The_razors_edge Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Been to a few non hearts games but probably the most enjoyable was back in season 99/00 hibs v Aberdeen at ER (same day we got hosed 6-1 at parkhead). Hibs were having one of their few decent seasons and were doing well at home. Went along with an Aberdeen supporting mate and enjoyed watching Aberdeen win 2-0. There wasn't much in it but I vaguely remember eoin jess coming on as a sub and turning on the style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Only a couple for me, first one was Newcastle v Middlesboro January 2nd (I think!) a good few years back, Toon were winning 1-0 and then Boro went up 2-1 and then Lee Clarke scored in the 97th minute or something crazy like that to make it 2-2. Was steaming drunk after being out all day on the 1st and then drinking in the platinum club at the ground before the game and at half time. Second one was Rangers v Marseille in the early 90's, champions league game when Gary McSwegan scored the equaliser after Rangers were 2-0 down. Ended up going with my old man, as his mate couldn't get away from work and all his other bluenose pals already had tickets, so it was me or his sole hooped demon mate, so I got the ticket. Watched the game from the West Enclosure and had a cracking night. First proper game I've enjoyed with my old man by my side, I was almost pissing myself when they went 2-0 down but was totally caught up in the atmosphere when McSwegan scored.

ArcticJambo Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Some great games; some great nights. Sweden - Scotland 1990 WC in Genoa - after the initial loss to CR we could enjoy the occasion and post match bevvy. This one however is probably the best all-round football match I've been too ... Leeds - Hull, Div 2, Feb 1990 in League - Had it all - Strachan running the show, a header from the edge of the box, a stunning volley from Vinnie Jones, and an even better one by the Hull boy to take a 3-2 lead. Leeds win the match well into injury time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BSxd2gTIHA I was also fortunate to see Scotland defeat Wales at Cardiff Arms Park in 1982 by a then record margin from the upper terracing at that end. They let us into the dressing room after the match too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quTJJa-zLlI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Loblaw Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 In terms of the game itself it'd be France 0-1 Scotland one, I went absolutely bananas when we scored despite being in the home end. In terms of atmosphere though it is Ujpest Dozsa V Ferencvaros hands down. To say they didn't like each other would be an understatement. Ujpest caned them 6-0 and it was their biggest ever win against them I think. The game was stopped 4 times and the players taken inside twice. 3 times it was stopped due to flares on the pitch and in the stands, you literally couldn't see the pitch for smoke at one point, and the 4th time was for the Ferencvaros fans trying to get the game abandoned by setting fire to the seats behind the goals. Incredible scenes. Plus I got to give Denis Rozsa abuse for being a Hibs **** for 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Can't think of many to be honest. Went to one Hibs game (not a great story and not my choice and I was wearing a Hearts jumper under my jacket) where Graeme Donald scored twice against Aberdeen. Also went to one United game as the lads mum was a fan and we were in Dundee. However. In answer to the op it was probably one of my trips to Everton. Mate used to be part of a group of guys that went down half dozen times a year. I'd go for Manchester United who were in their pomp at the time. Winning 2-1 (I think). The Tam Young trips by any chance? You reminded me of another of my favourite games, I was on one of those trips for my 21st and witnessed Wayne Rooneys first EPL goal, THAT last minute winner v Arsenal!

mayfield Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Plenty of club games to remember here in Oz, but something of significance was my visit to Madrid and seeing Real defeat Malaga 4-3. Malaga scored first and lead twice....Higuain scored a lazy 4 goals. Just the stadium (close to full on a sunday night) and the relief when the Real goals went in, was epic. The Malaga fans were brilliant too throughout the day, heaps of them in the Madrid centre all well behaved and enjoying the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintage1874 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 We've all got stories about our Hearts following experiences. What's your best non-Hearts stories. For me, Scotland v Spain. 1985 Hampden. 73'000 packed into the terracing. As a young kid I was blown away by the whole occasion. Hampden was a cauldron and the noise and atmosphere was unbelievable. The Scotland team at the time was also pretty tasty. Spain had been runners up in the 84 Euros and we took them apart. Happy days. Great goal from Kenny in that Spain game. I missed that game but was at the game against Wales in the same qualifying campaign wales won 1-0 and I'm sure Souness was sent off. Best for me was the 1985 Scotland v England game when Richard Gough scored for a 1-0 win it was crazy on the rain soaked old terracing trying to avoid the crush barriers when the goal went in. I was supposed to be behind the goal in east terracing with my dad and uncle where it all kicked off with some English fans, luckily I had swapped my ticket to be in the same section as my mate. The rain was terrible that day, my bus ticket got ruined and I had no money left. I was glad the bus driver took pity on me let me on the bus.

Shaggy2 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Internationally when Scotland beat Ukraine 3-1 just after beating France in 2007. The France result was much bigger and better but the Ukraine game had an expectation level that Scotland, for once, lived up to with both performance and result. Domestically Blackburn 3-2 Southampton in 1994. Shearer for Blackburn and Le Tiss for Southampton never let us down. Le Tiss scored from the centre circle.

Forrest Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I've got 2 "wee" teams that I have soft spots for and like to see doing well, as long as it's not to the detriment of Hearts: Livi and Queen of the South. I was in the Livi end when they beat Hibs in the Diddy Cup final, but that game wasn't a patch on the Aberdeen 3 - 4 Queen of the South Scottish Cup semi - one of the best games I've been to full stop; not many Hearts games beat it, tbh.

The Brow Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Cardiff v Swansea in the old Ninian Park with terracing.
