N Lincs Jambo Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Think it’s already been mentioned 2-5 v Dumbarton towards the end of 81-82 season. 2-1 up and cruising then Dumbarton decided they were Barcelona. That’s the game that cost us promotion that season though in hindsight it was probably a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 50 minutes ago, Bring on the Future said: There's certainly been worse results, but one of the games that sticks out in my memory in terms of sheer disgust at the application of my own team was losing 4-0 to Dundee Utd in the 06/07 season. Similar to Saturday, it was another game where the total team product was far less than the talent of the individual players we had on the pitch (at least Korobochka only got less than a season). Lucky to get into halftime at 0-0, the floodgates opened in the 2nd half and Barry Robson got a hat-trick while our players couldn't get close and were entirely bereft of ideas (pretty sure it was Jankauskas' last game for us). Certainly wasn't anywhere near the first time I'd seen Hearts play badly and deservedly get beaten, but the collective lack of imagination from the players and management as to how they could do anything differently to affect what was happening was the thing that got me. I remember that being a low point, however we went to easter road the next week and beat them 1-0 (i think that was the 'shoes off' game where we ruined their League Cup celebratation. It's a funny old game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Cup, and first game, when we beat Rangers, Dick Advocaat et al, 2-1, I believed we would achieve something. Months later, Derek Lilley on loan, we were continually awful. One game, can't remember who, might have been Dundee, the stewards felt bad and let people smoke in the doorway of the main stand. Another game that sticks out was home loss to St Mirren, Sat 5/10/13, Gary Locke v Danny Lennon and Austin MacPhee. They won the toss and switched ends. And that seemed to unsettle us. Callum Paterson was playing as a lone striker, and we just punted at him, he won lots of headers, but only St Mirren players around him. Just that. There was a guy in front of me who was a youth coach, there with his family, and he was pointing out what was going wrong, and maybe how to fix it. We lost 0-2. I was at that game. Made all the worse by Paul McGowan scoring the second. Genuine contender for the single most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official attendance 4,500. Circa 1981. Hame on leave and watching us struggle to beat Queen's Park 1-00 with a goal from Willie Pettistree I think. Crowd I also believe was under 3,000. 53 years supporting Hearts. Been more thin than thick. Hearts will come through this. Thank **** there was no Internet Mid 70s to early 80s. The first game against Queens Park that season was at Hampden and a worse game of football you will struggle to see. Pissing down, Hearts huddled together up at the top right of the North terracing, under the old North Stand. Beaten 1-0. Crowd was about 2K. Awful !

richiehmfc Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Saturday was bad but no where near some of the lows over the years. Aberdeen early 1992 we were up challenging and they thumped us 4-0 at Tynecastle which pretty much ended our chances was the earliest kick in the teeth i can remember. Falkirk 4-0 in the scottish cup, Livi 5-0, Hibs 6-2, St Johnstone in the league cup semi, St Mirren league cup semi, inverness with 9 men or them knocking us out the cup at tynecastle 3-1 years ago, birkikara.... i could keep going it's actually murder following hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The 3-2 defeat to Inverness at home in december 2007. Korobochka was the manager and this was at the height of Vlad picking the team. Hearts goalie Kurskis got himself sent off in the 87th minute for a 2nd yellow. We'd made all our subs so Lee Wallace went in goal. We were 2-1 down at that point. Velicka won then scored a penalty and it looked like we might rescue a point but Invesneckie scored the winner in the 93rd minute. Didn't go back to Tynecastle for a while after that shambles.

For home performances, the 1-2 defeat by Dundee was probably the most chaotically ugly. Of all time, the one that immediately jumps to mind was the 1996 5-2 home defeat by Patrick, who were relegated that season. Anyone who thought yesterday was bad should watch the defending and finishing in this horror show. Remember this match well. Crazy match. Sure we bear Rangers 2-0 just a few days later. JJ was always good at getting the team to bounce back after bad defeats. Might have been mentioned but remember losing 6-1 at Motherwell in December 2002. Horrific!

SectionDJambo Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Too many bad results to list them all, over 50+ years of following Hearts. One game that sticks with me, though, is the Mo Berthe game at Dens Park. The game was terrible, with JJ and his mates huddled under their wee shelter like they were waiting on a bus. They hardly moved the whole game, from what i could see. Obviously, the relationship with the board had gone and even they couldn't be bothered anymore. Worst results decision is a toss up between losing 7-0 to Hibs and Dens Park, again, in 1986. Come to think of it, trips to Dens Park were usually a waste of time in the late 60s and 70s.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 A lot of good replies. Resources is the key to the magnitude of disappointment. Timing. First game of the season another factor. No fire. Getting thumped will happen, I can understand that, getting thumped by a newly promoted side, just so much more hard to take. Yes I'm ignoring the scoreline, only immense luck prevented a thrashing let alone defeat, on a day we really should have been excited about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The 2007/08 season when Korobochka, Chervenkov and Frail, might have been in charge, who knows? Vlad picking the team and predetermined subs every week. Turning up and not knowing who would be playing or where, that was a particularly grim time. Seem to remember we would still pull off the odd decent result despite everything. Utterly shite though. Couldn't pick an individual game.
