A lot of our team were really young and they seemed intimidated by Aberdeen.
I think it was Alex McLeish that told the story about both teams waiting in the tunnel before the match and he yelled "Come on!"... and half the Hibs players jumped out their skin.

I travelled up overnight from Southampton for that one, the journey was more fun than the game. Middle of the Road provided the pre-match entertainment. Oh Soley Soley.....Every gimmick hungry yob,

Luckily my bank manager was a hibee so he was sympathetic to my plea for an overdraft when I called on the Monday. I don't think I've been in credit since.

Went to a Bar behind the Rangers end before the Aberdeen game full of Sheep and this old Aberdeen fan spotting our HIBS scarves came across to us and said “ Enjoy your day oot boys “
On the way back we asked the Supporters Bus to drop us off at the Chesser Inn
We walked in and Willie Allan said to us “ Sorry boys no colours” George Stewart appeared behind him still wearing his HIBS blazer and said it’s ok Willie
He started talking about the old days with HIBS one of them when Arthur Duncan scored the own goal versus Der Hun he turned to George and said “ Sorry George” George Stewart said he told him not to worry about it but felt like knocking his block off
Another big game on Saturday

What I remember about the Aberdeen LC final was the way the supporters just started singing out Hibs songs at full blast in the last 10 mins. We were well beaten but weren't gonna let it get us down. We did a similar thing at the end of the Celtic SC final in 2013.

1991 was a wonderful day.
Through to Hampden to see Hibs win the League Cup and back to Edinburgh in time to see the cup being paraded en route to a Wolfsbane gig in a sweat-soaked phone box. Definitely the way to celebrate a birthday.
I'd do it all again, minus the mosh pit (old age is a bugger).Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Hibernian 2 v 1 Queen Of The South
Riordan 2
Hibs managed to squeeze past Queens to face Celtic in the quarterfinals despite making this tie more difficult for themselves than it actually was
Hibs took the lead after 10 minutes when Brian Reid failed to cut out an innocuous looking ball into the box the ball fell to Derek Riordan who made no such mistake controlling the ball with his first touch and sticking it past Colin Scott with his second. 12 minutes later HIBS added a second when Garry O’Connor rose between two defenders and headed the ball down into the path of Riordan who selected his spot and gave Scott no chance
HIBS failed to add to their lead but came close on several occasions but were made to sweat on the 90 th minute when Colin Murdock pulled down a Queens player in the box and was sent off for a second bookable offence. Alex Burke duly dispatched the spot kick past Andersson
With the clock ticking down Queens were only able to manage one last almighty stramash in the HIBS box with several having chances that were blocked and thankfully the danger was eventually cleared

Hibs having defeated Motherwell 6-2 two weeks previously had every right to feel confident but it was not to be They say one week is a long time in football two weeks is even longer and Motherwell mindful of that defeat sat in and let HIBS attack. HIBS however were without the injured Eddie Turnbull. Willie Ormond now taking his place in the engine room with debutante James Bradley out on the left wing
Just when it looked as though a replay would be required Motherwell inspired by exhibee Johnny Aitkenhead struck in 75 minutes when Kelly opened the scoring Three minutes later Forrest added a second and a miskick by Younger allowed Watters in to add a third

The league double was completed at Tynecastle on Saturday 25th November and after Hearts took the lead Hamilton Handling destroyed them with a hat-trick to give the Irishmen a great victory. Hibernian eventually took third place in the League finishing a point ahead of Hearts
