Very sensible! Is the Hearts/Hibs rivalry religious or historic?
@Geoffrey51 A bit of both I think. More so on the Hibs side. Hibernian FC playing in green shirts
@Moravian of course and if my schoolboy Latin memory is correct Hibernia is Ireland I think.
@Geoffrey51 Right on. The club was formed by the Irish community in Edinburgh, as was Celtic in Glasgow but they do not have the same religious bigotry attached to them as Celtic and Rangers have.
@Moravian Got it, thanks for the education ?
Second only, if not at least equal to, Celtic/Rangers I bet! ?

Not quite as vehement in their support, but not far off.
As I’m originally from Edinburgh, I can appreciate this article. We lived close to Easter Road, and my Dad supported Hibs. Then I went to work on the other side of the city at the N.B. Distillery on the Gorgie Road, right next door to Tynecastle, Hearts’ ground. There was definitely fierce rivalry between the two teams and their supporters. Hope this young fella is continuing to recover.

I love the tribal rivalry. I know it gets out of hand sometimes but the passion is real, unlike some situations in life. My team is Southampton and the big rival is Portsmouth which has its roots in the dockyards of the early C20th

Posted by MattHardyA Boris promise is just a lie that hasn't happened yet. Whatever Sue Grey says, no way is Boris going to admit he lied and resign.

Posted by HawkeyeNew to this group, thanks for having me :) Thought I would share something that has had my poor wee atheist brain turning for a few days (the article is a few days old).

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
