Leith San Siro

[tanfield]

Is it just me (probably is) or does anyone else cringe when someone uses the phrase Leith San Siro?

[-Jonesy-]

Think it's a quality term

[Northernhibee]

You're right.

Compared to ER the San Siro is a dump.

[Stuart93]

Have to agree...would maybe make more sense if it looked a bit like it

[NAE NOOKIE]

No bothered :dunno:

[1van Sprou7e]

Just a laugh, don't think anyone uses it unironically

[Hibernia&Alba]

Not a term I've ever used, but it's better than the Gorgie San Giro.

[keep the faith]

I can't imagine the phrase ever bothering me.
I like it. It's ironic and very hibs. 😊

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I must admit, it doesnae keep me awake at night.

[Callyballybe]

I use it in jest now and again. Gets a smile from my non supporting Hibs mates, especially those who come up from down south to catch a game or two. I don't think it's cringey in the slightest. Small things like this that are almost 'inside jokes' to the supporters of a club are part of what makes a club what it is, it's a similar thing to 'Hibs class'. I don't go about telling everyone that anything that is good in the world is Hibs class, but I've no problem using it on here or again, in jest, when talking with fellow supporters.

We're not the only club that does this, and as long as we don't become yammish and start believing these inside jokes and think that our stadium actually is the San Siro, then I don't see any issues with it at all.

What else would we get to rhyme with seven zero?

Who do you think you are kidding Mr Jeffries..........

Much missed song!

[Phil MaGlass]

[BigT-Hibeez]

My Jambo cousin calls it the Leith San Giro..!!! Never liked the guy!!!

[KeithTheHibby]

To the tune of Dads Army..

Who do you think you are kidding Mr Jeffries, If you think your number 1..
We are the boys from the Leith San Siro, you were in the team when we ****ed you 7-0!

Very witty number.

[judas]

Think it's a quality term

I'm with you.

I think it's similar to the term 'Yam' that's used in reference to anything Hearts, in that it's only people on the internet who use it and it's not heard in real life conversation. Thankfully. Proper cringe.

Nope. I make a point of referring to them as Yam Fuds when in conversation, just as I make a point of giving The Rangers their proper title.

Pity that Celtc can't really be conveyed orally.

I think it's used for them, as it's one of the few thigs that they can be called without bypassing the swear filter.

[Thecat23]

Never used it, never will. Easter Road for me it’s more famous and well known 😎

Yeh, like actually believing they are famous or that the library really is one of "the world's most atmospheric stadiums" :faf:

[OsloHibs]

Every 2nd Saturday 3pm, my heart is at the Leith San Siro💚

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Can't say it bothers me, but prefer The Holy Ground myself, one which dates back to the early days of the club.

[Nameless]

It's easier to say than "The Leith Estadio Giuseppe Meazza".

Does this qualify as a 1st world problem - cringing because people (very rarely) use a colloquialism to affectionately describe a stadium?
