Let's call them what they are

[John Findlay]

Bigots.

This shouldn't really matter in this day and age, but alas it does to the braindead amongst us.

I am a Catholic, in that I was baptised a Catholic aged just Three months at Saint Margaret Mary's chapel Boswall Parkway 

In July 1963.

I attended the following schools in chronological order.

Royston Primary, Almond Bank primary Livingston, Dalmuir West primary, Dalmuir, Pirniehall primary, St Catherine's primary, St Peter's primary, and last but not least ST Thomas of Aquins Secondary.

As you can see I attended Four non-Catholic schools before I attended a Catholic school. My secondary school was interesting as for the four years I was there. We only had Eighty boys, of those Eighty boys at least Twenty of us were Heart of Midlothian supporters. That's Twenty Five percent of us. A whole one quarter of us at a Catholic school.

What did I learn at these schools.

I learned that Catholic and non-Catholics are no different to each other. We wear the same clothes, speak the same language, and use the same swear words. Eat the same food, and allegedly believe in the same God.

 

So to those of you in the Heart of Midlothian support who revel in singing being up to your knees in Fenian blood(which you mean Catholics) will you just do all us right thinking Heart of Midlothian supporters a favour and **** right off. 

You hate the IRA, guess what, so do I and unlike ninety nine percent of you, I went up against them. Ninety nine percent of you would shite your pants if you ever bumped into them.

Here's the thing I also hate the UDA. They are no different to the IRA terrorists just the same. 

I think I can speak for all right minded Heart of Midlothian supporters when I say. You are not wanted at Tynecastle, and you are not wanted at any football ground that The Heart of Midlothian at playing at.

So take yourselves and your pishy ditties/songs and **** right off.

You are not wanted, more to the point you are not needed.

[Malinga the Swinga]

Plenty of reasons why I like some folk and am ambivalent to others. The colour of your skin, your sex, the religion you choose (or have forced onto you) and your sexual preferences aren't amongst the reasons.

Everyone should be welcome at Tynecastle.

Spot on

[SectionDJambo]

I have nothing but contempt for bigots, of any persuasion, or racists for that matter. I certainly don't want to be associated with them.

The bigots who infect the Hearts support bring shame on our football club and tarnish the reputation of the vast majority of good, decent Hearts fans.

I wish they would clear off to their spiritual home in Govan.

[BackOfTheNet]

Flag shaggers and singers of such songs are weird. Honestly thought it was a thing of the past but certainly in the last 10-15 years it’s cropped up. Likely the usual divorced bald headed coke snorting uncles that are warping the minds of their impressionable nephews, but these young laddies with hovering wig like modern do’s need to think for themselves and realise that they support a football club, which has NOTHING to do with a conflict in another country from half a century ago and beyond.

 

It’s one thing to sing along with a catchy tune not knowing its meaning, that can be forgiven. But once you know its meaning and continue to sing it - in the name of “atmosphere”, I’m sorry but that crosses the line into bigot. And you’re just acting like bellends, because you know what you’re doing when you do it, yet you still do it.

 

And by the way this goes for any supporter of any club that brings non footballing matters into why they support the club. If your support for Hearts is contingent on anything other than it was your local club, you’re parent’s club, you came from a non football supporting family and just liked the club, then your support is weird. Supporting a club believing it has links to another country or religion or anything of that ilk in this day in age is preposterous and you should be called out for the idiots you are for doing so.

Brilliant posting John . I hardly ever mentioned that some of my family are Catholic due to the intolerance of some on here . I freely admit some are Hibbes but that gets less  hostile responses .

I've never hid fact I'm a Catholic although a don't practice religion 

[Westendheart]

Absolutely agree that the bigotry on display in Brugges shames our club and we need to do something about it. I have written to Hearts on numerous occasions on this theme but the club has been hijacked and now looks and sounds more and more like Rangers when we are representing Scotland in Europe.

The anti catholic songs are a disgrace. Time for the club to use banning orders.

The Gorgie Ultras seem to think Union flags and sectarian songs are obligatory when away from Tynecastle but the wider support are guilty too.

The fact that catholic schools exist is one of the big problems. How do we expect to resolve these problems when kids are separated into tribes at an early age .

 And let’s not pretend that this is a one sided problem as it certainly is not.  There is equal amount of stupidity in both sides. 
 

and I speak as someone who has a large side of the family who are catholic also. 
 

it has more to do with politics than religion tbh.

Shame on them all.

 

The way the world is going, folk like that will be fearless with what they sing and how they act.

 

No respect, just thugs on a power trip who really need to face some serious repercussions.

Honestly, the amount of times I’ve thought about chucking it because of the right wing/racist/homophobic etc patter at Hearts games. But I always remind myself of my Hearts daft Grandad, an old school labour guy from Musselburgh who worked his life down the mines and it’s just like nah, you pricks don’t get to dictate the image of the football club or who is welcome through the gates at Tynecastle.

I’ve said all along the “ultras” act like perfectly behaved wee schoolboys when at home and can’t wait to brag about their charity toy drives etc, yet are coked up to their eyeballs and behave terribly at away games where they think they’ll have less spotlight on them. When they are self proclaimed “led” by well known bigots like Freddie Heron they’ll never go far as the club doesn’t trust them - as they are perfectly right to do. Bunch of immature arseholes who think they are more entitled than other fans especially on away trips

Let me make myself clear. I wasn't taught hate at any of the schools I attended.

Why so many schools?

Royston. I lived round the corner from the school. It was a Thirty seconds walk away. My father(from a Staunch, and I mean staunch protestant family), didn't see the sense of me walking half a mile and crossing a main road(Crewe Road North) to attend St David's when there was a school just around the corner.

My mum and dad got married at Leith registrary office as his dad refused to enter the chapel and my mum's dad refused to enter the kirk. My father to his great credit in my eyes. Called both his father and father in law bigots.

[Westendheart]

Not sure that I would go on anymore European trips with Hearts as the occasion was ruined by bigots and sectarian songs.

[Smithian]

Very good opening post. 
 

I am also Catholic, but I’m not personally bothered too terribly by chants. I take it lazy banter. I do think any sectarian or otherwise hateful song should be fought, but people taking part in those gross moments would just be doing other offensive activities even if we binned all the religious and political talk.

 

I also am separated by an ocean. Not as noticeable on Hearts International.

 

To those who are more face to face with the hateful elements of our support, don’t be quiet about it if you’re offended. All that accomplishes is ceding the space to them. 
 

Hearts did a very good thing giving space for the Ultras and other groups to thrive. The problem is now they have to push back on the bad while rewarding the good, and that isn’t easy. But it’s a must.

As you can see I attended Four non-Catholic schools before I attended a Catholic school. My secondary school was interesting as for the four years I was there. We only had Eighty boys, of those Eighty boys at least Twenty of us were Heart of Midlothian supporters. That's Twenty Five percent of us. A whole one quarter of us at a Catholic school.

What did I learn at these schools.

I learned that Catholic and non-Catholics are no different to each other. We wear the same clothes, speak the same language, and use the same swear words. Eat the same food, and allegedly believe in the same God.

 

So to those of you in the Heart of Midlothian support who revel in singing being up to your knees in Fenian blood(which you mean Catholics) will you just do all us right thinking Heart of Midlothian supporters a favour and **** right off. 

You hate the IRA, guess what, so do I and unlike ninety nine percent of you, I went up against them. Ninety nine percent of you would shite your pants if you ever bumped into them.

Here's the thing I also hate the UDA. They are no different to the IRA terrorists just the same. 

I think I can speak for all right minded Heart of Midlothian supporters when I say. You are not wanted at Tynecastle, and you are not wanted at any football ground that The Heart of Midlothian at playing at.

So take yourselves and your pishy ditties/songs and **** right off.

You are not wanted, more to the point you are not needed.

Well said that man

I am a Catholic, in that I was baptised a Catholic aged just Three months at Saint Margaret Mary's chapel Boswall Parkway 

In July 1963.

They can't handle their drink , drugs and whatever else these days

A lot of arseholes just turn up for a big day out and some don't even know the players names, the bravado kick's in and they are all over the place 

There is shit like this in every support , a minority spoiling it for the majority 

Society in Scotland is in the bin and obviously a lack of respect and education is an issue 

This is true actually, guys that spend a fortune going to away games, sometimes spending £300-£400 for a day when you take into account the match ticket, travel, drink, food and “gear” (anyone using that term immediately tells the rest of the population they’re a pathetic arsehole) think they’re somehow better than fans that buy a season ticket go to all the home games but no away ones. A lot are not doing the away days to support the club, might be part of it, but it’s because they want the day out. Which is fine, but don’t pretend you’re better than fans who actually invest time and money into the club, supporting the club and caring about the club. For footballing reasons. Nothing more or less. Football. Because it’s a football club FFS.

Let me make myself clear. I wasn't taught hate at any of the schools I attended.

Why so many schools?

Royston. I lived round the corner from the school. It was a Thirty seconds walk away. My father(from a Staunch, and I mean staunch protestant family), didn't see the sense of me walking half a mile and crossing a main road(Crewe Road North) to attend St David's when there was a school just around the corner.

My mum and dad got married at Leith registrary office as his dad refused to enter the chapel and my mum's dad refused to enter the kirk. My father to his great credit in my eyes. Called both his father and father in law bigots.

But you saw fit to make the camel ride at the end of your schooling to St Thomas's.things don't add up

[Bill Sikes]

The biggest question never gets asked :

 

What has it got to do with Football ?

Do me a favour and read again.

[Perth to Paisley]

Don't let this turn into a separate schools discussion. 

 

Bottom line;  we are a football club and not a platform for racist, bigoted or sectarian idiots.

They are 100% not welcome.

 

It's time the club and FoH spoke up.

The respective AGM's would be a good start.

WTF has this got to do with football? I'm an atheist and would gladly vote to end all religious observance in Catholic or non-demonational schools but you and I both know that the bigots who tarnish our club aren't interested in that.
