7-0 New DVD

[Ray_]

Sorry if its been posted before, I haven't seen it. I notice on the official site that for the fortieth anniversary, Hibs are putting out a DVD, of the full 90 minutes, from the game played on the first of January 1973. Brilliant news, now being greedy, if only they would do the same with the 72 league cup final.

That would be great. At the moment it's like watching it from the inside of a post box with a pair of binoculars during a blackout.

Do we not already have the 90 mins of this?

Would a 90 minute DVD not be 90 minutes of the same post box or will they have 'digitally remastered' it into a fresher state?

What are the details?

Had a quick glance but couldn't see anything.

I hope they use the Beatles Sgt Pepper as the sountrack and with the lyrics

It was 40 years ago today
That the Hibees taught the Yams to play
We've been going in and out of style
But we're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may we introduce to you
The team you've known for all these years
We're Paddy Fenlon's Hibees to a man

I don't care, it is a DVD I'd walk back to Edinburgh to get [well almost] :greengrin The last 90 minutes I saw from that epic season, was a team dominated by youngsters, getting hammered 0-3, by the Celtic team that was clinching the title, in what was the last game of the season and played at ER.

The 7-0, although, IMHO, not the best we played that season, but it certainly was the pinnacle, as it put us top of the league, we had already won the two cup competitions that we had entered, that had been completed and we had a date coming up in March, which was to see us play in the cup winners cup quarter final.

It was very much down hill after that, a few days later, the infamous game against East Fife, when the 1-0 win was scant reward for a day when we lost John Brownlie to an injury that put him out for a year and rendered him unable to again attain the heights as Britain’s best fullback, which he undoubtedly was, before the injury. We also lost Alex Edwards, Pat Stanton & John Blackley, due to a mixture of injury and suspension.

After the East Fife match, which was poor and had attracted a 17,000 gate, we played well in the two Scottish cup games against Rangers, when we were extremely unlucky to lose the replay, after dominating both games. We also played well against Hadjuk Split, racing in to a 4-0 lead, only to lose two late goals and subsequently the tie, against inferior opposition, those games apart, we were a shadow of the team that had done so well during the first half of the season.

Talking to Alex Croply during the week and we both agreed that the Hadjuik Lose
affected Eddie Turnbull big time. He lost faith in the team after that result and ultimately
lost out on the leauge to a superb celtic side. The cup lose to the huns in the wa a
travesty as we controlled the whole match, if only we could do that today.
