10/1/2015 Scottish League Championship

Hibernian 3 v 3 Falkirk

Cummings 2
Leahy og


HIBS threw away a two goal lead and two points to draw with Falkirk at Easter Road

Jason Cummings opened the scoring on 11 minutes but John Baird levelled with a free header on his Bairns debut

Jason Cummings then added another two to complete his first senior hat-trick but Referee Willie Collum controversially decided that his second goal was an own goal by Luke Leahy ?

Into the second half Martin Boyle missed a good chance to increase HIBS’ lead when he knocked the ball past the upright from a good position

Peter Grant pulled one back for Falkirk from a corner when the ball seemed to enter the net via a HIBS defender There was no doubt however about Grant’s well taken second and Falkirk’s equaliser.

10/1/1968 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup Round 3 Leg 2

Hibernian 1 v 1 Leeds United ( Agg 1-2)

Stein 4

My first ever HIBS game and I was hooked when I saw the green shirts with the long white sleeves running out under the drench floodlighting in front of 40000 fans

The match that had been delayed by five minutes to allow the massive crowd into the ground got off to the best possible start from a HIBS point of view

Kicking up the slope Cormack fed Quinn out on the left who spotting Stein’s run squared the ball high towards him and as the ball bounced in front of him fending off the attentions of Cooper he spotted Sprake off his line and managed to lift the ball over his despairing hands from a tight angle towards the unguarded net Jack Charlton backtracking could only help the ball into the net

It was redemption for the young centre forward who had had a goal controversially disallowed and had been carried off in the first leg to square the tie on the night

Leeds did not take this setback lying down and Eddie Gray unleashed a shot from the edge of the penalty area that Wilson gathered at the second attempt

HIBS piled forward and Bremner nicked the ball off Stein’s foot as he was about to strike and Cormack was hauled down outside the Leeds box but nothing came of the freekick Minutes later a long range daisy cutter by Quinn almost caught Sprake unawares

Into the second half and HIBS were going down the slope and things were getting heated

A Billy Bremner back heel allowed Gray a free sight of goal and he hit it with all his power but Pat Stanton put his body in the way to deflect it for a corner Cormack and Charlton then entered Clive Thomas’ book for separate misdemeanours

Alex Scott pulled out a brilliant save from Sprake with Joe Davis going close from the resultant corner bringing a huge gasp from the crowd

Alex Scott and Colin Stein then broke clear with only Charlton between them and Sprake’s goal Scott fed Stein whose rushed shot flew past the upright

Peter Cormack then produced the best piece of skill in the whole game showing the ball first to Bremner then Hunter before impudently going past both feeding Quinn who once again sent his drive beyond the post

Five minutes to go and Leeds scored against the run of play Lorimer harassed Wilson on the right hand side of his box just as he was about to launch a hand to ball clearance down the slope forcing him to inadvertently take an extra step with an alleged push the rule at the time was that the goalkeeper was allowed to take four steps something Sprake got away with the whole game taking several steps on more than one occasion

Clive Thomas gave the award Jack Charlton stood on the goal-line Johnny Giles flighted the ball over and with one flash of Charlton’s head HIBS were unluckily and undeservedly knocked out of the Fairs Cities Cup

Hibs had one final spell of pressure that ended with a Quinn corner He sent the ball over Sprake came for the ball and missed it but there were no takers in a green and white jersey

Leeds United would win the Fairs Cities Cup in this season

Smith then went on one of his trade mark marauding runs down the right wing beating man after man before cutting inside to his left foot and sending an unstoppable shot past the impressive Hamilton

Hardie thought he had equalised with a header but Hart appeared on the goal-line to clear the danger The equaliser was only delayed however as HIBS failed to clear a Cardle free-kick and Buchanan fired home from close range

1939 Sammy Kean scores the HIBS goal in a 1-1 draw against a very good and difficult to beat Rangers side in front of 31000 at Easter Road

The charismatic Manager Willie McCartney persuades Centre Half Jimmy Miller it is ok to play with the hairline fracture to the jaw he picked up in a 1-0 win at Tiny weeks before

Very much against the advice of eminent Club Doctor Dr W St John Cogan

Miller complained of being in agony every time he headed the ball

1928 Hibs lose 1-2 away to Bo’ness

Bo’ness would disappear in 1933 and HIBS would not return to West Lothian until 1995 versus Livingston/Meadowbank Thistle

Wembley Wizard Jimmy Dunn scored HIBS’ goal that day and he would go on to win the FA Cup with Everton

His son Jimmy Dunn Jnr would also win the FA Cup with Wolves

Hibernian 2 v 1 SV Hamburg ( Agg 2-2 Hamburg won on away goals)

McBride 2

Dearie me!

Hamburg came to defend their one goal lead and defend they did

The Hamburg goalkeeper sported a green top the HIBS bench protested before kick off but the Swedish Referee refused to do anything about it

As it turned out HIBS had two perfectly good goals wrongly disallowed for offside against the goalkeeper

The first when Cormack headed a corner back across goal for a Joe McBride tap in The second when the Hamburg goalie could only parry a Cormack shot and Stanton followed up to fire home

Then the normally reliable Penalty King Joe Davis missed a late first half penalty when he fired past the post following a foul on Peter Cormack

German World Cup hero Willi Schultz did not reappear for the second half as he had a suspected broken cheekbone

Hibs finally got the goal their superior play deserved when following yet another HIBS free-kick Joe McBride scored after a huge stramash in the box There was nothing the Referee could do about this counter as there was about ten Hamburg defenders in front of McBriide

Game on but tragedy struck 11 minutes later when leg break victim Bobby Duncan tried a speculative cross-field pass this was intercepted by veteran German striker Uwe Seeler who gave Thomson Allan no chance from 15 yards to score the invaluable away goal and stun the home crowd into silence

Joe McBride pulled a goal back for HIBS in the final minute but it was too little too late

The incompetent Swedish Official prepared for extra-time and penalties as the streetwise Edinburgh public headed for the exits

Yes the standard of refereeing was just as bad then as HIBS are denied a goal and miss a penalty

16/1/1999 Scottish League Division One

Hibernian 4 v 0 Hamilton Academicals

Paatelainen 37 61
Lavety 68
McGinlay 90

This was HIBS’ ninth consecutive victory in the second tier and they were enjoying life playing fancy football and attracting big crowds

Hamilton on the other hand were 13 games without a win and when an early opening goal was disallowed for offside frustration got the better of them and they lost their discipline when Ian McAulay and Gary Wales were both sent off for violent conduct

It was doubtful if they would defeat this HIBS side with 11 but with 9 the floodgates opened

Hibernian 1 v 0 Airdrieonians

Ally MacLeod

This was a dour highly physical battle against old Airdrie with their spoiling intimidating tactics Airdrie tried to kick us off the park with Gordon Rae retiring with a broken nose and a bruised cheek Erich Schaedler played the Matty Jack role as chief protector crashing into Airdrie players at every opportunity

Goals win games and HIBS scored the only goal of the game when Jamieson headed a Callachan cross back across goal and the predatory MacLeod was lurking on the edge of the six yard box to crash the ball home

The win took HIBS up to fourth place the perfect 60th birthday present for Tom Hart

THE RETURN OF THE BAKER BOY

After a 10 year absence prolific goal scorer and my Dads all time hero returned to Leith

There was tremendous media interest and I remember Football Focus doing a special on this match as not only was the Baker Boy returning to his old club but the big question was could HIBS breach the Aberdeen defence as goalkeeper Bobby Clark had gone 1093 minutes without conceding ?

Joe Baker Captain for the day led the team out resplendent in green top white sleeves white shorts white socks and white boots All sideburns and cheeky chappie grin The electric pace I had been told about had gone but the brain was still there holding up play, perfect distribution, adopting dangerous positions and not being afraid to get stuck in

The 23500 crowd had to wait until the 64th minute when Pat Stanton smashed the ball past Clark to end his record followed by a glorious bullet header from Baker to seal the points Davie Robb scored a late consolation for the Dons

Q What club did HIBS sign Joe Baker from?


16/1/1965 Scottish League Division One

Hibernian 3 v 4 Dundee United

Cormack 2
Quinn pen

HIBS trailed 0-4 at half-time thanks to goals from Dossing 3 and Persson

Hibs fought back however and had a fourth goal and equaliser disallowed as the Referee said he had already blown the final whistle?


16/1/1954 Scottish League Division One

Aberdeen 1 v 3 Hibernian

That man Yorston again for Aberdeen


16/1/1897 Scottish League Division One

Hibernian 3 v 0 St Mirren

Breslin
Smith
Dougal

A routine win for HIBS against mid table Saints

Hibs would play the same opposition two weeks later at Love Street and would suffer a 0-2 loss

This defeat would cost HIBS the Championship handing the league to second placed Hearts
