Scotland vs Hibs

[My_Wife_Camille]

Both for me

[BoomtownHibees]

It’s club before country for me but the folk saying they would rather Hibs win a normal league game than Scotland winning the World Cup are either at it or English

[blackpoolhibs]

Cant answer that, as a patriotic Scot and a born and bred Hibby, its something i hope happens once in my lifetime.

[Pretty Boy]

Hibs. Not even a contest.

[Dashing Bob S]

Would watch Hibs against lower league opposition in the early stages of s cup competition before any conceivable Scotland game.

[danhibees1875]

Id be at the Hibs game, although it's a lot closer a call since 2016.

Anything other than a cup final then I'd probably be watching Scotland. I'm not even a big follower of international football, but Scotland in a WC final would be an incredible scene.

Obviously a completely hypothetical question.......

Scotland are in the World Cup final against England, and on the same day, at the same time, Hibs play hearts in the Scottish cup final.

What game do you watch???

Hibs game, always. International football doesn't float my boat.

Prior to 2014 it would've been a difficult choice for me, however I still can't get over the cringe of watching unionists stand to sing the line "and be the nation again" when they collectively shat it in 2014.

If they would have the balls to stand by their convictions and belt our God Save the Queen then maybe I'd have a decision to make, but as long as they continue to embarrass the rest of us it's a no brainer.

ahaha whit

[Booker5time]

Oh look another one of them threads where you can prove, how much of a uber hibs fan you are over you country

You dont have to pick guys, u can support both at the same time.

[Eyrie]

As a Scot I want the national team to win, but couldn't concentrate on them even in the World Cup Final for worrying about Hibs were getting on.

So I'd watch Hibs play, and then the Scotland game "as live".

[pacoluna]

What a lot of bollocks, the only reason those people wouldn't go to the world cup final is cause they wouldn't get tickets 😂😂😂😂. How the hell could u possibly pick a Hibs game over a bloody world cup final against . England. You must be taking the piss 😂.

Because we are Hibs fans first and foremost? If Hibs lose it ruins my weekend, if Scotland lose I can brush it off pretty easily.

I’m confused. Are you attributing the result of the independence referendum to the national team’s support?

Re the OP. Not even close. Scotland.

[The Spaceman]

Scotland. Most of us were there to see Hibs lift the cup in the greatest game in our history. Imagine the scenes across Scotland going on such a run over a World Cup? Everywhere would be mad/buzzing and if we won, wow.

He’s talking about the Scottish Cup Final vs Hearts, not a League Cup game vs Arbroath.

We've been to a cup final against hearts before, infact we've been to a couple of cup finals and we will be at more again in the future. A world cup final against England would be absolutely life changing, it would generate attention from all over the world, I don't think you understand how big it would be probably cause it will never ever happen ��.

Any way Scotland beating England at cricket will do for just now, which looks likely atm.

[barcahibs]

This seems to come up again every couple of weeks. Anyway, same answer i give every time, Hibs. Absolutely zero interest in international football - and if i had my way Hibs would refuse permission for our players to take part.

Actually i do caveat that slightly... If the team includes any celtc, sevco or Hearts players, then, although i still don't really care, I'd probably take a bit of pleasure in them getting beaten if i saw their greetin faces on the news afterwards. Wouldn't go looking for it, but it would probably brighten my day if i stumbled across it.

Oh great, yet another chance for folk to give the national team a collective boot in the balls. Post the same thread on The TAMB for a bit of balance.

This. ***** thread.

Out if interest, have you polled those who sing FOS at Scotland games to find out how they voted?

Because in football Hibs comes before anything for me. Its clearly not bollocks for a lot of other folk too.

[wookie70]

If Hibs were playing any competitive match they would be my first choice by quite a margin. However, if Scotland did get to a World Cup final then my enthusiasm for the National side may have grown. I doubt it would be enough to stop me choosing Hibs though.

Watch ? I’d be at Hampden but I’d put the Scotland game on flash scores :)
But seriously cmon , no way are Hearts ever getting to a final :)

Imagine people having the temerity to exercise their democratic right to vote as they chose. You know, voting on their convictions, as I’m sure you did.

its a shame that you feel embarrassed to live somewhere that we respect democratic outcomes.

Hibs every time. With how I feel about international football these days, if it was a choice between Scotland qualifying for a World Cup and Hibs qualifying for the Europa League group stages, I would choose the latter.

How many SSC loyalty points are you on? ;)

I sure do love when people bring political matters into any conversation they can Lighten up it's just a fun question asked by the op

Anyway before 2016 it would of been Hibs, but Scotland winning the World Cup would be a different kind of joy to experience

How's that then? Obviously when Scotland play I want them to win, but if they don't then.... I'll be over it before the post match interviews!
For me internationals are an unwelcome distraction. I hate not going to a Hibs game on a Saturday because Scotland are away to Malta.
I've also never been able to attend a derby, passionately despise guys like Levein, McKay, Berra etc. Then want them to do well for Scotland a few days later 😂. Might sound a bit pathetic but that's just how it is with me.
