Love this thread (memories) great job👍 that Ayr game is in my top 3 of worst games to have been at. We were honking that night and that was the end of Frank 😥 and thankfully the Tank 🤣🤦*♂️

Yep, we were absolutely pathetic.

Yogi basically bullied our players all over the pitch and they looked terrified and devoid of ideas.

7/2/2016 Scottish Cup Round 5

Hearts 2 v 2 Hibernian

Cummings 80
Hanlon 90+1

Hibs looking down and out against their Premiership rivals famously came back from the dead to live to fight another day

In the first half it was HIBS who had the better of the early play with McGinn testing Neil Alexander with a drive and Stokesy heading just over from a corner

Things changed on the half hour however when Dylan McGeouch had to leave the field of play due to injury giving yet another HIBS debut to Kevin Thomson

Minutes later and Hearts were two up Djoum fired in an excocet that flew past Mark Oxley at a rate of knots following a poor clearance then Sam Nicholson brought down a Callum Paterson cross in the box on his chest and repeated the dose

Into the second half and HIBS showing true character started to dominate with Bartley bossing the midfield pegging Hearts back and Gunnarsson on for SDG went close with a header and Stokesy smashed one into the side net

Just when it looked as though all HIBS’ pressure would come to nothing Liam Henderson dinked in a cross and Jason Cummings sent in a looping header off his new gelled barnet up and over Alexander and in at his back post

HIBS continued to press for the equaliser and into stoppage time Alexander thought he had done enough at a corner when he repelled Darren McGregor’s header but Paul Hanlon was alive to the rebound and slid the ball home through a forest of legs Cue joyful celebrations in the School End

Hearts were not done however and in true Gorgie tradition the stoppage time came from nowhere Gunnarsson managed to clear a defensive header off his own crossbar and midfield dynamo Kevin Thomson managed to boot a last minute net bound Blazej Augustyn effort off the line

HIBS would win the Scottish Cup in this season

Glory! Glory!

Hibs were on the end of a Scottish Cup shock in this match

Although fielding a strong side - many of the HIBS team would go on to play in the 1923 and 1924 Scottish Cup Finals - HIBS were unable to make the most of the many chances created and Armadale scored the winner in one of their rare forays up the Park

Worth mentioning that this was a season of Cup shocks :

Armadale also saw off Clyde ( a decent side then) and Ayr United before losing out to eventual winners Kilmarnock who beat shock troops Albion Rovers ( who had knocked out the mighty Rangers in the semi final ) in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park in front of 96000 fans

5 years already! Wow, what a day that was.

[Roxyhibee]

Yes exactly 5 years on, hard to believe. Since that great game, season tickets significantly up, 2 seasons of European football, new owner, higher up the league than our rivals 4 seasons in a row and HSL getting bigger every year. Such an important result that day.

Oh, and we won the Scottish Cup too.

Stanton
Nelson

The beginning of the end for Terry Butcher

Grant Murray brought his merry band to Easter Road a side that hadn’t scored a goal in 2014 full of ex Hibs players future HIBS players HIBS supporters and Ross Callachan

Moon gave Raith an early lead Sam Stanton then equalised with an exquisite strike off Ross Laidlaw’s left hand post from 20 yards

Callachan then hit the post but in reality it was a brilliant save by Ben Williams before HIBS supporting Dougie Hill put Raith ahead once again with a deft flick

Just before half-time Michael Nelson pulled HIBS back level with a fine header from a Liam Craig corner

Into the second half and Grant Anderson scored the winning goal half way through the half with what looked like a backward head-flick that seemed to deceive Williams all ends up

Hibs would win their next League match against Ross County but would not win another game until their first leg Premier Play-Off game at Hamilton

‘The HIBS goalkeeper George Blyth is evidently a believer in mascots he had a youngster in full HIBS uniform and he carted about with him several harps and horses shoes and they did him good’

It was a sad shocked Hibernian who played Dumbarton at the Holy Ground. The green Flag was lowered to half mast a minutes silence was observed and the players wore black arm bands in memory of the late legendary Manager Dan McMichael

The match had to be played and was played in a subdued atmosphere and was won when Horace Williams latched on to a poor goal kick from the Dumbarton goalkeeper and he dispatched the ball into the vacant net

Many soldiers were returning from the frontline not sure if they still had a football club to support

HIBS only recorded five wins in this season and finished rock bottom of the league having played 38 fixtures

That Raith cup game was horrendous to be at. Little did we know it was to get a whole lot worse that season.

The 7-0 Livi game I was in a meeting near San Francisco. I'm sure everone wondered what I was up to fiddling below the table with my mobile, honest! First time I've seen the goals, thanks!! What a team of legends!

Hibs would win their next League match against Ross County but would not win another game until their first leg Premier Play-Off game at Hamilton

I remember bemoaning the lack of that one victory that would have saved Hibs from the play-off for months. But that would have papered over the cracks and possibly kept Butcher in a job (although I'm sure Dempster would have made the same decision even if the Hamilton play-off never happened).

Hard point to make, but in hindsight it was possibly for the best. 😮

[Highwayman]

Thing I most recall of that disaster of a cup tie against Raith Rover was the look on Calum Booths face who was on loan at Raith Roves that day.It was a mixture of “TF I’m not playing for these no hopers” and “how bad am I that I can’t get a game here.
Always liked Booth,but he was another in the long list of young players at ER whose potential was never realised.Appears to now have a gig at St Johnstone as an unused sub.

Booth played well that day. It was bizarre that he was allowed to play at all.

The 7-0 Livi game. I remember it as unbelievably cold. We sat in the Famous Five, in the padded seats. Almost unbearable.

A grandad and his young grandson were sitting next to me. It was the young lads first game. At the end of the game the wee one said,"Can I come again?"
All the goals had made him forget the cold.

Most games after that must have been a letdown!

I'm sure that Mickey Weir winning goal v Aberdeen was a header at the back post! Vaguely remember it through the copious amounts of alcohol usually consumed on the way to Pittodrie. 6am start in the pub in Alloa and a stop at a wee place called Fordoun for a bar lunch and a pool and darts competition. Bladder was much more controllable way back then!

He would be sold to Chelsea for a then record fee £381000 for both clubs

Hibernian 3 v 2 Morton

Murray
Macleod 2

Relegation haunted HIBS faced a daunting task against a good going Morton side at Easter Road

The fans were in for a shock as they took their seats - positions on the terraces- as the PA announced that number 11 would be Willie Murray and not George Best

Hibs however thrilled their fans with a magnificent display Ally Macleod scoring two and man of the match Willie Murray opening the scoring when he headed home a MacLeod corner.

Joe McLaughlin and Bobby Thomson scored for Morton
