Hibernian blade

Last night I went to the Sheffield city hall to see The Proclaimers gig. Now the Sheffield city hall is quite a cultured place to go to. It's a lovely venue decorated out very nicely and they have some very good shows on throughout the year.
I went to the show with three Newcastle fans a Barnsley fan and a Sheffield United fan. I thought it was "good and proper" to attend the gig in my signed Pat Stanton replica shirt and with my nice green tracky top I looked every bit a Hibee.
Halfway through the show I had my attention turned by some scruffy looking bloke (It wasn't P.C. Stamp) gesturing with a "come on" wave. I ignored this and carried on enjoying the show. After Sunshine on Leith had finished I was joined by the Newcastle,Barnsley and Sheff Utd fan in a chorus of Hibees,Hibees. This went down very well and we got the next song dedicated to us by Charlie or Craig (which one's which).
At the end of the gig the scruffy bloke shot over to me and yelled "Are you a Hibee are you a Hibee" (Do they all do double talk) I commented on his immaculate powers of deduction because if it hadn't have been for my Hibs shirt and tracky top most people probably wouldn't have known.
Anyway he went back to the double speak "Im from Leith I'm from Leith , I'm a protestant I'm a protestant" he yelled in my face,his face full of venom.
Well I just burst out laughing of course i'm aware of the religious thing but I am English so Protestant I was christened but like most people I go to church for the usual christenings.weddings and sadly funerals. Religion doesn't come into my brain at anytime let alone football.
I realised now the City Hall was empty apart from myself the yob and the road crew who were dismantling the stage set.Suddenly the yob starts singing some song with hands raised aloud which I am sure was meant to be offensive towards myself,Hibees in general and anyone not a protestant.
I left the building at this time and caught up with my mates,when lado came bounding after me pursued by his missus.Fortunately for him (there were six of us) she got to him and started yelling at him to stop causing trouble then started attacking him with her handbag.
Now we were about five yards away from a small fountain which is protected by a low wall around it but is deeper on the other side. As the jambo ran blindly with his arms raised to protect his head , yes you've guessed it he tripped over the wall and went swimming.
Priceless !!!
Anyone else been accosted in a strange place by a jambo :jamboak:
