Block Seven

[Dashing Bob S]

I see they’ve released a police harassment statement.

[Bostonhibby]

Surely they're not going to start harassing the polis as well?, it's bad enough harassing Hibs fans who are just sitting in the area they've paid to sit in.

Got to keep up with their pals at the green brigade’s narrative.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

So the undoubted evolution of fan culture “should be applauded” by all?
surely they could go about things with a wee bit more humility?

[HFC93]

Someone needs to tell them that the Green Brigade won't **** them.

[LunasBoots]

All Ultra groups surely should know this has been coming? Probaly a better idea to just go to games in small groups if your part of this scene and dont get involved with all the side nonsense of being part of the group.

[InvertedFullBak]

They are bleating about them being arrested. I must’ve missed on video them kicking the crap out of some boy who was already knocked out cold.

They are a bunch of little rodents who claim to be persecuted yet behave like criminals.

You mean like hangers on, thought they had them already.

Maybe there'll be a statement from hangers on as well?

Can’t tell if this has been timed well by showing solidarity with those affected outside parkhead yesterday, or timed badly making them look a bit like arse sookers.

According to their statement the police actions are going to alienate supporters and kill the Scottish game.

I doubt that will happen as the majority of us don’t go to games in a big group with our faces covered so we will be ok. If they mean it will alienate the ‘ultras’ and make them stay away then I’d see that as a bonus.

Why does a group that makes up a tiny percentage of our support need to issue statements as if they are speaking for all of us?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

I think Block Seven blatant opposition to the “Get yourself seen” road safety campaign deserves a stern seeing to by the Polis. Could also have them up for a Darwin Award if they play their cards right throw in a few mishandled pyros who knows …

Only saw one with his face covered at Celtic Park. Police are employing the same tactics that are used abroad to control the ultras. The police are no doubt trying to stop pyros getting into grounds There are small clubs even in the lower leagues that wee kids are forming ultra groups.The police will know who are the leaders of the groups in the big clubs so a bit of dialogue between police and the ultras might stop issues arising.i think the ultras will be with us for a few years yet.

It’s not even just that. At Celtic park they tried to remove our own fans from an area for their own gain. No respect for anyone. I always used to think we were a club so all Hibs fans were good lads/lasses but Christ this ultras movement is causing problems.

We’ve got it all wrong in the UK. Myself and Spaceman (another poster on here) went to Werder v Hoffenheim and the “ultras” were respectful and the experience was 10x what we get with ours away.

Poorly written and posted some 40mins after the Green Brigade. Misjudged this one, trying to cosy up, be under no illusions that GB do not give a **** about B7 nor will have any sort of bond their, quite the opposite.

What’s the deal with them and the GB? Did B7 get their autographs after last Sunday?

Was very close to what happened at Celtic Park. The knew where they were meant to be up behind the pillar it was well publicised when the tickets were put on sale. They saw a row of seats which were left empty for safety reasons and thought it was fair game to move into those. I agree that they need to show other fans respect and they should not he trying to take over other fans seats. They get preferential treatment for tickets to away games if they don't behave this should he removed from them.

The young lad that lead them in (I say young maybe 30?) made a gesture to his followers to take the section and the wee guys that don’t know better tried their best.

What I don’t get is what Hibs don’t take them to task? Kensell is gone what are they afraid of?

Re the preferential treatment remember they are all Hibs First and managed to get in before it closed…the rest are “hangers on”

I don’t know what was more embarrassing at Celtic Park, B7 or Maeda trying to cause a rivalry

Our small group of laddies have obvious delusions of grandeur.
They number about 50 in total but according to their statement Police harrassment will alienate them and kill the Scottish game. Who knew?
Appear to have been asked to support their pals in the west with a statement.
Release more statements than Sevco.

Just read the Green Brigade statement and it is very well written compared to the Block 7 one. Still delusional drivel but well written drivel.

The GB refused to be searched, show ID or stop covering their faces so remained kettled by the Police during the OF game and were subsequently reported to the PF for failing to comply with lawful requirements. Believe the same fate befell the Union Bears but they were allowed to attend the match after complying with the law.

Police 2-0 Wee Bawbags
Match stats 100% possession for the Police
A very poor showing from the ultras
Oblivion beckons

Uniformed
Little
Tadgers
Run
Away

I note Celtic have issued a short lip service statement to help placate their complaining customers/rebels/supporters ... meanwhile the money keeps rolling into Celtic PLC. They mus hate the boil on their erse that is the GB so no way they speak to the Police about Kettlegate unless it's to thank them for dealing with the wee fannies.

[Northernhibee]

I’m sure it’s just hangers on of the police causing issues.

[Gatecrasher]

It's funny that they think they are important.

[Glory Lurker]

Mon the polis.

[BS44]

The young team are creating a terrific atmosphere at away games this season. Much credit to them.

I agree.

In terms of engaging the whole crowd and getting everyone going they have improved massively. Much more inclined to go with the support rather than fight against it. I love the fact that every verse of Glory Glory gets an airing every week now.

Their statement is a bit all over the place. As mentioned above one of the games they refer to saw pretty graphic images of 2 members/hangers on kicking **** out a guy who was already prone on the ground do the rounds on social media so maybe not the best example if the aim is to garner support and sympathy. They've also used imagery of them battling away at St Mirren in their own promo videos so they aren't shying away from the fact they engage in activity that is anti social and illegal. However the constant Police attention, which is often intimidating and heavy handed, must be a drag when it is happening every week, even at times when it isn't merited. I do agree there is an element of hypocrisy as well with the Police using snoods to cover their own face (and I've seen Police covering their numbers on their epaulettes to avoid identification as well) whilst demanding these guys consent to being identified for public safety. That surely has to work both ways?

I suppose it's one those catch 22s. If the group keep getting caught up in disagreements with other fans, violence and other anti social behaviour then the Police will keep at them and if the Police keep at them they will keep lashing out.

[Hibs Go Bragh]

Who would have thought a large group of folk all dressed the same in their pathetic "uniform" with their faces covered and having a history of carrying pyro, over crowding inside stadiums and causing trouble in the streets would be a target for the police! The two Glasgow mobs were running through shoppers in the city centre the last time they played each other.

They literally walk around with a sign saying who they are and then complain that they are being unfairly targeted. Thick as mince!

Meanwhile everyone else who wears normal clothes and behaves normally doesn't even get a look from the Police. Go figure!

[Centre Hawf]

The thing that annoys me is that I recognise the need for people like them to help make the atmosphere better, but the way these Ultra groups behave at times is so embarrassingly cringey that I can't help wish they didn't exist majority of the time. Too many of them watched Green Street/Football Factory and think they're back in the casual era and behave like wee fannies.

I would have no issues with the club working with them to create a dedicated singing/Ultra section (possibly near the front as it seems where they all want to be) of our away sections and say to them "here you go, here is 200 tickets" or whatever amount it is so we can stop this nonsense where they just steal people's seats and then force the issue onto other people. If I take my kids or go with my elderly family members I don't want to turn up and see there's folk in balaclava's in our seats telling me to go find somewhere else, only to have the same conversation with who evers seats I take. Even worse do I want to spend 15 minutes trying to get them to move only to sit amongst their peers anyway for 90 minutes?

Yep, whats stopping them from wearing “normal” clothes and hibs scarfs, surely that doesnt prevent them from singing hibs songs and jumping around. Or is that too normal for them that wearing all black and balaclavas makes you sound louder and creates a better atmosphere.

After all its about creating noise isnt it ?

[we are hibs]

Don't know if it's more hilarious or worrying that a bunch of grown men on here care that much about what a bunch of teenagers are wearing at the football

Police harassment like telling them to go to the seats they paid for at Celtic Park and not trying to kick Hibs fans out of theirs?
