Gorgiewave Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 In my lifetime the record is 71 wins to 34 and 223 goals to 152. 4-0 at Hampden. It's difficult to hate a team that have been so kind to us. Griffiths, Riordan, O'Connor and Cummings have annoyed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I hope no-one include Tam McManus. He's hilarious. Point and laugh, by all means, but hatred would seem cruel to me. A feckin court jester of a Hibby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Very few (if any at all) have achieved anything of great significance over us to merit being ‘hated’. If you consider how they must look at the likes of Skacel, Hartley, Robbo for example then no one comes close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyBeach Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 In my experience, too many Hibs fans harbour a bitterness towards Hearts that I don’t feel is mirrored to the same extent from our side. I suppose the head-to-head results must inspire a sense of inferiority and resentment. That resentment found expression in Hibs players who were also Hibs fans: Riordan, Griffiths, O’Connor, Murray and others spring to mind. It’s natural we should dislike players like this in return. Personally, I always disliked the Hibs players I feared most. Having endured the 1970s, there were plenty examples… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I think it is very reflective of the difference between the two clubs in terms of success that a list of most disliked Hibs players is on the whole made up of horrible characters and not players that caused us grief on the pitch People like Riordan and OConner or Ryan Porteous Not many going for their 2016 players , except for the ones who were violent thugs like Stokes , or sexual assault enthusiasts like Fingers Bartley . No mention of McGinn for example If Hibs fans put together a similar list it would have people like Skacel on it for the damage he did to them on the park . A man who was spat at and called a refugee by their fans They dislike us because we are better than them . We dislike them because they are scum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay James Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 None, Hibs have given me so many great memories over the years I feel noting but pity for them. They, on the other hand, bitterly detest us so much that I think they hate us more than they love Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joondalupjambo Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I did not like Pat Stanton simply because he always seemed to play well against us.
