Take a bow all the Hibees at the game

[bordergreen]

Sound fantastic on the TV. Well done lads, enjoy your after match pints :flag:

[Northernhibee]

Brilliant stuff.

[HendoDelivered]

Potentially the best Hibs away support ever today. Sounded amazing and non stop singing. When have we ever sang SOL during a game?

[DH1875]

Losing 3-0 and still gutted I'm no there. Can't be to often thats been said. Cannae wait to see all the videos.

[HendoDelivered]

Type in “Hibs fans” on Twitter. Unreal compliments and videos

[LunasBoots]

Wow, what a support that was tonight.

[Doh Rae Me]

Flower of Scotland and SOL, Loud and clear. Hibs fans at their absolute best. Well done everyone, hope the throats are OK tomorrow. :not worth

[Dmas]

Incredible support tonight well done to all involved

BBC text updates really praising our fans. The difference when it’s the English team doing it and not the numpties in Glasgow…

What a support, loud and clear on the t.v. proud to be a Hibee

Great rendition of SOL.

[21sMay]

Unbelievable. Well done all fans who attended . Heard loud and clear from our TVs at home 👏👏

[Joe6-2]

Just wish you’d got a goal to celebrate, but didn’t sound like you needed one!!

[Jim Herriot]

Agreed - the Hibs fans sounded great tonight. Loved the "shall we sing a song for you?". Don't remember hearing Villa fans singing much.

[Sgt. Hartman]

Superb stuff!

That was unusual,if not awee bit special.
A wee kinda cheerio it might have been as well for SJM.
The supporters did our club proud and if truth be told so did the players up against some obvious quality of a team that is well likely to win this Trophy.

Back to business on Sunday.then.
Lets hope. even in defeat and what went on this week indoors,our boys can go to Aberdeen with heads held high and get back on track to winning ways in anticipation of hopefully a corner turning with a new boss coming in to revive the squad.

Some of the videos are outstanding. Great support.

How many Hibs fans do we think were at the game? Looks class.:flag:

[Off the bar]

I was sat in the Villa end and they applauded sunshine on leith, very jealous of everyone in the away end!

Tremendous support but the tartan army stuff was a bit cringey.

[One Day Soon]

That magnificent display tonight reinforces for me that we absolutely should have played it before the kick off last week. Look at the response from Villa fans and others on social media. Played just before a televised game like last week's it would have been worth its weight in gold.

But, we now know that we don't need the club or announcer to decide when it happens...

Best I've experienced, 40+ years.

[HITSB6]

Was a very quiet atmosphere from both fans tonight especially Villa fans and that's coming from a Villa Fan. Was expecting Bono to come on at some point to score a penalty for charity was such a testimonial/charity feel of a game. Hope your fans enjoyed it all anyway.

[He's here!]

Flower of Scotland is an even bigger dirge than God Save the King.

Sunshine on Leith was utterly magnificent tho. You could see the Villa fans just thought wow, that really is a cracking football song. The best there is IMO and the fact we have it all to ourselves is wonderful.

[HITSB6]

Just a generally boring game for us Villa fans very flat I sat in between the Holte End and Hibs section didn't seem that great from either based on experience of other clubs coming here in Numbers Spurs, Everton Etc

Maybe people that weren't at the game :P the Villa TV gantry is next to the away fans not trying to be harsh just as a general fan who has attended 100's of games at Villa Park it wasn't a great atmosphere from either fanbase especially Villa's I'd give you guys maybe 7/7.5 out of 10 not trying to cause controversy it was a very dry game and for large parts felt boring and testimonial like.

Can't help but find that post a bit arrogant, there's rival fans saying how good the Hibs fans were tonight, even your fellow fans, can't quite believe your take on it tbh but there we go. Good luck for the rest of the tournament, good side villa have got.

It would have been boring if you were in the Villa end to be fair..even last week you were more interested in singing about Scotland getting battered than any Villa songs, typical though.

Not being arrogant i've said Villa fan's were especially bad just felt like a very flat atmosphere from both set's of fans especially Villa fans. Again it might be an amazing atmosphere away for Hibs fans but I've seen better atmosphere from a lot of other teams who have came to Villa Park and that's nothing against Hibs just my opinion. Please note also if you watched the game on Villa TV the gantry is basically above the away fans where it is filmed.

I wasn't at the game last week couldn't get tickets but was up in Edinburgh great fans you have. I heard Flower of Scotland twice tonight I find National Anthems for club games cringy especially when several of your fans were waving Irish Tricolours it confused me. But yes if Villa fans were singing God Save our King or whatever its toilet chants to say the least.

Nonsense. I was in the Trinity Road stand opposite the Hibs fans and they were loud and proud all game. We’re getting loads of great comments from the Villa fans around me.

“5 nil down and they sing like that, imagine if they were still in the tie?”

Holte end was very quiet despite what I’d heard about coming into the game.

Great stadium, would like to go back for a game where I don’t have to keep my mouth shut. 😉

Maybe they haven't been many games Ajax/Rapid Vienna were a lot louder fans and a lot crazier and I was sitting in a more vocal home area for those games. Hibs fans were good just not saying they were the best I've seen in recent years! Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere anyway :D

Probably was I'm not that advanced age just comparing to games that I've been to in last few years. Such as I would expect you to say Celtic/Rangers fans were better than Villa fans last week and I wouldn't take any offence to that as it's an opinion with probably a large degree of honesty.

[B.H.F.C]

It's hard to enjoy something so easy I guess! I really was hoping we gave you more tickets and it was a closer game before tonight...

You’ve had some decent input last week or so. But you’re miles off in your observations about it being flat in the Hibs end.

As for your comment about it being easy, it obviously was. But if we could have 300 million to even it up a bit, that would be handy.

Was in A5 I wouldn't say I was closer to either main section but yes the Villa fans were very poor even the North Stand Lower which normally has some atmosphere sounded like a library. The Result did not help this game neither did the restricted allocation which is lower than what we normally give teams. Sadly that is due to the fact you gave us 5% so we did the same.

Fair play, the Hibs fans were brilliant. I was sitting opposite in the Family section in the Trinity Road stand. Sitting on my hands and doing my best Tommy Shelby impersonation.

There was bags of “segregation” really pleased you could get into the away end without any bother.

I originally had tickets to the section with the numpties with the Union Jacks. Glad I moved to the Family stand as I wouldn’t have fancied being in there with my two boys.

A surprising amount of Gloucestershire / West Country Villa fans. Saw loads at Strensham services. Makes sense as it was only a couple of hours from Wiltshire to Villa park. A lot closer than I thought.

I get what you're saying about it being a friendly type atmosphere. The tie was obviously dead and the Hibs support was there for a party. Had the tie been evenly poised the vibe would have been different, more intense. Fair enough if you've heard better from other fans but to say the Hibs support was quiet is well off the mark.

[JimBHibees]

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and thought the last 15 minutes especially were brilliant. It’s a shame there wasn’t a bit more competition on the park to go alongside but it was still an experience to remember.

[Just Alf]

Can't believe what our resident 'Villa Fan' is coming out with.

If the fact the TV gantry was close to the Hibs support last night was what made it look/sound better than normal, having watched a fair bit of Villa TV in recent years I'm guessing it must have been moved for yesterday's game then 'cause I've rarely ever heard as noisy as last night (and sustained over a period of time too!)

[Bristolhibby]

I thought we competed just lacked the little bit of quality that the Villa kids had. Obviously.

Much closer than the 3-0 suggested. However you know Villa still had some more gears to go through.

They changed their team a bit, but it wasn't a young side. Only Duran (19), Kellyman (17) and Revan (20) could be described as kids. The subs they brought on were all experienced players as well.

I suppose it comes down to perception but his viewpoint seems to be in the minority.

I honestly can't remember opposition fans shaking hands after the game and telling me I was part of the best away support they have ever had before.

It's never nice to have to play the plucky losers but then it's also night like yesterday that give you a chance to really demonstrate your support.

You did us proud boys and girls - special!

Thanks for that,absolutely superb.Our fan base is class,all it needs is a winning team on the park

Sounded brilliant. Well done one and all.

[Hibernian Verse]

Yesterday was hands down the best away trip I've ever done. I thought Tripolis would never be topped (missed Luzern sadly) but what a support we have. Even though most of us were severely hungover by half time we kept going for 90 plus mins.

Importantly didn't see any trouble and both sets of fans mixed well in bars and on the train to and from the ground.

Quite a few Hibs fans still wandering about Birmingham centre this morning, all looking a bit bleary eyed.:greengrin

I was in the Trinity directly across from the Hibs fans. Great atmosphere. Villa fans singing Hi ho Aston Villa was also very impressive and loud. Fantastic stadium. The Trinity stand was massive. Puts Hampden to shame imo.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Said it before, if the team can't be memorable then make the fans memorable. Some nice comments from the Villa fans on their forum all of which seem to fly in the face of those of our tame Villa fan on here.

Have to say fair play to the guys and girls last night for doing Sunshine on Leith without the music, not a song that lends itself to being sung without it, probably the first time its ever been done in a stadium, so from that POV the Villa fans were indeed privileged to be there to hear it :greengrin

It's already been said, but Villa are currently on a whole different level to Hibs, so the only thing we really could do as a fanbase was make the most of the two games and enjoy ourselves.

I wasn't able to go last night but would love to have been there, regardless of the result.

I suppose it comes down to perception but his viewpoint seems to be in the minority.

I honestly can't remember opposition fans shaking hands after the game and telling me I was part of the best away support they have ever had before.

It's never nice to have to play the plucky losers but then it's also night like yesterday that give you a chance to really demonstrate your support.

It's not too hard to praise the plucky losers when you've won 8-0 on aggregate but that shouldn't detract from the show the Hibs support put on. Yes I see a few comments on the Villa thread that the vibe was more like a friendly/testimonial (and it's probably true to say there wouldn't have a similar rendition of SoL had the game been an end to end nailbiter) but it was still a top effort.

Always associated hi ho songs with wolves. Thought it was strange that was played

We have an unbelievable support. Actually quite emotional watching all the videos and seeing us praised all around the world...again. Really proud to be a Hibs fan.

That’s right mate. I shouldn’t have gone over to Andorra or Switzerland either.

Not sure about that. A game like this is a one off – do you really think that if Block 7 disappeared, there'd be an amazing atmosphere when we play St Johnstone in a few weeks? Those are the games where an organised group actively trying to create an atmosphere is a good thing.

Correct. People also tend to forget the link between atmosphere and alcohol. Hibbies were on the bevvy all day. Makes a huge difference whether we like it or not. City centre was bouncing yesterday.

Our supporters who made the journey down deserve all the plaudits they got last night and are getting this morning,in the English and Scottish football media,and of course the Villa supporters.
It seems they did themselves, our club and our city proud and endeared themselves to the folk of Birmingham and Aston.

Werent they superb !! We are Hibernian FC !!





Older Villa fans who recall a dark day/night at Villa Park will contrast our memorable visit to that infamous visit from guess who many years ago.
During a pre season "friendly"!

We got banjoed in the first leg but played much better in defeat last night. I'm a proud Hibby today and thats more to do with our fans than the team, although a much improved performance last night.

We are Hibs.

[He's here!]

You'd think nobody sang before these ultra groups 🤔

Plenty occasions, particularly in recent years, where the only significant crowd noise has been the groans as another misplaced pass gets hit. Big difference between last night and a run of the mill fixture where we're struggling. The fact the Ultras' purpose is to sing from start to finish no matter the score is a welcome thing.

Been easy to feel a bit downbeat with Hibs recently but that trip reinforced what we are about and that the fans are the club.

What a f@@@ing support many villa fans saying best away supporters in years that is something great ambassadors for the club so proud to be a hibby 🇳🇬🇳🇬

Not sure what everyone else's experience was but I thought the Villa fans were a good bunch as well, certainly the ones I interacted with.

Fans were mixed on trains to and from the game and it was all very good natured and post match they were gracious in victory.

I'v always quite liked Aston Villa and nothing that has happened over the last couple of weeks has changed that.

I was standing outside on my own waiting on someone and one of them tried to take the piss about how bad we were and whatever. Problem was whilst he was looking at me he forgot to look where he was going and proceeded to trip over the kerb. Even his mates were laughing at him making a tit of himself.

Then when I was in the queue an older guy came over and wished us good luck for the game which I found a bit odd!

[blackpoolhibs]

Had a pint with 2 lads in O'Neils, both probably mid 20s, and 2 nicer lads you couldnt meet.

They were saying they couldnt see them going somewhere to watch the villa if they were 5-0 down and really praised us for travelling.

Both were very excited at the team Emery is building, and are hoping for big things this season.

We wished each other the best for the season and i hope they really do have a good season, mainly for SJM but also for them pair, just a nice couple of lads. :top marks

John McGinn class as always clapping Hibs fans at end, was wanting his song at the end match!

The publicity /media attention wont have went unnoticed by those businesses/companies who wish to be associated with such positiveness,even in the face of defeat. Such hope for the future.
We made a lot of new friends,and new fans,on the back of last night .
Well done to all our ambassadors flying the Green flag in Birmingham these past few days.

These fans have been let down in this transfer window

[Leith Green]

These fans have been let down in this transfer window

I dont think the club have let the fans down , i think its down to whoever decided to spend the amount we spent at the top end of the pitch without spending money to add strength, power , and give us balance to complement newell and Levit. Was that Lee Johnson? Bryan Mcdermott?

**** knows , but the funds were put in to bring decent signings, i just think whoever decided on the approach of addressing the balance of our squad needs shot

[sadtom]

Does anyone know how many went down without a ticket? Were they all congregated together in town watching it? Any footage of the numbers that were in town but not at the game?

I was in town grabbing a bite to eat with the kids about an hour before KO. Still a fair few milling around Broad Street.

I had the motor so could leave it a bit late.

It was a super advert for the supporters of this club and to an extent for supporting it.

But in the end this was a jolly where we knew we had absolutely no chance of turning around the tie after the first leg, the fans had a choice, sit on their hands or show the best of themselves, they did the latter and full credit to them for it, they were a great advert for Hibs and the folk who support the club ... as someone else mentioned a few jars in the hours before kick off probably helped to loosen folk up :greengrin

I know quite a few folk who were at the game and most of them are pretty dedicated fans of the club, they will go no matter what and have been doing for years. That's the sort of fans we need, the folk who will turn up when we are mid table playing Ross County on a cold February day, not just make the most of trips to cup finals or European away games.

[The Pointer]

Tremendous support but the tartan army stuff was a bit cringey.

It's a dirge and was pointless, along with some other creepy stuff. Makes us sound like Poundshop soapdodgers.

[Itsnoteasy]

Was a very quiet atmosphere from both fans tonight especially Villa fans and that's coming from a Villa Fan. Was expecting Bono to come on at some point to score a penalty for charity was such a testimonial/charity feel of a game. Hope your fans enjoyed it all anyway.
