Marvin Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Just watched it on iPlayer. That Ned at the end "the big house must stay open" The Mercer takeover of Hibs brought back memories and hopefully put a few disagreements to bed after the Robbo clip.

Rudi-Robertson Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Good post Mercer was the best thing to happen to Hearts and he put his money where his mouth was. He was the best thing to happen to Hibs. If he didn't give them the wake up call Tom Farmer would probably never have got involved. Although, don't let facts get in the way of a Hobo agenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Walters came down to take a corner there at the start of the 2nd half, I just knew what was coming. Bananas whistling past my ears by the bunch and bouncing on the grass. A proper toe curling embarassment it was and very bad publicity for the club. But, what is less well known is that the same thing happened at Septic Park 2 weeks previously and every inch to the same extent if not worse. Did the Weegia report it then? No of course not. Swept under the carpet with all the rest of their shameful issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Sportscene Archie McPherson chuckled about "an assortment of fruit" being thrown from the Parkhead Jungle. Switch to Tynecastle and it was "sad" to see people throwing bananas. That said it doesn't excuse the behaviour and Hearts were probably the most overtly racist support in Scotland for a couple of years at that time, largely because they were the only club of the four in Edinburgh/ Glasgow not to have a black player.

dc-jambo Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 There are two things I took in particular from last night, being born in the 90's. 1. I would love to see a game from an rammed, old school terrace. I know safety and blah, blah, but it looks phenomenal. pure unbridled carnage! 2. When sectarianism was mentioned, it always seemed to be in 'scottish society'. To me, that seems bizarre. I don't know if it back in the 80's & 90's it was country wide, as all I've known (mostly) is it to be a problem limited to one city and two football clubs. perhaps i'm being cynical but it seemed very much, "everyone does it so don't put too much blame on the OF." Have you ever set foot in Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Stirlingshire, Fife, Oban, Inverness, Easter Ross, the Hebrides, West Lothian or Midlothian?

Tbh I wish he had done as that has to be about the cringiest thing I have ever seen in all my years watching Hearts. Btw before anyone else says it, the next most cringy thing was the fact that at least 3 skip loads of bananas were thrown at him the previous week by Celtic fans at the OF derby but not a peep from the Beeb.

Maroon Sailor Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 The banana throwing at Parkhead was swept under the carpet and I remember reading Scott Nisbet telling Walters if he thought that was bad, wait until you go to Tynecastle.

Motherwell had already won the league but beat us 1-0. The atmosphere in the shed that day was pretty poisonous, not in a sectarian way but just it felt like we knew we wouldn't win and it just kept on kicking off.

Far from it. if it were, I would suggest the same number of busses would not make the journeys to Glasgow from throughout Scotland on a regular basis to 'support' their chosen team.

maroonlegions Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The 80s and 90s supporting Hearts and attending home and away matches was utter fecking bedlam.. i was there .. the one game i will never forget was the Wallace Mercer derby, the boy who ran on the pitch to confront the tramp who tried to assault Robbo after he scored was one of my mates in our group. What a fecking day that was, from the morning of that match meeting up with everyone , heading down to pubs then along London Road. The game its self was a powder keg. the first half i will never forget, pure and utter joy as the 3 goals hit the back of the vermin net. FTH.
