Auldbenches Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It's amazing how things quickly changed against them. From waiting nearly 6 years for me to see a win in 83 to going home raging after the Archiebauld goal because we had rarely lost to them. I think that ended the 18 game run. Was spewing after that game. Was that their only win before the 21 game run began? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Mc Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 4 hours ago, 1953 said: The first one I remember would be new years day 64/65 ish at Easter Road. I got a stand ticket in my Christmas stocking and went with my dad, brother and uncle. Hibs went 2 goals up early on and I remember my uncle saying that if we get one before half time we could go on and win it. We pulled one back before halftime then scored 2 in the second half to win 3-2. Boom boom! I think that was New Year's Day 1966. The Willie Wallace header from the edge of the penalty area, for Hearts first goal, was my favourite Hearts goal for years until Austin McCann's thunderbolt against Celtic. My own first derby was the 1965 New Year's Day game which we lost 1-0 I think. As someone else said there was bigger disappointment to come that season.

queensferryjambo Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I am not one for trying to outdo others on kickback, but for me it was at East Meadows 25th December 1875. Pumped them 1-0 on a freezing afternoon. Disappointingly only one loyalty point for that game back in those days. Celebrated after the match by running with my gird and cleek all over the town. Rival fans then challenged each other to a croquet match after the match to settle the score. Haven't missed a derby since including the 2020 Scottish Cup semi final, Hearts got me into a near empty Hampden as a present for my 156th birthday and for having 72000 loyalty points.

Hearts1975 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 It was 1989. They took the lead iirc and Robbo scored the winner. The one derby I can’t place being at and it bugs the absolute life out of me was the one at ER. it has to have been late 80’s, early 90’s I remember seeing all these blue flags in their end being twirled around in the 2nd half. We had a huge support that day - we must have had way over our allocation as it was busting at the seems There was a boy next to me, who had crutches, proceeded to put a Hearts Tammy on one of the crutches and started waving it back at them and they were going absolute nuts. Total bedlam, and what a support we had that day. I’m sure someone said it was millwall arseholes in the vermin end who were waving the flags but can’t be sure. Our support didn’t care a jot and were just hurling abuse at the lot of them all game 🤣 It’s my memory playing up but I can remember that day seeing all this happen around me but for the life of me I can’t remember the specific game that it happened in. That was an atmosphere and a half. It might have been the fozzy derby but I’m just not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t alowed to go to Hibs or Celtic games when I was wee. Funnily, same here. I think it was because of the recent years of crowd trouble around that time. I’d been going to the games long before it (first game was 1979 with my Dad) but I actually think my first derby was at Fester in 1987 at the age of 12, turning 13 that year. The postponed NYD game eventually played on the 6th, ended up Desmond. Went with a mate and had warnings from my big Brothers to, “watch yourself down there!”.

gregzy2k7 Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I had a really unlucky derby debut it was the game at Tynecastle that we lost 0-1 circa 2007/08 I think hibs scored a penalty after about 5 mins, was also the game that we had beniusis (useless) up front. In fact I have seen us win more from the telly than in the flesh! Which is just weird considering out total domination of them, don't worry I'm on the other side of the world so won't be coming on sunday, will be watching on hearts tv in full kit at 11pm at night over hear in NZ though.

Both clubs fans seemed to be blamed for anything and everything back in the day, I know a few Millwall fans, been a few times, they're not arseholes although like every club, including Hearts they do have arseholes in their support but on this occasion relating to your point I cannot remember blue flags in the home end at Easter Rd. Highly unlikely Millwall after 900 his ccs took liberties on a near empty Old Kent Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
