Taffin Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, Sherbet said: Not all versions hearts brought out a record in 1976, marching through gorgie. Unfortunately I'm old enough to remember It was on a CD much later than that too. I remember it when I was a kid...probably mid-90s. A few will always sing the version though that hurts others feelings; it's not really on in this day and age to be offending people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball fell to Rudi Skacel, and he made the Hibbes pay. Grainger scored his pen, gowser from a yard.

Sooks Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Starting to wonder if a better solution to this stupid ****ing Hun song song might actually be for everyone else to join in and use the lyrics from the old CD / record “ out to beat you every time “ ? At the moment most of us just do not sing anything when that song starts up and it dies out really quickly most times . If it was just a minority singing about fenian blood and everyone else singing the other lyrics then it would pretty much wipe the offensive part out right away . Killie and Dundee both sing versions of the song with no issues The morons in our own support are a definite minority nowadays so maybe just let it die out naturally and be replaced by the other words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always going to be linked to that.

Sooks Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 My Dad was a Teddy Boy . They generally did not think too much of the hooligans . The hooligans did not rate the casuals that would ultimately replace them . The Ultras in this country seem to be far more removed from casuals than the ultras in other countries are . Best just to let them strike their own path I reckon . Our ones do not seem to be that arsed about bigotry , racism and homophobia ect, so personally quite happy to have them adding a bit of noise to proceedings and I do not think my 45 year old self is entitled to tell them how to dress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything , when a few decide to sing the Hun version , and everyone else stays quiet , it makes what they are singing more clear to everyone else . If it was diluted down by three quarters of a stadium sing the less offensive lines then maybe that would be a more successful way of getting rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat in amongst them and as unsure if we could get 3 seats together elsewhere we decided to stay. one ultra introduced himself and asked our names as obviously we were not part of their group and he was most pleasant think he was just reassuring us that they were going be no bother i was right behind one of the flags and while mildly annoying got used to it and to be honest I’m more than happy to accept this as I love their enthusiasm and noise. A number never came back (or moved) after half time so much less cramped and while I wouldn’t choose to sit amongst them have no problem with their general behaviour The Union Jack song irritates me but nowhere near as much as Sibbick falling asleep in 6 yard box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone that does sing at the moment sings , then I expect they would be in the minority . My reasoning is that we sing in unison to most songs if we know them , and we do , but when that song starts it is always less people at the beginning and it tails off dramatically when it reaches “ we’re “ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
