Load of nonsense about Ricksen as well. Wish you could inform the parents of these silly wee boys that their kids are mocking someone suffering from motor neuron disease

Have to agree with that, and it applies to both sets of supports.
I actually have a feeling that the idiots in the Hibs support are part of some organised group. There's a large group of younger pretendy casuals, and a small group of older guys that join in with them. They sing songs about the Ibrox disaster, the queen, the 'Ra' and whatever else they think can possibly offend, cross themselves and wave tricolours in the direction of the home fans.
There was also some much older (maybe about 60 y/o), fat, gray-haired fan-dan in Row M wearing an Irish Rebel scarf and constantly shouting something like 'Go home British *********s'
And then get massively offended when obviously The Rangers fans start singing Rule Britannia and such nonsense back at them. Do think we have a growing minority of idiots that want to join in with all the bigoted nonsense. Also seems to be on the rise with Hearts. Never known it before in all my time supporting Hibs but hopefully its stops
I'm not sure what words were being sung but I also heard a few of our fans singing something to the same tune as the song that was sung by some Celtic fans a few years ago about Lee Rigby, when the huns unfurled their flag about him before the game.
Hopefully it wasn't the same words.
[QUOTE=Sir David Gray;5882588]:confused: Get it up who exactly?
Surely you don't support the singing of a song that mocks the death of a British soldier in a terrorist attack on the
The flag is just contrived nonsense, as is the rest of their faux allegiance to Queen and country that they all try to get behind but regardless of the merits of the flag, it's more the reaction of some Hibs fans that I am getting at.
If they were singing the song that I think they were (and someone on here has already apparently confirmed that they were) then it's an utter disgrace.
And here it goes. We enter a debate amongst us about a terrorist murder several hundred miles south of Glasgow and one that that had nothing to do with football, peculiarly in common with so many acts of terrorism. I’m betting Lee Rigby had never heard of the ICF or Walter Smith. It’s another bout of point scoring that ends pointless anyway.
The Rangers fans were chanting Hibees and Jet Skis don't go as well.
It’s a predictably childish response to a childish (and meritless by the way) act of provocation. Nothing else. None of them are children though, at least not outside the brain area.
By the way, when one of the flags was unfurled above us back to front and upside down it was a genuinely humorous moment met with a much more human reaction. Laughter. More of that would be good.
I actually think the flag is really tasteless and I think the family of Lee Rigby would be quite annoyed that his name is being used in this way. However that's a problem for Rangers to address.
My concern is Hibs and the conduct of our supporters and I think the song is more sinister than simply just childish.
If this is the sort of nonsense we're going to be trotting out at these games then I'm out as I don't want associated with any of it.
The polis were fine today as far as I could see. I spoke to one of them and he was clearly exasperated. I’m no fan of them but Spider-Man couldn’t do much about the hysteria that goes on. Hard enough keeping an eye on thousands of nutters without policing the ****ing stewards as well!
Yep, I seen it also, was no more than 6 feet away from it. Went head to head with the young guy then clenched his fist and flinched it as if he was going to swing for him.
Was never going to hit him, purely done to wind up the boy. The young guy wasn’t even the one who he’d been having a bit of to and fro with, think it was the laddies dad who was in the row behind - who then went tonto after seeing the stewards actions towards his son.
Said steward - what we’re up against... Strong case for Hibs bringing our own stewards to supervise the away section at Ibrox, and to a lesser degree, Celtic Park.
