Got this from a felow Hibby with too much time on his hands
- imagine not scoring a league derby goal between 1968 and 1973
- imagine losing one of the derbies by seven goals
- imagine that that match was at home
- imagine that that match was also played on New Year's Day
- imagine only winning two derbies in fifteen years, from 1968 - 1983
- imagine being relegated three times in five years
- imagine Peter Shields
- imagine taking two years to be promoted from the First Division
- imagine Francis Liddell
- imagine your famous literary supporter suggesting your ground would more appropriately be converted into a car park
- imagine being minutes from administration
- imagine revering Wallace Mercer
- imagine McDonald and Jardine (who couldn't go wrong)
- imagine 17,000 fans on a jamboree and what could go wrong?
- imagine wearing a silver strip for silverware
- imagine a Bobby Ball lookalike in tight shorts making a sub's appearance with less than twenty minutes to go
- imagine him scoring
- imagine him scoring again
- imagine both those goals happening with only seven minutes to go
- imagine how it wouldn't have mattered one Wester Hailes head-butt if St Mirren hadn't capitulated at Love Street the very same afternoon
- imagine 17,000 fans on a jamboree and what could go wrong?
- imagine 3,000 'Wee Team' supporters watching their side, predictably, lose at home chanting, ironically, 'we're gonnae win **ck all' as the tranny transfers your misery
- imagine 17,000 fans on a jamboree and what could go wrong?
- imagine 45,000 swapping Gorgie's grim ghetto for that of Glasgow
- imagine wearing a silver strip for silverware
- imagine it couldn't happen again, could it?
- imagine John Hewitt after 5 minutes
- imagine John Hewitt again
- imagine Billy Stark
- imagine it couldn't happen again, could it?
- imagine Walter 'Zico' Kidd getting sent off, the first captain to suffer that ignominy in a cup final
- imagine it couldn't happen again, could it?
- imagine Joy Division Colquhoun's greeting puss
- imagine it couldn't happen again, could it?
- imagine John Robertson's greeting puss
- imagine regularly gaining odd goal victories or undeserved draws with your local rivals, but not making any significant challenge for trophies
- imagine regularly qualifying for Europe, but never even making a semi-final
- imagine signing Shug Burns
- imagine throwing bananas at Mark Walters
- imagine being left behind when football hooliganism went casual and several well-known hertz supporting hoolies turning out in the Stone Island uniform of the CCS instead
- imagine changing your strips once a year, long before it became widely prevalent
- imagine your chairman wasting money he could have used to develop your team or your ground on a ridiculous media trip
- imagine being stupid enough to defend him
- imagine how stupid you felt less than 18 months later when the much-maligned 'Wee Team' won a trophy, while your then drought celebrated its 29th birthday
- imagine losing the last derby of the century and not one of you remaining at full-time
- imagine selling the family silver to finally win some silverware
- imagine trying to justify why you think the easier-to-win Scottish Cup really is more important than the harder-to-win League Cup
- imagine selling thousands of tickets for important cup matches in the latter each season, yet still trying to say you don't care
- imagine that, of course, you do, of course, you'd love to see that cup, any cup, on an open-top bus parade
- imagine pretending you're a 'big' team
- imagine only averaging 1,500 more per home game than a 'Wee Team'
- imagine two teams from another city - 60 miles - away, having shops in your city's central business district
- imagine that the fact you've got a wee shop in the St James Centre makes it alright
- imagine the best chance of a non-OF club winning the league in a generation and sacking him
- imagine the cast of Gorky Park running your club
- imagine extras from Gorky Park playing for your club
- imgine 'believing' any utterance from the lips of Vladimir Romanov
- imagine Russian wolf hats
- imagine Union Jacks
- imagine Red Hand of Ulsters
- imagine the footballing Gary Glitter being made your manager
- imagine the bald, likeable guy off Scotsport (who once relegated Hibs) being made his number 2
- imagine failing to sell even half your tickets when you thought you'd lose at Easter Road
- imagine conceding six goals
- imagine failing to sell even half your tickets when you'd thought you'd lose at Easter Road again
- imagine conceding a goal after only 29 seconds
- imagine having only won 3 more league derbies than your rivals since August 1994, but still boasting about 'traditional superiority'
- imagine losing 1-0 to Hibs reserves
- imagine the winner was scored by 'Rat-Boy' Riordan
- imagine one of your wannabe CSF bams fi Fife trying to attack him and getting a second prize
- imagine Marshall's Chunky Chickens
- imagine George Foulkes as your people's champion
- imagine Gary Mackay's ugly pus
- imagine Gary Mackay laughing at Mickey Weir two years ago when Hibs drew Rangers in the Scottish Cup, live on BBC Scotland
- imagine Gary Mackay's tempting-fate-prayer in the Evening News a few weeks ago that 'this might be Hibs season'
- imagine how low and empty you would feel if the 'Wee Team' did actually win the 'Big Cup'
- imagine crying
- imagine being a Jambo
