Hearts_fan Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It was the internet without the arguments. I fondly remember summer days in the nineties, as a teenager, waking up and checking Ceefax for Hearts news before doing anything else. One summers day in 96, the Ceefax headline "Hearts make triple swoop" sent me into delirium. Neil McCann, David Weir and Jeremy Goss. Unbelievable scenes.

Gavman81 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 310 for the Scottish scores. Glorious days. You could watch the Tv and set it so that a notification would pop up in the top right hand corner when a goal was scored which would leave you on the edge of your seat until you pressed the page again to find out who had scored! I remember after we beat Rangers away 3-0 I kept the score on hold for about an hour after full time to revel in the moment. Just me and my Ceefax in perfect harmony. A great and simpler time.

Maroon Sailor Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 That teleprinter on Grandstand was agony at times. Must have been about 50 bauds chuntering away ......... Aberdeen 1 Hearts ...... the anticipation Ceefax was cut throat when they introduced the flash score.

martoon Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Most vivid memory of Ceefax was using it to keep up with a game around October '95. We'd started to struggle a bit in the early days of JJ and all afternoon the unchanging Falkirk 0-0 Hearts seemed a not too shabby outcome under the circs. Total 5h1te. We'd conceded a goal in each half and lost 2-0 but it only changed to that with the FT confirmation. Gits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkierobroy Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 ITV's was Oracle, but the company was Teletext UK, iirc. There was a History of Teletext on the Web done by some bloke with no wife, friends or job. It was a great read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF11JamTart Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I "watched" the Stuttgart game on Ceefax. No internet in the house back then. Living in Bristol... so was tuned in to FiveLive but there was so much football on that the Hearts game never got a mention. Try explaining that to the kids today.
