I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but I'm sure no one will mind if I bring it up again...

I would imagine that after that defeat in the 1971 League Cup Final they didn't make the same mistake the following year by getting beat again. Anyone know who they played and beat that year?

Some wee team from the east of Edinburgh. Can't think of their name right now.
But I do know the score was 2-1. To the wee team.
Mind you, Celtic played Dundee in the Final the following year ...
... and lost again.

They played in 7 finals in a row at that time and lost 6 of them. Mind you the one that they did win was against us. Originally Posted by Doddie

I remember being at ER when they announced the half time score which I think was 4-0 Thistle.

As an even more ancient Hibee I think I remember that too - seeing it on the old half time scores board and thinking they must have got the teams the wrong way round. (Message to younger fans - there was only a letter to indicate which match it was when they put the scores up. You checked which match it was from the list in your programme. It said A 0-4.) Meanwhile Hibs were 4-0 up on Falkirk. Originally Posted by ancient hibee

Happy days indeed. We pumped Falkirk 6-0. The trouble is I can't remember if I was there that day. I do remember something about the ER scoreboard so I must have been there. Originally Posted by ancient hibee
