Disliked clubs

[Bostonhibby]

Shows you how easy it is to generalise on this type of thread.

I only know 3 Chelsea fans down here. 3 great friends. Two born near Stamford Bridge, all childhood fans- one was a volunteer steward in the days where the ground was half empty. One has absolutely loathed Terry since the Wayne Bridge betrayal.

The last thing I'd call any of them is racist. They all support Hibs up here and two of them have travelled with me loads of times to follow Hibs home and away and have taken the time to learn a bit about Hibs and Scottish football. In fact last season they were at ER more than Stamford Bridge!

Am with you there. No issue with your point of view. Fans were alluded to elsewhere.

Anyone notice a pattern here?

I know what you mean and I laugh as much as any of us when the yams fall on their face. But I don't really dislike them that much. I have too many old friends, some not still with us, who were just like me - supporters of a club who were not part of the sectarian duopoly who, along with the SFA and the Scottish media, have largely destroyed football in Scotland.
I should point out though that I do despise the utter filth who belong to their bokeback website (checked it out once or twice long ago). It seems to be run by a gang of BNP racists and inhabited by their sympathisers and other worms who don't have the guts to stand up to their use of Nazi terminology. There is not a cigarette paper between their attitudes and that of the pathetic Sevco/Rangers morons they seem so desperate to emulate.
However I must say that those clowns have little resemblance to the Hearts fans I worked with and had friendships with over the past 30 years, and who found our rivalry a good source of fun and banter.

In terms of football outside Scotland London clubs irritate me, especially Chelsea.
QPR, Palace, Charlton are ok - this view is largely influenced by decent folks who I've met and who go along every week to support them.

Obviously ManUtd and Liverpool are disgusting corporate monsters, along with the perennial cheats Real Madrid and Barcelona. Anyone who does not support their local team but runs around claiming to be a 'fan' of any of these 'brands' should, IMHO, get therapy to explore the roots of their feelings of inadequacy.

New Rangers - horrible club
Northern Ireland - Full of above fans
Chelsea - same as above and also racist fans
Man Utd - glory hunter fans
Falkirk - pt Rangers fans

You get my commonality here 😁

Don’t have a problem with any other team or clubs. Even Hearts. They are our rivals but decent fans in general.

Also find it funny how some Hibs fans hate the Big 2 in Scotland but then support Liverpool or Man Utd! Don’t get that at all.

I share many of your views but your perspective on NI seems rooted in past sectarian nonsense. There is some interesting recent research on cross-community general public views (survey n.1200 and in-depth interviews 104) of the NI football/soccer team which demonstrates it is the one sporting body which has moved away from sectarianism more than any of the main sports in NI in terms of reconciliation initiatives. I know in this age of post-truth and alternative facts Trump/Farage etc tell us we shouldn't pay attention to expert academic research but it seems rugby comes out as the least entrapped in bigotry and the GAA appears to be the major problem with its ideological/religious baggage.

Have you seen the Tories and other assorted right-wingers on here?

Good point. Sadly we do have fellow travellers who need assistance to see the true path

I suppose if it had an influence when making a decision on a team to support then some left-leaning folk could be attracted by our origins as poor Irish immigrants.

However, I'm sure our owner is a Tory and for all I know so might be our chief executive, but I couldnae give a monkey's one way or t'other as long as they do a great job for Hibs.

Pretty sure STF had declared support for the SNP in the past …. though the party covers a wide range of political views.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Apart from the obvious ones I have little time for Real Madrid …. a few months of their TV channel on freeview gave me the distinct impression there is no club more up itself on the face of the earth, and on a planet that contains Hearts and Celtic that's some feat.

That aside any club that employs Colin Calderwood in ANY capacity.

Regardless of St Pauli, Hibs are the anti-establishment left wing club in Edinburgh.

No we aren’t. Historically we’re the non-establishment team and less staid than the cardigan wearers from Georgie but the club have never been left wing, The whole Celtc left wing thing is a recent affectation and the billionaire Dermot Desmond isn’t what you’d call a commie.

Really dislike Liverpool. Although I hate most of the EPL

Never liked Liverpool either. I think it's the horrible all-red strip that had something to do with it. Never liked Dalglish either for some reason. Very overrated at international level. In Scotland I dislike the present-day version of Rangers more than their original incarnation, especially their pretence that they're still the same club. Like others on here, I'm taking an unexpected pleasure in Dundee United's ongoing woes despite never having had particular issues with them before.

[Mac_17]

Cant stand Rangers, Hearts and Dundee from Scotland

Hate both Manchester teams, Newcastle, Chelsea or Leeds from down south.

That's pretty accurate I would guess … On the political spectrum the only real clue to what we are like as a support would be the fact that the areas of Edinburgh Hibs draw most of their support from tend to vote in labour or lately SNP candidates than many other areas of the city. From that perspective its fair to presume that your average Hibs fan is more likely to be left leaning than your average Jambo is …. but on the other hand the most rabid leftie I know is a fervent Yam

I suppose this thread is a wee barometer too … Its no coincidence that clubs with a well established right wing reputation like The Rangers, Chelsea and Lazio aren't faring too well.

Its not really something Hibs or we as a support really need to get too involved in. Seeing the club and its supporters get behind good social causes like helping the socially disadvantaged or collecting for foodbanks and backing anti racism or homophobia initiatives is about as far as we need to take it .. IE showing we have a good social conscience rather than using the club itself as a vehicle for political causes, we can leave all that affectation to the likes of Celtic.

[Diclonius]

Rangers, Celtic and Hearts in that order.

Don't actively loathe any other clubs, but not particularly fond of "establishment" teams (Madrid, Barca, Man Utd, Bayern, Juventus, Milan) or teams that suddenly became rich and have bought their way to success (Chelsea, PSG, Man City, formerly Anzhi).

He said Edinburgh. And yes, we are regarded as anti establishment club / left wing over Europe. Maybe you don't agree, but it's the way it is.

He has donated to the SNP but not come out in support. Commented about trying to redress the financial imbalance.
