[hibs0666]

Interested in seeing how dedicted to the cause we are as a group.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I never bothered voting for one particular choice as over the years there have been times when I'd have fallen into numerous of the categories.

[southern hibby]

If I was to say you can always get another wife but not another Hibs it wouldn't even come close. GGTTH

[NOLA]

other things are more important if im 100% honest.

This.

[hibees 7062]

I used to think it was between Hibs and my wife , then i left her and realised nothing has changed

[yeezus.]

I wish I could get to more Hibs games but living in Stranraer and working the odd Saturday night make it really difficult.

Exactly the same for me.

Can never fully understand how some folk get so distressed/enraged about a bunch of blokes of a similar age playing football.

Remember leaving the Ross county quarter replay where we lost in injury time and witnessing a man in his 40s booting a portaloo and in floods of tears. Not for me. Much more to life.

Love the good times, but can just laugh off the bad moments (you have to as a hibee)

[Baldy Foghorn]

Only 1 option for me there.....

[Gustavo Fring]

other things are more important , infact most things are more important .. but if i have the choice to spend a saturday with the wife and kids , or goin to easter road , the hibees win every time

Everyone could say that I know in my teens it was the first one as travelled everywhere and often put hibs games above most thingsAs you mature and have family finances can dictate you can't then do that .However I could of paid off my mortgage years ago if I totted up what have spent on following hibs .Anyone who has read Fever Pitch will empathise with the authors views I can remember hibs scores related to when important things happened and family died They are always there and you have to take the rough with the smooth But while I would put myself in family comes first am sure my wife wouldn't agree

Yes, waiting for the "all of the above" option.

I've always supported Hibs but came to watching them from the terrace relatively late at 17.
I also played rugby so was surprised just how deeply I cared for the club.

In 1990 my father passed suddenly in April and within a few months Hibs went through their darkest hour the knot in my stomach felt the same. The thought of losing Hibs was unbearable - that feeling caught me by surprised as I was not indoctrinated - my father was a rugby man but were 5/6 generation Leithers so must be in the genes...

I spent almost 10 years in London and would do anything to catch up with Hibs news (even buy the Daily Record as The Scotsman was only available in a couple of places. Then came the Hibs List, Erin Hibs/web Rivals and Hibs.net The advent of the internet my obsessions only got worse.

Whilst you get some sense of the size of our club from the net it was meeting folks from London Hibs - Brian, Kevin, Alex and Pat that It registered how big we are and how fanatically loyal our support can be. More recently I've also had the pleasure of meeting folks through LWT and Hibs.net, the Community Foundation that has brought me even closer to the club.

My Wife hates it ;) although it if hadn't of been for London Hibs and John Collins scoring that penalty I wouldn't have met her so it's not all bad (is it?)

Other things in my life are now more important. I just can't justify the time it costs to go every week.

Exactly as it is for me .
Over the last 73 years I have had a " roller coaster" ride of pleasure and despair but it has never teken over my life
Will alwys be eternally grateful to the " Famous Five" for providing the entetainment and success in the 40/50's - unforgetable time
Since then it has been , as I said , a "Roller Coaster"

Hazard a guess at Scotland v Brazil in 1998, and his wife is Brazilian?

Yes because its blatantly obvious right enough.

Howdy bud - I too was at said match in Wells Street and I think we bought each other a few beers. We've met again since (I'm not one of the aforementioned reprobates in your post - I'm worse )

The next time you're in London, get yourself to Quinn's for some top notch scran.

In life there are other priorities but strangely Hibs remain a concern/love..

Hadn't realised we'd met Sergey! Turns out the London Hibs meeting venue of 98 (The Holyrood) was the local of The Callan School of English hence OUR pub being bedecked with Brazilian colours...

Correct - a bit of a clue is in the name Hermit. Penalty scored, Scotsman in kilt celebrates in front of Brazilians in bar and catches the eye of future wife ("I don't know what your name is but I know what your bum looks like" ;))

[Scouse Hibee]

Couldn't really decide on any of the options, my perspective on how important football was to me was changed for ever in 89. The passion to go to matches is as strong as ever, the effect the result has on me has dimmed over the years.

[frazeHFC]

I do kinda 'live and breathe Hibs', every day I can't wait for the next game, my next one is Celtic due to exams but already counting down the days. Only reason I never put that is because family does come first, but only if it's really really important.
