For years clubs tried to encourage families to come along but you wouldn’t take kids anywhere near Hampden, or a derby, or a European away, or a game involving Celtic.

 

 

I agree that behaviour and respect shown to fellow HMFC fans is getting worse.

 

However, I disagree about no taking kids to Hampden, derbies, Celtic games, or Euro aways.

 

My kids have been to all recently and been perfectly safe and had good days out.

Probably correct on both counts.   I know from bitter experience that some Belgian beers need to be respected, not guzzled.

Alcohol = Violence shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone. Doesn't matter who/what/where it's always a possibility. Hopefully all just storm in a tea cup situation but hopefully everyone over there stays safe

That stadium is an utter dump as well. Death trap with those stairs.

No idea how it meets UEFA regulations. There wasn't even space for people to walk past others to get to their seats.

Nonsense. 
 

Were we all sober when we beat Hibs, Gretna, Rangers in the cup with zero trouble and more alcohol the human body can process? 
 

No.

So if tonight all 4000+ fans had been unable to access alcohol for the preceeding 48 hrs would you think we would have been hearing stories of fights/trouble etc? I like a drink as much as the next man btw, my point is that when you have a large group of people drinking heavily for an extended period of time the risk of something or someone being out of control is higher.

Sounds like some of the “permanently banned from Tynecastle” set could get tickets somehow.

We have some of the scummiest fans in football.

 

Some won’t like that but it’s a fact.

Been on plenty Euro trips but the utter shithousery I’ve seen and heard here has been embarrassing.

Not all that convinced by the argument that any particular beer has anything to answer for like.   Tending to lean towards the belief that the consumers of the beers are more accountable.

 

Willing to be convinced of course.

Agree entirely it's getting worse year on year. I'm starting to question whether I want to keep travelling abroad for games tbh. 

 

A really unpleasant under-current is growing in size. The only 'positive' is we seem to keep most of our fighting in-house... But as other have said, I've seen and heard about more than ever on this trip.

exact the same as me mate. Have my 11 year old with me. We both enjoy a sing song and the pre match banter but yesterday afternoon / evening and the game was a disgrace. 
 

He was genuinely shocked at some of the songs - Tony Mowbrays wife dying of cancer, The sash, hibs fans dying on jet skis - and the usual stuff about the IRA. I mean really?? No need for it at all. Nowt to do with Hearts.

Never heard any of what you have just said. Where were you?

Just to be clear. I and a group were in the centre of Bruges for circa 6 hours having food & drink and I never heard any of what is being claimed. The odd ***** , yes but not to the extent it’s being made out to be😂

All over, mate ...

 

And dinnae tell me that you failed to hear "Fu*k the IRA" as the last line of the "Cercle Away" chant along with heaps o' numpties giving it the finger.

 

There's no place for that at any football match, let alone a Hearts one.

Every chant I heard was Cercle Bruges away ole ole. If ur getting offended by a minority of folk singing f the IRA after it then that’s a you problem.

Nah, you're simply trying to deny that it happened, were well aware of it, and thus condone suchlike.

No im not, I never once tried to deny a small minority of hearts fans chanted f the IRA. I said if it offended you it’s ur problem, no one else’s.

Certainly not condoning any behaviour, but we were told the Aston Villa fans are absolute, scum of the earth.

Their behaviour here 2 weeks ago caused hotels to put €250 deposit on some Hearts' fans when they checked in. Thus was without warning.

Apart vomit everywhere, in lifts, etc, I was told they had a knife fight in a hotel (amongst themselves), and football fans are no longer welcome.

reminds me of the Bologna trip in the 90s - Aston Villa were in Milan the previous night and we were treated like English football hooligans - not that our behaviour was perfect  tbf

Winning makes a difference. Our current form + alcohol, not a good mix it would seem.

[JimmyCant]

End of the game on the live TV coverage you could see a scrap going on towards the front of the upper tier

 

This isn’t that new. When you get a big away support (anything more than 2000) you often see this behaviour on the trains, in the boozers and at the game.

Sounds like it’s gone up a level or 2 tonight right enough. Puts decent people off going so they’ll be even more prominent if something doesn’t change (dunno what the answer is apart from just avoiding going to games like this)

Definitely wasn't a small minority where I was and was one of the most prominent chants throughout the match.

That's because it wasn't a small minority.  It was a significant proportion of our support, so much so that it drowned out those trying to sing the non-IRA lyric.

 

Used to think it was a small minority of our fans that were knuckle dragging sectarian ****holes but that's not what I witnessed this week unfortunately.  From singing offensive songs constantly to trashing pubs (Delayneys shut tonight due to the carnage the night before), they've not painted the club in a very positive light this week.

 

But clearly the decent Hearts supporters who are offended by stupidity and ignorance are the problem....

[Baxfee]

The only ones defending here are actually the arseholes who are doing it.  Utter scum and a disgrace to our club.

So was Delayneys AND Monk closed last night? We were in both on Wednesday but avoided them after the game as we thought they would both be rammed already.

I heard lots. I even heard (what I assume we're Hearts fans) shouting "yea, 4-0 Rangers".

There are loads of Huns without bus fares in our support.

 

Edit, there was also the extremely shite song about cerlce Bruges away,and f the IRA. They're embarrassing.

We managed to avoid any issues and had a good time apart from the football. It's quite easy to avoid the morons.
