N Lincs Jambo Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 1 hour ago, John Findlay said: I thought it was Derek scoring at the piggery in our 2-1 win there in March(I think) 1979. If not my mistake and apology for getting the match and venue wrong. The venue is correct John but the 2-1 win there was November 78. March 1979 unfortunately was the cup QF when it was 2-1 to the vermin. There’s a photo which was added a few months ago of the March 79 game when it all kicked off in the Hearts end and a still 15 year old NLJ is right in the middle. Of the photo that is, not the scrapping 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Busby the other Hearts player. Hibs players right to left. Brownlie, Schaedler McArthur the goalie. Blackley and Black. I can only assume that haven't scored. Ford scored at the other end to put us 1-0 up. Can't think of any other game. I also thought you were right in the O'Connor one, scoring at the piggery.

Luckily I wasn't born yet for the first game you mention but why would a Hearts fan even bring that match and score up? Are you sure you're on the right forum? West Stand, right behind the goal, you can even see me on one of the replays of one of our goals. Not telling you which one though ya pervert because you'd be straight on the video. If you actually have a video of that game which I'm beginning to doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might, for all I know. When I was growing up on the site of what is now the flats that sit between Gylemuir Primary and Tesco Corstorphine was a piggery. When you walked past there was a terrible smell and you really had to hold your nose at times. The word piggery was used to describe somewhere that was smelly (as in smells like a piggery); nothing more, nothing less. The term, as you say, was used in a juvenile way that meant no harm - it was only a childish retort implying that Easter Road stinks. When directing it at a Hibs supporter they might respond along the lines of "well it's bigger than Tynecastle". Did they take any real offence - of course not. Like you I'm loving the old photos.
