Big laddie for whom great things were expected from him, given his supposed great form in the Juniors with Shettleston. Went on to play with lower league senior clubs after we let him go.

That may have been the cup replay, in the 70s, where Hearts fans got there early and took our normal place down from the refreshments kiosk. Normal place that is, for all home games except against Celtic and Rangers. It was the norm for them to take over the whole covered terrace apart from the corner at the School End. They used their huge numbers to charge and remove the Hearts fans in there. Segregation gave us our ground back, and confined both of them to the Gorgie Road end of the terracing. Anyone who thinks that segregation isn’t a good thing, can’t have been around before it was introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always heard that Hearts and Hibs fans would go to the derby match together and watch the match together without any problems. The uglies have always been nasty pieces of work.

With fewer season tickets sold there was little or no segregation in the ground, enclosure or Stands until hooliganism became prevalent.

The uglies have always been nasty pieces of work. There was usually almost an agreed segregation at Tynecastle for derbies. We would be under the refreshments kiosk, in the covered terracing, and they would be further along. Elsewhere in the ground, it was mixed, although Hibs fans, mostly, went to the School End, as I recall. There were skirmishes, fairly regularly, but nothing too serious. Certainly not like that Celtic cup replay. Anything other than an argy bargy was usually confined to where the 2 groups of younger fans were congregated, either at Tynecastle or in the Cave at Easter Road. New Years Day derbies had many fans bringing along their bottle and carry outs, with no obvious sign of increased bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my mind the recurring problems only really started when segregation was brought in, yes you had fights on the terraces before, but the segregation channeled it into areas that touched.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Going to home matches against Celtic and Rangers had been very intimidating for many Hearts fans. Our home ground was just taken over and you felt you couldn't even cheer on your team in most areas of the terracing. I once got attacked,as a young boy, just for standing in the School End with my Hearts scarf on, by a bunch of Celtic thugs. That all changed with segregation. It did prevent people going to derbies together but, in my opinion, it made the whole experience of going to big games safer and more enjoyable.

To my mind the recurring problems only really started when segregation was brought in, yes you had fights on the terraces before, but the segregation channeled it into areas that touched. Interesting discussion this, about segregation. I agree with teeshirt. Most fans, then and now, went/go to the game to behave. A minority spoil it, and even revel in the bad behaviour. Occasionally on Kickback, some contributors will look back fondly on various battles and rammies. Before segregation, there were parts of the ground that would be flash points and parts of the ground that were mixed. You might go to a derby with your mates, as I sometimes did, though this was not always a happy experience in an era when Hibs mostly won. I'd love to have gone to the games with my Hibee pals post-1983. Imagine going to the 5-1 game with a Hibee! It also adds to the cup final atmosphere because at the end of the game, half the ground hasn't emptied. Slightly off topic, I was pleased with how many Hearts fans stayed well after the final whistle at the 2019 final to support the team, who'd given a good account of themselves. It meant a longer wait at Mount Florida in the rain, but that's what supporters do. In the old days, you'd also rub shoulders with weegie OF supporters, most of whom were perfectly decent guys, up for some banter. Nothing to be afraid of. I always liked Motherwell because some Well fans shared some of their sweets at a match in the 60s. Now, with seats and segregation, things are both safer and more tribal. If you're standing beside someone you don't shout 'you're scum and you know you are' in their face, mostly because you've probably already figured out that they're not scum. But from the safe distance of your seat in a different stand, where, after the game, fans head in different directions, people will shout all kinds of foul insults. That 'we're from the capital' song. Dearie me. For what it's worth, I accept that segregation is here to stay. But it is a disgraceful state of affairs that significant numbers of grown men (and it is men) can't be trusted to behave in a public place. There's a real problem today, made worse by social media, of 'othering', which means treating people differently based on who they are. For Trump, it's the Mexicans. For Brexiters, it's Europeans. For blood and soil nationalists, it's the English. For football fans, our rivals have too easily become our enemies. We need to grow up, the better to enjoy life.
