Other seasons this strange sectarian knuckle dragging section of their support appears from nowhere and tarnishes the club. Weird thing is that the Union Jackboot sections appearances dont appear to have any link to how the club is performing, I have seen them when Hearts were pish and when the were passable, then they vanish for a few seasons again. A few seasons back they turned up en masse to Rugby Park and took up position dead cetre of the away stand, about 20 minutes in, they launch in to a rousing rendition of Rule Brittania complete with Union Jacks in a scene worthy of last night of the proms. and every Hearts fan around them pelted them with whatever came to hand, an amazing display of paper cup fireworks and exploding Killie Pies. I have always had a lot of respect for the real Jambos after that day. Where does this section of Burberry Britbams come from ? Who are they ? Why do they only appear every few seasons? and are they Chelsea supporters in disguise ? I'll inform the Gorgie Boys to turn up with Scottish Saltires and sing Floo'er oh Scotchland the next time Hearts are down at Rugby Park, hoots min we can all jig away as the game passes us by.

Tram to Murrayfield, double back on yourself to Roseburn then along to the ground from there, probably quicker walking from Haymarket unless there's a tram outside the station waiting on you.

Mr. X Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I can't go tomorrow so giving my season ticket to my son's mate. I would love to say that whenever I miss a home game Hearts seem to play brilliantly and we win at a canter, but the last two home games I've missed we've been well beaten. Thank feck I'm not superstitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reassured me that the bigoted contingent will never become a big enough section to air their views or songs in the way they did that day and tbf it's not happened since. Apart from Hello, Hello which is still bizarrely fair game for otherwise reasonable supporters, that 'vocal bigotry' isn't really evident at games (pretty common in some pubs though), it's the arseholes that bring Union flags and NI flags that make us look like we have some sort of affiliation with Rangers. As for the game I'm hopeful for the sole reason we're at Tynecastle and Kilmarnock looked poor against Aberdeen. The sensible money is on 0-0 if we go 4-6-0 again and Boyd starts for Killie. Considering we actually paid money for Wighton I'll be disappointed if Levein still thinks he isn't ready despite only have one other recognised striker. Glasgow Rangers FC do not hold copyright to the Union Flag (which is the official flag of Northern Ireland also) or the Red Hand of Ulster for which i assume you were meaning originally. It's not a crime to display either of those flags regardless of your opinions on arseholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Roar Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The people who bring those particular flags tend to be arseholes. Nothing wrong in principle with bringing such flags however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sounds a wee bit Celtic in that “ nothing we sing is sectarian” we all know why the flags come out, we all know it’s not against the law as such.

Coooombe Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Any away friendly pubs near Tynecastle? We'd usually go somewhere around Haymarket but reckon it could get busy around there with the rugby being on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I have no problem with the Union flag or the Irish tricolour, but agree that it tends to be arseholes that bring them to football stadiums. A bit like smoke bombs, the more taboo you make the flags, the more they will appeal to daft youngsters who love giving a big f**k you to us old boring fuddy duddies. Someone has to come up with a plan to make the flags very uncool to teenagers and halfwits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if their door policy has changed lately. If I was you I would stick to the usual away pubs, like the Roseburn Tavern and mix with the rugger clientele.
