Just want to say hello and ask what,if anything maybe not a good thing to post.
I´m a Hibs fan living in Germany for about 19 years.
With our Irish roots it would be nice to debate and take the mince with some Irish lads for a change and learn a little about Irish football.
All the best Craig:D
Speak tae mi:D
well you could start a thread by saying what great Oirish teams Celtic and hibs are. You're guaranteed a great response :)
OK.........................Hibs are a great Irish team.
Celtic are ok, but I´m not a Celtic fan so its hard to say anything good about a team I dont support.
You know what I mean:D
Or you could give the lad a chance and talk about football, which is obviously why he registered on the site.
As you live in Germany, Craig, what is the level of football like below the Bundesliga, and how many divisions of full-time professional football do they have?
There are 2 leagues.
The best of the 2nd league are Aachen........great to watch.
After that you get regional leagues.................same as Scottish 2nd, 3rd Div teams IMHO.
Aachen aint top, but the best to watch.
Whats it like with youre league m8.
get a sense of humour man. Jeez your inhaling too much illegal diesal fumes man :)Quote:

Whats that got to do with Aachen?????????:D
How are Cork City doing this year m8?
where to start........ our league is dominated (unfortunately imo) by theDublin Clubs. Its Either going to be us or Longford that will break the dominant teams. i'm biased but we have a chance this seasonQuote:

Dominated............now thats a word I know well as a Hibs fan:D
Wish youre team all the best.
I would be of the opinion that Hibs are a great Scottish team, who originally had links to Ireland and the Irish, whereas Celtic are a great Scottish team who made more of an effort to maintain those links over the years. But neither are Irish!
Both sets of fans, however, are amongst the best about (and I'm on about the genuine fans, not the barstoolers who think the clubs are more Irish than they are)
What sort of numbers do you get at a Cork game?
We average about 8000...........not a lot for a team 17 mil in debt.:mad:
Fair point DruggyDrog.
In my oppinion Hibs are a Scottish club with an Irish background.
No more no less.
But we are proud of the fact that the man who made Hibs what they are had a hell of a fight to do so. So yes we are a bit proud of our Irish roots........in a different sort of way than you may think...............hard to explain
we average around 4000 but that can go up to 9-10000 when the sun shines!Quote:

The way we play at the momment I would go for less than that next year.
By the way a plan for an Ireland tour is on in the summer............looking forward to it:D
Understand where you are coming from greenteam.
Pablo, I didn't know it was illegal diesel, thats why I have no control over my reactions!
The mighty Drogs have increased their average attendance from about 8 people to about 2000-2500, getiing better all the time. Not bad for a supposed yo-yo club (although we will shortly be entering our 3rd top flight campaign in a row, almost unheard of!!)
diesel sucks and petrol gives you a headache.:D
