I'm a Celtic fan, however always have soft spot for the Hibees fantastic video. I love your passion well done and I will be following your work. Thank you👍.
Celtic supporter here. I also used to go to Partick Thistle games with my uncle back in the early '90s, so I've stood in the away terracing at the old Easter road a couple of times... back when the old shed to our right was still heaving with Hibs casuals! 😆 My sister also moved from here in Glasgow to Leith in the late '80s, so I became familiar with the area and have always had a fondness for Hibs. I don't want them to beat my team, but I don't cry about it if they do 😀 One of my colleagues is a big Hibee, and Leith boy, so I'll send him a link to this video. He might not pay for an Internet service though, as he's a stereotypical Edinburger... as tight as two coats of paint!! 🤣🤣 Great video, btw - very enjoyable and informative 👍
Great video! The original pronunciation in English of "Erin Go Bragh" is Air-in Gu Braw. Really, such a great video I'm looking forward to checking out your channel! Thanks for taking the time to make such an informative video Jack
Great video mate was really interesting to find out more about where our club came from and I also loving the German football content as well as I’m a huge fan of it keep up the great work !
Looking at the dates on comments being a year ago, guess I’m late to arrive at party. Congratulations on a fantastic and enjoyable watch. 👍 My auld man hates football ( 22 men chasing a bag of air ).. sometimes I see his point, however, when you uncover the history and origins of a club it’s much more than chasing a bag of wind. You sir have nailed it.
Wee note - I was at the unveiling of the plaque that day and it was gifted by the St Patrick’s Hibs Supporters Association of which I am a member - not the Hibs Historical Trust as stated in video. Erin go Bragh
Edinburgh was the most populated city in Europe at one point they actually think the black plauge started there ..that was way before this thought it was pretty interesting tho
Thank god for Hibernian FC because it was from you brother Walfrid got the idea from Hibs to form a football club for the maintenance of the dinner table and Glasgow Celtic was born & the rest is history as they say
JackGillies1875 Get a hold of Alan Lugtons trilogy - The Making of Hibernian. The definitive record of Hibs origins and Irish social history in Edinburgh.
Peter Stephenson - out of print I’m afraid. Go for good money on ebay but able to read at the National Library in Edinburgh. The Gospel according to Hibs History. Question is - why not buy it when first published??
@@stephencarlin7867 I was only 12 in 1995 lol. But yes, it’s a huge source of frustration that I can’t get my hands on them. I’ll try the library, thanks 😊
The Irish came to Liverpool ....so much so, that we changed the accent and gave the world Everton FC ....however, that might not be so great to claim these days :P
I'm a Celtic fan, but the history of Hibs is built on good principles. The Celtic tour of the stadium actually mentions how Hibernian helped Celtic get founded. Think Dundee United were first called Dundee Harp, but they didn't want to many Irish influences in the league. That was a cracking watch mate 👍
Yes, the similarities with Celtic are obvious! The name Glasgow Hibernians was mentioned to Brother Walfrid! But he had other ideas! However, sorry to say, it's a VERY plodding video! You seem to be in a rush and also stifling burps? If you had just ate or drank something you should have waited at least an hour before going near a mic! Also, never say ' Don't quote me on that'! A life story requires proper research, you can't guesswork anything! No insult's intended! Thanks for the Celtic mentions even though they had to be there!😊
Hibs copy Hearts every time they can and it must come from your beginnings! Hearts founded 1874, Hibs founded 1875! Will you leave us alone! It’s getting creepy now! 😂
they dont fly one and never will,i think the one u are referring to is maybe the casuals flag which is in the same design as a union jack but its green white and black i think its just a statement from the hooligans that they are secular fans with no connection to ireland and maybe to differentiate between the casuals and ordinary fans,maybe even had slight right wing connotations as alot of hooligan groups did,i dont know any of this for fact its just my take on what it might be you would have to ask the guy who got the flag made and flies it,its in no way a representation of the support as a whole
Good video , but can't see how the founding of the club helped integration, it was a Irish club for the Irish in Scotland , also to play you had to be a practising RC , club was named after the Latin name for Ireland , the badge was Irish , yes sectarianism was rife , but Hibernian were part of it ,
Great video thank you for making it. How does the catholic/Protestant rivalry fare today? Are hibs now a secular team or is there still an Irish catholic identity like Celtic?
1st of all thank you glad you enjoyed the video 😀 to be honest both Hibs and Hearts have lost that part of their identity however there is a section of fans that keep it going (not that I condone it or support it) Hibs and Hearts is a rivalry mostly based on geography now
great video ( despite a few historical inaccuracies. Lugton has them as well ). you might be interested in archedinburgh.org/canon-hannan-the-priest-who-helped-found-hibs/ adapted from an article in the limerick leader last month

Thanks mate much appreciated
Brilliant all the best from Belfast ☘️☘️up the hibs
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video
Excellent video mate, worth also mentioning James Connolly was a ball boy for Hibs! GGTTH
I'm Celtic and have soft spot for Hibs. Great story. Well done.
No wonder, Celtic stole 11 players from them and nicked their hoops. 😂😂😂

Didn’t know that mate thanks It’s even better to know a supporters club handed it over
Amazing video mate . Learned a few things that I didn’t know. Really interesting. GGTTH 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Glad you learned something new and enjoyed the video GGTTH 🇳🇬
Absolutely incredible video.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍

Cracking video, mate. Great story teller. 👍💚
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed the video 💚💚
Celtic fan here, Very interesting ,ive a wee soft spot for Hibs🍀
Very slight correction in an excellent production. Hibs' founding father's name was Fr Edward Hannan.
Celtic fan here, always support hibs when playing the sevconians.
Thank god for Hibernian FC because it was from you brother Walfrid got the idea from Hibs to form a football club for the maintenance of the dinner table and Glasgow Celtic was born & the rest is history as they say
C'est tres be j. Mon Aimee.
Brilliant mate, love this👍
Cheers mate I'm glad you enjoyed it your support is much appreciated
Great video, sharpened up my knowledge of Hibs.
I love cabbage so much, they are the team for me!
The original Hibernian Park was in Bothwell Street - the second ground was the current Easter Road.
Again didn’t know that as most of the books I have read only ever mention Easter Road. Everyday is a learning day ae

Celtic and the Hib's, would: get along, as well; as poss_ABLE.
**From a Celtic, fan!!**
I enjoyed that mate 👍
Great video mon the HIBEES🇮🇪☘️
Would be good to see you do one on Partick Thistle, Queens Park or Third Lanark. Or Renton, the world beaters
Fascinating and sad ,now Happy. Xxx
More please. Thank you. Envigoeating. Riveting. Xxx
“Millions” of Irish never moved to Edinburgh. Not even to Scotland. Most moved to Glasgow.
My grandad Played for Hibs and I’m trying to find who to contact to look at some historical records. Do you know who I could contact please?
This video was so interesting as well
The Hibs historic trust are the best people to contact about former players
Fantastic 💚 GGTTH 💚
The Irish came to Liverpool ....so much so, that we changed the accent and gave the world Everton FC ....however, that might not be so great to claim these days :P
Everton will always be a great club, hopefully better days ahead
Very interesting that's what I love about hibernian ggtth
I'm a Celtic fan, but the history of Hibs is built on good principles. The Celtic tour of the stadium actually mentions how Hibernian helped Celtic get founded. Think Dundee United were first called Dundee Harp, but they didn't want to many Irish influences in the league. That was a cracking watch mate 👍
Thanks mate !! Glad you enjoyed the video
Dundee hibernians I thought maybe not
Dundee Hibernian 💚
Dundee was (dundee harp)
Dundee untied was (dundee hibernian)
Irish men who were not allowed play football because of their religion..so they set up their own club
Excellent 🇳🇬🇨🇮🏴 GGTTH
Newspaper reports back in the 19th century referred to Hibernians. Was that not the official name, was it always Hibernian?
Hibernian has always been the official name. I think it was more down to Victorian writing styles
The first to wear the hoops and don't forget it
May many Scots rediscover their deep celtic Christian roots...
I love Hearts

English love Fish and chips and Primark ☘☘🍀🍀Englishmen castle is a house built by the Irish
Talk about the ghost of Heart of Midlothian that haunts Easter Road! 😂 Stop trying to blame the Irish for your dire derby record! 😂

Hibs copy Hearts every time they can and it must come from your beginnings! Hearts founded 1874, Hibs founded 1875! Will you leave us alone! It’s getting creepy now! 😂
Hearts fc, the club for me. Hibs are so shit
Why do hibs fans fly a Union Jack? This will forever confuse me.
they dont fly one and never will,i think the one u are referring to is maybe the casuals flag which is in the same design as a union jack but its green white and black i think its just a statement from the hooligans that they are secular fans with no connection to ireland and maybe to differentiate between the casuals and ordinary fans,maybe even had slight right wing connotations as alot of hooligan groups did,i dont know any of this for fact its just my take on what it might be you would have to ask the guy who got the flag made and flies it,its in no way a representation of the support as a whole
Think it’s it’s to do with mocking the British flag putting it in green colours you see it a lot at game against the like Alf rangers and hearts
*of*

You've somehow managed to completely miss the point of this 40 minute upload. Unbelievable.
