Guest S.U.S.S. Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Will you sing the sanitised version? (hibees blood) Not looking for a debate on which version etc. Simply the hibees blood version. If enough sing loud enough any other version would be drowned out.

Cant see how they can ban a tune! of course in saying that we are talking about the SPL GFA etc who have no concept of the real world. Killie have a version they sing so think it may only be the fenian part that is banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanepaille Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Realy cant understand why we wouldnt sing it....it has been being sung for many a year from the Hearts fans and we should continue to do so. Whats the problem with singing it realy ??? Its probably the loudest the Hearts fans are when we do sing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsnomarooned Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Isn't the point here that, irrespective of what words may be sung, the song has a connotation with sectarianism and is therefore deemed as inappropriate.

Rods Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Kilmarnock are not the only ones that sing it There are now plent of EPL clubs that sing there own version now. Pompey fans where singing it in portugal. It should be sung(obviously hibbees blood version) as a matter of principal. I just feel we have been singled out. On this song. If a minority want to sing the other version then they should be singled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the song actually ever makes it to that line people generally sing fenian and not hibee blood. You can guarantee if the song is sung on Sunday it will definitly be Fenian blood and not Hibee blood because there is an element of fans who tend to turn up at Easter Road who are pretty much never at any other game because they like the whole secretarian thing. Thye enjoy waving their union jacks for whatever reason. Also because "fenians" don't like being referred to as "fenians". Or I know I don't. But anyway before this thread becomes another discussion about religion/secretariansm I won't be singing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee reported it at the Motherwell game. The SPL confirmed they would take no action. UEFA also reported that they would be 'banning' this song. They canned this after realising just how many clubs sing it. They confirmed they would leave it to the member nations Football Associations to decide. So the SPL, SFA and UEFA certainly have no problem with it. The hobos have no problem with it. In fact I have never even met a Tim who is bothered by it. The song was even on the Official HMFC CD about 4 years ago. As far as I can see the only people who have a problem with it are a very small number of Hearts fans. Anyway I won't be singing it as I am not going next week !! Part time fan central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is normally more instances of a certain type of behaviour at ER but the "guilty" parties on the whole are among out best supporters and create the atmosphere There also the first ones you see at most reserve games Its frankly ludicrous that some of our best fans are abused on here by certain types of people for singing hullo hullo without these people our club would have a totally awful support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboSean Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 As far as I'm aware it's been sung at every away match so far, so I'd imagine it will be belted out at Easter Road.

Victorian Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 it's without doubt (and i wont be supplying survey data to support this) the best 'song' to really get the fans going and create a great atmosphere. it creates (and i am not basing this further opinion on statistical evidence) the loudest singing and seems to get the whole support going. at least it was... i'm all for the song being given a revival, but obviously it has to be the perceived PC version. not for any particular reason which involves conforming to a zero tolerance on sectarian singing because far far worse can be heard at every single OF away math, the reason hearts must stick to the sanitised version is that we would be clamped down on for singing the original version... hard. we are an easy target which would come in very handy for a petrified SFA who can't stomach the fallout they would get if they tackled the real problems in scottish football. if it could be brought back... 'safely'... it would be great for the atmosphere at tynie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 It`s probably the only time during the season you`ll not hear booing in the Hearts end. Overall i just hope we all go and make a good atmosphere as we usually do at Fester. It`s too early in the season to be down because of a couple of bad results.
