This game is memorable because Peter Cormack scored from just inside his own half when he noticed that Dunfermline goalkeeper Bent Martin was standing off his line

Is that Roy Barry scoring more goals for Hibs when with Dunfermline, than he did when he was with Hibs?

[ancient hibee]

The team that beat Rangers 1-0 was full of players that could: play a bit,stand up and be counted and look after themselves on the park. A terrific combination and still what is required to have a successful team today.Nothing changes.

Was thinking that as I was typing it up we were blessed to have players like Sauzee, Latapy and Zitelli to watch

Rangers still ended up about 18 points ahead of us at the end of the season

Hibernian 2 v 2 Hearts

Zemmama

Tony Mowbray had left the building and HIBS started off life without him by throwing away a two goal lead.

Merouane Zemmama shot HIBS into an early lead after some delightful footwork and Chris Killen added a second on 16 minutes from a corner

Hearts hit back with an Andrius Velicka header but lost Saulius Mikoliunas to a second bookable offence early in the second half. Velicka caught the HIBS defence and Zibi Malkowski cold with a near post strike to give 10 man Hearts some hope

Craig Gordon pulled off a cracking save from a Rob Jones header at the death

Two points dropped and Zibi back on the naughty step

0-2 down at half-time thanks to a Simon Ford header and a James Fowler strike HIBS came out of the traps flying in the second half to complete an amazing fight back

Garry O’Connor accepted a pass from Derek Riordan on 53 minutes and bulleted a long low drive into the back of the net Riordan was the provider again and this time it was Guillaume Beuzelin who left the net bulging with a superb diving header

By now HIBS were well on top and it was no surprise when they took the lead Ivan Sproule won a free kick on the edge of the area and Kevin Thomson curled a superb free kick onto the head of Beuzelin for the third

HIBS were on a roll and they added to their tally when Beuzelin found the head of Steven Fletcher with a cross who nodded the ball into the path of Derek Riordan to complete the scoring

The game was even in the second half but HIBS took the points with a well worked corner from Donald Dixon who found the head of Hugh Logan who scored the winner

Livingston would beat us four times in this season one of them being the Scottish League Cup Final




18/10/1989 UEFA Cup Round 2 Leg 1

Hibernian 0 v 0 Liege

The kick off was delayed for fully 15 minutes to allow the near full capacity crowd into the Stadium for Hibs’ 69th game in Europe

When the game did eventually kick off the HIBS fans also discovered that Liege had brought l’autobus with them playing a sweeper and two markers and everyone and his cat in midfield

Hibs played some neat football but were perhaps guilty of taking the extra touch at times and were also guilty of not using the wings to bypass the congested midfield The Belgians resorted to fouling - largely going unpunished and time wasting tactics early in the match

Hibs’ best player in the first half was Michael Weir who tried to lead by example taking the fight to Liege and was unlucky when he got too much elevation on an Evans cutback

Hibs had a goalden chance to take the lead 11 minutes before the interval when they were awarded a penalty when Keith Houchen latched onto a long through ball from Paul Kane in the box his attempt on goal went past the post but his feet were clearly taken from under him by Wegria in mid shot - an obvious penalty

There was a delay of two minutes whilst Alan Sneddon received treatment for an injury and I noticed that Captain Andy Goram ran the length of the pitch to make sure Houchen took the kick

When eventually he did take the kick the shot wasn’t firmly enough placed and Munaron was able to make an easy diving save

HIBS continued to make all the running in the second half with John Collins blasting over from a good position The Belgians were happy to soak up all the pressure with the ever dangerous De Sart making good contact with a 25 yarder and Danny Boffin sweeping a deflected shot wide of the target in a seperate move

HIBS introduced talisman Stevie Archibald on 65 minutes and should have taken the lead 5 minutes later when Neil Cooper got on the end of a Gareth Evans corner only to see his excellent header beat Munaron all ends up but could only watch as Danny Boffin headed his effort off the line

HIBS can feel aggrieved as the Hungarian Referee awarded the French side a soft penalty - an award that would eventually win the tie -many observers thought that the HIBS defender had cleanly and fairly won the ball

Piasecki 60 pen and Gemmrich 20 were the goalscorers
