King of the North Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just what we need. The world is fecked. Our club is fecked. What could improve things - how about a public degradation on live TV? Doesn't matter what words we sing - this is a hun song. We shouldn't sing it. We are so much better that that - we also have hundreds of fantastic songs we could sing. If you want to humiliate and embarrass our club, and confirm to the rest of Scotland that we are a bunch of huns without a bus fare, go ahead. Real fans? my erse. Doesn't matter that we used to sing it - times move on. Doesn't matter if we change some words - it's a filthy hun tune, and too many people already think of us as mini huns. Doesn't matter. Do us all a favour. If you care about this club, it's image, and the very real possibility that we will be the first to get hammered by the GFA - do not sing this hun song. Think for a moment about what you are doing. Singing this does not make you a crusader for free speech - it makes you a hun without the bus fare. As Edinburgh boys we should all be able to rise above OF pesh - this song belongs in the past. Leave it there and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makateer Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 point being - if it was good enough then, then why not now? Like someone also said, loads of other teams sing songs to other tunes. Also what is it about it that is offensive to you? It's a Rangers song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDonald Jardine 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. Why can't we just accept that and sing something else? By who? The sensitive souls in our own support that's who. 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. If we score first it will definately be sung.I have a question though, of the people who said they wouldn't sing it, will you actually be at the game? Would any one like to answer this?

ToadKiller Dog Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Seems like some hearts fans just want to sing that dity to get up the noses of fellow hearts fans judging by most of the comments which to me points to some real stupidness,I dont see the point of the dity any more . My question to those who want to sing it why do you never sing it at tynie anymore ? And yes i will be at the game and will leave the game as always with no voice left and in need of beer.

aitcheeayartees Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I have always supported hearts, I was brought up a catholic. I have always heard this song all my days following hearts. At times it has been the song which has really brought the fans to their feet and helped create a great atmosphere. Although it doesnt personally offend me...... I often wondered why you would want to be up to your knees in anybodys blood for that matter and how that would even be remotely related to football? (By the way, which conitation of "fenian" is it aimed at and why?) I suppose i just dont like the fact it was adopted from those pond life, bottom feeders at ibrox!

Jambomo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 TBH the reason I don't like the song is that now I associate it with Rangers and I certainly don't want Hearts or it's fans to be associated with Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboy81 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 People aren't smart enough to change the words, or word, and as soon as you start singing it you'll get shouted down. I've made the point before that it's not the song that's banned it's the f word... still couldn't get my point accross! It's a shame as nothing comes close to the noise level achieved by the first 2 lines of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem very certain of this. I would love to know why. There have been many a 'bullet' fired at many games. I think the authorities realise these are part and parcel of the game.

Rick Grimes Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 singing the "acceptable" version of this song still makes it more likely that a minority will indulge in the sectarian version which is rightly reviled by almost all of our support. even if its just a few who do then its damaging to our club. so why all the support for a song? it has the potential to damage the club so why risk it? surely we can all agree that the most important thing is Hearts? or is singing a song with a pretty crappy history more important to some here?

UEFA are alerted to the issue now & the SFA will eventually have to play ball. hell, even David Murray is worried enough to finally have a go at his own support. if there's a chance to stick it to someone other the OF i reckon the SFA would take it and proclaim it as their example. now, again - why take the risk, even if its a miniscule one? are you arguing that the Hearts support is incapable of rousing itself without this particular ditty? its not even that good a song, just one with too many rangers connotations. and it doesn't wind the hobos up either, it just allows them to be convinced we are all mini-huns. it actually plays into their hands and probably rouses them more. still, its traditional, eh?
