Jambo1874 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 If he'd been fined we should have chipped into pay it as it was very funny.

Commander Harris Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 is even stating a fact with reference to hitler taboo these days? he did turn 13 that year, hibs haven't won the cup since then; I don't see the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prentice Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Have to agree with general consensus - what is offensive about that?

The Don Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Would the relatives of those who were killed when the Titanic sunk have been offended as well if Tanner had used that as a refference to how long it is since they last won the cup, by saying it wasn't even a blueprint at the time? Or mentioned that the great war hadn't even started. Only 1 complaint made, as i said in original reply it was probably from a Hobo, I'd put a bet on that.

heartgarfunkel Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I am totally bemused at what the problem is here. Stalin was 23, Churchill was 27 and FDR was 20. If he'd said Hibs last won the cup only 104 years prior to the last time Hearts had lifted it, I can see how that might have offended some of the weeteamsters.

The Mighty Thor Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Our chums in Lochend have never been that great at dealing with the facts and that's all this is. It is a fact beyond dispute that Adolf Hitler was 13 when Hibernian last lifted Scottish football's national cup. The followers of the wee team prefer to float around in a world where they taught Brazil how to play and getting horsed is acceptable as long as they played 'the hibs way' I can imagine some no mark frothing at the mouth spunking most of his giro phoning Sky to complain. it amuses me.
