To run along side the pet hate thread, what are some of your favourite things about football.
I like seeing players singing their national anthem.
I like seeing everyone on the bench go wild when a player scores.

Seeing a player beat a man with a bit of trickery.
Watching emerging talent at Hibs. Nothing beats seeing a young guy coming through the ranks and knowing he’s going to be good.

Drive home after an unexpected away victory, and hearing hearts have lost at home the same day.

The sheer joy that a team doing something special brings. 2016 is the obvious example - the crowd noise when that goal went in is way beyond the normal goal cheer - but I also saw Reading get promoted to the top flight for the first time in their history in 2006. I don't consider myself a Reading fan but I can't deny that I had a lump in my throat when they sealed the Championship.
PS I was also behind the goal at Hampden in 1973 when Joe Jordan put Scotland into the World cup finals for the first time in my lifetime - a very special moment.Last edited by Caversham Green; 13-06-2021 at 06:19 PM.

A proper scrap with just about every player from both teams involved.
An opposing player getting a good ovation from fans for something they have done either in or outside of football. People call it soft but I think it's a great touch. Ronaldo at Old Trafford, Ronaldinho in Madrid or Alan Stubbs and James McFadden at ER are examples I can think off.
Being at a game when plenty others have decided to give it a miss and seeing an unexpected victory. The Casper game at Tynecastle is the one that always springs to mind for me.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Celebrating with complete strangers after a vital goal. Any goal really

The time when Leeds let Aston Villa score. It was good seeing a Manager instruct his players to do something because it was the right thing to do in the circumstances. I still like watching clips of how that whole episode unfolded.

Seeing TV clips of Hibs playing in the early 70s which I’ve never seen before.

The collective "go on" from the fans as someone runs clear on goal or there's a big chance
The nerves walking to the stadium from the car

Just curious as I like those moments too and know the first two but strangely enough couldn’t put my finger on the two that happened at us!

Turning on to Easter road, whether it’s walking from London road or turning on further down. Especially if I’ve not been at a game in a while it’s all part of the excitement and build-up and feels like that’s me properly into hibs ground. Doesn’t matter if I’m heading to boozer, bookies or straight there, I like the pre match buzz and starting to spot the green shirts.

An injury time equaliser (for us). It turns a depressing near defeat into what seems like a win in a fraction of a second.

- Seeing another fan in public with their memorabilia on (US only), like being part of a club only some people understand.

Loved watching Turnbull's Tornadoes play. A joy to watch most of the time. Great European nights at Easter Road. There as a youngster when we tore Napolo to pieces. They thought they were here just to take in the castle etc and buy some whisky and shortbread.

• Fast flowing, attacking and intelligent football.
• A perfect cross finished with a towering back post header from an old fashioned No 9.
• Jumping around in total disbelief as a Narey "toe poke" blazed into the Brazillian net (it was great while it lasted)."The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it" - George Bernard Shaw.
