Best hibs game you've been to (outside of Cup final)

[18Hibee75]

Was having a discussion with a pal the other night about best Hibs game I have ever been to before Scottish cup final, been to some very dull and forgettable games but also some very good ones. 6-2 vs them comes to mind even the 2-2 at Tynecastle was great. I'm too young to have been at 7-0 however.

What is everyone's favourite hibs game before Scottish cup final? What are your earliest memories of Easter Road?

Rangers game in the semi final when we won on penalties.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

6-2 or Videoton away.

[LS16]

5-1 win away to motherwell about 10 year ago, certainly one of the best performances I've seen us put in

[superfurryhibby]

5-1 League Cup, followed by 6-2.

Joyful indeed.

[Nicho87]

3-0 at ibrox, cup game. Special.

[Nicho87]

Was it not 6-1

[CorrieHibs]

3-0 at ibrox in the cup. The Broomloan was shaking!

[SteveHFC]

5-1 against Killie and 6-2.

[LS16]

Was it not 6-1

Could well have been, can't remember many details of the match was quite young but it has always stuck in my head because i was blown away!

[Billychaotic182]

The Sqiggler game as was fun, but for me beating Rangers on pens

[DavieRoy]

Millennium Derby. Battered them at Tynecastle. 6.05pm kick off on a Sunday. I was 15.

An older Hibernian fan said to me 'there is nothing better than beating them in their own midden' how true.

[Michael]

4-3 Falkirk. I've never been so exhausted after a game of football I didn't play in.

[stantonhibby]

4-3 Falkirk. I've never been so exhausted after a game of football I didn't play in.

Agreed.....When Doyle scored the place went mental

[B.H.F.C]

The original 5-1 cup final.

[Sir David Gray]

2007 League Cup Final - it was the first time I had ever witnessed a Hibs team winning a major trophy and it was a very special occasion for me for that reason.

The 4-3 semi v Falkirk is also up there, an absolutely mental game from start to finish and never before have I been to a game that has been so literally "a game of two halves". In fact that phrase was coined especially for that match!

[ancient hibee]

3-2 Barcelona.

[jacomo]

5-1 against Killie.


We were blistering that day. And it started in snow and ended in sunshine.

[iwasthere1972]

European match. The 5-0 demolition of Napoli at Easter Road in 1968. 4-1 down from the first leg in Italy and with the legendary Dino Zoff in goals for the Italians we weren't expected to get through to the next round but we did.

A great night under the floodlights at Easter Road. That goal from Bobby Duncan too. :thumbsup: Rumours are that the following year Neil Armstrong found the ball on the moon. Even did a few keepie uppies with it. :agree:

Also the two League Cup Finals of 1972 and 2007 at Hampden.

[Mibbes Aye]

Rangers at ER circa 96. They had a ridiculously strong team. We won 2-1 despite them getting a penalty in the last couple of minutes. Laudrup missed it so the referee allowed him a retake which Leighton saved. Even then they nearly scored because Millen was all over Leighton congratulating him and getting in the way. From the penalty first being awarded to us finally clearing the ball it was a complete rollercoaster.

[hibee_girl]

4-3 Falkirk. I've never been so exhausted after a game of football I didn't play in.

:agree: we felt all the emotions that day!

[DavidDavidGray]

2-1 Aberdeen in the 2012 Semi-Final, 4-3 vs Falkirk in the 2013 Semi-Final or the last Edinburgh Derby. Aberdeen one as it was my first trip to Hampden in ages, Falkirk as it was mental and the derby as that is the best derby performance I've been at

[JeMeSouviens]

2-1 derby win in October 94 in stripey sleeves. I wasn't at the Geebsie derby so this was the first time I'd seen us beat them in years. Michael O'Neill scored what turned out to be the winner.

[monktonharp]

a second leg game at Ibrox, when we carried a 2 nil victory from ER, and got beat 1 nil by a fantastic Davie Cooper goal at Ibrox but we won the tie. League cup QF if I am right? Also the 3 nil victory with O'Connor scoring firt was special. our stand was virtually rockin'. thought it might collapse!

[Deansy]

The game discussed on the recent 'Two cup games v Celtic 85/86' thread - the 4-4 league-cup game with Septic, that went to ET and penalties, when Pierce O'Leary ballooned the ball over the bar. I can still remember my legs felt like I'd played throughout the entire game - and I was ecstatic that we'd gubbed these ......... folk !

[stantonhibby]

Beat by Aberdeen in the final sadly

[CMurdoch]

As a 14 year old with my grandfather at Hibs v Juventus UEFA Cup 1st leg October 1974.
Hibs went 2-1 up with goals either side of the hour mark from Cropley and Stanton.
Juventus eventually won 2-4 with a couple of goals from the great Altafine.
Under the floodlights with a great atmosphere against a great team containing players I had only seen on TV. A wonderful memory.

[Mantis Toboggan]

2-1 derby win in October 94 in stripey sleeves. I wasn't at the Geebsie derby so this was the first time I'd seen us beat them in years. Michael O'Neill scored what turned out to be the winner.

Yep. First time I ever saw us beat them in fact. Still remember it clearly.

Will also go for Sauzees debut away to Falkirk at Brockville. Crucial win through a fluke goal from Derek Collins.

[Big90inOz]

The AEK Athens game, packed stadium and the whole support was up for the game from the first whistle to the last. Great game and atmosphere

[snooky]

I was at the 0-7 game, the Napoli game, and quite a few other big games.
The one that gave me the most pleasure was the 2-1 League Cup Final against Celtc in Dec 1972.
We outplayed them that day and Paddy was IMMENSE.
The fact that he and Rocky scored the goals was the icing on the cake.

[221000]

Close call between the 6-2 demolition job or the AEK Athens game. Matty Jack's finest game in a Hibs shirt. If only Paco Luna had scored with his chance near the end!

[HoboHarry]

Yep. First time I ever saw us beat them in fact. Still remember it clearly.

Was at that game too and was my kids first ever game. The girl ended up on telly with the camera panning in on her sitting on my shoulders, and the boy refusing to pee in their filthy dump of a toilet. His next game was at Easter Road and he couldn't believe there was pizza, clean toilets etc etc lol.........

[SirDavidsNapper]

0-3 cup win over Oldco at Ibrox. Massive Hibs support. Remember them turning the scoreboard off after 3rd goal.

[houstonhibbee]

Sporting Lisbon 6-1. I think this was the game that coined the phrase. If we didn't know how good the Tornadoes were this was the proof.

2-1 down from the first leg against a very good side this was seen as a very good scoreline.

1-1 at half time at Easter Road (2-3 on agg) scoring two goals in the second half without reply to qualify was a tough ask.............we scored five and it could have been 10 we were that good. Over 22,000 there and great atmosphere. I was 14 and in awe.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

3-2 Athens game

The ecstasy and agony

The crowd was amazing that night

I'm with you on that one, also the 5-3 game a few months earlier. It was so important to make a statement at Hampden so soon after the 1972 cup final. I will never forget one "Sunday" headline "I never thought there was a team anywhere in the world that was capable of taking five goal off the Scottish champions".

[green day]

Couple of mentions already, but 3-0 Ibrox for an away game. Having the whole end was brilliant !

6-2 Jambos was special, but I really really loved both Scottish cup replays at Easter Rd 2016 and 2017. Spine tingling stuff at the end.

[northstandhibby]

]Millennium Derby. Battered them at Tynecastle. [/B]6.05pm kick off on a Sunday. I was 15.

A fabulous night. When Kenny slotted in the 3rd it was beautiful.

:thumbsup:

glory glory

[BSEJVT]

Lots of worthy candidates and I wouldn't disagree with any of them

I loved the 2-0 game when we beat their "unbeatables" and a 2-2 game away at Kilmarnock one New Year when the Hibs Support drowned out their half time presentation to I think Dylan Kerr after he said something along the lines of "I don't know who that lot are"

I particularly don't like Falkirk either and really enjoyed beating them 3-2 I think in the "Alan Freeland" game after I told Mark Venus that Freeland had failed to send off one of their players after booking him twice ;-) and Mark pulled the twat up on it.

Falkirk's brutal physical football isn't just a Houston invention it goes way way back as far as I can remember, with a certain SAF breaking Alex Cropley's ankle.

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

Rangers game in the semi final when we won on penalties.

Yeah that is right up there for ne too.

The semi v Falkirk was amazing, and i still remember the child like excitement i felt when we won the 91 league cup.

[JDT]

The 3-2 celtic game at ER for me, the game where Boric dropped in 2 clangers. The old east stand was bouncing that day

[cabbage_88]

Millennium derby - Was only in Primary 7 at the time but remember it well! Absolutely destroyed them that night - we have some record against them in evening kick off matches!
Rangers 0-3 Hibs - Scottish cup - unbelievable day, massive support, couldnt get much better!
Rangers 0-3 Hibs - Sproule hat trick - On the train through my mate actually said for a laugh that Ivan would score a hat trick that day!
AEK game - special night and atmosphere - very unlucky in the end!

Special mentions to:

Kilmarnock 2-4 Hibs - Scottish cup quarter final - superb crowd and unbelievable atmosphere
Celtic 1-3 Hibs - Scott Brown's sealer was different class - some day that!

Im sure that Falkirk game ended 1-0 to them? If it's the one I'm thinking about where the referee started booking everyone and anyone

[Earlydelivery]

Sporting Lisbon for me 6 -1 . What a game , what a team .

[we are hibs]

I enjoyed going to Ibrox and beating them 3-1 and 2-0 a couple of years back.

Ditto

[Winston Ingram]

6-2

[MacBean]

My first ever trip to Ibrox was Ivan's Hat-trick 3-0 win. Quickly followed by the 3-0 win in the cup in the same season. Tough to choose between those two.
For atmosphere This season's trip to Denmark is up there but that's more down to the occasion than the game, along with various wins at Tynecastle.

[EH54]

Athans game closely followed by the Rangers Semi final at Hampden

[wpj]

The "souness" game was some atmosphere
Anderlecht away was some adventure too!

[California-Hibs]

Been a few beauties right enough, excluding the obvious like you said, has to be the 5-1 League Cup Final being followed extremely closely by 6-2, 3-2 AEK, Hampden Hun penalties and 4-3 Falkirk, aaaah it's just too hard to pick one!!

[Keith_M]

One of the most enjoyable was on 18th November, 2006.

Despite the score, Motherwell were actually quite a good team, but nobody could have lived with Hibs that day.


Motherwell 1 (McGarry 83) Hibernian 6 (Brown 10, Killen 25,Sproule 29, 40, Jones 73,Shiels 90)

Att 6,200

[Mr White]

91 league cup semi. My first hibs game at hampden and the night a lot of us realised we had a worthy side again after a grim few years. I'll never forget the moment Weir chipped the ball onto Keiths head. Possibly my favorite ever goal too actually because of the enormity at the time.

[CallumLaidlaw]

A few immediately come to mind -

5-1 League cup final
3-0 Ibrox cup win
2-0 ER Derby 2005 - My first ever derby win I had witnessed in the flesh (embarrassing as I was 24 but 13 years in England and bad luck with the Derbies I had been up for created that record)
4-3 Falkirk Semi Final
2-2 Derby - Not necessarily celebrating a draw, but the fact we came back from 2 goals down away to our rivals who were a division above. We obviously didn't know where that comeback was gonna take us but the celebrations were superb.

[Peevemor]

The 91 Skol cup semi final against Rangers (remember them?) at Hampden.

We already knew that Dunfermline were the other finalists and, daft as at might sound, for me it was the semi final that won us the cup.

Along with the majoirty of the support at the final, I was probably too nervous to really enjoy it.

[Hibs1969]

Joe Baker's comeback game v Aberdeen 1971 when we beat them and broke Bobby Clark's unbeaten record. Sporting Lisbon 6-1 under floodlights and more recently the 5-1 league cup win v Killie when my young lad wept during SOL, just like his dad.

[poolman]

Sporting Lisbon for me 6 -1 . What a game , what a team .


I'll go along with that

The football, especially in the second half was out of this world

[Scott Allan Key]

I'll go along with that

Any footage of this game? Sounds like the one I'd loved to have seen bar 0-7.

I enjoyed as a kid beating Celtic 4-3 in Scottish Cup 1986. 3 goals in last 5 minutes with last minute winner from Eddie May. First time I've experienced a truly mental win in a cup match. Was akin to last May without air of incredulity and unparalleled elation. Nothing could ever compare again could it?

Good call. I wasn't there but remember either BBC or stv led with that result and made out Peter Marinello was the new George Best

[cmcd]

Peter Marinello was a great talent. Left Hibs too soon. As first great games. Barcelona at ER . Leeds Liverpool . 0-7 . Hibs2 Celtic 1 LCF . But my favourite has to be Sporting Lisbon 6-1 Hibs were a joy to watch that night

[lugz]

6-2 is an obvious one.
Always remember the 2 scottish cup wins at rugby park, always seems to be a great atmosphere in that away stand.

[Ryan91]

The 3-0 win in the Cup vs Oldco was an amazing game, strange to think that was 12 years ago now, still seems so fresh in mind, one of the best bounces that I've ever been a part of.

The 3-1 win over the Jambos in the cup this year was another one of the best games I've been to, perhaps the best atmosphere I've ever been a part of at ER, bossing the Jambos all over that night was something special.

Honourable mentions as well to the 4-0 thrashing of ZombieHun in Stubbs' first season and the 4-3 Semi final vs Falkirk

[SeanWilson]

Game that sticks with me is AEK at ER. Atmosphere was unreal.

[Bostonhibby]

As a 14 year old with my grandfather at Hibs v Juventus UEFA Cup 1st leg October 1974.

I was there. Wondered about the balding old guy they brought on. Proved to be Altafini. Changed everything. Wonderful player. Studied him a bit afterwards. Some pedigree.

2-1 game for me as well. Some performance on the back of that 6-1 defeat. Still got my hat, badge and rosette from that game.

I think Altifini was a Naples player when we played them but the manager was so confident after winning first game 4-1 he rested him.

5-1 Killie cup final.

[snooky]

Joe Baker's comeback game v Aberdeen 1971 when we beat them and broke Bobby Clark's unbeaten record. Sporting Lisbon 6-1 under floodlights and more recently the 5-1 league cup win v Killie when my young lad wept during SOL, just like his dad.

I was at all three of those fantastic games.
FWIW, Paddy scored the goal that ended the Aberdeen shutout. The Baker Boy 'scored' doon-the-slope first but it was ruled offside though I can't remember if he was or not.

[southsider]

I'm with you on that one, also the 5-3 game a few months earlier. It was so important to make a statement at Hampden so soon after the 1972 cup final. I will never forget one "Sunday" headline "I never thought there was a team anywhere in the world that was capable of taking five goal off the Scottish champions".
In the 5-3 game we went 3-0 up and Scotland finest fans went into overdive. Bottles rained down and the younger fans, down front, invaded the Park. Game was stopped and we lost our way a bit allowing Celtic to draw level. However, Ned and Pat got us going again allowing us to win 5-3. Celtic fans had a history of pitch invasions whenever things were not going their way. Lost count of how many times this sort of thing happened.

[deek]

In no particular order as I enjoy every game good or bad, but stand outs for me are:
6-2
AEK
Liverpool 1-0 to us my first European game
And finally the first home game for a certain George Best against Partick Thistle. Huge crowd that day.

[hibby6270]

There are many great games I've been to over the years. A lot of them already mentioned. 0-7, 6-2, 5-1 (Killie), etc

Stand outs for me though are European games. Napoli 5-0, Sporting Lisbon 6-1 and, although we didn't win the tie, the Leeds 0-0 game stands out because we were so close in turning them over

Never made the AEK Athens game as was on holiday in US at the time. Couldn't get home as scheduled due to delays with flights after 9/11. It's probably the one game I've regretted most having missed, when I read all that is said about the atmosphere on the night. Have watched the video but it's never the same as being there.

Was having a discussion with a pal the other night about best Hibs game I have ever been to before Scottish cup final, been to some very dull and forgettable games but also some very good ones. 6-2 vs them comes to mind even the 2-2 at Tynecastle was great. I'm too young to have been at 7-0 however.

What is everyone's favourite hibs game before Scottish cup final? What are your earliest memories of Easter Road?

3-0 at ibrox in the cup. The Broomloan was shaking!

Definitely between this, the AEK game or the semi of the Skol cup when we won it in 91. Just an awesome atmosphere.

[LEaston87]

6-2 v them
5-1 v Killie CIS Cup final
3-2 AEK
3-0 v Rangers at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup

Apart from Gray's winner last May, the most nuts I've went when we scored was O'Connor's last minute winner against Hearts at Easter Road after Brebner got sent off in the first half for next to nothing! We won 1-0 it might have been the first game of the season, Blobby was manager.

We've never seen their likes since unfortunately.

Hey ho.

I love the european away games, some of those trips are just the best days of my life. Although for pure pleasure because of the way we played, it has to be the Sporting Lisbon game for me.

That performance from Hibs was the best i have ever seen us play EVER.

I also remember a game against Dundee in the Scottish Cup at easter road, where we drew 3-3, that was a different game than the Sporting game, but it was end to end and so exciting.

The game must have been good, as both my parents and grandparents along with me went to the replay, that never happened in those days in my family.

We were pumped 3-0. :greengrin

For the benefit of all you youngsters out there, we lost 4-1 away and in return won 5-0 at home. Duncan,our right back, when we were shooting " upill" first half scored from almost the half way line against Dino Zoff considered by many as the best keeper imn the world at that time

Sporting Lisbon 6-1. Blew away what was meant to be one of the best sides around. 3-0 against Hertz in mid seventies when Joe Harper scored a screamer. Could have won by 7 it was so one sided.

[Pete]

Last years semi edges it.

The whole Logan debut thing with the one-on-ones and penalty saves, Jason going from the ridiculous to the sublime...

I didn't think we'd win but there was a feeling of destiny afterwards.

[pacorosssco]

5-1 win away to motherwell about 10 year ago, certainly one of the best performances I've seen us put in Its hard to pick and judge. Performance.Atmosphere
Guts. Result. Wasnt at well game but many talk about and the dieder agathe show v dundee was also a sensation performance by Hibs with great goals. Game v Hearts Riorden pen 0-1( hardly a team to put out and written off before whistle ) is other end of spectrum along with GOC(10 men most game) last minute winner where Hibs took victory. For sheer enjoyment and day as a whole 0-3 in front of 7000k hibees at ibrox was truely special.

[Lester B]

Aside from those two Celtic cup games, derbies and obviously can't mention the Cup Final it would have to be the game against Rangers when Souness was sent off. Can't remember a league game with such a massively charged atmosphere beforehand. Then it kicked off. And err kicked off

[Itsnoteasy]

Aek @ ER

[marleyhib]

6-2 for me, nearly didn't make it that night, so glad I did!

Ironic Hibs cheers for their second goal summed up how good we were.

Best atmos. for me was AEK at home, mental

[heidtheba]

2-0 v Aberdeen back in 93/94. Danny Lennon scored. I think I've got the score right, what I DO remember is that it was one of the most exciting matches I'd seen at that point and I had total confidence that we'd win.

I hadn't been going long enough to fully get the significance of the Gordon Hunter header at Tynie...but what a walk back from a match! I don't know what it was like leaving Hampden last May, but that must have been amazing given how superb it felt after that derby win.

[snooky]

Hibs v Napoli , Bobby Duncan's opening goal has yet to be equaled at Easter Road
For the benefit of all you youngsters out there, we lost 4-1 away and in return won 5-0 at home. Duncan,our right back, when we were shooting " upill" first half scored from almost the half way line against Dino Zoff considered by many as the best keeper imn the world at that time

I was re-running BD's goal in my mind as I read your post.
It was something else, eh?
O what a night. Hibs Zoffed it! :partyhibb

[Is It On....]

1-2 PBS. Archibald skins McPherson, unforgettable. Beating OldCo for Souness first game in charge..🙂

[iwasthere1972]

Rangers at Ibrox 11th October 1969, my dad, a Rangers fan took me to the game. We won 1-3.

The day I became a Hibbie!

:flag:

Was there that day too. Somehow I ended up in amongst all the Rangers fans (most of our fans at the opposite end) but still celebrated each goal.

[Northernhibee]

2-1 Scottish Cup semi final against Aberdeen in 2012. Shame what happened in the game after but it was a team that shouldn't have gotten that far, Rory Fallon's wondergoal for an equaliser then Sparky calmly slotting home. Not the best game of football but brilliant atmosphere and a real surprise.

4-0 vs Sevco at ER

4-3 vs Falkirk

5-1 vs Killie

[mim]

3-2 Barcelona.


:top marks
Amen to that
These guys were " real" legends :hibees

This game for me too.
Barca were the undisputed kings of Europe at the time. They had just knocked Real Madrid out of the European Cup to end their 5 year winning streak. They were champions of Spain. The 4-4 draw in Spain was an incredible result and coiuld have been even better.
Hibs were fantastic that night at ER and I have never known an atmosphere like that anywhere, ever, at least until May last year :greengrin

[Zazu62]

6-2 game

[tamig]

My top three are probably 6-2 derby, Ivan hat-trick game but the best of all has to be the 91 Skol Cup semi. That was a millionaire star studded hun team and it was a fantastic achievement to do them in Glasgow just a year after Mercer tried to kill us.

Yep, great game, start of the Souness revolution, Butcher, Colin West and Chris Woods bought for big money, Hibs supposed cannon fodder, first game of the season, beautiful sunny day, Hibs score first, Gers equalise through a dodgy penalty, Cowan puts Hibs back in front, Souness assaults George McCluskey in a rage, 21 man mellee (roughy didn't get involved) before Souness was shown a straight red! Still one of the best games I've seen even after all these years.

[Penicuik Hibee]

Guess best were beating pars and Killie in finals. But I was at ER when we beat Rosenburgh 9-1. Imagine doing that now

[LaMotta]

Amazed how many people have AEK game in there......I was gutted after that game and no way it could be remembered as one of the best games watching Hibs! Wouldn't even come in the top 50.

[Ray_]

Guess best were beating pars and Killie in finals. But I was at ER when we beat Rosenburgh 9-1. Imagine doing that now

Beating Malmo 6-0 [9-2 on aggregate] was also once a routine thing to do as well.

[Onceinawhile]

Really enjoyed the league cup semi last year.

It was my sons first "big" game and it felt like the day carnival design Paris and super John mcginn songs really came to life.

The scenes after jcs penalty were fantastic.

[CMurdoch]

I was there. Wondered about the balding old guy they brought on. Proved to be Altafini. Changed everything. Wonderful player. Studied him a bit afterwards. Some pedigree.

He is almost 80 now!

[Bostonhibby]

He is almost 80 now!
Could he do a job for us?😊

[monktonharp]

He is almost 80 now!I'm sure Altafini only came on for 20 minutes, and the score was 2-2. he destroyed us during his short performance, if I am right

[monktonharp]

I love the european away games, some of those trips are just the best days of my life. Although for pure pleasure because of the way we played, it has to be the Sporting Lisbon game for me.

That performance from Hibs was the best i have ever seen us play EVER.

I also remember a game against Dundee in the Scottish Cup at easter road, where we drew 3-3, that was a different game than the Sporting game, but it was end to end and so exciting.

The game must have been good, as both my parents and grandparents along with me went to the replay, that never happened in those days in my family.

We were pumped 3-0. :greengrinI do remember the replay. just along the road from where we played last Friday btw. the crowd was massive, and in the region of 30k, iirc. So hard to get in, in time for the game that I remember guys leaning over the huge wall shouting, gies half a dollar, and we'll pull ye up! actually saw folk getting a hoist up, to catch the guys' hands and get over the wall. by the time we got in, I am sure we were a goal down.not a bad Dee side at the time

[Borders Hibby]

91 league cup semi. My first hibs game at hampden and the night a lot of us realised we had a worthy side again after a grim few years. I'll never forget the moment Weir chipped the ball onto Keiths head. Possibly my favorite ever goal too actually because of the enormity at the time.

Totally agree. The rest of the game after the goal I was so nervous I felt sick

[Clarence]

2-1 derby win in October 94 in stripey sleeves. I wasn't at the Geebsie derby so this was the first time I'd seen us beat them in years. Michael O'Neill scored what turned out to be the winner.

Likewise. I must have watched the highlights of that game hundreds of times. Always remember Jock Brown saying "O'Neil rises early and headers it downwards, that was correct". Like there's an incorrect way to score a goal????

[CMurdoch]

:greengrin:greengrin

[CMurdoch]

I'm sure Altafini only came on for 20 minutes, and the score was 2-2. he destroyed us during his short performance, if I am right

36 year old Altafini came on after 65 minutes for Roberto Bettega with Hibs 2-1 up and scored within 4 minutes. Put another one in just before the end.
Great player.

[Fanforlife]

Early sixties, Hearts 0 Hibernian 4.Goals all scored in the first ten minutes.would have probably eclipsed the 0 7 if we didn't take foot of the peddle.
