dannymack Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 2012 wasn't great. Those that didn't go missed one of our greatest ever victories. All in my opinion of course. Correct, I know a few who didn't go because Hearts would almost certainly get beat, I also remember the scramble for Cup Final tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Getting chased and hiding mate? C'mon eh, Lol. Remember it at tannadice there was about 4 of us and about 20 of them charged us and we got split up. The parkhead game was where we used to park the buses and wasn't so much the manks but the bottles and bricks they were throwing. At the coach park they were out of order as there was obviously women and all ages there too. The Celtic support to this day still has the look of inbred to it and don't think it'll ever change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Correct, I know a few who didn't go because Hearts would almost certainly get beat, I also remember the scramble for Cup Final tickets. Yes it was a great day. Probably because when Celtic equalised we all thought we had seen this script before. Not just a great day a perfect day. They'd kicked us in the teeth so often it was a case of revenge is a dish best served cold. That was the cup final really the actual cup final was a stroll.

Coolio Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I am ashamed to admit that when I was in my early teens I used to sneak into matches via Tynie High School Main Building by climbing up the wall and over the fence into the toilet area behind what's now the Roseburn Stand. Did it for quite a while until a 'grown up' was attacked by a police dog whilst trying to do likewise, ripping his breeks right off him. I've always paid in since.

Bootzilla Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Playing football in the playground at break, the ball frequently went over and someone would have to climb up to get it back. Tricky affair but no police dogs involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynefozzie Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Right about there... Thanks for posting that - brings it all back. Late one night, not long before the stadium changed, me and a girlfriend climbed into the ground. It was very quiet and kind of beautiful (unlike the girlfriend, TBH). We'd been on the piss and I think the plan had been to make out in the dug out or something like that. Instead I just ran around in the dark like a daftie, pretending to score derby winners and celebrating in front of the shed. Closest I ever got! (I mean, it was the closest I ever got to scoring for Hearts - it's no the closest I ever got to a ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Still think the 1987/88 season was the best football I ever saw Hearts play. Many outstanding performances, home and away, against every team we faced. A travesty that such a good side didn't land silverware. 4-1 v. Dundee Utd, 5-1 @ Falkirk, 3-0 @ Dundee Utd, 2-2 @ Celtic, 4-2 v. Dundee, 6-0 @ St. Mirren... ...were just some of the fantastic displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I was a young lad. But Bayern away on the radio sticks out. Something like "Colqhoun picks the ball up, OH HE'S AWAY " then silence for about 2/3 seconds (felt like an enternity), then "Colqhoun...ooooh" I thought he'd scored. We should also bring back the silver strip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 sections of the North Terracing, Hearts had 1 and at least 80 to 90% of the other section nearest the Aberdeen fans. Think there was just over 62/63 Thousand in Hampden that day, correct me if im wrong here but im positive the only other attendance to better that before reconstruction was the ill fated 1988 semi final against the tinkers. 62841 of which 45000 were Jambos. Sheep support was appalling considering they were in their purple patch era. Worked as DJ in the Centurion that season. It was an oldies night and I can remember the longer the unbeaten run went on the travelling support got bigger and bigger. The Cenny got wilder as the weeks went by with big Coops leading the singsong. Also remember the Subway in those days was known as Pipers. Used to go there and Bobby Mcgees after a night in The Auld Hundred in Rose Street which was the best bar none. Another great venue in Semple Street was firstly called The Americana. Went when it was called The Red Hot Pepper Club with DJ Huggy. Many a drunken night was had there. Finally remember Oscars nightclub under the Rutland Hotel pre refurbishment and it was another drunken shaggers paradise. Those were the days.

They were on exercise so me and some mates, all newborn jambos, climbed the fence then made our way to the nearest German village. The only thing they could say in English was “ kick and run” we shut them *******s up and when colguon burst through they shut the **** up. Christ I wish that had gone in.

I actually asked the question yonks ago in a newspaper football section about our allocation in that Cup Final. I was told 37,000 tickets we got. Of course, in those days people attempted alot of things to get into games for nowt and attendances were probably bigger than publicised, but they must've been based on tickets sold.
