I just go to games to support the famous and leave all the other stuff alone. I just think we could grow the fan base more without one or two things happening at the moment. As I said it doesn't bother me personally but it could to potential fans. I would rather we had a few snowflakes if it meant Tynecastle was jam packed and the rest of us roaring the team on in a positive way.

 I don’t think it keeps people away. Our attendances are testament to that.

Our fan base is the third best in Scotland and always will be.

I just see it settled at about 16k right now but that could be because the football is the not best at moment. I think the potential is definitely there to grow back to full houses again but the atmosphere has to be welcoming without any sectarian undertone.

 I don’t agree.

You’ve gave the reason why the attendances are what they are. It’s nothing to do with what’s being sung in the stands.

[Forever Hearts]

The amount of potential Hearts fans I have heard say they won't go to Tynecastle because of sectarianism must be at the most none.

As you're talking about my post I'll answer. Nope none of that shite bothers me. It's all in the past and used to wind up other fans. It's childish mind numbing pish and people who get offended by it need to give themselves a shake. If that's the only thing you have to worry about in life you're doing very well.

Nailed it with ‘used to wind up other fans’. Been this way for 40-50 years that I can remember. ‘You’re gonna get your f*ckin heads kicked in’ ‘Come and have a go with the Gorgie Aggro’  Or what used to echo around the shed ‘it is old but it is beautiful’ which was merely a chorus and very likely 75% or more that sang it wouldn’t actually know the full song. Football rivalry will never go away but the actual songbook has become far less offensive as opposed to 10-20 years ago or more. What the vast amount will sing and chant inside a stadium bears no resemblance to how they would act outwith it but unfortunately we still have those who simply look for offense day after day.

It's a straight forward question.

 

If it's ok for bigoted /sectarian songs to be sung by some so called Hearts supporters, as you advocate/defend, then is it  also ok for them to sing racist songs. If not why would it be wrong to sing racist songs but ok for bigoted ones?

 

What makes it ok to defend sectarism but oppose racism?

 

You absolutely love these sort of threads, criticising Hearts supporters, other threads not so much

It's hard to argue with any of that.

Fans get carried away in the moment and sing things just to wind up the opposition. When we play the Dons we sing a certain song but I don't really believe that many of them actually s*** any sheep. 

What you’re joking right..... Aberdoninans really don’t shag sheep? But but why do we call them sheep shaggers? This thread is so confusing. Next you'll tell me Santa clause is just a myth lol. I wonder if I’m a racist bigot too as I joined in with every song that was sung?

For 90 mins on Saturday GT I joined the other 20k in a mass singalong. Proud to be with the other scum and 20k vile individuals ?. 

 

As I made my way to hamdump before the game, I was actually accosted by 3 dirty vile hooped vermin  and told to ‘feck off back tae embra ya orange bar steward or wull rip ye’. I felt threatened and as a scuffle broke out, I managed to catch one with a glancing head butt before the gendarme broke it up. Almost got lifted and didn’t make the game. The fact I was outnumbered went in my favour.

 

So as far as Saturday went, then I was definitely giving it large to every song. Voice has just recovered now. FTC

Lads.. interesting thread and a range of views. Personally I don’t think the anti-rc vibe puts people off coming. But you boys that sing that stuff have to realise that the rest of scottish fitba hears it and thinks ‘oh there’s the wee Rangers up to their knees in blah blah again’. And while that goes on hmfc will forever be associated with that club from govan. Is that really worth it?

These types of posts always amuse me (not a dig at you) there are usually similar types of posts after ER games too, I'm almost 30, I've grown out of singing hello hello, despite what you claim there its never close to the 100% figure jointing in... like others have said, it's the connection to rangers that I dislike so much. I don't want my club referred to as wee huns etc.. 

 

Next time your at ER or a semi/final, take a step back and actually look around the whole support during a chorus of Hello Hello. It's not everyone.

Hullo Hullo was fantastic on Saturday. Sung loudly and proudly by a majority of Hearts fans.

 

Happy days. Hopefully back with a bang and here to stay.

Eh no. I hate these threads.

 

I'd much prefer sectarianism wasn't part of football and people didn't use clubs, and Hearts in particular, as a vehicle to promote their personal political/bigoted views. 

 

If anyone uses HMFC to promote their personal agenda that makes them open to criticism. You don't get a free pass to attach bigoted/racist or any other political view cn the club  just cause you throw a Hearts scarf round your neck and claim you're a supporter.

Strange things to have a wet dream about but each to  their own I guess.

 

Also a punch up between a good few Hearts fans at the top of exit 54/56 south stand. I believe it involved some fans from the Tanners bus. Again it was over bigoted insults hurled towards the opposition and some people took offence and then a melee ensued. Was broken up by half a dozen stewards just before the police intervened. Guess you missed that too?

I think we have the benefit of being part of a support that really was one of the best/worst depending how you look at it but Tynecastle was certainly a very intimidating place for other teams and supporters to visit.

If there were Celtic supporters in the Hearts end at the cup final why were they not immeadiatly put out by the Glesca Polis? What is the point of having Police and Stewards if they stand by and do nothing? I really hope the club raises this as a priority.

'Scrapping in the South Stand Upper' the thread title states  but having clicked on the last few pages, reading from the last back the way, all I'm getting is Hearts fans having a pop at each other and debating songs... Typical Kickback, the easily offended twisting the tale.
