Block 7 (again)

[.Sean.]

2 sets of delusional fantasists cutting about like it's the 80's all over again, an era when most of them weren't even a twinkle in their dad's eye.

They’ll be glad it’ll be a while until we’re in Europe again, could you imagine them against a proper mob of European ultras? Leathered up and down Easter Road if they could be found

I genuinely wish they’d just **** off. Their TIFO was good yesterday but other than that, they were Block Silent for most of yesterday and were out sung by the Hearts equivalent twats in black.

I think the atmosphere has gone backwards since they appeared.

Display looked good to be fair. Wallace Mercer song needs put to bed. He's been dead nearly 20 years. Half these kids weren't even born.

[Frazerbob]

There's now 3 VERY large Block 7 graffiti murals outside the stadium. One on a tenement wall and 2 on the graveyard wall.....one quicte a way down St Clair Street. They are not exactly hiding the fact that they are responsible. They must think we're in Buenos Aries or Athens or such like. I can not understand why the club gives them the time of day with that, on top of all the previous issues.

They weren’t silent and they weren’t outsung by Hearts fans. Only heard the Hearts fans are they scored and were celebrating like they were top of the league and winning against a pretty average Hibs team they thought they were going score plenty past but only had 2 shots on target.

The atmosphere has been decent and without them the stadium would be really quiet at smaller games.

If they could just avoid the fighting outside the stadium and be a little more unique that would make more fans tolerate them.

You think? I was quite near them in the East and can only ever really hear the drum. Are some of them shy? Do they just sing really quietly? Smaller numbers of fans tend to make much more of a noise in the South.

I wouldn't say they were silent, but they were outsung by the Hearts fans. That's just the way it seems to go though. It's the same when we go to Tynecastle, our end is much louder than the other 3 home stands.

It certainly looked like they had been told they didn’t have permission to use the FF upper as the poor stewards were trying to stop them getting up the stairs from the lower when we were going up.

They were just pushing past the stewards and the one female steward who was on the stairs was getting a really hard time from them as she tried unsuccessfully to stop them pushing her out the way. Most were kids / teenagers but one was an adult who had his face fully covered with a mask.

Admittedly, I sit in the main stand and nearer the away end so I'm likely to be able to hear the away fans more but that being said, if they are signing, it can't be heard 80 yards away. Even in the other games we've played, those around me can barely hear them.

They've been given that area by the club on the proviso that they create an atmosphere. They aren't.

Instead they're wandering about stadiums wearing balaclavas, graffitiing the proximity of our stadium, kicking people out of their seats at away games, sticking stickers about Ibrox celebrating the Ibrox disaster and fighting other groups of balaclavad wee phannies.

They offer zero value and are a complete embarrasment.

is that their or anyone’s remit? If we have deferred creating an atmosphere to one designated group that’s your problem right there.

In the old East it was organic. Mainly the east that instigated stuff generally led by bams under the gantry but I’ve never heard such bleating about groups creating or not creating atmosphere. It’s down to all of us. Far too easy as Alexander Oneal sang to criticise. But ask ourselves what are we doing?

that said I don’t buy into the identikit chants, uniform and behaviours but at least they are trying. Dont see others taking up the mantle. How did it come to this? It’s like part of our identify has been left int he past. Quite possible either the mojo cause by the merry go round of players and managers.

I agree that it was better when we never had anyone taking up the mantler. Now the east seems to be waiting for them to start it. Tbf the east started up themselves on Sunday a couple of times as B7 were that quiet.

Loads of European teams do this, displays are closer to the pitch and very seldom smoke goes into the stands,stops fannies bringing their own. As for the asthma sufferers I think its better the club organises these things then you will get less illegal 5hit in the stadiums. It works. Also, folk are warned beforehand.

[CentreLine]

I thought one of the arguments against pyrotechnics was that their illegal inside a football stadium?

My understanding too. Not to mention the danger created by acrid smoke and poor visibility. If that picture represents what Aberdeen have in mind serious question have to be asked about their commitment to fan safety. I suspect what they actually have in ind are these daft flame machines we see at games, including our first game at ER this season. I like them about as much as I like the infernal drum but at least they are safer than huge amounts of smoke.

[Scouse Hibee]

Only illegal if used by unlicensed punters, organised displays by licensed operators are fine.

[AdidasHibernian]

I must admit I'm more on the Block 7 are wee f****S however not one person can knock the tifo at the weekend. It should be allowed and more often as I feel it helps the fans engage more and hopefully help give the players a lift. Also adds a positive dynamic to the stadium and let's be honest loads of teams do it now.

[Unseen work]

I thought it was a brilliant save at the time.

Seeing it back it’s a routine save and one he should make.

Tell me, why shouldn't we all embrace deeply offensive stickers on seats, forcing people to move from their purchased seats, dressing in identikit chav clothes, singing songs no one else knows the words too, incessantly banging a drum and not watching the game at all, being orchestrated by someone old enough to be our grandad (Fagin), being loathed by lost of your own fans.

I mean c'mon, it's a no -brainer.

[Scouse Hibee]

Are you the spotter?

Yeah and probably watches Green Street before every game.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Perhaps the Hibeebuzs should do a pixelated out interview with this dude folks are referring to as “Fagin” to tell his side of the story. You never know he might just be looking out for his son? As opposed to orchestrating some dystopian mayhem…

I do find it a bit odd and I’m not really a fan of the ultras but I guess I tick the age range box too far to the right to be “down with the kids” having a “brat autumn” or whatever sheet they come up with.

B7 operate a Senior Citizens Care Program, where CCS members from the 1980s can attend games in safety and get to dress up like today's Yoof.

Personally I think it's an admirable cause.

Absolutely not. Turning against Kensell might actually get them banned, you should be encouraging that chant as much as possible.

Ben had a face like fizz when he walked into the Chairman's Club after the game. You could clearly hear the chant in the Director's area. Saying that my face would have been similar given the way the game was stolen from us. I think that particular relationship will be finished now given the Derby Tifo and now today's chant.

[itslegaltender]

First game in FF today and got an insight on them. Pre kickoff 3 wee guys, maybe not even in their teens using a pen knife to scrape some unintelligible graffiti on a door in the toilets. Older teen came in and basically gave them coaching on where they should and shouldn’t be doing vandalism. It’s a cult like setup, it’s something we should be hunting out our club. I did inform a steward of what I saw and pointed out the three of them. No idea if anything got done.

Remember 18 months ago he said he was going to be taking on the establishment. It was said at an AST event.

Was putting himself on the league fixtures committee as he was fed up (or we are) of being sent to Dingwall midweek in the middle of winter. He also said he'd be raising the perception decisions we're not going our way in a law of averages way...

Since then, we've been sent to Dingwall at Halloween midweek, have had probably less of a crack of the whip decisions wise...

This year's event he tells us he thinks we've ended up worse off because we complained...

Re his ego and indulgence of certain groups if he wasn't happy today the hand that feeds was always going to be bitten...if he couldn't foresee that then he's in the wrong job

Thought b7 were good yday, backed the team from start to finish with pretty much zero % of the rest of stadium joining in.
And they did sing more traditional songs aswell and guess what, still no one joined in.

Of all the many problems with our club at the moment, B7 is very far down my list of priorities.

Bit more too it than that, their behaviour especially at away games has been well documented and people have the right to go to an away game and not be bullied out of their seat (and that has happened regularly).

Sort out stuff like that and they are a very welcome addition to the club.

Amazingly, some of us went to football when we were young and didn't act like fuds.

YOung masked boys dressed in black, is this your inner weirdo fetishsising Block 7?

[Broxburn Greens]

They also had slightly less enthusiastic chants of “Malky, Malky GTF” and “Sack The Board” after the Kensall chant.

It’s got to start somewhere so good on them, they are only vocalising the feelings of the majority of the support and making Kensall uncomfortable is a good thing although he’ll probably have a cry to the EEN about it or something.

My 12yo daughter bought a pack of their stickers yesterday outside the FF and the 3 lads couldn’t have been nicer.

They’ve grown on me a wee bit but they still need to try and connect with the wider support and not think because they’re more vocal it makes them bigger or better supporters.

They can start by remembering to put the flags down when the play is at the FF end of the ground…. Thanks 😉

I grew up in the era of open terraces. My later teenage years were deeply influenced by the new wave music and the politics of the likes of the Jam and the Clash.

There is no way I'd have been parading around like a reject from Hitler youth and annoying/intimidating adult Hibs fans at away games.

I had lots of fun and wasn't always saintly, but our high jinks and japes were not at other Hibs fans expense.

They're a stain on the club. Think they're above other supporters at away games, that stupid drum and the whole covering your face (sorry but if you are covering your face, it's clearly as you're not going to behave like a normal human being)

Block7 get a lot of criticism and some of it is fully deserved.
Yesterday we were stood right beside them and when they first came in with the drum I thought we would need to move seats - but we had a good laugh with them and thought they helped to create a really good atmosphere so fair play to them.

[Brizo]

Brilliant atmosphere at Pittodrie yesterday with much of it initiated by B7 including a mixture of traditional Hibs classics and newer stuff. I've still got the new version of "sheep ****ging *******s" stuck in my head :greengrin

We were a few rows behind them so had a close up view of them and sure I spied the mythical "Fagin" figure amongst them , thirty years older than them and equally identifiable by not being totally dressed in black.

Would never condone times when they have embarrassed the Club and wouldn't have wanted to be standing beside them, but can't deny they added to yesterdays atmosphere.

Starman is the Boyle song.

[Itsnoteasy]

No it wouldn’t.

Without their constant droning, boring pish - the rest of the support would have made some noise.

They are atmosphere killers, not creators.

Several occasions they sung the old classics & no one joined in

The only time I heard any of the old classics with any real volume it had started in the East. They joined in.

[Pretty Boy]

I thought they were fine today.

When they are paggering stewards then I'll criticise them. Singing at home, all songs that were belted out with gusto by huge numbers at Tynecastle btw, then it just seems a bit curmudgeonly to be digging at them.

This 100% - the steward paghering and other ***** behaviour by balaclava wearing dingles is reprehensible - but filling that space BTG and making a racket in support of the team every game is a very welcome development indeed.

surprisingly I was in the FF Upper and thought the boy with the Megaphone had a great game :)

they must have conjured up a drum kit for Merry Xmas eff the Hearts iirc…

they were delighted to get Hearts asleep falling apart in again after full time.

[Onceinawhile]

Dancing in the dark is a Josh Campbell song.

It has the words Josh campbell's on fire at some point. But I stood behind them at kelty and still couldn't figure out the words.

[The Baldmans Comb]

Top class support yet again from start to finish with a clever mixture of old and new songs.

There wasn't a lot happening on the pitch for some considerable time but the young lads constant encouragement was never diluted and they did a fine job in supporting the team.

[CapitalGreen]

The drumming for Last Christmas was excellent.

[Swedish hibee]

Well done B7. Sounded great.

[hibee]

They will be better once they realise the drum actually drowns them out and kills the atmosphere unless you’re standing right next to them.

I sit above them and could hear the killie fans over block 7 singing and make out more of the words.

I'd like the more musically gifted among them to play a trumpet, clarinet etc. Some of the top French rugby teams have full on bands in the stand and that is great. I don't mind B7 when they are behaving but the drum on its own is a pain in the arse. I sit front row of ff upper! 🙉

Hard agree. The away performances are enhanced by the greater positivity (a lot of that down to the vibe created by Block seven) of the away support, which is devoid of the habitual moaners at the home games. Many at ER seem to just want to vent their spleen about life in general, and are too cheap to splash out on therapy.

To my mind they are far bigger pests than the Block Seven guys.

I'd be surprised if there are any budding Acker Bilks in B7 but you never know :greengrin. A Hibs version of "Strangers on the shore" maybe "Rangers are no more" for this Sunday would be timely and appropriate.

Compare that to an anecdote from my colleague who has a season ticket at Ibrox. He said there was a Northern Irishman sat behind him on Thursday who, when their fans were singing the song that goes to the tune of Caledonia, said;

“I like this song but we need more bigotry”

They had a police escort to the ground - they were walked in surrounded by police. At the end of the game there was an incident in the home ultras inside the ground. We wondered if they were being kept in as they suddenly started trying to run at/get past a fair number of stewards and police in their bit of the home end. Got messy.

I’d imagine a hell of a lot more than what has happened this season anyway, especially considering all that has gone before.

This board has been shambolic for our club. They should not be forgiven because of this 10 game spell. The same ten game spell with only one loss and yet our club has only managed to get into the top six.

That is not anywhere near acceptable for this club. And it all comes from the shambles laid onto the latest manager by the charlatans in charge.

Football moves fast, and we are certainly enjoying a good spell but see Aberdeen to check just how fast it can all change again.

Lets take stock at the end of the season, and then perhaps again at the end of the next season.

If this board, CEO, and chariman can oversee some relative sustained success for a change, then they can at last point to something worthwhile in their time here.

It would take a lot more than doubling our 2019 budget to enable us to field a team of £1m players.

[Jack]

It would take a lot more than doubling our 2019 budget to enable us to field a team of £1m players.

Trying not to dwell on this however ... according to Transfermarkt we had 5 players valued at around £1m or more in the squad season 20/21; Porto, Doig, Jackson Irvine, Boyle and Nisbet.

Given the target was to double the player budget in 3 years and this is now 5 (give a bit of leeway for covid) since that statement perhaps my original million pound players all over the park wasn't so unreasonable.

We currently have 2 in the squad. One, Miko a loan, were not sure if he's good enough - even on the odd occasion he's available and the other in apparently in France sussing out a move!

A long way off the vision we were sold.

[Pete70]

Playing budget and transfer budget are not quite the same thing though. I’m sure most, if not all the players in this seasons squad will be earning more than those in 20/21 did.

[DarrenSQH]

Up the RA and f@@k the Queen lyrics added to songs.

Palestinian flags being flown

Cups and a vape thrown in the first half.

A few on the pitch when they we scored.

Dhanda hit with a disposable vape when he scored.

All this in light of the statement we issued on Monday. These doughnuts are going to get us into bother with their antics and are going to make it very difficult for us to call out other teams fans behaviour if they can’t actually behave themselves.

Embarrassing stuff to be honest. They need to sort themselves out quickly. This won’t have went unnoticed by the club this evening.

I like how it used to be that anyone could start a song - bellow out a “Weeeeee arrrrrre…” or similar and guaranteed someone would join in. With a repetitive thud thud from both home and away fans there’s just no chance of that spreading as quickly as it done. Was far more equitable.

I'm looking forward to classics like 'the ballad of Thorsten Shmugge' and 'who put the ball in Killie's net' (Bjarni Larusson version).

Looking forward to hearing the Siggur Ros/Gus Gus remix...Lol!

Even weirder is that halliday was never included in that song. It was callaghan
Give them a break, they were about two year old when Ambrose was at Hibs, there’s only so much you can make out on echoey YouTube videos 😂

[linlithgowhibbie]

In the rear of S43 where most of these songs started and were taken up by many, there are young kids 5-8 year old with kiddie I pads and ear mufflers to deaden sound sitting taking no interest in the game. I cannot for the life of me understand why their mums and/or dads get tickets for them there. If concern for the wee ones surely a ticket nearer the corners or front would be better.
I'm delighted that these kids are coming but feel the loss of the designated family area has had an effect on the atmosphere building in this and possibly other areas

For an alleged "writer", this piece by an ex-cop is all over the place. Apart from the reference to disorder at the recent cup final, this has little to do with football or the Ultras movement.

A ‘has been’ trying to be relevant. Total nonsense.

Just some auld bugger trying to be relevant with twisted crap. "Trapped in a cycle of low wages AND high taxes"??? That is err ... no one.

Why is the banner still upside down…. Results have changed for the better, we are in the top 6 and Kensell is gone…: what else is there to protest about?

For MM I would take it.

To be fair are we not unbeaten since it went upside down? Keep it until that changes.

They were great, proper old school hibs songs second half and even got some in the West joining in!

I can’t hear a thing they sing from where I am, just the drum, slightly nearer to the south stand tbf.

[Carheenlea]

The “WAHFC” that rung round the ground in closing stages was rousing.

Wasn’t a kind of game that had fans overly excited but a unified chant of relief and celebration knowing the game was pretty much won.

[WeAreHibs]

Thought there was a decent atmosphere all round today. Particular credit to the East who were back on top vocal form.

[OstKurve Hibs]

Why the hate for the Palestine flag ? Didn't hear a peep when it was Ukraine or rainbow flags.

[HibeeMackenzie]

What was the song to Bella Ciao that they were singing for about 20 minutes at the start of the second half? Been stuck in my head since even though I couldn’t tell you one word that was sung

[we are hibs]

Some people on here care far too much about Block 7.

Embarassing

Showing solidarity for an oppressed people is embarrassing eh. Especially relevant when the UK government is complicit. Anything against colonialism is good in my book.

[Keith_M]

When I was in my teens, there was a song about Michael Fagan regularly sung by the younger Hibs Fans on the East Terrace ('The sky is blue, the grass is green...'). That wasn't even the worst of the songs on the go at the time.

While I'm not keen on a lot of their choices of songs, I can't help but think it's just the latest incarnation of young fans trying to be a bit 'edgy'.




(but I still hate that F'ing drum!)

[hibee]

I don’t understand why we have different rules for different parts of the same stand, block 7 can have massive flags, drums, drum sticks, openly smoke, vape and hold pyro right in front of the stewards but that’s all ok, they seem to have their own special stewards.

Yesterday a kid in front of me going into the FF upper was refused entry with a little flag because it had a small pole for him to hold it, makes no sense, even if they have something as simple as a fruit shoot drink they are stopped!

If you want to discuss the specific political points then feel free to do it on the Holy Ground. We have always tried to keep this place for football only though we appreciate there is the occasional blurred boundary. We really don't want to be closing the thread.

:agree:

[Frazerbob]

Time to close the thread

[HNA11]

Clearly previous warnings have fallen on deaf ears so regrettably this thread is going to have to be closed whilst we take a look at it and try to sort things out.

[HNA11]

Thread now reopened.

I have been a bit ruthless because as shocking as it may be to some my idea of a good Sunday isn't deleting a whole load of posts bickering about a flag.

Apologies to anyone who got caught up in the crossfire of the deleting spree.

I agree, young men being young men.
The youth are revolting, they've always been revolting
Desperate to be noticed like every generation at the football since the late 60's.
The present lot are pretty tame ... at the moment and the abuse they get on here is disproportionate.
We could do with another 1000 of them to help fill the masses of empty green seats.

P.S. saying all that, i'm very glad my seat is half the length of the pitch away from that bloody drum :wink:

[jakedance]

Strangely enough Block Seven aren’t bugging me nearly as much now we’re winning. Go on the young team.

Agreed. I even find myself quite liking Craig Samson these days.

Amazing what a winning team can do.

[A Hi-Bee]

Ban the drum, easier than ban the bomb, ban the flags as well in fact make sure that anyone below the age of 16 is accompanied by a responsible adult, and they should only speak when spoken too.
Thats the way to do it.
Noisy bassas.

What happened to free speech?

What happened to free speech?

It is alive and well. If you read the posts above you'll see the mod has said you are free to post on the holy ground.

Yup but some of the posts have remained so quite selective in whats been taken out. Not free speech if posts have been removed just a mod on a power trip 🤣

No idea as the drum just drowns them out. All I could hear was the Liverpool Luis Diaz lyrics - in my head.

The acoustics of our stadium doesn’t help but the incessant drumming stops other fans knowing what is even being sung.

[Dashing Bob S]

Deserve a thread of their own.

[DH1875]

Wait till they start handing out flyers at home games telling folk how they have to behave.

[Scottie]

Holy moley what have I missed with all the deleted posts on here can someone enlighten me :dunno:

Nothing awful. Just a thread that had gone down a cup-de-sac about politics and flag waving.

That's not what happened.

The thread had a gone a bit political and, IMHO, the Admins were quite right to delete the relevant posts and ask for political discussions to move to the Holy Ground.

[Aaron]

People in block 7 waving Palestine flags and scarves are relevant to the thread's title. I fail to understand how my posts were political. The point in my posts were about copying Celtic's Green Brigade, which has nothing to do with politics.

And 'The Holy Ground' forum is marked as 'Private' so people can't freely talk about it there. :bitchy:

HNA11 did apologise for anyone that did get caught up in the crossfire in post 1222. If you're point isn't political feel free to make it again.

Anybody who has paid to support the site can freely post their political views in the Holy Ground. We run a football forum here, not a political one so we ain't going to be giving up any more free time than is necessary to over see that.

[Since452]

If they turn the banner around and we get beat they can all GTF. We've been great since they turned it upside down.
