The Famous

[Hibernia&Alba]

Just call them The Infamous, as I do. Their litany of shame in recent years is some record.

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.

Yes. To be fair the Celtc shop at Glasgow Airport must be a tourist trap to any foreigner wanting to take something footbally away with them even if they (the tourists) have no affiliation with any specific UK team.
There must be a huge untapped market in N. America and Asia. How how about giving Free live HibsTV to a Beijing TV station, or the like?
I'm sure a wee sprat like that would catch a hellava lot of oriental mackerel esp. for merchandise and visitors on holiday here, etc.

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

Great ending tho!

[heidtheba]

To be fair to them, if it's a 'Google War' then they do have a hard name to remember.
I mean, if their owners can't remember the name then why should Google?

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

This will upset a lot of Leithers, as they will tell you that Hibs are not an Edinburgh team, they're "frae Leith"!!!!!

The Yam captain in the book, who gets a crowd of 2k for his testimonial is called Tom Stronach IIRC. See if you can work out the anagram!

Easy. It's the ailment that kept Potter out of the title-winning side at Dens in 1986, isn't it?

Famous indeed and rightly so

For

robbing local businesses
robbing local charities
And many more

Best one and this for all those looking in

THE LADY HAIG POPPY FUND!

So they are indeed entitled to the Famous tag and imho for all the right reasons!

The Famous

Class, look at the spike after the cup win.

[SChibs]

Its cringworthy. A truly famous team shouldn't need to constantly tell people they are famous.

They remind me of a small angry man that nobody likes trying to be heard in a crowd.

[Sammy7nil]

Really don't know where this comes from i have been attending derbies for nearly fifty years and know several Jambos never once heard them referred to as the Famous other than on here. Maybe am deaf

They spike at the publication of their creditors list and lately because the brave experiment is such a twonk. Sounds like a dig, it is, but its also true.

Heard it a few times down the years. It's another comfort blanket I guess. See reference to the yam using it on post 4 above for example.

Whether they are "famous" or not in their own minds it's their recent deeds of infamy that define them for me.

I read a bit by Irvine a few years back saying he the character was such a bad person that he could never have made him a hibs fan, so Hearts it was

Well kent in Scotland for their cheating ways.

Outside of Scotland, I'm afraid very few people are aware of this sorry tale. If they are known for anything at all, it's for their double fail in 1986.

They sometimes feature as an example of 'famous football collapses'.

Of course this might explain the obsession with the 'Hibs'd it' phrase. The maroon club are known bottlers.

A couple of my jambo mates use it non-ironically. It's really bizarre.

My favourite of these hertz phrases is "not in my lifetime" in reference to our cup record. Unlucky lads.

My Jambo nephew uses the 'Famous' term when referring to the Jam Farts. Think it's only since they cheated their way to winning that cup. Funnily enough he hasn't posted much since May last year.

As they've ripped off the 'famous' from our 'Famous Five' we should start calling ourselves 'the terrible' after...maybe not.

It had to happen ..... Latest news from the Yam's new stand thread showing pictures of the outside of our main stand and comparing it unfavourably to what theirs will look like.

Typical Yams, apart from the fact that the front of our main stand is perfectly acceptable, are they too stupid to ask the question: why the hell would you spend a fortune on the aesthetics of a building the front of which cant be seen from anywhere apart from the car park directly outside of it and has no passing through traffic to 'wonder' at it? ...... what a bloody pointless waste of money that would be.

If the Yams are indeed 'famous' then its for the same reasons as Joey Essex is famous

Do you think they realise we have actually built, completed the internal fitting of and paid for ours? right?

If I were them I'd dig out the cardboard boxes full of plans for the megasuperhotelstadium Romanov told them to believe he was building, it sounded very big.

What .... you mean when you build a main stand you have to have the money to fit out the INSIDE as well??? .... Not if the outside looks nice surely

Although there are other examples of curved-glass curtain architecture out there, such as office and leisure spaces, I would certainly say that this design will be unique to Scottish football. It will truly stand out as a modern landmark within the game.

I have no doubt we'll be very proud of it once it's all done.

When this structure is completely finished and ready, it will become the shining light of how our club came back from the absolute brink of going out of existence, to going forward to be one of the top football clubs in Scotland again.
We could never have imagined this happening, when kids were emptying their piggy banks to help keep us alive.

It's not finished pal...

[NAE NOOKIE]

The Yams are doing themselves a disservice ..... apart from having a main stand that will look suspiciously like the outside of the TESCO in Galashiels, from which point of view it will certainly be unique to Scottish football, if not Scottish shopping:




They will also be unique to Scotland's bigger clubs in having corporate facilities that don't actually give a view of the inside of the stadium and a new stand with dozens of seats from which you cant see the whole of the pitch because of the police control box.

Yup ...... unique it is
