Craigieboy Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hope it helps raise more funds for Erskine. I recall that the photo on the mural was actually taken just outside the current main stand. It has a cat in the photo. Pehaps someone can confirm/correct me. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for that thread, it is daft, I think there are some (a very small minority) fans who use it as a way to get one over the Hibs and that is wrong. But I think Hibs could do more with remembrance as many Hibs fans were in the same regiment as the Hearts players and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 I would assume their memorial towards WWI will start around the time most other decent people in the UK take a moment or two to reflect on the lives given up in the first World war. There are some really petty threads started with regards to having digs at Hearts but this is up there as one of the worst imho! Well done to the hibs fan who posted this. It would be nice to see an end to petty sniping concerning remembrance day traditions. To use such a thing to take the piss is just low imo. Very low. .

I.J Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 It's because they're wearing Hearts tops, and we're Hearts. If it makes you feel better though, it's because those in charge at HMFC think we won "the" war. The only ever war. Remembrance Sunday is only about one war, of course. F*cks sakes, man, c'mon eh?
