Well said Paisley Hibby. These songs about Mercer & his widow are shameful. I’d like to think you’re right in saying most Hibs fans are embarrassed by them but it doesn’t look that way when playing them at Tiny... and it’s not just the young team either belting out this piish.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Songs about the UDA are also lame. No idea why they’ve been resurrected now. Maybe it makes the singers feel hard and a bit rebellious but I’m sure there’s better ways of strutting their stuff to pretend they’re really tough guys?

The old I.E.C Hibs bus only played Republican songs on its travels,anyone getting on were made well aware of this,however this did not deter folk, and to my best recollection no one ever refused to get on it,however this was back in the late 80,s early 90,s and I would imagine most of them like myself have grown out of it or know it,s wrong thing to be doing these days.Hopefullu the folk doing it now will see the error of their ways and realise if your sympathys lie this way then best to keep it private and well away from the fitba. As for the Mercer song/s they are cringeworthy, guy was a prick but why should his family be derided?

The point, I feel, that you're missing is that it's no longer then 70's, as much as we'd all love a return to power cuts and the 3 day working week, and most probably some of these newly christened sanctimonious *******s WERE in the stands with you in the 70's and I daresay sung some rather non PC tunes but have, unlike you it would seem, grown up and moved with the times.
The Mercer song at Tynecastle is dull and tiresome, rather like the Yams themselves oddly, but will always be sung I suspect as hatred will always be higher in the agenda of some fans than supporting the team on the pitch.
But songs about his wife and now the UDA ( ) can get right to ****.

Jesus, hope no-one from the SFA looks in on message boards or they'll be ready to haul a couple of singers out the crowd at our next game and before you know it Hibs will be made an example of for sectarian singing.
30,000 do it every week in Glasgow, nothing done, 500 do it in the Hibs end...we'd get slaughtered.
We really need to leave these songs back in the 70's......as others have said, the Hibs songbook is broad enough to avoid us regurgitating that nonsense about mercers wife and the like.

I guess one way to combat this would be people filming the ones singing these utterly detestable songs and posting it on here. Then name and shame them and shop them to the police. After a few weeks and a few banning orders we will go back to being a support that we can be proud of.

For about 90% of our fanbase, (vocally) supporting the team on the pitch is not on their agenda whatsoever.
This shouldn't give the young team carte blanche to sing and act however they like, but to pretend it's a case of a few bad apples singing the naughty songs while the rest of us sing the real songs is completely inaccurate.
They sing the good ones, they sing the bad ones too. Nobody else joins in either way. We need to fix that ASAP, because our support is fast going the way of Aberdeen and Hearts otherwise.

Mercer song or anything to do with the **** (hope that’s okay to call the guy) should have been banished when we won the cup and went completely full circle. Singing about a prick who’s dead and then making songs about a wifie just makes us look classless. Sir Toms sold up having saved us, does anyone deeply really care about mercer 30 years ago? Boy failed we won, leave it be.

Come on guys you’ve got some terrific songs that get behind the team and lift the support. There seems to be genuine movement across the whole country in trying to rid itself of sectarianism. Let’s just join in and drop the bile and hate. Leave that to the dinosaurs at other clubs.

He likes the 70s better than us. We're offended and hurt and can't handle him talking about how much he likes the 70s.
Yours,
Mr excitement.
P.S. For what it's worth, I agree with Scouse. I generally find MajorHibs posts fairly amusing. He has never, ever offended (only completely baffled) me.

Playing devils advocate, would singing about Ricksen’s wife be acceptable to those who sing about Mercer’s wife, given he was a horrible git on the park when he played for Rangers?
