Some fantastic memories on the "relive a match thread". So this time, what if you were allowed to wave the magic wand to get a second chance for one particular moment - a re-take if you like, hoping for a different outcome?
Just the one chance - one match, one moment.
Must be loads, but which would have had the biggest potential impact on Hibs or you personally?
Bobby Duncan’s piledriver of a strike to open the scoring against Napoli.
Cummings penalty against Hamilton maybe give it to someone more experienced though don’t suppose it would have mattered better team won we win as a team lose as a team.Quote:

Failing that, Cummings' shot going in instead of hitting the bar in the playoff semi final at Falkirk.
Yep- Has to be this!Quote:

Not sure if we’d have gone on to equalise or not, but certainly wouldn’t have been the humping it was.
Considering where we are as a club atm you maybe wouldn't want to go too far back
Recent ones could be MacLaren's 2 misses against Aberdeen I suppose
Score and we may well have won, he also probably wouldn't have been dropped for the derby
Imo our lineup was all wrong in that game and playing with 2 up top would have drastically increased our odds
I think if we beat Aberdeen we'd have been favourites for 2nd
May well have still been a humping tbh, that team was rotten and incredibly mentally fragileQuote:

Oddly enough, it is a game I didn't go to. I was listening to the 10 men derby game on the car radio in the wilds of Scotland when Gaz scored the winner. I went totally ballistic. Probably more than I would have had I been at ER.
:partyhibb <-- me. :crazy:
It wasn’t even a foul, so shouldn’t have been a booking or a sending off. Clear dive if you can bare to watch it again!Quote:

Scottish Cup semi vs Celtc at Ibrox in 1995. Game at 0-0 heading into the last couple of mins and Jim Leighton has just saved Andy ****er's penalty. Hibs, who have been pretty ***** all game, come alive. Darren Jackson slides a shot just wide and then, as we go into injury time, Pat McGinlay has a rasping shot from about 25 yards that instead of clipping the outside of the post, goes just inside. First division Airdrie await in the final and we murder them, stopping the clock at a mere 93 years!
What about a straight red in the first minute to Ian Black for elbowing the back of Sparkys heid?Quote:

This one def on my list although had he scored, what would the longer term impact have been, other than a mentally joyous moment/night?Quote:

Aberdeen or Hearts game in the post split fixtures.
We'd have finished 2nd if we won up at Pittodrie IMO and third if we never gave away schoolboy defending goals vs hearts
Not a match moment, but what if Celtc didn't poach Jock Stein in 1965?Quote:

That 2-2 against Celtic at Easter Road last season.
After being 2-0 down, bringing it back to 2-2. Imagine what it would have been like had Shaw’s shot to make it 3 in the last minute not been cleared off the line? Imagine the scenes after being 2-nil down, to go on and end the ‘Invincibles’ streak in such a manner?
If only Lustig had been a few inches to the right..,
Lately, either McGregor would have put his foot through it at Tynecastle or Whittaker's header would have gone in against Rangers. Probably the latter, 4-0 inside 25 and I think we'd have done it, as opposed to being 3-1 and all over.
Bit further back, Rocky's header in the cup against Aberdeen would have gone in.
And way back, probably two involving Scott Brown in 2006/07. If he hadnt missed when clean through in the League Cup game we'd have mbttered then instead of only winning 1-0, and his chip cleared off the line against Dunfermline in the semi final replay. A double that year would have been one of the only ways to better how we ended up winning the thing.
Paco Luna's header
MacLaren's penalty at Pittodrie
John Collins starting lineup in the SC semi replay against Dunfermline
Ivan's shot that came off the post in the first leg against Dnipro
Just what i was going to say:flag:Quote:

Same goes for beating Hamilton in the relegation play off. Yes we might have stayed up, but I don’t think 4 years later we’d be in the place we are now.
I’d maybe just go for Maclaren retaking his penalty against Aberdeen recently.
Or going back to just before Aberdeen’s 3rd goal in last seasons cup semi.

In the home European game against Liege, Goram not running up and instructing Houchen to put his penalty in the opposite corner.
The Aberdeen semi last year is a good shout actuallyQuote:

Very good shout - I echo that. Completely forgot about Goram running up though. I think it was Alan Sneddon who won the penalty after a mazy - run - charge that started back in defence. It was a poor kick by Houchen to the goalie's right at waist height which was easily palmed away round the post. Score that and I am still convinced we would have won the tie and gone through and got through at least one or two more rounds of the UEFA Cup that season.Quote:

Another missed penalty. John Collins in his last game before moving to Celtc for £1M. Missed a very late penalty in the last game of the season at home to Dundee in May 1990. Finished 0 - 0. A win would have given secured a European place for the second season running.
Not sure it would have prevented what was to unfold a few weeks later though.

Whitty's header just before the huns pulled a goal back on the last day of last season.
This. Or at least after the corner everyone get back in their positions instead of head in hands stuff. Should have sealed them out for the rest of the half then gone again second half.Quote:

First season in championship at the bus shelter, only the 2nd game. Started the game well and deservingly rewarded a penalty in the first half. Up steps Liam Craig, a stupid run up and the 18 year old reserve keeper makes an amazingly easy save. Score that and we’d have won that game and I’m not saying the outcome of that season might have changed but I don’t think there’d have been the gap that there was.

Then there's the Hamilton 2nd leg, but it all ended up ok. Might not have gone the same way if we'd stayed up.
From a purely selfish standpoint I'd probably say the Brondby penalty shoot out. I live in Berlin so drawing Hertha in the next round would've been unreal.
But overall I'd have to agree with the AEK Athens shout. Imagine if we'd finished that off.
Has to be Paco Luna scoring that header in the last few minutes against AEK, no contest. The atmosphere that night was unbelievable and not many games have beaten it since, imagine how much better it would have been if we’d have won.
Fully aware of that, Onion. I wasn’t actually complaining that gray’s goal was too early!Quote:

Often wonder if fenlon would have left if we had beaten hearts in the cup that night. Don't think i have seen us pummel them so much than that first 30.
It's an interesting thought, what would have happened if Thomson had given nothing for the Kujabi-Suso incident in 2012. We had pulled a goal back just before half time but they started the second half at 100MPH.
Would they have continued as they were and got a couple more, or would we have settled and potentially gotten an equaliser? Sadly, we'll never know thanks to that prick.
Tbh, i wouldn't replay that game for anything. They can have their 5-1, the team that rose out of tge smouldering rubble and won it in 2016 DESERVED it.Quote:

I wouldn’t change anything prior to winning the cup. It kind of feels like we had to go through all the rubbish we did to eventually win the thing. The Ross County game for example, I just can’t help feel we wouldn’t have had the same desire to win if we had already won the League Cup.
So I will go with the 5-5 Rangers game, and have Whittakers header go in.
this one for me too.Quote:

I have to say in terms of a re-take i would choose a different Pen taker for our game at Aberdeen not too long ago. Had we converted that pen Aberdeen would have fell to bits and it would have been a real thrashing for them. Kamberi would have been a better option but never mind we turned the city green regardless.
agreed the linesman blundered and we won the 2nd leg game...Berlin was waiting to be invaded by HibeesQuote:

I'd have stayed at home and avoided both a 5-0 humping... and being punched on the side of the head in Princes St after the game, thereby not having ringing noises in my ear for two weeks afterward.
Just remembered one, Marciano's last minute header Vs Aberdeen in the cup semi
Was a pretty poor header but can you imagine the scenes if it went in...
This. If it wasn’t for that East Fife hack on JB we genuinely could have won the league that season.Quote:

That might not necessarily have been the best outcome though as we may never have seen wee Russel or the majestic Sauzee.
If my memory serves me well, it wasn't so much a bad tackle as an unfortunate one.Quote:

If I was a cynical man :rolleyes: I would probably have thought there was some kind of agenda at the time. :whistle:
