dc-jambo Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Quite surprised to see folk on here applauding the graffiti on that wall - hope they’re not part of the rabble responsible for it? anyway - good to see the plaque go up, to complenent the existing graphic. On Middle Meadow Walk - which has also been vandalised, on occasion, presumably by some of the earlier posters. But it has endured, and will again 👍

Aussie Jambo Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Hobos have **** all to do with Leith. I wish they would stop singing that stupid untrue song. The vermin are a south side team, same as Hearts. Hobos started at St Patrick’s church. The Irish contingent all lived in Dumbiedykes and South side area after the potatoes famine. Just in case you didn’t know. Hearts as you should know also started in the south side. Using the motif of the Heart of Midlothian in the royal mile.

Just in case you didn’t know. Hearts as you should know also started in the south side. Using the motif of the Heart of Midlothian in the royal mile. The thing is this: "While the Chief puts sunshine on Lochend" simply doesn't scan; although it could ... with a bit of linguistic dexterity. In fact, that would've been at least truthful ... and arguably more poetic. Why they don't embrace their true location with pride beats me. There's nowt wrong in acknowledging Lochend per-se. Mind you, they also have the delusion of thinking that, "This is our city", which begs the question: do they hanker after Leith as being a separate entity, or are they looking towards Edinburgh and, by extension, envious of Heart of Midlothian, and wishing that they were the dominant team? They are clearly conflicted. On one hand, they want to embrace the Leith motto of 'Persevere', but on the other lay claim to being an Edinburgh team. One or the other, but not both, surely? Anyhoo, apart from anything else, unlike Hearts whose stadium is located bang on Tynecastle, theirs isn't even on Easter Road. What's wrong with 'The Albion Place Stadium'? No shame in that, surely. We know that Edinburgh is OUR city, which makes their not so long ago marketing effort such a laugh ... Naw, it isnae ... Edited January 10 by Wee Mikey

But there was a huge Irish dispora coming through the port of Leith. Building and shaping much of Victorian Leith. I think it's more than fair, given their roots that Hibs are connected with the area. Not sure why you feel so strongly about it.

EIEIO Posted January 10 Posted January 10 23 hours ago, hughesie27 said: It really is appreciated weird choice to not mention the score. Obviously forced by Hibs given its a joint venture. Even restricted mentioning it in the article. Indeed, even the Hearts Standard article didn't seem to mention the score. Natural order begun at the Meadows and ,apart from the odd blip, continues to this day.
Colonel Kurtz Posted January 10 Posted January 10 The oldest Derby match in history The score is mentioned on my tours
Finbar Saunders Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Where exactly is it? Mate has a lockup on Meadow Lane at the zigzag bend bit where the Greek church is or was. Not been on a Sunday for a while so no idea if they still use it. Where would I find it from there.

That's not untrue. Dockworkers and labour.
Aussie Jambo Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) It’s nowt to do with Leith. Being a hearts fan in the south side tells me that. I know the history of both teams. It’s been talked about when I was a kid. Hearts & Hibs have more in common than that shite hawks in weegieland. Only difference is One was from Irish descent the other Edinburgh Scot’s. So basically Scotland v Ireland. Could say it was not long after the first international between Scotland and England in 1872. The first recognised Scotland v Ireland was in 1891 and Scotland won. So still reigning supreme. 16 years later Edited January 12 by Aussie Jambo
