Alex Gogic rose at the back post to head home a Dales corner after 17 minutes to give Hamilton a half-time lead
Jack Ross rung the changes at half-time with the ineffective Slivka and Hallberg being replaced by Omeonga and Newall
The change seemed to work after 10 minutes when Kamberi played a ball inside the full back Martin Boyle scampered onto it chipped the ball over the goalkeeper and watched in agony as the ball rebounded off the post Luckily the ever vigilant Christian Doidge was there to knock the ball home getting there just ahead of Gogic
Just when it looked as though Accies would hang on for a well deserved point Paul Hanlon Captain Courageous rose to determinedly head home a Boyle cross with five minutes to go

The second arrived when he flicked a Garry O’Connor cross high past Combe
Derek was denied a hat-trick shortly before half-time when Garry Hay kicked his effort off the line after Combe had parried a Fletcher drive
The third goal arrived when after a pass from that man Glass Riordan drilled a low drive from the left hand side of the box powerfully past Combe

The match took place one week later and the visitors looking good took an early lead
‘Darling Willie Groves’ then took a hand in proceedings grabbing an excellent equaliser and giving HIBS a second half lead. James Montgomery making sure of a Hibernian win with a third
Hibernian Park erupted in celebrations the slum team from Edinburgh’s Irish neighbourhood were in the final of the Scottish Cup Or were they?
Vale of Leven lodged a protest stating that the man who had destroyed them Willie Groves was in receipt of illegal payments accusing him of professionalism a serious charge in those days
It was to roll on to be one of the most bitter and controversial cases ever heard by the SFA

The Clydebank"thing" happened before 1968. To be honest I had forgotten all about that. Seemingly although Clydebank "stole" their identity the original club was never disbanded. It appears to be like us when we stopped for a season and got playing again.Quote:

Think that Clyde game was at Firhill. Absolutely Baltic. Also think it was Miller's first goal for Hibs - a cross-cum-shot (to be generous) that deceived the keeper.
Edit: 1991 Clyde game obviously
Always liked Willie Miller bit of a radge but thought he would have hung about longerQuote:

I mentioned previously how low the crowd was at the first game at ER and I'm sure there was about 2-3k more at this one.
Strangely, it was quite common then to play in front of poor crowds at ER but pretty decent attendances, with a big travelling Hibs support, when we played the same teams away from home.
8552 at East End that night :confused:Quote:

If anything it’s smaller than what it once was.Quote:

An easy victory for HIBS on a wind swept Easter Road
Young Kenny Miller was alert and rushed into the box to head home the opener after only two minutes
Matty Jack gave Dunfermline a lifeline after 30 minutes when he was uncharacteristically short with a pass-back and could only watch in horror as David Graham waltzed around Colgan to fire home the equaliser
Grant Brebner eased the hibee nerves just before half-time when he restored HIBS’ lead
Second half and HIBS gave a debut to young Ian Murray who scored with his first touch firing home from close range after a Kenny Miller effort had been blocked on the line
HIBS now stepped up the pressure as the wind increased and it was obvious that poor Dunfermline were being outclassed
Derek Collins scored his first goal for the club to complete an easy victory when he lobbed Pars keeper Mampaey with only minutes to go

I'd given up my season ticket a number of years earlier and hadn't been back due to real life priorities. Then Hibs announced a share issue but only to those fans on the database, and this was the game I picked to buy a ticket so that I was eligible. Despite the ending, I attended a few more games for a couple of seasons when time permitted, before finally cracking and getting another season ticket.Quote:

Reference the disastrous Stirling Albion cup tie.Here’s a question for you history boys that follow this thread.What was the common factor between David McCallum and Chris Jackson who scored for the Binos that night.Please note Billy as the curator of this thread you are not allowed to answer this question.
Re the cup tie in 1957 when we lost 3-4 to Aberdeen, on that same day Hearts lost to Rangers in the cup at Tynecastle & Scotland played France i think at Murrayfield! About 120k attended the 3 games. Nowadays, with all the modern equipment & technology they can't cope with 20k at ER & Tiny on the same day!

O’Connor then flicked a long through ball into the path of Ivan Sproule who buried a low shot into the corner of the net from 18 yards

4/2/1950 Scottish League Division One
Hibernian 4 v 1 Celtic
Turnbull 4 ( 3 pens )
This match saw four penalties awarded but from a HIBS point of view is best remembered for Eddie Turnbull’s hat-trick of penalties
Eddie Turnbull scored his first penalty when McGrory fouled Reilly in the box after 20 minutes
Celtic were then awarded a penalty that Bobby Collins had to take twice and converted following an infringement
HIBS then lost Tommy Younger to injury and Willie Clark had to take over in goal leaving HIBS down to 10 men
Just before half-time that man McGrory again pulled Bobby Johnstone down in the box step forward Ned to do the needful
Five minutes into the second half and Gordon Smith set up Turnbull for a tap in to complete his hat-trick
Turnbull completed his hat-trick of penalties 20 minutes from the end to earn a remarkable victory against all the odds
HIBS would lose the league in this season on goal average

Hibernian 4 v 0 Brechin City
Morrow 24
O’Connor 32 57
Caldwell 63
Hibs cruised into the Scottish Cup Quarterfinals with a comfortable win over Brechin City
A deflected shot from Boozy hit the post before Sam Morrow curled a beauty past Craig Nelson from 16 yards HIBS further increased their lead when Garry O’Connor fired home a Derek Riordan cross eight minutes later
Into the second half and HIBS secured their place in the quarterfinals when Dean Shiels sent O’Connor scampering through the middle and despite a poor first touch was able to recover and slide the ball under the advancing Nelson
Six minutes later and Gary Caldwell put the icing on the cake when following a short corner his looping header from a Riordan cross deceived Nelson and his defence sneaking in at the far post

5/2/2004 Scottish League Cup Semi-Final
Hibernian 1 v 1 Rangers AET ( HIBS won 4-3 on pens )
Dobbie 79
After knocking out Celtic injury ravaged HIBS were up against it against Rangers at rain lashed Hampden Park
Rangers started the better and after 27 minutes Daniel Andersson upended Ronald De Boer in the penalty box but he quickly redeemed himself with a fine one handed save from Arteta’s spot kick
Rangers were not to be denied however and Michael Mols swept Rangers into the lead just before half-time from 15 yards after a defence splitting pass from Ross
Into the second half and play raged from end to end Hibs brought on Stephen Dobbie with 13 minutes to go and he equalised within a minute latching on to a Derek Riordan pass and lashing the ball home from 12 yards
HIBS were galvanised as they went for the kill Fernando Ricksen was lucky to escape punishment when he elbowed Riordan in the face and Garry O’Connor had a decent claim for a penalty waved away
HIBS pushed forward in the first period of extra time but could not prise open the Rangers defence Into the second period and HIBS survived two mass scrambles in their own box with goal hero Dobbie booting a ball off the goalline
Onto penalties and both keepers had two fine saves apiece with Averladze blazing over the crossbar and Mattius Doumbe hitting the woodwork
With the scores at 3-3 Colin Murdock tucked away his kick and Frank De Boer hit the post cue celebrations among the 7000 rain soaked HIBS fans

Were there 7,000 Hibs fans at that 2004 semi? Seemed like fewer than that.
A great night, though
17 years since that hampden night, one of my favourite games!
One of the best Hibs supports I have had the pleasure of being in was the 2004 semi, not the biggest but what a great night.Quote:
