AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Does anybody recognise anyone in the picture as a Hearts supporter? I hate the idea that any bigotted organisation should use the name 'Heart of Midlothian' and I notice the bass drum doesn't have 'FC' on it. As 'The Heart of Midlothian' is a part of Edinburgh history, outwith Hearts, any Edinburgh based organisation will have the 'right' to use it. I'm sure that if it was a flute band made up solely of Hearts fans we'd have heard about it long before now. If it is not a scam facebook job, then it's pretty certain to be a bunch of Rangers fans, with a sprinkling of our own braindead, who've decided to create a bit of trouble for Hearts and their supporters.

Buffalo Bill Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 It a 'Heart of Midlothian' flute band, not a 'Heart of Midlothian FC' flute band. I'm not connected to flute bands myself or into it in any way but the term 'Heart of Midlothian' isn't exclusive to us. In fact, there were examples of 'Heart of Midlothian' before the football clubs was formed - the prison, the cobble stones, the book and the dance hall. I've seen the word 'Hibernian' or 'Hibernians' on the drums of marching bands too. Nothing to do with Scotland's 10th ranked club either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redm Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 They're marching about the place looking like spankers all dressed in maroon with our club's name (minus the FC bit) on their drums. Some of them are known to be Hearts fans. They chose to march about looking like spankers in the vicinity of our club's home. I'd say it's a pretty fair comment for Hibs fans to be linking them with us....and laughing.... I'm certainly embarrassed, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If supporters of Hearts form a flute band and use the name 'Heart of Midlothian' then that is up to them. If it is against the law go call the cops. If you think its immoral or sad or great then each to their own. It's not my thing personally but we all have our own taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future's Maroon Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 From the HMFB website: The band was originaly formed in the late 70's early 80's but like most other bands fell by the wayside. However as stories of the past reached a new and up and comming young Orange Community, the young loyalists (and some old) of Edinburgh (and after three short meetings) reformed the band on Sunday the 25th July 2009. The name of the band comes from the Heart of Midlothian stones, a memorial just outside the entrance of St Gilles Cathedral on The Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It comemorates an old prison and where all the hangings took place on a daily basis. Although the band is named the Heart of Midlothian we are not a Hearts band, the band has just as many Rangers as Hearts fans but the comon bond is Loyalism in Edinburgh, with band members from the ABOD. The Orange Order and RBP in it's ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory House M.D. Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Personally, i quite enjoy the real Northern Irish marches (my mums mates from there so i've been once or twice) because they actually know what they are marching about... The majority of Scotlands replica's just do it because they "deh lyk Cellick". If they want to march about pretending to be Irish, let them. EDIT: Before anyone starts the bigot patter, I've only been to the marches because said mum's mate is protestant & told us to go along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hibs fans will look for a pretext to hate us or label Hearts fans as this or that. But lets make no mistake about it. The reason they hate us is because year after year, after year, we have absolutely dominated them. We have won all the 'big' derbys, time after time. It hurts like hell. And it shows.

Which all makes it an awkward situation for the rest of the Hearts support, but there's not exactly anything the club can do about it seeing as there is no link between them. Whilst being embarrassing for the football club through simple association, I don't think it's right for anyone to assume that it is in any way representative of our club.

Pom poms, ffs..... Yeah, it's rather pathetic and I can see why people are making links. I was saying that there's not much we can do about it, so we've just got to take it from Hibs fans when it comes to this kind of thing. Whilst these people aren't related to HMFC, it's still a chance for fans of other clubs to throw the loyalist tag at us. We've been saying it's a minority for how long now? It's something we need to shake off, because it might be a small number of fans but I think we've not done enough to stamp it out. Whatever people's views are on this kind of thing doesn't matter to me, people just have to accept that this kind of thing isn't going to be accepted in modern society and they should leave it at the gate when they come to watch us play. It looks like UEFA will be cracking down on anything sectarian, and for a club of our size there will be no place to hide so we've got to crush it before it hurts us.
