Block Seven

[Thatdayinmay16]

If there keen on using graffiti etc, can we not help them create murals around ER? Similar to what we see with Rashford in Manchester or Trent in Liverpool, Maradona in Naples etc?

Would be a better use of their time and would make the areas around Easter Road look fantastic, plus it could open up job opportunity's for some of the young lads.

[silverhibee]

Or youngsters could just be taught at a young age to behave properly and then they won't have to deal with the police.

If only it was that easy.

Bus stop on Whitehouse Road covered in Block 7 *****. Love what's happening behind the goals, but if the cost is *****y wee neds thinking they can cover the place in crap, petty graffiti, then Block 7 can get tae ****. Where's the pride in being part of something potentially great while carrying on like an ASBO ****?

Whitehouse Road in Cramond? You sure they're not just noising up JKR? :greengrin

Or Whitehouse Loan?

Clearly never worked, lived or even appreciated what goes on in that environment.

Does she still have that house, thought she had it up for sale a while back.

Pretty sure she's still there.

Those round about it are fed up of her bloody trees :greengrin

I am no fan of them but just because you don’t agree with that “nonsense” doesn’t mean it’s not correct.

The police don’t exactly help or engage youngsters (not just that demographic either) they are more interested in criminalising them and putting them at a disadvantage.

There’s plenty issues but this certainly isn’t one.

In fact it’s something the police thrive on and in many instances live up to it. A wee bit of authority goes to a lot of their heads.

Reality isn't really something that can be disagreed with. Anyone who knows what it stands for knows that it's nonsense. Of course it's not correct.

Life sure is tough on the mean streets of Cramond.I heard the residents are petitioning parliament because PUBLIC transport runs near the area, there's squirrels, and a bird crapped on a car once. Something needs to be done to end these unsightly horrors.

Been sang since I started going late 90s. Anything to try to jump on a bandwagon ripping them like.

Perhaps it would have been frowned upon more in the past if everything was put on social media but it seems some think it’s worse than the generations before when in fact it’s a lot more mild in reality. These guys have nowt even in comparison to the baby crew who went home and away in a large group 10-15 years back.

Should the lyrics not be updated to reflect the king's accession to the throne?

That gable end next to the FF is absolutely crying out for a mural ....... not a Block 7 one, but something dedicated to Hibs. I could be wrong, but I'm sure there's a Hearts themed gable end mural outside of Tynecastle .... they were certainly talking about one when the new stand was built, whether it ever happened I'm not sure.

They just decided to build some stairs that ran into the wall instead.

Ok thanks for correcting me, for all my years of following Hibs and attending games this is one i can honestly say I've not heard it or even remember it.

the Tim Malloys took their name from a prominent Tyrone farmer who organised resistance to evictions

That's the first time I've ever seen that theory, but I'd have thought that there would be some recorded history of such a resistance.

I've always thought it was just a general alias the Glasgow gang gave themselves, a name they would all use if ever apprehended etc, but it would make sense if there was a person behind its origin.

Aye, like I've said i really don't remember it being sung much in my lifetime.

I was listening to some player fan chants yesterday and had a thought on who was the first player to get a chant that people can remember? O'Rourke?

Exactly as the song went IIRC. You ain't seen nothin' like the Mighty (or Paddy?) Quinn.

Manfred Mann hit, Dylan song.

Think that pre-dated the O'Rourke song.

My user name is from a song for Allan McGraw from the late 60`s - Feed McGraw, McGraw, he`s ayeways on the baw, Feed McGraw, Feed McGraw. Same tune as the Mickey Weir song, think the original actual song was " The quartermasters store " or something like that.

Aye,saw Clerrie an Queensferry Rd covered in B7 graffiti..

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Supposedly the spike in graffiti is due to a subsection of B7 called the “Vandals”. I wonder how long it took them to come up with that moniker.

It’s not even good graffiti, would be okay if it brightened some places up buts it’s just B7 sprayed everywhere.

Should have drawn a Cardigan and Rover Car, only Hibs fans passing would get it.

Graffiti is just vandalism.

They make a big thing about helping out at ER to tidy the place up yet these welts are going about destroying everyone else’s front doors with this graffiti.

Go off subject for a moment. Where does the innocent railway tunnel end towards the St Leonards side? I've past the other end plenty times, never wandered through

And, I was down at Seafield Crematorium this afternoon, I noticed a walkway directly above the entrance to the grounds, where does this start and finish

And, I was down at Seafield Crematorium this afternoon, I noticed a walkway directly above the entrance to the grounds, where does this start and fini**** ends at a small cul de sac of private housing blocks, if you turn right after exiting the park towards the Commie pool you take first right and then first right again and that takes you onto the Innocent.

There's a wee foot path near the bottom of Easter Rd, starts there passes Leith Academy, it uses the old tain line, skirts the bottom of the stadium at Hawkehill. Cuts through Lochend, Restlalrig, Pirnifeild, round Seafield cemetery, crosses over the bridge you are talking about and finishes at the seafeild end of the Link. A nice wee walk.

There step count must be pretty high as the B7 is everywhere, from D’mains all along Queensferry Road and all up through Corstorphine, “we are B7” on the signs for reducing speed from 30-40.

On more than 1 occasion the young 30 year old that "doesn't like watching the game "
Has moved on steaming c.nts trying to tag onto B7 stating that there are young kids nearby
