Didn’t realise David Marshall was still playing !

For Hibs, aged 39 as well

[Citizen's Nephew]

Yeah. Funnily enough, I've got an invitation to go and watch them via the other half of someone at the club (the full hospitality package....no...not like that you filthy lot). Never been there so I fancy it. Anyone been to their ground recently. Jimmy?

[life on mars]

Cracking keeper, safe pair of hands always be a hero in my eyes after that Leicester play off game, what a night that was

You been watching Scottish football again Tony ?

I suppose its a welcome relief after watching Cardiff?

Its been a while , Rangers fans aren't that welcome in Leith. Had a bit of bother in a pub there many years ago , ended up in the police station . Police very kindly took us back to the game after questioning , they put us in the Hibs end . That was an uncomfortable afternoon.

........ bit OT maybe but for some reason I don't really associate hooliganism with Scottish football ......not in the same way you do with english, french , italian football. Is there a "firm" culture in the Scottish leagues ?

Scottish football led the way in hooliganism unfortunately . Personally it almost affected my life path .
This was quite infamous back in the day

We didn't only fight with all away fans we fought amongst each other, wanting to be king pins at Ibrox.
It was a violent environment, that I was happy to leave .Judges were giving out big sentences to curb the violence.

Modern day Scottish football have their Ultras , well Rangers have , hopefully adding to the atmosphere rather than hooligans.

Where, exactly, are Rangers fans ‘welcome’

Ibrox.....

Anywhere you think Cardiff City supporters are welcome, other than Cardiff ?

Thanks for the reply earlier Jimmy. Appreciated. I'm going to take up the offer to go to Hibs. Not sure it'll be this season now but maybe one of their early matches next season. Scotland in August/September seems much more enticing than the winter months.

A massive firm culture in Scotland. Hibs are known as the Capital City Service.

Visited Easter Road a few times, worth the visit and the pre match experience is very decent with sn abundance of pubs around.

If with the wife, Edinburgh is easy on the eye although I do like Leith which is a lot grittier than the city centre.

Cheers, Jordi. Thanks for that. Yeah. Mrs C will be there. My friends live in Stirling. I'm really up for it to be honest. Never been to a match in Scotland but it's on the bucket list.

Yeah….lots! We aren’t perceived as bigots …which helps a lot.

We are not all buying into that nonsense.

Have you left Edinburgh?

One of the best cities about for a city break . Great vibe to it , did a bit of walking in the Pentland Hills early December on my way up North . Liked the look of the Christmas Markets so did an Easy Jet city break (great value) before xmas , watched Real Betis v Rangers in a West End sports bar with a fellow Rangers supporter (from Edinburgh), a Celtic supporter a Hibs supporter and a load of people who couldn't care less .
Do the castle and all the cheesy tourist places . You will love it.

Fully agree. Edinburgh is a great city to visit and got plenty to do.

I love Glasgow too as its got plenty going on but usually found in The Horsehoe, Pot Still and a whole host of other public houses.

Done quite a few Pollok matches and even ventured into Shettleston last year to watch Glasgow United. Ended up in a pub in Shettleston which was interesting and great people.

You and Jordi have sold the trip. Thank you both very much

David Marshall still playing and doing his bit for ‘Visit Scotland’ on this thread, versatility at its finest

[William Treseder]

What ever happened to Edinburgh Blue and Blue Jags?

[G rangetown Blue]

Yawn....

Eh?

A massive firm culture in Scotland. Hibs are known as the Capital City Service.

Some of the most serious disorder I’ve seen was at Barry Town V Aberdeen.

Hibs are nasty and been to two of their games

[William Treseder]

I went up to Easter Rd yrs ago to watch us play Hibs in a pre season friendly. Can’t remember the yr, but we got beat 2-1, Earnie scored our goal.It was feisty outside the ground for sure.
There was only between a 100 and 200 of us, but a police escort was required as all their nutters were out that day.
One of our boys stood near me had a burst eye,
Said he’d gone in a local boozer for a pre game pint and some Hibs fan gave him a doughboy before he even got to the bar 😁

[splott parker]

When we played Falkirk a few pre seasons back, there were pubs that wouldn’t serve City fans, very strange.

I was up for that game as well. They only had 3 stands at the time, and the ball got lost over a wall a few times during the game 😂
We also played Kilmarnock and Hamilton on that mini Scottish tour.
They were right shitholes !
