I'm not specifically praising HMFC or their fans, purely observing fans as I do at all live sport which I enjoy more than sitting on the couch watching " my EPL" side on the TV etc.
I could go on about how fans show their appreciation at the many events I have attended from Ajax FC, Atalanta FC through to Virginia Tech football ( google their players entrance) and Tampa Bay Lightning ice hockey. They all have their way to inspire their team and I like to see all of them. I enjoy and like some of them and don't like others. As I said, just an opinion but who is right and who is wrong????????????
For someone, who before living here full time, used to travel a 1000 mile round trip to Easter Road twice a month to watch the cabbage I take great offence on you saying " I have so many Negative views " on Hibs. I have just said I watch fans and their actions and songs / anthems.......... I do have a criticism on Sunshine on Leith ( although loving the song) which I have highlighted earlier in that .......in my opinion........it cannot be started and sung during a game by the fans because due to its slow timing it is extremely hard to sing and needs the record to be playing and therefore we only hear it sung prior to a game or after. To me a great anthem needs to be able to be struck up during the game to celebrate or drag the team across the 90 minute line........my opinion. The best example of this is "You'll never walk alone" which now is the domain of 2 clubs in Liverpool FC and Smeltic . However when I was younger supporting my home town team Villa, home and away, nearly all clubs sang it.
At Villa our greatest rivals were , are and always will be Birmingham City, who despite this and I don't mind saying!! have the best football anthem of them all in "Keep Right On to the End Of The Road".....my opinion. This has everything a good football anthem should have and is a great sight and sound when the crowd are in full voice at St Andrews. I suppose by believing this I am deriding and bringing Villa down!!!!!! Incidentally this song was written in 1916 and started to be sung by blues fans in 1956 thanks to their Scottish winger Alex Govan on their path to the FA cup final. Just because a song is old doesn't mean it is past it.
As far as supporters from other clubs coming on here that is fine as this is a general forum of all sports and all are welcome as long as they follow the rules. As a mod, apart from the usual roles I feel I should be fair, trying to encourage as many as possible to enter discussions. If things go beyond this I will step in so will keep an eye on IJs posts as I told you. However if you wish to take over the "mod" role that will be fine by me.
GGTTH if I'm still allowed to put this 0762
