Boxing day winning 2-1 round about 88-89
I don't really have any good memories of trips to Pittodrie to see Hibs . I've probable been a couple of dozen times and have seen a few draws but never a win.
I remember going up on new year's day, 6 of us in a mk 3 escort estate, rough as a badger's bum. I think we got humped as per.
There was also a freezing cold midweek game where somebody was stabbed/knifed. At the end of the match (probably a defeat) the police were searching folk at the bottom of the steps as we left the beach end - as if anyone was going to keep a knife in their pocket as we waited half an hour to get out.
Definitely not my favourite Hibs memories.
The 0-0 draw when Jamie Mac missed a penalty a few seasons back. My wife’s first away match, the guy next to us seemed perfectly normal to chat to but developed some sort of Tourette’s when it came to anything to do with John Beaton. As soon as any whistle blew he launched into some weird tirade against him but would chat away to us quite normally in between.
That and the amount of coke being taken in the toilets was the most memorable moments.
Pizzagate. game under Calderwood where fans lost the plot that the players had pizzas delivered after the game.
Think we beat ICT & Aberdeen at pittodrie in same season, maybe one game after the other.
Another game I remember we lost 3-0 and were chased along union street by the mental crew towards the train station . Got on the train but it wasn’t going for about 5 mins and there must have been about a thousand of them in the station with us on the train ( well it seemed like a thousand) .
Game under Hecky when we absolutely battered them and ended up drawing. Was probably the beginning of the end for him.
Mid nineties, mid winter and I was a very young looking 16 (I think) year old. Having never been to Aberdeen I thought I would go to this one.
I grew up in Ayr and it was at Ayr train station that Saturday morning that I walked into and asked for a return to Aberdeen. I still remember the look of disbelief on the lady at the ticket counter and then the third degree i got from the staff.
I think they thought I was running away from home or something (I did ask for a return ticket!) I can understand where they were comming from as i looked about 12 and Ayr is a long way from Aberdeen.
It all worked out well in the end. I enjoyed the scenic journey, found my way to Pittodrie by following some fans and oh aye Michael O'Neill bagged the winner at a venue we very rarely got anything from back then.
The game just before Christmas in the 09/10 season. Stokesy scored 2.
Been up several times and think I’ve seen us win twice.
Two that come to mind, one being Riordans second game back when he scored a double with a late pen, the week after he’d scored the peach away at Hamilton, and a win around about Christmas in the snow under yogi which I think put us top of the league
2-0 win under Yogi think Stokes got both of them. Snowing and Baltic but a great day out, my last visit to Pittodrie actually.
I remember being at college in Aberdeen for 4 years during the Ferguson years - saw 8 league games during which we got one draw and 7 defeats.
Not really any good memories of that. I remember being in the Beach End when Gordon Durie got sent off and there was a surge of people going down to clap him down the tunnel - why would fans applaud a player getting sent off? I was also at the game when Aberdeen paraded the Cup Winners Cup.
I stayed for a few years afterwards though and things did pick up - I remember a good win in a big Hibs crowd on a midweek night when I'm sure Steven Tweed scored the winner - early 1990s?
We got beat 3-0 in the Scottish cup in 68, that must be the game your remembering. In 69 we won 6-2 there, we had already won at Parkhead, Ibrox & Tynie that season. My worst result around that time was 0-3, they got early revenge in September that year for Hibs topping the league cup section and Hibs being 4-0 up in the at half time in the last section game [and also decider, they were ahead on goal difference going into the game]. There were very few good memories that season, another involved certain white boots, a debut winning goal from a returning Joe Baker, "Rangers are Rubbish" comments and and an outrageous assist from the emerging Alex Cropley in the semi replay.
I seem to recall another Micky Weir goal up there when he played a tidy one two with A N Other around the half way line before running through towards the Beach End goal and clipping a finish beyond their keeper.
Midweek, I think we won 1v2 but could be wrong. Also remember a glorious rendition of ***** ***** that night.
Also attended the game up there the weekend after Gothenburg. Not such a happy day out got hammered 5v0 and (aged 16) got filled in by what I later learned was the early Aberdeen casuals :greengrin
The midweek cup game that we won on penalties. I think hibs put on busses for the game, but I’m not 100% sure about that. Me and my mate were absolutely hammered by the time we got up there and as we were paying in I looked back and saw him on his hands and knees picking up his money that he’d dropped, the police then told him he wasn’t getting in. I shouted back that I’d see him on the bus. He wasn’t having that though and he returned and got in this time, after about 5 minutes the police recognised him and threw him out, undeterred he returned again and paid in, he lasted a bit longer before being recognised again and the police grabbed him and took him to the cells for the night.
A 2-1 win, unexpected, around about 1977. McLeod winner followed by absolute carnage on the hill afterwards going back to the buses.
