i8hibsh Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Why does it say that we have played Hibs over 600 times but on the footy mad site it says 295 times? http://www.footymad.net/head_to_head/hibernian/vs/heart_of_midlothian/index.shtml Is it something to so with 'friendly' games?

i8hibsh Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 yeah that 600 number includes friendly or exhibition matches But that means they have played over 300 of them (more than competative)? It doesn't add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 But that means they have played over 300 of them (more than competative)? It doesn't add up. in the early days Hearts and Hibs played each other in friendlies constantly From wikipedia (needs updating of course) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh_derby#Overall_record "Hearts have the better record in derbies with 136 wins to 85 wins by Hibs in 309 competitive matches.[1] There have been approximately 600 Edinburgh derbies to date, meaning that almost half of all derbies have been played in local competitions and "friendlies". Hearts hold a lead of 140 wins to Hibs' 112 wins in these other games." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
