We used to run a bus from out of town to the New Year derby every year and even in the early 70s, although the bus was mostly Hibs , there were usually some Hearts supporters on the bus. Before segregation we would stand together as well. It wasn’t a great trip for them mind as I don’t think we ever lost.Quote:

I chose Hibs thanks mainly to our annual summer trips on the ferry to Scotland, visits to Edinburgh, and loving their beautiful green kit.
I'd be a liar if I said I've never once questioned that decision! :greengrin
Havertz confirmed out for the rest of the season with a torn hamstring
Live scores posted yesterday
I thought that was common knowledge :greengrinQuote:

I would have been about that age around that time too and there was 3 teams popular here in Celtic , Liverpool and Man Utd . I can still remember most of the boys at my school having either a Celtic , Liverpool or Man U school bag …
It wasn’t the easiest times being a Hibee back then especially watching your mates team’s winning everything while yours were struggling quite badly .. 🙁
I was different in my dad is a Hibby and we moved from Edinburgh to Donegal when I was even younger though he took me back regularly to see the Hibs and I was hooked even back then …
It could have been so different as my Grandad was a Celtic fan ( not a big one though ) who ran a pub in the Grass market and couldn’t take my Dad to games on a Saturday due to being busy . My Dads brother in law , a mad hibby took him to ER instead …
I suppose if I was asked ‘ what’s it like to be a Hibby ‘ I’d say it’s like a rollercoaster ride with more downs then ups but I wouldn’t change it for the world…
GGTTH :scarf:
No, but it's only Everton I am interested in - my late Dad was a Scouser with Irish roots, and an Everton fan, and I was born down there. I only have distant relatives living in the city now, but I still love the place, and its people.Quote:

Liverpool won so I adopted them as my English team.
11 months later they drew Hibs in the Eufa Cup
Liverpool won they 3-2 on aggregate
They went one way , Hibs went the other when realistically they were 2 evenly matched teams.
Crossed the great divide and supported Man United as my English team since.
We have a mutual mate who's changed teams too. :wink:Quote:

I’ll have to have think who🤔Quote:

Brighton 1 - 0 Chelsea .. great touch and finish.
Outrageous touch from Mitoma and a not bad finish
Mitoma - fantastic goal.
Beautiful take-like Bergkamp in his heydayQuote:
