Diego10 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Is, in my opinion, the constant crap that fans of both Hearts and Hibs waste their time slagging each other about. If it's no the 'hilarious' Hobo/Yams & big team/wee team banter, it's us wasting our time on them selling their players or them exercising their advanced degrees in economics in telling us how our business model is unsustainable. I'm no saying there shouldn't be abuse of the Leithers, that's only natural of course, but most of it makes me want to poke my own eyes out with a rusty stanley knife. Can we no just forget about them, bar the 4 times a season we have to play them, and get on with our own issues, of which there are plenty? This might just be me right enough.

We've got a far superior head to head record, have won more trophies and (for my lifetime anyway) had more fans attending our games. No matter how bad things are we are still the big team. Do you really want us to stress over the state of our club constantly, not even have a litte break to look forward to something and laugh at someone else? Christ, you must be a right laugh.

I'm no saying there shouldn't be abuse of the Leithers, that's only natural of course, but most of it makes me want to poke my own eyes out with a rusty stanley knife. Can we no just forget about them, bar the 4 times a season we have to play them, and get on with our own issues, of which there are plenty? This might just be me right enough. For what it's worth mate, I agree with you - though I'm aware I'm maybe the only JKBer who does! Personally, I can't see what's so different now to 40 or 50 years ago: back then, there was banter and rivalry, but it was rarely nasty, and a good number of Jambos used to happily watch Hibs every other week too. What changed? Is it just that we live in an angrier world, or something? But while I'm all for banter and humour (for example, that brilliant "History of Hibernian FC" which was posted on here some months back: that was absolutely superb, and had me in stitches), so many of the jibes and insults now are just incredibly tiresome. Just my personal opinion though, before anyone jumps down my throat! On the whole "wee team" thing, the reason it makes me cringe it's because it's such a hostage to fortune. Such a claim needs to be backed with results all the time - yet the derbies have been pretty even over the past decade, Hibs are currently above us in the table, despite a shocking run of form and our enormous advantage in terms of budget, and they won a trophy more recently than us too, knocking us out en route. Moreover, it's frankly hilarious how many posters who've been going mental at Vlad over the past few months were also the first to goad Hibs fans with all that nonsense about the title, Champions League success and how we were now in a totally different league. Because since then, it's been downhill all the way... In sum: history tells us that when Hearts fans get too cocky, reality has a horrible habit of returning to bite us on the bum - and the reality is that, at present, Hibs are in the ascendancy: albeit in a contest between two bald men fighting over a comb.

Agree with most of this Shaun. Maybe it is a wimmun thing but I really do not understand this hatred thing. Hate is a strong strong word. Footie banter is brilliant, I love it. I am married to a hibby so I know for a fact that they are not all smack injecting caravan living persons. In fact he is an extremely well educated man, earns oodles and oodles of tax free cash and who gives me everything (well nearly;)) that Daddy used to give me before I married him. Basically what I am saying is I cannot get off on this hate thing. I am not very old, but even I remember when it was good old fashioned rivalry and banter, hatred is bad for the soul.

It's the lack of any proper hate that I like most about the current set of Hearts-Hibs jibes. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but I really love the fact that we're singing songs about big/wee teams, cup winning (or lack thereof) or funny shaped heads...rather than some of the venomous bile you hear between some other teams. It's amusing in a very basic way, but good humour is no bad thing and it's one of the reasons we get so excited about derbies. Yes, we go to watch a good game of football...but for me, it's almost just as much about the banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
