I was at all of these games.
The cup tie against Third Lanark was played just before they folded. I seem to have a recollection that there was a small band of Thirds fans at the Dunbar end with placards each with a different letter spelling Thirds.
Anyone else of a certain age remember this or is it nonsense?

I'm sure there was more than that at the '91 semi final, though. It probably just seemed less because we were so widely spread out on the terrace that night.
Billy,I might be getting my dates mixed up but did Hibs play Brechin City on 5 February 2005 in the Scottish Cup beating them 4-0.It’s sticks in my memory because I was too late getting tickets for the Hibs end as they were sold out and had to go to the Brechin end.Good job Brechin didn’t score,because didn’t know what form the Brechin celebrations might have taken.

7/2/2016 Scottish Cup Round 5
Hearts 2 v 2 Hibernian
Cummings 80
Hanlon 90+1
Hibs looking down and out against their Premiership rivals famously came back from the dead to live to fight another day
In the first half it was HIBS who had the better of the early play with McGinn testing Neil Alexander with a drive and Stokesy heading just over from a corner
Things changed on the half hour however when Dylan McGeouch had to leave the field of play due to injury giving yet another HIBS debut to Kevin Thomson
Minutes later and Hearts were two up Djoum fired in an excocet that flew past Mark Oxley at a rate of knots following a poor clearance then Sam Nicholson brought down a Callum Paterson cross in the box on his chest and repeated the dose
Into the second half and HIBS showing true character started to dominate with Bartley bossing the midfield pegging Hearts back and Gunnarsson on for SDG went close with a header and Stokesy smashed one into the side net
Just when it looked as though all HIBS’ pressure would come to nothing Liam Henderson dinked in a cross and Jason Cummings sent in a looping header off his new gelled barnet up and over Alexander and in at his back post
HIBS continued to press for the equaliser and into stoppage time Alexander thought he had done enough at a corner when he repelled Darren McGregor’s header but Paul Hanlon was alive to the rebound and slid the ball home through a forest of legs Cue joyful celebrations in the School End
Hearts were not done however and in true Gorgie tradition the stoppage time came from nowhere Gunnarsson managed to clear a defensive header off his own crossbar and midfield dynamo Kevin Thomson managed to boot a last minute net bound Blazej Augustyn effort off the line
HIBS would win the Scottish Cup in this season

Hibs were on the end of a Scottish Cup shock in this match
Although fielding a strong side - many of the HIBS team would go on to play in the 1923 and 1924 Scottish Cup Finals - HIBS were unable to make the most of the many chances created and Armadale scored the winner in one of their rare forays up the Park
Worth mentioning that this was a season of Cup shocks :
Armadale also saw off Clyde ( a decent side then) and Ayr United before losing out to eventual winners Kilmarnock who beat shock troops Albion Rovers ( who had knocked out the mighty Rangers in the semi final ) in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park in front of 96000 fans

Callachan then hit the post but in reality it was a brilliant save by Ben Williams before HIBS supporting Dougie Hill put Raith ahead once again with a deft flick
Just before half-time Michael Nelson pulled HIBS back level with a fine header from a Liam Craig corner
Into the second half and Grant Anderson scored the winning goal half way through the half with what looked like a backward head-flick that seemed to deceive Williams all ends up

That Raith cup game was horrendous to be at. Little did we know it was to get a whole lot worse that season.
The 7-0 Livi game I was in a meeting near San Francisco. I'm sure everone wondered what I was up to fiddling below the table with my mobile, honest! First time I've seen the goals, thanks!! What a team of legends!
I remember bemoaning the lack of that one victory that would have saved Hibs from the play-off for months. But that would have papered over the cracks and possibly kept Butcher in a job (although I'm sure Dempster would have made the same decision even if the Hamilton play-off never happened).Quote:

Thing I most recall of that disaster of a cup tie against Raith Rover was the look on Calum Booths face who was on loan at Raith Roves that day.It was a mixture of “TF I’m not playing for these no hopers” and “how bad am I that I can’t get a game here.
Always liked Booth,but he was another in the long list of young players at ER whose potential was never realised.Appears to now have a gig at St Johnstone as an unused sub.

102342 fans fillied Ibrox to watch this intriguing battle of Rangers’ Iron Curtain Defence versus the imperious Famous Five
Simpson gave the Scottish Cup holders an early lead and Rangers retreated into their shell putting up their defensive wall
This enabled HIBS who had got off to a nervous start to find their rhythm and get their passing game together HIBS equalised just before half-time when Gordon Smith met an Ormond cross on the volley and the ball fairly flew into the Rangers net
Into the second half and HIBS obviously hadn’t learned their lesson from the first half when Simpson scored his and Rangers’ second
Fatally Rangers reverted to type and flooded their defence
HIBS were known for their flexibility and imagination and took the game by the scruff of the neck
Eddie Turnbull equalised with one of his cannonball specials and Rangers now found themselves in a quandary do they stick or twist? Problem was they were now pinned back into their own half unable to get out as the green and white jerseys swarmed around their box
With nine minutes to go HIBS sealed their win
Hibs had a freekick outside the Rangers box Rangers put up a nine man wall Eddie Turnbull lined up for a thunderbolt but he played the ball short to Willie Ormond who quickly passed it to Johnstone who fired home from a tight angle

https://youtu.be/20yNTYTaBgM
This game was played at a sodden Hampden Park as Celtic Park was undergoing renovations
Celtic took the lead when Celtic Captain John Collins fired home after 5 minutes.
Jim Leighton thought he had saved the initial attempt but he didn’t get enough on it and watched in agony as it clipped the post on the way in
Hibs equalised when last season’s Celtic FC top scorer Pat McGinlay a £425000 signing in November fired home past Pat Bonnar.
A goal he celebrated by giving Celtic Manager Tommy Burns a long satisfied stare
Celtic were struggling with Kevin Harper’s pace the young striker taking up good position but squandering any chances that came his way
Celtic took the lead early into the second half when Willie Falconer expertly headed home a John Collins cross giving Jim Leighton no chance
Hibs replaced Joe Tortolano with Mark McGraw with ten minutes to go and this change brought immediate rewards when the young striker fired home from the edge of the box past the unsighted Bonnar following a HIBS corner
At the final whistle the players left the field of play to the sound of Hibees! Hibees! ringing in their ears

The sensation of the Peebles game was that Willie Ormond scored an absolute rasper with a right foot shot.An old guy standing beside me claimed he’d never seen him kick the ball with his right foot never mind score.
Little known fact!! Gene Pitney had a huge hit in USA with the theme tune from The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance (written by Burt Bacharach) but the song never featured in the film!Quote:

I had never seen that 2-2 game with Celtc at Hampden, thanks Billy. Typical OF bias with 2 reps from the uglies in the studio. Also, Jock Brown interviews John Collins about Celtc, then 20 seconds into interviewing Jim Leighton about Hibs, he asks him about Celtc!!! Plus ca change!! I also noticed huge swathes of empty seating unoccupied by the greatest fans in the world!Quote:

Hibernian 2 v 1 Dumbarton
Montgomery
Groves
Green shirted Hibernian were first onto the park led by their captain James McGhee and they received a rapturous welcome while Dumbarton in their blue and white striped jerseys were politely welcomed by their supporters who only numbered a few thousand
Hibernian won the toss booked the wind and Dumbarton kicked off on a slippery surface which was very hard underneath Play swung from end to end with defences on top When the forwards did get a chance their shooting was wild and the goalkeepers had very few saves to make Near the end of the first half play became rough and the Referee was kept busy
Play continued in a similar fashion in the second half up until the 60th minute when Aitken put Dumbarton ahead with an unsaveable shot after which they used spoiling tactics to try and hold on to their lead This was a mistake as the Irish crowd roared Hibernian on to one of their famous fight-backs
The forwards responded with some brilliant play and a strong run and angled shot from Phil Clarke which Dumbarton’s international goalkeeper could not hold allowed James Montgomery to follow through and fire home the equaliser
The green Jerseys now went all out for the winner and dominated the game with their strength and skill Following a Dumbarton corner the defence cleverly played the ball to Paddy Lafferty who fed Willie Groves and went on a decoy run down the right wing ‘Darling’ Willie Groves then went on one of his famous mazy dribbling runs that took him right into the heart of the Dumbarton defence and he coolly hit the ball home while Dumbarton vainly tried to claim offside
The celebrating on the terraces was wild For the last ten minutes of the game the noise was indescribable and when the final whistle went the Hibernian players were carried off the field of play shoulder high
There was an air of disbelief about what had just happened Hibernian had done the impossible and had won the greatest prize in Scottish football The poor team from Edinburgh’s Irish neighbourhood had actually won the Scottish Cup

In the fifth minute Scotland Captain George Young handled in the box and a penalty was awarded Rangers goalkeeper Bobby Brown trying some 1950’s gamesmanship asked Eddie Turnbull ‘ if he could have a feel of the ba?’
The request was met with a curt response telling him he would get a touch of it in two seconds when he picked it out the back of the net a promise Turnbull kept sending Brown the wrong way
Rangers equalised when Tommy Younger punched the ball into his own net following a cross from McCulloch under pressure from Willie Woodburn
Going into the second half and Younger redeemed himself with two brilliant saves Lawrie Reilly then gave HIBS the lead when following a lightning counterattack he cutely lobbed Brown
George Young equalised for Rangers from the penalty spot late into the game when Howie handled in the box

I was in the The Rangers end for the game that Lewis scored that belter. Courtesy of complementary tickets. We were right behind the director's box. Fortunately their fans were revolting at the time and left after 20 minutes or so in protest at the board.
Couldn't help but jump up when the second goal went in. Lucky man.
A per usual, I was on the Artisan bus to the game at Tannadice and when we got back, everybody was desperate to find out if any of their mates were on the bus that crashed and if they were OK.
I was just a kid and didn't know anybody else that had travelled up but there were quite a few adults from our bus in a bit of a panic.
The game at Tannadice obviously sticks in the minds of a lot of us.
I was in the Arabs' end, with a couple of mates... could've sworn that Sturrock scored for them. TBF, I was buried in an orange mist for a wee while.
In the 4-2 defeat of Gretna,Hibs had a player called Aberaouf Zarabi.I was at that game and have absolutely no recollection of a player of that name.Any background info.
Only played 8 games for us signed from FC Gueugnon sold to NimesQuote:

Well spotted
I was at the ‘71 cup game at Tynecastle but can’t remember a “Duncan” at left back? Pretty sure it wasn’t Bobby Duncan who was a right back in any case. Can anyone help?
It looks as if we had 3 Duncans that day :greengrinQuote:

I agree that Bobby Duncan was a right back but he appears to take up the left back position at the Hearts free kick and makes himself available for Stanton’s pass before feeding Arthur from the left back side of the pitch
The Manager was Dave Ewing who was a Coach at Man City and had some unorthodox ideas :wink:
Bobby Duncan came in for Mervyn Jones who seemed to drop out of the picture for a few weeks before being reintroduced
