The water inside that is usually very tasty. I hope one of the players were quick to empty that.

Haven't seen that before. I had an Asian pal who used to refer to fellow Asians who were "white inside" as coconuts.

"That's me away to the fitba"
"Got everything?"

I mean, I get the empty Bucky bottle the other week... You finish your wreck the hoose juice, then heave the empty on to the pitch.
But who takes a fecking coconut to football, and why đ¤

I don't know for sure... but I'm guessing it wasn't a Hindu wishing good luck. The Edinburgh derby is more a Catholic/Protestant thing.

There isn't really. I live here remember! Large majority of Hibs and Hearts fans aren't Catholics for starters.

Just read this about Sir Walter.
He fairly lived and dreamed the romance of chivalry and the ages of faith, whilst all the time remaining a member of the Episcopal Church of Scotland. In the age he lived in, he could not contemplate the great sacrifice necessary for a Scotsman of his class and background to become a Catholic, even assuming that he really wanted to.
Nevertheless, although he tries to conceal it with the usual Georgian and Victorian prejudices against the Catholic Church, there is a constant, latent hint of sympathy and sneaking admiration for the towering strength and majesty of the Catholic Church and the fierce loyalty and courage it inspires in the best of its members.
