Very good, the feeling isn't mutual. :aok:

Absolutely cannot stand Celtc. The smug faux moral superiority coming from the fans, their political posturing and their huge sense of entitlement are odious. At least fans of The Rangers don't pretend to be anything but what they are.

The Ugly Sisters share equal responsibility for the wrecked and rigged state of Scottish Football. A mutually arranged stitch up to suit themselves at the expense of every other club.

And after decades and decades of mainlining on the sectarian division they so happily benefited from we've ended up with a game that is a one-and-a-half party state in which both of these grotesquely inflated clubs now want to complain that the competition isn't strong enough for them.

Don't tell us who we hate or don't hate. The day I welcome being patronised by Celtc supporters is the day I give up on football.

This. We aren't celtics "friends" and i hate being patronised by them. We share a similar history but thankfully hibs have moved away from the bigotry that many celtic fans still indulge in. Celtic fans seem to see themselves as the good guys and can't understand why everybody doesn't love them and admire them.

Out of both celtic and the huns, celtic are ever so very slightly the lesser of two evils in my view but I still can't stand them and hate how they patronise us and the arse sooking.

Ok man I don't really understand your position but that's cool I. Not patronising you I just generally like your club. As for saying don't tell you who you hate or don't, I wasn't I thought it was just common knowledge you hated hearts and the fact there's a sevco thread on this very forum you hated them to.

[Davy Mac]

Dunno if I share the same some of the anti-celts responses.

Hibs is my team BUT Celtic would not be my other team as I don't have any attachment with them at all, although family wise, half of my family are from Glasgow, Ayrshire, Wishy etc.

I don't see this is patronising at all, in fact I think it's quite interesting that some of the Sellick fans feel the need for a love in with the Hibs, some of the older netters will remember that at one time, the Hibs support and sympathisers from the west was strong and that still exists today albeit with a more Celtic leaning due to the success and all.

But fxxx religion, fxxx what some of the Celtic fans stand for, but appreciate that Hibs are, without doubt everyone's other club as we are true to ourselves and behave in the right manner.

I personally have no issue with any Celtic fans or any other fans coming on here on expressing their opinions, good for you and you're always welcome.

We are above all the hatred that's within the game and we are the better man, team and club. GGTTH

I can understand both points of view. On one hand, it's nice to see fans of other clubs appreciating the club that we love. On the other hand, I'm sure we all know Celtic fans in day to day life that come across as patronising and give it the old 'wee cousins' patter.

Understand that I was honestly not being patronising at all. I've never considered the wee cousin thing. ( do I want hibs to beat Hearts of course but I hate hearts, do I want hibs to beat rangers yes but no more than any other team)

Sorry fella, I have to disagree - look at the bigger picture, do you honestly think most Celtic fans give a stuff about us? Nah.

But there are many Celtic fans who are bored to death wi the same old propoganda glegae pash and desperate to follow a team that they can connect with.

Come forward Hibernian.

IMO it's not patronising, we are an old fashioned club with strong values and beliefs, SOL connects with real fitba fans and anyhoos, our club is richer in history and romance that only other team fans can dream about.

GGTTH - the door is always open.

[kaimendhibs]

Thanks for the post. Also have a celtic fan as a pal who has a genuine like for Hibs, not through religion or cack like that. Its ok to accept compliments sometimed

Look mate ..... its all very nice of you n' that. but as you are finding with most of the replies to your comment the vast majority of Hibbies, including me, simply cant be doing with Celtic fans giving it the buddy buddy stuff .... we look on you as one cheek of a giant ugly sisters arse who have carved up Scottish football between each other for the last century or so and the fact that the Huns hate us almost as much as they do you and we hate them back doesn't make us pals.

I've come away from Hampden under a barrage of abuse and bottles in my time, but walking away from the stadium in 2013 with passing Celtic fans, who looked about as thrilled with winning the cup final as a guy who had just won £2.50 on the Euromillions, saying 'never mind wee man maybe next year' and stuff like that was more infuriating than any hail of bottles or piss taking from Jambos could ever be.

Have a nice evening :aok:

Ok some might think the op may be a wee bit patronising but Christ, it appears to be a genuine attempt to engage in a wee bit discussion with fellow football supporters from another fan base. If s/he is at it, fair enough but at least give them the benefit of the doubt and show some class by responding in a more respectful manner. By all means engage in some banter but let's not turn our forum into a parochial and sectarian/bigoted site like some others we quite rightly condemn.

I agree that there's nothing wrong with discussing football with fans of other teams in a respectful manner, but can you imagine any league in the world where a fan of the biggest team comes on to the forum of the 4th or 5th biggest team to pat them on the head ...... I cant, and to me it is symptomatic of how much of an irrelevance fans of the old form see other clubs as ... its patronising.

I haven't seen any bigoted or sectarian comments either, so I'm not sure where you are getting that from.

[AgentDaleCooper]

on a practical level celtic and rangers are basically one and the same - a malignant tumour on scottish football for which the press and authorities have developed a weird stockholm syndrome.

on an aesthetic level, i much prefer celtic, but i imagine that's because they behave much better towards us than rangers. they're still awash with sectarianism and all that nonsense though - some hearts supporting friends of mine were on a supporters bus to park head and had folk outside pretending to shoot them IRA style etc. etc.

a joke of an institution.

thanks for posting though :aok:

Going onto another team's forum, giving yourself a username dedicated to a side other than your own, then actually declaring your love for them...

[mcohibs]

Not sure why a fan of another team, giving what seems to be genuine praise to our club, would provoke such a strong reaction in folk...

I've seen/ spoke to fans of plenty other Scottish teams, Motherwell, Killie, Dons to name a few who've been complimentary of our fans, SOL etc. Why is it only considered patronising when it's a Celtic fan?

Spot on. Nothing wrong with disliking Celtic, obviously a very large portion of Scottish football fans do so, but there's been an awful lot of reading into nothing on a completely innocent post.

Thanks for the words OP. I love Liam Henderson, can't return the same sentiments about Celtic, but at least it's something. :wink:

Shouldn't you call yourself Celtic babs?

No offence but your post comes across as a tad patronising. However, it's totally understandable as we are probably the most stylish football club in the UK. A truly inclusive institution that has a place in popular culture.

i think it's because most of us will have experienced a celtic fan telling us fondly that hibs are their 'second team', almost expecting us to feel the same way or something...it's very irritating, and shows how utterly blind they are to the awful impact they and their sister club have on scottish football. if they really gave the remotest of hoots about other clubs or scottish football or anything that is good in life in general, they could ditch that mob altogether and support a real team. that's what my ex-hun uncle did when the old co went bust - he had had enough of their toxic crap and bought a season ticket at hearts, and doesn't even check the score for sevco games. fair play to him i say, even if he did go to the gunts.

this has nothing to do with inferiority complexes and paranoia - anyone who supports either of those teams should be reminded of what they are actually supporting at any given opportunity IMO :aok:

[Hibernia&Alba]

I don't mind fans of other teams adding to the forum debate. It can be good to opinions from others and so get a fresh viewpoint. We have a few Jambos on the forum, as well as fans of several other clubs. What happened to Van Nishtlerooy, the Killie fan? Provided they aren't only posting to create problems, I'm fine with it.

As many have stated in the past, my hatred for the lesser greens is as great as Rangers / The Rangers.

I only have to recall that day with the CS Gas cannister being chucked into the East to remember that they have elements in their supporter that are vile horrible people. Don't ever forget when Hibs fans, young and old escaped onto the pitch trying to get away from the gas, the Celtic end start signing "We are Celtic supporters". Vile horrible people. Please don't get me started.

Well, no you never directly said it ..... but for some reason you suggested that by not welcoming the guys post with open arms and basking in the warm glow of praise from a fan of the mighty Celtic this forum would be heading in the direction of certain other fans forums ..... your reply to my post still doesn't explain how you can form that conclusion.

I don't have a problem with the guy praising Sunshine on Leith, fans of loads of other clubs have done the same .... I wouldn't have a problem if he was praising our style of football or Keatings winner on Saturday, that's fine. But in the context of Scottish football as arguably the country's 4th biggest club we should be seen by Celtic fans as one of their closest rivals, not of so little consequence that we can be treated like some sort of 'pet club' ............ I wonder if he thought for a second that Celtic's hopes of a treble would be put in danger by a meeting with Hibs at Hampden if he would be so keen on an all green final.

His sense of affinity with Hibs is set out in his first sentence where he says ...... 'I love the way you hate the Huns, both sets' .... the inference being that this puts us into some sort of club where hating who Celtic hate or who hates Celtic gets you membership. We hate the Huns because they hate us and the reason they hate us is because they look on us as some sort of diet Celtic making us worthy of their sectarian bile .... Celtic fans think that makes us buddies ... it doesn't because as clearly seems to be the case their one sided affinity with us is just the other side of the same coin .... 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' doesn't work in football ... the Huns hating us certainly doesn't give me any feeling of affinity with Celtic. As for Hearts ... we hate Hearts because they are our derby rivals and that's all.

I welcome input from fans of any club on here, including Celtic, if they want to talk about football or tell us how brilliant we are.... not so much if they want to promote some sort of cozy alliance based on nothing more than the fact we are both hated by the same club.

[--------]

Absolutely cannot stand Celtc. The smug faux moral superiority coming from the fans, their political posturing and their huge sense of entitlement are odious. At least fans of The Rangers don't pretend to be anything but what they are.

The Ugly Sisters share equal responsibility for the wrecked and rigged state of Scottish Football. A mutually arranged stitch up to suit themselves at the expense of every other club.

And after decades and decades of mainlining on the sectarian division they so happily benefited from we've ended up with a game that is a one-and-a-half party state in which both of these grotesquely inflated clubs now want to complain that the competition isn't strong enough for them.

Don't tell us who we hate or don't hate. The day I welcome being patronised by Celtc supporters is the day I give up on football.

:top marksCould not agree with you more. The founders of Celtc FC intended their club to be built on the ashes of ours. They abused the goodwill of the Hibernian committee and by illegally poaching our players came nearer to destroying Hibs than anyone else since. I have no love for Celtc whatsoever, and I really dislike the tendency of some Hibs fans to ape the sectarian bigotry of the Glasgow club. And I REALLY don't like it when one of them comes on here patronising us and talking down to us about how much they 'love' Hibs and how the 'green-and-whites' should stand together.


Understand that I was honestly not being patronising at all. I've never considered the wee cousin thing. ( do I want hibs to beat Hearts of course but I hate hearts, do I want hibs to beat rangers yes but no more than any other team)

And I'm still trying to work out the thought-processes (using the word 'thought' very loosely there, pal) of a Soapdodger with a user name 'Hibeebabs'.

[hibbysam]

Would he have posted it on a Hearts forum? Naw, and no Celtic fan ever would, yet they feel the need to do it on a Hibs forum thinking we're some sort of wee feeder club.

Can't stand Celtic and the way they pretend to be some pillar of society when in reality they are just as bad as their blue brothers.

If you were really that proud to support Celtic, and just wanted to be 'friendly' then why on earth would you call yourself 'Hibee'Babs... Exactly, no reason other than to be a patronising wee ****.

All this 'I love how we both hate the Huns' and all this ***** is what infuriates me. Hibs and rangers both hate Celtic, I don't see any Huns come on and claim some sort of affinity and if they did they would get exactly the same treatment.

Any Hibs fans who pretend to 'like' Celtic need to have a quick skim over their history and how they tried to end us as a club in the very early days, and various incidents between the fans since then and then come back with the same likings.

Going onto another team's forum, giving yourself a username dedicated to a side other than your own, then actually declaring your love for them...

Celtic fans are, has to be said, a little odd.

Would you prefer if he pretended to be a hibby just to win us over. There are guys from here who visit other fans websites, should they expect to be abused because they support hibs? Would be a bit off if they were.

Who's really being abusive here?

Ha!

[lapsedhibee]

At least fans of The Rangers don't pretend to be anything but what they are.

Yes they do. Fans of the Thes, like fans of Rangers before them, think they're a part of some 'dignified institution'.

Considering that Celtic are front runners to sook up any young talent Hibs ( or any other club in Scotland for that matter ) uncover, including a promising 14 year old kid recently, I for one consider the fortunate loan of Stokes and Hendo last season to be nothing more than our due from them ..... the same with Commons and Ambrose this season ..... one thing is certain, they loan us players because its good business and advantageous to them in that it either helps develop the player as in the case of Henderson or puts them in the shop window as in the case of Stokes and Ambrose ..... I highly doubt kindness is at the forefront of their thinking.

Any part Celtic played in Hibs winning the cup last season is purely coincidental .... in fact if they did make any contribution to Hibs winning the cup it was in somehow allowing themselves to be beaten in the semis by a Sevco team they should have been able to brush aside easily.

There is the possibility of being civilised, respectful and honest - being a decent poster basically - without resorting to cringy gushing. I'd wager that is the very pretending you're speaking of.

And declaring your "love" for another club isn't a bit off?

I don't mind fans of other clubs (even Hearts or Sevco) posting on here, providing they are both polite to us and honest about their allegiance. The OP's user name fails the second test - I'd have some respect if they had registered as "CeltcBabs".

And the OP openly states that "I love the way you hate the Huns both sets". I feel the same way about Celtc that I do about the two teams that they mention, so I'm just being consistent in my initial reaction to someone who only has nice things to say about us based on what they think we have in common (Ambrose, Lennon). Newsflash - we're Hibs and have nothing in common with a bunch of soapdodging bigots of either persuasion.

Pretty much all of this. I don't feel the need to abuse her but it's to be expected.

You mean like calling yourself 'hibeebabs'??? I'd say that's pretending to be a hibby.

One thing that the internet hearts fans are trying to do is suggest one sort of link between ourselves and Celtic to try and undermine our recent achievements.

"Loan players, Lennon, Celtic B team blah blah..."


On second thoughts, this reeks a bit of bumped charities.
