Stephane Grappelli Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 There's been a more consistent connection between hearts and fruity campness recently. Some hate that. Give me fruity campiness over the faux links to Northern Ireland any day. I think one thing that we can all agree on though is that the sooner we have a united, 32 county Ireland governed solely by Dublin, the better. Surely nobody on this forum would dispute that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixHearts Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Well said. Hearts is a non sectarian club and people of any nationality, and colour and any religion are welcome to support the club and play for the club. People who wish to tie us in to a fight/cause/war/struggle or whatever you want to call it, that belongs in the dark ages can go **** themselves. So sad that you could almost guarantee that certain posters would appear on this thread. Hopefully, the future generations of supporters of Heart of Midlothian will wonder what all this was about because this type of stupidity, like a cancer, has to be removed and allowed to die out. This. All day. Every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted an even bigger Civil War than the one that hit the Irish Free State post the 1920 Government of Ireland Act then you would have had it. Perhaps if Irish Home Rule had tried to be a little more inclusive rather than a solely Catholic affair as Daniel O'Connell espoused then the same spirit that radicalised Northern Presbyterians might, just might, have gone a different direction. Still, history is easy in hindsight. As for "oppression", you might want to look at the Protestant population in the South pre-partition and now.

One thing though Geoff, earlier you said I was 'trolling' and told people not to 'bite', then you 'bit' yourself? So which is it? I think, in the words of the great Bucks Fizz "soon you will find that there comes a time, for making your mind up".

Bridge of Djoum Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Enlighten me then Obi Wan, if it's because they are orange men you are biggest TOSSER here for judging them because they have different beliefs to yours. I know a few Hearts fans who go across to Ireland 2-3 times a season for Glentoran games. A look at their social media activity suggests they are very much into such lovely sentiments as ''1690'' ''FTP'' ''Gorgie Loyal'' with red hand of Ulster included. These are same wee trumpets involved with the plane incident. I've no doubt you are friends with these guys too, judging by your posts here. Going over to games is one thing, but the rest of the shite has absolutely **** all to do with Hearts. When you put our name on the same flag as a red hand, it's a ******* embarrassment and goes against the club and it's values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo1961 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) No, you're barking up the wrong tree on this one lad. I can almost understand the divvies over there putting on their fancy dress and parading around making utter t!ts of themselves because they have been brought up with it and brainwashed by all that nonsense. However, any Hearts fan from this side of the water who wants to go over to another country, dress up like Mr Ben and mince through the streets banging a big drum needs to have his head examined.

aussieh Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I was in the Linfield directors box a few times and they all presumed I would be a Rangers fan. When I said Hearts they said a lot of Glens fans have a soft spot for us. A lot also have a soft spot for Rangers, though, so it isnt clean cut.

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It is clear from remarks on this thread that a lot of posters are not impressed by the Loyalist/Orange traditions and rituals in Northern Ireland. The irony is that many in that Loyalist/Orange tradition identify closely with Scotland and things Scottish. Many trace their roots to Scotish settlers from the 16th and 17th Century. They even have a "language" that is close to that Robbie Burns (and his generation) used. We even have a poster on here now based in the Antipodes who would be referred to as 'Ballymena Scottish' if he opened his mouth in his native town. (Just joking if you are looking in.)
