  1. The Hearts were broken. Sorrow, sorrow.
  2. Hey Craig, how many medals have you won in your career now?
  3. We are all Cove Rangers on this blessed day.
  4. Unsure about the actual capacity, but the record attendance was 65,860 in 1950. That makes it the highest Scottish attendance ever outside of Glasgow. It’s also higher than Liverpool or Leeds have ever managed for a home game. To put it into perspective, if it had happened this season, I believe only Man United, Tottenham (at Wembley), Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and Barcelona would have seen a higher crowd in the whole of Europe.
  5. I'm not sure about Glasgow, but in Edinburgh, they use the old post box at Waterloo Place as the centre point of the city. So as the crow flies from the determined centre of Edinburgh to each stadium's centre circle: Easter Road – 1640m (1.04 miles) Tynecastle – 3260m (2.03 miles) So as well as being roughly twice as close to the centre of Edinburgh, Hibernian are also closer to the actual Heart of Midlothian than Heart of Midlothian FC are.
  6. In an age where clubs are increasingly knocking down their old grounds and building generic stadiums in out of town industrial estates, one of my favourite quirks of Easter Road is that it's sandwiched right in the thick of it all, surrounded by beautiful old churches and sandstone tenements.
  7. Kamberi and Maclaren’s agents dropping hints again. Pleasing.
  8. RIP Shades. Part of the Turnull’s Tornadoes, won the League Cup in 72, and played in the 0-7 against Hearts. Great player for Hibs and quite the tragedy.
  9. Hibs reaching the absolute pinnacle of coolness with the Germany Italia 90 style tracksuit in 1989. And a couple of bonus Adidas adverts:
  10. Absolutely shameful singing about an innocent family member like that tbf. For all we know Daryl Horgan Snr hung up his gun years ago
  11. Well-dressed Hibs fans at Easter Road watching their team against Falkirk, 30th September 1958.
  12. If that doesn’t happen, then of course you’d be serious contenders for the league. But then again, if my auntie had baws, she’d be a Hearts fan.
  13. It’s someone’s concept of what Pittordrie could look like if it were to be redeveloped.
  14. Saw this on twitter. Don’t know if it would be physically possible, but looks the dogs bollocks.
  15. A few of us at a BBQ cracking out our favourite cheese jokes. “What cheese do you use to disguise a horse?” My friend pipes up quick as a flash and confidently says “Oh, oh I know this one... Horse Cheese.” Not the sharpest tool in the oven.
  16. 20,205 when we scudded Sharts in the Scottish Cup replay is the highest we’ve had.
