Were you on the terracing behind the goals?

[Simkin911]

I normally enjoy lurking on the messageboard but a chance finding at the back of a cupboard this morning forced me to write.

From a secure cardboard cylinder I unrolled a large black & white photograph of a certain Mr Archibald celebrating putting us 0-2 up at Tynie from the late-ish 80's ('88 I think).

Photo taken from the touchline by the official photographer for Hibs at that time shows the back of Archibald, in front of goals, arms aloft and several thousand fans going mental in the background. Crucially, you can also see the ball resting in the corner of the net!

A classic moment.... we didn't get that many wins back then... aye, those are moments you can't forget.

He signed it for me later than season... and thinking about it, I should really take down a photo of the family and put it up instead! :thumbsup:

i remember it very well indeed and will be somewhere in that photo going mental. what a fantastic finish :agree:

Yes I was. Half way up the terrace behind the goal. One of my favourite derby goals.

Mental.

Honestly think its such a shame that people haven't experienced a sway, or the Hibs end really jumpin.

Mon the Archie:thumbsup:

Yeah, i was in or around the same area. Remember jumping up and getting stuck in mid air. Not a lot of saftey in those days, it was like sardines. Fantastic. Bring back the old days :boo hoo:

Weren't doing that at the 2-0 we are unbeatable game?

[weecounty hibby]

I still enjoy going to Tynie on derby day but it was much better in those days. That was a great day out, I remember the game but not much of the evening celebrations.:party::drunk:

[MSK]

I was behind the goals that day..when the ball hit the back o the yams net it was utter chaos ...absolutley fantastic chaos though !!!! :thumbsup:

[HibbyKeith]

[Silversand]

Me & KeithSanSiro were there.

Think there's a pic of me getting home - very drunk ..... :greengrin

I seem to remember Archibald put one just past the post, minutes before he scored, and I was thinking "if that had gone in it would've been the best moment of my footballing life." Then scored with his next chance .... cue bedlam. :thumbsup:

[Wing Half]

Yep one of the best.

[sadtom]

Great day. Most amazingly it was £3 or £3.50 to get in!

[Scorrie]

A great day. It was my birthday too! Whit an evening we had heading back down the Walk :greengrin

:confused:

[Steve-O]

I was there apparently, but can't remember a thing about it since I would've been 6 or 7 at the time :greengrin

My dad always wanted a copy of that exact photo but could never find it - gies it please. :greengrin

[spudhib]

My best moment as a hibby by far at that point being only 16 at the time,first win at tynie iirc,also with 10 men.Also remember Kanos bullet header and his celebration in front of the yams.:agree:

[tanfield]

Remember the goal well. Was in the middle behind the goal and as someone has said already absolute chaos when the ball hit the net. Even then we almost threw the game away in added time but fortunately Alan Moore screwed his shot wide.

Was one of the better Hibs supports that day. We always seemed around that time to struggle to fill the Gorgie Road end but not that day.:greengrin

[Badge]

I remember the song walking out the ground on to Gorgie Road -
10 men fuc--d the hearts tra la la la la
oh the 10 men fuc--d the hearts tra la la la la la

or something like that:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin

One of my favorite derby goals. Rae was sent off and Archie put us 2 up. Behind the goals in the pouring rain, everyone went bananas.

The yams scored late on, then IIRC missed an absolute sitter in the last minute to equalise......... I just loving beating the yams......:greengrin

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Yes I was there, in the morning papers the shot of him saluting the fans had me and my cousin in it going fking nuts, wish I had that photo now:boo hoo:

Great night S. Did we not get thrown out of Bagsy's that night:party:

[gringojoe]

Was in there somewhere, good few pints before kickoff in the Golden Rule/Merchiston Bowling Club. Then having to wade through the overflowing Tynie bogs to get the terracing.

[NOLA]

i was the team mascot that day:thumbsup:so was sitting in the main stand surrounded by jambos :greengrin was in the dressing room after and the players were in some party mood:top marks

[weecounty hibby]

May have, but we did make a bit of a habit of that back in the day. Usually for no real reason. We know how Deek feels, totally unjust. Most of the time:greengrin
