SUPPORTER CONDUCT – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

By Hibernian FC

Share

 

Hibernian FC condemns the abhorrent behaviour and chanting made by some supporters in Scottish football.

Over recent years supporters’ unacceptable conduct has become rife in Scotland whether that be through the use of pyrotechnics, sectarianism, objects being thrown onto the field of play or through other actions. This is simply not good enough.

Understanding that the behaviour of certain sections of Hibernian FC’s own support has not been good enough at times this season, the Club has been taking the strongest possible action against those who behave in an unacceptable manner, working with Police Scotland and colleagues at other clubs.

Hibernian FC now implores other clubs to act in a similar fashion and the governing bodies to take serious consideration into the issues to ensure Scottish football is safe and welcoming for all.

Following fan behaviour and chanting from opposing teams this season, the Club’s Board of Directors will be reducing the away allocation at Easter Road moving forward, alongside taking further actions.

Football is a sport for all, and stadiums should be a place where families and friends can come together to support their team. Hibernian FC prides itself on being a club for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, colour, gender, religion, creed, and sexual orientation. Everyone should be able to feel safe and comfortable attending a football match.

I miss the atmosphere at away games but sleep soundly in the knowledge I no longer fund any of these scummy clubs (haven't done since we came back up).  

 

Our support have so much power but we'll never use it.

They don't need the blue pound any more now they are Bournemouth's feeder club.

I don't have a problem with their statement. It's been an age since I've been to a match, but I wouldn't want to be taking my kids to one. Too many idiots about. I dunno why people have a fixation on keeping up all the aggressive or offensive bollocks personally.

Agree with PoohBear, far too much shit being sung by all clubs fanbase.

singing "glory glory what a hell of a way to die" the other night when a player was in serious distress i found most disgusting.

Hibs have a cheek to complain with the way the kettle away supporters and delay entrance to Easter road.   There’s a serious accident waiting to happen there.   I’m only surprised it hasn’t already happened.

I didn't hear that.  Someone from the club needs to have a word about that.  As for the rest of it, some of the songs do need to stop but the hypocrisy of Hibs makes it sound like sour grapes.  Throwing obstacles, including a sharp knife, on to the pitch is reprehensible.  I said the same about the idiot who threw the glass from the Copland.  As for scribbling 66 on all the seats, that is worse than a hurty song.

The Rangers travelling support should take careful note of the Hibs statement.

 

We can indulge in whataboutery because hypocrisy drips from the Hibees travelling support but, it will NOT help. The Scottish Government are determined to push their 'Hate Crime' policy through Holyrood and they are looking for a specific to aid the process. As a club, Hibs enjoy a raft of both political and social influence. Ian Blackford, Peter Murrell, Kenny Macaskill, ....... etc are all Hibees.

 

There is not a single elected representative in either the SNP or the Green Party will admit to supporting Rangers. Our club is not the establishment club in this country and has not been for in excess of half a century. I will remind you of Humza's determination to see club and players punished for a clearly doctored video of supposed sectarian singing within the Blue Room.

 

The initial consequence will be a cut in the Rangers allocation. The long term effects will be harder to bear, we are already on FARE's hate list and they have considerable influence within UEFA. Rangers do not have the excuse regularly awarded to other clubs ie 'cheeky rivalry'.

[Bill 13,717]

My instinct is that people should be free to be offensive if they so wish and those who are intent on being offended should grow up. However, given the deeply held animosity towards Rangers throughout the political and judicial world, I think this is a tide we can no longer swim against without risking considerable harm to our club.

 

That said, our enemies will always find a reason to call for sanctions against us. Where reasons don't exist, they will simply create them. There's no escaping the hatred and envy.
