zakred Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I called in to the ticket office this morning for 4 seats together, got these in Gorgie sec V all that was left in Gorgie. I could have had either end of the main stand.....those little bits on either end but chose the Gorgie row 23. Girl in the office said when they are gone they will open Wheatfield next .not Roseburn.

Liverpool and Man Utd have been fierce rivals since Liverpool regained top league status back in 62/63 season. Although great friends Shankly and Busby had an intense rivalry between each other. Before winning the top league under Fergie Man U last won it in 67. Man City 68. These two teams have always had a fierce rivalry regardless of what divisions they ve been in.

I never said the Liverpool v Manchester rivalry was an invention of the Premier League. My point was that Manchester United had to look elsewhere for a proper rival as Manchester City were so poor on the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most posters will realise that in 1998/99 season when Manchester United won the treble and Manchester City scrapped out of League Two by the play offs that Man City were very much a wee diddy team. If Hibs are a wee diddy team then Manchester City WERE a wee diddy team. 1999 being the height of the gap between the two teams and a particular low period for City.

Going by that rationale, Hearts were a wee diddy team in the early seventies ! My point, if you try and think here, is that Man City and Hearts are not " wee diddy teams ", a phrase that shouldn't be used for any team. They are both clubs with a big history.

As John just posted, looking at it outwith a small era. That past failure is what makes the success all the more satisfying for Man City fans. They were in League Two struggling to even get out of that league and now they’re one of the favourites to win the Champions League. They absolutely love the shoe being on the other foot in terms of the Manchester football scene. The term ‘wee diddy team’ was comparative to what they are now. Hibs throughout my lifetime have always been the wee team in Edinburgh. Perhaps it’s a different perspective if you’ve lived through periods like the 1970’s.

alwaysthereinspirit Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 10 hours ago, luckydug said: Surely this games well worth £15 or £10 concessions. The chance to see our new striker plus the possibility of Soapy making an appearance at some point. Our injuries clearing up and the team getting back to some kind of normal. Plus we need to put that 5-0 result firmly in the past by dumping Livingston out the cup. It'll be money well spent imo. I am so hoping that the 0-5 game has been mentioned incessantly since they returned from Spain. Even to the point that Vanacek feels responsible for some of the blame.
