Another year, another cup final defeat! There was green and white on the cup, but it was the green and white of Celtic, not Hibs. However, it was nothing like last year's humiliation. This time we were beaten 0-3 by a very good Celtic team, full of
Hello friends. Here I am back again to bring you up-to-date with the fortunes of Hibs since the start of 2013. In the last Hibs update at the end of 2012, I told you all how the team was starting to play badly, and that they
The fortunes of Hibs since I last wrote back in November have been up and down, as usual. If you remember, we were top of the league. One week later we got beat by Dundee, the bottom team. Celtic won and went top again. Since then, we’ve
Last weekend, both Hibs and Celtic played on Sunday, though Hibs played first. At home, at Easter Road, Hibs beat Dundee United 2-1 in a hard and difficult game. An important win. Two hours later, Celtic played St. Johnstone at home. Celtic were coming from their good
Welcome back to the obsessive world of Hibernian FC. After the disappointing 1-5 loss in the cup final to neighbours and rivals Hearts, and after just escaping relegation, it was obvious that Hibs had to change a lot of things for the new season. The team also
Okay, this is the end of the story, but it isn’t really about Barça. This is the fantastic final part that every Hibee dreams about. (Even though you all know what happened in the Cup Final this year.) You know how Barça have a derby game
Back in part 3 of this story I mentioned that Hibs played Barça again. Let me tell you the horrible story of that encounter. Hibs finished 6th in the league in 2007-2008. They were leaders at that start of the season, but in January, they changed
Back in part 1 of this little football story, I mentioned that an ex-Barça player later played for Hibs. Here’s his story. His name is Steve Archibald, he’s Scottish. Do you know him? Ask your dad, or your grandad, they might remember him. He became famous in
This time there are no photos, videos or songs. We lost the Scottish Cup final, and we lost badly. It could hardly be worse. We lost two early goals. Our defence was a comedy. We lost a penalty (that wasn't a penalty) and had a player sent
Okay sorry, this isn’t about Barça. It’s about their greatest rivals, Real Madrid. I think you’ll like it. Hibs v Real Madrid, Easter Road, October 7th, 1964. In theory, a ‘friendly’ game. To give you some context to this game I’m going to tell you how amazing
The second game at Easter Road stadium was a classic European night. 45,000 people were there to watch. Joe Baker scored first to put Hibs in the lead. Martinez and Koscis scored to make it 1-2 at half-time for Barcelona. In the second half Hibs scored
Hibernian played Barcelona in 1960 / 61. Just before they played Hibs, Barcelona had drawn 2-2 with Real Madrid in El Bernabéu. Then Barça won 2-1 in the Nou Camp in the second game, but that was in the European Cup, today’s Champions League. That year,
On Saturday 14th April, Hibs beat Aberdeen 2-1 in the Scottish Cup semi-final. Check the celebration here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPLXLxKO9Ho The song is ‘Sunshine on Leith’ by The Proclaimers, famous for songs in the Shrek movies. Leith is the area of Edinburgh where the Hibs stadium is. On Sunday 15th April,
