Take em along to support Jake Mulraney and Colin Doyle? Can you imagine? The Stone Island crew would have nosebleeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homme Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It's not sevco like behaviour. Hearts have always been a support that has leanings this way. It just so happens Rangers do too. The hearts fans that do this don't support rangers, they don't even like rangers. Just have the same cultural leanings. I use the term cultural loosely as most of the people who indulge in this wouldn't know culture if it smacked them in the face. Most are hangers on. Personally I'm glad the Hearts support is wide ranging. Live and let live n all that jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The embarrassing thing is they encourage the young team and join in on the bile. The fabled "groomers" mate! That really is the saddest behaviour among our support, these are boys who think they are somehow preserving the flame of being anti Catholic and associating it with the club. It's pathetic, creepy and plain wrong. Manipulating young men in this way when you are that age is downright sinister, though I suppose if your trouble now looks like Arlene Foster then you get your kicks where you can.

Chances on someone wrapped in UJ going to a Hearts game and regularly act in a sectarian manner............ Not always of course but tends to appear highly likely. It should also be added that a significant number of our fans don't take union flags and only wear hearts colours but act in a sectarian manner too. True. i don’t take flags to games. If I did ever take a union flag it would be to an away game abroad just because we would be representing GB football. But likely wouldn’t! agreed that whilst harmless and totally ok to do it it really is mostly if not entirely done by idiots with ulterior motive.

StirlingJambo Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 No problem if someone wants to take a Union Jack. I wouldn’t personally but each to there own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see now we play in Maroon and the Union flag is red white and blue. What purpose does it serve taking it to a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Section Q Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Tynieman said: After a wonderful victory against our gimps yesterday, I don't want to bring any negatives but... I've been vocal of my dislike of Sevco type behavior from a small element of our support. At the game yesterday, the only thing which annoyed me was the amount of Union Jacks and Sevco like behavior from our (mainly young) supporters. What's more, the picture in the evening news clearly shows some of the wee f*nnies using the ulster hand. Is there not some way we can self police this? It's really getting worse and these idiots are starting to get on my t!ts. Anyone who really thinks that bringing Union Jacks into our games is OK, should be told to bolt by the rest of us. Imagine being proud of being a bigot... It's no difference to racism and should be treated as such. No room for flags at games and that goes for the Irish ones in the Hibs end too.

Bungalow Bill Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Had a guy next to me yesterday singing billy boys, then he was giving a standing ovation to Wheelan. Not the sharpest tool in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
