crazy thing you have seen or heard about at hearts games

[henryheart]

Ayr United away at the end of 76-77. We had already been relegated, the result was meaningless and the game was going nowhere. At Somerset the main terrace was open with a high drop behind it. I don't know how, but a boy feel over the wall. The St Johns Ambulance team rushed to the scene, and for a while there must have been a couple of hundred fans at the back of the terrace with their backs to the pitch watching them in action, including quite a few who rushed from elsewhere on the terrace just to see what was going on. It was certainly more exciting than the match. I don't know how badly the boy was hurt, but I remember the following day it being referred to in match reports with the interest it caused being suggested as a reflection of how poor the match was.

Apologies for being off-topic but this is a sevco story. My wifes dad was a sevco ST holder (living in England) and took my wife and her brother to an Everton v Rangers friendly in Liverpool. They were in some Everton pub for a few when it all kicked off and the riot police rushed the pub on horseback! Must have been a site!

...anyway, back to Hearts...

 

...just to be clear, the horses were IN the pub,

A Rangers game about 10 years back. The Gorgie Road end had a few Sevco fans in the hospitality seats in front of us. Usual GFA official tripped over his guide dog missing the fact the Rangers' 99th minute equalising goal was a mile offside.

 

A big fat glaickit Rangers fan, in an ill fitting What Everyone Wants (in the sale) suit sporting a pies-stained orange tie turned around giving us all the Vs big time.

Not really crazy, but in the mid eighties, if a player for the opposition made an error, hundreds of arms, in unison, pointing at them, while the cry was "Peeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnniiiiiiiiiiissssssss,  peeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiisssssssss, peeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnniiiiiiiissssssssss..."

 

 

[dannymack]

Around 200 of Hearts' finest terracing lads defended The Shed when Aberdeen and Dundee came to Tynecastle for a Scottish Cup Semi Final back in 1984. We were in the Gorgie Rd End and when it kicked off the Dundee fans started cheering, the Hearts lads were then allowed onto the track and into the Dundee end, again the D' fans started cheering and welcomed the Hearts fans into their end. 

 

For what I remember it didn't last long, the Hearts fans started singing and that's what ignited the flames, of course the Don's fans weren't happy hence the scuffling. 

 

Gorgie Rules as they say

Dressing as santa for away trip in leige, ( was early November 1992)  went in disguise as was supposed to be on a work course in england.

Then our bus (Portobello) we gave a few english guys a lift back to the city centre only for the bus To be stormed by police to arrest the chelsea mob that had been causing trouble 

 

No Chelsea were in Liege. An Evening News report claimed Chelsea were there but I can assure you they weren't.

If my memory can stretch that far back! I recall that there wasn't that many Chelsea  lads on this particular trip!!

There was one certain JM who was very impressed with the Hearts Casuals holding their own whilst being vastly  outnumbered......allegedly. 

 

As you say allegedly, he definitely wasn't there, Jason Marriner wasn't a face at Chelsea back in the late 80's early 90's. 

There were so many gullible fans back then who at the first sight of trouble Chelsea were always mentioned and blamed,  even the trouble in Dublin in 1988, Chelsea were mentioned in the talk after the game despite the fact it was quite clear to see it was fans draped from head to toe in maroon battling with the celtic pricks.

I was behind the goals that day and half the shed was already passing on their way out when the first went in. Squashed up like sardines as everybody stopped in their tracks. Pure bedlam when the equaliser went in.

 

One of the best moments of my Hearts supporting yoof. Dogs abuse as we waited to leave via the bottleneck and then two quick goals, the second a topper. Utter bedlam. There wasn't many of us left but the ones who were have never forgotten it. 

[Weakened Offender]

My contribution is my first trip to Pittodrie in 83. Everyone in the city telling us we'd get hammered by the casuals. Grafitti everywhere stating Hearts would get stabbed by the Aberdeen Stanley Squad. Mayhem after the match with the Gorgie Aggro chasing them all over the shop. A real eye-opener.

The Shed was home to my craziest memories. 

 

I remember, as a kid, waiting for the game to begin in the shed and an argument broke out between some union jack waving Hearts fans from Livingstone and a Scottish nationalist Hearts fan who was there with his girlfriend. It kicked off and got really ugly. 

 

The leader of the Livingstone mob's tactic for resolving the heated dispute was to pull out his cock and piss all over his opposite number and his girlfriend. I didn't stay around to watch what happened after that, but I'm pretty sure the police did. Kicked off. 

 

Also, I remember the pisser around the back of The Shed not because I was brave enough to go there but when you looked up the slope of the shed you could see the steam rising. The shed pissed was home to plants that couldn't grow in the Botanics. Unreal, looking back at it. 

Can still smell the mixture of stale ale, bovril and urine, mind you never had cold feet in the shed.

Feyanoord v Hearts

So many crazy things on that trip

On the 'smoke boat'  a guy running through the ferry doing the 'dance of the flaming arseholes'. Butt naked with a length of flaming toilet roll protruding from his arse. 

The caberet girls giving up after being drowned out by hearts songs. 

The lovely croupier lady losing control of the blackjack table. People doubling their winning bets when she wasn't looking. Guy next to me left with about a grand. Myself with about 300. Almost paid for the trip. Bumped into the guy on the boat on the way back and he'd invested all the cash in a large lump hash. 

Outside the euro bar Dam Square a young lad pucked right at the feet of 2 coppers. They didn't even bat an eyelid.

Lots of little scraps kicking off all over the place amongst Hearts fans. 

A few rows behind me they were going ape shit, burst nose, blood everywhere, around a dozen going for it.

Its easy to get upset with your fellow fans, I was raging at the Hearts team that day at full time despite the valiant attempts to get the equaliser, then you've got the fans standing applauding the defeat, unlucky Hearts, unlucky!  WTF ? 

Just been beaten in a final by St.Midden and we've to applaud the losers ? 

Can see where some fans lose the plot.

On the other side of the coin I remember being at Parkhead when Cascarino came on as a sub. Up until then he'd been shite for them and never managed to score.

 

How we all cheered and made donkey noises when he came on for Charlie Nicholas.

 

2 minutes later he's scored (albeit a jammy piss poor effort Henry deflected in).

Maybe it was just me, but i can remember hearts fans gettin into scraps with each other, at just about all the semi deafeats leading up to 98..im sure some nutter in a tweetie pie costume got lifted, at the 1st 0-0 airdrie semi..think that day was too much for lots of people😂

Smith saving a PK to give us the lead  In a shoot out v Dundee, then taking the next and missing, then they scored, we missed again and then when we were out the lc. 

Cracking stuff. 

 

St Johnstone scoring 4 in the second half v us at Tynecastle when we were 2-0 up was a **** fest as well. 

We even saved a PK to keep it 2-0 at HT. 

That Another lc  moment from us. 

 

They were a first division side as well.

Mind the bus back to the city centre, after the 1-1 with Liverpool, so many party songs, and just general mental Ness. Out of nowhere the Hearts fans were singing 'lets all make the bus bounce' it was a single decker and it was properly bouncing! The driver didn't have a care in the world. These immigrant ladies at the front looked terrified like they'd entered some parallel universe. Then it was back to concert square for more Juice 

[Jamstomorrow]
