    Which Civil War?

    They'd have been 230 years too late for the English Civil War, and 9 years too late for the American one.

    Maybe there was one going on in South America somewhere?

    They are like pub bores.

    It`s like if one club has one member of staff on the Sex Offenders Register, they will invariably have had two. Oh wait......
    Did you know they only nicked the poppy money and "rested" the Macraes Batallion Trust money in their account because they heard that a Hibby once liberated a pen out of a bookies? Big team and all that..............

    "I did not need any persuasion to play for such a great club, the Hibs result is still one of the first I look for"

    I think St Andrews and the Swifts came together in 1874 to become Heart of Midlothian.

    Could be crap but there we are.

    Who were their real rivals between 1874 and 1888 when Celtic came along?

    Where they a big team in 1874?

    Did they have any special relationships in this formative year?

    Who thought maroon would make a decent colour for anything?

    I think we should be told.

    dancers and chancers combined, to become the entity that existed until last year. they somehow squirmed out of some dodgy situations, to retain the original name of homfc, unlike the glasow team in a similar situation who had to at "the" as a prefix to their original name.

    cant argue. you are probably correct. I do wish that our club Hibernian would mention the correct situation then, about their club when it comes to listing honours, existence, etc on any match programmes against them. they absolutely love to do it, when they produce a derby match programmer, about our season out of sorts. c'mon Hibernian fc. get the facts, mention it to all.

    'Maroons' was a name attached to runaway slaves in North and Central America.


    ' "from the American Spanish word cimarrón: "feral animal, fugitive, runaway" '
    Maroons


    Just thought I'd mention it.

    Copies of the Edinburgh Courant , a local newspaper of the 1800's , are available for reading at Edinburgh Room of the Central Library on George IV Bridge.

    Get the copies out for 1874 and see if Heart of Midlothian get a mention in connection with football.

    If they are not there, try the Courts Debtors List.

    Just think, they could've been known as Hot Gossip if only they'd waited a few years.

    Maybe it's the articles that appeared around their 50th anniversary. Their 1st Captain Tom Purdie (?) then claimed in articles that they dated from 1874. Or they just plucked that date from thin for some reason.

    I read after a Hearts side had held Hibernian to a draw, Purdie refused to play extra time to decide the winner and took his players off. This caused a near riot and Purdie was kicked up the bum for his troubles by a spectator. A man named O'Reilly was arrested at the scene!

    Hearts initially ceased to be in 1876 (http://londonhearts.com/scores/image...1876093004.htm) and then again in April 1905. they were incorporated as Heart of Midlothian Football Club in 1903 only be dissolved in 1905 with debts of £1450 and reincorporated a few weeks later as "The" Heart of Midlothian Football Club (seriously). All debts of the old company were paid in full.
