That Jutkiewicz goal still sends a shiver down my spine. Some game that, was a right kick in the balls but you've got to admire that goal at the end, incredible finish.

He would never have scored that in any other game. There was just something in the air. Sublime finish.

Be thankful it ended 6-6. They missed a penalty, could easily have 7-6 to Well

Remember it being one of the major factors i lost confidence in yogi as manager

This piece could really have been devoted purely to Hibs games.

The 4-4 draw with Hearts in 2003 when they scored 2 in the last 2 minutes of injury time and the game against Dundee at ER in 2004 when we were absolutely all over them and up 4-1 but it also finished 4-4. Think Dundee got relegated that season as well and we had the likes of Whitakker, Murphy, Boozy, Brown, Riordan and O'Connor playing.

I still think that Smith chucked it, allegedly

The 4-4 Tynecastle game summed up being a Hibs fan to me. Utter elstion to utter despair in about 220 seconds. I actually burst out laughing when the equaliser went in. You've really got to be a masochist to be a Hibby. Its the reason that the good times feel so good when they occasionally come along

Funny, I remember listening to this game and even though we were so far ahead I just knew Well would get level (or win).

Yup, it was almost literally impossible for us to lose 2 goals in the length of time left. And we managed it.

Winning 6-2 but lucky to draw . Aye its a rollercoaster being a Hi Bee . But wouldnt change it for the world .

You wouldn't think it would be humanly possible to go from scoring two goals yourself in the last couple of minutes of the match and go 4-2 up and then lose two goals in under a minute to draw the match 4-4.

It's quite incredible that we've been involved in three crazy matches like that in the past decade or so.

The Dundee game wasn't quite as bad, although we were 4-2 up with 11 minutes left there too.

The Motherwell match was just silly. To be 6-2 up with 23 minutes left and almost lose the match 7-6 is just ridiculous.

Well said. The 4 all was worse than wayne foster , mark de vries and 5 -1 combined.

All I remember about the Motherwell game is how dreadful a goalie Smith was.

All I remember about the Hearts game is that Hearts were given a couple of minutes after the allotted injury time. As far as I'm concerned the game should have finished 4-2, but that was never ever going to happen at Tynecastle.

AND in the knowledge----re: Oxley scoring on his debut

[Gettin' Auld]

That was a crazy game and quite a few Motherwell fans must have regrets about it too, as i'm sure i remember seeing hoardes of them heading for the exits when we scored the 6th goal...........Nae luck.

As for Graeme Smith.........He must have had a huge wedge on the game being a draw.

[G-Reg]

I bought a signed pair of Riordan's boots at a charity auction a few years ago and had to laugh when they chucked in Smith's signed top for free as nobody wanted it.

Ian Murray vodka bottle incident + an age to award penalty + an age to take penalty.... wasn't really a routine stoppage-free injury time.

Think Hibs pretty safely can take the blame for that game not finishing 4-2.

A mate was texting me the scores as they went in. I thought he was at it TBH.

It was so unprofessional and embarrassing.

I'd completely forgotten that he was the goalscorer....even when watching him most weeks playing for Bolton for 6 months last season!

[Green Man]

I got on a plane thinking we had beaten Motherwell 6-5. It was only hours later, having arrived in Greece, that I found out it finished 6-6.

[Hillsidehibby]

I remember leaving ER after Dundee Utd had just gone 2-0 up with 15 mins to go. Got into the Golden Gates and found out Hibs had won 3-2.
