Low Point of the Decade - That semi

Achievement of the Decade
Definitely the league cup final though beating AEK at ER at getting SO CLOSE to putting them out must rank up there
Low Point of the Decade
The obvious 4-0 semi and the 5-1 league match against them.. but personal low points came at Hampden. League cup semi v Ayr United followed closely by 180 goalless minutes against a Bamba-inspired Dunfermline. Such a waste of time and money in **** weather...
Game of the Decade
Quite a few - mostly derbies and again the CIS final must get a mention. If I were to choose one I'd pick the 2-0 "We are unbeatable" match for all round family fun! It signalled the beginning of the car crash we are watching right now.
Player of the Decade
Very tempted to pick Scott Brown here - he grew before our eyes into the best midfielder in the country and I will never forget his display in his last game at ER, almost single-handedly tearing the unwashed (reserves) to shreds.
Goal of the Decade
Again so many - Zouma rounding Gordon and leaving Pressley sitting on his bum must get a mention; Didier Agathe scoring his third v Dundee when it seemed every defender tried to hack him down; even Stewart's shin from 30 yards was unbelievable :wink:; and I could choose any one of Riordan's screamers but I think I'm going to go for a goal that should have counted and didn't. Riordan's curled volley to complete his "hattrick" in the 4-4 game v Dundee at ER. Would have made it 5-1 I think at the time and there was no way he was offside. Quite simply the most breath-taking strike I've ever seen!
Cult Hero
The one and only Mali Magician
Villain of the Decade
Can I say Colin Murdock? :greengrin It is a toss up between Gary Caldwell, Steven Frail and Andy Wan.. Walker
Best Signing
Could turn out to be Liam Miller! But I would say David Murphy on a free from Middlesboro.
Worst Signing
Where to start... Murdock, Malkowski, Simon Brown, Kerr, Morrow... the list of imposters is seemingly endless. For promising so much and delivering so little I'll need to plump for Alan O'Brien
Best Kit of the Decade
The last black top - two seasons ago maybe? Still wear it regularly.

Pedantic perhaps - when has that ever stopped me peeing on other folks' parades? :wink: - but the Weegies are as they so often are, entirely misguided in their thinking (I use the term loosely, of course) that the decade began on 01/01/2000. It did not. It began a year later, on 01/01/2001.
So while the past 8 years, 11 months and 7 and a half days (less a few minutes) have had their ups and downs for the Cabbage - more ups than downs, I think - we still have 388 days, 12 hours and just over 20 minutes of the first decade of the 21st century to go.
And like you, I feel sure that the best is yet to come..... :devil:

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, a decade is a passage of 10 years regardless of a format.
Additionally, it is common convention when talking about "the sixties" (for example) to include 1960 and discount 1970.
Were you one of the 50 odd folk in the country who sat in a huff in the hoose with the lights off when the year 2000 came around because it wasn't the "real" Millennium perchance? :greengrin

In our (Gregorian) calendar there was no year zero, the year of the birth of Christ was designated 1AD, therefore the first Decade ended in 10 and not 9AD. Other decades must follow suit, therefore the current decade began on 1st January 2001 (together with the new millennium) and will last until Hogmany 2010.

A case of looking too far back giving a bit of a nonsense answer though as opposed to any good reason as to why you would measure a period of ten years and start with 1. Nothing more than a dull technicalIty over how the calendar was incorporated with no relevance when measuring a period of ten years now!
How does going from 1BC to 1AD work logically in any case?

Given that I am one of those losers who reckons that the decade still has another year and a bit to run, I will say that the best is yet to come. :greengrin
The ever reliable Wiki seems to disagree with you.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_(decade)
But does agree with your contention that the last millennium ended on 31/12/2000.

Achievement of the Decade - Kilmarnock 1-5 Hibernian... To win a Cup in any style is a phenomenal achievement, but to win by 4 goals was beyond my wildest expectations. It's gonna take something helluva special to even come close to that.
Low Point of the Decade - Fair to say we've had our fair share of dissapointments over the last ten years, though three in particular spring to mind... THAT semi and THAT final... The expression 'gut-wrenching' doesn't do justice to how gutted I was for the following few days. And the sacking of Sauzee. I was a young lad and utterly devestated.
Game of the Decade - Wow, theres been a few... AEK Athens at home, 6-2, 5-1, beating Rangers in the semi on penalties, beating them 0-3 TWICE within a few months of eachother at Ibrox, winning at Ibrox to go top of the league and winning 3-1 at Celtic Park. There have been many special games, those are just the pick of them. Thankfully, I was at them all :greengrin
Player of the Decade - Thers two. Frank Sauzee, say no more. And Derek Riordan. Goals, goals, goals. Just shades Ian Murray and my all-time hero, Garry O'Connor.
Goal of the Decade - There's two, both came in the 2003/2004 season. Riordan's screamer past Gordon against Them in a 1-1 draw at ER and a stunner from Tam McManus at Ibrox in a 5-2 loss. Special mention for Alen Orman's beuty at Ibrox too.
Cult Hero - Ivan Sproule. £5000 we paid for him. **** me.
Villains of the Decade - Kevin ThomsHun and Paul Hartley :grr:
Best Signings - For the sheer steal of Ivan Sproule, the re-signings of Murray and Riordan and David Murphy. Was a complete and utter unknown when he signed but i'd say he's in the top 5 players i've seen play for the Hibs.
Worst Signing - Alan ****ing O'Brien. Hearts thought they wasted money on Beslija? This man took the piss. Still unbelievable that Sproule was shipped out to make way for that imposter.
Best Kit of the Decade - The all-white kit in 2004/2005. Home kit was smart as too, these kits just beat the current version. Worst Home kit was the 2007/2008, worst Away kit was the yellow monstrosity.

For the last decade that's been, I can really only recall the Diddy Cup win against Dumfy. Was there much else that I should have retained from that period? :dunno:
I nominate in an extra category for this decade:
Photae of the decade: Hibs youngsters in the centre circle at the Huns semi shoot-out.
:agree::agree:
Close second is surely the O'Connor/Shiels one? You all know it :wink:

Malkowski
Orman Dempsie Caldwell Edge
Morais Chisholm Wiss O'Brien
Konte Smart
I liked Orman. :agree:
I don't seem to recall our "legend's" Riordan, Sauzee or Latapy scoring a 30 yard raker at Ibrox. :devil:
How could you leave Brian Kerr out this team? :bye:
I'm sure he's in there somewhere. He just goes unseen. :wink:
