Shock horror as Hibs do a good bit of transfer business

That’s what I was thinking typing it

WTF!

Had to double check the actual amount

[brog]

I saw Ally Macleod make his debut, 2nd half sub, at Airdrie a week later. We were rather dismayed at this languid individual replacing the dynamic Crops. Of course Ally went on to be a fine player who scored many important goals for us.

Not half as dismayed as Joe Harper’s debut at Brockville ?

How bad was that debut, think he had a overhead kick in the game and that was about it I seem to remember in the 0-0 draw.

I've been to a few Hibs games like that

...though, for some strange reason, they were nearly always against Morton.

One of the worst games I’ve been to in my puff was Morton at ER some time early 80s and I think it was a 0-0. They opened the cowshed to any main terracing punters wanting in out of the filthy weather. With about 20 mins left both areas were nearly empty.....

Most boring game I ever attended was Morton at Cappielow, last game of the season 81/82. Only about 1,500 in attendance and finished 0-0.

It was one of 14 (I think) draws from 36 league games, in a season where we both scored and conceded roughly one goal per game.

Heady stuff.

I remember a 3-3 draw with Morton I think. Cappielow, last game of the season beautiful sunshine.
Actually may have been first game if the season
Actually maybe I'm making that up and getting all mixed up

In the 70s and 80s. If ever we went to Morton it always seemed to be pouring rain ...I recall a late 70s midweek game - possibly one of the coldest and wettest I’ve experienced...

It was early season and we had a 3-3 at East End a week or so before?. Think wee Mickey left not long after and the entertainment dried up again for a while.

They were slightly similar in that both Joe & Ally hadn't been playing regularly & were not as fit as they could be, euphemism!! I know many people dislike Harper but he had a 50% strike rate & got capped while at Hibs. I think history judges him more kindly than many did at the time.

Genius is often uncompromising and very single minded.

I suspect the relationship between Turnbull and Hart was never an easy one. It probably reached some kind of status quo when the team were performing, but by the time Harper was sold on at a massive loss, I reckon Hart had had enough. It was downhill from there on, with the sale/ swapping of guys like Munro, Schaedler, Stanton, then Smith, Bremner, Brownlie and Blackley. Hibs were on their knees by the end of the decade. An unbelievable state of affairs, given where they had been only a few years earlier.

History shows that Turnbull made some awful decisions from 1976 onwards. The Hibs owner lost the faith he had in him.

Hibernian 2 v 1 Partick Thistle

MacLeod pen
Whittaker og

George Best’s much awaited home debut that attracted an unprecedented 20622 fans to witness relegation haunted HIBS’ fight for Premier League survival against Bertie Auld’s highly defensive Partick Thistle

The game itself was not one for the purists HIBS took the lead thanks to the promptings of Best to record their first victory in 14 weeks when Ralph Callachan was tripped inside the box and Ally MacLeod duly converted the penalty Hibs increased their lead when an Ally MacLeod shot was deflected past Alan Rough by Brian Whittaker

Hibs were cheered off the pitch at half-time. George had been in fine form showing delightful touches on the ball testing Thistle goalkeeper Rough with a long range free-kick and one 50 yard pass to Tony Higgins can only be described as top drawer

In the second half Thistle came out of their defensive shell and really stepped up the pressure Jim McArthur saved a penalty from McAdam Alex O’Hara pulled a goal back with 19 minutes still to go and the genuine HIBS fans in the large crowd started to bite their finger nails

A masterclass performance by HIBS’ Player of the Year Jackie McNamara kept the Jags at bay as he superbly marshalled the defence and HIBS managed to hold out to claim the valuable two points

HIBS would be relegated in this season for the first time since 1931

You've got a good general feel for the relationship but Tom Hart kept faith in ET probably longer than he should have. When he realised Eddie needed to go, TH made him an extremely generous & far sighted offer. Eddie took the offer as an insult & rejected it which eventually left TH no option but to sack him.

As is so often the case twenty minutes later Liam Fontaine pulled down United substitute Simon Murray in the box at the other end and Tony Andreu wasted no time in sending Rocky the wrong way from the spot

Willie McCartney was starting to mould a fine young team that would be the precursor to the famous five and many other fine players

Hibs found themselves down 2-4 early in the second half struggling and James McLean had to leave the field through injury leaving HIBS down to 10 men

This was to act as the catalyst for a fight back as Arthur Milne added a double to Willie Rice’s earlier goal direct from a free kick and a goal from Tommy McIntyre to level the score at 4-4

Sadly their efforts were not to yield the point they so richly deserved as Murphy of Celtic scored past Jimmy Kerr in the last minute

Murphy looked to be blatantly offside the Referee hesitated consulted his linesman and awarded the goal amid sincere Hibernian protests, to the amazement of the gathered press and to the great joy of the Celtic supporters

Enjoyed the clip v Raith Rovers. Michael O’Neill showing how to take a ball from defence to attack before providing a lovely cross for Keith. Shame he missed a golden chance on his right foot near the end though. Billy Findlay, Hibs had high hoped for him, but he never really fulfilled them. Some other great players on show. Graeme Mitchell, a silky defender. Maybe just lacked a bit pace, but I always liked his style. Jacksona too, he was great for Hibs, played his best football here, no doubt about that.

I too was surprised at O’Neill’s miss just needed more direction and pace not like him at all

I remember watching him play for HIBS in a night time Cup tie at Firhill for Thrills he was totally unplayable

Loved Graham Mitchell as you say loved his style all left foot a great servant to our great club

Billy Findlay was a major disappointment especially after signing an unprecedented at the time 5 year deal but took his goal well in the clip

The Johnston sending off caused much hilarity.He got himself into our defensive wall so that he could needle our players.The inevitable happened in that it was Johnston who got needled and he started punching and kicking,I think the last straw was when Jim Blair stamped on his foot.

Just to show off I saw Tommy Younger make a fantastic save from a Waddell header. Younger who was pretty bulky as a player had to change direction in mid air when Waddell tried to head the ball one way and it hit the wrong side of his head and went the other way.Think it was 2-2 that day.

It was a horrible misty night as well and probably the only good game Jim Blair had for us. Two goals and getting Willie Jonston sent off what more could you ask. I was at the game with my husband and we always used to remember it as Jim Blair's game
