deedeepix Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I will always remember when I was at school and getting all excited coz gary mackay was in the ground training.... How many of you went to the old school? I hated my time at school tbh and I was a right swot lol....got the pee taken outta me all the time. Its so sad that this great club has fallen into so much debt. It IS a great club....we WILL survive, I firmly believe it. I personally cannot put any more money forward, I have did the shares thing on KB, I have did the raffle, I bought new shirts for me and my boy, Its cost me a freaking fortune in doing the photos from the fundraiser (and a new printer grrrrr!!!) and av still to post them out :0 I always get my boy loads from the club store for christmas but apparently theres not much in stock at the mo also doing pics at the family fun day on sunday...... I know its not alot compared to what some supporters have done, but I do feel I have done my wee bit. Long live our glorious boys in maroon. Hope to see you all on sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeToonJambo Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I went to Penicuik Secondary (as it was then). My memory of Tynecastle was playing them at rugby. After one game a boy from Penicuik and a boy from Tynecastle decided to have a square go. The Tynecastle boy came off very much second best and the police were called. They never played us rough boys from Penicuik again. Do any of the old boys on here remember the incident? It would be round about 1964. I know this is nothing to do with FP reminiscences but the thread brought the memory back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Tynie from 1968 until 1973 they didn't hve rugby when I started but in 1970 they tried to get it going and if my memory serves me right it only lasted a few games when they played Boroughmuir there was a bit of a rumble and the changing rooms ended up wrecked and I think Tynie were banned from the league. There was always bad blood between us and boromuir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My english class was the very end of the second floor, perfect view over the old ground and on training days, the standard of my work certainly took a dip.......happy days. I left Tynie in 1986 & it was the same for me in English class, as soon as anyone appeared on the pitch you were distracted. I also remember quite a few times in the winter we got to school to find it shut because of snow & we would end up spending the day clearing the pitch in exchange for free tickets!

There was a Miss Ross when I left in 2005. someone please elaborate on these stories, they sound good Cant think of any stories involving teachers, know a few who I would have liked to lock in a cupboard though. My class days were spent either destroying people jotters, launching rubbers/coins/pens/sharpeners etc at one another in class & then the same again at break or wrecking stuff in the common room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejtee Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 A long dead relative of mine taught there best part of 100 years ago having come down from Wick with her brother and sister, coached kids, got her brother to buy shares and so, although I was not a pupil, the school started my family's affection for the Hearts.

I'll have probably have played against you then. I'm sorry to hear about the demise of some of the players from that side, games versus Tynie High School were usually close fought affairs. Tynie's pitch at the back of the Wheatfield stand is one of the best pitches I've played on, it would have put a few professional clubs to shame (I'm talking about you Motherwell).

I was there from 1976 - 80 in Mackays year, he was a stick on to make it even then, Tynie were head & shoulders above everyone else in schools football at that time , Porty had Bowman and Robbo in the same team ,but Tynie beat them every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
