May be turning in to a grumpy old man but I hate it when presenters refer to our game being played at Hibs. Hibs are our nickname not even our proper name far less where we play. Not like Aberdeen, Motherwell, etc.

I prefer us being referred to as "Hibernian" rather than "Hibs", but not bothered about the reference to venue as every club gets that. It's just an abbreviation of a game being played at the ground/stadium of Hibs (or Hibernian).

On a related note, why don't we have an Easter Road smiley?

Hibs isn't our nickname, thats Hibees or the Cabbage. No Hibs is just a shorterned version of Hibernian.
I actually quite like the fact that people refer to us in this was as only a few clubs have this ie - Spurs, Barca ect. For me i always say Hibs, just what i've always done.
It's a bit like being a Billy or a Bob, William or Robert is your Sunday name. Hibernian is ours!
