to be linking them with us....and laughing....

I'm certainly embarrassed, anyway. https://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/yucky.gif (https://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/yucky.gif) "

[FromLeithtoNZ]

To be fair, I think the vast majority of Hearts fans are at the very least unimpressed by the idiot who did this. A good number of them are quite angry, and some of them are absolutely losing it. I have had a wee peek at their kickback site. A lot of them are worried they're going to linked with the blue flavoured knuckledraggers from the west. A small minority of them buy in to sectarian nonsense, but only a minority. I think for the most part, most of them are as opposed to it as we are. East of Scotland mentality versus West of Scotland mentality.

[FromLeithtoNZ]

I agree that it's weird in some ways. If marching and playing flutes and drums is your thing, you're welcome to it I suppose. Nothing particularly wrong with that. However, if you hang your 'identity' on political and religious strife and the outcome of 300 year old battles in Ireland, you might not be in a healthy frame of mind.

Hearts have a minority of fans that are into sectarianism and Hibs have a minority of fans that are into singing about Stokesy's Da being in the Ra.

They're a minority in both supports and both clubs would be better off without them.

Their minority is much more evident at matches than ours. A couple of years ago I heard 2 women up the back of the stand at Tynecastle start sing Stokesy Da but they quickly stopped when nobody else joined in. Hearts won the match and afterwards they were singing along to Sweet Caroline and instead of singing "**** the Hibs" they sang "**** the Pope". They often belt out the Billy Boys in the stands. We don't do any equivalent, unless it is in small pockets like the 2 women so I've not heard it.

I agree that our minority are probably smaller, but they've been quite vocal at the likes of Parkhead and Ibrox (in my experience)

Not meaning to pick an argument, BTW, as I've heard a lot of Hearts Fans sing the Gorgie Boys song, so agree with that.

Idk why they still sing the gorgie boys like that. They could easily sing a non bigoted version of it like every club in England does.

Fair enough. I go to a reasonable number of away games but not Ibrox and last time I was at Parkhead we were comfortably beaten so I don't recall much singing.

With Hearts it is a significant minority who come with their union Jack's and sing up to your knees. With Hibs it is a tiny minority. Big difference.

I know Hearts fans that wear England shirts and play loyalist music to gee themselves up for derbies. Not saying they're all like that but they have a significant number that are huns without the bus fare.

What an embarrassment. Not to talk politics, but a massive number of Hearts fans are snp. You can only imagine what would be said to halfwits turning up to a game with an England shirt on. These guys are cretins. Doesn't matter whether you believe in independence or the union, there are arguments for both. Why wear an England shirt though? If you're happy being Scottish and British, wear a Scotland jersey. That's where you're from. I find it pathetic to be honest. This is not anti-English retoric. I like England, perfectly nice place. But I am not going to wear and England shirt because I am from Scotland.

[FromLeithtoNZ]

We've all had that conversation surely. The one were you're chatting to a Celtic or Rangers fan. Inevitably(they can't help themselves) they talk about religion. They seem to have this belief that Hibs and Hearts are somehow extensions of their own clubs. Almost like we're junior partners, one on each side. When you point out that there are Protestant Hibs fans and Catholic Hearts fans, you can see the confusion in their eyes. They seem taken a back. As if you've taken a dump on their dinner plate. You try to explain that, for the most part, the Edinburgh derby is geographical(although maybe not as much these days). They can't seem to grasp it. It's interesting to see the reaction. Although, to be fair, some of the reasonable ones seems to get it. The 90 minute bigot is becoming more common than the full time bigot. Be nice when there are zero time bigots. There are still a hardcore of absolute morons who can't fathom it mind you. Hibernian FC are a Scottish football team from Edinburgh. We don't care what religion you follow, or if you follow one at all. Get behind the Hibs. That's all that matters.

Surely singing **** the pope is essentially the exact same as singing **** the queen or about not being mastered by orange *******s… minorities and ones that we don’t want nor need.

I ended up in a pub with a bunch of Celtic fans after the 2013 cup final. What a bunch of patronising ******s they were. "if it wasn't us we'd want it to be you lot" etc. Nothing to do with our drought at the time but because they think we are like them. Oddballs the lot of them.

[007]

Yes, I would say they are the same. My point was they'd just beaten us and the obvious choice during Sweet Caroline would be to sing **** the Hibs but instead they chose to sing **** the Pope. Any that did sing **** the Hibs were completely drowned out. Says a lot about their support as far as I'm concerned.
