Has O'Leary's penalty come down yet?

Nope it's still in orbit - alongside Steven Whittaker's

I was in the " Cave " ( notice John says " Shed " - until a few years ago here on hibs.net I`d never heard that name - " shed " was at Tynecastle ) that night and I reckon O`Leary`s penalty went over roof but was that physically possible ? Only 3 days later , we kicked off with same XI ( think Celtic did too ) but we lost 0v5 . Was surprised to read we finished so low in league but checked and yes we were 8th of 10 teams - hadn`t remembered that Dundee United ( who beat us on last day ) finished just 3 points behind leaders and Aberdeen only 6 behind . If we finish 10th but reach LC final and SC semi this season , many will consider it a good season .

We lost so heavily mainly due to playing the entire match with 10 men, i'm sure it was Gordon Rae got sent off very early.

I was only 12 at the time but we also called it the cowshed and I remember a big group of us sat in the cowshed that night and being behind the goal when O'Leary blasted over. I also remember the last game of the season versus United and celebrating a certain result It makes me feel so old.
