Derby K.O Time? ..confirmed 12.30 ko (merged)

[murray26]

It would seem there is no live English football on the 1st of May, with the Bairns v St Mirren on the telly at 12 i think, that leaves the 5.15 ESPN Slot available, this is just me speculating ofcourse, i was just wondering if the delay in confirming the time is the T.V trying to convince the Edinburgh polis this is a good idea, anyone heard anything?.

[HibeeMcGinn1]

I would love that if it were to happen but I cant see it. The idea of Hibs and Hearts fans drinking in the town all day and lots of pubs showing the match plus opening from 9/10/11am would not go down well with Lothian&Borders. Cant see it.

I seem to remember a derby maybe 8/9 years ago at ER that was a 5.35 k.o on a Saturday, cant remember any trouble that night.

[Bayern Bru]

It almost seems likely that they'll swap the times with us at midday and the Bairns/Buddies at 5.15pm.

That's one possibility I suppose, I guess they might shuffle all the fixtures still.

[Ritchie]

Just realised I'm in London that weekend :-(

[DarlingtonHibee]

Hopefully not, i'm keeping my fingers crossed for a evening k.o, a good afternoon bevvy then off to the derby sounds fantastic.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Change the time to 5.15pm :wink:

NOOOOOOOO. I'm fed up with sunday games. Nothing worse than going to a big game rough as :grr:

[Hamish]

Its the Rugby League boys remember, they are good lads in general - a bit different from the kilt, suede boots and strip mob from the Union game

[Lofarl]

Dont finish work till one on Saturdays so evening or Sundays would be mint.

Never came across the 'Rugby League Boys.' I'm sure they cannae be any worse than the rugby lot from Haddy.

[Hamish]

League is the working mans game in Lancashire/Yorkshire. The guys and girls who come up for the weekend are knowledgable and friendly

Thats the penultimate week in the EPL so there will definitely be games scheduled for 12.45 and 17.30 for TV.

[Gettin' Auld]

Change the time to 5.15pm :wink:

Oh dear Sean, with a mouth like that I think you will find yourself in a bit of bother if you start saying that around the West End :yawn:

Perhaps I should've said 'every one I KNOW is a fud'

Believe me, Haddy on a saturday is over-populated with loud-mouth rugby snobs.

There is no live games on the Saturday, end off, its bank holiday Monday and theres live games then, thats probaly the reason, i really hope its not early Sunday, its killing football.

[Judas Iscariot]

Is that you Hamish?

I'd say his username could be a giveaway :greengrin

[HH81]

Wish they would hurry up and announce it as I have tickets and need to book travel :grr::grr:

Careful about what you mean by "rugby" though I agree with you. Rugby League fans are fine actually and no problem with them, while rugby union supporters (particularly Scottish ones but closely followed by the Irish, Engilsh and French) are filth of the earth though.

Plus could be an opportunity to persuade some of them along to ER if club came up with some imaginative ideas - would help if we could actually get time confirmed though.

[Joe Baker II]

I seem to remember a derby maybe 8/9 years ago at ER that was a 5.35 k.o on a Saturday, cant remember any trouble that night.

March 2001-02 I think, time was definitely 535 and there was no major trouble, think we lost 2-1.

[JimBHibees]

Can also remember Mixu's late humiliating pen was a night game also

As much as I find the sport horrendously boring, to call the fans "filth of the Earth" is way OTT.

How often do you see bother at a rugby game? Plenty at football games.

Yes they might be loud mouthed, annoying, pompous snobs, but they are pretty harmless.

Couldnt agree more pretty rich football fans giving supporters of another sport that description. Have been to a few rugby internationals and have seen nothing that would merit that description at all. The fans are mixed in and cover a wide range of ages including young and old. Usually good banter and have witnessed nothing that could be seen as anything more than that.

[greenlex]

Was a certain 6-2 game not an evening kick off? No trouble there. Not even on the field. :greengrin

I don't like Rugby at all, but I have friends who are Rugby union fans and I can say that they are not "filth of the earth" as you put it.

You could try saying that to a few of them and see what happens.

[Frazerbob]

Been to many a rugby match and played the game for years. Whilst some of the "rugby banter" can be a bit dubious, I can honestly say that I have never seen anything that comes close to some of the antics and disgusting behaviour I witnessed before and during the last Derby at Tynie (and that was an early kick off). If that was anything to go by, I hope we continue with the early kick offs.

[Danderhall Hibs]

March 2001-02 I think, time was definitely 535 and there was no major trouble, think we lost 2-1.

There was a 1-1 a few years back on a Saturday tea-time - Pressley scored a penalty to equalise.

Being **** of the earth I played rugby in the afternoon and went straight to ER. The football was secondary I was just there for a pagger and a bevvy - you know what rugby types are like.

[Leith Green]

This was a 2-1 defeat wasnt it?? Pressley scored a last minute penalty winner if memory serves me correctly..

This was the same day the Iona,Royal Nip were smashed up, and there was major trouble outside the Hopetoun bar

[Danderhall Hibs]

Was it? Must be blanking it out if it was! It would've been March/April time probably 2001 or 2002?

[LancashireHibby]

Originally wanted the Saturday, but having thought about it, an early Sunday kick off would suit me and then I can hop over to Murrayfield to catch the last two games of the Magic Weekend.

[Leith Green]

Not sure of exact date but it was tail end of the 2001/2002 season mate, so March/April is a pretty good shout, but definetly we lost cos I remember going to the pub after the match and taking the usual flak fi my jambo mates.. and if im not wrong then I can remember us all back in the boozer the next day (sunday) still up from the night before watching the Rangers vs Ayr United CIS final on the sunday!!

Matt,

Slightly off topic but do you know the ref from Leigh that does National League games and did the Tolouse V Keighley game last month?

He was saying he knew you and was from Leigh :thumbsup:

Think I might pop along to the rugby too if it works out to be a Sunday too!

[Frazerbob]

Why have they not announced the details of this match? Surely they've had enough time to make a few calls by now. Some of us have to arrange time off work, book trains etc.

If it's not a big enough farce that the final 5 games are kept a secret from us all until the week before now, when the games are announced they can't tell us the kick off time or if the game will even take place on the Staurday.

For once I agree with Rangers, get the split tae ****!

[Joe Baker II]

This was the same day the Iona, Royal Nip were smashed up, and there was major trouble outside the Hopetoun bar

Was that not the Sunday game where Paatelanien missed penalty when Hopetoun had trouble - could be wrong though.

Plus Hearts fans bus was attacked outside Royal Nip recently at a normal kick off time last season so not sure it was related to the kick off time.

No it was definetly this game, I know that for a 100 per cent definite fact.. I'm not saying it was related to the kick off time, i was responding to a post that said there was no major trouble at that derby game, when in fact the total opposite is the case.. Doesnt bother me, early kick off or late kick off , trouble or no trouble ... Whatever goes mate

Have made that point regularly to rugby union fans, some listen others do not.

With regard to behaviour, there is entrenched culture in Edinburgh that the same type of drunkenness that would get football fans into trouble for much less is tolerated by police for Scotland rugby union supporters because of its synonymousness with anglicisation in Edinburgh and fact it is generally public school people who watch - atmosphere of looking after their own then kicks in. They then justify themselves and then defend it by saying rugby union supporters are better behaved and quote number of arrests as defence for their treatment of football supporters although they are never treated with same criteria.

Therefore anyone who chooses to subscribe to this by supporting rugby union in Edinburgh is guilty by association and deserves contempt.

Stress that many rugby league supporters hate rugby union even more than the average Scottish football fan, and they are very welcome in Edinburgh (I am actually tempted to go, just do not want to give SRU money, even indirectly).

Yeah I know Warren, he was at the same high school as me, albeit 2-3 years below me. Bizarrely, he's the referee for the Leigh game in France this weekend and is travelling by coach with the Leigh team - was planning on being there myself but it's looking like my flight will be cancelled :boo hoo:
