maroonlegions Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Brilliant. Another historical cup win being shown, this time in its entirety. Seen Hearts lift it 3 times in my life time, big team of course we are and the vermin know it. Hearts fans to be treated to re-run of the momentous '98 Scottish Cup final win over Rangers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Vallance Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Better than 2012 for me because I'd resigned myself to never see us win a trophy. Since spoken to Willie Young and Ally McCoist. Young absolutely convinced the free kick was correct decision. Super Ally not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a11ank Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 This was a stunning and beautiful day for anyone who is of a certain vintage! Parents and grandparents ramming it down our necks how good the 50's were. Wasn't here. Never witnessed any of it. Followed the Hearts home and away from 70's and saw a good few cup finals (starting in '76) and like others on here thought that we would never win one. Got the feeling it was our turn at last, in League Cup Final until that wee shite Gazza cheated and changed the game! Then 98 came along. Farewell to Super Ally and Brilliant Walter. The game that was supposed to be the great send off for the retiring weegies! Bagio, Cameron and Adam and a fantastic all round Jambos performance meant that the Teddy Bears were not to have their day. Wee shame!! After waiting for almost an hour of 'added time' (that's what it felt like), carnage and unbridled emotion erupted throughout the Parkhead sunshine. I have never felt anything like that day in my time as a Jambo. Some things come close, like walloping the Hobo 5-1 in 2012, but 98, it won't be beaten!😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymack Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Some Hibs fans are frustrated, bamboozled and inquisitive as to why their battering is not the main one out the 3. The fact that they try and dismiss it due to their win in 2016 is slightly contradictory. GIRUY 1998 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gorgie Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Was 98 better as the game was so close? 2012 was won by the 50th min so when the final whistle went there wasn't that relief? Unfortunately was too young to fully understand the meaning of 98 at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh on the ref as we got a penalty that was a yard outside the box and they got a free kick rather than a penalty for a borderline call when chasing the game. Although I was almost exactly level with it and I'm adamant the foul was inches outside. All added to the fun and tension of the best weekend of my life.

TyphoonJambo Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 98 was brilliant. Unlnown to us my brother and i had tickets for the rangers end. Thought we'd just blag it and keep our heads down. That was blown out the water quickly. If you see the footage you might see 2 idiots getting dragged over the fence to safety. We were covered in gob and mince pies but couldnt bring ourselves to not give it to them large as we ran for our lifes😊😊. The steward manager told his guys to chuck us out but his guys, all being celtic fans, dropped us of in the Hearts end. Only place we could find was down with the wheelchairs and handicapped. We took it in turns being patient/carer when stewards came past. At the final as we danced about mental, a steward who we knew was suspicious looked down at us, called his mate over and ssid to his mate "**** me a miracle, 10 minutes ago neither of those 2 could even stand up" Also remember you could even get into rose Street bars with colours on. Anyone remember a bar outside Parkhead, opposite an "Irish folk" type club The pub gad a chicken wire temp partition between us and the huns. It was mental inside. Tremendous day out.

There were Hearts fans that had followed their team for decades, from the mid 60s, through the 70s, 80s and into the 90s and never seen a trophy being won. So I think that’s why ‘98 was the best, because it’s very unlikely that any Hearts fan aged 45 or under (on that day) had ever seen Hearts win a trophy!

Hasn't been even nearly equalled including 2012. Just pure raw emotions laid out in the sun that beautiful day. Men in their 70's with tears rolling down their faces, Gorgie when the bus came back after the game, the entire city on the Sunday for the open top bus parade. Amazing. 2012 was brilliant but that was a GIRFUY to our rivals, 98 was something entirely different after such a long time of not winning the cup, always the bridesmaids etc. Really looking forward to Sunday. I will be having a few beers and will probably have a wee tear in my eye at the full time whistle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Салатные палочки Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I don't know what it is but I still get nervous watching that last five mins. Simply my greatest day ever watching Hearts. Everything about that weekend from start to finish was amazing. The social club in Rutherglen watching the build up, the bus to the stadium seeing a sea of Jambos, a scorching, proper cup final day, Hearts fans getting the best seats. The game and the rest of the weekend has been covered before but I'll be surprised if anyone over 35 doesn't see this as the greatest.
