If I'm being optimistic I would say that the songbook is poor and that's why it remains popular. However, I don't think I've heard so many Hearts fans giving it the fenian blood chant ever. Interesting for me that I was there with a large group of mates and boys who I think are intrinsically really sound were up belting it out. I guess I'm just a little too sensitive as someone significantly more talented than me once lamented. Edited May 26, 2019 by Jodami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphonseCapone Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) I assume, rightly or wrongly, that around 90 odd percentage of those using the word fenian, either don't really get what it means or care, and genuinely don't believe in the intention behind it. Not arguing that makes it OK, but if I didn't believe that then I doubt I'd feel comfortable at games given my background. There aren't many songs that have the same impact atmosphere wise but I do obviously wish the fenian and Billy boys aspect would be dropped.

busby1985 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Different take on the atmosphere yesterday. The Atmosphere was class but still think it could be even better. Celtic fans to a man stood for 90 minutes, no one stood in my section. When a song starts the full Celtic end join in and join in on time, we still have loads who don’t sing and when they do are miles out with everyone else. I know this comes from the fact that Celtic get 60k every 2nd week so are used to singing on mass and most season have loads to sing about. We have probably about 10k fans that get stuck in when it comes to atmosphere, the rest are happy just to watch the football. I’d say probably about a third of each fan base, 20k Celtic, 10k hearts, sing their hearts out. The young boys on our bus sang loads of great new tunes on the bus, no bigotry, about Berra, Naismith, hickey, Uche, Haring etc. None of them got sung in the club pre match or at the game. We need to embrace the young team more. We can embrace them and still be against bigotry, they aren’t exclusive. We have some classic old chants but we need more on the song sheet and the only people making up new tunes are the young team. Tynecastle can be our weapon when it’s bouncing, we need everyone to come together when it comes to atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for that, is all the Celtic and Rangers fans are happy to join in the bigoted songs. The Hearts support have a section who are determined to sing bigoted songs, and a much larger section who will not join in. So you get everyone singing the Hearts and European songs, then a rendition of The Gorgie Boys starts and dies after the first two lines, often it’s sung over the top of with a Hearts song.

Everyone is in pretty good spirits and the majority are joining in with at least some of the songs. Someone starts ‘The Gorgie Boys’ and many who were singing the other songs don’t join in.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Relief for me on Saturday, that we all got up for it and stayed with it. Unity even when it went wrong. Might sound a strange thing to say, but the colour inside the ground was magnificent, real sense of occasion and people rise to that, people also rise to positive performance and effort. Tynecastle was vibrant and noisy probably to the point where Rangers burgled us in December. Having been lucky enough to stand on the pitch, believe you me with the 4 stands as they are now, if we get going as a team, don't cross over the silly line as a support, we have an arena that will strike fear into our opponents. Need to get over this malaise, front foot football, healthy squad, younger players back in, quit the pyro and chucking, bang the drum, sing the songs and get this thing going again. Saturday probably had all of that. Maybe not front foot, but certainly not passive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Our support Saturday was excellent right behind the team from start to finish. One guy a few rows behind was obsessed with pedophilia and was all he focused on for 90mins but he was drowned out by the noise and numbers and just sounded ridiculous. As for Hullo Hullo Yes it is a catchy tune but Opposition supporters just laugh at us and take the piss when we sing Hullo Hullo. It's cringe worthy these days. We should be a better club than singing about a weegie facist gangster prick from the 1920s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
