After my Hertz friend throwing this line away again most recently, got me thinking and realising if Tynecastle's finest were to go to the wire and lose last day to Raith, that would be the third time I am aware of them capitulating at the final hurdle..ouch We totally Hibsed it five years ago right enough..the best thing was when JM told the listening public post match interview

I've never understood quite why we get so much scrutiny for the amount of silverware that we've won in recent years.

For the most part of that Aberdeen and Hearts have had much bigger wages budgets.

For that Aberdeen have a tired and tatty stadium, eye bleeding hoofball and the grand total of one league cup.

Hearts have two relegations, two Scottish cups, embarrasing defeats to Brora, an incomplete stand, a team of washed up journeymen and a list of stiffed creditors as long as your arm. It nearly broke them.

We've got a good stadium, a good squad with young talent, a league cup, a Scottish cup and a bright future. We're producing international level players and are third in the league.

'Hibsed it' is such a myth. We punch at our weight without a lot of the crap that came with it for both Aberdeen and Hearts. We're a well run club.

In my time supporting Hibs I have seen us successfully pick up 2x Drybrough cups [valued in its day] 3x League Cups and a Scottish Cup. In three of the six successes we had to beat both members of the old firm in the semi and final, we had one win each where we beat Rangers in the semi or final and the only time we didn't play a member of the old firm we took care of Hearts on route.

By contrast, two of hearts three Scottish Cup wins came with the back drop of financial doping with Romanov using his bank's customer's cash to bring in players neither he or hearts couldn't hope to bring in with legal funds and even their win in 1998 was funded by a large part by the 24 million debt inherited by Romanov but never paid off by him. Herts are legends in their own fans mind but the reality is a different world altogether.

GreenDay..I wasn't trying to quote Turnbull, loosely using it furthermore to John McGinn saying to football listeners "We Hibsed it right enough". A class giruy to all those 'voices' that were willing us to fail(and the media's beloved 'gers to win)...or would you have me as some American Idiot instead?

[DIXIHIBS]

Why would a hibs fan start a thread like this? That saying was created by hertz fans in an attempt to humiliate us. Why any hibbie would use it is beyond me.

[Bishop Hibee]

Hibs supporters using this phrase was, is and always will be the definition of cringeworthy. If there was any truth to it, which I refute as plenty other teams screw things up, it died on 21/5/16.

[CJHibby]

We Hibs fans have risen above such a futile put me down started by pathetic Bambos. If they are not flying planes with messages, contacting Susie Dent to change the English language, they still try to get in cheap shots by trying to self deprecate their own shortcomings with that old Turkish delight..when you're down you try to grab onto anything, eh? Like a drowning man..don't kid ourselves on fellow Hibees, there'll be plenty undercover readers seething at this as I type

[CJHibby]

BishopHibee you are bang on..McGinn made a fool of all of 'them' live on air..WE showed 'em all

[CJHibby]

As has been said before, almost all their songbook died that day too.

About as relevant as 5-1 these days.

The original point Superfurryhibby was Hearts fans have a cheek trying to berate Hibs messing up when this year could be the third example of Hearts screwing up on a last day of the season again. I wasn't at the wind up even if the irony of the exclamation mark was lost on some.

Surely the correct title for a thread about Hearts is "jambottled it"? Using a phrase used by Hearts fans to criticise us is a strange choice.

And it should have the prefix "NHC".

WeeRussell has summed me up perfectly..too much time on my hands at present so have been starting up threads to see who thinks what in Hibs fan land. The way I termed the Marciano one was rightfully berated so no qualms with that..all about opinions..

I did include a caveat in my summary by saying “I could be wrong”.

... just in case you get launched in the next few hours 😀

[Allez Hibs]

Thought we had turned the saying around to own it ourselves effectively?

Dont have a problem with it.

Hopefully we aren't using it with the Scottish Cup potentially opening up for us.

If we are worried about the term Hibsed it then how soft are we?

I don't know if worried is the right word. It was always an irritant but more because of the pathetic people it eminated from and how poor our media was in embracing it. Worried though? Hardly. Especially as it has no meaning now.

A jambo friend of mine used this term last week on a golf course when he screwed up a shot (again). I politely referred him to Brora / relegation / failure of legal challenges and manager / player signing policies. He was very quite after that.
I used to simply ignore the ignorance - too old and grumpy to continue to do that...

That along with the 1-5 safety blankey gets an odd airing by my Jambo chums but they don’t like getting it back.

I have used 2 very simple lines

The Lady Haig Poppy Fund

MacCraes Battalion Charity

This is normally followed by

It’s in the past so you cannot bring that up blah blah blah...

In the last week however I have used this

Brora’d it.

They all think they are so superior with this big team pish but let’s face it if big teams have the smallest capacity stadium in the city, not the last Edinburgh Team to win a major trophy, haven’t won the league cup for 58 years and counting, are in a lower league and were put out of the Scottish cup by a highland league team then they are a big team!

I don’t know any Hibs fan who uses that phrase.

Anyone coming on here and starting a thread using it, or endorsing it under any pretext, will get a good Broracating.....

John McGinn put that phrase to bed around 5pm on 21st May 2016

You got called out on the Ofir to Celtic thread, and now this mince?

You cant even get the Turnbull quote right, which tells me quite a lot about you.

Was just going to ask if this wasn’t the Marciano stirrer. Wee pattern emerging.

[Northernhibee]

Jambottled it.

Brora Rangers 😎

After reading this thread, I am away to watch that famous film about a successful surprise attack on an arrogant, bigger foe - Brora, Brora, Brora

Same guy Tam. Admins had to close his latest Beezer about Celtic.

Must still be hurting about Brora.

the boy is obviously on a roll.

Reminds me of the Hogmanay when they first moved it to Princes st. Mental crush as they’d not managed the crowds and everyone converged at the bottom of the Mound.

Anyway this guy got up on top of the roof of the toilets for a better view. Polis ask him to come down- he cups his ear preventing not to hear. Not coming down. Impasse ensues.

Polis make their way up and at the last minute the boy dives into the crowd but he hadn’t accounted for people anticipating this abs moving out the way it was like the parting of the Red Sea. Boy bit concrete but managed to hobble away whilst the Polis just shook their heads - just let em knock themselves out.

For those that first coined,or used the phrase, it died on their midden ,in the "10 minutes to go" game.
