Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I know there are quotes in the tunnel and dressing room etc but I would like to see some quotes or sayings etc on banners in the ground like at Old Trafford 'giggs tearing you apart since 1991' etc (suppose that's been taken down now though). It'd be great to see some of the quotes on this thread on banners around the ground. I like my sig and the Hugh Dallas ones about the stadium. Tommy Walkers and Robbies would look great on permanent banners. When I read the long list by eyesandears, my first thought was "let's put these on the walls of the away changing room!". Remind them what we're about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartofmidlothian Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 ?If somebody wants to make mind games with me, they have to call me,? he said. ?Gary Locke was saying to me that things are being said every single day, but you can tell them I can give my phone number and they can give me a call. I?m too focused on the game and my job to be thinking of that. ?If you believe that losing puts the pressure onto the other team that wins more times, okay, you keep losing.

Floridajambo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 "Wait a minute. Wait a minute here...there's a minute left" Mr Mark Donaldson during the 4-4 derby when Graham Weir made it 4-3. Or "Yeeeeeesssssss. Yeeeesssssss. Yaaaaaaaaassssss". Gary McKay in the background of that commentary when Hearts made it 4-4... Still the finest piece of footy commentary I've ever heard....

Locky Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'll add my favourite Csaba line (in my sig)- ""Can you imagine a stadium this tight with fans so close to the pitch, with 30,000 passionate Hearts fans? We would KILL everybody here." Up until last year (2014 last season) we could always have a chat with him personally outside the Nirvana as he always walked passed with a pal and had a chat if anyone wanted to. Nice guy, but quite a motor mouth on him. Scottish journos hated it, as he could hi-jack an entire press meeting, where they were hoping for juicy stuff and finding that the 1st, THE FIRST, question took up all the time. Clever lad Csaba. As to this thread, so many quotes - but EYESANDEARS wins it, a bit like the 2012 Cup Final - an avalanche of goals quotes. Caaba is a top guy. Met him while half pished before the 3-1 game at ER a couple of years back. About a year on I seen him again and it was in fact him who came up to me and shook my hand. As nice a guy as you can meet.

TNCASTLE Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The late, great Scotsman journalist, John Fairgrieve. He wrote on a Monday to say that various journalists in the Sunday papers had expressed surprise that Hearts find themselves on top of the league. "They don't know what they're talking about" said Fairgeieve, "Hearts are exactly where they belong". circa 1964. On beating Rangers in the Cup and twice in the league he said "if we keep on beating Rangers we will get them to keep" and "Rangers are not a bad team, they are just not very good" JF also left ?2000 behind a bar in Rose Street to drink out on his demise.

itsnomarooned Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Dave Mackay, a pundit for a Spurs v Derby game. The anchor man says, "So, Dave Mackay. You played for both Spurs and Derby. Who are you supporting today?" Mr Mackay leans in towards both mic and anchorman in the most pleasant, yet threatening way, says, "I'm a Hearts fan, son!" This must be the winner.

Coolio Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 My favourites have already been mentioned but a notable mention goes to the following: In the Beeb's lead in piece to the Sportscene Scottish cup highlights on Saturday night they played a video showing clips from previous Scottish cup matches with minimalistic narration. At one point it showed the 2012 final and a clip of a gutted Gary O'Connor - The narrator simply said - "Humiliation" Immediately after was a clip of Darren Barr celebrating his goal - The narrator - "Jubilation".

Peter Schmeichel ?When I was walking into Tynecastle with my wife, I said to her: ?This is why I was drawn to football. This si the real stuff.? Peter Schmeichel ?Heart of Midlothian: It outdazzles the New York Yankees, the Boston Braves and even Queen of the South.? Albert McKie ?Thank God for the ?Hearts?, and for men like them, who saved Europe from destruction.? Right Hon. Robert Munro KC MP unveiling the Heart of Midlothian War Memorial at Haymarket in 1922. "Then followed the sensational recruiting of sixteen of the finest players in the country. A sum of ?4 per week was nothing to them as compared with a shilling a day and freedom for all" "Scotland has done splendidly. Thus did Edinburgh with its "Hearts" speak for Scotland" "Who is there in Scotland, aye, in England too, who does not remember the devotion of those gallant professionals?...They were the forerunners of the noble army of footballers, and, as such, take pride of place." The Hearts and the Great War by John McCartney "Edinburgh folks will forget your patriotic action when they agree to root up the Heart of Midlothian in the causeway near St Giles - and that is never" J.M.Hogge Esq M.P. "You have indeed given a splendid lead to other clubs, and hope that your example will be immediately followed by others. Your action is a proper answer to the stop-the-game croakers, and will enlist for the game, and those who take part in it, the goodwill of all right-thinking people. Hats off to the Patriotic Hearts." W. Ward, President of Scottish Football League That you may be at the top of the League this season is the wish of us all. But even if you are not successful in heading the table, your fame will be just as great.You set the teams of Great Britain a fine example, and that is a far greater honour than winning any number of football competitions...I may say I have never seen a team play the game in a more sportsmanlike way than the Heart of Midlothian." Cpt D.H. Leslie "Sincerest congratulations on spledid response. You have written one of the finest pages in the history of a famous club." J Farrage Ridley "No matter how tired we may be, we are always ready for a game." C-Q-M-Sergt. Doherty, 10th H.L.I., France "The "Hearts" Company has earned never-dying fame in a Battalion which embraced some of the finest material that the British Army has ever seen." Lt-Col Sir George McCrae, D.S.O., The Royal Scots "The Heart of Midlothian club and its players scouted the sacredness of a football contract, their contract was with their country. The country needed the men, the club and its players stood out as professional football's first big contribution to the common cause. Incidentally they "saved the game"." And finally of course any and every line from Craig's great Hearts of Glory. Most of the above is from the papers and club publications and s on show on the club tour and I'm sure Jack Alexander won't mind lifting some of the excellent content from Hearts and the Great War.
