What is yours? either being there or watching it on the TV, I did enjoy being there at hampden for the 3-0 livi in 01 but the 4-3 vs Falkirk in 2013 was special.

This. And the Skol Cup semi in 91. Until very recently that was my favourite game at Hampden.

Falkirk was something special. Keith Wright against the huns was too. but, last year against D.utd. eclipsed it all . never mind that we went on to win the cup, Conrad Logan's day was really something to remember. his stops, in normal time were immense and his penalty saves, well, can that ever be beaten?

For me, the only time I've seen us win at Hampden in person, Aberdeen 2012. Marred slightly by what followed, but still

Beating the Huns with Keith's header or the penalty shootout (league cup) both were great games ... the Falkirk comeback was some game too.

Falkirk 4-3 reignited that feeling that only your team can provide. It had been sorely lacking over the years for hibs. That comeback was special - so improbable that made it even more remarkable.

The heroic performance by Alex Miller's League Cup/Skol Cup 91/92 winning team. Just fabulous. The whole team from Budgie through to Keith Keith Keith were awesome that night. One of my top three games attended ever.

Mayhem at the goal. Mayhem X 10 at FT. We knew we'd won the Cup, a month ahead. An amazing evening after the year or so that preceded it. GGTTH.

1972 replay against Rangers, they were lucky to beat us at the same stage in the previous season and this was the first indication that the TT's were going to be something special.

The 4-3 win over Falkirk is one of the most memorable matches I've ever attended, never mind just semi finals!

It was an absolutely mental afternoon and one that I will never forget.

We ended up in Fingers Piano Bar after the game, there were a few Hibs players inebriated to say the least, great night.

Wasn`t at replay but remember from telly we outclassed them as we did again later on in same year in LC semi .

The 2012 semi final vs Aberdeen was memorable, wasn't expecting to win it and Leigh's winner was a very calm finish. Rory Fallon's goal was a peach for Aberdeen as well.

Lots of memories of semis in both cups a lot of them of goalies ( Conrad last year , Zibi in 2006 , Mike McDonald gifting goal v Aberdeen at Dens in LC , our goalie ( who ? ) saving penalty v Celtic in a SC semi at Ibrox on a Friday ? etc ) . Only watched it on Hibs TV but Falkirk comeback was sensational though it was only reported as a great comeback wnen I remember us being very unlucky in the first half with at least 2 stonewall penalties turned down .

Without doubt the best semi final experience I've ever witnessed. What a night.

Best Semi was the aforementioned Keith Keith Keith game. I was near the back of the terracing behind our goal. And despite being approximately 150 yards away from it, I knew it was our night when wee Mo's shot hit the junction of the post/bar at one side of the goals and yet budgie got all the way across the other side to save (and hold) Super Ally's follow up shot.

*I'd be grateful if one of the more tech savvy .netters could post a YouTube clip of that incident - for the younger viewers benefit of course.

Rangers 91 was the 1st time I'd seen Hibs at Hampden. That 1 will always be special!!!

We've been in a few! But Rangers 91, that is the thing of dreams when you're a kid, even more so back then.

The unstoppable force of the old firm, coming back from the brink of existence, Murdo McLeod having a punt on us early season, budgies save from McCoist after Mo Johnston hit the post, that ball from Mickey weir, that header from Keith, Alex Millers green tracksuit, the sea of green at full time.. a proper fairytale before the final

When did all semi finals start taking place at Hampden?

I seem to remember semi finals taking place at tynecastle (think we played Aberdeen the day the grand national was abandoned but memory could be playing tricks on me?)

Was that when hampden was being renovated or was that years off?

Mine too, brilliant memories. One of my mates got hauled out of my car by two Glesgae police motorcyclists on the way to Hampden for shouting Begbie style abuse at them, for the traffic chaos ouside. He got banged up for the whole game and had to make his own way back to Edinburgh when they finally let him go. None of us had mobiles in those days so we didn't know what happened to him until the following day. Still makes me laugh when I think about it.

Skol cup semi with my fave hibs player Keith Wright. That said the Falkirk game was amazing especially as my wife texted me at half time with some x-rated promises if hibs came back to win. Naturally I collected.

My thoughts too. The semi was so special the final ended up a wee bit of a let down.

In between those two Semi's was the Drybrough cup semi at ER, where we also outclassed them [3-0] and Onion totally took the P out of Colin Stein, by drawing the ball back as Stein went to tackle and Onion then watched him skidding past and slamming in to the hoardings. Stein, since he joined the huns in October 68, was public enemy No1 as far as the hibs fans of that era were concerned, so it was a sweet moment.

1972/73 Scottish League Cup semi at hampden was also 1-0 to Hibs. Brownlie scored.
