    When you can remember them singing "since 1902"



    Actually I miss it a bit as one of my best memories of 21/05/16 is later that night and the whole pub singing "we've not won the big cup since quarter to 5"

    Oh yes I remember that. Lost on goal average so the league changed the rule so that in '86 it was goal difference that counted. Pity because if the rule had stayed the same they would have won the league on goal average.

    I'd been hoping for "since 16.52" but I was a lone voice in a sea of "since quarter to 5's". Still it was spontaneous

    A particularly pleasing thread on Kickback is discussing their songs for the derby, as Billy Brown would say, they're struggling

    All teams played in black and white, and the refs were still good enough to tell them apart.

    Dude, I am definitely feeling old. But I wasn't born when Hearts last won the League Cup. I was however in the womb when Hibs beat Celtic 2-1 in that competition, and similarly situated in January 1973. I take some pride in celebrating some fine victories pre-natally...

    If you've seen Hibs win the Scottish cup twice...


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    When you meet up with old friends for your annual pre Christmas drinking session and you talk about what you used to drink and get up to when you were young.

    When you remember going to tynecastle for the new year derby in sub zero temperatures, but being absolutely roasting because you were bouncing around like a lunatic in the middle of 10000 hibs fans.
