Ironic Banner for Parkhead 30 Sept

"Henderson"

"Lennon"

"Ambrose"

"Commons"

"Celtc - Hibs' Feeder Club Since 90+2"

[HibsNutter]

Aye, let's take the piss out of our own club. Although I'm sure some of our fans love the whole sucking up to Celtic theme.

Good humour there - like it!

Some people need to have fun. It's good banter to be honest.

Fair enough everyone.

I did ask a question, and got my answer.

I think the joke here is on celtic, while having a nice wee reminder of beating rangers 3-2 at the same time. But no worries if folk took it differently. No harm done!

Brother Walfrid was a Hibby. He founded them and he was a Hibby. Simple as that.

I think it has the potential to backfire on us mate, which is why you didn't get many takers ..... the Celtic fans could justifiably retort that we had them coz they weren't good enough for Celtic, at least not by the time they came to us.

Keep it simple ... first to wear the Green for example. Though it would be class if we could come up with a banner showing that picture of the pre 1888 Hibs team wearing Green and White hoops with a message on it along the lines of:

Hibs strip
the Poznan
'You'll never walk alone'
Legia Warsaw's champions league place
Other clubs fans

Nail it down or Celtic will nick it :greengrin

I think it's funny, good banter and what football rivalry should be all about... we should leave all the hate and even the mentions of sectarianism to others and revel in the joy of being Hibees. Jeez people need to chill a bit.

How is it taking the piss out of our club? It's ripping them for their similar banner a few years ago. Hardly sucking up to Celtic. Think there's a few wooshes in the replies here.

Ok after we beat them 0-3 with Lennon as boss and Tony Stokes and Ambrose both scoring..then can we make the banner ? :greengrin

I agree, as a Glaswegian from a predominantly celtc (the only way to spell it since their banner balls up) supporting family I use this chant frequently and it's hard for them to respond to 😄

I've got to admit it does irk me a little, only because if it wasn't for the formation of Celtic we'd most likely be Hibees. Don't you think?

[pacorosssco]

Also its written at this point Celtic Rangers were best of friends. Its a shame rest that came. Few cities are one club though for whatever reason. Paris Amsterdam must be biggest

Glasgow was considerably bigger than Edinburgh in the early twentieth century and I'm sure there would've eventually been a football club formed if Celtic hadn't been.

As for the banners, I'd rather have pro-Lennon/pro-Hibs ones than ones having digs at Celtic. Let's wait until we're established in the top flight again and the odds of us getting a thrashing have been significantly reduced before we start getting too cheeky.

[MichaelTheCelt]

I have heard and read little bits here and there that the rivalry with Celtic and Rangers wasn't as bad as what it has became. But there was definitely an anti Irish sentiment in Glasgow during the early years of our formation.

Genuine question here and I would be interested to hear the take on it from Hibernian supporters. Would you say Hibernian would have been better off if Celtic had never been founded?

I've never really thought much about the role Celtic played in what happened to Hibernian after we were founded, to be honest I always thought growing up the rivalry between our clubs was more of a friendly rivalry. Undoubtedly this shows my naivety here and since being on this forum it has opened my eyes up a little.

I was just going for a joke man, didn't mean it to come across as brash? :aok:

Oh and for what it's worth I actually think that 'Celtic FC - Hibs feeder Club' banner is quite good craic.

Ill go simple answer. Hibernians went bust when after playing games raise funds to form Celtic they stole most of our team and we folded as a result. Glasgow was always destined for two teams.

Straight to the point, I can understand the disdain for Celtic from Hibs fans to be fair. I'm not someone that will keep green tinted specs on, quite simply Celtic did play a role some way in what happened to Hibernian during it's early years. It's pity it turned out the way it did.

Sorry, I thought you were being serious (not brash) and was just giving my opinion.

Good old internet misunderstanding. Old as time itself.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Why dont we just fill out the away end and sing our normal songs? No banner required!

[DH1875]

Brother Walfrid was a Hibby. He founded them and he was a Hibby. Simple as that.

:agree: They don't like that Brother Walfrid was a Hibby at all :agree:

[DH1875]

Were Celtic ever called Glasgow Hibernian? Sure I read somewhere that they were.

[danhibees1875]

Were Celtic ever called Glasgow Hibernian? Sure I read somewhere that they were.

Are you maybe thinking of Dundee united?

On topic, I don't like that idea for a banner. It's not like Celtic want any of them mentioned, if they did they'd just take them.

For the person who asked if we would be better off without the formation of Celtic, no; we'd have kept a few extra players in the 1880s, and that's about it.

[Bostonhibby]

Celtc - we gave you a club and you cannae even spell it.

:aok:That's the one.

[Johnny Clash]

Their newly formed committee voted in favour of the name 'Glasgow Hibernian' BUT there was a business minded guy with influence called 'Glass' who saw the potential to make loads of money so longs they moved away from the total charitable ambition of Hibs so he persuaded bro Wilfred to over-rule the democratic decision and choose the name Celtic instead. Hibs also played fundraisers to raise money for parkhead as we had done earlier for Dundee Hibernian (Utd).

Interesting question.

Obviously impossible to do more than speculate, but my view is that we'd have ended up as the ""Catholic" and "Irish" club that you are. The resulting large support base would have meant that we'd have won far more trophies but I don't think that would be a fair trade given that we'd also have been the target for the sectarian bigots and would not be the inclusive club that we are.

That may be because most Celtc fans like to look down on us as a second team, when in fact we not only have our own identity but were founded long before we were imitated in Glasgow.

We're fine with Celtc fans who show us the respect we deserve as occasional rivals. I just wish that could be a regular rather than occasional occurance.

I love this but the few wee bams in out support who seem to have an affinity with Celtic and like being seen as their wee brothers might get upset.
