Their support in general just remind me of Trainspotting, perhaps for obvious reasons, but their fans all seem to be weedy, neddy bampots, a bit like Begbie, or the aforementioned Derek Riordan and Leigh Griffiths. I mean those two have a lot in common; both Edinburgh boys, both Hibs fans, both played for Hibs and Celtic and both despite having a lot of ability as footballers have some questionable off field behaviours that fall way short of professional standards. Oh aye, and both have a fondness for belting out a certain racist chant about Rudi Skacel in Edinburgh pubs whilst out their faces and being filmed on a mobile phone. A couple of Hibs finest sons right there, it’s a wonder they weren’t part of the disgraceful scenes of Hibernian driven thuggery on the Hampden pitch on that day in May 2016. Hibs fans seem to take an exaggerated pride in disliking Rangers. which is like expecting to be congratulated for not beating your wife. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A96 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Most Scottish referees are members of their local Orange Lodge , Masonic Lodge and Rangers Supporters Club. And the others are priests or employed at the local Catholic school. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I don't think I've ever met a Partick fan called Tarquin who is studying modern dance at the RSAMD. I have met Partick fans who are bams though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nevertheless, they're quite fun. Celtic managers have wee specky ginger guy energy, regardless of actual height, visual impairments or hair colour. When things are going well they have decent patter and can be fairly affable, but when they're under pressure they turn into sarcastic, bitter arseholes with a chip on their shoulder about absolutely everything and everyone. (O'Neill, Strachan, Lennon, Rodgers.) Hibs have a conveyor belt of gallus young homegrown strikers with blonde hair who are ridiculously talented but also some combination of either incredibly thick or completely mental that prevents them from fulfilling their full potential. (O'Connor, Riordan, Griffiths, Cummings) St Johnstone have a team of 10 nondescript Scots and one exotic baller who is absolutely class, usually either from the Mediterranean, former Yugoslavia or the Middle East. Spoony's from Perth is he not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a uniform. Holy moley. Burberry baseball caps. I know you said you hadn't been there for years, but I didn't realise you meant 1997. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said you hadn't been there for years, but I didn't realise you meant 1997. Which is why it is a stereotype. That said, I stayed not a million miles from Easter Road a good few years after 1997 and Burberry still seemed to be the second strip of Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 The stereotype of a large % of Rangers fans being morbidly obese, sweaty, thick, intolerant right wing bigots is actually a fairly accurate one in my experiences of growing up in Fallin, near Stirling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Bullpen Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I love the fact County get slaughtered for taking about 150 fans to most away games (they do this every second week) which actually is a bigger number than pretty much all other than the "big 6" teams take twice a year up to Dingwall (it's the same distance just in reverse) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 All Diddy club fans MUST have a "big team" is Scottish fitba stereotype 101.All Scotland fans are kilt wearing, Teuchters who are fully paid up members of the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the Hibs mechandise guys have stalls along the street with scarves, flags, badges etc, with a special drawer of Burberry underneath.

tree house tam Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Burberry after 1994 ? You sure boys? Surely the Hibees had moved onto Aquascrotum and stone island(fake in their case) after that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 2013, we had long swapped our Burberry caps for jobbie-catchers. One cannot be worn with the other. This is common knowledge in Leith and it's environs, my tweed-bedecked friend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
