What if?

[GreenGray]

What is the biggest “what if” moment you can think of as a Hibs fan?

One that springs to mind for me is; what if Jack Ross was backed as much as the preceding managers were e.g given the centre back and striker he asked for.

Or, what if Kyle Magennis hadn’t got injured that season?

What if Franck Sauzee hadn't broken his foot and what if Russell Latapy didn't go out on the raz!

[Centre Hawf]

What if we never got relegated is one that springs to mind but usually in a weird 'thank god we actually did' way.

Don't get me wrong it was awful and getting out the Championship proved to be a bit of a mess but I think we can all agree that the club that went down and the club that came back up were polar opposites of each other. That and we obviously won the cup.

If Tony Andreu skies that effort at the edge of the box in the play off final does the hoodoo live on?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

What if Hibs had signed David Platt from Crewe?

[SteveHFC]

What if Luna scored that header at the end against AEK.

[Alfiembra]

What if John Brownlie never broke his leg?
What if McLeish of Mogga weren’t poached away by the ugly sisters?

What if Dave Beaumont did the decent thing and scythed Wayne Foster down about 40 yards from goal?

[BILLYHIBS]

What if Brian McGinlay had awarded a penalty against Rangers for pulling Colin Campbell down in the box in the 1979 Scottish Cup Final ?

What if Mercer got his way?

[Heisenberg]

What if Mark Oxley hadn’t lost that contact lens

[Green Reaper]

What if George Best had been sober while at Hibs

Great idea for a thread by the way 👍

[Smartie]

What if Rangers' Championship winning team of 2016 could defend a corner kick?

[Kato]

What if Eddie Turnbull had been a cheery, gregarious party starter.

[Posh Swanny]

What if Miller had stuck that chance away at Easter Road last week? Would the refs have dared give three penalties to Celtic?

[leith lynx]

What if Alan Stubbs never gave Conrad Logan a trial?

[He's here!]

What if Jock Stein had stayed?

Good one. Even just until the end of that season and we'd have had at least one more trophy to our name I reckon.

Or if the inaugural European Cup had come five years earlier...the Lisbon Lions would have been in our shadow.

What if Steven Whitaker had scored when beating rangers 3-0 in the 5-5 game

What if the Old Firm never existed and the likes of Partick, Clyde and Queens Park were averaging 20k attendances instead (and hence a more competitive league!)

That was the one I immediately thought of.

[Broken Gnome]

I reckon we'd have had collective brain freeze, and not had a scoob what to do with an hour to go and only two goals needed.

Hark back to the game before - what if McGregor hadn't had that fresh air swipe in the last minute and we didn't need to beat the Huns by six.

I reckon we'd have done it, Aberdeen would've had even more pressure to win at Celtic and blown it, we'd have been 2nd and who knows what that could have done for us.

[worcesterhibby]

What if Sir David Gray had thought... "I'll stay back, there's only a minute to go and what if Rangers break quickly from the corner. I'd better play it safe."

[Hibbyradge]

That was the one I immediately thought of.

Me too, but it's too painful a memory.

Cheating b"*"*"*S.

[Pagan Hibernia]

What if Liam Henderson hadn't delivered...?

What if we hadn't been quite so successful in the 1880s and the Glasgow Irish thought it not worth their while in following our lead.

[Since452]

What if we had signed Didier Agathe on a longer contract

[Donegal Hibby]

What if we never appointed butcher

[Groathillgrump]

What if we'd moved to Straiton? :hmmm:

[MKHIBEE]

What if the referee had given us the penalty in the 79 Cup Final?

[worcesterhibby]

what if it had been made illegal for referees to be masons in the 1960's. The whole history of Scottish Football would be different.

[ChilliEater]

What if Eddie Turnbull had bought George Stewart instead of Joe Harper?

What if Tony Mowbray had been able to add 2 experienced players - like a Sauzee and a Mixu - to the Golden Generation side?

[B.H.F.C]

What if Hearts had scored their two early sitters in 0-7 ?

Aw well it would have been 7-2 then :greengrin

[Pagan Hibernia]

This one gets to me too.

And then I start thinking about 2021 and those missed opportunities against St Johnstone when we were favourites for both cups and the old firm already knocked out.

Could easily have been two cup doubles in the space of five years. Ah well. If only eh.

Ridiculous as it sounds when he shipped 7 goals, their keeper actually had a decent game and pulled off some good saves. One in particular from Stanton I still have no idea how he got to it. Should have been double figures. That goes for the 6-2 game too.

Albert Kidd wasn't brought on as a sub....:cb

What if Joe Baker had stayed with us in the 60s and been allowed to play for Scotland.

[Smartie]

What if the iconic photographs from Dens Park 1986 were of a bruised, battered, faeces splattered Craig Levein hoisting the league championship trophy aloft with one hand, grasping the first of what would go on to be numerous medals in his other hand, having bravely put discomfort and embarrassment to one side to bravely drag his side to victory in their hour of need?

[Tommy75]

Mogga was poached away by WBA.

What if we appointed Mcinnes after sacking Ross?

What if we signed Adam Rooney ahead of Aberdeen?

What if we never let Paul Hartley go

[He's here!]

We blew a great chance to win two cups in 2006/07 by losing to Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup semi-final replay. Think they were already relegated yet we failed to score against them over two games. Celtic weren't at their best that year and wouldn't have been a stick-on to win the final had we reached it. That one really, really rankled with me. It was the time of the player revolt but they should have been professional enough to put that to one side and get the job done.

[Since452]

What if we'd beaten bottom of the table Dunfermline in the 2007 Scottish Cup semi and faced a dodgy Celtic team in the final after having already won the League Cup that year.

[Donegal Hibby]

What if we'd moved to Straiton? :hmmm:

Or worse Aberdeen 😳

Too damn right!

This.

This and… what if Neil Berry hadn’t broken Paul Wrights leg? Still to this day reckon that day Wright was a handful and we’d have won that came.

I could imagine the Jambos would intentionally harm another player to win against Hibs.

[Pretty Boy]

What if we had kept the midfield and forward combo of McGinn, McGeouch, Allan, Kamberi and MacLaren for one more season?

[Northernhibee]

Paul Wright was looking the real deal could turn on a sixpence a bag of tricks speed to burn deadly finisher the only way the donkey could stop him was break his leg

You just knew he would come back to haunt us

I’m sure it was five goals we needed to win by?

Aberdeen would not have known what was going on at ER, the players anyway.

They won, and finished second and I reckon if we had beaten Rangers by 5 (or 6 if it was needed) we wouldn’t have finished second anyway.

That’s madness! I could not begin to imagine how glorious that would be!

Fwiw, I reckon we’d have been beat in Invershnecky had we won the Lc.

Players still out on it.

What if Scottish referees called every decision correctly?

[SHODAN]

Purely from memory, what if:

Gow scored when clean through to make it 2-2
Nish scored when clean through to make it 1-0
Palsson, Riordan, Thornhill or half the team scored easy chances to make it 2-1 or 3-2
Caldwell scored that point blank header to make it 2-1
Griffiths' free kick was given as over the line to make it 1-0
Craig scored when clean through to make it 1-1, or we scored any of the other 20 chances we had in that game
Forster's header wasn't ruled out for offside to make it 1-1
Collins scored from point blank to make it 2-2
Craig scored the penalty to make it 1-0
Shaw's strike was given as over the line to make it 1-0
Nisbet scored the penalty to make it 2-1
Campbell scored with the goalkeeper stranded to make it 1-0
We scored any of our ****ing 50 chances to make it 2-2
We scored any of our ****ing 50 chances to make it 2-1


I don't need to mention the opponent.

[ancient hibee]

Jock Stein staying is the big shout for me.

[Bushwoof]

John Brownlie for me. I'm convinced we'd have won the league.

Other than that, what if Andy Roxburgh had put Goram in goal at Italia 90 instead of the wreck that was Leighton at the time (and given Collins a go instead of Jim F****in Bett).

[CockneyRebel]

What if Hibs had signed David Platt from Crewe?


:aok:

[KdyHby]

What if

Hibs had signed Billy Bremner when he was homesick at the start of his Leeds career, Hibs offered £25k, Leeds wanted £30k; and

Hibs had beaten Ross County and gone on to win the double in 2016

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

:aok:

Cheers, he would've probably ended up playing like David Platt from Coronation Street. 😄

[sleeping giant]

What if Crombie hadn't given a free kick against us for keeping the ball.

[Bobby's Cinema]

What if we never let Aberdeen in to score 10 seconds into the semi defending the cup, and what if their keeper never saved Marciano's header with the last touch and it went in at the SDG end.
