Craigieboy Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 It's been a while since I read his book so I've given it another shot as I only really skimmed it last time. In it he comes out with just about every hibs myth on the go (flair etc). But one thing that made me laugh last night was where he states that hibs are a much cooler club to support than Hearts. Hibs have the coolest fans & celebrity supporters & are generally viewed as the 'cool club' in Edinburgh. Who are these 'cool fans'? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flogel98 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Lets see..??? A cool club or a club that wins major trophies and has some credibility on the park? No, I just can't make my mind up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 In Russell Brand's book, 'Articles Of Faith' he said that Irvine Welsh said much the same thing to him.

redm Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Urgh. Describing yourself as cool has to be the least cool thing in the world. They're the collective version of that kid at the school disco who thinks he's Michael Jackson and likes to do impromptu solos on the dancefloor. Misguided at best I think. Someone might want to point out to Smith that at some point in Hibs' illustrious history, all of the bohemian warrior poets seem to have been replaced by scaffy kids in tracksuits with dodgy 'frosted tips' hairstyles who like to steal bins.

Where do you start?!! Irvine Welsh is the last person I would call cool, more, well just dirty. Maybe its the ex-addict look but I never thought cool is looking like you have just been dragged off the street (and its not even douchebag unkempt.) A classy man who named his band after the ibrox disaster. Plus his head is the shape of a testicle. As people say, if you have to keep telling people your club is cool then 99% of the time it isn't. Hibs fans live in a world where they believe this and try to tell people this. To suggest every other Scottish fan secertly wishes they had chosen to support Hibs is delusion beyond belief, one of these days I would love to see Welsh try to brown nose a celebrity, try to be their friend, then go on with his Hibs myths only for the celebrity to open his jacket, show his Hearts top and tell him to gtf.

Tommy Wiseau Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Three points: 1) Craigieboy has read - and re-read - known Hibee Aiden Smith's book, presumably knowing that he will mention Hibs in some fanciful fashion and it will annoy him. How odd... 2) Aiden Smith has clearly never rocked by my way in Tynie, or he would know that his statement is factually incorrect; 3) There is nothing cool about failing to win a national cup competition since 1902.

Bad enough when the Proclaimers hideous visages appeared onto my screen, much to my stomach's discomfort, only to followed by what can only be described as a contender for ugliest man in Scotland....in Victorian times Welsh would be locked up just for looking like that!!
