We beat Hibs at Easter Road on 22nd September 2019, but the way you've worded your question it doesn't count. So really it's been 5 months since our last away win in the league. Still shite though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS98 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Obviously this is a hilariously shocking stat. The fact we’ve only won 2 league games out of the last 20 (TWENTY!) at Tynecastle is more embarrassing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why anyone would want to smash up a simple statement, but if it is what floats your boat then bash on with it. I had no idea what sort of surface they have, but did have a look on Google and it appears to be grass. There again whether it be grass or plastic I don't have the knowledge to determine how much water either surface can safely handle before becoming unplayable. I merely stated that given the present weather and long range forecast for the day I wouldn't be surprised if the game was called off. Now, I'm off to start getting ready to head off to Paisley, nothing to do with my above comments, I've got arrangmeent to be meeting people I'm travelling with around lunchtime and if the game is called off before we leave then the day isn't to be wasted.

The next win finally came on 5TH APRIL 1999 - another away win at Dundee United, 3-1. This appears to be the last time we went over a year without an away win. Certainly doesn't make for great reading! 😮 didn’t think we were quite as bad as that. Never understood why we can be so appalling away from home. 30 minutes ago, Shaggy2 said: Wow, I knew it was a tough old season after winning the cup but I didn’t think it was that bad. I was just speaking to Jim Jefferies on Sunday about that 3-1 win and how it coincided with Colin Cameron returning. I also recall Hearts filling away ends with fans desperate to haul the club out of trouble. Can see history repeating itself in the case of the fans during this run in. Hopefully with the players, too. Was that when it was his teeth had caused his back issues or am i getting confused. Love you getting called Hibs.

Hackney Hearts Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 It's 16 games. 5 draws: Hibs, St Mirren, Livi, Ross County, St Johnstone 11 defeats: Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hamilton x2 St Johnstone, Kilmarnock, Motherwell x1 Plus the win at Easter Road in amongst that lot. Thank God for Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tonight’s match is a defeat, a draw or cancelled then we will have achieved that very unwanted record. Has this ever happened before? Not trying to be negative, just wondering. Apologies. The question just appeared to be a carefully constructed (“outside Edinburgh”) question to produce an overly negative stat which I thought would trigger a whole repetition of the Levein oot stuff. As it turned out, it turned into a SID oot thread and some worrying debate around how bad we have really been which is a fair discussion. Will avoid the witch-hunting (and contributing when drunk).

I wasn’t offended, more amused. It is perhaps unfair to not include Hibs in the question from the point of view of making the stat worse than it really is (it’s still very bad and unwanted). We’ve won at Hampden, Cowdenbeath, Motherwell (strangely very convincingly, although 2-1 may not suggest such a thing) and Falkirk as well in the last year. Mind you, as stated by DS98, although our away form (outside Edinburgh 😁) absolutely stinks, it is far more worrying that we have two league wins at Tynecastle since March 30th, 2019.

graygo Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Not sure it's any more embarrassing for us that just because the game is postponed it makes it a full year.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Points to the mentality of the club. Our away form has always been shite but to go that length of time without a win outside Edinburgh is dreadful. Even if we had won a game or two it's still awful. We've won at motherwell in the cup, the only real significant win during that time as well. Our home form is now joining the away form as well. Utterly shite and depressing.
