Frank Boyle has drawn this pretty nifty cartoon recreating a Hibs v Hearts derby on The Meadows from 1875. I like it
He plans to make prints available in due course - https://mobile.twitter.com/boylecart...94028882325504

I see Canon Hannan, Robert Louis Stevenson and Leerie the Lamplighter in the crowd. Does Stevenson have anything to do with this fixture or is it just some (ahem) poetic licence on the part of the artist?

First match took place East Meadows Christmas Day 1875 Hearts were three men short for the first twenty minutes but the inexperienced Hibernian team could not take advantage and lost 0-1
Reminds me of the take ons in the Meadows in the seventies and eighties then back to the pubLast edited by BILLYHIBS; 12-04-2020 at 11:12 AM.

Was hibs v hearts always the biggest derby in Edinburgh? I know there was quite a few other teams around at that time and for a good few years after that.
United we stand here....

Great detail - even got the irish navvies with their green neckerchiefs and spades and picks, which they used to protect the pitch and the players from anti-catholic mobs who resented irishmen using the meadows.

Heard he lost his man for the first cross, again. Past it and a target for the boo boys back in even 1875 apparently
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction
