Baxfee Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I think we’re going to have to get twirly lessons before the final. Was great seeing everyone doing it yesterday but where was the ‘na na na nananana, nananana jam tarts’? It’s ours - and there really isn’t a better sight or sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts_fan Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I agree, we really should capitalise on the twirly, it's a great thing, and incredible when 80%+ are doing it. The simultaneous hum drone is equally effective. If we were to do spontaneously during a match sometime, it could spur the players on enough to attack strongly and score. If there's a criticism of us fans, it's that we are often reactive more than proactive in terms of encouraging the team with songs and twirlies.

I started going in the 70’s and as far as I’m aware, we have been doing it since the 70’s. I seem to recall, we copied Newcastle after a game at St James. No idea if it was a friendly or the Anglo Scottish, but I am quite sure we are getting on for 50 years of the TWIRLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroonjam Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 One of my all time favourites. Being young and seeing the whole crowd do it game me goose bumps.

martoon Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Memory wise I can take it back to October 1981. 2-1 win at ER in the East of Scotland Shield.

At last....someone getting the name right. The "helicopter" has indeed been around since the 70's. The first time I think was at St James Park, during a Texaco Cup match, where both sets of fans did it.....plenty of bother that night, before, during and after the match. At first when the spinning started, it was just a steadily growing roar. Hey Jude came along a few years later. The rest is history.

Late KO because Scotland were playing Ireland. Winner scored by Robbo. Still my favourite game ever and by far the best ever atmosphere. FWIW, we knew before full time it was Motherwell in the next round, Hibs got pumped by Clydebank, Scotland won and the old Huns were dumped by Hamilton in the previous round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
