Singing 'we are the people' at Ibrox when winning is funny because it turns their own superiority complex and triumphalism back at them. Singing it at Celtic Park just doesn't work because it's Hibs fans singing a Rangers song to Celtic fans. The joke is lost.
Singing about Wallace Mercer being dead isn't without it's controversy but there is a relevance to Hibs, the irony that we outlived the man who wanted to kill us off. Singing about Billy McNeill, Bertie Auld, Ronnie Simpson etc having died is just a cringe. It's tasteless and belongs among the worst of the Rangers support, we are talking about bona fide Scottish football legends here. Same goes for the minority who sang about 'mind the stairs' at Ibrox when we got pumped 6-1 a few seasons back.
I remember a game at St Mirren a while back, sure we won 4-1. Jamie Langfield was getting a bit of banter from the Hibs fans and was giving a bit back, it was all relatively good natured. Then a small group started shouting 'paedo' every time Langfield was going to take goal kicks or collecting the ball from behind the goals. It was just witless pish and he looked totally bemused by it. Giving Langfields history of comedic errors surely someone could come up with something a bit better than 'paedo'.
As I said previously I don't mind a bit edgy humour but humour is the key word there. Is singing about old men dying funny? Is singing about a disaster that killed 60+ people funny? Is calling random people paedos funny? It's like the football equivalent of being a shock jock, say something so ridiculous with the only intention being to provoke a reaction then brand anyone who reacts a 'snowflake' or 'woke'.

Sounds like the behaviour of total morons. We are not exempt from having our fair share and while youth shouldn't be an excuse for moronic behaviour, doubly disappointing to hear that grown men were singing this p'sh

Absolute shower of ******s
Embarrassing stuff
The club should be getting in touch with away support and telling them it’s unacceptable.

It's like a competition of who can sing the most rank song at times, heard songs that are unacceptable many times in pubs and a few times in grounds, can people not think without being morons.

We’ve often had quite fun and cool little young team singing groups. Since 1875 we’re quality at times, and even going back to the Hibs Casuals , their terracing banter and chants I often found decent quality.
I also noticed at away games this season that there seems to be a divide between some who were previously 1875 and this new merging crew. Shame as together they would be stronger..
In recent times, there’s being much poorer quality terrace chants. But I guess it’s up to other fans to fill that gap. We can’t expect those involved to suddenly change their ways.
Bring on the new young team

Home fans singing about Bobby Sands and the IRA, then getting outraged at chants from the away support is quite some irony
I think the era of 'ultras' is largely about outdoing the opposition fans with the singing/flag-waving/fireworks... so they can rabbit on about it on social media... and has very little to do with actually supporting the team.
The same people were singing songs about dead Rangers players and the Ibrox disaster the last time I was at Ibrox.

Would be handy if Scottish football fans could take responsibility for their supporters actions rather than the classic whataboutery and pointing the finger at other fans.
If Hibs fans are acting like bellends, it doesn't really matter what other fans are singing. And when singing about the Lisbon Lions, or Ricksen, or Ibrox Stairways then its a Hibs problem and nothing to do with any other fans and what they've sung in the past.
Anyhoo, i'm sure they'll grow out of it...

They’re aiming to be distasteful, horrible, offensive, insulting etc.

Personally think there will be an element of both but there are definitely some that think it's funny to sing songs we'd prefer not to hear.

Rangers did anything about it was when UEFA started taking an interest.

Any proper scheme to address the Ugly Sisters has to include closing sections of a ground, points deductions and even bans from European competitions if their fans persist.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I've no doubt shouted plenty daft things over the years, but the obsession with paedophiles in Scottish football must be unique, or do football fans around the world all carry on like this? Even the ladies Derby at Tynecastle recently - there was a small group of cretins who thought it hilarious to shout PAEDO every time Rachel Boyle touched the ball or came close to the touchline, the mind boggles at the witless morons amongst us.

I’ve never heard anyone say they weren’t going ER because of songs being sung!

A couple of chants from the Aberdeen fans when playing against rangers
“Walters in a box, in a box, walters in a box”
“Somebody call 911, Ricksen’s doing wheelies in the dance floor” https://youtu.be/YkyhvCdJ_vM exactly 1 minute in
