Correct on Antonio but not Alex

[worcesterhibby]

well done all... and apologies.. I cocked up ! Murph didn't play for Hartlepool (I was convinced he did) it was Middlesborough... my bad.

[gbhibby]

What team lost a penalty shoot out but still progressed in the competition.

[BILLYHIBS]

Inter-Cities Fairs Cup versus Roma.

Yip pretty sure Hibs would have reached the Final if they had introduced the ‘ away goals rule ‘ sooner

Hibs 2 v 2 Roma

Roma 3 v 3 Hibs

Hibs lost the play off in Rome in a heavy defeat played in stifling heat and in our close season IIRC

Was all a bit cloak and dagger

[flash]

What team lost a penalty shoot out but still progressed in the competition.

Probably Rangers.

[gbhibby]

Probably Rangers.
You are correct ref was unaware of the away goals rule still counting in extra time, this was against Sporting Lisbon in the CWC who were made the favourites to win the thing the following year we all know what happened when they came up against us.
