It's starts with C, rhymes with broke and is also a popular soft drink.

And several smoke bombs despite the clubs’ very specific and reasoned request to stop throwing them. The club should stop entertaining them immediately.

Frequently displace other Hibees from their seats, generally a group that needs to be handled in a tougher manner by the club than they are.

I know they’re only daft lads, but the absolute last thought that would ever cross my mind at the football is “my team are crap, I’m angry about it, I know what I’ll do, I’ll break a seat”

[hibee_girl]

Surely that won’t help their cause for moving to the FF?

[the_ginger_hibee]

Nothing to see here. It's just 'hangers-on' they aren't actual members of Block 7, despite the tattoos & Block 7 t-shirts.

Bunch of wee twats, club need to start banning these pricks

[Diclonius]

Ultras in countries like Italy basically run things themselves and are accountable to no one, not even the club. If this is the way Block 7 are going then get it dealt with immediately.

When they blocked the tunnel leading to Tynecastle last season and let off smoke bombs inside knowing full well there could be people susceptible to asthma in there I thought that reeked of entitlement and arrogance.

With allocated seating it’ll be easy to identify those who broke their seats.

Or it would, if Block 7 didn’t force other fans out their purchased seats like they did today.

[Hibees1973]

A bad day for the club.

These idiots would have broken the seats even if we had won.

Surely it's easy to spot who they are on CCTV.

[Not In The Know]

I’ve made some daft decisions in life. But F me. I’ve never attacked a plastic seat in Motherwell.

Yep. Same ‘hangers on’ that throw the smoke bombs which our club pay for, and the same ones that sang about dead Lisbon Lions at CP after Bertie Auld (ex Hibs not that they’d know) died.

Still, the club likes the flags and the like, they'll likely get another invite along to training for it.

That is a ****ing disgrace. Jumped up wee coke heads dragging the club through the mud. I don’t care how much they sing/how committed they are in following the club, everyone one of them wants banning.

[Pretty Boy]

There's plenty to like about Block 7 and I fully support their move behind the goals and just generally their attempts to add a bit more noise and colour to ER.

They need to self police better though or it's doomed to either fail or be a niche thing that never really catches on except at big games when the atmosphere doesn't really need the help. I posted on the PM board about my altercation with a few of them in Blackpool. Guy walks right into my row, pushed my 5 year old daughter out the way and started waving a flag about. I wasn't having it and got the full treatment from a wee group, I wasn't for backing down but my bairn was in tears so it made sense just to walk away as 6 on 1 was only going to end one way, thankfully another couple of older heads came down and took the sting out of things. Worst part is I had been getting on with another couple of the guys and had told them we were going to move as being in our own seats wasn't that big a deal and we'd let them have their fun. The guy involved had a jacket on with a Block 7 logo but I still got the 'he's no really one of us' when I walked away.

It's done and I'm not going to hold a grudge against a whole group because of one coked up wee bam and his daft mates but cumulatively they need to be better at 'having a word'. I know it's not easy when you are young but a big pile of broken seats doesn't help their cause and ignoring it or defecting is harmful to their aims in the long run.

[3pm]

They looked pretty quiet when the chips were down.

[Liam89]

They’re all coked up and generally unpleasant to be around - better off without them.

[mcohibs]

Club need to identify those responsible for seats being broken and smoke bombs thrown and ban them. Simple as that. No excuses.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Is it not the case that some bump ticket holders out their allocated seats so the mates can all bounce together? You’d be raging if you were collared for breaking you allocated seat in those circumstances.

Maybe they need to communicate their position / stance if it was indeed folks from their section.

[Hermit Crab]

If they start their pish over in Switzerland, not only will it give the club a bad name, they’ll also get a panelling from the local police and the Luzern ultras as well. They are not to be messed with. They idiots better tread carefully.

As for today. I would ban them for the next away game after Lurzen as it will be too late to stop them for that. If it happens to be villa away then that’s though titty for them.

Maybe a wee brush with a Swiss cop will bring them down a peg or two.

And by the way you don’t have to look hard to find stories of them being aggressive pricks to other Hibs fans. The mob mentality and drugs will fuel violence against other supporters if it doesn’t get stamped out.

There wasn’t the same amount of bother with Since 1875, why did they have to disband and the void be filled with this?

Yep seems to me that they get tickets roughly near each other then just fill the spaces inbetween. The club should make us aware of where they’re sitting at away games so people can take tickets as far away as they want.

[H18 SFR]

To think that there is such a clamour to have good Hibs supporters and their kids punted from the FFL to be replaced by these cretins.

I've suggested that to the club. Been displaced on several occasions by them now. Yet to hear if that's possible, but I'm sure back in Pat Fenlon's time when there was a singing section there was an option to do that. I think you had to phone the ticket office to ask for tickets within the singing section, so you knew where you were booking.

I’m in favour of that, but things like this do them absolutely no favours.

Club 100% need to take a stance against them … I was told they get priority for away tickets too which is crazy

They do some good stuff but for some reason seem to think they are in touchable. Tells you everything when they hide there faces on social media. If they aren’t doing anything wrong and just building an atmosphere then why do they hide ?

I was surprised the police never waded in and huckled the ones that were waving the broken seats over their heads. Happened in the Melkersen cup game there as well. That’s a fair amount of damage in that photo.

[H18 SFR]

I really hope the club give the fans displaced from the FFL first option on the seat they previously had when the inevitable happens and this mob make a repeated arse of it behind the goals with smoke grenades, pyro, seers wrecked, items thrown on the pitch and players struck with coins etc - that is what will happen once this is made permanent.

They are bound to have a couple of "leaders" for want of a better word. Surely the club can identify them have them in and have bit dialogue with them about what is acceptable and what isn't. Maybe even have a couple of players present to say they appreciate the support but let them know the players dont want the negative stuff to overtake their support. Ask them to self police and if things don't change the club will wash their hands of them and not give any assistance with any of their future requests.

Allocated seating? Nobody in that section could get to their seats, they just took over that area and were telling everyone to bolt. We were actually told to "****** off over to the library", weird weird bunch, I'm all for it but not with this type of ****my behaviour. 5 of us stood up the back row on the aisle.

[Hibees1973]

Animals.

How this is allowed to continue on a regular basis is disgusting.

Not just our fans but is across a lot of clubs in Scotland. Very poor policing and little enforcement/punishment carried out by the clubs.

I could be wrong but does this happen much in England now?

Quite a few people on here have had some very negative experiences with the current group.

I want to see more atmosphere, more colour, and more energy at the games but can't agree with some of the behaviour we've seen from the current group of ultras, both in terms of smashing seats up, the Bertie Auld song, and being disrespectful to other Hibs fans.

It's a two way street.

Yup, Motherwell is always one of the worst places for it. Deliberately bought our tickets at the other side of the stand as have had the treatment from them at Motherwell before after the stewards effectively gave carte blanche to folk going wherever they wanted.

keep hearing that it’s excusable or understandable because of the age of them but it’s shabby stuff and we’re doing them no favours. They need to self police better like the old Fenlon era section did but it does look like there’s less football IQ in this lot, to paraphrase wee Lee :rolleyes:

Theres a couple of older guys that hang around with them. Other than it looking dodgy if they are going to do so maybe they can have a better influence on things. If they don’t, no matter how much schmoozing goes on with Ben K, he’ll be forced to do something because stuff like today just doesn’t wash.

Birds. They’ll no have had a ride between them 😂

I think it’s fair to say they are fast becoming pretty disliked by a section of the support and it’ll inevitably lead to an incident with other Hibs supporters if it carries on. Bunch of self entitled arrogant Green Brigade wannabes. I think they forget that they’re fellow supporters they seem to think they’re better than have been watching Hibs home and away longer than they’ve been around. A balaclava and a few unoriginal songs you’ve heard on Instagram does’t make you a superior fan. They are ignorant as **** as has been proved with the few instances of peoples being experiences they’ve had with them on here.

Hibs ought to be chasing them if they don’t buck up their ideas and start self policing. As others have said they’ll get a scudding in Luzern if they act like that over their as they’ve no very much to back it up.

Smashing a seat is a real achievement, a true buzz, something to be proud of.

So what if it costs Hibs? Have you seen the cost of an unde16 season ticket. They can afford it.

Fair point. If there’s video footage available of the away end then I hope Hibs look at it and ask supporters to name anyone that is shown to have deliberately vandalised seats today.

Braindead behaviour. I was about 10 rows from the front, 2 of said braindead were in our seats but they were told to move then along came 2 more braindead to stand in front of me in the same row!!

Not surprised you moved and you’re spot on about treating their fellow fans properly- your credentials aren’t judged by your ability to ape the latest trend in ultra karaoke. How you treat your fellow Hibs fans matters.

Have to say there’s a bit of away day syndrome here at play. Some of the hingers on and/or actual blockhead’s probably attend ER with their auld yins who think their kid couldn’t possibly get up to this kind of stuff…but go off the leash away from home.

[Broxburn Greens]

Aye, ***** performance is the seats fault 🤦*♂️.

They got a lot of plaudits on Thursday and rightly so, but yesterday just showed them up as a complete embarrassment.

Almost as big an embarrassment as the performance from the team on the park. Almost.

[flash]

What I most enjoyed about Thursday was hearing the East Stand belting out the old classics having been freed from the moronic drumming and unintelligible songs of the "ultras".

[Jones28]

Another picture doing the rounds on Twitter. The broken seats are coated with Block 7 stickers.

Well done, ****ing idiots.

Any Block 7 people reading this care to comment?

It would be an idea to make a point of drawing a line under this kind of behavior, as well as the confrontational attitude towards other Hibs fans.

By the way, this "no one likes us and we don't care attitude" will do nothing but push you, the club and the other supporters apart.

And good luck getting in behind the goals, if you **** this up there's no one to blame but yourselves.

100% This :agree:

[NAE NOOKIE]

Even as an auld fart who will never be part of this, its no secret that I've long been an advocate for Block 7 or whatever 'ultras' section being given the FF lower, for the very reason that has been demonstrated at our European games this season. I even gave a tenner to their crowdfunder a few weeks ago.

But that support will be knocked on the head in short order if ***** like this continues. Wrecking other club's stadiums, getting heavy with other Hibs fans and costing the club money isn't being a Hibs fan, its being an ******** and I'm not giving my hard earned cash, or moral support to ********s.

It's not good enough to say just because they are in our section or because they are wearing Block 7 gear it doesn't mean they are part of Block 7. If you are going to be a proper 'Ultras' group like they have on the continent then organise like one ... no Block 7 gear unless you are a signed up member and no joining the group in the stadium home or away unless you abide by a code of conduct set by whoever the leaders of that group are. If there isn't one, then bloody well set one that every member knows about.

This goes to exactly what I was talking about when I said Block 7 should use this season to get properly organised before being given the FF lower permanently next season. Sunday showed without doubt that that organisation is urgently required, so they had better get on with it.

In other words ... Get a grip or F off :rules:

Maybe. But I sat in the middle of the east for both European games and the very fact that you had the East doing its bit and the 'ultras' doing their's in the FF was what made the atmosphere so good, especially on Thursday night.

It would be a shame to lose that ..... but unless stuff like Sunday is nipped in the bud bloody quick any goodwill between Hibs and Block 7 will turn extremely sour extremely quickly .... IMO time for Hibs to issue a bloody clear warning that if anything like what happened at Motherwell is repeated the FF lower is a non starter, and that would be a real shame in my opinion.

These stories about Block 7 moving fans out of seats and now this it seems they are becoming a problem that needs dealt with.

Tynecastle is a particular problem for this. On more than one occasion I've had to move boys in my seat because they fancied a better view down the front. Last season one even said to me that nobody sits in their allocated seats at away games and it was a free for all. Right then, off you trot.

They almost definitely do. Thats how they always get tickets together at Tynecastle. There is no way they are all part of Hibs First but will all be seated together at the big away days like Hearts, Celtic and Rangers, some might not even be ST holders ffs. The club denied this was the case at the Hibs First launch night but it seems that it does happen but its done slyly so it doesn't arouse suspicion. If they don't get priority then how are they always seated together? You'll find out if this is the case if we draw a team in the cup with a very small stadium meaning we only get a few hundred tickets. Dumbarton or East Fife for example where there are only around 700 tickets available to away fans.

I'm all for a bit of atmosphere and that but there has to be a fair system for them getting tickets and it shouldn't be to the detriment of other ST holders and there certainly shouldn't be any threats of violence towards any supporter who is in a seat that block 7 fancy. They have zero right or entitlement to ask anybody to move.The club better get a grip of this.

The balaclava thing is not restricted to football. Teens walk about the streets or on their bikes wearing them. They seem to think it gives them an 'edgy' look etc. Certainly makes them look suspicious at any time.

Will you make the same case when the jambo equivalent morons come and **** up the south stand in a few weeks?

The seat-smashing is vandalism, costs our club financially and does nothing for our name and reputation. There’s absolutely no reason/excuse for it. The other elements of their behaviour is negatively impacting on other hibs supporters enjoyment of going to games.

It’s moronic. It should be called out (by the club too).

As for stupid things I done when I’m young. Thankfully I had older and more mature people to point-out I was being an ******** rather than tell me it’s okay because they did silly things too in their younger days. Although I never broke seats or forced other hibs fans out of theirs.

[wookie70]

We know its them, they know its them, the clubs knows its them. Everybody knows.

Even if it isn't them they create a place in teh ground where others feel there is safety in numbers. My view has always been the same, they are just fans and quite new ones at that. They deserve no more than any other fan but they or their predecessors have been given different parts of the ground and priority over tickets. They create a wee bit noise and bring about some colour but there are way more negatives than positives and I hope we can start to ban any fans breaking seats and throwing objects particularly pyro. It must be very easy to police given all the trouble comes from the same area. Make sure any arrests or bans are publicised and make it clear how much cost the club is having to endure to have a singing section

They never seem to be there to support Hibs more to promote their own self importance. If that’s the case I’d like to see them emptied all together.
Maybe they could attach themselves to ice hockey or netball or something.

So by your comments above I take it you are happy that their ‘Buzz’ caused hundreds of worth of damage and dragged the clubs reputation down?

So to get a ‘Buzz’ they should be allowed to do what they want, be aggressive towards and treat other fans with contempt.

Just remember though back in the day if you acted like they did/have towards other supporters the outcome would have been slightly different ie they would have been self policed.

I'm also well confused. It wasn't Ancient Rome that I was in my mid teens. What buzz do they get out of kicking ***** out of a plastic seat? Singing, flags, even that bloody drum, all well and good. Balaclavas and "corteos" - fair enough.

But destroying another club's property, knowing that'll get your club a bill to fix it? :rolleyes: Not to mention acting the hardman to supporters who've been watching and supporting Hibs since before you were a twinkle in your dad's eye?

Not for me - stick to the good bits, improve self policing and cut out the aggro towards your fellow Hibs fans or, as I suspect will ultimately happen, lose any relationship they may currently have with the club/goodwill from the rest of the support and tail off into insignificance

[NAE NOOKIE]

I’m not a big fan of club statements but I’m 100% in agreement with you and I hope the last paragraph states that the ‘trial’ in the FFL is now over.

Personally I wouldn't want Hibs to take what would be the ultimate sanction without first giving these guys a chance to get their house in order.
I do agree though that Hibs certainly need to make it as clear as day through a statement on the club' website that any repeat of the mindless idiocy that happened on Sunday at any stadium will indeed see the end ( not of the FF experiment which lets face it either already has ended, or will end after we play Villa at Easter Road barring a miracle ) of any prospect of there being an ultras / singing section in the FF lower next season or any other season for that matter.

The FF lower was always the ultimate aim for fans groups .. be that Since 1875 or now Block 7 .. For years it never looked like it would ever happen, but after much wrangling the club have finally allowed a trial that by any stretch has been a roaring success. The case has definitely been made that the FF lower given over to ultras and folk who just want to sing and make a noise can improve the atmosphere at Easter Road by a long way.

Unfortunately what we are seeing is like a kid that's spent all year begging it's parents to get them a bike for Christmas who then goes on to wreck the bloody thing by new years day.

The correspondence said that they are allocated after "other priority groups" which I'd take to be Hibs First as when I booked my seat for Motherwell I could have chosen from the entire lower stand so they hadn't been allocated an area at that point.

Whether they get allocated prior to other Season Ticket holders is a grey area.

There should be restrictions on it imo as if they are throwing objects at a player or doing damage they are harder to identify wearing them inside the ground.

The Vast majority of the Hibs support don't feel the need to were them so why do Block 7 then ?. It's not a good look imo and only makes others feel uncomfortable I'd imagine.

Be careful what yous wish for. Theres more Pyro and noise at second tier league of ireland games than there ever is at hibs, pearl clutching hysterics here

You’re not a fan, you’re an embarrassment to this club, you care less for the football and more for the aggro, why do you follow my club? if you feel that disillusioned about the quality of fare on offer your following the wrong club for the wrong reasons, go and support one of the uglys if you want success.

I implied none of that, as you well know. Sober up ffs and channel your competitive outrage to something more productive

Kind of sounded like you were saying the football isn’t very good so people break seats for a bit entertainment.

[Jones28]

Hardly hilarious. If they really are only in it for the 'buzz' then they needn't have been real Heart's fans than they are Hibs fans now.

It's really up to them to prove proper respect to the club and to other fans.

I find hilarious because it’s such a ridiculous suggestion. Hearts fans, banned from Tynecastle now pay money to Hibs to come to a game and sing songs about a team they despise for the “buzz”.

Just take rakes of ching in the house and save the £30 ticket.

Then ye weren't listening. My point was there seems to be an endless queue of hibs dads (of which I am one) trying to hysterically outdo each other in condemning the latest transgression of our younger fans. A bit of perspective is required. "****", "animals" etc, bit OTT don't ye think

[Mikey_1875]

The line from Kensall at the end of last season on block 7 priority tickets was that they were not charged the £15 for AST last season but they have been charged for Hibs First this season. This was from someone I know who questioned him directly about it.

I’m guessing they will have a lot of unofficial members/hangers on who come and take over more seats than the actual members have been allocated.

[DH1875]

Are they not allocated tickets the way that some supporters clubs used to be? Was quite common back in the day was it not.

So how do you become a member? Is it a closed shop? If there are 50 ot them in a singing section of 1000, who are they to call the shots?

Normal human beings don’t kick **** out of plastic seats at a football game. Normal people are passionate and excitable too.

I think if they break seats and cost the club money then they deserve the criticism they get. Surely being all hard and that they can take some internet name calling?

How would you describe it?

Bring a bag and a smoke bomb to the next meeting, stand on the chair in the meeting area and then smash it on the way out, you’re in.

Not a clue mate sorry :greengrin I was just more concerned about them getting priority tickets for free at the time.

For what it’s worth I think the East stand on Thursday shows that there is still room for anyone to get up and try to create a bit of atmosphere if they want to. Anyone, block 7 or not being unnecessarily aggressive to other Hibs fans at games though is something which should be taken very seriously by the club!

(Sorry can’t multi-quite) Long time since I’ve seen the term “opportunity cost” in the post you responded to… if ever on a football forum ;) but lads this is an exercise in futility - arguing with an economist - they are literally never wrong ! :)

Peace out folks.

but maybe if the point holds water, giving the young crew a buzz is the trick to unlocking the yoof pound and future support, we have a choice to make. If they are however doing a “double-shuffle” to bypass paying they and costing the club money in fines then there’s less incentive to attract that kind of crowd…

[I'm Spartacus]

I got the impression, early on, that this shower are actually the idiots that attached themselves to hearts and were subsequently emptied by Budge. That was certainly when they seemed to make an appearance at ER.
They never seem to be there to support Hibs more to promote their own self importance. If that’s the case I’d like to see them emptied all together.
Maybe they could attach themselves to ice hockey or netball or something.

Well this is a post and a half!

[DH1875]

If it was hearts fans. Who were the guys dressed in black, behind the goals at their game yesterday 🤔.

Former netball fans that have been banned by the club.

No perspective needed. What they’ve done has tainted the club’s reputation but as far as you are concerned it’s ok because they are still transgressing as a group!??

You are still trying to justify what took place.

As a Hibs Dad, was your Son/daughter part of B7?

[j'adorehibs]

this needs to be addressed by hibs and reflected upon for the proposed move to FFL. costing the club money whether that be directly to ourselves ie pitch damage or invoices fom oher clubs for behaviour as seen at fir park is completely avoidable . ban the perpetraitors, make the group pay the fine and make example of them....would soon eradicate that behaviour unless the coke and alcohol provides the usual behaviour bypass they cant get it all ways this group of supposed ultras who seem to think theyre untouchable and have precedent over other fans by taking up allocated seats and being the big i am when questioned.

[Northernhibee]

Give them their own section in the FFL, but any damages from things thrown onto the pitch, damages to away stands, fines, and so forth are to be paid by the group within fourteen days of receipt. Any fans displaced from their seats to be paid a full refund too.

Watch their “self policing” of “hangers on” improve tenfold overnight.

What level of condemnation would you deem appropriate for mindless vandalism which costs our club money?

[1875M]

I’ve witnessed first hand members of this ‘group’ being aggressive towards other Hibs fans (some with children), refusing to move when people have tickets in their seat, smoking/drinking during games and being general idiots. These all happened during away games.

Are they there for the football? Or other reasons?

I like the idea of Hibs having a group like this but from my perspective, it’s attracting the wrong type of people. Anyone who broke seats should be charged and banned. Unacceptable, especially when we are trying so hard to promote Hibs as a family and community club.

Have we not all witnessed people who are not members of this group doing the same things, since long before the people being vilified here were even born?

I only asked a question. Sarcasm is all well and good but if you don’t think it’s okay then why are you protesting at others criticising the behaviour?
