campagnolo Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 There were scores of Hearts boys who changed to Hibs:sad: One had a Hearts tattoo while running with Hibs:confused: He was up at court charged with attacking Hearts fans and got the charges dropped when he showed his tattoo:mad: The story becomes stranger all the time. Scores of fans changing teams and charges dropped because someone has the defense of a tattoo!! come on........??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 The story becomes stranger all the time. Scores of fans changing teams and charges dropped because someone has the defense of a tattoo!! come on........??? How old are you? I'm doubting that you were out of nappies around 85-86 therefore are not best placed to actually give an account of what happened or who did what. If you are unable to ask one of your lot, in that I mean someone over 33 yrs of age then you are not going to get an accurate account. I think we've dragged this on far enough. Aren't there any threads on the other side to have a chat about this???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 It wasn`t all turncoating on the Hearts side. I know of a Hibs nut who turned on his own as they were heading into a ruck with a Hearts mob. I saw him a few times seeking sanctuary amongst the Hearts mob that used to sit below the commentary box. Paranoid world indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long ago was that? When I was around BM was Hearts and his brother DM was the dark side if I'm talking about the same people as you. If it is, have to say that they are both top blokes that are very liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BM I'm talking about turned as far back as 1985:cool: He's got a big brother who is still a Jambo now but was never sure of his first name. I'm not saying BM is not a top bloke now:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an interesting bit of edinburgh football history. The tattoo story if (hopefully) true is a cracker.

Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I remember going to my first match at Tynecastle after living overseas in 1985 v DU. I remember these guys with denims and jerseys tucked in reading and passing around National Front/ BNP newspapers. They were all around 15-16 years old. I luckily missed the Gorgie aggro period. I was too busy fighting Afrikaners when all this was going on. And those barstewards were big... I accept that all this violence was unacceptable etc. But it was all good old fashioned British tribalism in one of it's many facets. Christ I remember chasing and being chased by Punks in the late 70's in Livi for my Mod badges etc. I was only about 12. The stories my ex -bootneck brother could tell you would fill a book: Fighting the Pumphie gangs whilst living in Crazyhill in Livi in the late 60's with dustbin lids and sticks with nails in them, fighting toerags from Blackridge whilst living in the 'dale, beating the sh*t out of punks, neds, local toughs and fellow Booties whilst serving Her Majesty in Her Royal Corps of Marines. Really. It was just a laugh, you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not upset at all however once someone has said that it was true you've come back trying to say it's not and I've merely tried showing you may not have been best placed to say this. Maybe I'm defending those because I know first hand what it was like to be on both sides from mid 80's to mid 90's. We have all done things were not proud of however I'd like to point out that I was born and bred in Dalry and have always been a jambo!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertson9 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 You are right and some people do grow up! Though in saying that I was at the Heart v Airdire semi final at Hampden & a very respectable looking man in a suit threw a can of coke and broke my nose!!! Lesson to be learnt.... Just because someone looks repectable doesn't mean they are! Never trust a man in a suit! When someone ducks in front of you, maybe you should also! By any chance did you get nicked that day during the game? If so was it when the Hearts kicked it off with the Old Bill at the bottom of the open terracing?

The bit I doubted is that there could have been scores of hearts in the ccs. If it were that many they could have done their own thing. However anything is possible. You are right we have most likely flogged this near to death but it was interesting. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
