My friend and I got set upon by 4 Hobos after the 4-0 derby on New Years Day when Hamilton and Cameron scored. They never really managed to land any punches and we were 17 and pretty useless so it was just some ridiculous, comedy pavement dancing that the coppers broke up after about 10 seconds.

Tazio Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm not into random acts of public violence at all. So when a extremely drunken hobo attempted to nut me in the Rapido chippie I just leant out the way. Unfortunately for him it meant that he headbutted my shoulder, hard. Made quite a satisfying mess of his nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I have a couple of stories from Fester Road. The first one was walking back along Princes Street after the game when Wayne Foster knocked their feckless mob out of the Scottish Cup. I had a grin like a cheshire cat (quite understandably) but was on my own. I passed a group of about 4 guys several years older than me and one of them wanted to have a go - luckily one of them pulled him out, because the odds wouldn't have been good. The ironic thing was I was walking along Princes Street to avoid the trouble since I was on my own. The second incident was after the Stampy game at Fester Road, when we scored two goals in the last ten mins to win the game via McKenna and Stampy having been 1-0 down for most of it. I remember during the game that the hobos were so confident, being 1-0 up and giving us the hand signs, showing their grotty scarfs etc. When Stampy scored the same people disappeared. Anyway, getting back on topic. Walking out of the game up Fester Road, a hobo ran right across the road and smacked a jambo in the face right in front of us and two police officers. I confronted the police officers and asked them what they were going to do about it and they just shrugged their shoulders. It was made clear that if I persisted in complaining it would be me that got lifted. What is the point of football clubs paying for police if they won't do their jobs and arrest people for acts of thuggery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bobby B Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 The same game where Stampy scored the winner, In Bathgate of all places...Two Hobo ***** squared up to my mate and I outside a kebab shop. One of them cracked my mate over the head with a Buckfast bottle. The first hobo couldnt handle my foot rattle across his face and was out cold, then we set about the other guy...The feeling of a hobo's ribs cracking when you volley him in the ribs is amazing, he didnt last long either. :107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

269miles Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I'm no advocate of vi;lence but there is one incident that sticks inmy mins even after 30 years that still makes me smile. At Fester Rd in the mid 70s as a teenage schoolkid with a buch of mates of similar age. This was at a time when footie violence in Edinurgh was bad coupled with a very bad gang scene. While we were blabbing away pre-match we didn't notice the dirtbags who had slinked out of their corner flag ghetto. Suddenly we were surrounded by a large bunch of nutters who were obviously 'YLT' and were looking for some action - not that they were going to get it from 14 year old kids. Then out of the blue a bunch of older guys in their 20s appeared - think it might have been a gang of Jambos from Drylaw. The Hobo lowlife who was picking on me got a tap on the shoulder and as he turned around got a full on head butt. Cue mayhem as we stepped back to enjoy the sight of YLT getting something of a doing. Whoever that guy was has my eternal thanks. The funniest thing I've seen - if you can say that about football violence - was after Hobos had beaten Falkirk at Tynie in a League Cup semi at Tynie in '73. Was standing waiting on a bus at the West End when two nutty Hobos gangs turned on each other and started fighting in the middle of the street. Priceless.

That's what happens when you punch too low down on your fist (4th or 5th knuckles). The shock can quite often break your 5th metacarpal which i've heard can be pretty painful. Apparently, boxers are taught to punch over the 2nd and 3rd knuckles only so that this never happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modo Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Remember after the 2-0 game when Robbo and Jose scored. Was parked at Castle Terrace car park and remember being choked with the cold and my ears being choked up. My mates and me were singing all the way back to the car and were confronted by a vey annoyed Hobo. He was very aggressive, in my face, and was shouting abuse that I couldn't hear properly due to my cold. I sarcastically turned my head and cupped my ear at which point the tool flinched big time as he thought I was going to hook himk, and fell backwards down the stairs at the car park. I believe I accidentally trod on his face when I went down to check on him and pay the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
