Have you ever been on a train back from an away game? Exactly Especially on away train coming back. Appalling really. Hence a reason i hardly go to away games. Was thinking about Motherwell on Saturday but unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find it incredible that supporters cite it as a reason, or part reason, not to go though. It's at it's lowest level that I can remember and I've been going since the eighties.

His argument seems to be not to get hung up on the anti-Catholic bigotry because they also sing racist and anti-Semitic stuff. Quite bizarre.

This issue is still very much with HMFC and as i said very noticeable and loud with the away support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly think it tars you with the same brush. It's only opposition fans who kid on they think all hearts fans are like that. Did you start going to games in the last ten or fifteen years? No idea how old you are obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to equate Scottish society being anti Catholic and anti Iirsh due to some muppets signing on a train . Good attempt fella . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hogfather Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 It's always a good laugh when people who claim to not go to away games talk about fans behaviour at away games.

Bang on mate There was a poster on here recently saying he stopped going to away games yrs ago as he had lost the plot and the amount of times he had confronted certain supporters Yet not one ounce of evidence Where or when and the out come Think it it just suited his agenda and for me BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as if a handful of young lads are pretty easy to avoid if you want to. It's just another convenient excuse for people who, in all honesty, can't be arsed travelling outside the EH postcode to watch Hearts.

Lets take away to Partick for example, trains going to Glasgow are fine as the support is fragmented. Getting onto an Edinburgh train on the way home at Queen Street is a nightmare with the tea towel brigade heading home too. Only too willing to abuse anyone and anybody.

Doctor FinnBarr Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 On 15/11/2021 at 18:52, Maple Leaf said: In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Canadian government implemented a system of residential schools. Indigenous children were removed from their families and placed in those residential schools, most of which were run by Catholic priests and nuns. Thousands of those children died from physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and disease and were dumped into unmarked graves. The latest count is over 4,000, but that number will certainly rise as the search for more graves is ongoing. The Canadian government has apologised to the Indigenous people for its role in this horror story. The Catholic Church has not apologised. Several requests for an apology have been made directly to the Pope, but he has not replied. You won't find many people in Canada who would agree that the Pope is a compassionate man. My maternal grandfather left me a leather bound book when he died in the early 80s, "50 years in the Church of Rome". Book? More like a tome, took me a full year to read. It was about a Canadian RC priest during the American Civil War who detailed the amount of money the Vatican was giving the Confederate states and how they were trying to link Lincoln with a whore. Priest ended up joining the Orange Order. No bloody idea what happened to that book/tome, most likely launched it after having a drink.
