It doesn't really bother me to be honest.
I get far more pissed off with OF supporters from parts of Scotland as far away from Glasgow as you can possibly get. I used to live in Aberdeen where the buses used to pick people up to take them off to see Celtic or Rangers, while Pittodrie would be half empty.

I don`t give a flying one about any english team or any other team on the planet other than Hibs. I have never understood why anyone would care about any other club,other than their own. As far as I`m concerned you can only support one club and find it a bit odd that people can support multiple clubs.

Watching english football as a neutral is far more enjoyable than I think it would be if watching it as the supporter of any team.

Not that I have to explain myself but its simple
I lived in the day of Best, Law and Charlton (exciting just to say those names)
I also lived in the day when there was almost no footie on TV and having an English team to watch on MOTD made sense. Still does. Watching games that have no bearing on yourself loses tension etc. I loath Italian football as I cannot get interested in any team. Man United always had a panache to them even when they were poor. And they had Munich. At the time Arsenal were boring, Leeds were thugs, and only Liverpool had any class to them.
As for glory hunting. I can assure you there was damned little Glory post the 60s. Despite that Man United were (and still are) the best supprted team in the UK. Even the 70s they were tops, the season they were relegated and the season in the lower division. Higher than Liverpool who were riding high at that point. United have something you either love or loath, but that applies to many clubs.
Yes I understand that a lot of people hate Man United but it verges on irrational most of the time. If you were a Liverpool fan then fair enough but a Hibs fan ???? I hate the OF but I have seen them up close too many times. I have been to loads of Scottish games where Hibs were not involved and I did not feel like a traitor. Going to see Man United (as with all the really big clubs) is a different level. You cannot sit with 10k fans watching third rate players in a game that means almost nothing, with no quality and think its not different. I have supported Hibs all my life and as the wife will tell you every saturday we lose its Castle Gloom in our house. Most of the time its not football its emotional purgatory.
Oh and if you think the 'we hate United' thing worries us then you are way out. Fergie has built his team ethos on it. He is still playing on it to this day. And whatever you say, its hard to disregard the success, the quality of play and players United have had. Yes there is arrogance at United but winners are. . Ever spoken to a Real Madrid fan? Are there glory hunters in the ranks - of course but that is true of almost every big club (except City)
I finish on saying this post is a waste of time as you have made up your mind and are not really listening but sit in your little hole of prejudice. If your theory applies to United then it must also apply in at least some part to everyone who has a team beyond Hibs. No, its just United that are the devil in carnate
Yadda yadda yadda. Go on, do the Cockney Manchester thing, you know you want to. Anyway, must pop down the apples and pears and have my tea.
Glory Glory (works for both see)

You ask people to justify why they are fans of Manchester United just because you can't stand them? And also inferring in your thread title that you cannot be a decent Hibs fan if you do follow Manchester United.
Deary me.

Surely 'real' fans wouldn't follow any sheep-****gin' Welsh outfit?

My lads got a Man U season ticket as well as a Hibs one, cost £650. seat around the half way line and gets a Man U supporters bus from Dreghorn for £15 return. If you could afford it whether it's Man u/ Liverpool/ Spurs would you not think about it.

I don't support man united as I have never given them a penny in my life. However I do like to see them do well and prefer them to any of the other big clubs in England.
The reason for this is simple - the Scottish connection through Fletch and Fergie. I always like to see teams with a Scottish player or two doing well as it's good for the national team.
Fletch has been established in the team for a long time now so I've started to get fond of the whole team as I've rooted for them to do well for a while.
Do I get upset when they lose, no. Am i happy when they score, yes. Do I cheer, not usually unless it is fletcher.
Ps - I do hate Liverpool thoughLast edited by Hibstrooper; 17-03-2011 at 09:16 PM.
