All roads lead to Gorgie Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 2 hours ago, been here before said: I was around in in 80s and it was always a twirly to us. Only because its the only one really caught on film back when it was done regularly. Used to see them week in week out. At the bigger games it was quite a sight but some lesser games it hardly got going like today. 2 hours ago, jambokev said: I remember being in amongst that .....great atmosphere !..."That isn't a blizzard,that is the Hearts support !"

EIEIO Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Sort of related currently in Hamburg been in both the St Pauli and HSV shops today. Didn't buy a thing as a former punk quite like St Pauli but their links with ra sellick extend to selling sellick scarves in their shop petty I know. HSV fans have links to Rangers so bought zilch there too equally petty. St Pauli seem to have a new line in merchandising with you'll never walk alone on it so they're not proud or original either. HHGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching the game later on Sportscene, young lads dancing on the roof of the pie stand when Robbo scored the free kick iirc. Brilliant atmosphere!

It was a great period where we didn't really fear the OF especially at Tynecastle. The derbies only went one way as well. If only we could rediscover that confidence that came naturally to us back then and see the crowd respond to that as it did in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccarton3 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 there were songs that multiples of clubs supporters sang in Scotland in the past. But the theme of dropping songs because 'they', whoever they are, sing a version is pretty depressing. Frowning on copying what other fans have done just seems like some sort of bizarre snobbery, especially when Tynecastle lacks any real atmosphere. I read a while back someone saying the South Morocco song was a Hibs song because their reference would be to 1973 (the greatest game in history) and that it wasn't right to be singing it. Depressing. As regards Hearts fans, I can't even remember the last time I heard when the Hearts go marching in at Tynecastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
