That said, even without the song it's a bit odd to wave the flag of an individual player's country rather than the country of your own club.

I take it that flag was being waved as we have a couple of Northern Ireland internationalists playing for us. Personally I would support a singing section but I would feel really upset and let down if it was taken over by a bunch of sectarian eejits.

Thomson1874 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The group was nowhere near 20 people, I was in the row in front of the guys with the drum and flag and they were more like a group of 5, so most the people in that photo weren't part of any group. As for the drum, for the group at Tynecastle next season, if there is going to be a drummer, please get someone who can actually play the drums as the person behind me doing it on Saturday was atrocious.

Might have been an idea to call them out to wheesht/grow up and you guys sing Hearts songs/drown the bigoted pish out - would have put a real good marker down for your group.

Idiots on both end of the spectrum bringing politics into tynecastle. I agree with what you say above. As someone who classes the Union flag as my flag I don't have the compulsion to carry it with me into Tynecastle or on the road domestically when following HMFC. Just like I cannot understand why Celtic fans feel the need to carry the Irish tricolour, something I view again as just a flag, but cannot understand what it brings to a football game. I understand and respect that among the HMFC support there are people who have different or no religious beliefs, people who have differing political points of view and the likes. But to me there is an old saying which is very true. Football, religion and political beliefs each have their own place in life and football stadiums are not the place to bring each to the fore as a mixture. I've got no problem if I sit around three people for example, and during the week one goes to a meeting of the Orange Order, one goes to a meeting of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the third gets together with a few like minded people to discuss SNP strategy. However, during the course of a football match all that matters to me is that they go along to watch HMFC as fans of that club, and leave all their differences outside the stadium for another day. I have my own religious beliefs, my own political beliefs and follow football, during that period I'm following football that is all that is important to me.
