Remnants of Standards Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Willowbrae Hearts SC were crazy cats back in the day. The Hill and Duff brothers plus convener Uncle Ray come to mind. Add in a liberal dose of guys from the Inch and surrounding areas it all made for some "lively" times! First season on that bus was during the 85/86 season. Good times.

The Old Tolbooth Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Who's the guy who always wears a maroon beret to the games? Not so much a character, but stands out because of it, I've seen him pretty much everywhere and he's a very loyal fan.

The Manor Branch! Brings back memories - not very good ones on the footballing front though but still memories! The guy your describing was Graham Blackwood. His nickname was crawler.

Doctor FinnBarr Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Don't think we ever played RR at new year around that period, a 4-3 win in Methil springs to mind when an Old Firm game kicked off early and both sets of "fans" stood up a hill bricking all the busses as we left Meant to quote Independance Edited December 25, 2017 by bikerjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme From Sparta F.C. Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 "T-shirt man!!!" There's a bloke that sits up the rear of the Wheatfield Stand, (he uses the passageway between Section C & D). He never wears a jumper or a jacket at the match. Rain or shine, warm or BALTIC, he's either got a short sleeve Home top or a t-shirt on. He must have anti-freeze in his blood. What a legend!! hahaha! ?

Deodato Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I remember watching Hearts v Motherwell when we were god awful. Perhaps around the same time when Eamonn Bannon famously questioned the role and relevance of midfielders in the (then) professional Scottish game. Behind the goal at the school end was this mahoosive fella who was fat-as-**** and bearded like Chewbacca. Game in game out he silenced all around him with his voice, bellowing expletives without hesitation, deviation or repetition. At one point it all got too much (or too dire) even for him. He announced to the stadium (and note his voice was louder than the announcer) "this is so ******* sh*te I'm away for a dump". And he never returned. He was a bit of a legend, but couldn't care less where he is now - possibly still on the john giving the pan a pasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
