The rugby ball being thrown onto the pitch from the East Stand during an Edinburgh derby at Easter Road a few years ago. It was around about the time when Hearts were looking at moving to Murrayfield just before Romanov came along and "saved" them.

The timing of the rugby ball landing on the pitch was genius, it was during a break in the play as Craig Gordon went to fetch the proper ball from the touchline and the crowd was pretty silent. Then the "thud" of the rugby ball hitting the turf and Plukey throwing off the pitch rugby style! Brilliant!

And then the next day in the papers there were photos splashed on the back page of gordon looking as if he was running with the egg. worked perfectly

[QUOTE=The Crippler;2160648]There was a game at home to Airdrie in the early 90s, one of those typically brutal ones where you were guaranteed a red card or two. Anyway, an Airdrie player was injured in front of the East Terrace and their physio had to come on. As he ran on, he shoulder-barged Pat McGinlay (may have squared up to him but memory is vague there) which angered the nearby fans who booed him as he gave treatment. Instead of being intimidated by this, the physio walked the long way back to the bench past all the Hibs fans, eyeballing them all the way as he took the abuse. It was funny but maybe because I was separated from this psycho by a fence.

Couple of other things also from the 90s:
End of season game and Hibs youth players are sent out at full time to thank the fans with a piece of printed card each. Not sure the message "HTAKN YUO" was what Hibs intended but it seemed to fit the shambolic nature of our club at the time.

Also remember a game where Mickey Weir pulled St Johnstone fatty John McLelland's shorts down. Don't think he got booked for it. How the game has changed...[/QUOTE]



McLelland(7"6) then turned to Mickey(4"11) and gave him a kiss


A BIIIG thank you to all the pedants also

Its a wee bit hard to remember but I have a couple

We played Dundee Utd in 2003 at ER in a 1-1 draw and frankly it wasn't the greatest performances ever, but a guy sitting a few rows behind me picked on Craig James from the moment the game kicked off till the moment he was subbed.(He actually continued 5 mins after but you get the idea) He was initially being an erse but after about 30 mins into the game, He started to say some pretty funny things. It was early in the second half and he just blurted out

"CRAIG JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DON'T CROSS THAT ****ING BALL THEN I'M GONNA CHOP YOU UP AND FEED THE JUICY BITS TO MA DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I was 10 at the time and it was bloody hilarious

A couple of seasons we played Sellick at ER and the guy sitting a few seats away from me picked on a few of the celtic players and just shouted

"BORUC, CALDWELL, HARTLEY, SAMARAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUMMER TRANSFER TAE BUM BOYS UNITED FC! JUST SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE! YE'LL BE PAYED IN COCK! YA PRICKS!

It was something to do seeing as we were losing the game, it livened a few up the the Famous Five thats for sure!

[iwasthere1972]

In about 1983/84 I queued for about 20 minutes on the east terracing for pies for me and the bruv. I was not a happy chappy when I found out when it was my time to put in my much awaited order they only sold match programmes.

he was a complete bampot.the game you are thinking of was 4-1 hibs with a willie irvine hat-trick, and he pushed the linesman because there was a hibs player lying injured about 30 yards out (playing john brogan onside ) when st johnstone scored at which point tommo lost it despite us being about 3-0 up at the time !!!.
dont think he ever got a look in after that.

I remember it as Arthur Duncan lying flat out in the opposition 6 yard box after a Hibs attack (Dunbar end) the ball was cleared into Hibs half and Hibs returned the ball into the opposition half only to be flagged offside as Arthur was still lying flat out

mind you the old memory occasionally plays up

A certain Mr McCoist,playing for Killie.

after yonks of getting "who ate all the pies"......scores

He ran all the way down the East Stand,with his shirt up patting his belly,and grinning like a cheshire cat....I wasn't the only one who laughed and gave him a clap

[Auckland Hibs]

Gazza booking the ref after he dropped his yellow card at Ibrox a few years back, the ref in-turn booking Gazza (what an erse).

Game at Dunfermline a few years ago, a long high diagonal pass in defence which was going over Willie Millers head (no-one within 30 feet of him). Rather than letting the ball sail over his head and out for a throw-in, he jumped up and caught the ball. Second yellow card and off the park, what a plum.

Sitting at Ibrox having the usual “banter” with the friendly locals sitting over the steward wall. One particular hun was giving it the big-one to the hibs fans, he had a black eye and one of the hibees shouted….”sit down and shut-it you fat-hun-cant or you’ll get another ****ing black-eye”…..even the other huns around the bloke where pissing themselves laughing.

A few years ago during one of our away trips in the Scottish Cup with the IEC bus (think it was Montrose), Dickie jumped the wall and started warming up with the subs during the game, brilliant!

That was the Aberdeen fans
Fairly humerous bunch

Indeed

Remember a season or so back the East singing 'You're just a bunch of sheep sh*****g bas***ds'

Back from the Aberdeen end came 'We're just a bunch of sheep sh*****g bas***ds'

It shut us up

Fair play to them

A Boxing Day game in the 80's at home to Rangers. Hun dressed in a santa suit in the Dunbar end before such outfits were ten-a-penny. Wee laddie in front of us in the East Terracing says "there's santa" to dad who pretty much ignores him. Later in the game Hibs score and "Santa" doesn't take too kindly to the goal and is promptly lifted. Same laddie says to his dad with some concern "Santa's getting arrested". Dad replies "that's no the real Santa, santa's no a protestant!" Doubled over the barrier laughing.

That was a cracker. IIRC the rugby ball actually hit the football just before Gordon was about to take a free kick and knocked it off the spot he'd placed it on?

Not quite, I think it just bobbled in front of the ball and he had to boot it out of the way in order to take thier free kick. It was just the way the stadium had gone relatively quiet and you could hear the rugby ball's 1st thud off the turf Truly genius timing!!!

The usage of the phrase "you complete trumpet" by a mate at Killie away last season will live long in the memory!!

In a peverse way, the funniest thing I have ever seen at ER was Ian Brines refereeing performance at ER against Morton in the CIS Cup.

Celtc or Hearts would still have a case lodged with the Court of Appeals if they'd been on the end of that display.

[hibs0666]

Was sitting in the front row of a pretty deserted old south stand with my brother at a game versus celtic. It was a midweek game and there was maybe 100 people in and maybe 90% of them were sellik.

I think hibs were winning and my bro was giving it the fatso to two or three mankies, including one really fat celtic-top-wearing bearded bloke who was getting particularly irate at the wind-up.

Anyhow the steward saw what was going on and got the polis up to give us a row. However we, politely but firmly, made the case that it was the home end, and fat celtic supporters shouldn't be there. On considering the evidence the polisman then wandered up the wooden stairs to give fat beardy boy a row instead. And my brother was one step behind the polisman, still giving it the fatso to a jist-aboot-greetin fat beardy boy who had to just sit there and take both the row and the gestures.

Anyhow Hibs survived a massive onslaught to win 2-1 I think, and we had to come out with all the tims leaving from the Dunbar End, walking along the pavement towards the Albion Bar. One of them, obviously disappointed at losing to the original greens and recognising my brother as the wind-up merchant of his fellow brethren, decides he's going to run across the road and have a swing. What he didn't notice were the railings at the edge of the pavement between us and him.

You can probably see what's coming - shame for the boy he didn't as he just about took his own kneecaps off.

A win over that mob - magic. A win plus a top wind-up - classic. A win plus a wind up plus a fhanny making a fhanny of himself - priceless.

There was a guy lying sleeping across 5 seats in the East Stand last season, I'm sure it was against the Yams as well, I know Mixu's football wasn't the best to watch but I thought that was taking things a bit far!

[Hibiza]

Being hitn with a pie in the face from the east enclosure. Scored 2 in the 2nd half. (rip0

John MacDonald (hungers) being fouled in the centre circle and diving for a penalty.

[proud_and_green]

Not unique, but...,

A guy pee'd down the back of my mate's legs in the old east terracing in the early 80s late 70s. How we laughed and stood away from him and his stinking wet legs!!!!

Actually i think that was the same game that he got hit on the back of the head with a pie aimed at someone on the park but which dropped short!!!

Lucky white heather!!!

[hibbymark]

The look on a blokes face a couple of years ago when he realised the que for derby tickets went all the way from the albion bar past the ticket office then snaked down the full lenth of the west stand(both sides). he shouted"this is ******* ridiculous bring back williamson"

didnt have the guts to say anything when i watched him walk down the road still moaning as he joined the que for these silly ristbands!

[franco]

For me has to be the league cup final we player rangers at at parkhead when all the band were being booed and coined lol
Best thing for me that day was when i walked in well staggered i think and saw a huge flag with the words- richard gough - simply the beast on it brought a smile to my face.

Tortolano breaking clear of everybody on the left-wing, just had to keep running towards the goal for a great chance of scoring.

In his excitement he took the ball too near the touchline and it ran out for a throw-in.

Well it's funny now but he still got pelters.

Haha .. I saw that. At the time I reckon he just lost his bearings cos he ran it out after he'd done all the hard stuff I loved him though .. The best crosser of a ball I've ever seen (no wind up)

What it says on the tin.

The first thing that springs to mind is the Home game vs AEK Athens. I was sitting with my Dad, Uncle and cousin in the west when we spotted a guy in the AEK support sporting a giant bananna suit...

They were giving us pelters for the first 15 minutes or so and a few hibees gave them some back - friendly banter at most. Until......... AEK scored, I felt gutted, totally and utterly gutted. The whistle blows, flag goes up - offside.

Ha ha, we started winding them all up as they had been doing to us, the bananna man was going mental, shouting and jumping (well more like bouncing) up and down and the silly bugger slipped and toppled down onto the seat in front - I nearly had to leave there and then to change my underwear

I had this totally surreal image of a guy in bananna suit slipping and falling forward onto the row in front of him for ages - probably one of those "gotta be there" to find it funny type things, but comical none the less.

Benny coming back on to the pitch Terry Butcher style with a mega bandage wrapped round his head after suffering a head knock and with about his first touch lashed one into the net from about 25 yds from the corner of the box area. It was breathtaking. Even he couldn't help laughing. The place was falling about. It was an evening cup game and think it was against Motherwell... Sure we won 6-1

[gogsy23]

the stevie fulton singalong with the east terracing 6-7 years ago, so f****** ugly he is so .....

mickey weir pulling down st johnstones players shorts after duly taking the "mickey" and scoring a wonder goal

but my fave was bout 13 years ago @ starks park midweek game standing behind the goal on the crumbling terrace this boy giving billy findlay dogs abuse evrey time he got the ball,funny thing was it was davie farrell he was confusing him with and this boy never even noticed billy warming up as a sub in front of him for 20 min....clasic

[big gogs]

a few years ago,we booked our bus into a supporters club in dundee prior to dundee utd hibs a traveller on the bus drank far more than he should have,just before boarding the bus ,he vomited down the front of his jersey,he took off the jersey,shook off most of the vomit turned the jersey inside out ,and put the jersey back on.even his mates kept their distance.

[Hibs90]

The rugby ball at Craig Gordon. Also remember this time at Tannadice where we were sitting up the back and a guy in the row infront decided to launch his hot pie forward and see who he could hit, smacked a big guy on the back of the head. He then decided to fall asleep on the person next to him's shoulder.
