On cooncil telly should anyone be interested 😉
Just in case yer no interested in the English fitba
Was great watching the 0-7 and 6-2 matches, not so good the 1-5 Mark de Vries derby and the 4-4 loss after being 4-2 up in 94 mins!!:thumbsup:
I missed the 6-2 match as on holiday abroad, watched it in a pub with Arsenal and West Ham fans, they couldn't believe how good we were. Got absolutely ratted that night too:agree::agree:
I've never felt worse coming out of a ground than that 4-4 game.....even after that final.Quote:

Personally that was the worst season I experienced watching Hibs against that lot. First the 5-1, then losing 2 1 to two late goals at Easter Road, and finally that 4 4 game.Quote:

Was an absolute sin that we managed to throw away a 2 goal lead in stoppage time.
One of the games, along with 6-6 that makes me take nothing for granted as a Hibs fan. I still didn't think we were going to win after Gray scored in the cup final. Actually only started to relax when we scored our fifth in the league cup final. Crazy but that's what it's like being a Hibby.Quote:

After they made it 3-4 we took centre and it ended up getting passed back to him, rather than keep calm and stay in possesion and waste time, he punts it the park and they get a free kick. Okay, they've got the ball in their end and a free kick, just need Hibs to be competent and see it out. De Vries gets the ball up against our French left back. Stand up and don't let him make the cross, he dives and they make the cross.....
Looking back I wonder if Brebner didn't score after Mixu's penalty was saved we would have won the game, and my pal wouldn't have got himself arrested
I was in bits at the end of 4-4, from such a high you never thought was in any danger at all to that in two minutes.Quote:

I think this thread needs to get back on topic, so click here.
It is on Sportscene catch up from last night if anyone wants to watch it the big telly. 6 2 highlights as wellQuote:

That second goal on New Year’s Day 73 just gets better with every viewing. That ball from Edwards...
Funnily enough watched that three times this morning just sublime !Quote:

What a ball that was
Edwards was a superb player.I remember in I think his first game for us we were winning easily and one of the opponents lobbed our keeper and Edwards raced back and cleared the ball with an overhead kick.I realised we had got some player.
Scored the winner on his Easter Road debut versus Killie in a 3-2 win then I followed him up to old Muirton Park Perth where he scored another in a 2-0 winQuote:

So many Shades of Green on our kit over the years.
The Cup Final shade was nice.
Bottle Green ? Plenty bottle that great day!
However the shade(style) of our jersey in the 0-7 game is the (Hi) Bees Knees.
My favourite Hibs top.
A favourite Derby?
Well the game at Tynie 18th September 1965 when Jimmy O' got two on his birthday and my hero back then, Eric (The Rebel) Stevenson got the other two in a 4-0 hammering.
Fans were still coming through the turnstiles and we were already 4 up within the first 10 minutes.
Jambos were leaving as fans were arriving!
More bad news was the pubs did not open till 5pm back then.(closed at 2.30 till 5)
So they had to wait a while to drown their sorrows !
I was 13 at the time.
Is there footage of this game?
If so, i would love to view it.
I guess Jimmy would too!
Wiz Jimmy no meant to be in Blackpool that day ? 😃Quote:

He did not know till i think the Friday night that he was playing
in for Neil Martin (late injury i think)
He went down to Blackpool after the game .
It was already booked . He became old enough to drink that day of course
But he did not drink a lot in his early years
I think they drove down in his Ford Anglia
His first car !
Would have made it a more happier weekend i suppose.
