Your most obscure Hibs game

***tanfield*** · 08-12-2011 08:06 PM

Just wondering what has been the most obscure Hibs game you have attended.

For me it would have to be a friendly against Albion Rovers probably December 90 IIRC. 1-0 win with Houchen scoring but Goram pulling off a couple of one on one saves.

**LancashireHibby** · 08-12-2011 08:09 PM

I think Hibs P-P Barnsley has to be up there from a personal point of view...did get absolutely stinking drunk in the Four in Hand and Hibs Club to make up for it though!

**Pretty Boy** · 08-12-2011 08:13 PM

A 3-3 draw between Hibs and Aberdeen under 19s in Aberdeen. Hibs were brilliant then 2 David Grof howlers let Aberdeen back in. Allistair Stevenson was going nuts at him.

Not so much obscure football wise but remember pretty big bother before a friendly away to Telford that must rank as the most unexpected football violence I can remember.

Hibs: pre-season friendly v NEC Nijmegen last season, having arranged a meeting in Breda specifically to take in the game.

Any game: Driving 70-odd miles each way to watch Brentford v India pre-season friendly.

Series of games: Monday Luton v Tranmere, Tuesday Northwich Victoria v Hereford, Wednesday Burton Albion v Chester City.

Not hibs related but a few years back me and mate was watching a pre- season game Hamilton V Halifax Town (midweek daytime game

)and we were chatting so some chaps, before we knew it we were in their car and ended up going to watch Dunfermline V Bristol Rovers (One was a Rovers fan and the other a City fan

).

The following Evening we went to Hibs v Bolton...... Funny though.

Probably Dinaburg v Hibs in Latvia only 120 Hibs fans there and a certain Hibs fan broke a few seats when he sat on them. 80p a beer and the vodka nips came in a pint glass

. A 4 hour bus journey from Riga with plenty booze and Coleen Paterson And that boy donkey that used to be on forth fm. Great trip for meaningless game. IIRC a double from Konte and Sproule added a 3rd with an 8-0 agg win. Great trip great fun.

1987 Pre Season - Isle of Man XI v Hibs

Played on a public park pitch no better than leith links.

Hibs went 7 - 0 up and there was a pitch invasion.

For me it was a friendly in Germany against Mainz which was played in a tiny regional team's ground miles away. Les83 was asked to read the Hibs line up as the announcer was struggling with the names. Emilio Bottiglieri was in the squad to be fair.

perhaps the game that never was.......AEK v Hibs.

Flights from Zante to Athens all paid for but we never did board that plane to Athens.....

Still, 7 days wi the lads on a sunshine holiday in Laganas was fantastic

Hibs v The Royal Scots in Verl Germany. Hibs won the fitba but the Jocks trounced them on the assault course.

Skiving off school around 2006 with my mate to go and watch a Hibs Rangers reserve game at Meadowbank as Tam McManus was playing. At half-time we were allowed to go across the road to the McDonalds and we sat and watched the second half munching a Big Mac sitting beside John Collins.

If I remember correctly we were asked to sing the hibs song at the end of the game using their microphone. and on the pitch.... our reward was a crate of beer

**Nitten Hibee** · 08-12-2011 09:59 PM

would have to say watching hibs v cowdenbeath via a beam back to murrayfield ice rink was a surreal and ****** cold experience

Stenhousemuir, I was lucky enough to get a ticket for the game a 4-0 win

***lucky*** · 08-12-2011 10:05 PM

Been to many irrelevant games but a pre season friendly away to Forces Mechanics about 30 years ago sticks in my mind.

That's one helluva Big Mac if it had it's own seat.

**Liberal Hibby** · 08-12-2011 10:11 PM

1989 Hibs reserves v Rangers reserves at Jordanhill college (where I was doing my PGCE) playing field. Only notable for the fact that the trialist up front for Hibs that day was one Ronnie Rosenthal.

Was he flashing his pack and telling you and your mate off for being slackers?

That was a fine trip! We watched the World Cup Final in a knocking shop in Riga! The birds werenae too happy at being ignored when the 2nd half started!

I was in exactly the same boat on that day (school skiving and McDonald half-time snacks). There was a huge turnout for a reserves game that day!

I enjoyed a few years ago when Hibs Reserves played at ER and we could go along for free. One particular game I remember was v Falkirk featuring Yogi at centre half.
