Looked like the young guy was trying to reason with them. Next thing around 40 of them appeared, teenagers and guys in their 30's/40's, and chased the lad. Tossers. The problems between us and them dates back to the 70's when we'd hand them their arse's on a plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try to help him? Because he was walking backwards with his hands up talking to them before being chased down a street. That to me suggests he was reasoning with them. I was in a line of slow moving traffic with my wee laddie and his pal in the back, so no I never tried to help. Out of interest, would you have done?

Voxpop Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I remember watching a mass fight at tynecastle when we were both down in the first division. Hearts fans climbing over from wheat field in to the Georgie road end. Went on for about 15 minutes and was more interesting than the game. Police struggled to control it.

I remember us waving our filthy lucre and chanting "loadsa munney' at them way back in the late 80's, they didn't like that one little bit iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that the game where the police hats were being thrown around the Hearts fans in the shed. Young policemen were lucky to get out safely that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry your daughter got upset by what went on. As we were walking back to our bus most of us were pissing ourselves laughing, as one or two have already mentioned if those are modern day thugs/casuals, call them what you will, then football has little to worry about. One or two I was with thought it was actually schoolkids on a day out. And round about the supporters buses they shit themselves when they suddenly realised it isn't other kids they have to worry about, their mistakes and troubles started when they turned on older fans who aren't interested in something as basic as pavement dancing. They got terribly confused when people stood up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemclaren Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 There was certainly an atmosphere between the two clubs supporters in the late 70s and early 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Maybe the club should issue a statement next time encouraging fans to stay together and avoid being separated/ travelling alone. At the end of the day, they nearly killed the poor laddie last time, its not an exaggerated step to take. Police should be more visible between the ground and train station too.

Correct. There was always battles at Fir Park. Polce dogs, darts and golf balls with nails in was the order of the day back then. The fans didn't give a flying one about the police but when the dogs were let loose there was skid marks aplenty. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got terribly confused when people stood up to them. I agree, when I was her age(which was a while ago) this was a regular occurrence, I think it was just because we got caught right in the middle at the corner where the 2 sets of fans meet, she just found it a bit of a surprise, there were a couple of them trying to have a go with older fans just past the fire station, when the Hearts guys stood up to them they walked away.

The Treasurer Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I was walking past the Fire Station when the "confrontation" took place. It's clear these wee neds are fans of Strictly as there was some nifty footwork on display. Although I think they got a bit of a shock when they realised the older fans were prepared to stand up to their pathetic "threats" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
