Diadora Van Basten Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Kind of the same with my grandad, although he can manage to stand with a bit of moaning and groaning He just sits down the front so there's no loads of people infront of him now at hampden It's not great if you go to a match with kids and they can't see because the people in front of them are standing.

Bowmans_Boot Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 You think that getting annoyed at having to put up with constant racism and sectarianism is cringeworthy? I dont condone racism or sectarianism at all, no. But I think to post outrage at a group of fans singing a song that we have always sung is cringeworthy, as is complaining that some people actually smoked in the toilets.

Jambos_1874 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 When there's >25k Jambos at a game there's bound to be a small minority who behave like arseholes. We're just fortunate that it is a minority in our case, unlike the Old Firm where the majority of their supporters are arseholes (and that's putting it politely). But the OP's right, it usually is groups of young lads chanting sectarian crap when it's totally unneccessary. They should just GTF and go to Ibox if they want to chant that nonsense.

tian447 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Also nice to see a family outside the ground where the father who had about 3 teeth holding the hand of his little boy talking to his mate while lighting a fag about Ngoo the black *******. Honestly was shocking Also noticed a large number of people openly smoking in the stadium. What's that all about. Total chavs. Boy on the platform standing just in front of me at Mount Florida lit up a joint ffs Of all the things to do in public, where there was quite a large police presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also because I knew they wouldn't start anything with some of the toughies I was sitting with ) Know what you mean. We had a female hurling abuse at one of our players from the first minute. All around thought at first that it was some kind of "in" joke. Turned out she was serious. One of us had enough after a while and told her what he thought of her. Cue how she is a real fan who goes every week and can shout what she likes. She then got her hubby, who as a sign of his support for our club had already thrown his scarf away, to threaten him on the way out after the game. Just as well he didn't have the balls to carry thru his threats, or we would have had another case of fighting amongst each other. They had good seats as well, which would suggest they actually do go regularly. God help who they sit next to at Tynecastle. It would be enough for me to change seats, since there is no reasoning with, or escape from the unpleasantness of these morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowmans_Boot Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Is it a 'popular' song about religion or colour? If so, he's got every right to be upset. You know which song he is talking about - one which has been sung at Tynecastle since I started going in 1980 and long before then. If you are being strictly PC about it then the song itself is not acceptable at all: being up to your knees in anyone's blood isnt ok, no matter whether that group be hibees, celtic, Rangers, Muslim or fenian. Yet the issue is always, always about the fenian word, which has always, always been sung. On a separate note, I joined in with "oh the hibees are gay" today (despite not being homophobic at all) - that would be pretty offensive to a group of people and is also pretty non-PC, yet no-one complains about that on here.
