They were also the subject or included in several social anthropological studies by academia in the UK.

Our report yesterday said trouble flared at the Ibrox Bar - but it was actually in the next street. We are happy to set the record straight. CAPITAL CITY SERVICE
Cumming, Jason; Hamilton, Jane (18 March 2002). "Police set dogs on rioting derby thugs". Edinburgh Evening News . Retrieved 9 July 2011. Andy seems to be proud of what he got up to but fighting at football doesn't make you a hard man in my opinion, he does however seem genuinely sorry for what he put his dad through and his wife Margo too. His marriage and a couple of other relationships broke down because of his need to fight and get the adrenaline rush it brought. Andy Blance is an intelligent erudite guy and could've made so much more of his life he admits that himself so why football hooliganism? The guy's the same age as me and although the halcyon days of scrapping at the game on a Saturday are over now as the police upped their game, I can't help feeling it was a waste of a life and a sad indictment of the 1980's and 90's in Scotland and in particular Edinburgh under Thatcher's Tory government and her particular disdain for Scottish people as a whole. She said: “Until they scrap it, we are going to continue to see these kinds of cases, where people indulging in this kind of mindless behaviour are let off with a slap on the wrist.” The rowdy Hibs mob got blinding drunk, chanted 'CCS' and even convinced Soccer AM co-presenter Helen Chamberlain to show off her rather intimate tattoo. He added: "I was asked if I could 'call-in' the debt. Obviously, we all know what that means. The player was facing a severe doing or even worse. But I refused point blank.The Trouble on the Terraces documentary released in 1994 on VHS format looked at football hooliganism in the UK and on the European continent prior to the Euro 96 tournament. Some Hibs boys were among the interviewees while they were in Amsterdam before the friendly international fixture between the Netherlands and Scotland. [116] Rivers, Dan (2007).

CCS thugs reportedly pushed the drugs on the terraces to fans, and police said several casuals had been prosecuted for dealing. Murray, Kevin (27 June 2010). "Casuals planning Dutch violence?". Vital Football.co.uk. Archived from the original on 30 March 2012 . Retrieved 11 August 2011. The Scots actor-writer Ruaraidh Murray based his one-man show Big Sean, Mikey and me around his life in Edinburgh during the 1980s and 1990s, his close friendship with a renowned Hibs casual and includes their encounters with other casual gangs. He first performed this at the Gilded Balloon during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe of 2012 and is currently adapting the stage script of it for a radio and film production.

Off it however, a certain section of the Easter Road support were busy transforming themselves from a small hooligan element to the most feared casual gang in the UK. The hibs support themselves at that time had no spine and were just grateful that they had a hooligan mob that stopped them from getting grief from Hearts, Rangers and Celtic fans. I followed Hearts from 83-89 and never ran into the CCS at Easter Rd, maybe they jumped Hearts fans in the city centre. But Hearts used to take over 10,000 fans to easter Rd, Hibs support at Tynescastle was a disgrace, to the point where in 89 I think Hearts split the gorgie rd end to allow more Hearts fans in.
