GreekVirus Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 By the way, all this time I'm here and talking to you guys, did it even come to your mind that I'm 15 years old? 😅. A lot of people say I'm too mature for my age so that's why I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the flag got returned. There were no flags allowed on the fence. All flags were draped over a section of the seats right beside the entrance/exit. I actually thought the PAOK fans I met before and after the game were decent. Even to the extent of wishing us good luck at the game. Can honestly say I never encountered their ultras though. After the game had finished, their players did a full lap of honour to great applause by the home support. As they walked around the ground towards the away end where all the the Hearts fans were, we joined in the applause and gave the PAOK players a standing ovation. This in turn made the PAOK fans stand and applaud us and then a few of the fans swapped scarves through the fence. It was definitely not as bad as things were made out to be albeit a few isolated incidents occurred. I would like to add that when PAOK play the sheep then I’ll be a full on PAOK fan for the two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F knows where jambos came from. I think (before my time) that Jambos came from Rambo Jambo which wasn’t a very nice way of describing our style of play but I’ve had a busy day, including lots of gardening and beer in a very hot Midlothian sun so could be talking pish😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been following hearts since early 60's when we were known as the jamtarts,which obviously rhymes with hearts and a jamtart is a biscuit with a heart shape in the middle,the term jambo, I think just sort of crept up on us,and is fine with our support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perth to Paisley Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) I personally dislike it and never ever use it as a descriptor! In her book '1979' Val McDermid uses the term but I thought it started much later than that. Her research is usually very good though Edited September 9, 2023 by Perth to Paisley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my assumption anyway. No idea of it’s origin though as I’ve always referred to myself as a jambo and just aligned it with our jam tarts nickname.
