Remarkable enough for the 4-1 scoreline and Jock Stein dealing with pitch invading fans the way a manager should, the Mike MacDonald Karate kick on a Celtic forward in 47secs is hilarious. Archie MacPherson then saying "the Celtic forward really ran into him".

Mike Conroy.
Another in the long list of exciting Hibs signings.....whose high-point was actually signing the contract itself. It was all downhill from there.Last edited by CropleyWasGod; 27-02-2015 at 10:14 AM.

What year did the seats go into the cow shed? I'd always thought it was in the 80s, but from that video I'm wrong about that.
United we stand here....

Around about the time of the ties against FC Besa and Sporting Lisbon.

I have absolutely no memory of that game whatsoever yet I was still living in Edinburgh at the time & very rarely missed a match. I suppose 4-1 wins over Celtc must have been a regular occurrence!

Magic. Thanks for posting that. I feel better for going back to those fun days again. I would have been in the north stand enclosure and probably half cut like everyone else.
There were some great terracing wags about - and I don't mean glamour girls!

I think you're right, as my Dad has mentioned that game before and he reckons the seats went in shortly after.
72/73 season maybe?

Remember it well, Celtic were truly abysmal that season and I think Stein left not long after that, great to see wee Alex McGee scoring the 4th, a great busy wee player who saldy never made the cut.
Regarding Conroy, he must have been one of the worst ever signings from them, absolutely hopeless, think he went on to play in the ROI when he left us.
Big Tony Galente as well...lol...what a character he was.

I remember being really excited when he joined us, but what a let-down he was.

I think I'm right in saying we beat Celtic to a European spot that year.
A late Arthur Duncan equaliser against Aberdeen put them a place below us in the final game, consigning them to the Anglo Scottish cup....don't know how many times they ever missed out on Europe post 1965.

I remember the celtc game well, my 20th birthday. Bit of bother in the North Enclosure that day, vaguely remember getting knocked over and trampled on...

As has already been noted the goal celebrations are the truly shocking element of this video. I mean did we do no work on those in training at all?
Score a goal, switch to semi jogging pace and then stick your right arm in the air in a kind of (but not actually) get it up you style.
Still, loved those old goalposts and nets.

Was this not the game the Celtic fans invaded the pitch to try and get the game abandoned? not watched the clip so this may sound a bit stupid.
Just spotted it was lol ignore me

Pretty sure I can see myself in the cowshed there. I remember that game well, obviously I didn't really drink then.

I think the Cave (where did this " Shed " stuff come from ? Shed was at Tynecastle or Chelsea ) was closed for Derby early in 72/73 ( maybe last time we didn`t have white sleeves with home strip till this season ? - all green shirt and 2-0 win ) and then they started putting seats in . I remember being in the Cave at Besa game and Cave was half seats ( still not open to public ) and half terracing . Previous round against Sporting Lisbon pretty sure Cave was all terracing so maybe Derby was straight after it ?

Archie - 'And some young people have run onto the pitch' !. A lot easier than 'And some young Celtic-fans have run onto the pitch', eh Archie !!

Cheers Spike for posting - brings back some great memories.
Isn't the reason why Celtic fans invaded the pitch was that they had done so at a match earlier in the season - and successfully got the game abandoned - when we were leading?
Or is my memory not what it used to be?

The real reason was that the Celtic fans invaded the pitch (twice) and delayed the game long enough for the fog to come down! The replay ended 1-1 with Shades scoring a screamer.
