Music stopped a couple of minutes before kick off. No music after a goal. No cheer squads, ultras, cheerleaders, singing sections or, for that matter, many fecking seats. No family sections, no face painting, no kick off being moved for tv coverage. No being stretchered off for a wee cuddle from your mum to make you better, then waiting for the ref to wave you back on.
Muddy pitch, blood and snotters, 110% effort from both sides and near enough 16000 guys singing, shouting, bouncing and screaming from start to finish creating an electric atmosphere with that underlying feeling of danger that lets you know you're alive and you're fucking loving it.

Check the white hankies going up in the enclosure near the end of the 4-3 game on that video. My mate broke his ankle celebrating the 4th goal.

Ah! The white hanky days.

A NY Derby game saw my best mate wander in front of a car on the way to the game. We hadn't been home for a day or two. Happy days.
As he spun up in the air, the bottle came out his jacket pocket (we wore suits to the derby games in these days) and spiralled through the air.... caught between me and another bloke. Unbroken. Ya beauty.
Our pal meanwhile had cartwheeled about twenty feet before landing in a crumpled heap,
The driver was distraught "On ye go, he's fine" we said.
My mate was in agony but insisted on going to the game, we had to carry him. Was propped up on a barrier until half time, with a big lump on his leg.... every time he cried out, another dram..... half time.... the white hankies came out. He just couldn't take any more.
Ambulance came and the St John's guys took him away.

And who do you think missed the second half to accompany him to hospital?

Correct.

Nobody. It was a derby game ffs.

Hibs win on penalties.

Alan ROUGH
Gordon RAE
Gordon HUNTER
Mark FULTON
Ally BRAZIL
Alan SNEDDON
Iain MUNRO
John COLLINS
Micky WEIR
Gordon DURIE

Anyone care to share their memories of Pierce and his aptitute for penalty kicks?

Listened to that game on the tranny that night (it was the 80s and I was jobless thanks to Thatcher, so couldnt afford to go). I worked with Benny for a while when I was at Central garage driving buses, I worked with him for a year before I realised who he was. One of lifes good guys!.

towards the corner flag.I believe my brother and dad were there too but I cant quite remember.Is there any footage?

**moathibby** · 06-09-08, 21:36

23 years, Jesus that makes me feel old!
I can't really remember very much about it. What I do remember is:
2-2 at half-time, 3-3 at full time and 4-4 after extra time, 3-3 after 5 penalties each. First sudden death penalty scored by Hibs (no idea who) then Pierce O'Leary ballooned his effort way over the bar at the bottom of the slope.
One of Celtic's goals was a huge deflection.
One of Durie's goals was really an o.g. by Danny McGrain.
I was in the enclosure near the tunnel and the atmosphere and non-stop singing was so mental I had to stop and crouch down to get my breath back and stop myself from passing out. I remember, whilst crouched amongst a sea of legs thinking, "This must be what Beatlemania was like". Previously I'd always wondered why screaming girls would pass out and be carried out of gigs in Beatles concert footage.
I think some of the unwashed piled onto the park at the end, but might be wrong about that.
Wonderful night. The Scottish Cup 4-3 game later that season came close, but wasn't quite as good.

And do you remember walking along the Cowgate to Sneeky Pete's after the game and being passed by the Pearce O'Leary Celtic Supporters Bus? They were so gutted they barely responded to us ripping the complete pish out of them. One of those brilliant 'what are the chances of that happening' moments.

That was the season I first went to Easter Road.

On that particular night I hadn't yet been to ER, but thanks to remembering going completely tonto listening to it on the radio I realise I was quite a fanatical Hibby before I even made it to a game!
