Away Days 1

8 September 2009 224 views No Comment

Hibernian travel to New Douglas Park this weekend to take on Hamilton Accies and we thought after the international break we may as well get some Hibees chat on the go! So as we travel away this weekend we thought we would ask you what your favourite away days were?

Below are just a few, their will be plenty more articles to come on this over the coming weeks. Lets start off with GforGallo’s favourite away match;

HEADERgallohibsThe Hibees travelled along the M8 to take on Celtic. Second half goals from Ivan Sproule and Scott Brown gave Hibernian their first win at Celtic Park for 13 years, throwing the title race wide open. Garry O’Connor opened the scoring after six minutes, sending a low shot past David Marshall from eight yards. Although Celtic Substitute Craig Beattie volleyed in the equaliser after 59 minutes. Substitute and popular Ivan Sproule fired Hibs ahead in the 79th minute before Scott Brown chipped Marshall for the third two minutes later.

“This has to go down as one of my favourites, actually beating Celtic at Celtic Park when them and Rangers were locked together going for the title, was something I didn’t expect, with 10 minutes left we were 3-1 up and I was just glad we were getting at least a draw!”

“The other one would be when we beat dunfermline 4-1 at east end park. We were one down at half time, but Steven Fletcher and Jamie Mckluskey came on and turned the game around, fletch got two and so did deeks. The weather was absolutely brilliant, the away end was packed and Hibs won. AND I got a bridey!

deanohibsHibs took a big step towards confirming a third-place finish as they came from behind to beat Hearts at Tynecastle for the first time in over five years. Hearts dominated the first half and a mistake by Hibs keeper Simon Brown let Lee Miller head in the opening goal. But Hibs lifted their performance after the break and equalised through Garry O’Connor’s 12-yard effort. Dean Shiels got the winner, firing in the rebound after Amadou Konte’s header had hit the post.

“My favourite away game has to be Tynie – beating that lot tastes a whole lot sweeter when you’re in their backyard.”

“More so when you consider the less than auspicious start when an on loan Lee Miller got an innocuous looking header past the near post of our goalkeeper who wanted to shepherd it out of play.”

“How many of us thought, ‘here we go again’? How many of us thought, ‘they’re there for the taking’!”

“So out we came for the second half and from memory, Riordan nicked the ball off the big lesbian to score, only for the referee to rule out what would have been a brilliant derby goal to be talked about for years.”

“O’Connor equalised and then we battered them looking for the winner with their goal remaining intact for some time… then with about fifteen minutes to go, a ball flighted in to Konté (who should have buried it) rebounded off the post following a weak header and fell kindly to Shiels who volleyed it into the roof of the net.”

“The Roseburn erupted, my mate launched himself into a sea of bodies and I grabbed the nearest body to me for a celebratory cuddle… and it’s for those reason that you should always go to Tynie.”
