First derby after the disastrous semi-final, and the last derby of the season. I was in Waterford for the weekend with the wife, had a very anxious afternoon as the texts came in with match updates; when I got the result through at full-time, my consumption of Guinness accelerated quite considerably! Great night in the Emerald Isle, but would've been an even better one in Leith I'm sure.

Cracking. Loved the post match interview. Injuries and suspension cost us the semi.

[hfc rd]

Benji’s goal celebration was brilliant 💚

[Johnny_Leith]

Remember it well. Hearts' goal was typical of goals we'd concede regularly then. How zibi remained at the club in that period I'll never know. He wa even given a contract extension?!

Murphy was some player. Stephen glass was an underrated player for me, thought he was consistently excellent for us. That starting lineup was missing a few regulars, it was definitely a talented squad and a lot of injuries around the semi final made it very difficult against a strong hearts team.

Just affirms my opinion that Archie MacPherson was undoubtedly the worst football commentator of all time.

[BILLYHIBS]

Not heard “ All the Hibees are gay” for years 😃

How old are they and so un PC

Will miss the derbies 😃

[Heisenberg]

Another classic from Zibi/our defence in a Derby. Loved Jay Shields steaming in to win the ball from Hartley for the first goal. Benji was class on his day. Great times.

If only Zibi put as much effort in to keeping the ball out of the net against Hearts as he did keeping Benji out of the Hearts end.

[Forza Fred]

You know you are getting Auld when the match referred to seems ‘not that Auld’ to you...

[Michael]

Benji was quality. Wish we signed more completely unknown genius players.

[bawheid]

Derek Riordan was such a quality player. What a finish for the first, and he’s scored much better derby goals too.

The pac-a-Mac’s game! You wait ages for an Edinburgh derby win then 2 come along at once 😊

[LaMotta]

Another excellent assist from Sproule - the accusations that he was a headless chicken that just dined off his hattrick at Ibrox were ridiculous.

Another howler from Zibby (aided by some pish poor defending).

Zibby's howlers cost us SIX goals across different games against Hearts - some worse than others, but all terrible goalkeeping. What is very strange is that he didn't make any howlers against any other teams :hmmm:. It's almost as if he was deliberately making those mistakes against Hearts. Were there any corrupt figures in the Hearts boardroom with a penchant for splashing the cash at the time I wonder?

That point on Sproule is spot on.

I was watching a lot of old highlights on Hibs TV. The likes of O’Connor got some amount of tap ins, around that time, from Sproule getting to the byline and cutting the baw back. He could finish as well.

Certainly coincidental the number of shockers zibi had v Hearts.

That was Hibs highest ever domestic attendance for a game not against Rangers, Celtc or Hearts (i.e. didn't have a massive away support inflating the attendance).

I was at that game

I remember an old pal o mine and some older ones here may remember him too
Peter McCue who frequented Mathers and the old Osbourne pub in Shandwick Place (opposite The Grosvenor)
Peter ran on the park from the old north enclosure against oldco, resplendent in a nifty camel coat and his sunday shoes
You couldnae miss him He was a big guy
A goal had not been scored ,but something rattled him
I think it was the ref (nothing new there then)
Anyway the polis marched him out.
He got back in and later in the game he invaded the pitch again.

Some guy was Peter
Exuberance !!
During the Tornado era,that was.

Peter McCue was a pal of my dad & uncle, both of whom drank in Mathers & The Osborne (you'll know/ have known both of them, Mick). I met Peter a few times in Mathers when I was younger, and heard some stories about him. Some guy as you say!

Did he not also run on the park when Brownlie broke his leg v East Fife to try to attack the ref? Or am I getting mixed up? My dad told me so many stories about these auld characters I'm probably prone to getting confused!!

Memories not that good
But i think yer correct
Peter had a liking for the Green Grass :greengrin

I do recall Mather's running a bus to the 79 Cup Final.
We all know violence that took place after that game (and the replays)
Well Mathers bus got attacked.
Big mistake by the huns.
The bus was full of guys well capable.
They battered the hun.
And guess what?
PC Plod decided to appear ,lifted a couple of our boys
Bus went to the polis station and they got them out/bail.
Couple of guys on the bus knew the legal stuff

Am sure there is a chapter about this incident in an old Hibs book.
Guys like Ian Watson, The Imries The Burns brothers ,Billy Walls and other assorted useful guys on that bus.
Hun picked the wrong bus that time
Without a doubt!

Yes, heard that one about the 79 final right enough (but not until many years after the event 😁)! The Burns brothers - that's ma auld man & uncle. The other names you mention all very familiar to me...

The Huns started it as you say, as apparently they did with most of the Hibs buses that day, but The Silver Fox bus fae Mathers emerged unscathed - which was more than can be said for the foolhardy Huns who fancied their chances.

At least one of the Imries had to make a return journey to Glesgae Sheriff Court later in the year, if I recall the tale correctly.

Billy's still doing fine, hope to catch him furra pint once the pubs reopen (my dad, Hughie, is away now as you might know). As you say, by all accounts not a group of men who actively looked for bother, but could handle it when it came their way. Certainly good enough to take care of the Huns that day in '79 😄!

Hughie was a gentleman
I mind he also drank in the Beechwood bowling club
I used to go there some Sundays and before hertz games
All the Best to Billy when you see him

Nice one, sent this to my dad (aged 90) and he clearly remembers going to this game on a bus from Morrisons and Gibbs at Canonmills. They got through and it was pandemonium, he and the younger guys jumped off and got in just before the gates closed, the rest of the bus couldn't get in and had to wait for my dad and his mates coming back after the game. Says it's one of the best Hibs games he ever attended, massive crowd and result :flag:

Better not send this link to my Dad who is 91.

He was a regular at the time and was at this game, I’m sure he always told me that Clyde clogged one of the Hibs players early doors (can’t remember who) and while he stayed on the pitch, Hibs effectively played almost the whole game with 10 men.

Another one that got away....

Another one that got away....Confirms what my late grandfather told me about that game. He told me who the Hibs player was ('fraid I can't recall) and that they hobbled about the whole game barking instructions to his teammates, acting as an onfield coach. Couldn't contribute much to the game as a player and our final was essentially over.

Another SCF that we should have won, according to the old fella. Its OK grandad, I was there for you on the slopes of Hampden in 2016 :greengrin

Thank you Billy.

Thank you Billy.

Just read a match report and apparently it was a terrible game we lost Aitken after 15 minutes and there was another injury to an unnamed player after 40 minutes with a twisted knee

Coyle’s goal took an unlucky deflection off Baxter’s toe and Baker missed a chance first half that was bread and butter for Reilly. It was a strange one for Reilly to retire a few days before a cup final

Clyde played the better football in spells and deserved their win but Reilly might have been a game changer and what a final hurrah

A typical trip to Glasgow bottles getting thrown after the game

Reilly was injured in what proved to be his last game for Hibs, v the Hun, a few weeks before the final. Out of the game aged only 29.

The no subs rule lasted until the early 60’s. How ridiculous was that.

The no subs rule lasted until the early 60’s. How ridiculous was that.

Reilly left the field to a guard of honour after scoring in a 3-1 win over Rangers

Reilly had made the decision to retire at the end of the season because his troublesome knee meant that he could no longer move as freely as he would have liked and would not settle for second best

Reilly was available for selection for the final but caught tonsillitis at the last minute giving Hugh Shaw an easy decision to make

At the time it a lot of us thought it was maybe “diplomatic tonsillitis “. I asked him many years later and he just smiled.

Yip he goes on to mention in his book that he felt John Fraser and Andy Aitken deserved their shot at glory as they had played in every round all the way through to the final

One of them probably would have to drop out to accommodate him

He said he ended up listening to the game at home on the radio

Has anybody ever seen video highlights of the 1997 relegation playoff second leg at Airdrie?

I distinctly remember there was a technical error on the 6 o clock news the next night which meant they couldn’t show the footage. I have never seen anything from the game.

That's one of those on my random wishlist.

Hearts in the 1979 Scottish Cup and Morton, first games of the 1998/99 first division, being the others.

Never seen highlights of this match

A big big game for the club

I looked behind me before kick off and Pat Stanton Joe Baker and Lawrie Reilly were all sitting together

Outstanding performances from Darren Jackson and Jim Leighton IIRC

Do or die

You won't see any Hibs league games from early in the 98-99 season. After the new SPL breakaway with a separate TV deal nothing was agreed for the remaining SFL until late Autumn that year. Eventually some brief First Division highlights were added on to the end of STV's Scotsport, with a separate Football First show starting in 1999 after Hibs had been promoted.

The only Hibs footage from that time is the League Cup games Vs Aberdeen 1-0 and St Johnstone 0-4.

When Scotsport did start showing First Division goals around October/December 1998 Hibs were nearly always on every week, and when the SPL took its first ever winter break in January 1999 Hibs were the main highlights on Scotsport when they played St Mirren away, a rare goal from Paul Hartley.

this was just a year or so before United ditched the white in favour of the now famous tangerine.

interesting Hibs shirt too, with the green encroaching slightly down the top of the white sleeves.

Just watched that. The standard isn't wonderful. Loads of basic errors with passing and control. Modern fans would be gaun radge with some of the poor play. The best players on view were Utd's Jimmy Millar and Davie Wilson, both at the veteran stage of their careers. Nice to see the auld Tannadice, a compact wee ground with those odd high walled corners to the terracing.

He’d be chased for not delivering in these times. He definitely took a couple of seasons to settle after signing and by the time he was a first pick he had Ally Scott as his strike partner.

He was good though, just a pity that he came into his prime in a side in decline.

The other pity is that he reached 99 competitive goals and was then freed.

Can't think of it off hand mate was it a volley? I remember a volley from outside the box against Rangers.

That was a belter and Jim Bett scored a similar one for them in the same game.
