parkakid Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Class, pure class, exiled Jambo living abroad at the minute and have been feeling a little sad that I missed out on the ER party on Sunday. Would NEVER miss a game down that way but obviously couldn?t get home for it so instead spent the last few days scratching around the net for clips and photos of the goals and fans. But reading the pure misery of those Hibbys has cheered me up more than I can say, thank you one and all, you pathetic Hibby ba@@ards for cheering me right up!

fatboythree Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Correct. Promotion in 1983, under Wallace, was a huge turning point we, as yet, have not looked back from. Prior to that and Hibs were the dominant team for nearly 20 years. God knows how I survived through school and early adulthood. Lots of us did Dave and still are here Plus all our victories are x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have no interest in the Hibs.net thread but going on what has been said here: I was lucky in that when I attended my first Hearts v Hibs league games in season 83/84: we began a period of domination over them that has only briefly been interupted in 25 years. I was too young to appreciate it at the time, but for me, beating hibs and being better then them was something I just took for granted; all be it with a a lot of pleasure. But it is worth remembering that before my time, Hibs were the better team in Edinburgh for around 15 years previous, and add to that their good teams they had of the late 40s and early 50s (although Hearts had a good 'head to head' record). For me, the 80s and 90s was nearly always Hearts dominating. This decade has been closer, but Hearts have still held the upper hand. Three league titles in just five years just after WWII aside, Hibs, for a long time were a good team without ever winning too many trophies. They had some great nights in Europe and a vast stadium but in reality, our Ibrahim Tall has more to show for his time at Hearts than any member of 'Turnbull's (self-styled) Tornados' of the 70s. I was one month embryo when we lost seven at home in January 1973. Ten years later I was ready for my first 'proper' derby and it was all systems go for an era of Hearts lording it. Mind you, it was a crappy nil-nil draw that day. Buffalo Bill . My first derby was early 90's with a certain Alan Johnston smashing the ball into the roof of the net past bandy legs. However, I'd enjoyed several derbies before then on TV(!) and would go on to enjoy Mr Foster scoring and wave my fist as a 'young' teen, in a giruy motion to my Rat neighbour who arrived at my door a few minutes later. As far as I'm concerned those Rats go on about a game that most of them were not alive to see or read about as if it is some glorious triumph in their history. I can look back to numerous 1-0, 2-1 and 4-0 matches and the like.. but I'll never tire of looking at the matches mentioned below!Or even the 3-2'Pub Team' match. What can those Rats look back at... rare triumphs... 5 in a row..... Already a beaten side for the next derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Aitchison Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The complete dominance of the 80s and 90s is still being felt psychologically. Their failure to sell-out for Sunday's game was incredible, and just shows that basically they still dread derby-day (and get only occasional joy) whereas we relish it (despite the occasional mishap).

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 1. Impressive self-delusion (from SvenNeil's post): "We are and always will be better than hearts in every way. We just have to feel it every day.". Aye, right. 2. Know your enemy. .... it comes down to managers. We have a guy who can instil hope in us. They have Mixu. Shouldn't this read "They have a guy who can instil hope in us. They have Mixu." Mixu must stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshallschunkychicken Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Someone doesn't really get the point that Lyonhibs is making in the OP.... Heraghty's 'S' Form Join Date: Sep 2008 Posts: 43 Ah, well, I suppose amid the gloom nobody will be in the slightest interested in this official announcement: Ukio Bankas AB Notification on material event 13.01.2009 Regarding the Bank of Lithuania results of inspection and supervisory review and assessment of AB Ukio bankas As of 8th of January 2009 the Board of Bank of Lithuania in respect with results of inspection on Ukio bankas, accepted the resolution that Ukio bankas has to strengthen its capital base and limit the growth of certain risky assets. The deviations indicated in the inspection report should be eliminated by Ukio bankas up to the 1st June 2009. Arnas Zalys, Head of Finance and Risk Management Department ELIMINATED you say? Quite amusing to see him get smacked down for it too. I love it when they bicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo191 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Haha this is delicious from Country-Hibby from .troutnet :108years: 'That is a great OP and I don't like it at all, to honest. My comeback to my Jambo mates since Vlad came into town has unsurprisingly been centred around selling players, going bust, etc. The truth is for all the 'head in the sand' jibes I've made, it's me that's been hiding from the facts - we are not as good as Hearts. Sunday was not a one off, they have consistantly been the better team in the 25 years I've been following Hibs. Whats more, when the games REALLY matter - they show us who is better. 6-2 aside, I can't remember Hibs winning the fixture by 2 clear goals. I don't want us to go down the massive debt route, the Mercer era is still clear in my memory, lets never forget that if it wasn't for STF there would be no Hibernian FC at all. We do need a change of culture at the club though, getting by has been good enough for too long. We need an executive, a management team and players who feel real pain when they don't win. It's too easy at the moment for them, fans expectations are so low that success isn't essential. We can't keep selling ourselves short, we are one of the top five teams in Scotland, we should be bringing home silverware more regularly than 1 cup every 15 years and Hearts should be our competition not our executioners' Here's the link if you want to see replies he got..... http://www.hibs.net/message/showpost.php?p=1904902&postcount=24 It feels sooooooooo good!!!

Fulham Jambo Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Not you.I was referring to the guy that posted the thread on yon web site,if someone on here talks sense about how bad Hearts were they get acused of being hobo trash. I don't give a scrotum how bad we were or not on Sunday. The result is all that is important - you lost - we won with a 2nd string midfield in YOUR BACK GARDEN MATE the problem you hibernians have is that you are so obsessed with the speck of dust in our eye that you do not see the plank of wood in yours - ie - your manager is gash, your players are gash, your chairman, whilst cautious with his books, seems content to indulge the gash manager and gash players. Hibernians would be better advised to care about their own team rather than how our finances are shaping up or not. As to us being poor on Sunday - well, as I said, we WON and the most important thing to do is to win a game. You lot seem tho accept losing provided you play ...what is it....silky attacking football??? well my son you don't even do that these days rather try and kick your opponents off the pitch by cheating....pots and kettles get your own house in order before coming on here to preach at us:108years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8hibsh Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 At least they had floodlights first and they do have a splendid balance sheet, eh chaps? How can you forget that they were the first team to wear green! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
