Bunny Munro Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 What a day - wasn't even there as I was working. Watched the first half on TV then had get on with work. Heard it went 1-0 Hearts just as I started my shift. I was told it was 1-1 with 80 odd minutes then heard there was a last minute penalty to win and just assumed it was for Celtic.

William H. Bonney Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Just like in 2006 the hard work was done in the semi final and just like in 2006, it’s the game I preferred. I know some people will think you’re crazy, surely beating hibs 5-1 was better? Not for me. Those celebrations when Beattie scored the penalty were wild. One of my favourite days as a hearts supporter. So glad I made the trip through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphieCifaretto Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Easily in the top three Hearts games I've ever been at. Celtics late equaliser...the feeling of inevitability of them then going onto win it...only for us to go on a win it with a late penalty. Then the Webster penalty shout (never a pen btw). Some of the most mental celebrations I've been involved in. Could see me in the Daily Record the next day making a beeline down the stairs celebrating Beattie's pen.

jamboozy Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Remember walking out with my son and we were chuckling at some wee Hearts urchins singing “where’s yer treble gone” ?to the tune of middle of the roads old hit at some rough looking Celtic fans walking by, the look on the mhanks faces was priceless 😂😂 Edited April 15, 2021 by jamboozy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that equaliser went in I'd imagine even the most optimistic of jambos thought it was curtains. The elation when Beattie scored the pen and the final whistle went soon after was unreal.

true-jambo Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Got a text from a Hibbie mate saying their goal was offside. Didn't see his text until we were back home in the pub in Edinburgh Sent a reply saying not to worry we would probably get a last minute penalty to win the game Great game great day great celebration, and Lennon running onto the pitch to confront the referee after the game was fun to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite days as a hearts supporter. So glad I made the trip through. I'm with you. I felt so relaxed on final day, so as great as it was pumping those tramps, it didn't quite match the euphoria of that last minute winner against Celtic. I was so pessimistic about that day despite going through. When they equalised I thought it was over. The disbelief when we got a last minute penalty, and scored, was huge.

martoon Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Lennon just had to make it all about him at the end. Our penalty hit two hands, their "penalty" hit none and Hooper was in an offside position, clear as day, throughout the Celtic move and remained so when the cross was delivered. That linesman was a disgrace. Yet it was they who were diddled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdav Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 One of the best days in 45 years of watching Hearts. The feeling of dread going through- thinking we were in for another hammering. The fact it was the die hard who went to the game. Thinking that was it when their equaliser went in then The Beattie- Orgasmic 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull's-eye Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Had a marvellous time at EDI airport after the game sharing pleasantries with dozens of returning home Celtic supporters. The armed guards made it surgery sweet 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenNaismith Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I ended up in the casino at Fountainpark that night with a group of players.

SectionDJambo Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 That result is up there with the best results I've seen Hearts achieve over the 60 years of following our team. That was a very good Celtic team, and when they equalised so late on the memories of 1988 came flooding back. For us to then hit them with a last minute winner was payback for all the guys who were at both games. The celebration of Craig Beattie will be talked about for decades to come.

Hearts1975 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Best memory from that day was when we all turned our back on their hoarded and huddled and started jumping up and down doing the bouncy - a few folk started it and the next thing was that everyone was doing it the mutants were fecking seething and it was delightful seeing them froth 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3fingersreid Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 When they equalised I just sank into my seat thinking it was 1988 all over again .

Rocky jamboa Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 What a day! One of my favourite ever games. Maybe only the 98 cup win beating it. Sergio got the tactics spot on. Kept it tight first half then came out more in the second. Then the rollercoaster of emotions and Beatties celebration at the end!! Amazing.

XB52 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Was a fantastic day, with the last few minutes probably my favourite few minutes ever. The atmosphere was amazing considering we didn't have many there but that made it all the sweeter seeing 3/4 of the ground sneaking out at the end.

Costanza Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 One of the abiding memories I have of that day, is leaving after the game and in amongst the Hearts fans, were a group dressed as stormtroopers. That and Beattie's celebration have always stuck with me. Well, that and sitting in a coffee shop waiting for the crowds to disperse en route back to central Glasgow and seeing Celtic fans pass with their faces tripping them. Good times.

Tazio Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I was working in Brisbane so kick off was late night. I managed to find a pub with loads of tellies but when I asked the barman if I could get the Scottish football on he instantly asked who I supported. When I said Hearts he was ok with it but they didn’t show games involving the old firm because of trouble in the past. So he set me up at a quiet bit of the bar with my own personal telly. Then the bar closed at half time! Cue running around trying to find somewhere open to see the rest. I ended up in a nightclub attached to a youth hostel where the upstairs bar was quiet watching with an Irish barman who luckily knew nothing about football. The one place I could have watched the match all the way through without interruption was the Brisbane Irish club! Feck that for a laugh. Then walking back to my hotel Brisbane was littered with random drunk Celtic supporters in full kit waving clubs and singing their happy songs and trying to pick fights with strangers.

Captain Lithuania Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Agree with the poster that said this was better than the final. I had no idea Beattie ran round beside the fans until the day after. What a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaba Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 When Hooper scored that offside header I sat down on the stairwell and had my head in my hands. Some unknown bloke pulled me to my feet and said “it’ll be fine, we’ll still win this”, and then disappeared. No idea who it was, have often wondered if I imagined it due to the bevvy 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 A great game and a wonderful day. My memory of it is after Rudi scored we more or less battered them and could have scored more. Although Celtic were the better team first half. A rollercoaster of emotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Skacel's goal was like in slow motion for me, just knew he was going to score after taking it round the keeper. The celebrations after Beattie's winner, then the tense last few mins watching from a shite Hampden view Celtic with the ball away in the distance in the Hearts box. What a day.
