Apart from us being different class from the present bunch I couldn't help noticing at the start of the video (Shades throw-in) the lack of colours worn by the fans as the order of the day was the shirt and tie received from the wife for Christmas. No goading or throwing coins at the players either. I'm assuming of course that the fans in the old rickety main stand were Yams.

Tomorrow will be very different. You can bet on it.

They may be above us in the league but they're still a pub team and always will be.

C'mon the Cabbage.

I was right behind the goals in the second half, the Gordon header seemed to take ages to go in......wonderfull.

Happy New Year to everyone from the USA. I was in the Gorgie Rd end that famous day with a mix of severely hung-over Jambo and Hibee mates - no
segregation in them thar days. No aggro either. I'm a Gorgie boy - christened in
the church at the Gorgie Rd end and went to skool at Tynie, but was born in
Leith and I'm a Hibee till I die (which may be fairly soon if I keep topping up from that bottle of Jack Daniels calling me from the kitchen).

Cheers!!!

[CRAZYHIBBY]

[hailhail22]

I I was behind the goalss where Grodon's header went in too..and then it was back to Big Frank Dougan's place in Colinton Mains to celebrate!

Much hs been made about the lack of segregation in previous posts and the almost 'romantic' notion that there was never any bother between the fans in tthis 'era'

That's not my recollection at all.

While it was true that there was no segregation, the fans tended to congregate together in their own tribe as it were...frequently there would be a rammy at the half way point on the terracing at ER when the rival fans, migrating from one end to the other met at half time.

Ii also remember a few rammies with Hearts supporters, other than this.

Can't recall any trouble at this game its true...but in the seventies it was not all sweetness and a 'hard luck old chap' culture as some would portray.

indeed, i was with my dad and several uncles at that game, one of my uncles managed to get in quick at another turnstile, although it was 2-0 for us by the time the rest of us got in, the said uncle was already passing us to get out again, not because he was a jambo and his team already getting a doin so soon, he saw hibs/hertz fans fighting as soon as he got in and swore that was him finished with watching football...and he kept his word

I agree . There was aggro at many games - I just don't recollect any at this
particular derby game. I hope to god the Jambo's don't do a 7-0 on us
tomorrow. The way we are playing it wouldn't be totally out of the question.
It will all be done and dusted by the time I crawl out of bed in the morning ...

[blairwallace]

oh we've played in south morocco....

[Bryson]

[Dashing Bob S]

**** every last one of you.

[Lucius Apuleius]

**** every last one of you.

that is all thats needed.

[Aldo]

Ma Dad and Uncle were at the game and both had bottles in their pockets and was told by them that they changed ends at Half time (the fans or some of them)

Wish I'd been born earlier to see that game.

THE GREATEST GAME IN HISTORY WAS THE GAME ON NEW YEARS DAY

7 - 0 :flag:

[Dunbar Hibee]

**** every last one of you.

I concur.

[The Harp]

Was in the enclosure under their old rickety stand (it's even ricketier now :greengrin). Met up by chance wi' a lot of old pals in the queue to get in, including a well known Hibstorian. Missed wee Jimmy's goal due to the length of time it took to get in.
We all had our new year bottles wi' us and passed them round the Yam supporters who braved it out to the end. A game NEVER to be forgotten - hard to believe it was 38 years ago.:flag:

[HiBremian]

I remember being in the enclosure too, towards the end where we got the 5 first half goals. Aged 19, I'd already done a few Ne'er Day derbies after all night bevvies, and remember bringing a bottle o whisky to celebrate, more in hope, any goals wi a wee double - seem to remember the previous two years were 0-0 and right letdowns.

Totally palatic by half-time:greengrin

[Hibby D]

**** every last one of you.


Oh my! And you a gentleman too.......:cool2:

Rather eloquently put though :thumbsup:
