Hibs fans at Hearts penalty

[JimBHibees]

Hope every single Hibs fan throwing a missile tonight is identified and banned. Utterly pathetic

[DH1875]

Never a penalty. Joke of a desicion.

[Greensunshine]

To the guy who threw the pie, it backfired.

Shankland smashing his penalty into the top corner and then picks up the pie and starts eating it 😜🤣🤣🤣🤣

[flash]

Shut up ya fud

Why? He's right.

[USA_Hibee]

100%

[Hibeesdaft16]

There was me thinking it would be a thread to discuss the shambolic decision.

[Disco Dave]

Why? He's right.

Was to the original poster begging for folk to be banned.

[ElginHibbie]

Why? He's right.

:agree:

Can't be going around complaining about Rangers and Celtic fans when our own bunch are making an arse of the club

[Greensunshine]

Not ****ing one lighter hit Clancy!!!

Shame on every single one of you! 😂🤣😂🤣

[JohnM1875]

Was to the original poster begging for folk to be banned.

Aye, he’s right.

[bringbackbenny]

Was to the original poster begging for folk to be banned.

What would you do regarding our fans throwing multiple objects then? Pat them on the back? A warning?

[Hibeesdaft16]

Why? He's right.

Banned for throwing a cup onto the pitch flash in a derby at their **** tip after a penalty that has ****ing robbed us? Mate you've got old.

[wookie70]

Totally agree with the OP. The amount of objects thrown tonight for the whole game was shocking. We are worse at Tiny than the Uglies are at ER and there are so many total idiots in our support at the moment it is unreal. Surely we can just get a few camera looking into teh stand and start banning these idiots. To me it looks like the Police are fine with it as they never seem to do anything about it which of course just leads to it getting worse.

aye, there was the other thread going on about the Weegie pair and their pyro, and tonight some twat throws a green smoke bomb. Just a wee bit of double standards

Something needs to be done, and maybe cutting allocations is a starting point but if we do that others are just gonna do the same to us cause our support aren't completely innocent

Correct, Jim. Another frustration to add to the evening.

Harsh. 13, sweetheart.

[Carheenlea]

The missile throwing is definitely getting worse at Tynecastle. Only a matter time before someone does get hit by an object.

That said, I’m not going lie though, I was hoping the array of missiles and delays to clear pitch would be enough to put Shankland off.

[Hiber-nation]

Worst I've ever seen from our end, absolutely ridiculous and some of the stuff nearly hit our own players. As for the halfwit who nearly hit the ballboy with a smoke bomb, wow.

[flash]

And you've never been young?

You can be young without being a tit. It's not compulsory.

Hardly begging, they should be. Imagine the thread if this was at the other end.

Shankland ate the half eaten pie? That’s ****ing gross 🤢

Yes I have.

But I was smart enough to be able to adequately express the way I felt without committing an offence.

[Onceinawhile]

Clearly not a penalty.

Also not an excuse to throw missiles.

Same idiots throwing them wilm undoubtedly be talking about "hibs class" when they wake up tomorrow.

[LewysGot2]

Coked Up morons.
Likewise the idiots in Section N in the home end who were battering stewards en masse in the stands at the end of the game. Absolute cretins.

[Carheenlea]

It doesn’t make it acceptable in any way, but missile throwing tonight wasn’t exclusive to the Roseburn Stand.

[Springbank]

Terrible decision

I understand why folk were furious & you have to blame Clancy

An incendiary moment from a por ref that robbed us of the win

You could make a case he deserves all he gets

[GreenCastle]

Lucky fans didn’t invade the pitch with that awful decision from the ref.

Folk paying good money for the game to be run by an idiot.

Scottish football has an issue with away fans - until they sort it - incidents like tonight will continue to happen. Think flares etc at ER from away end too.

No, you have the wrong story. Righteous members of the do goodgers nation of .net of whom the majority have not went to a game for months/years (not you Flash) want to concentrate on the actions of some of our support and not why the crime of the penalty was given in the first place. That shafted us even when it went to var.

Oh well, I guess you had to be there.

[AL-Qaholik]

This thread is a pretty clear indication that a decent number of our support are just absolute ****ing muppets.

It is possible to be young and not a compete and utter cretin.

Go on, give it a bash.

What about all the times missiles are launched from the bottom of the East Stand when all the victim is doing is taking a throw in?
We have a real problem with this sort of stuff.

I've not missed a Derby for well over a decade and our fans were a disgrace tonight and that extends well before and after the penalty. The were throwing missiles with Hibs players closer to them than Hearts players. Even those morons must realise they are as likely to hit a player of a team they presumably support than a member of teh opposition. Smoke bombs chucked at ball boys and loads of missiles into the Hearts support too. Not really fussed if Hearts fans did it too they can deal with their own. It is about time we started getting these cretins out of our support. The supporters you are calling out are not righteous they are simply right.

Maybe because a big deal was made about the behaviour of away supporters at ER at last nights AGM only for members of our own support to act like absolute morons tonight?

The majority of our support were absolutely fine tonight. I've seen much worse at new year derbies in their ground.

Smoke bombs werent thrown at ball boys deliberately either, that's absolute pish. They threw ***** into out end from where I was over their **** new stand they used to call n.

The hibs.net fans might be right, but coming on a forum after being ****ed over against them and having a go at our own support from Chile or China? Aye nae bother.

Thread needs a name change then mate :greengrin

[JKeatings]

Theirs no way any of us in the ground knew how soft a penalty was giving, missiles keep up especially in the night games we won’t get them and we don’t want that. Goal celebrations tonight were brilliant

[ElginHibbie]

So you think singing songs is worse than throwing stuff that could hit someone?

[CL0762]

What are you on about a tit for tat?

Regardless of what people think about Hearts players, they were at their work tonight and were subjected to numerous projectiles launched directly at them. One of them clocked Shankland before a Hibs corner that he could’ve made a meal out of.

Also, comparing the singing of songs to actually being physically assaulted is wild in itself.

[Hibby70]

I wouldn't be surprised if we only get the upper 'tier' (no laughing at the back) next game at Tynecastle. Which quite frankly you couldn't argue with.

Utter morons.

[Hiber-nation]

Ignore him, he's at it constantly.

It’s utterly pathetic and cowardly. The whataboutery doesn’t help either.

Good point, I am off to bed, it's really late/early here in Chile/China

[Glasgowhibby95]

Regardless of how ridiculous the penalty was, there is simply no excuse for such ridiculous behaviour.

Brings shame and embarrassment on the club and the supporters who attend tynie without acting like absolute bams.

[LunasBoots]

Police and CCTV will no doubt identify some of the culprits and they will be banned, silly people.

[Hermit Crab]

Was always going to happen with a 7:45 ko. Add in that half the support there tonight are one game wonders/tynie day trippers. (you know who you are)

[I'm_cabbaged]

Should be ashamed that they missed that heid.

But seriously, why even think about it. Bams will be bams I suppose

[madbadlad]

“Bams will be Bams, was always going to happen.” Unless Hibs fans call this behaviour out, it’s akin (though not as serious) as the refugee chant against a certain Jambo. Totally unacceptable and detracts from what was otherwise a brilliant support last night.

[JimBHibees]

And all of the greasy tramps in the home end doing the same.

Absolutely

[givescotlandfreedom]

Never managed to get a ticket in the scramble. Might propose to chuck stuff on the pitch instead of watching the game if that helps.

[Pretty Boy]

Throwing stuff on the park is the mark of the moron. 'Ah but they are just young working class lads'. **** off with that nonsense. Social snobbery at it's worst implying they don't know any better. Plenty people that fit that description can go to the football without acting like a dick.

We had Hibs fans, quite rightly, calling out the club at the AGM for not tackling the issues with Celtic and Rangers. What moral high ground do we have now? Scottish football exists in a world of whataboutery and if our own house isn't in order then any statements about anyone else will be met with 'but what about that time......?'

[ShetlandHibby]

I was ashamed watching the behaviour of our ‘fans’ last night. It’s an embarrassing element of our support that act like wee neds. Some people just have no brains.

[7Hero]

Better behave a bit more mature or well get our allocation cut, that's a possibility..

[Liam89]

A lot of coke fuelled neds in our support unfortunately. Becoming worse and worse.

[WestStandWillie]

All fun and games until both clubs close off sections of the Roseburn and the East Stand at respective grounds for Derbies.

Bunch of wee two can dans that cannae handle their drinks.

[Glory Lurker]

Completely agree never an excuse.

[Scooter]

Agree with the op. Throwing stuff on the park is just ridiculous and needs to stop.

Aside from the fact it's dangerous and could cause harm. It damages the reputation of the club and fans. Also not even 24hours after where the CEO has called out The Rangers and Celtic and may reduce their allocation.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hearts do that to us know

[Not In The Know]

Fact the folk throwing stuff on the pitch can't see that their behaviour gives the media all they need to sweep the poor officiating under the carpet as they can focus on the fan behaviour instead tell you everything you need to know about how much thought they put in to their actions.

It's attention seeking, nothing more.

[.Sean.]

See all the folk making excuses for chucking the coins and vapes, you still be making excuses if our allocation gets cut and you canny get a ticket because of it? Because Hearts fans will be pushing for it, and they listen to their support.

Believe me I’ve done more stupid stuff than most when I’ve been full of it but lobbing coins and vapes and whatever else when you’ve just as much chance as hitting a Hibs player, or someone in your own support. Don’t get it

[Oranje39]

Yea, it was embarrassing to see. I agree they should all be banned for every ground in Scotland.

100% agree with this.

We know that any bad behaviour on our part will be highlighted just as bad behaviour on the part of the OF will be swept under the carpet and that the whataboutery police ( which includes the majority of our press and pundits ) are the first to play that particular card when anyone has the temerity to speak out against their beloved OF.

If they take a big chunk out of the allocation they have every justification to do so. It seems to be getting worse as well.

As for self policing, when I was 18/19 I tried to stop someone lobbing a bamboo flag pole at Hampden. I didn't manage to, and it hit a wee boy who was there with his grandad and resulted in lots of tears and I think they moved seats.

I got reems of abuse from the boy who threw it and all his pals, spitting at me and my friend and offering us out on stairs. We tried to ignore it and let it be, and eventually the thrower was ejected.

Fortunately the first half was so **** it was forgotten about - Falkirk semi.

Self policing will not work.

[CapitalGreen]

Throwing things at players is significantly worse than sectarian singing. It would be a massive brass neck from our club to call out other fans for songs while our own fans are regularly trying to injure opposition players. Based on last night and recent visits there, Hearts would be well within their rights to put up a net in front of the Hibs fans.

Certainly be but would have to put a net around other areas especially the corners for their fans too.....both clubs have to get together to get this stamped out....

Hibs have already discussed the sectarian singing, it came up at the AGM, and there is another thread about it.

Unfortunately it doesnt work particularly with some of the characters who come out for certain games

I get all the arguments about policing costs but entrusting safety in the stands to minimum wage, minimum trained stewards doesnt work in derbies and other flashpoint games. Polis in the stands , walking the gangways are the only real-time deterrents to try and stop incidents like you've described.

Unfortunately we have a policing culture which is reactive not proactive and which relies on trawling through cctv after the event rather than prevent it happening in the first place.

[The Modfather]

With the technology we’ve got now surely it’s easy to identify some of those throwing objects. Identify them. Ban them. Critically, publicly, without going as far as naming and shaming, give visibility of those identified and banned as a deterrent.

I wasn’t there last night, but more generally, actually stopping those too drunk from getting in. Derbies and Hampden, I’ve seen people literally almost unable to stand but never seen any of them ever refused entry.

[PatHead]

Wonder how well the singing section behind the goals will work with some of these tubes there?

At least them being up the terrace in the corner cuts down on the damage throwing things can do.

At Easter Road we have excellent CCTV system and can id people easily now.

Tynecastle is a dump and simply wont have the same system in place, which is probably why the police were also filming during the match.

No, but if they are i.d. they get a ban.

[Hiber-nation]

Allowing them all to be crammed into such a small space is a problem, making them harder to identify. Stewards can't do anything about it, they managed to move a few guys away from standing at the walkway above the lower section but it's an impossible task to move them all. So many empty seats around where I was near the back.

[Bostonhibby]

I didn't realise we had so many French members of Hibs First and ST holders.

So many empty seats around where I was near the back. The stewarding and policing at tiny is disgraceful. The horizontal walkway that splits the, don't laugh, upper and lower tiers was rammed the whole match.It will be an emergency walkway and those standing there basically stop other fans seeing the near goal. The same idiots that throw missiles and the same age group. I hate missing Derby matches but I now also hate going to Tiny nearly as much and that is all to do with the half wits in our support. Hearts may well reduce our allocation and it would be hard to blame them. I hope our club can do better in identify the culprits and banning them for a considerable length of time while also passing evidence to the police

[Hibernian Verse]

I've not seen it mentioned (may have missed it) but a green flare narrowly missing a wee ballboy who must have been terrified. It landed right at his feet before kick off.

Why are they always accused of being "coked up"? I see this all the time without any evidence. Folk have been throwing things on the park for as long as i can remember. Doesn't mean they're on anything. Just bams that can't control their emotions.

You need to take a visit to the bogs pre-match and at half time. Boys openly doing it at urinals in front of kids.

[Greenbeard]

Shankland ate the half eaten pie? That’s ****ing gross 🤢

What a weird wee guy he is.
Dodgy in the extreme. Who knows what that half-eaten pie was contaminated with. Hope he wasn't drug tested after the game!

[WeeRussell]

Was it the French visitors that threw the wine opener.

Those damn wineos from chile!

On that note, I’d have thought hibs.net would be the ideal way for Hibs fans living in Chile and China to keep in touch with all things Hibs!

Is it just that they shouldn’t be allowed to criticise assault and moronic behaviour if they don’t live in this country?

(Quoted you BS but question obviously not aimed at you👍)

[DH1875]

Not saying it was them but know someone who again had a ticket for last nights game despite not being a season ticket holder (he regularly gets tickets there and was also at Villa away).

There's not able to control your emotions and theres folk taking ching openly in the toilets. It's that brazen now they aren't even waiting for cubicles.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Hibs' fans behaviour over the last 7 or 8 years in category A games must be really concerning to the club. Only 2 nights ago we had questions at our AGM complaining about a certain clubs songs and antics when we play them

This place would be collectively foaming at the mouth if rangers fans were throwing missiles as we took a penalty or corner. It's also time the Mercer song is put to bed imo

Some hun like behaviour last night. Call it out Hibs. Unacceptable

[Pretty Boy]

Maybe missed something, what French visitors?

A wee group of Marseille fans.

[Frazerbob]

Coked up fannies. The queue for the cubicle in the Roseburn pre-match was ridiculous and it wasn't daft teenagers. Either a lot of folk sticking cleaning chemicals with about 5% coke up their noses or there was a serious tummy bug going around. As for the police, what a waste of time they were. No searches going into the stadium, not moving on the idiots who stand in the walkway between the tiers (aye I know) and standing by and watching the tits launch missiles at the pitch and into the Hearts support without arresting anyone.

How did they get tickets?

[babahibs]

No, you have the wrong story. Righteous members of the do goodgers nation of .net of whom the majority have not went to a game for months/years (not you Flash) want to concentrate on the actions of some of our support and not why the crime of the penalty was given in the first place. That shafted us even when it went to var.

Oh well, I guess you had to be there.

Well done admins for finally launching this ********, only question is why it took so long.
They've been relentlessly winding people up for a few weeks, it was pretty obvious from day one.

First time at Tynecastle in a few years (actually got fed up of missiles being thrown into the Hibs end from the Hearts end and the general lawlessness in our end).

The number of missiles thrown from the Hibs end must have reached 3 figures last night. It was pretty constant throughout the game. It looks too difficult to police properly so I suspect we are getting pretty close to a ban on away fans for the derby at Tynecastle and I imagine Hearts are keen to get STs sold for that area to include the Hibs game too. I think the derby as we know it is now in real danger. Very sad.

The lack of respect shown to and abuse of stewards who are trying to do their job (probably for minimum wage) is also terrible.

I know there has been an outcry about the penalty and the club making a statement but the behaviour of the fans is a bigger issue to me. The club have failed to take action in the past to address this and it’s getting far worse.

The stewarding and policing at tiny is disgraceful. The horizontal walkway that splits the, don't laugh, upper and lower tiers was rammed the whole match.It will be an emergency walkway and those standing there basically stop other fans seeing the near goal. The same idiots that throw missiles and the same age group. I hate missing Derby matches but I now also hate going to Tiny nearly as much and that is all to do with the half wits in our support. Hearts may well reduce our allocation and it would be hard to blame them. I hope our club can do better in identify the culprits and banning them for a considerable length of time while also passing evidence to the police

Agree 100%. I can't not go as I don't want to miss something special (a la Millenium Derby) but the crowd trouble is completely out of control. I can manage getting there ridiculously early to avoid the "corteo" but watching missiles fly back and forth and hitting players is really putting me off going in the future, especially an evening kick off.

[Gus]

If they take a big chunk out of the allocation they have every justification to do so. It seems to be getting worse as well.

As for self policing, when I was 18/19 I tried to stop someone lobbing a bamboo flag pole at Hampden. I didn't manage to, and it hit a wee boy who was there with his grandad and resulted in lots of tears and I think they moved seats.

I got reems of abuse from the boy who threw it and all his pals, spitting at me and my friend and offering us out on stairs. We tried to ignore it and let it be, and eventually the thrower was ejected.

Fortunately the first half was so **** it was forgotten about - Falkirk semi.

Self policing will not work.

I left after the 3rd goal went in, still get ripped to this day about it, ha

[He's here!]

I wouldn't be surprised if we only get the upper 'tier' (no laughing at the back) next game at Tynecastle. Which quite frankly you couldn't argue with.

Utter morons.

Absolutely. We're talking about cutting the Celtic and Rangers allocations at ER due to them throwing flares, but the moron count among our support, particularly at Tynecastle, just seems to get higher. As you say, we'd deserve to have our allocation cut.

[GreenCastle]

Throwing things at players is significantly worse than sectarian singing. It would be a massive brass neck from our club to call out other fans for songs while our own fans are regularly trying to injure opposition players. Based on last night and recent visits there, Hearts would be well within their rights to put up a net in front of the Hibs fans.

Throwing things is worse than Sectarianism?

Not sure about that statement - think Sectarianism is a bigger issue than a few bams chucking something onto grass.

Personally would just make an official announcement that anyone caught throwing any sort of objects onto the field of play will be banned (for life?), going forward.

I’ve got carried away and very angry watching football over the years, I’ve never once felt compelled to throw things at anyone.

Most of it isn’t a heat of the moment thing either, objects showering on to Shankland (as likely to hit Marshall) minutes later as he’s lining up the penalty.

Absolute ****ing morons.

[matty_f]

I saw on Twitter that they had got tickets from Hibs fans who gave up their tickets for them.

Obviously that's their prerogative but I think it's disappointing that, in a fixture where Hibs fans that want to go to the game can't get near a ticket, miss out for tourists. It's not really in the spirit of things.

I couldn't see any of the near goal line or most of the goal for the full game as there were so many stood on the walkway. There really isn't any policing or stewarding happening in our end and it has emboldened the morons who game after game get worse. Personally I'd make all derby games noon KOs on a Sunday to at least give those with half a brain less time to lose what faculty they have with drinking and taking drugs. It is getting to the point where it would make more sense to have our end ticketed but not for specific seats. That way it would be easier to avoid the worse of it and hopefully even see more of the pitch.

Tiny trips were by far my favourite away trip for about 45 of my 50 years watching Hibs. Since this and the previous set of Ultras it has become my least favourite away trip and that is al down to the morons that support us who have essentially been given the green light to do what they want by the police and stewards. It would be great if there was an officer on here who could explain why they let so much criminal activity go and appear never to do anything even after the event. Our fans are the cause but the Police and Stewards are key enablers and they really need to up their game

I'd go further than that. If Hibs incur costs due to fines, extra security or having to close off sections of the ground, then they should pursue these ****ers through the courts and get them to pay damages.

His view was that putting police into the walkway or seated areas meant that they wouldn’t have enough officers to deal with incidents elsewhere. The police did try to move some folk last night but once they went away the walkway filled up again.

It is becoming a chore being among elements of our ‘support’ at away games but those that appear for games at Tynecastle make it the worst away fixture of the season. It’s like being at an audition for Shameless.

Sectarianism is definitely a much bigger societal issue. No question and leads to much worse crimes.
However, you have to acknowledge, these people were not tossing things on the grass. These objects were being thrown at human beings and that is assault. The more serious implications come for our club. They have made and wish to continue making, representation to SPFL and SFA about the unacceptable, sectarian behaviour of the two large Glasgow teams’ support. In this world of whataboutery what chance do the club have of success?

There is simply no excuse for the behaviour of a section of our support last night. Let’s deal with what’s infront of us and stop trying to deflect.

[JimBHibees]

I didn't realise we had so many French members of Hibs First and ST holders. Amazing so many of them got tickets really.

What's this about?

[Itsnoteasy]

Was always going to happen with a 7:45 ko. Add in that half the support there tonight are one game wonders/tynie day trippers. (you know who you are)

And how is that? Surely most folk would be working ɓefore the game. There's more time to get p1sh3d before a 3pm Saturday k.o as not many folk work on Saturday.

[Carheenlea]

It’s another good or example for the promotion of Loyalty Points.

Someone made a good point recently that while yes, there is the usual sectarian chanting and pyrotechnics, the behaviour of Old Firm travelling fans tends not to be too bad on a behavioural level, as you need to be well up the list with points to access away tickets with being the most regular fans, then losing any rights they have or ticket access isn’t something that the most dedicated supporters are keen for.

To put it simply, fill Tynecastle with the most dedicated and regular travelling Hibs supporters and see the mindless acts dilute somewhat.

Most people were standing in walkways, stairways as they couldn't get to their seats through a combination of the idiotic seat numbering which makes finding correct seat a challenge, stewards unable to direct, other people in wrong seats, for a combination of not knowing where seat is, or not caring, a complete lack of control. Add in the dangerous state of the stadium - three people managing to find enough space to fall down the aisle next to us, almost no police in the stadium (but unecessary convoys of vans etc outside beforehand), it's an accident waiting to happen. We watched first half in the aisle, only getting to our seats at half time, of course on their return, there were a couple of disgruntled individuals now unhappy at the space they had in first half not being there for second! No wonder when there's such a break down of any control that morons think they can get away with anything - has anyone mention the guy in the ridiculous jacket who appeared on the park, What was that all about? With regard to the missiles, payers should really be leaving the pitch in my opinion when subjected to what went on last night, nobody doing their job should be subjected to that and be expected to carry on as though its not happening. Predictably the usual scapegoats are being blamed on here, but the worst of the throwing seemed to be from the area I was in directly behind goal and involved people of all ages, whilst the younger Ultras crowd were further to left.

[Se7enUp]

As much as I hate them derbies would not be the same without fans of both clubs able to create an atmosphere in decent numbers.

Yes, Sectarianism at football is essentially just playground name calling. Not nice but ultimately harmless in the context of a football stadium.

In terms of missles, Shankland got hit very close to his eye yesterday by a projectile while pyrotechnics were launched into the Hearts main stand where children were situated. Both incidents had the potential to cause much greater harm than a few hurty words that we’ve all heard countless times.

You know what I would do, and this wont be popular at all. I would do what Cardiff and Swansea do when they play each other. Make fans turn up to ER at say 5pm. Only then are you handed your ticket once you've been searched and shown relative ID and then you're put on a waiting coach and bussed straight to the ground with no opportunity to get reeking before it. You're then funnelled straight into the ground.

Unpopular yes. Will it stop trouble? More than likely.

It will never happen though.

We don't want the derby going the way of the OF with no away fans so all this trouble has to stop.

Chucking stuff on the pitch or at opposing fans should be an automatic banning offence with reports sent to the procurator fiscal. It's pathetic, unsporting and dangerous - and brings our club into disrepute. No excuses for anyone - home or away - get them tae ****!

I don’t agree with HC at all on this being the solution, but why does our stadium being closer to tynecastle make it ridiculous? If anything it would be easier and quicker to operate..

[wookie70]

The solution is give out lengthy/lifetime bans for anyone caught and actually police the game properly. I see lots of incident that should be worthy of arrest every time I am at Tiny. The Police must be the same but they stand and watch. All it needs is for them to start doing their job and it would calm down pretty quickly. I see someone on twitter was caught with pyro and is expecting a ban possibly life after a day at court. That was outside the ground where the Police do seem to do the odd search. Glad at least one idiot will get a ban and hopefully many more are caught, prosecuted and banned.

It probably requires a joint statement from both clubs on the matter and one that states what the implications of this continued behaviour will be.

For me, it's the police that have brought this on by their refusal to deal with almost anything within the stadium. It's given the idiots, from clubs the length and breadth of the country, free rein to go about their ****my ways with little repercussions.

This. It’s not about saying ‘they’re worse than us’ or anything like that. There’s just quite a sizeable number of folk on both sides who find it difficult to behave themselves though.

Even last night, you can condemn the throwing of all the missiles from our end but still observe Marcondes getting stuff launched at him and their wee dafties scrapping with the police and stewards down in the corner.

If they cut us, we’d cut them. I hope it doesn’t get to that stage. Last night was the worst I can remember from our end though.

Yup, to many people on the sauce and what ever else for most of the day, we see this to often specifically in later in the day games, just seen a picture of what was chucked at shankland and it looks like a corkscrew, can't really blame them if that's what's been chucked.

It was absolutely awful what happened last night and very embarrassing that the clubs good name is getting tarnished by these people , they aren't genuine fans imo that care about the club , they are out to cause trouble and don't give a damn about what is the consequences for the club either . Between the flare landing near the young lad , the corkscrew and other stuff thrown at Shankland it's only a matter of time before somebody's seriously injured . It has to STOP and the only way that can happen is the club ban them , clubs better of without them imo anyhow.

I completely agree about the diminishing police presence and lack of intervention. It’s shockingly poor and there will be a number of reasons for that. I’d imagine.

As I understand it, historically clubs were responsible for and had to pay for police presence only within the confines of the stadium. Policing outside of the stadium remained the responsibility of the police as if it were normal public policing. I guess that still the case?

The police, and other local authority organisations have an input for issue of safety certificates based on their various areas of responsibility. But these areas each has a cost consideration and you have to think policing was the largest of these costs. Against a background of financial restraints on the clubs, a number of years ago, maybe as much as 25/30 years or more, the “category” system was introduced that allow clubs to reduce the huge cost of policing for certain, less contentious, matches. The category system was introduced.
The expensive games, category A games, remained Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts. Plus European matches. That was also when a proportion of the crowd control was offset against the introduction of stewards. In some very low risk games we could see there was almost no police to be seen but stewards were prominent, supported by the police presence. The police were not slow to back up stewards or to step in completely when needed in category B and C games. Category A games seemed to be prominently police.

It seems to me the balance of that arrangement has tilted too far towards stewarding. We rarely see the police intervening any more. It looks like a recipe for disaster to me too. You may have hit the nail firmly on the head that fans and supporters have been given an inch and taken a mile. But clubs may simply but be able to afford higher policing costs.

No idea where the blame lies but surely it’s time all of these authorities got together and put in place effective controls before someone gets badly hurt.

[Alfred E Newman]

It was absolutely awful what happened last night and very embarrassing that the clubs good name is getting tarnished by these people , they aren't genuine fans imo that care about the club , they are out to cause trouble and don't give a damn about what is the consequences for the club either . Between the flare landing near the young lad , the corkscrew and other stuff thrown at Shankland it's only a matter of time before somebody's seriously injured . It has to STOP and the only way that can happen is the club ban them , clubs better of without them imo anyhow.

Completely agree. The club should work with Hearts to identify as many of the culprits as they can and make sure they are banned indefinitely. There were many good fans who support the club week in week out that couldn’t get tickets last night and I would wager most of those responsible for the missile throwing were the usual air heads that always seem to appear at these games.

[Kato]

Oh don’t get me wrong, Kato. Neither of them were close to being penalties.

My point was about RS choosing to show the run-up to the incident without actually showing the alleged offence itself, which is strange..[emoji106]

That is awful given how difficult tickets are to come by and loyal Hibs fans miss out.

It’s no different any other derby. Just usually it’s not so obvious as giving day trippers from overseas a ticket…seriously Block 7 keep outdoing themselves. Tone deaf entitlement.

[matty_f]

Hearts manager on tv tonight saying it’s that type of behaviour that will get Hibs Ticket Allocation Cut

To be honest, I’m not sure we’ve got a leg to stand on if they choose to do that. There’s no moral high ground for us to take with it, Hibs need to be all over it and set the example so when it happens with other teams, which it will, we can say we’ve dealt with our fans so they need to deal with theirs

[matty_f]

It's about time Block 7 were suspended indefinitely from Easter Road and in all Hibs away allocations until they learn how to behave themselves.

From what I’ve been told, the missiles were coming from further back than where the Block 7 guys were, so I’m not sure they’re to blame here.

[marinello59]

It can’t be levelled at them at all, they took no part in it.

I say ‘hoods’ not because they’re hard wee boys, but because they all wear their hoods.

:aok: good to have that confirmed.

[Hibernian Verse]

There were missiles being thrown from the “upper” (I use the term loosely) tier, just bams being bams. Plenty cans being thrown on the famous walk to the ground and fireworks aimed at flats.

[marinello59]

Maybe they spread themselves out to try not get blamed?

Nope. They were all down at the front of Block L.

[Hiber-nation]

Nope. They were all down at the front of Block L.

I was near the back of block M and most of the missiles were coming from behind them and to the right of them, from both the lower and near the front of the upper tier.

[B.H.F.C]

It can’t be levelled at them at all, they took no part in it.

I couldn’t honestly say if anything came from their area or not, I don’t think any of us could. There was stuff coming from all angles, not just at the penalty. I’ve never been their biggest fan but I certainly wouldn’t be blaming them for it last night.

Aye, it’s difficult to tell at the best of times.
However this was one of those rare situations where, given where I was standing in relation to Block 7, I am 100% sure they were not involved in the chucking off stuff on to the pitch. And I’m not one of their biggest fans either.

How the did the French ***** get tickets? Yet I know plenty fans who didn't stand a chance.

Kids - cut out the utterly ***** behaviour and support the club, you are ruining an unreal opportunity.

[joe breezy]

I saw on Twitter that they had got tickets from Hibs fans who gave up their tickets for them.

Obviously that's their prerogative but I think it's disappointing that, in a fixture where Hibs fans that want to go to the game can't get near a ticket, miss out for tourists. It's not really in the spirit of things.

If a Hibs fan wants to give a ticket to someone that’s made the club fort to come from Marseille then good for them

[Hermit Crab]

I think a particular problem at Tynie is the amount of non ST holders that get their hands on tickets. They have nothing to lose if they behave badly. Can’t exactly have their Sts taken off them and even if they get banned someone will still buy them a ticket.

I honestly think the way forward is a ticket collection on the day of the game from a random place in Edinburgh, like a hotel or something and you only get your ticket if you have suitable ID and your ST with you. It won’t stop trouble completely but it would certainly help.


I did suggest fans being bussed from ER to the game but that wasn’t popular

[jakeshibs]

Hope every single Hibs fan throwing a missile tonight is identified and banned. Utterly pathetic


Totally agree, we complain about the ugly sister then act like idiots throwing missiles at apposing players, would not be surprised to see a hefty fine and a decrease in our allocation, so a severe own goal that impacts us all.

we can not talk about Hibs class when we act like that.

It’s weird, Scottish football crowds are treated with contempt but some also get away with behaving like animals. From sectarianism to flares to projectile throwing there’s no serious intent to stamp it out.

This was discussed at the club AGM. I am paraphrasing here but Ben K said he, on behalf of the club, has raised this a number of times with the SPFL and found Hibs, along with the majority of clubs, are not listened to. We will keep banging on the door until we are heard but it was clear Hibs are not ignoring these problems.
What a portion of our supporters did at tynecastle the other night can only have pulled the rug from under our own club’s efforts to make change. They have probably set us back decades.

Like i said, it’s their prerogative. The issue is that these tickets are meant to go to folk on the database, as much for security reasons as to ensure that as many Hibs fans get to go as possible. It’s the highest demand fixture for Hibs fans and the one where most people who go regularly to games miss out.

Buying tickets en mass for folk who clearly aren’t Hibees just feels, to me, a bit off - but at the same time, they bought the tickets, it’s up to them what they do with it. I’m not losing sleep over it.

[Greensunshine]

I’ve been going to the football for 40 years, I’ll admit to singing daft sectarian songs back in the eighties from the old east but I can honestly say I’ve never thrown anything onto the pitch.

The people doing this need to be singled out and banned. The technology is there to do it.

To start cutting allocations isn’t a good idea.
You only need to look at what it’s done for the OF derby, it’s much less of a spectacle now than it once was.

Punish the culprits and not the majority of law abiding football supporters please!

Couple of things - Ron Gordon was an allround good guy who didnt try to obliterate his city rivals from the face of the earth. I'm not fond of the Mercer song(s) but there are reasons for them. If Hearts fans sung about Gordon it would he very different.

Also, It wasnt just kids throwing things - I watched a bald guy in his fifties few rows in front of me for example chucking something from his pocket.

[Carheenlea]

I must say that Shankland has gone up in my estimations and have a bit more respect for him now than I had previously for the way he conducted himself through the penalty sideshow.

He could have made a big song and dance and over what was admittedly a barrage of missiles, but lapped it up and seemed to enjoy the volatile moments and even laughed as the corkscrew whizzed past.

Kind of reminded me of the way Riordan used to embrace the more unsavoury elements of a derby day atmosphere.

The Mercer song is disgusting. I was around when all that stuff was kicking off back in the day ( hands off Hibs ) and believe me I like every other Hibee wanted a hit man to take him out to stop him trying to kill our club.

I’ve since grown up and I’ve come to realise that I don’t hate anyone, I don’t want anyone taken out by a hit man. lol
I refuse to lower my standards by singing such songs.

We can’t be taking the moral high ground when it comes to the ugly sisters and then on the other hand sing disgusting songs ourselves and throwing objects at footballers.

It’s hypocrisy of the highest order! It needs to stop.

They've already cut our allocation by cropping tge seats available in the wings; they get nearly 4000, we get just over 3000.

Hearts fans are nowhere near angelic. Their nutters are as bad as ours. There has been plenty ***** from them at ER. Opposition teams, like the huns, virtually say a big support gives them a major boost. Let's cut Hearts down to 3k, like for like, and then chip away from that as and when they start on us.

Yeh yeh, save me the whataboutery, it has to be dealt with and start somewhere. The dangerously stupid people amongst our support handed that initiative to hearts.

[Carheenlea]

Hopefully the clubs can iron things out and the actions of a few won’t prevent the spectacle of full away stands at derbies in the future.

The Edinburgh derby is now the premier derby in Scotland, largely because we can enjoy scenes like this, and they enjoy similar to what we had to suffer at new year.

Agreed. I think Hibs need to make it clear we will only take restrictive action if hearts fans cross the line in future, as they have in the past. The quicker the message gets across the quicker we get back to talking about football spectacle and not delinquent behaviour off the park.

Proper policing at games would help significantly rather than the woke stuff we see at present.

When was the last time a murder was attributed to sectarianism at a Scottish football game?

Just a wee smidgen melodramatic don't you think? This is 2024 afterall, and religion is something that is, for better or worse, becoming less and less relevant.

Just to be clear, I am NOT defending bigotry, I am saying that in 2024 we, Hibernian Football Club, have issues amongst our own fans and should be doing everything we can to prevent them from happening again before a player on the pitch gets injured because of the moronic behaviour of our supporters.
