Edinburgh derby

[StColumba]

Hello

I am José Ángel Alonso and I live in Barcelona.
I went to Edinburgh lots of times, because I've got Scottish family living there. Of course, I was at Easter Road Stadium( Hibees 1 Stanraer 2, when Hibs was in First Division, two years ago).
I'm very interested in the classic Edinburgh Derby and the two great Capital clubs , Hearts and Hibernian.

Best Regards from Spain.

Hello Jose Angel, I am a Hibs fan who has lived in New York for 15 years. I started going to Easter Rd in 1963/4 and while I did not go to the game I used to have a programme for the Hibs V Barcelona match. I have not looked it up but I seem to remember that the score was 3-2 at home after a
4-4 draw in Spain! If you are a Barca fan you should not feel too bad though because a match I do remember going to was in 1964(October I think) when we beat Real Madrid 2-0.
I hope you are still around and I have not typed(slowly) in vain.

Dennis.

Looks like all you lovers of Edinburgh teams live abroad - must have been the standard of football that drove you away!!!!!!

It's really just indicative of the worldwide appeal in the case of Hibs but of course your point is well made with regard to the other lot.
