Quadruple voddies sold for like ?2, frequently spotting Hearts players there etc. I had the pleasure of seeing a few bitters getting what for, especially after the Hartley semi. Good guys.

Le Chat Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 A hibs prick I used to work with used to call us the Establishment Club as if it was derogatory in some way.
