RobNox Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 19 minutes ago, No Idle Talk said: People with that opinion aren't 'roasters'. They just don't want the Edinburgh Derby to descend into the farce the OF has become. Stricter and proper policing can fix this. Cutting allocations or banning away fans is the easy option but ultimately it leads to a worse matchday experience. An Edinburgh Derby at Tynie with no Hibbies or an Edinburgh Derby at Easter Road with no Jambos is not the solution here. I agree. Cutting allocations should be a last resort, but unless the message can get through to those fans who think it's acceptable to throw objects at players, it's a step we might have to take. First and foremost, we have a duty of care to our players, which takes precedence over any consideration of preserving the derby atmosphere. FWIW, there's a thread on Hibs.net calling out these morons, as the majority of their fans don't want to see ticket allocations reduced because of a minority of imbeciles. Sadly, I don't think the imbeciles give a sh!t about how their actions might affect the majority of their fellow fans who know where to draw the line when it comes to derby rivalry.

Pasquale for King Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 2 hours ago, Captain Lithuania said: Hibs fans have been getting away with incremental increases in disorder ever since they won the cup. In fact, can anybody tell me a single derby goal they’ve scored since they won the cup where their fans haven’t entered the pitch? It’s honestly shocking and I’m so disappointed in the board for not instantly slashing their allocation to the bare minimum for the next derby at our place, with them getting an extra section or two in the future if they can behave themselves. Our board aren’t interested though. I agree, but 300 of them haven’t invaded a pitch for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teach them a lesson. That's what I'd heard too but it seems crazy that a gathering of police can watch law breaking going on 30 yards away (and on monitors) but are paid to do nothing. I think back to some of the crowd trouble at derbies at Easter Road in the 1980s and wonder how they'd have played out if the police had just stood by and watched it happen. Seems ironic that the police often viewed law abiding teenage supporters like me, and many others on here, as scum in the 1980s but the scum that disrupt matches these days seem to do so without punishment. And if action is being taken after games then it should maybe be publicised more to help act as a deterrent. If there are seemingly no repercussions then maybe there's seemingly no disincentive.

Bongo 1874 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 magnificent_seven 10:09 PM Yesterday It's time we turn our words into action. We're not just fans; we're part of a club known for setting precedents, for being pioneers in Scottish football. Now, it's our turn to lead. The chants we heard tonight were abhorrent. Disgusting. Targeting one of our own - Martin Boyle, during his time of vulnerability, shouting sectarian abuse at him whilst he was stretchered off, motionless and with an oxygen mask on. This is a stark reminder of why we must act. It's not just about one game; it's about protecting the values we hold dear, ensuring Easter Road remains a sanctuary for respect and unity. Let's flood the club with letters and emails demanding an indefinite ban on Rangers fans at Easter Road. While we may not have Mr. Kensell's direct email, we can send our messages to the generic club email or the postal address at Easter Road - any email addresses or contacts that people have which would be beneficial - please share. Every communication counts. Make sure to express why this is crucial, not just for us, but for the integrity of the club and the example we set. We need to take the bold move to put integrity above revenue. This isn't just about reacting to one incident; it's about setting a standard, about saying that we, as a club, will not tolerate hatred and bigotry. Let's remind everyone why Hibs is a club of firsts. We were the first to play under floodlights, the first Scottish club to be listed on the stock market, the first to play in European competition, and now, we can be the first to take a stand against sectarianism in this manner. Tonight is the final straw for me. Why should we have to tolerate this nonsense, every single time Rangers are in town. The governing bodies choose to blissfully ignore this behaviour time after time and I personally don’t want to do that anymore. And whilst nothing is ever done by the SFA or called out by the mainstream media - this is something that we can control. Our supporters deserve better, our players deserve better and the club as a whole deserves better. Let's do this for our club, for Martin Boyle, and for every player and fan who believes in the power of football to bring people together, not tear them apart. Your letter, your voice, can make a difference. Let's be the change we want to see for our club and for Scottish Football as a whole.

Years of attending matches against the OF has made me pity the types of people who sing this nonsense while waving their silly wee flags. They’re a sad indictment of west coast society and the hangers on in other parts that seek to emulate them. I long for the day of European Superleague Division 3 accepting them and Scottish football turning into just that: nothing about Northern Ireland or religion. But just to be 100% clear: we’re laughing at the Lochend Vermin here. On flags, I've noticed that there are few if any union jack anymore at the home games, even v celtic and hibs. It seemed to confuse them, especially the hibs fans who were waving the daft wee tri colours in order the get a reaction but then hid them as there was none. My hibs mate who was calling us mini huns stopped the texts when I sent him a photo of the only union jack in the stadium - in the hibs end. Have the flag wavers saved in the bus fares, or have we turned the page on the nonsense? We seem ti be dropping the diet hun tag. Rather pleasing imo.

The Celtic fans haven’t been a problem since we cut their allocation, AFAIK. The old firm have an agreement that’s why they get away with not suppling each other away tickets. If hibs don’t agree we will be forced to give them tickets. If the police aren’t enforcing the law anyway the numbers are irrelevant. Apart from the singing I’m not sure we’ve had a lot of bother in he stadium with away Celtic fans, certainly nothing like the hibs fans.

Great post We can all cite multiple instances of copius amounts of shit being thrown at our own players and even them being assaulted. Rudi, Cochrane, Shankland, Bobby.. "but but but someone chucked a coin at Neil Lennon" - Doesn't in any way shape or form justify anything. That fan should have been banned, cannot get into the realm of being able to punch players, pelt them with everything under the sun when they're trying to take a penalty and all things in between. Us halfing their allocation is IMO entirely justified. Emphasis needs to be on it being a temporary measure in response to those antics. If Hibs want to respond and do the same, then fine. But they're the ones that will look like idiots. Also, not sure their stands are constructed in a way which would make spliting the away end easy (with the upper and lower tiers etc.).

I'm sure the club are working hard with the security team to figure out where it came from and identify who did it. But its just one of a litany of things thrown by Hibs fans at our players over the years, without strict liability there is no blow back on clubs (and therefore not the sort of firm and decisive action needed) to cause them to address the problem. The sort of person that chucks a corkscrew at a player probably doesn't care if they get caught. But they might care a bit more if their club was penalised for their actions. Sadly, with the undeniable sectarianism in the West, there will never be enough votes to push through strict liabiltiy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its just one of a litany of things thrown by Hibs fans at our players over the years, without strict liability there is no blow back on clubs (and therefore not the sort of firm and decisive action needed) to cause them to address the problem. The sort of person that chucks a corkscrew at a player probably doesn't care if they get caught. But they might care a bit more if their club was penalised for their actions. Sadly, with the undeniable sectarianism in the West, there will never be enough votes to push through strict liabiltiy. Can we stop calling it a corkscrew???? it was a knife! The blade stuck in the ground and the corkscrew attachment was closed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
