Guess the game

[we are hibs]

Can be hibs related or not. You need to describe a goal without letting on what game and final score it was and the person who guesses right then has their own go. Ill start with a fairly easy one:


O'Connor just knocked one down for Sproule to run onto and hammer home to put us 2 up. Whats the game and final score?

[calumhibee1]

3-0 v rangers at Ibrox in Scottish Cup 2006

[JeMeSouviens]

This would be better without names: diminutive midfielder makes jinking run towards box, plays 1-2 with hefty centre forward, the return is flicked up in the air and he runs onto to it and crashes a volley from 12 yards giving the keeper no chance.

[Pretty Boy]

A long Diagonal ball, 1st touch right foot, 2nd touch right foot, fired into the top corner with the outside of the right foot. One of the great World Cup goals.

Hibs v Celtic, Easter Road. Final score was 2-2, they equalised with a few minutes remaining...was bitter sweet as meant I won a decent bit of money (my mate and I pooled our bets at the time, wasn’t mine) few hundred quid, still felt sick for a couple hrs after though!

Am I right?! 😂💚

It was a bit.

Ok, try this. Teen starlet bursts between 2 defenders and is sandwiched, just outside the box. His momentum takes him into the penalty area and to the amazement of the knot of travelling away fans and fury of the apoplectic hordes surrounding them, the ref gives a pen. Cool as a cucumber striker dispatches the spot kick before making imaginary call to celebrate.

[147lothian]

We get a free kick outside the box, striker puts it in the top left hand corner, the ref orders the free kick to be re-taken striker puts it in the top right hand corner.

Ally.mcleod. V Dundee

[BS44]

Away game at a ground that we haven't had much success at for a good few years. We have been tremendous but score is still 0-0, and the Hibs fans can't believe we are not winning. Then, last minute our right full back scores a wonder goal volley from just outside the box.

Ensy wendsy clue is game was late 80's or very early 90's

No one's getting this 😀

Willie Miller og at Tannadice 🤔

[Pretty Boy]

Goal kick is hit long, defence back off as a unit, lone striker takes a touch and spins, takes another touch then hits it left footed, keeper gets a hand to it and maybe should do better, away fans (and an entire country) don't give that fact a single thought.

Be surprised if a Hibs fan could come up with a better OG than Miller scored that day

I can distinctly remember Goram looking at him as if to say how the f u c k did you manage that 😀

[BS44]

Sunny when we went one nil ahead, snowing at the equaliser.

And then, long kick forward from goalie and a loose ball, we pick it up and one pass backward, inside one, inside two, inside three and in it goes. One of the biggest roars I've heard at ER when we score

Lovely sunny day:

A long diagonal ball by the left back catches out the opposition’s centre back and our forward has the legs to get in behind him and lob the oncoming goalkeeper to put the Hibees ahead starting scenes of pandemonium in the away end.....

Kevin Harper got the winner in that game. It was snowing when fat Robbo’s free kick went in though. Just before we got relegated, they won the cup and my first son was born. A rollercoaster time.

:top marksStill amazed to this day that none of their defenders got a header on it before it took the bounce, I remember it fondly because a guy I worked with was a Livi fan we met before the game for a pint, great banter when I returned to work

Aye that's right, we were hanging on a bit at 2 - 1 if my memory serves me right

[StirlingHibee]

OK here goes, but I should add my memory is not as good as it used to be so please forgive any inaccuracies. A wee clue I think it was late 80s or early 90s. Game is 0-0 at Easter Road. Game is very tetchy and opposition goalkeeper (Dutch) has been sent off for an altercation with our Striker. Couple of minutes left and we win a corner at our home end. Midfielder (who went on to become a Manager) scores and the place goes mental as we win 1-0. I think I've got it right??

[Pretty Boy]

A cross is cut out by a sliding defender but his clearance doesn't remove the danger. From 25 yards the classiest player on the park rifles it past the debutant goalkeeper and into the bottom corner. Looking resplendent in long sleeves and gloves he runs the length of the park to celebrate with his adoring public.

Danny Lennon? If memory serves correctly, Brian Irvine went in goal for the sheep after Snelders was sent off and he saved the penalty. Looked like they were holding on right up until Lennon put it away.

My first trip to ibrox, Darren Jackson scored. Harper was the player fouled 👍

[Smartie]

Biggest game in a generation to be played in the country.

Whilst he would never quite reach John McGinn’s level, the thumping volley scored by one of the world’s best players nearly knocked down the goal that the Hibs fans would successfully destroy a few years later.

[we are hibs]

A typically frantic and scrappy start to the game, the ball is eventually forced wide to a speed merchant who races down the line. He mi****s a cross that falls to one of his team mates who would become a villain in later years to the home support, helps it on to the big centre forward to lays it off to a new signing who composes himself 6 yards out, sends 2 defenders crashing into each other and sends the international goalkeeper the wrong way to go 1-0 up in the opening 5 minutes.

The clock strikes 90, a throw in down the left helped inside to a box to box midfielder who forces it to the young striker just inside the box before being wiped out. The young striker ignores all around and plants a curled effort into the top corner.
