Sydney Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Right then, what would be our best Cup winning team (only going back to 98)? You can only pick from the players who played in those matches: GK Rousset 98, Gordon 06, MacDonald 12 RB McPherson 98, Neilson 06, McGowan 12 LB Naysmith 98,Fyssas 06, Grainger 12 CB Weir 98, Ritchie 98, Pressley 06, Tall 06, Webster 12, Zaliukas 12 RM Flogel 98, Cesnauskis 06, Suso 12 CM Cameron 98, Fulton 98, Salvatore 98, Hartley 06, Aguiar 06, Barr 12, Black 12, Skacel 12 LM McCann 98, Skacel 06, Driver 12 FW Adam 98, Bednar 06, Jankauskas 06, Elliott 12 Subs Hamilton 98, Murray 98, Brellier 06, Miko 06, Pospisil 06, Robinson 12, Taouil 12, Beattie 12 Manager Jefferies 98, Ivanauskas 06, Sergio 12 So, my team is: Gordon (06) McPherson (98) Fyssas (06) Weir (98) Pressley (06) Flogel (98) Cameron (98) Hartley (06) Skacel (12) McCann (98) Adam (98) Hamilton (98) Pospisil (06) Brellier (06) Jefferies (98) Only Rudi from our 2012 cup winning team (playing more through the middle) gets into my "best ever". Oh, and by the way, that team would win the league, and qualify for the Champions League group stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo in iraq Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hamilton? Seriously? I take it unused players cannot be list in the subs then? Janny & Bednar would come way ahead or Hamilton. Only change i would make to your starting 11 would be Neilson at RB. Never the best RB but that tackle against Gretna probably won us the cup when we in fact played very poorly.

I loved big Jim Hamilton. Bags of skill. Brave. Not too bright though. I agree that Janny and Bednar were both better than Hamilton, but I was taking the view that they had to be chosen in the position they played.... Nielsen made "that tackle", McGowan scored "that goal", but for me, Big Slim played out of position against maybe the best ever player in the SPL (Laudrup) and for that reason alone, he's in my team.

Samuel Camazzola Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Minor detail, but wasn't it Prychenko (sp) instead of Robinson who got game time in 2012? Not 100% but always thought he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. He and Ridgers were unused subs in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Too tough to pick as all three teams played in a different way. I'll give it to the 1998 team in full seeing as they gave me the greatest day of my Hearts supporting life. Interesting replies though...we played "very poorly" against Gretna? For 15 minutes maybe, but we still managed a SC Final record total of shots on goal (31, I believe) which may well still stand. Even although it went to penalties they know that they were well beaten "on points" and acknowledged the fact by doing a lap of honour in front of our fans. You just don't do that if you feel robbed. Yes they were brave and on another day disaster may have befallen us but the result was a fair one in the end. Yes, the "tackle" was a goal saver but I'm sure that occurred at 1-0 so nobody has any idea how it would have panned out had it not been made, hopefully we'd have woke up and started playing again. Also, Dougie McDonald might have made life a bit easier by giving the most blatant penalty in any of the three finals mentioned! I also find Paulo Sergio (12) > JJ (98) a VERY interesting opinion!

loveofthegame Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think Jefferies is a great Jambo but my vote would go to Sergio. The job JJ did in bringing the SC back to Tynie for the first time in so long well outdid the job that PS did. By a country mile IMO, regardless of result in 2012.

PsychocAndy Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The 98 team and subs. The greatest day in my life, except bairns, wedding blah blah blah. The only time I wouldn't pick Craig Gordon in goal in a greatest Hearts side that he was in the running for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musemic Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I get the feeling that fans who suffered for 36 years without a trophy would agree 100% with that. As a member of that particular club I agree wholeheartedly. The 1998 team would go in en masse for me, sad though it would be to leave Rudi out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Trying to include a mixture of players from each team, which is why Zal is ahead of Weir Gordon Neilson Fyssas Zaliukas Pressley Flogel Cameron Hartley Skacel Adam Bednar To be honest, you could throw the names in the air and quality would always land on the floor.
