I thought back then was meant to be the glory days of the SPL when the mercenaries arrived - shocking standard.

Was that not the improbable draw that gave that bald **** Duffy longer in the hotseat and thus ultimately relegated us?

thats the very game. Am I right in thinking the next derby at ER we beat them with Kevin Harper and Bazza scoring the goals.

48 fking quid that almost cost me. Three tickets and, if you don't get money before kick off and you're two down as early as we were...good luck trying to get the cash back!

Great 3pm Sat afternoon derby. I’m I right in saying the Benji winner match was the last sat afternoon derby? Probably last ever.

Remember it well as was my first derby! My old man almost killed me celebrating Harpers winner!

You could be right there. There isn't one since that springs to mind.

Spawny ?? If i remember it was a decent free kick from Robert son,fwiw one of my favourite Hibs games the celebration when Harper scored was mental.

Robertson free-kick, and Harper run from half way line before slotting it away.

Think Fulton scored twice in the opening 10 minutes?

I remember leaving that game thinking that's the result that changes everything and that the fight back was on. How wrong

Yeah, I remember watching loads of pies being launched at him from the Roseburn having just woken up on New Years morning.

Closest I have ever come to being chucked out of a match, was totally smashed and raging at our first half performance.
Was getting food just after ht and heard and huge roar thinking that's it, 3-0 down only to look up the tunnel to see the yams on their *****. the rest is history.
They went quite close to winning the league that year? Those 5 dropped points to us wouldn't have helped:greengrin

Anyway still a ***** season, we got relegated and they won the cup.

I thought no danger so looked it up and you were right. They would've been 2nd and just 1 behind Celtic who ended Rangers going for 10 in a row.

They did win the cup.

A very good Hearts team, best one in my life time.

Yeah they were an excellent team. McCann and Hamilton were a handful. Cameron, Adam, Salvatori, Bruno etc then young players like Naismith and Ritchie. Decent.

Managed to find highlights with Spanish commentary of the 2-1 derby of that year, some goal by Lavety too.

Don’t do favourite goals, but that one fi wee Kev was up there! We just KNEW after listening to them all season, that we’d just obliterated their title talk nonsense! Absolute magic. Was that no the last year before Stadium reconstruction as well?

Hearts offered more money. I think we went for Paul Tosh or Lee Power. Adam was some player and would have suited us big time.

I heard from the man himself that Hibs moved the goal posts on the original offer - he was ready to sign and his agent called to say we had changed the terms at the last minutes so they approached the Yams.

FS that worked out well ..
Two signings to forget.

Edit- according to Wikipedia we paid out a combined fee of 200K for that pair of non-entities.
