Debut 4 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 On 2 January 2018 at 21:57, Morgan said: That Rangers game John? Not ashamed to admit it was the first time that I literally ‘almost wet myself’. When the Hearts turned back on the Huns they ran like feck. Nobody in these days (barring maybe Celtic) 'DARED' TO RUN AT RANGERS. After the 2-2 match in 1984 when Robbo scored a late equaliser, a mob of Hun ran into a squad of Hearts fans up Slateford way. Didn't turn out good for them. Also heard a funny story from an older Rangers fan years ago and I'm not sure if anyone can confirm? Apparently Rangers, Hearts and Celtic supporters buses pulled into a petrol station at the same time on the way back from their travels. As expected it kicked off. After a few minutes of scuffles and incidents, the drivers of each bus were calling on everyone to get back on their coaches. (With probably some choice language). He said everyone seemed to stop immediately as if it was a final whistle and went back to their respective transport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who did rule the shed? Having stood in the shed all through the 70's, this must be in an alternative universe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about 15 and the thims in our place under the refreshment banner , this dude with a beard came in behind me, next , punches were thrown and the charge from them was mental, i ran, but we re-grouped outside the shed. As a kid being subjected to that was mental, but hey ho was the 70s, Puts our wee singing section in to real life, time has moved on. thankfully.

I’m sure that’s the day the copper took a real bad one and ended up in hospital with quite serious injuries. Motherwell took a bit of a dull one after the game as well. As far as the casual scene goes, Hearts never got involved early in the scene and there was the odd scuffle as they did try to stand in the corner. Always got told to bolt and settled next to the segregation fence. Their numbers did grow over the years but I don’t think they ever got to more than a few hundred. Could be wrong though. Could be the same copper who waded In to the shed and was roundly set upon. He lost his hat and it ended up being used as a frisbee. Every time it was thrown there was a roar from the shed. I remember that day as the coopers hat hit me in the chest and I too threw it around to big cheers from the shed. I remember the iron bar which I’m sure was a bit of the rusty fence behind the school end that someone snapped off and lobbed it towards WM. I remember he walked up to the shed with hands out trying to calm the support down. He certainly kept his distance from then on in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of tension that day and the atmosphere wasn't entirely pleasant. Night and day compared to say, the 2006 game v. Hibs. There wasn't enough of us for tension and aggro at the replay.

martoon Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Anyone remember the Clockwork Orange lads in the full droogs gear? Only clear memory I have of them is a derby in October 1984. Perhaps it was a short lived response to the new, at the time, Hibs casual thingy. I was beaten up by a few of they Hibs b@5t@rd5 in the city centre the week before after arriving back from a game at Morton. Really enjoyed the tanking some of them got on Gorgie Road after the derby. I was only 16 so revenge was the order of the day. I threw a few punches myself but they were all mostly hopeless and hurt no one. 😉😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I went down like Lennon but then again it hit me square on the head. A glancing skiff on your jacket like Lennon got must’ve smarted a bit. 😀 never been hit by a pie (yet).

I also remember going to Stirling Albion in the 70's and we did the same to them, albeit on a smaller scale.

Dirkdiggler77 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Afternoon- I am new on here so i can't create a post myself but this topic may be relevant enough to ask About Hearts support- I read a lot that you have the best support in Scotland and i have seen the video's ect to back it up But i wonder where does the support come from? because from what i understand and read about Edinburgh is that it is very Affluent and also the kind of city that is so multi national that you struggle to find many people who are actually Born and bred Edinbronian (is that a word) so it's quite an anomaly it seems to have such a loyal passionate fanbase Anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
