    I remember meeting a few mates from home to go to a Beastie Boys concert in Glasgow the same day as we'd played Celtic at Parkhead and they were pretty surprised at how buzzing we were coming away from a game where Hibs had been beaten.

    It may well have been the game to which you refer, which I remember being a really positive performance that augured well for the future. We might well have beaten them the next time we played there.

    Good times.
    Aye the next game was the 3-1 when Sproule & Brown scored in the second half, Konte absolutely ragdolled Balde that day.

    Remember the 4-2 game at home to Killie?

    2-0 down at half time and I don’t think anyone in the stadium thought we were beat.

    Hibs under Mowbray were everything i’d love to see again.
    I also remember the Dundee game at Easter Road.

    At 4-1 up with 25 minutes left, no-one in the stadium thought we'd drop 2 points!

    That was the game where Riordan scored a belter of a volley to make it 5 but was wrongly chalked off.

    Wrongly ruled offside for 5-1 then we completely capitulated

    Tbh, Dundee scored a couple of brilliant finishes in very quick succession IIRC. Wasn't a whole lot we could've done.

    As we were leaving the ground my mate said to me "For ****s sake, only Hibs: 5-1 up and we drew 4 all"

    Cost me my bet that day as waiting on hibs and 4-1 up for fifty odd quid ( a few bob back then, also a few bob now) and hibs muck it up as usual.

    The Dundee match was first after Gordon Smith's death. First half wasn't much. There was a tribute at half time. Second half was like he was directing it. I don't believe in that stuff, but it was so apt. Easy to say almost 20 years later, right enough, because I was raging at losing a 4-1 lead the time!

    Mowbray served up some spectacular stuff for us. Away from the big skelps handed out, wins at ER against Dunfermline and Aberdeen (were they back to back?) in a December (04 or 05?) stick out for me. Real grit and late winners. Basically, "if you're coming to ER, you're getting beat". That's the absolute minimum our club should be delivering.

    Three really sore ones away from ER against hearts though. All of those stick out as really, really bad results and I wonder if TM's limitations were shown out then. I mind when there was fan chat of the 06 semi being played at Murrayfield he over-reacted, pretty much saying hearts had an inbuilt advantage if it was played there. What if SFA had put it at Murrayfield? How do you motivate the team after that?

    I actually thought we were starting to tread water by the time he left (oh, god, what would I give for treading water just now!!!). Don't know if it was down to funding but we seemed to be going backwards a bit.

    But maybe that was because Mowbray gave us a glimpse of the woken giant and my expectations followed. Brilliant times.

    Hibees expect.

    Sure that was the day Jim Duffy said Hibs played like Brazil.

    It was another one of those games that should have been a sore one but really wasn't because the direction we were headed was so obviously positive.

    Just bumped into the man himself on City Walk in Orlando. My boy had his Hibs strip on so we had a quick chat.

    Asked my son (who’s 8) if he’d seen the Sproule hatrick game and told him how good a team we had back then.

    Looked in great health which was good to see and a gentleman. 💚
