Some cup Memories before Saturday

Raith game on Saturday has a whole lot of danger signs for me , due to our current situation

That said, there have been many along the years

What’s your memories of underdog victories against us in the Cup..Or near misses...

One that stands out for me , was a Scottish cup defeat at old Kilbowie against Clydebank- who I’m sure where one or two divisions below us at the time - wasn’t a great Hibs side to be fair - think we went out to a meek 1-0 defeat.

Always liked going to that ground for some reason though !

Cup days used to have a real excitement and cache over the years - slightly changed now- with some obvious amazing exceptions... Any other mementoes against the smaller clubs ?

[My_Wife_Camille]

0-0 at home to Ayr and losing 1-0 in the replay through there to the most poorly defended goal in the history of the game

[Hermit Crab]

2-1 Stirling Albion in a replay was a shocker, as was the Ross County replay defeat.

Was that the replay up there in circa 2010? That was a sore one indeed .. long journey home !

[Pretty Boy]

Not really a huge shock as such but a 2-0 defeat at home to Kilmarnock on a freezing cold day sticks in my mind. Jim Leighton had an absolute nightmare.

Was that when Paul Wright lobbed him from miles out after a bad kick out or something?

The falkirk semi final which we lost 1 0 was a shocker. We actually played well just couldn't score.

Yes it was they scored a stoppage time winner from being 0-1 down after Stokes had given us the lead. They scored 2 goals in the last 20 minutes, there was trouble after the game as a county fan invaded the pitch holding a Hearts top which led to fighting behind the main stand. Brutal journey home that.

[Diclonius]

Getting beat 3-2 by the same opposition at home under Butcher. I remember leaving that game thinking we had a problem for the first time.

To make it worse Celtic got knocked out that day.

Said to my mate after that game that if We didn't buck up our ideas we would be in the play offs. Got told I was talking ***** and we would finish top 6.


As soon as that watmore started beating a couple of men they started kicking ***** out him and we never really seen him again apart from the odd performance

Nightmare Alan Rough played on with a broken leg and kept the score down

They had a young Gordon Marshall in goals a young Juke Box and a young Stevie Kirk scored the winner

Our Supporters Bus got lost trying to find his way this guy on the bus said he was a bus driver and knew a quick way cue abandoning the bus and sprinting to the ground to make kick off. :confused:

Happy days!

[Stokesy's on fire]

Raith pose a serious danger to any spfl side and we have to respect them before we can beat them. i fancy us to turn them over though 4-0 Hibs

That was horrible. Was still at Heriot Watt and went up on the supporters bus for the first time. When we finally arrived back in Edinburgh I just missed the first night bus, couldn't get on the second as I had no money (didn't realise it was £3) and finally got on the third after trading another guy my £10 note for slightly less money in change. Think I got back around 3am.

1976/77, Arbroath away where we scraped a 1-1 draw thanks to a John Blackley goal. Replay at Easter Road in a game played in torrential rain we managed to lose 2-1 after leading 1-0 through an Ally Macleod goal.

Last 2 home Scottish Cup defeats to Raith saw us get relegated both seasons (97/98 and 13/14) :worried:

Went up in the Tranent Hibs supporters bus, after the match went into a small grocers shop in Montrose to get something to eat for the long trek home. The shop was invaded by Hibs supporters who began stealing everything in sight. The young girl behind the counter tried to stop them and ended up getting a sore punch in the face. To top it all somebody threw a carton of milk which exploded all over me. By the time I got home I was stinking of sour milk.

It was 1v0 Clydebank, early 1987. They were a Premier League side then. Got relegated at the end of season 1986/87.

Horrible defeat.

[erin go bragh]

I can remember Meadowbank thistle with a certain Arthur Duncan playing ,knocking us out the league cup at ER . Early 80s .

[Hibbyradge]

Losing 1-3 to Montrose away, in the 70s, when we had a decent team!!!!

I was at that game and pretty much all of the other ones.

What a horrible thread to start on the eve of our cup tie!

Lucky I'm not superstitious.

Aw naw, I forgot, I am. :paranoid:

Liked the ground but surrounding area was pretty sure.

Apparently so! ;).

[.Sean.]

The Falkirk 1-0 semi loss. Battered them and Allan rattled the bar before they scored.

Quarter Final against Ross County 2010. Should’ve had them buried without the need for a replay.

Both absolute sickeners at the time, A’s was the semi loss to Aberdeen two years ago but that was a wee bit different.

[Lago]

Off the top of my head,
Beaten by Airdrie at ER

Beaten by East Fife at Bayview

Beaten by Raith at Starks Park & ER

Just finished reading the local paper where the various games between the 2 clubs are listed showing the Raith wins, didn't realize they had beaten so many times.

[Mantis Toboggan]

Another vote for the Stirling Albion replay in 1998/99. Chris Jackson with the winner, in an era when ex players seemed to score against us constantly

1976/77, Arbroath away where we scraped a 1-1 draw thanks to a John Blackley goal. Replay at Easter Road in a game played in torrential rain we managed to lose 2-1 after leading 1-0 through an Ally Macleod goal.

That's the one for me. Actually lucky to get the draw in Arbroath & thought that was the banana skin avoided, McLeod scored to put us 1:0 up at ER & I settled back & relaxed. Oyah. Ouch.

Goram scored the winning pen in a shoot out v Clydebank after a 1-1 draw in the LC. I was safely back in Mathers at the top of Broughton St by that stage 😁

[hibstag]

Yes it was they scored a stoppage time winner from being 0-1 down after Stokes had given us the lead. They scored 2 goals in the last 20 minutes, there was trouble after the game as a county fan invaded the pitch holding a Hearts top which led to fighting behind the main stand. Brutal journey home that.

Was in the county end with my brother there was more than one with hearts stuff visible one young dafty close to me was getting fairly abusive pelters from a few county stalwarts around him. I took a few comments in the mallard here to see your big team but nothing like he got. to be honest having watched them in Highland league county's run to the final was enjoyable once we were out

I’m thinking Jackson, maybe Chris Reid sent off. I’ve no idea to be honest it’s just etched in my mind the same as we bear Aberdeen on Pens at Pittodrie round about the same time. Andy Walker either scored the winner for us or missed for the Sheep. I was about ten. And shouldn’t even had been up.

Always felt let down by that group of players reaction at the time - on the cusp of the double. Without knowing all that was going on, felt They could have ploughed on until after those games ....

Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

I have a vague recollection of Hibs equalising, but you might be right; lots of 0-0 draws in the Miller era...

[Hibees1973]

Worst for me was back around 1975/6.....I could search for the exact date but can’t be bothered.

Arbroath....I was sitting in the main stand at Easter Road with my dad. The Turnadoes had faded but Hibs were still consistently in the top 3 (would settle for that now). I was about 9 years old and remember Arbroath scoring 2 goals down the slope within a couple of minutes of each other.

I remember my disbelief that Hibs could not beat this team I had not heard of.

Hibs decline can be traced back to this period which lasted a good number of years (relegation and years of struggling to stay in the Premier League as it was then).

Still remember that Arbroath game clearly to this day.

[Waxy]

My first proper memory was Hibs beating Strasbourg 1-0 in a european match. Ally Mcleod scored a penalty. The whole thing was wonderful to me.Sorry nothing to do with the op but the thread has brought back lots of old memories.

[The 90+2]

I was the opposite. Rob Jones was the David Gray of that era, they went because Collins wouldn’t listen. All parties to blame and ultimately we (supporters) lost out. It was round about the time Collins would rip into players but leave Broony out and he didn’t give a fk as he was leaving anyway. A lot stemmed from Michael Stewart and the way he was treated when he didn’t accept a contract right away. I also think he was a **** stirring prick but that’s a different issue.

Damon Gray up front on his own in the pissing rain about 5,000 hibs fans there. Murder. Was it that prick Thompson that gave the penalty that evening too?

That was gutting, for me the icing on the cake was McIntyre doing a panenka to score the penalty. In a way you have to respect how much of a piss take that was.

Thing is, when we won the cup in the sun it was amazing your brain goes back to **** like walking out the stadium in the piss pouring rain and cold and not having a clue where the buses are. At the time absolutely brutal but the big guy upstairs was setting us up for the greatest weekend known to mankind. No other fan of another will ever get that. It still wasn’t a pen tho the dirty cheating hearts konte 😂

Ayr Utd in the League Cup Semi final was a shocker.

Scottish Cup wise I remember we got horsed off Dunfermline big time in a cup replay early 00s, sure it was the round after Brebner scored a hatrick?

Ross County hurt like hell too.

That was a sore one and bad for me after I was ejected by the stewards at half time...the old firm game had been on the night before and I was caught using the corporate facilities in the North stand...good enough for Glasgow fans but not those from he capital!

And only 4 weeks after we’d won the CIS cup, how a team could go from that high, to such a dreadful 2 games against the Pars
They were managed by John Collins.

I'd add dunfermline semi final in 07 too

No goals in 180 mins with the likes of murphy, jones, sproule, boozy, Brown, whitty, benji, zemmama, Fletcher is ridiculous!!

Celtic were torture in the final as well, pretty sure they won it late on

Sol Bamba played a blinder for them, got in the way of every shot at goal, not that there were many mind you.
I had a horrible feeling it was going to end badly.

I was on the Hawkhill bus that day, a couple of windows got put in IIRC.

Was that the same bus that left from Shades bar . Remember the bus window getting tanned . Poor wee boy got his head split with the brick . Couple of guys jumped out the smashed window in the top deck to set about the neds ,who had Rangers tops on .

Another vote for the Stirling Albion replay in 1998/99. Chris Jackson with the winner, in an era when ex players seemed to score against us constantly

Stuart Lovell missed an open goal in front of the Hibs end .
