Highland derby abandoned at ht - floodlight failure

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Was 0-0

[Mark79]

Only in this mickey mouse league.

[Bristolhibby]

Can't remember when a result stands?

Is it HT or something like 65 minutes?

Remember Scotland drew with Spain in Valencia due to the same problem.

[cabbageandribs1875]

latest Boro 0 Doncaster 2 not a good start for Mark Venus in his temp roll

[Hibs Class]

latest Boro 0 Doncaster 2 not a good start for Mark Venus in his temp roll

Boro are 2-0 up

[hibsbollah]

Floodlights have been known to fail in other countries too, I believe :greengrin

Tony Mowbray - Mark Venus, Robertson is a f*****g *****.

[SMAXXA]

Watched a good bit of it and Ross County are honking, the boy de Leeuw for me is one of the laziest hopeless players I've seen in the spl in a long time, maybe since Nade.

incidentally, had a look on ****back and some of them actually want him back now he has signed for the migh east fife

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Boro are now 3-0 up. Some turnaround from 2-0 down?

[hibsbollah]

Boro are now 3-0 up. Some turnaround from 2-0 down?

Without doubt the finest managerial debut in history :agree:

[cabbageandribs1875]

Boro are 2-0 up


i wondered what you were on about, until i looked again :greengrin sorry, anyway...3-0 now..........for Boro this time :blushie:

[Billy Whizz]

Without doubt the finest managerial debut in history :agree:

Trying to remember if Mark Venus managed Hibs for a game or so after Mowbray left? I think Mark Proctor did, but now sure about Mark

[Viva_Palmeiras]

The Global Energy stadium ;)

"Lights? Eh nah sorry pal we dinnae dae lights"

In recent memory that's Hibs @ Motherwell and Hibs @ Raith been abandond through floodlight failure...

[Jonnyboy]

He and John Park took control for one game Billy. 2-2 v Hearts at ER

I remember a game in the late 90's against St Mirren at ER, that was postponed due to flood light failure, before ko. If Hibs had won that night, they would have gone top of the league. Can't remember the actual year though

[cabbageandribs1875]

i didn't realise Mark Venus was also a registered player for hibs...played just the one time though

[Billy Whizz]

He and John Park took control for one game Billy. 2-2 v Hearts at ER

Jonnyboy, thanks. I remember now

Thought the Raith game was abandoned due to flooding/lightening rather than floodlight failure

[cabbageandribs1875]

personal life

Two medals awarded to Venus were stolen during a break-in at his house in the Morningside area of Edinburgh on 29 December 2010


wonder if it was Gary Mackay trying to get himself some medals



4-0 Boro btw :)

[Billy Whizz]

It was Partick Thistle Billy in 1995 :thumbsup:

You're doing well tonight Jonny. Remember being locked outside waiting for a decision

Floodlights have been known to fail in other countries too, I believe :greengrin

Absolutely, however pretty more frequent here in our top league. Motherwell being the worst offenders.

Memory fails me. When was that? I remember the flooding if not the lights.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i can mind a game v murrawell at ER getting abandoned due to fog, couldn't see a thing at the top part of our 200,000 capacity East Terrace :)

[BroxburnHibee]

Wasn't there an investigation about this kind of thing happening too often down south.

Some sort of betting scam if I remember rightly.

[Iggy Pope]

Am I imagining it or did the lights fail on us at Hampden v Celtic in the season they played their league games there?

Me too.
When it was replayed we issued a double match programme v them and Dumbarton.

[GreenCastle]

Hibs V Partick they failed didn't they? Before the match IIRC?

Good win for Boro - has Venus always been Mowbray's assistant?

[cabbageandribs1875]

Me too.

can you remember if there was any scoring in the abandoned game ? i've got 2-0 stuck in my memory for some reason, or maybe that was the score in the re-arranged game :hmmm:

[Jonnyboy]

You're doing well tonight Jonny. Remember being locked outside waiting for a decision

:greengrin The St Mirren postponement was when their team bus got trapped on the Erskine Bridge following a tanker spill :aok:

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Memory fails me. When was that? I remember the flooding if not the lights.

Monsoon conditions in a pre-season friendly under Yogi. Tade had scored after a mixup between Gatthuese (sp?) and Makalamby iirc. Gats was pretty much frozen out after that...
Floodlights failed also they tried restarting a number of times it was rather silly as it was just one floodlight but maybe that's where I've got my wires crossed - folks didn't hang about to find out the details ;)

[SMAXXA]

Neither of the Nade's play for East Fife tae.

I remember the game and seem to recall that Thicot was honking.
The abandonment had nothing to do with lights though! More to do with the moat that was gradually forming around Starks Park.

0-0 stuck in my mind but that might have been the Dumbarton game! Someone will look it up and tell us soon I'm sure.

[Sir David Gray]

Why has the BBC updated the league table to make it seem like the match finished in a draw and they were both awarded a point? :confused:

Even the SPFL has done it!

saw this on some random site on the www


Oct 6 , 1970. Morton v Hibs. (35) Rain.

Oct 18 , 1975. Celtic v Hibs. (85) Fog. wonder what the score was at the time this got abandoned :hmmm:


i noticed the guy from Leigh that posts on here is a member on it :greengrin

[Hibee Ryan]

Tony Mowbray - Mark Venus, Robertson is a f*****g *****.

J

I always sang this with Craig Levein instead of Robertson. But each to their own I suppose :wink:

[hibsbollah]

Doh,"- Thicot me ;)

Thicot. Always liked him. Now doing OK at Dynamo Bucharest.

[God Petrie]

Get all these tinpot clubs who don't invest in infrastructure out the league. If you can't complete a game at your stadium, you can't complete a season in our country. **** off. Same to Motherwell et al.

[Off the bar]

:greengrin The St Mirren postponement was when their team bus got trapped on the Erskine Bridge following a tanker spill :aok:

I remember that one, the tanker was carrying soap right?

God forbid our floodlights ever fail!

[cabbageandribs1875]

and talking about floodlights, Easter Road was once home to the brightest floodlights in European football.... :)

[Viva_Palmeiras]

God forbid our floodlights ever fail!

Speaking of our floodlights... I seem to recall us playing Celtic and as usual a few of the scallywags would nip over the back fence to sneak in for free but I remember maddies climbing up the floodlights - is this a 54o South induced memory or did it really happen...? Health&Safety - what health and safety? And we talk about flares (sorry smoke bombs...)

[monktonharp]

It was Partick Thistle Billy in 1995 :thumbsup:thought it was the harry wraggs:agree: we went downhill after that ,and had been on a good run

I recall this at ER and other grounds. I also recall a Celtic fan falling to his death from the roof of a covered enclosure at East End Park. Celtic were playing to win the title that night and the stadium was well overcrowded

[Mr White]

So with the game tonight being abandoned, win tomorrow and we'll be one point off second place. Granted probably only for 24 hours and we'll have played more games :greengrin but still...

[Bobo]

That was against Dundee, when the game was replayed it was free admission and about twice the original crowd turned up.

Mmmm i don't normally gamble my Vpounds....but i'm willing to gamble them all on it being against Motherwell :greengrin




anyway, after googling that Celtic v Hibs game abandoned after 85 mins(ended up on kerrydale st:rolleyes:)...Hibs were winning 2-0 at the time....


some sellick fan says

It was in October 1975 and there was thick fog at Parkhead. A Pat Stanton inspired Hibs were pumping us 2-0 with 10 minutes left and the ref (Iain Foote ?) abandoned the game. Hibs went nuts as they would have been clear winners. Joe Harper scored a peach for Hibs that day.

With 10 minutes left hundreds of fans invaded the park from the jungle and the ref couldn't see them in the fog. Sadly this led to a small fence being erected in front of the jungle as a punishment.

Game was replayed six weeks later and ended up 1-1.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i've also got some vague memory of skiving school one afternoon to see us playing rangers at ER....but simply can't remember why we were playing them on a tues/wed with a 2pm(i think) KO time :rolleyes: early 70's i reckon

[Miguel]

Think it was actually Partick, about '93, or maybe that's a different one.

[Leishy1995]

Neither of the Nade's play for East Fife tae.

East Fife tweeted that Christian Nade is eligible to play now.

[Scorrie]

East Fife tweeted that Christian Nade is eligible to play now.

Has his diet worked then....

[Twiglet]

Thicot. Always liked him. Now doing OK at Dynamo Bucharest.

Scored a couple goals too.

Played in Portugal last season and did well playing a defensive role and scored a few goals then too.

[delbert]

0-0 stuck in my mind but that might have been the Dumbarton game! Someone will look it up and tell us soon I'm sure.

The Hibs v Motherwell game in question was abandoned before the 20 minute mark with the score at 1-1, went to game with Bonnyrigg branch, bus was off to another hire and we had to wait till it returned after 9pm outside the old bakery, bloody freezing. When the game was replayed, Hibs won it 1-0

[IWasThere2016]

Oct 18 , 1975. Celtic v Hibs. (85) Fog. wonder what the score was at the time this got abandoned

I cried myself to sleep that night. We totally pumped them - Stanton was unplayable - totally majestic! The mist rolled in but the game could have been played to a finish.

We were also the better side in the re-arranged fixture!

[Leishy1995]

Has his diet worked then....

I dunno but a few months back I seen a photo of one man carrying him.

One of the non league ones I guess?

[WindyMiller]

Thought the Raith game was abandoned due to flooding/lightening rather than floodlight failure

Well the one I was at was!

3-4 years back, pre season friendly.

[The Green Goblin]

Can't remember when a result stands?

Is it HT or something like 65 minutes?

Remember Scotland drew with Spain in Valencia due to the same problem.

J

Pretty sure we were absolutely tanking them on the park and the suggestion at the time was they pulled the lights because they didn't like what was happening :-)

Yer right. It was an early kick off due to the miners strikes and all other manner of industrial action, and the need to rashion electricity. The three day working week!

[cabbageandribs1875]

yeah it was :agree: after the fire at motherwell

aaaah so that's why :greengrin can you remember the year/score :dunno:

Motherwell game was way before the Dundee game you speak of

Hopefully they'll be issuing a follow up apology for getting the date wrong on their original apology.
