    Hearts singing section.

    Looks like Hearts have a new singing section complete with drummer. They are called the "Gorgie boys" and have a Facebook page of the same name.

    I thought "hats off to them for at least trying to add to a Scottish football atmosphere"...until you delve a bit deeper.

    Union flags with red hands of Ulster, songs at the game include Rule Brittania and one about a flute, fighting with fellow Hearts fans in the ground and trying to fight with Dunfermline fans afterwards.

    Looks like more unoriginal, mini-Hun stuff to me.

    I thought I heard them singing one of those Russian funeral march tunes yesterday. You know the sort, low level drone that lasts for hours.

    Might be mistaken though as it was hard to hear them above the noise all the dunfermline fans were making

    To be fair, they do say that all races are welcome.

    I'm assuming Catholics will be welcomed with open arms too.

    To be fair to Hearts, they've successfully transformed their entire (uncompleted) stadium into one big singing/chanting section.

    Only problem is that they only appear to know a single chant and it's not really lifting the players or the manager.

    I'd be a bit wary of searching Google for "Gorgie boys". ;-)

    I've not delved into it but on the face of it they said sectarian songs were not welcome on the original post I saw.

    I thought it was the pars fans who had the drum. Hard to tell on tv though.

    Apart from their official song, HHGH,which usually peters out during the second verse,Hertz don't have a song book anymore .
    Most of what they ever sang in recent years, was made redundant after a certain day in May 2016.

    As for booooooing !!

    I suppose that could be described as a tribal chant ,rather than a song.
    It has been popular there for quite some time now.
    They have really mastered it.
    So fair play to their bass section on that.

    I tend to find amongst many Merricks there's a bigotry not far below the surface. Odd people.

    Using the Warburton song for Lafferty and The Efe song for Heart of Midlothian..

    Yes I know a few good ones but they still buy into crap when pished or pushed. Fenian is a word close to lips at all times.

    In Trainspotting 2 fashion, I can see them adapting the now famous song at the Lodge and giving us a rendition of

    "No more Cathros"

    Why would the stadium with allegedly the best atmosphere in the World need a signing section to improve the atmosphere?

    Edinburgh establishment refined bigotry. Rather than in your face wedgie stuff.

    Their new singing section, complete with out-of-tune drummer had, wait for it, about 15 ! After the game tried to start a fight with Dunfermline fans at Haymarket, who just laughed at them.

    I would say fair play to them for trying to generate an atmosphere as the other dinosaurs' in the crowd song book was wiped after we won the Scottish, but that is just too tragic.

    Hearts away will be some laugh if this lot are still going.
