Hackney Hearts Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to work out that something odd was happening that day when you look at the traditional tightness of that particular fixture... 1972 0-0 1971 0-0 1970 0-0 1969 0-0 1968 0-1 1967 0-0 1966 3-2 1965 0-1 1964 1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That story certainly went around at the time. Going by the known culture of footballers at that time it was extremely possible. A few of them probably had a fag or two before taking the field too! Eddie Turnbull probably stole a march on Hearts by making sure his team broke the tradition and spent Hogmany drinking orange juice. Things really were so much different back then. A mate of mine told me he'd seen Eddie Thompson, the Hearts' captain, in the club behind the stand, pissed, that Hogmany. I was shocked, and very disappointed, but believed him. Unfortunately, we've had to suffer their hangover - until 19/05/2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franco Fascione Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 My Dad had just done a 12 hour Hogmanay nightshift in his maroon taxi then went to bed. On that fateful day when he woke up he thought my Mum was joking about the 7-0 scoreline, he had to phone my Grandad to have it confirmed. He refused to pick up any person wearing a Hibs scarf when he went back on shift! The joy on his face every time wee Robbo smashed one into the Hibees net will live with me a long time.

Victor Meldrew Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Before my time, so have never really been bothered about it. My time as a Hearts fan has involved 17 and 22 in a row (as well as our recent run) and countless decent humpings. The only blip was the 6-2 game, but Mark De Vries gave us revenge for that one pretty quickly, and we've beaten them by four goals three times since then. 19th May was just the icing on the cake - the day we squashed any lingering idea that they are our rivals.

alanbauld Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The real reason behind the 7-0 is that Hearts and Hibs got together for a chat and Hibs were offered a 7-0 win if they then agreed that after that they would be little more than a footballing joke in Edinburh. Hibs accepted the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroon hills remembered Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 For people who where ALIVE,tell me about this day,did it hurt more than Hibs fans last may? In those days opposing supporters stood next to each other. I got in by the White Park gate. The queues were enormous. When I got in we were already 0-2 down and I was standing next to a group of Hibs supporters who were thoroughly enjoying themselves. When half time came we were 0-5 down and I had had enough so I left. To be honest I've never had any real aggro re the score until the likes of Ian Murray et al came along. Honestly in these days their was never the nasty aggro that there is now. I'm surprised that after the final they've still got the brass neck to bring the 0-7 result up. With regards to them being hungover, I'm not sure who was but there was definitely one player who was out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
