Came across this in the archives:

 

Saturday, 23rd

September, 1950.

 

THE LAMENT OF THE HIBS.

 

This is the tale of the mighty Hibs

Until this week 11 big nibs

But now they have found they?re ower auld

Tae match their skill wi Willie Bauld.

 

At 3 p.m. the air was tense

The battle then was to commence

Bauld kicked off the game was started

And Hearts soon had the Hibs outsmarted.

 

Gordon Smith was in a frenzie

So calmly kicked big Tam Mackenzie

Then half-time came without a score

Though Hearts kept pressing more and more.

 

The boys trooped out into the rain

And Reilly kicked off once again

The Hibs were very soon upset

To see that fitba? in the net

Tommy Sloan had scored a goal

And Hibs were really up the pole

The same old story comes and goes

For Hibs and their immortal foes.

 

GORDON SMITHS GOT A CAULD

HE THINKS IT?S INFLUENEZIE

ITS NO? A CAULD SAYS WILLIE BAULD

ITS LIKELY TAM McKENZIE.

Brilliant stuff.

 

Looks like nothing much has changed in 58 years.
