Seats Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Don't agree, think Edinburgh is lucky to have two of the more interesting names in football. The dullest names are the ones names after towns - Aberdeen, Motherwell, Manchester (Utd & City), Liverpool etc. At least in Edinburgh and to a certain extent glasgow, they are a bit different!

WorldChampions1902 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Never mentioned wanting them out of busness. . Craigieboy, no offence was intended my friend. Heart of Midlothian IS The most romantic name in world football. I come from an upbringing at the tail-end of a belief that you took family members to their opposing teams home games when they played at home. In other words, when Hibs were away, members of my family came to Tynecastle and vice-versa. Changed days indeed.........................! As for Hibernian having a boring name, I beg to differ. And neither do they have a boring history - on the contrary. Read up on it M8!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Personally (banter aside), I don't rate their history as anything significant. That's not through ignorance.

'Hibernians' which subsequently became 'Hibernian' is a wonderfully Celtic name to which I'm sure many of us can identify because ultimately we are all Celts. Hibernian Football Club have a wonderful history, a fantastic tradition and a fan-base that tries very hard to match that of Heart of Midlothian Football Club. Edinburgh is lucky to have two such wonderful football clubs and long may they prosper !! It could have been three - whatever happened to St. Bernards ??

TheBigO Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I love being a Jambo for many reasons. One of those reasons is Hibs and, I guess, Edinburgh's football community. As a few guys on here have stated, we stand shoulder to shoulder at times, we both support Scotland (on the whole). We both have unique and important heritage and neither of us overstate it. We both let ourselves down off and on the park sometimes. I'm proud to be a Jambo and glad those rats (some family and friends included!) are our rivals Ps, I thought the OP's post was really funny until i realised he was serious!!

Gav Aitchison Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 It's almost onomatopoeia - hoof, hump, hibs. Quite apt really. I see what some above have said though. It's probably quite endearing to outside neutrals that Edinburgh has two clubs with unusual names, badges and colours - even if one set of them is guff.

Charlie-Brown Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Heart of Midlothian, Queen of the South, Saint Mirren, Saint Johnstone, Hibernian, Celtic are all great names, unusual and have some meaning behind them (even if we don't like some of those teams & their fans). Most teams are named after their location and/or place-of-work as well as adding fanciful united / city / town / wanderers / rangers / athletic etc to their name - there are hundreds of examples of these.

Duno, im from Musselburgh where its kinda split so i know as many hobos as i do jambos. It's always been banter rather than hatred. And i like that my grandad and uncles used to go to Tynie one week, Fester the next. They supported one team, but gave the other support. It's no for me, but i kinda get it! Funny though, i have to say if i see a hibby i dont know, then i do have a pang of loathing!!! I also have alot of mates who support Celtic and away from football they are great guys but i find it very hard to talk to them about football cos they are so closed minded. Definitely HATE the OF with a passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
