piffer Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 We’ve had the goal of the decade and team of the decade. So let’s honour those at the back. Save for me was Bells in the League cup after Sissokos error. Maybe not the best ever but crucial in that one. Honourable mention for McDonald who I think made three at point blank in the cup at St Johnstone. Tackle Findlay at St Mirren last season sticks out. We were on a bad run not winning or scoring. Striker through on goal and big Stu comes out of nowhere. Honourable mention to Power nearly taking off Ryan Jacks head 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lions13 Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Tackle of the decade: Taylor on Barton Save of the decade: Bell's as mentioned above. Maybe not the best, but probably the most important. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All the Wine Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Bell's save from the Stokes header in the same game was a better save for me. Sticking with that game Nelson's tackle on Stokes right at the end was perfectly timed..... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Bells save from Stokes header in the cup final and Power kicking Jack in the face. Close thread, I win 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troonkilliefan Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Save is the Cammy one from the Stokes header -Gordon Bankesesque - and perhaps the best save I have seen live. Unsure on tackle but wee Greg on Barton was the most memorable Edited December 31, 2019 by troonkilliefan Added tackle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkG Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Save - McDonald at Ibrox. Set us on our way. Tackle - got to be Power on Jack. As with all discussions like this, the more recent are more memorable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They break up the pitch and the big man put in a lung bursting run to make THAT tackle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazza Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 There was a save McDonald made at the end of Extra Time v Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup under SC which was sensational but due to the result never really got a mention. It was heading straight for the top corner from about 25 yards and he somehow got a hand to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrogate Peter Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 If I could stretch a point I'd nominate Barry Nicholson's header off the line at Easter Road in the 2014 'play off' before the play off match when Hibs lost and then lost the play offs with Accies. It happened after about 15 minutes and we were being pummelled. If that had gone in we'd have lost that match and who knows where we'd be now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie89 Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Findlay’s tackle was one I immediately thought of. Also Bell’s double save from Samaras and Commons (I think) at the end of the cup final. Loved his wee smile after he catches Commons shot. Brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcQ Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 I’m sure Sammy made a wonder save the day we stayed up at Hibs. Memory might be making it better than it was, but not any less important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieFanInToon Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Pasca taking out Hasselbaink will always stick in my mind, from the ineptness of the decision to send him off, to the theatricality of wee Nigel's response via Shiels losing the plot about it. The madness of fitba summed up neatly. Save would be Cammy on Stokes. Truly a wonder to behold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
