BBC Old Highlights

[Greenbeard]

Must be a Jambo in charge of posting these on BBC Scotland Sport page? Currently got the 2012 Cup Final, GMS hat-trick for the Sheep v us, and now the Hamilton play off which sent us down. FFS BBC. Neutral my erse.

[Deansy]

No great surprise, the BBC is very much the 'Establishment's national media-tool !. Think it's still to mention the muppets leaked e-mail ??

Up next, best 100m, Ben Johnson in Seoul followed by best cycling, Lance's 7th tour. :rolleyes:

[Gloucester Hibs]

Seen a recent Tom English article covering “Neil Lennon’s 10 years in management” where Hibs didn’t get a single mention! 😳

[SideBurns]

The BBC could surely delve a little further back into their archives? Just plucking a season at random, but I hear there was quite an exciting end to 1985-86, for instance.

Yeah, I was pretty pissed off with that as well. He has been a manager for 10 years and 2 of them with Hibs but English didn't think that merited a mention. He is a blustering arse who is like the pub bore who talks loudly so that it makes him sound line he knows everything. I'm a huge rugby fan as well and he talks as much ***** about rugby as he does about football

Spot on. In particular it’s obvious he know SFA about rugby. Spouts cliches and bull**** about the Scotland team. Still being Irish myself the silver lining for me is I don’t have to listen to his clueless nonsense about the Ireland team :)
His sucking up to Budge and the yams is pathetic but overall his anti journalism fits right in at the BBC unfortunately - whose recent treatment of Michael Stewart sums them up perfectly.

[Biggie]

Just watched the 2012 final again, jesus that was grim viewing.
At least 2 deflected goals, and a pen that the initial contact was outside the box.

Getting a goal back just before half time gave us some hope but the penalty and sending off one minute into the second half killed the game and we just couldn’t find a way back from there
second half was painful and referee completely ruined it as we all know

Yep. For a quarter of those 10 years he was Hibs manager with loads of memorable moments and talking points - good and bad. English seems to hold a grudge against us for some reason.

[G B Young]

You're not wrong about the bias of whoever's in charge of this. The latest 'from the archives' is Bogdan being beaten by a shot from inside the opposition half.

Have Hibs actually featured positively in any of these clips or highlights since BBC Scotland starting putting them up?

Sir David's header did feature quite early on in this shutdown (see link below)... But I think that's it. They're all a bit random, not 'on this day' or anything. Just plucking bits and bobs from their library and it's mostly recent stuff, which is probably easier to access.

They'll be trying to find a team by team balance - it just so happens the Aberdeen, Hamilton and St Mirren goals are all against us!

As for kicking off the cup "classics" with 2012, well that's just plain wrong on so many levels. Very suspect.

I have not been watching them but in fairness there have been a few belters of games. My most vivid memory is a game in the nineties where Gary Stevens is defending and doing the full back thing and knocking it into touch to allow his teammates to regroup. Instead of just tapping it out he belts it into the the stand from about ten yards out, straight into Celtic fans. Couldn’t be more deliberate if he tried. They jump up and swarm forward, and you can literally see Stevens looking panicky.

They are both horrible teams for different reasons but their face-offs do provide good theatre from time to time.

The way Stanton took the game by the scruff of the neck, particularly in the first half, was just majestic, every time things broke down in midfield, he was there to pick it up and start something and then, when the game was meandering in the second half, it’s his injection of pace by picking up the loose ball in midfield and driving on for the sixth, what a leader the man was !

I was born in 74 so have only ever seen Bremners miss from this game. Watching it now and I know the game was more physical back then, but Brazilians very cynical. Such a difference from their 1982 team.

Impressed with how Scotland played.

[CMurdoch]

Haven't seen that game since watching it in 74' as a 14 year old.

Nae wonder there were nae goals. The wall at free kicks was at most 8 yards away but more importantly any player from either side who looked like he was about to do something good was brutally kicked, dragged or body checked to the ground. Result, a measly 2 yellow cards to Brazil.

Story goes that Eddie Turnbull was giving his prematch team talk arms waving about just then a Sporting Lisbon official enters the HIBS Dressing Room with a tray of Rolex watches Eddie Turnbull turns around and accidentally knocks the tray up into the air Johnny Hamilton sitting there patiently listening to Eddie Turnbull calmly says “Look Boss time flies!”

Probably the game that a neutral would pick to represent this date. What is more bizarre is when you look at the headlines for the individual clubs. Our headline is that story about that game whilst the Hearts lead story is the Obika goal that expelled them! We're not the only ones being trolled.

As an aside, why are Hearts still on the Premiership page and not Dundee United?

For the first time a team makes both cup finals while playing in the lower leagues and wins the Scottish Cup after 114 years.

I was at the game and 'the miss' was as excruciating in real life as it was on telly. The Brazilian team were probably the worst they've ever fielded and a right dirty bunch of cheats, unlike their fans who were amazing.

I bumped into my brother before the game (remember, no mobiles) and he'd been in a pagger a couple of days before and was covered in cuts and bruises, but this was in the bad old days before we realised it was nice to be nice.

I still have my programme which I got autographed by Rod Stewart (complete with greasy burger pawprint) and Junior Campbell at the Zaire game.

Scotland v Netherlands 1978 on now
What a game! Esp on the back of the absolute Tom Kite in the first two games. Some folk say the Dutch took it easy but when you watch it again we just outplayed them with some superb stuff. Is that the best ever Scotland performance? Loved the speed of play. Every free kick, shy etc taken quickly. No farting about. We could have been
4-0 up at half-time instead of 1-1! Jordan's header crashing off the bar, the offside goal which would very likely stand today (the two in the middle were well onside when the cross was hit but I think an out-of-shot Tom Forsyth on the far side might have been the player flagged, however he was not interfering with play), the Dalglish "goal" when he was deemed to have fouled the defender. That was as much a 50/50 call as the dubious penalty they got. If only both of these decisions had gone the other way. 4-0 Scotland at H-T!!

Bang out of order.

I defended their choice on Tuesday as the obvious one, but here they've scraped the bottom of the barrel to avoid the only realistic choice.
