Hearts Heritage Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 It?s not just being universally acknowledged and revered for teaching the world to play football that Hibernian FC have in common with Real Madrid. I believe the last time Hibs paraded the Scottish Cup they dropped it and the horses stood on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the last time Hibs paraded the Scottish Cup they dropped it and the horses stood on it. Also i'm led to believe that it was only after watching hibs win the scottish cup in such flair in 1902 that prompt a group of fans from madrid to set-up a wee team called Real Madrid !

colinmaroon Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm sure that Real Madrid were started by Roman soldiers of the VII Galbiana Legion inspired by Hibs winning the Cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ultraviolet Catastrophe Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Real Madrid haven't sold out their allocation in a big semi final either. Returning 3,000 tickets out of a 4500 allocation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambojase Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 9 European Cups. The most spanish league titles. I believe overall a better record in head to heads against Barcelona. To mention. No comparison to Hibs is valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The obvious answer is Benji surely? Used Hibs as a stepping stone to get to Real... Is he there just now? Always liked to talk about moving there when he was at Hibs, I assume he banging them in this season in all-white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the last time Hibs paraded the Scottish Cup they dropped it and the horses stood on it. While that may well be true I have discovered that we have never refused to play Hibernian but did refuse a friendly against Real Madrid - in 1926! If I remember correctly this info is found in Mackie's book, "The Hearts." The league games, Edinburgh Assoc games and cup games made it difficult to fit in a friendly against an unknown foreign side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
