Buffalo Bill Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 When we got horsed 2-5 from Partick Thistle (one of Paul Smith's less distinguished games in a maroon jersey!), I was sat in the main stand alongside the Swedish Hans Eskillson Fan club, who spent the whole game chanting 'Esky, Esky' and were ultimately rewarded with a consolation goal from their hero. Both Eskillson's goals for Hearts came in separate matches versus Thistle. A strange game that came during a run a great form from us. Credit to Thistle though, they were magnificent that day. Similar sort of result and circumstance from the time we got relegated in 2014. We'd won a lot of matches towards the end of the season before being outplayed by Partick at home.

Buffalo Bill Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 On a sombre note, I remember a one min silence before the Lyon game (Berry's testimonial) and also the Hibs home game in March, led by a passionate speech by Leslies Deans to mark the Dunblane tragedy.

IIRC we seemed to forget in that game that you can't be offside if running from your own half. Billy McDonald had a great game for Thistle that day.

Harry Potter Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 A great season and for some reason missed that cup final , probably because i never had a season ticket that season. Anyway watched the game in the Murrayfield bar where my wife met me later on, by that time had been in the Roseburn and was in a mess. Still can see Gary getting injured, felt so sorry for him.

I must have been away by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I recall mr Robinson referring some supporters in queue for final tickets as parasites I think the "parasites" comment came later over a dispute for entry into the BP Youth Cup final 1998? I think he tried to charge fans entry even though season ticket booklets were meant to allow for free entry. But there was a big problem with tickets for either the final or semi final that 95/96 season, with massive queues stretching up McLeod Street. I can't recall exactly what happened but Hearts shut the ticket office and Robinson was outside telling fans (who had queued for ages) to come back tomorrow.

Billy McDonald had a great game for Thistle that day. McDonald was the wee stocky midfield player? I remember him and Locke going in for a crunching tackle in the cup game that Jan at Tynecastle and the noise was so loud it drew a gasp from the crowd!

I was at that game and as well as Rousset, I think Neil Pointon also made his debut. We went bottom of the league that day, but it was the turning point.

Yeah I was there as well inI'm sure it was 20 yarder big Davie scored in front of our support as well, a nightmare as I know a few falkirk fans and they took great delight in ripping the piss out of me.had to endure 6-0 and 4-0 against us as well, really wished we'd got a 6th or 7th when we gubbed them at tynecastle 5-0 and put their gas at a peep once and for all.
