Fans Behaviour.

[Hermit Crab]

Absolutely shocking today from some fans.

Unopened can of red bull launched at Kelly, plus coins and a lighter. Broken seats thrown throughout the game and reports of a female steward being struck with a broken seat at full time splitting her head open.

We will get fined for that today and not to mention having to pay for the damage to the stand. We are better than that. No place in the support for roasters who want to do that. Gtf

We are into the semi final.

I know it's hard to take but for the sake of your own health I think it's wise to focus on that

Edit - if someone really has thrown a seat the they need banned for life

Given the cost of a red bull too...What drives these folk to act like twats?

Looked like a couple stewards where attacked when cameras turned on Hibs support on the telly. The singing and bouncing is great but some just want to go that stupid bit further and be a cocked up welt, there's really no excuses for it. Also noticeable recently the amount of younger fans acting like idiots.

We won't get fined, no strict liability.

[Dalianwanda]

As a collective we are better than that. Individually we have some real welts in the support hope they got caught and charged

If it’s true a steward has been injured we shouldn’t be ignoring that. We should be getting the culprits right out of our support and in front of a jury.

[Mike Berry]

Unfortunately we've always had our share of idiots. Hopefully they're all identified and get done for it. After that Hibs should ban them.

Add to that the smoke bomb that hit a steward, appeared okay and the pyro that was thrown onto the pitch which simply went on fire. Brilliant atmosphere and hope that those who were breaking and chucking the seats are caught and banned

They do hand out stickers to people so it doesn't definitely mean it was them who broke the seats.

[Winston Ingram]

They’re a total embarrassment.

[wookie70]

Do we have club officials at games. looking at our away crowd. I know Celtic do and for games like today I think we should too. I want these fandangs banned at least until their plukes are gone. They are a total stain on the club and it seems very simple to me to get rid of them given they always position themselves together and draw everyone's attention to themselves. Do they even watch the fitba. Saying that can't blame them if they aren't looking at the pitch at the moment

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Does that necessarily mean it was members of the group? Anyone can plaster a sticker on a seat.

Whilst true, is probably unlikely for the amount of seats that were trashed for another group of hibs to come along and trash them. I figure though that the club will be able to get the footage from Motherwell and see exactly what went on

[Just Alf]

Does that necessarily mean it was members of the group? Anyone can plaster a sticker on a seat.True.. who in your opinion is most likely to have the stickers?

Hands up I wasn't there, but I've been told, from a few different folks now, that it was the same group who had been in the same place and that a few were recognised as regular block 7'ers.... could well be they were there at the start of the game then went elsewhere and others arrived to then act like twats... interested to hear what you think is most likely?

[Newry Hibs]

Hibs should offer to pay for the damage.

Make it very clear we are doing so and will pay for other damage at other grounds.

Maybe (doubtful tbh) these nobs will stop if it is costing the club money.

Bad behavior at football has been going on forever, and our support is no exception. Most of it is just intoxicated daft lads rites of passage stuff that the perps will look back on through rose tinted glasses airbrushing it all in pub chuckling old man nostalgia.

There’s nothing weird about calling out complete numpties tarnishing the clubs name, possibly costing the club money and injuring innocent people doing their job. Playing it down however is pretty weird.

I'm in no way excusing the idiots but I don't recall similar stories in the press every time the Old Firm come to Easter Road and get away with murder. Or after the last derby when Heats smashed up literally hundreds of our seats. The press really do have it in for us.

[blackpoolhibs]

How would you know? You don't go do you? :dunno:

I go enough, and been to tynecastle more than enough times, and never seen carnage in 50 odd years, even when bottles were flying back and forth.

[OstKurve Hibs]

Do we have club officials at games. looking at our away crowd. I know Celtic do and for games like today I think we should too. I want these fandangs banned at least until their plukes are gone. They are a total stain on the club and it seems very simple to me to get rid of them given they always position themselves together and draw everyone's attention to themselves. Do they even watch the fitba. Saying that can't blame them if they aren't looking at the pitch at the moment

Aye that's right, use a post about a bunch of clowns to have a pop at the team.
Bawsack

[JohnMcM]

Who on eartb breaks seats and throws them ffs.
Absolute embarrassment to the club and their parents.

Reading the forum, my grandson says to me “Their average age looks to be about 17, so maybe they are the parents”. :shocked:

Sadly what others have done doesnt deflect from the fact we have some proper pricks in our support. The media wouldnt have been able to report on fans bad behaviour had they just behaved.

[hibee-boys]

Throwing anything onto the pitch is at over stepping the mark but a seat! Hope they identify who they are and ban them for life.

Absolutely pathetic. We've all been young but you can be young and not be a complete ****.

Wasn’t just one seat!

We are into the semi final.

I know it's hard to take but for the sake of your own health I think it's wise to focus on that

Edit - if someone really has thrown a seat the they need banned for life

Given the cost of a red bull too...What drives these folk to act like twats?

Tbf, no to my no my knowledge got injured at those games as a result of the ripping out of the seats.

This poor lassie got her heid split open by some bellend lobbing a seat at her.

[Mick O'Rourke]

Surely they will simply look at the broken seat number and see who bought it?


That wont be enough.
Could say he was at the toilet/cafe, came back and seat was broken.
Need proof.Witness, CCTV or both

I sometimes wonder what the point of stewards are.
Ok they cannot arrest folk ,but the must have witnessed this going on.
What are their instructions when theY witness this stuff going on.

Same in the South at ER (recent hertz game,seats smashed)
Turn a blind eye,they do.
And they totally bottle it when the glesca hordes come through.
Need the polis back in the stands/aisles at these games.
And the toilets for the drugged up mob.

[Tambo]

Seen a shot on the tv of a fan with part of a seat in the air celebrating with it like he had just won the world cup.

Not that it's up to me to tell someone how he wants to live life but I'm sure some cocaine was involved with some of these fans again today.

[Dalianwanda]

Bad behavior at football has been going on forever, and our support is no exception. Most of it is just intoxicated daft lads rites of passage stuff that the perps will look back on through rose tinted glasses airbrushing it all in pub chuckling old man nostalgia. If they are lucky enough to live that long in todays world.

It’s relatively mild to some of the stuff that has gone on previously.

You come out with the same ***** all the time. Rights of passage my hole, if that was the case everyone would be at it.

[Newry Hibs]

We will be made to pay for the damage.

Hope so.

I think the club need to hammer home what it costs us as a club and therfore is money not spent on the team.

Need to shame these morons.

[Alfred E Newman]

Absolutely shocking today from some fans.

Unopened can of red bull launched at Kelly, plus coins and a lighter. Broken seats thrown throughout the game and reports of a female steward being struck with a broken seat at full time splitting her head open.

We will get fined for that today and not to mention having to pay for the damage to the stand. We are better than that. No place in the support for roasters who want to do that. Gtf

Couldn't agree more. It's only a tiny minority but we all get tarred with the same brush. It's bad enough breaking seats but throwing them on the park frisbee style is just ignorant.

[Billy Whizz]

We had a lot of younger supporters at the game today, lots of what looked families
I hope the idiots don’t scare these fans from coming back

[Chuck Rhoades]

Fans were magnificent today. I noticed Maloney specifically referencing our away support today, as opposed to general / home support. Sounds like he wishes we had the backing at ER.

[LunasBoots]

Tbf, no to my no my knowledge got injured at those games as a result of the ripping out of the seats.

This poor lassie got her heid split open by some bellend lobbing a seat at her.

A couple stewards where certainly injured by projectiles from the Rangers support last time they visited and had the pyro display, one had there head split open.

Given that these cretins only seem to behave like this at away games you should be absolutely fine taking your kid to Easter Road.

[Billy Whizz]

Thats it Billy, my lad is 4 and I am considering taking him to his first match before the seasons finished but today has made me seriously think twice about that.

Much safer to take him to a home game 1st. I started taking mine when they were 5, even at that age you need to keep them occupied

[Aldo]

Unless they're wearing name badges, CCTV won't be much help. Especially with it being free seating today. The police need to do their jobs and lift the fannies....as they should wen the Infirm come to ER.

Of course it will. Still images of these idiots and they will easily be identified st ER next home game. Very very easy imho.

As for the Police, going into the crowd will potentially cause more issues and may result in those not involved to become part of it.

As I said very easy to identify those responsible! Gather evidence and deal with it later!

My daughter will be three in the summer, I fully plan to take her to a pre season game in the summer with her Hibs kit, it will 100% be at ER. She’s actually been to a game but she was about 4 like that old so I don’t think that counts 😂

[wookie70]

Thats it Billy, my lad is 4 and I am considering taking him to his first match before the seasons finished but today has made me seriously think twice about that.

As long as it is an away game you can move seats it is perfectly safe. There is only a small group that cause trouble and the rest of the away support is just there for the game. The group in question seemed far more interested in themselves than Hibs. I started taking my kids when they hit 5 and were at primary school. Only took them to home games in the family area and apart from Derby games it was fine albeit take some sweeties etc. Derby games were a pain because they sold the tickets to anyone so you often ended up with someone who was steaming, hardly watched the team that season and seemed to use an expletive every second word.

I'd leave it to next year to let them get a wee bit older and hopefully enjoy the atmosphere. Can't see there being much atmosphere for the rest of the season

[Carheenlea]

You could argue that the Free Seating contributed a lot to this. From this picture you can see that there was overcrowding in that front right section of stand.

Their main job is too ensure the physical safety of supporters. And that means looking after themselves as well. When you hear the utter contempt they are subjected to by some supporters it’s totally understandable why they don’t go wading in to a crowded away end. In the main they do a decent job for a ridiculously low wage.

The tickets are unallocated though at Fir Park and - as usual - folk were over crowded in the area the bother happened. Has been like this at Motherwell for ages.

[truehibernian]

Absolutely nothing Bob says is wrong Dalianwanda - it's the objective fact that fans of a certain generation, myself included, have experienced much worse, grown up around it, and have to sit in pubs now and again listening to them recalling hooligan bygone days - which is as sad as it is embarrassing.

The vast majority of fans behave, but there is a minority that do indeed see it as a rite of passage, probably because they've had the misfortune of having to listen to their old men recant old 'war stories'. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say.

As a lad, I was never into the casual thing but grew up with them and knew them and know them still - I was never a 'fighter', but was a boxer and could handle myself. I always felt safe on away days around them - never got involved in any of their nonsense. They also knew never to start on me because of it. But it's easy to see why young guys get caught up in it. I'm not excusing bad behaviour, it needs dealt with - but whether you agree or disagree with Bob, he is right, many young lads do see it as an excuse to replicate what the previous generation did.

Coin throwing, seat destroying, assaults, etc. are the actions of ****. But it has been going on for years, and much worse before. I don't blame the police either, it's the stewards who should turn the coked up neds away before they get into grounds. Have you seen the nick of some of the stewards, they don't even want to be there let alone work at games. That's the issue for me.

I sympathise with Hermit too, I took my oldest to away games and he ended up not interested anymore because the minority amongst his mates ruined it for him and their wee group. He supports from the armchair now and he is 23. He got fed up with their pharmaceutical pre-game nonsense.

[basehibby]

There’s nothing weird about calling out complete numpties tarnishing the clubs name, possibly costing the club money and injuring innocent people doing their job. Playing it down however is pretty weird.

I think the fact a female steward was injured might have something to do with it.

[Brown Hibs]

Block seven have been a stain on the club since their inception. Embarassing really. I was in the upper tier so wasn't aware of any of the carnage until I was on my way back. I had left proud with the high of a brilliant away support I had been part of to then be hit with this disgrace

Just watched the full game on bbc iPlayer and saw that too. A few minutes after our 2nd. The boy holds the seat up like some sort of trophy and does a 360 degree turn . Not clever.

Its not an objective fact otherwise we would all done the same thing from the same surroundings, upbringing etc. Its an objective fact that some fans disrespect others, break the law, physically harm other etc etc. Its subjective to the reasoning behind all of this. Yes its easy to see why some fall into doing what they do. Romanticising it as a 'rights of passage' is one of those. Its been around for ages & Ive seen worse myself but that doesnt excuse it. Fair play to your eldest for being able to take the step out of things, he obviously has a good sense of himself, its a shame Hibs are losing out on his live support due to the behaviour of others more fragile.

I'm on your side too mate, but is as objective as it is subjective - objectively I've been in the crowd where coins, CS gas, bananas, and other things have been thrown. I'm not saying 'everyone would do it', you're bang on, most reasonable people go to the game and watch, support, and leave without fuss. But Bob is right, some do see it as a rite of passage - probably fuelled by stories from their old men. They probably (sadly) witnessed their old men doing it too.

So you are saying these tosser’s behaviour should be swept under the carpet and given the ‘blind eye’. Of course they should be outed to the club and have them removed permanently. By the way they are not supporters, they’re hooligans.

[hibbysam]

And to think Ron wants to introduce alcohol at ER.

Why not? It happens without alcohol being served so it’s not really an excuse not to have it. Younger people in general get wasted (not just at football) rather than drinking in moderation (myself included), but it may just mean a few people drink more sensibly as they could also have a few at the football so no need to get tanked up to see the 2 hours through when you can’t have one.

[Glory Lurker]

It was free seating today.
There were seat numbers on the tickets but the tickets had 'free seating' printed on them. Plenty space in the upper tier at the sides but there were more people than tickets in the bottom tier. People were literally sitting wherever they wanted so unfortunately they won't be identified on that basis.

I realise this is digressing from the point but the decision to have free seating in a sold out stand was ridiculous

Yeah for sure and I dont know why folk do what they do. Yes the behaviour from their auld man could be apart of it...It could also be why certain fans have just disengaged and not come back. Who knows......I agree its gone on for years and way worse before football was a thing. But I also have hope that folk have moved on since then (or since was young at least)..Anyhoo its done & i wont be the last time its brought up.

[gbhibby]

If folk would just bloody well behave.
The stewards don't get paid enough to deal with what goes on. Seen many damaged seats in the away end at Easter Road and people boasting on other clubs fans websites about doing damage. Get away and fester in yir own pit and that includes the people responsible for today.

Too much of the duty of crowd control at fitba is left to untrained people.

But even then the cops on any ground appear to do zero or at best are re-active,not pro-active.

I know McD :aok:

I'm certainly not saying it should be shrugged off or ignored - those that carry out that behaviour are ****, end of. I hope those involved in it are identified, it's completely unacceptable. In football however, sadly, there are always going to be those that think that behaviour gives them a 'badge of honour' and it's been like that for decades. As I said McD, growing up around it (and them) I could never get my head around it - It's embarrassing that some of them my age are still into it - and I tell them that - always found the casuals and 'baby crews' (back in the day) to be right sad acts anyway, then and now. I feel sorry for them when I meet them now, sad men with no lives and they've all aged terribly - and I'm happy to tell them that too. Must be embarrassing for them having to order Stone Island is XXL (and Italian sizing is small :greengrin)........and I'd be even more embarrassed wearing such a shan brand anyway :greengrin

So you watched on telly and you’re commenting on the behaviour today, in general it was fine other than a small number of idiots, happens almost every other game, and always going to happen particularly at big games.

This sort of thing has always happened no matter the amount of stewards or police. I would say health and safety is as big an issue now as it’s ever been so I don’t think you should be worrying as much as you are. Simply identify and ban the minority who behave this way and hopefully it will begin to stop but this sort of stuff will always happen.

I think that is more the problem than anything else apart from the mob mentality with football fans. “Day Trippers” is becoming re-defined as coked up neds who think chucking chairs is funny.

So you watched on telly and you’re commenting on the behaviour today, in general it was fine other than a small number of idiots, happens almost every other game, and always going to happen particularly at big games.

This sort of thing has always happened no matter the amount of stewards or police. I would say health and safety is as big an issue now as it’s ever been so I don’t think you should be worrying as much as you are. Simply identify and ban the minority who behave this way and hopefully it will begin to stop but this sort of stuff will always happen.


Aye i did
My comments are not solely about todays game,though.

But seeing it was only a small number of idiots smashing chairs and throwing missiles today , just ignore my comments:greengrin.

[LunasBoots]

Block seven have been a stain on the club since their inception. Embarassing really. I was in the upper tier so wasn't aware of any of the carnage until I was on my way back. I had left proud with the high of a brilliant away support I had been part of to then be hit with this disgrace

Bring back Since 1875!

[gbhibby]

And i never said they should wade in. But they are not ensuring safety.
Drunks are getting through the turnstiles
Toilets are opium dens at half time and before KO

I could see from my living room today a guy waving part of a seat in the air !
Criminal damage was being done, missiles thrown,people hurt.
What was PC Plod doing?
Where the steward chiefs telling the cops, who were too busy watching the game .
Thats the point am trying to make..

Too much of the duty of crowd control at fitba is left to untrained people.
Clubs are doing this ,employing stewards, as its far cheaper than employing more cops.
But even then the cops on any ground appear to do zero or at best are re-active,not pro-active.
'There is going to be a tragedy at a football ground if this is not addressed.
The overcrowding of areas,where its clear more have gained access than tickets issued.
South Stand at ER when the Glasgow mob are here,is an example of that.
Agree Mick. People need to take responsibility for their own actions. You are meant to be going to support your team not
to destroy a stadium.
We should not sink to the levels of the uglies and Hearts fans who do what was done today at Easter Road and boast about it.
Get them out of our club.

[Glory Lurker]

Today's behaviour is why we're years off alcohol at grounds, and why rugby fans deservedly get much better treatment than we do.

[Perd Hapley]

Truly pathetic. Wasn't there but would happily contribute to a fundraiser toward repairing the seats, if nothing else than to demonstrate that we're better than this as a fanbase

You weren't aware... So you never saw the flares on the pitch, the seats being thrown, the red bull can lobbed at the goalie? Save us the birthday card pish, some folk were an absolute rid neck today, it was clear for all to see and live on the BBC as well. ****in throbbers.

Dunno if you were at the game or ever been to fir park but being at the back of top tier it's quite far away from the pitch and the people in the front rows. I'm only echoing what others have said. Brilliant in the top tier, clearly shameful in the front few rows. It's clear where the problem lies in our support. Dunno how you have interpreted my initial post but I clearly agreed some fans have let the club down.

I wouldn’t call them fans ….. an absolute disgrace. Find them name them shame them and ban them.
After reading all the emotional updates of Dnipro Kids we again get the headlines for all the wrong reasons with these numptys at Motherwell yesterday. 😡😡😡

Is it fishing if it’s true?

[Antifa Hibs]

As always with this type of thing there's never any context in amidst the hysteria.

-The damaged seats is a case of big deal, its likely a result of people bouncing up and down on them singing and celebrating as opposed to people just smashing them. Should it have happened, no. Did it happen, yes. Hibs will wire a few grand and it will be sorted.
-The pyrotechnics and ultras culture has been part of football on the continent for about 60 years and has slowly and inevitably made it ways to Scotland. Would be better if the pyro stayed in the stands as opposed to being lobbed pitch side.
-The fanny that launched the object that hit the lassie on the head should and i'm hoping will be picked up and charged.

Going by this thread and the hun and daily ranger you'd think there was mass scale riots. There was one notable incident (the female steward incident), the rest and i'm not condoning it is part and parcel of fitba and always has been. The only difference is prior to 2000ish you never had forums and social media, it would've been a case of being on the bus or the pub "did you see that ******** launching the coin", "aye what fanny eh" and that was that. Now with the internet you've got people commenting on stuff starting the witch hunt when they weren't even there and the story (or non story) can grow arms and legs and go on for days or weeks with people commenting on.

Don't think I've seen anyone claim there was mass scale riots, well apart from yourself that is.

[One Day]

I had a nice time up in the top tier.

Me too, was all very civilised

[Brooster]

I think you are trivialising it a bit much. Don't get me wrong the atmosphere was great but I don't like objects being thrown. I don't see the need to be standing on the seats but maybe that's just me. What's your take on the majority of the group being reeking by 1230 and nipping away to the loos in pairs?

1 - Just wire a few grand! Surely if adults did not bounce on the seats the club could put this money to better use?
2 - Was a pyro really necessary? The guys were creating a great atmosphere without them. The club have said so many times, do not take pyrotechnics to the game.

I was in the Upper and it was a terrific atmosphere with no seats damaged and everyone having a good sing song and getting behind the team. Fairly simple for everyone to follow the same rules.

[Keith_M]

The top tier was pretty boring in all honesty. Full of home supporters at their annual away game and hibs.net posters


Utter garbage

Is it just me, or is there a growing ****ty culture within Scottish football of these wee ********s causing grief at games, mainly away games. I'm all for a flare, a great song and dance, but breaking seats, chucking stuff at players and assaulting staff/stewards needs dealt with very strongly.

Even one muppet seemingly lamenting the lack of hooliganism in the upper tier.
Hibs class, indeed.

[hibeedonald]

Seemed to be a bit of trouble after the game as well? Mostly just wee bams posturing.

Police horses went galloping up the street on the way back to station, by time I caught up they had surrounded a bar full of Motherwell fans and had separated whatever happened.

Got a little bit further along the walk back to the station and seen about 40 Hibs fans, average age probably no more than 14, come running round a corner away from a similar amount of Motherwell fans probably about 17/18 years old with a few in Balaclavas :faf: Police were quickly on it, which was lucky for our "young team".


Hitting the lassie with seat is outrageous. I doubt it would be easy to get her identity but if there's some way we could do a whip round or a gesture to apologise I'm sure many on here would contribute.

I was about 6 rows behind Block 7. They did throw some flares on the pitch but most of the seats and debris came from other parts of the stand, as well as the juice can came from the section next to them. Apologies if I've interpreted wrong but surely you can see the bits of seat landing on the playing area? Never been in the top tier at fir park though

Their “mob” were out in numbers yesterday. There were must have been around 50-60 casuals in their 30’s to 40’s. They were in the Weatherspoon pre match and the boozer on the left on the way to the station. They were desperate for bother. Our lot are not in the same league as those guys and are mostly young teenagers pretending to be hard

Their mob are pretty active and have been for a while now. Always at top of Brandon parade when other teams visit. Theyve done rangers and celtic recently as well.

Yes they have emerged as a seasoned mob this term. The other mobs are either too old to be bothered or too young to give them trouble. Lockdown in Motherwell must have been even more desperately boring than in the cities.

I don't think that would have worked as there's been a change in attitude among a lot of fans as regards allocated seating in recent years, with large groups massing in one area, usually the lower tier near the front, and ignoring what their ticket says.

The mindset seems to be that, if you don't give us terracing, we'll just recreate it ourselves....

[LunasBoots]

Are they?

Yes, a number of the guys I used to go to the games with in younger days and regular faces at games are certainly not there anymore/currently, bumped into a few lads before the last derby mind you but where well out of the way of prying eyes due to banning orders aswell

Didn’t think that many were banned now. Majority of them were up a while ago.

[7Hero]

Do you know if it was members of 'block 7'? Nah? Didn't think so. Get a grip.

Considering their Stickers are on the damaged seats and all around that area hard to argue against it.

This is particularly prevalent at Tynecastle. Groups of bams head en mass for the lower sections squeezing into the front rows giving out cheek to anyone who's seat they may be occupying. Last time there the stewards got wise to this and when they went to the toilet or for a pie the stewards checked their tickets on return and if they didn't have a ticket for that section or they couldn't produce a ticket they were told to bolt.

[Hermit Crab]

Allegedly trouble in the town centre after this as well. Cant verify though.

That bunch of wee fannies aside, I thought our support overall was fantastic at the weekend.

[green day]

A heads up - there will be groups of coked up bams at Tynecastle and Hampden in a few weeks.

That will be from both sets of fans as well, might as well start the "surprised and shocked" threads now................

Nobody will be surprised or shocked if a few bammers made a fool of themselves and embarrass the club potentially costing us money. However, many will be disappointed, disgusted and angry that they will likely get away with it again with no apparent effort from the Police to stop them.
