The Famous

[SirDavidsNapper]

We all know this is the name the puddle drinkers refer to themselves as but with all the hits on social media from all over the world and nice comments about Sunshine On Leith by celebrities (Dan Walker today), are Hibs actually the famous Edinburgh club? In my opinion we always have been but don't feel the need to blow our own trumpets!

[Bostonhibby]

We're more well known outside Edinburgh as the Edinburgh football team than the Midlothians are.

Our fame goes beyond the world stage. I seem to recall a BT advert with ET in his Hibs strip. Truly Universal. :0

Had a wee look at their forum for some lunchtime amusement and it didn't take long. They are discussing new players and one of the braindead came out with this;

'Bring in folk now that have actually heard of the famous Heart of Midlothian.

Was it Phil Neville who referred to them as Heart of Midalbion a few weeks back?

Anyway, why would you want to limit your options with such a small list of candidates?

I don't think this is fair.

The hearts support became famous for their behaviour at Hampden when they booed the minute's silence for the pope.

It's distasteful, but I can understand it as the pope has nothing to do with football.

Even Vlad had never heard of them until he came snooping around the Arabs and the Pars.

None of us are 'famous', but we certainly attract a bigger crowd.

[Craig_HFC]

The difference is that they need to continually remind themselves and everyone else that they are indeed 'The Famous'.

We don't.

[CorrieHibs]

All films set in Edinburgh, the characters are hibs fans and TV shows i.e. Looking after Jojo and even Rebus!

Most celebs born in Edinburgh or close by are hibs fans as well.

They can call themselves what they want though.

Delusions of grandeur with that club, as always

Only hearts fan I can think of in a movie is from Irvine Welsh's Filth, where the sick disgusting copper is a hearts fan

That's not fair. You didn't include figures for their world class, internationally renowned anthem, written and recorded by a world famous group who have sold millions of records and who support Hearts, which they all sing communally after important victories to the openly expressed joy of thousands of neutrals.

You know the song, errm, how does it go again?

I mind when Hearts played Liverpool in the UEFA cup and being interviewed after the then Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers, being said 'it's always hard to come to places like...er...here' clearly forgetting the name of the pink toilet if he ever even knew it. He'll know it now though after Hearts lay down to celtc as always to give him his first Scottish title there.

And help them celebrate with a £25 bacon roll

More like Heart of Midtable.

I remember the 2007 cup win YouTube video of sunshine on Leith had 500k+ views but looks like it's been removed.

[GreenLake]

I prefer to call them the famished.

[SRHibs]

If we're being honest it's probably very even. Anecdotally, I've met people abroad who've heard of Hearts and not Hibs, and vice versa. Still think we should be making a much bigger effort to target tourists.

Hearts-fans obsession, their craving, their never-ending yearning for anyone or anything from outside of their own sphere, to even just acknowledge their existence is the ultimate in cringe and embarassment. Despite their true nature being exposed in their 'Creditor's list' (the theft of charity-money being the ultimate sin) they still continue to behave as if their club is a worthy and honourable institution, above all others and comparable to the best - they ignore the fact that there's no difference whatsoever between them and the Hun, on every level they are alike. Both have or have had boards/Owners who like to play 'Fast and loose' with the rules, honesty and integrity and both clubs have an arrogant, ignorant support, artificially inflated by money that they didn't have or wasn't theirs ! Both clubs should save time and money and just amalgamate -

THE HUN OF MIDLOTHIAN !
