Irvine Welsh Tweet

[SectionDJambo]

Hibs love him so much that they wouldn't let a scene in Trainspotting 2 be filmed on the Easter Road pitch. The film crew had to ask Hearts for permission to use Tynecastle instead, which we graciously agreed to.

[John Findlay]

Compare and contrast.

1998, we play against a team, who have just narrowly lost out on winning 10 league titles in a row, it's is their legend of a manager's final game(at the time), before he moves on. The game is being played at the ground of their fiercest city rivals. Heart of Midlothian have not won the Scottish Cup since April 1956, 42 years previously, yet the support have had to ensure losses four times since 1956. But against the odds they prevail 2-1 and the support are in raptures, total delirium. They do not invade the pitch, tear down the goalposts, and have fights with their opposition supporters, instead they witness their team being presented with the trophy on the pitch, and then parading it joyously in front of them. A day that went without a hitch or any hint of trouble.

 

 

2016. At last Hibernian win the Scottish Cup after a wait of ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN YEARS, in which time they have experienced defeats to the likes of Airdrie, and Clyde, and a record defeat in a final of 6-1 in 1972.

A second more humiliating defeat to their fiercest city rivals of 5-1 on the 19th of May 2012. In fact they have never beaten their rivals in a cup semi final or final.

The final whistle goes in 2016, and they have beaten a club who are contesting their first Scottish Cup.final, do their supporters celebrate, no they decide to run on the pitch, wreck goalposts, and go fighting with their opposition supporters. Do they see their side presented with the cup on the pitch? No. Do they see their side parade the cup in front of them? No.

Did they as a support **** it up? Yes.

That is why they will forever be in the shadow of Heart of Midlothian.

Suppose we will never get over United winning the cup in 2010 then. Holds the same relevance.

 

Or what about the last 3 out of 4 years. Don't think we will ever get over that.

 

Such an irrelevant team, you could flip his tweet and say the same about them. A night they aren't involved in but they are tweeting about us.

 

The truth is they will never ever ever surpass 2012. That was their chance, but in typical Hibs fashion they shat it and bent over. Forever Hearts' whipping boys.

[The Black Prince]

Has he written anything worth reading since Porno?

 

I did enjoy that. Fair bit of dross since then.

Can someone on twitter not reply this to him? 😁

[dazajmbo]

Guys a tube. He's written some good story's and books, and the bad character in almost all of them have been portrayed as a hearts fan. Its pathetic,  and laughable. 

 

He has always been jelous of us, 2012, everything about us he cant deal with.  

 

On another note, let them sing about us. I don't know why we sing about hibs in game against ross county, Motherwell,  Dundee utd etc. The funny element of hibs are falling apart again etc, has had its time. Lets sing about the famous who are playing right infront of us and leave the hibs chants for them when they are there.

Funny enough he gave that absolute scumbag wannabe gangster Bradley Welsh a part in trainspotting 2 and Irvine Welsh hangs around the hobo casuals like a bad smell.

I remember my hobo mate, his dad said that their club should have completely distanced themselves from the whole Bradley Welsh thing but instead they allowed a display to go ahead. 

Bizarre lot they are.

I don’t know who the characters in the film are but one of them is seen doing a knee slide on a football pitch, maybe during a dream. The gantry is clearly that of Tynecastle and the story was they asked Hibs first but were refused.

[Carl Fredrickson]

I have not watched the video but are our fans singing about folk that died of cancer? Players or staff being refugees? Songs about sisters of players who may have a disability? 

 

I would doubt it.

The guy getting his knickers in a twist about what  Hearts fans sing should maybe check out the fact that their fans sing about recently deceased Rangers players - and mock dead ex Hibs players????? Weird bunch.

May 2016. We weren’t even involved 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ suppose that’s due to that 2-2 result which clearly seems to be their greatest ever result against us. Try May 2012, we were both certainly involved that day 😂 throw in a few semi finals into the bargain anaw. A reminder of the gulf between us as clubs

[Bazzas right boot]

Tbf,  many on here do bang on about it -  a lot. 

Some posters bring it up at every opportunity and use it as a stick to beat Bob with. 

 

No question, It did break a select few,  the phoodle rabid gang being the poster boys for this and probably why he and others think what he does. 

 

The problem ( one of) is the phoodle gang that have banged on about this for years  are likely banned or don't go to Tynecastle and are made up of about 15 people,  a printer and a few dirty bed sheets. 

 

Add in the plane hiring goons and you begin to understand why eejits like Welsh think we haven't gotten over it,  when in fact we have and it's a small group of Robbie rabids that haven't. This group has always been an embarrassment in more ways than one and give clowns like Welsh a reason to believe what he does.
