    Minutes Silence Tomorrow Night

    Taken from Hibs Website

    "Our thoughts are with those who have suffered loss in the Greek wildfires. A minute's silence will be held ahead of kick-off tomorrow night, and black armbands will be worn."

    Really glad to hear this, would feel wrong if we didn't pay our respects in some sort of way. Definitely Hibs Class once again.

    Definitely the right decision, a minute’s applause just wouldn’t have felt right.

    It never does for me regardless of who we are remembering.
    Silence is the ultimate show of respect in my opinion, pleased Hibs have come good on this.

    Wholly appropriate to pay our respects in this manner prior to playing Greek opposition.

    Last time we played a Greek side they booed and sung through the minutes silence after 9/11. Wonder if any travelling fans will be more respectful this time as it’s there own countrymen ?

    Not sure what point your trying to make?

    Bit of a crass post IMO

    I remember that actually. A few of them were doing Lenny-like airplane impressions during the minutes silence. I'm sure our fans will show respect though.

    If anyone doesn't want to engage in the minute's silence then I would suggest staying outside of the ground until it is finished.

    Really? As in AEK fans? I'd hope it was a very small minority of idiots.

    Regardless, this is different opposition 17 years later. I'd hate to think that teams from abroad were weary of our fans because they once saw how the huns behave.

    I actually don’t. Greek football fans are very volatile and not sure how they’ll react to the dreadful fire in Athens

    Certainly hope so, but there is always one arse that will happily talk away during it.

    Didnt look like a minority. They were noisily celebrating the American deaths. They were also burning American flags in Athens.

    It’s about us showing some respect and class.

    What the AEK fans did or didnt do is irrelevant IMO.

    I was in Athens in the nineties during a visit by George Bush snr as US President. There were significant riots on the streets, and feedback from the locals suggested the US and NATO support of Turkey was behind the animosity. Could be wrong though.

    Appropriate touch by Hibs for the minute’s silence for the fire victims.

    Oh I totally agree, a minute silence is definitely the right thing to do. Just remember being shocked at the Greeks behavior are Eater Road that day.

    Pretty sure I recall AEK historic roots are Turkish and yes American flags were burned in their stadium in joyous response to the 9/11 attacks just days earlier. The minutes silence at ER was disrupted by their fans (a bit like asking all Celtic fans to respect a minutes silence after an IRA bombing on British mainland) and this set an incredible intense atmosphere for the rest of the game of which I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed. The chanting of “USA, USA” from our East Terracing summed up the bizarre tone of the night.

    My Italian friend who is a Juventus fan (and Hibby) said he’d never experienced anything like that night at any football game.

    Apart from the 2 goals, my memories are of SOL becoming embedded in our folklore at the amazing half time sing along, and the Hibby who ran from the Lower West and dived along the turf right in front of the AEK fans. If they’d had guns they would have definitely shot him multiple times. No joke, they went mental.

    Doubt tomorrow will even slightly resemble that night.

    The Greek protest was at the Athens leg.

    Now my memory may be hazy as it was a while ago but I was sure they were whistling etc during a minutes silence at Easter Road. Its also mentioned here: http://www.hibs.net/archive/index.php/t-160750.html

    Are you saying the Greeks observed the minute silence at Easter Road?

    At the away game they were burning American flags and singing all through the minutes silence.

    AEK fans were tossers, i suspect all fans at ER would agree with that on Thursday. Both sets of fans will show exemplary behaviour as befits the occasion.

    This time?

    We have never played this team before. The fans who come tomorrow were most probably not at the AEK game for the simple reason it wasn't their team.


    Like people from Manchester thinking we would misbehave there after what The Rangers fans did there...
