Block 7 (again)

[Hermit Crab]

At it once again tonight.

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.

They are a wee fannies, trying too hard to be like the Green Brigade. East will be a better place without them but can’t help but feel they will continue to be a **** stain on the club going forward…

Bring back Since 1875!

[Hibernian Verse]

It’s the hangers on…

[ionahibby]

Tell them (block7) they are banned. Easy. Otherwise we might end up not cutting allocation for other teams because we can’t behave.

[Hermit Crab]

It’s the hangers on…

Definitely not. One of them shouting up the RA lyrics had a block 7 t shirt and scarf on.

[H18 SFR]

I’m aware of someone writing to the club after Sunday with a child protection concern in relation to something with Block 7 and getting a reply simply saying sorry - no follow up discussion. Quite alarming as an offer was made to discuss the concern in greater detail with the club’s child protection officer in the original contact.

[AL-Qaholik]

Ban the lot of them.
They won’t be missed.

[sauzee1989]

They should all just go to parkhead. WASTE OF SPACE

I’ve been very disappointed in the clubs response in the past in regards to concerns too. It’s all snowballed over time.

He's joking mate....

[H18 SFR]

I think it’s a fair conclusion to state that Block 7 have free rein home and away. If child protection concerns are overlooked nothing is genuinely going to be looked at.

[Hermit Crab]

He's joking mate....

I know I was just saying. That excuse will not wash again. Clearly them being dicks.

[Centre Hawf]

Not saying it's acceptable at any time, but this week of all weeks is the highlight of stupidity. Hope the club punish them to the highest degree and tell Block 7 you're not operating with any cooperation from the club. Sick to death of these fannies over the last couple of seasons now.

Wasn't there but if that's what they were singing they need to be sent down the M6 to where they belong. B-list Celtic wannabes.
After Hibs try this week to make a difference with the statement about fan behaviour they do this?

It makes a mockery of Hibs attempt to eradicate the bad behaviour of opposing fans. And to think that the club are spending good money creating a standing section for them and at the same time uprooting fans that have sat in that area for years . Full marks to them for travelling up to Dingwall but they are becoming an embarrassment and I can only see this proposed standing section making that even worse.

Seems to see themselves as the green brigade junior division.

[Hibs90]

Get them banned. The club know who they are.

“Enough is enough” Hibs

[Cardinal G]

1st half was a plastic pint glass and bottle then just before halftime a vape. Never hear singing Ra songs but did have Palenstime flags. They need to be reigned in as it reflects badly on us.

[Real Emerald]

Maybe get Monty to manage block 7, that would calm things doon.

[DinkyTwo]

If this is true then ban them. No point in starting the war of all wars on an issue that's plagued Scottish society for 100 years if we're just going to have these wee fuds undermine us.

They are a horrible group of coked up wee dafties. Ben won’t do a thing though which makes our statement earlier in the week look very silly.

[Hibby70]

They probably want banned so they can be even more like the Green Brigade.

Worst thing to happen to the game in the last 5 years and yet the club seems to treat them like some VIP section. Matter of time until there's some internal fighting at an away game.

[cabbageandribs1875]

club should backtrack on the singing section behind the goals, spend the money elsewhere, i've always defended the young guns but they're now out of order, it's a pi$$er for the decent ones but the club just simply cannot carry on with this "block 7" & "ultras" nonsense, ban them

[Northernhibee]

First half of last season there was posts on here about people being forced out of their seats and the like. Would have been far easier for the club to correct with decisive management back then and some at the club need a long hard look at themselves IMO.

[Chorley Hibee]

Get them to ******.

Entitled shower of ****bags that have been entertained by the club for far too long.

I've witnessed their antics with other Hibs fans, and they're a bunch of feral cowards that are long past due a slap.

As for the OAP that hangs around with them, ****ing weirdo.

[Hermit Crab]

Ibrox in 3 weeks is going to be very poisonous. Especially if they start that pish like tonight.

[Brooster]

Took them all of 5 minutes to throw a full pint of water on the pitch and as for the boy with the Palestinian flag and the boy with the Irish flag......have a word with yourselves. Both were wearing B7 gear. Embarrassment.

[lugz]

Maybe the site can write an email to the club with names of those who want B7 banned? We're quick enough to criticise other fan bases but ours are up there with the worst.

We are investing money in a standing section, so accomodating missile throwers, coked up numpties, well done Hibs, you better get some netting erected because we will now be under the magnifying glass for next season.

[Real Emerald]

We’re setting ourselves up for a media frenzy bowing to this lot. It’s a gift to the weegies. Embarrassing

[Ardenttwo]

Total embarrassment to our club. What has the Palestine flag got to do with Hibernian. And the head steward went over and shook the guys with the flag hand instead of telling the idiot to take the flag away

Wasn't at the game tonight and not defending any of the nonsense which was allegedly going on, but why is flying the Palestinian flag, or any other national flag for that matter, an embarrassment?

[CathroMustStay]

I wholeheartedly support anyone flying the Palestine flag.

Anything to demonstrate against genocide and 30,000 innocent civilians being murdered by an apartheid terror state.

I agree, we need to demonstrate that we are doing everything we can to get our own house in order before calling out other clubs' fans.

In principle, I'm not against the notion of accommodating a group of so called "ultras", but they need to be made to understand what is and is not acceptable behaviour. Ditch the sectarian nonsense and sing some Hibs songs, and absolutely stop throwing stuff onto the pitch.

They have the potential to be a force for good in terms of helping to generate a positive atmosphere if they can cut out all the nonsense, my worry is they aren't capable of doing so, in which case we should put the proposed standing section on hold until they demonstrate that they can behave properly.

At a Hibs game? It's not the place I'm afraid.

[RIP]

I was initially in favour of a singing section behind the goals. But club management have carried out no direct consultation with the 1000 fans who still stand in the East.

The sole reason why we started off in 2010 in the top 20 rows in Section 43 was that the acoustics are infinitely better under the roof than at the front of the stand.

When Sect43 moved down the front of the East a few years ago their singing was completely inaudible. Then fans started jumping over the walls and throwing stuff at the opposition players.

Club management reacted by moving them to the top corner of the FF as Since1875. That didn't work so they then tried the front of Section 45 in the East as Block Seven.

Since the new East was built, the only time we had loud singing at Easter Road was when all the singers occupying the top half of Sections 42 to 44.

Moving 150 Ultras to the front of the Famous Five will do nothing for singing volume in the stadium. It is literally the worst place for acoustics and invites easy access to the pitch and players.

Needs a rethink now, rather than at the end of the season.

[tonyrougier123]

The block 7 crew need to get their house in order before next season. Starting to get a bit nippy with the throwing ****! Also majority of the songs are horrendous.
Used to be a bit of individuality to hibs when it came to supporting the team vocally, it’s generic ultras pish nowadays.
We are better than all that nonsense. Get back to doing the hibees bounce and put away the daft drums man!
Rant over🤦*♂️

[Crab apple]

I'm not in any way condoning their actions as throwing missiles is well out of order but wtf were the Ross County players doing celebrating en masse right in front of our support for ages giving it large. This went on for over long I felt. They had three home sides of the ground they could of ran to.

Start a new trend by actually dressing and displaying the club colours. This generic stuff is the pishest thing I’ve ever seen by supporters in football as we have no visible identity. Worse thing is the club is spending a lot of money on these…..

Well maybe it’s more difficult to be identified if you are in a seat not designated for you, wearing a balaclava or other type of mask whilst throwing objects onto to pitch. The club are literally investing in this guff at the same time publicly berating visiting supporters. It beggars belief TBH

Yes the celebration was right in front us and the ref should have stopped it but the fact that the boy Dhanda was hit by a disposable vape is bang out of order. Thrown from B7's section. There can be no denying it this time, they are guilty as charged.

[ShinyFantastic]

It’s as if they literally go out of their way to exclude the wider support from singing with their horrendous songs and if anyone outwith them tries to start anything different they are almost in competition with them. Sad actually.

[Tambo]

Pathetic to hear this after a strong statement from the club about this kind of behaviour.

Not just Rangers, thousands of Celtic bigots too. We haven't got a leg to stand on if we let the crap be sung too.

Any atmosphere block 7 bring is outdone by crap from along the M8 and throwing things. Hibs need to be hard and get our house in order or the rest is just virtue signaling

You think they'd be doing it if Celtic hadn't already? 😂

Embarrassing bunch of wee tits that are constantly causing issues. Bin them.

[LewysGot2]

They're in it for their own needs and not the wider good of the support. Anyone drawn to the dressing in black, copy cattjng Ultras culture from Europe are showing us its nothing about our traditions and roots as a Scottish club. The link up with OM in France shows its about their own egos and nothing to do with the wider support. Absolutely not on that these new "amis" from La France got tickets for Tynecastle - the single moment we should all have cottoned on they don't care about the wider support. At least the original incarnations of the "singing section" got that.

They don't represent me or my mates. It's a joke they are being aided and abetted and emboldened by someone at the very top - we know who it is. Yet they are so stupid and selfish they are manna from heaven for the Glasgow media mafia who will batter us back and paint our support as somehow worse than the OF.

And they've put targets on all our backs at Ibrox in a fortnight after their stickering escapades last time. As if we needed that anyway.

[Albert Kidd 86’]

Block 7 hmmmm…

“ULTRAS” groups were never on my radar in any way until I witnessed that very strange collection of weirdos behind the goals at the home end of tynnie.

What a very strange thing to do, dress identically in black, waving your arms about in clearly choreographed movement, reminds me of other youth movements from the past…. , football is an inspirational sport not a robotic set up.

try to be individuals guys, conforming to group think can lead you into very dangerous waters, and make you ripe for certain types of outsiders to begin inserting their own particular ideas and ideologies that have nothing to do with football.

I am pretty sure this is what has happened at Ibrox and parkhead, these were, and are, fertile ground for trouble makers to stir up hatred and bigotry , (witness the SS flag flown at ibrox in October, and alleged sexual abuse in the away end at Dens during rangers visit),

Please do not let Hibs get pulled down that road. BE YOURSELVES , LESS BLOCK 7, AND MORE ONE LOVE.

[Pretty Boy]

If they were genuinely adding to the atmosphere then I would probably be willing to overlook a wee bit of daftness.

On Sunday I could barely hear them and I sit upstairs in the FF upper, the loudest singing came when the guys at the back of the East got a few of the old songs going. The rest of it is just some guy banging a drum and guys chanting stuff that about 50 other teams also do. Of course the old songs quickly died out because they got upset and started banging the drum extra hard to drown them out. There's probably a dose of irony that in a week when sectarianism is front and centre they remind me of an orange march when the inevitably fat and bald guy with the big drum just batters it mindlessly because they are outside a Chapel and a bunch of simpletons shout quite loudly on command.

I was young once and I hate doing the 'this never happened in my day' stuff but it's consistent with this lot and rather than own it there is a myriad of tired excuses trotted out. It's not even proper ultra culture, it's pretendy stuff copying what they have seen on social media whilst still trying to be best pals with the club, 90 minute ultras to coin a phrase. I actually feel a wee bit sorry for a fair few of them as on the occasions I have been near them it often seems like some of them are decent wee lads who are a bit scared of some of the group and are following orders.

[Salisbury Hibby]

I don't think Hibs have a choice in taking action against Block 7. They've been warned. Once by the "Enough is Enough" statement and again by the usual "Away Supporter Information" on the official website.

With the undoubted media/sfa scrutiny we are under, action has to be taken and SEEN to be taken.

[Frazerbob]

Get them tae ****. Especially the weirdo Fagin character (who shall not be named on dot net). Time for some self policing if the club won’t do anything. As for the wee boy with the Palestine flag, probably couldn’t show you where it is on the map.

[SHODAN]

They're actively undermining our statement. All the throwing stuff, all the sectarian chanting, all the ***** associated with our recent crowd troubles, it comes from them.

Tell them they had better ****ING STOP or they're ALL BANNED.

[Jones28]

Ban them. All of them.

They add nothing, they make away games unpleasant for other fans and this is the third game in row objects have been thrown at opposition players.

Add to that they are being housed in a new section of the stadium which is costing the club money.

[Tarrahib]

Great support for the team when they can sing songs like
Alll the way to Dingwall
And get F…all.
Im sure the team were delighted to be hearing these tunes at the start of the second half,just before the Vape hailstone shower started

[HIBS NUTS]

Third game in a row, stuff thrown, B7 tickets should be suspended for the rangers away game, the media would love some sectarian signing from this lot.
Grow up ya we bams.

Agree 100%. This is a football forum and now the support Palestine lot appear. Only other football supporters that display a Palestine flag are the Green Brigade so I assume the Block Seven are only copying them. We were right behind them and believe me some of the singing was pure filth apart from chucking object on to the park. At a time when we are calling out Sevco fans this is the last we need as the media will jump on this especially BBC

The Since 1875 group who actually wanted to work with the whole stadium to improve the atmosphere and make ER a difficult place for opposing teams.

Give me them and their TIFO's and the priceless Natural Order banner every day of the week over these twats.

[Green_one]

I was never certain about the standing section or the encouragement of groups in general.

They clearly want a section for themselves but the club should put down a clear marker that any repeat of stated behaviours will cause a review of both the standing section and their current position. In other words misbehave and yer teas oot

These daft wee laddies need a quick example of who is in charge. Plus the average fan needs reassured that loutish behaviour will not be tolerated by the club. Anything else and Hibs position on fan behaviour will be happily picked apart by the media and The Uglies.

I would start by denying some of them away tickets. Message given, probably not fully understood.

They will have grown our of it now I would imagine. For me these groups separate fans but I dare say since seated stadiums those that want to sing cannot congregate organically. Block 7 should not get dibs on the standing section and for me it is a total waste of money

That’s exactly what they are, everything they do is a rip off of the Green Brigade. Ben Kensell will turn a blind eye though, it’s painfully obvious what needs done but they won’t do it for some bizarre reason. It’s a small block of about 50-100? Not going to turn half the fanbase away if they get banned.

Forgot about that little ditty. They also sang the forever and ever song with the 'we'll never be mastered' lyrics included, and the Mercer song right before half time too. Whoevers the ringleader of the circus needs to sort it out sharpish.

[Brizo]

At it once again tonight.

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.

Incredibly stupid and dangerous behaviour that would be out of order at any time but this week has the double whammy of giving the OF and their media chums a list of "whataboutery" examples that they could and very possibly will highlight. While Hibs have to a degree mitigated that possibility by acknowledging some of our fans bad behaviour , B7s actions need to be addressed by the club if we want to have any moral high ground in the fight against sectarianism and other offensive behaviour.

[WeeRussell]

**** them.

I remember us remarking on hearts having a ‘mini-hun’ element creeping in to their support a few years ago, via a small number of dafties, with the majority of proper supporters not enjoying their presence. I was glad we didn’t have that issue.

Seems our version have already surpassed this and they need dealt with asap. We’ve been talking about ‘having a word’ or ‘reigning it in’ all season now. They think they’re invincible and will only be stopped through proper action from the club.

Hopefully it’s forthcoming given our strong and significant statement earlier this week.

This threads about their poor choice of song lyrics, missile throwing and loutish behaviour in general. If they want to display those flags then football is not the place. Away down to Downing st and fly the flags and protest there.

[Chorley Hibee]

Green Brigade wannabes. An absolute embarrassment and a shower of wee fannies, all that needs to be said really. They’ll be self policed out by the decent regulars sooner rather than later IMO

The club need to deal with it before fellow supporters starting dealing with it themselves.

Regular supporters shouldn't be left in this predicament though, and I've witnessed a few occasions this season where it's very nearly kicked off because of their behaviour.

****ing cringeworthy antics, dress and songs, and would run a ****ing mile if they ever actually encountered a true ultra faction.

[J-C]

There should be no political flags at any football ground, you want to protest fair enough but there are hundreds of rallies weekly doing just that.

Well why bring up the flags if it’s just about those things, which by the way I don’t agree with. Surely they should be free to display those flags in a public place such as the football. Politics is part of football and all aspects of life whether you like it or not

Perhaps, but Hibs themselves were flying Ukraine flags, and even had the women play a game in Yellow and Blue FFS.

A distinct lack of Palestine content from them though.

Shows that the club only want to attach themselves to certain agendas and not others.

I don't think politics and sport should mix, by all means protest but not at a football ground.

"Acceptability" comes down to personal political opinion.

Yes it does matter. They've got no idea what they're doing with it. They're copying Celtic fans (which is the second cringiest thing in the world next to their dress code).

They weren't running round with Ukranian flags a year or 2 ago.

I agree it's a big issue, but neds at football games "supporting" Palestine? Come off it.

Half the wee fuds probably have zero idea about the conflict and would toil to point out Gaza on a map they’re that braindeed.

As admirable as the Dnipro kids charity is, I'd hardly say it was a direct connection to a conflict between two countries at war, or one which should dictate that we take the side of one country over another.

If people want to say that the Israel/Palestine conflict is multifaceted, then the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is equally so.

What if it’s brought out in support of our ex Israeli goalkeeper Ofir Marciano? He’s got more to do with Hibs than Palestine.

(You may think this sounds ridiculous and indeed it does, but it’s as relative to Hibs as a Palestine flag in Dingwall)

[Bostonhibby]

Do you think they'd have Palestine flags if the green brigade didn't have them?Probably the wrong forum, but do they know where Palestine is, and the history of the conflict?

I have no difficulty sympathising with the plight of the residents of Gaza, all of them but I keep the thought in my head when I go to the football and wear my Hibs scarf.

The club are skating on thin ice with it's recent commendable statement, hopefully it translates to action but if we're on the moral high ground we really need to put our own house in order, especially at away games, where as others have said we do seem to put a big target on our own backs by not identifying and banning bellends who think it's okay to throw stuff on the pitch, damage property and set off smoke bombs.

In doing that, you are setting up a potential for yet more division among fans. There's enough of that already.

We either say "no flags at all" or have a free-for-all, with its possible consequences.

UEFA have chosen the former and, if we're going down the strict liability route, we'll probably have to follow their lead.

I'm all for political expression, and happy to see different factions organising themselves (and yes, in opposition to each other) outside the ground. But, inside it, nobody should feel vulnerable because of their political and social views. It's a fitba match.

What about rainbow flags? Are they not political? Or as someone else pointed out playing in Ukrainian colours. It seems many are simply not in favour of supporting Palestine.

I get the point about about not causing divisions but surely Palestinian flags are something most sane people would be supportive of or at least not so actively against.

Anyway I have my opinions as do you, so I’ll leave it there. UEFA have too much money to lose that’s their primary concern

One of the problems with Ultra groups is their MO is to not do what they are told, they do what they want. This is why you see pretty much nothing but selfish behaviour from them. They really started making me want to stop going to away games this season but then Hibs started announcing where they'd be sitting and I started buying tickets well away from them. The behaviour last night was directly linked to Hibs statement, the IRA songs were more prevalent, throwing items at opposition players the mini pitch invasion when we scored. All things we expect other teams supporters to stop when they are in Easter Road emanated from Block7 last night. They see themselves are rebels, wearing their own colours, singing their own songs and disrupting things for fellow fans around them, they are not Hibs supporters they support their own group. I am dreading the game at Ibrox at the end of the month because you just know their behaviour there will be way out of control, they will give the huns and the media a huge stick to beat Hibs and the Hibs support with and believe me, they will use it with glee.

Do they bring the flags to games or are they stored in the ground?

If the former, then a simple rule that flags can't be on sticks longer than a metre should stop them blocking the view. If the latter then it's up to Hibs to stop them being waved around during a match.

On Saturday v Livingston I expect similar behaviour to previous weeks because they cannot help themselves. They think they are untouchable. Stand and monitor them using handheld cameras, CCTV and whatever means necessary until they get the message.

I feel really disappointed that our fan base has turned from something absolutly positive to the utter carnage it has been allowed to become. My worst experience was at Motherwell earlier in the season, I emailed the club and received an utterly pathetic reply, I've not been to an away game since, I did try for Derby tickets with no joy, yet see a huge load of Frenchies in there and all the bams.

The clubs stance on this is nothing short of shambolic.

[Northernhibee]

If other fans have also paid to watch a game of football then it’s utterly selfish to wave a big flag about, irrelevant of the cause.

If you feel strongly then do something positive such as have a collection outside to go to charities who work in Gaza.

You should have went to those 1860 games all those years back rather than sitting in watching Hibs TV and you could speak knowledgeably about the German scene and the powerful and respected ultra groups over there. These groups running for 20-30 years are nothing like the UK wannabes.

I don’t blame the young team born from the 90s onwards as they’ve Fk all scene of their own and are just a generation way too easily influenced by what they see on social media. Zero originality. Those Green brigade fannies seem to have been the benchmark for various groups for some time.

This latest lot we have, have continued the theme of taking on songs they’ve heard from Parkhead and duly stuck a Palestine flag on top.

FYI, I've attended loads of games in dozens of stadiums in Germany over the years. I'm well aware of what European 'Ultras' are like.

While a lot of them create a fantastic atmosphere at games, there's a significantly large number that behave exactly like the Green Brigade and their Rangers counterparts.

Ultras groups in other European countries, like Italy, Greece or France, are even worse and have lead to bans on home and away fans with their vile behaviour.

Yep, just ask the Brighton fan stabbed the other night in Rome.

[Hermit Crab]

When it comes to rangers away the club know where they are going to located in the stadium. GW2 rows A-D I think. Have a camera trained on them and any nonsense will be caught on film so they can ban the whole lot of them immediately after the game.

Doesn’t matter how far you travel, if you embarrass the club and soil the Hibernian name by breaking seats, singing pro IRA songs and throwing objects on the pitch then I wouldn’t class them as “fans”

We can't moan at Rangers and Celtic for their fans actions and then sweep our fans' actions under the rug with "their not real hibs fans". Otherwise nothing will ever get fixed.

There's realistically 3 options:

1) They self police and cut it out (seems unlikely)
2) The club get a grip of them and tell them to cut it out (seems possible, but not any time soon)
3) They upset the wrong person in the away end and learn the hard way.

I don’t think either of your quoted posters intended to sweep anything under the carpet with their posts. More questioning their motivations and whether the success of the team is actually their priority when attending.

Nobody is suggesting it’s not our problem to deal with.

[KWJ]

Again, can we leave the stuff that's subjective away from this thread when B7 provide a far more obvious issue in embarrassing the club by showering objects at players.

I could be wrong but I don't think even The Green Brigade have been accused of doing this or causing issues on the pitch.



One of the problems with Ultra groups is their MO is to not do what they are told, they do what they want. This is why you see pretty much nothing but selfish behaviour from them. They really started making me want to stop going to away games this season but then Hibs started announcing where they'd be sitting and I started buying tickets well away from them. The behaviour last night was directly linked to Hibs statement, the IRA songs were more prevalent, throwing items at opposition players the mini pitch invasion when we scored. All things we expect other teams supporters to stop when they are in Easter Road emanated from Block7 last night. They see themselves are rebels, wearing their own colours, singing their own songs and disrupting things for fellow fans around them, they are not Hibs supporters they support their own group. I am dreading the game at Ibrox at the end of the month because you just know their behaviour there will be way out of control, they will give the huns and the media a huge stick to beat Hibs and the Hibs support with and believe me, they will use it with glee.

Good post, I agree with all of this although I do think there's a place in the game for Ultra's/Singing Sections/Young folk looking to do something different but B7 is not the way and the club's let it get out of hand to the detriment of other fans.

If someone's concerns about a child are that serious and the club do nothing then surely the next port of call would be the police?

[Carheenlea]

Given the small size of the group you wouldn’t expect it to be difficult to properly monitor. Given the quite close relationship they have with the club surely you call in say the old guy that hangs with them and relay to him as a senior figure how important it’s going to be now to avoid any further discretions given the public statement Hibs have put out with regards to fan behaviour.

No more “hangers on” chat - just start taking responsibility for the group or it’ll have to go.

[H18 SFR]

Perhaps, but Hibs themselves were flying Ukraine flags, and even had the women play a game in Yellow and Blue FFS.

A distinct lack of Palestine content from them though.

Shows that the club only want to attach themselves to certain agendas and not others.

Hibs have an attachment with Ukraine. I can't remember them having one with Palestine.

Weirdly, I went up ER via Bothwell Street for a change today. The Livi contingent- aged probably between 13 and 15 year old - were gathered at the end of the street being advised by a man in his late 30s or early 40s also dressed like them. Completely uncomfortable stuff…maybe all these ultras have midlife crises at the heart of them :confused::rolleyes:

[Pretty Boy]

I know it's not really funny when you get stuck next to them at a game or when they do daft things that cause the club bother. But really it is so daft that it is just laughable.

I got the bus to the game today and a group of lads I'd guess were about 12-14 got on and sat behind me. They proceeded to start chatting about their 'ultras' group chat and how they were going to 'smash' the 'Livi youth'. A really nasty message must have been sent because one guy said 'threaten him and tell him we'll stab his mum' whilst another conveniently realised he had 'forgot his ST' when it was revealed a fight had already happened at McDonalds and he quickly got off the bus to go home and get it.

It was all very amusing listening to these fairly well spoken boys swearing for show and pretending they were involved in some guerilla warfare. I suppose the worry is that when you play at these kind of things someone can still end up getting hurt or into serious bother.

The guy hinging with B7 is way older than that. At least in his 50s. B7 have kids of all ages but probably late teens more prevalent. The 30/40 year old i mentioned was with the Livi all blacks, who were very young.

The Mick chap who created the fabulous Sunshine display at Hampden with Sect43 a couple of years before was also no spring chicken.

[Malonga's Cat]

The idea of block 7 is great. The reality is a group causing unnecessary bother while striving for relevancy. We all want more singing (like actual Hibs songs) and atmosphere but their behaviour at away games isn't really worth it. Really hoping that the standing section works out separate from block 7 or it's going to look even more sparse than it does now. Their numbers in the East don't seem to be growing.

Maybe Hibs could be pragmatic on this issue and use the system they already use use to protect their young players to vet these ‘leaders’. I’m sure there wouldn’t be many background reports to do.

You want Hibs to start vetting certain fans?? Who decides which fans need vetted?

Just no.

It's bad enough the club wanting to search my bag on the way into the ground. I'm not about to go through an interview or give them any more information to decide whether or not I'm allowed to come to the football.

If my 14 year old was hanging about with 40 year old I'd be having words with my 14 year old to be honest. Back in the day if my 14 year old wanted to join the CCS I'd have told him no chance of it happening. I wouldn't allow it never mind the CCS who to be fare wouldn't allow it either unless he maybe joined the baby crew but even then it would have been nope, no chance.
Sometimes the parents have to take responsibility.

[RIP]

Were the guys you mention hanging around with and acting as leaders to a bunch of kids?

The activities were solely relating to improving the matchday atmosphere such as organising Tifos, securing flag cabinets etc. IIRC the youngest lads were late teens / early twenties.

Although my response to Chris was slightly tongue in cheek, I'm wondering if people are suggesting there should be an upper age limit of these Ultras groups. Or a lower age limit?

BTW I'm well educated on Safeguarding and PVG certification. But that relates to unsupervised access to children rather than a bunch of matchday football Ultras, doesn't it?

As a parent of two lads I would want to know what they were doing on a Saturday. I travelled to away games aged 13/14 on supporters buses run by older guys. I felt safe and so did my folks in letting me do so.

Same with Block 7, lots of drum banging and singing something nobody can hear through the echo of the drum.

[Cabbage-Patch]

The idea behind block 7 is fine by me in that they are trying to create a bit of atmosphere at the games and get young folk involved. Sad reality is there's more than a few fannies in the group (who are older btw) whose only interest is antagonising rival supporters and trying too hard to shock and essentially be the mini green brigade. Whilst Hibs take a stand against fan behaviour and rightly so some in this group bring the club into disrepute.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Block 7 lot need binned awful songs and are pretty much a mini Celtic crew.

Not sure if it was linked to them but there was a picture of someone holding up an Irish tricolour with the Pope on the front. I can’t recall ever seeing such a sight in a Hibs end in all the years ive been going to the games (Miller era from 87-88).

[joebakerforever]

Listening to comments on the radio, there appears to be a view that non stop drum beats, megaphone blasts, and continuous chants from the Ultras are killing off the spontaneous crowd roars when something exciting actually happens on the pitch!

Personally I reckon the Ultras have ruined the atmosphere at Easter Road, and their emphasis on religous & political aspects is not what I look forward to when I attend - it's the football on the pitch!

Kensell seems to be prioritising the welfare of the Ultras & their trouble-making hangers-on, over the core support. If their activities continue unchecked, don't be surprised Ben if the attendances are adversely affected by your kowtowing to the anti-social sector of so-called Hibs supporters.

We must give them some leeway. They are youngsters and will make mistakes in the way young guys in groups usually do. I think it’s good they are making an effort to improve the atmosphere and encourage the team. That doesn’t mean anything goes; there’s a right way and a wrong way to demonstrate that support. Anything that flirts with sectarianism, for example, is an unequivocal no. Colour and noise is great; anti-social behaviour only reflects badly on all of us. Let them enjoy themselves and create a better atmosphere, but repeated bad behaviour will just get them shut down. It’s in their own best interests to do their thing well.

They've had their chance. They've done nothing for atmosphere, even going so far as to try to drown out other parts of the support singing (at Livi last season, Villa at ER and Forfar, in my experience). They've been alienating folk in their own support by bumping them out their seats (Ross County last season for me). They are no more "Hibs" than fly in the air, kitted in black and burbling away to tunes you can hear at Bonnyrigg Rose.

There's probably a much bigger problem which is that young folk nowadays are owned by brands and media platforms, and that is completely older generations' fault. But it's having a detrimental effect on going to games, and it's really, really tedious.

We must give them some leeway. They are youngsters and will make mistakes in the way young guys in groups usually do. I think it’s good they are making an effort to improve the atmosphere and encourage the team. That doesn’t mean anything goes; there’s a right way and a wrong way to demonstrate that support. Anything that flirts with sectarianism, for example, is an unequivocal no. Colour and noise is great; anti-social behaviour only reflects badly on all of us. Let them enjoy themselves and create a better atmosphere, but repeated bad behaviour will just get them shut down. It’s in their own best interests to do their thing well.

“Flirts”, come on. The “Erin go Bragh” song is now permanently accompanied with rounds of **** the ******* queen and up the ******* ra. I think we are way past the stage of letting them “flirt” with sectarianism.

As an ancient goth I agree, goths =good, b7=minnions
