was at a few of these games but the one that stands out was the cup tie with killie the 5-2 game. I mind we went 2-0 down quite early and it was snowing then we turned on the style and blew them away. Great game.

Wish we could just just turn on the style nowadays

We just took it for granted back then

15,500 at Easter Road for a game against Dunfermline is an incredible attendance for the mid 1980s.

We played them in the Cup at ER a few years earlier and the attendance was only about 7k(?)

Dunfermline had been on a 19 game unbeaten run in Division 2 under Jim Leishman and brought 3000 fans hoping for a result

Vivid memories of the Meadowbank game. Well not actually of the game, more the fact that I had to leave early as I was puking rings round myself at the back of the terrace. For once it wasn't booze induced as I was only eleven at the time!!! Jambos had poisoned the pies!

Report from the Dunfermline game. Hope you can read it ok, as wouldn't allow me to upload the scanned version.

My first game at Tynie, aged 8. Remember having to stand on my toes to see the game and I was very excited to see George Best in action.

27/1/2019 Scottish League Premiership

St Mirren 1 v 3 Hibernian

Shaw 61
McGregor 70
Mallan 87

Neil Lennon had left the building and Eddie May and Grant Murray were in charge

Substitute Olly Shaw equalised a St Mirren first half goal with a composed finish. Darren McGregor scored from a corner when he was first to react to a loose ball in the St Mirren box to send a drive high into the net. Former St Mirren player Stevie Mallan secured all three points with a neat finish from the edge of the box

27/1/2010 Celtic 1 v 2 Hibernian

Stokes
Galbraith

John Hughes’ HIBS side were Championship contenders as they made the journey along the M8

Dejavu must have set in for the HIBS fans as Marc-Antoine Fortune gave Celtic the lead in 5 minutes following a Caddis corner

Talisman Anthony Stokes equalised for HIBS after 25 minutes when he flicked home a Derek Riordan corner

After that it was pretty much backs to the wall with Chris Hogg and Ian Murray orchestrating the HIBS defence and ex Celt Liam Miller pulling the strings in midfield

Just when it looked as though things were going to fizzle out for a draw Anthony Stokes shocked Tony Mowbray’s troops in the last minute when he sprung the offside trap on the counterattack threading the perfect ball through to substitute Danny Galbraith on the left hand side of the Celtic box who drilled an unstoppable drive low into Artur Boruc’s bottom left hand corner

Hibs would suffer their annual dip in form after this game but still had enough points in the bag to finish fourth and qualify for Europe

Hibernian 6 v 1 Clyde

Laursen 22
Jack 28
Sauzee 45
Paatelainen 46
Lehmann 59 63

HIBS pounded the Clyde goal and the big surprise was that it took them 22 minutes to open their account when Ulrik Laursen scored with a header following a corner. Matty Jack scored a rare goal with a volley and Le God chipped in with a freekick just before half-time

Mixu extended HIBS ‘ lead just after the break and Dirk Lehmann making a rare start added a double the first a cute lob the second a spectacular strike

After 20 minutes of exhibition football Mark McLaughlin scored a late consolation for the visitors

Hibs would reach the Scottish Cup Final in this season

Hibernian 0 v 2 Kilmarnock

On a freezing cold day in a game played in a blizzard Paul Wright comes back to haunt us with two identical long range strikes past Jim Leighton that he seemed to lose in the lights both efforts coming down out of the winter sky with snow on them

Another year of pain


27/1/1973 Scottish League Division One

Hibernian 1 v 1 Dundee

Gordon 24

John Duncan gave a very good Dundee side a fourth minute lead. Alan Gordon equalised with his 31st goal of the season in all competitions but pulled a muscle in doing so and had to be replaced at half-time

This seemed to disrupt the shape of the team and HIBS lost their rhythm and there was no further scoring

Stein 16 23 36
Davis pen 30
Cormack 38

Bob Shankly thought about resting some of his players but just as well he didn’t as the part timers of the now defunct East Stirling were up for it and put in a superb performance that made for a good old fashioned end to end Cup tie on a tight pitch seven goals being scored in an exciting first half

Hibs Wilson Simpson Davis Stanton Madsen McGraw Marinello Quinn Stein Cormack and Scott

27/1/1951 Scottish Cup Round 1

St Mirren 1 v 1 Hibernian

Buchanan

28000 turned up at Love Street to watch the Famous Five in a match attended by the Secretary of State for Scotland

Bobby Combe picked up a severe early knock and in the days of no Subs he had to hobble out on the right wing

Archie Buchanan equalised Crowe’s opening goal for St Mirren to ensure that HIBS would live to fight another day

Are they the same version of East Stirling that we played in 1968?

I remember some vague story about being moved to Clydebank and then having to create a new club under the old name.... or something like that :-)

I remember going through to Kilbowie and them winning 1-0 in the Cup and having a battle on the railway line but that is another story 😃

The Clydebank"thing" happened before 1968. To be honest I had forgotten all about that. Seemingly although Clydebank "stole" their identity the original club was never disbanded. It appears to be like us when we stopped for a season and got playing again.

To be clear it is different to Sevco who were liquidated and died, dead, defunct.

Just. catching up with previous post as I’ve been preoccupied with current affairs.
The five Patrick Thistle players with 68 caps were:-
Alan Rough - 53
John Hansen-2
Alex Forsyth-10
Ronnie Glavin- 1
Jimmy Bone -2

The Bonnyrigg Rose player who scored in their 8-1 defeat on 21/12017 was called Hoskins.No knowledge of first name or whether he was a Jambo.

His name is Dean Hoskins and he is a Jambo

My son and eldest daughter were the mascots that day, I was sitting in the very back row of the old stand and got snowed on, absolutely baltic. My kids were frozen blue by the time they got off the pitch.

Think that Clyde game was at Firhill. Absolutely Baltic. Also think it was Miller's first goal for Hibs - a cross-cum-shot (to be generous) that deceived the keeper.

Edit: 1991 Clyde game obviously

Aye, so did I. Joined Dundee after relegation, got injured and don't think he really played much after that. My father-in-law says he was a good tennis player in his youth, apparently!

[Keith_M]

I was at that replay at East End Park in '81 with my Dad.

I mentioned previously how low the crowd was at the first game at ER and I'm sure there was about 2-3k more at this one.


Strangely, it was quite common then to play in front of poor crowds at ER but pretty decent attendances, with a big travelling Hibs support, when we played the same teams away from home.
