My mate and I were going to the match and he was going to leave Spud in the car. So I said let’s take him and we did. And boy he did well with some fans buying Spud pies & crisps. I even bought Spud a 25p Hearts draw ticket and he won a £1. Edited November 24, 2019 by mitch41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A group of us were in a pub in Motherwell that night about 15 minutes walk from the ground. At around 6.30 a barman told us he'd been told that the ground was filling up quickly and there were massive queues. He was right. By the time we got in, the place was pretty much packed and there were still massive queues. Best Hearts support I was ever part of at an away game. Justice will be done when we meet Airdrie. Wish it was another semi though. That's where justice really needs to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got into coaching and found it a lot more rewarding than having your baws metaphorically booted on a regular basis. See him regularly when I'm hame though and he still has a softie for the JT's.

Was heading back when the replay was on and cheered with the thought that I would learn on arrival that we would be in the final. Absolute shock to learn otherwise. There’s every chance. The ref that day was Jim McCluskey, iirc and I also recall reading about the fact he took up refereeing when injury curtailed his career in his late teens. The club he was registered to at the time of his injury, or at least his last professional club, was Airdrie. You really couldn’t make the SFA appointments up and it’s still happening. Mind you, we had a shocker of a ref who was a Hearts man and perhaps cost us a league title. I remember celebrating like a daftie and my mates and didn’t know Dave McPherson’s header had been chalked off until a few minutes later. Still don’t know why and blatant cheating is the only feasible explanation. 😡 Sorry to read that Airdrie matches remind you of a sad time.
