Buffalo Bill Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I was at the game, all be it with a terrible view and all in all, it was a really disappointing night at Murrayfield. I didn?t see Robbo?s kick, but from what I remember the Hungarians really played us off the park in spells, and I seem to recall that 0-1 flattered us a little. I also remember Alan Maybury had a real howler at left back in one of his last games and that the Ferencv?ros fans set a something on fire ? was it a tyre?! I pretty sure Csaba had his team playing some decent stuff, but results elsewhere knocked them out of the competition too. Did they not knock Millwall out in the first round? What caused Robbo to kick off? Thoughts? Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I think the bozo's set off a flare and it set the seat on fire. Might be wrong though - I tried to wipe the game from my mind as IRC (trying not to !) they outplayed us completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr spoons Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 i remember us being utter garbage. i remember about ten hungarians requiring 40 lothian and border's police to keep them in order. ...and i remember being told that "Edinburgh is wonderful..." from a large minority in the corner.

Midloth_Iain Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Typical frustrating European night. Hearts playing traditional "up and at em" Scottish football without really getting anywhere. Ferenc keeping the ball, going one up and from then on in killing the game, be it by time wasting or continuing to pass us to death. The ref giving us nothing.

Cant remember what English team they were playing but sure their Casual done over a few boys from there English counterparts, and hearing the rumours that the English boys were heading up, hence a heavier than usual police presense before kickoff, i.e horses etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sub goalie Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Was sitting sheeting myself on a flight to NYC gutted not to be at the game and my ex nipping my ear as to how i could be thinking about hearts when we were on our holiday!! As soon as we landed i couldnt wait to get to a phone to check what had unfolded at Murrayfield until i was led away by customs for further delay, i could swear she had set that up.........

Charlie-Brown Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 They were better than us (wasn't that difficult) and suspect Csaba is a better coach than Robbo (shouldn't be that difficult). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 It was Stewarts best game for Hearts full stop. He actually looked like an ex Man Utd prodigy in that game. Worryingly though that was because the Hungarians were happy to give us space knowing we couldn't exploit it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 It was a dreadful game. Paul Hartley 'scored' but it was a blatant handball and rightly disallowed. Then it filtered through that Basle had scored against Feyenoord and it became irrelevant anyway. Oh, and I briefly appeared on the Fake Radio phone in as one of a few random Jambos dragged on who were in the Murrayfield Hotel that night.

tartofmidlothian Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Remember a fairly open game until they scored, then they put the shutters up quite effectively.

200milesfromgorgie Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Like it was yesterday........ Took the captain north of the border for a romantic birthday present, (mid december right?) Highlight of the week was a trip to watch Hearts in Europe. "It'll be amazing" i said. Went to the game, good seat, nowt happend. about 15 Hungarians there, 2 set alight a seat. Robbos tactics twhere - Get Elvis (********* translated in to clown talk) to hoof it up to De Vries and hope for the best, didn't work. Get Wyness on,, wonderland song sparks up. Still nothing. and that was about it. But best thing i had seen in a while is when one of Csabas boys was rolling around in our box like a wee baby as if he'd been shot, Gordon went over to him and picked him up under the arms (as if he was a wee kid doing a jobby on the side of the motorway and gordon was his dad) and plonked him on the touch line, classic. Then robbo kicked Csaba. Best birthday present ive ever given her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flimsy Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I remember Ferencvaros defending deep and hitting us on the break. I remember getting about 20 free kicks in their half as they hacked down our players any time they got within 40 yards of their goal. I remember every one of those free kicks was punted into their box and headed away by their defence. I remember Elvis and Webster having one of their shakiest games ever. I remember the odds for Basle beating Feyenoord being 1 squillion to one on. I remember Michael Stewart being our best outfield player by a country mile yet still completely ineffective. I remember cursing Murrayfield as I left the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy.C Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Was a terrible game. I'm pretty sure that the result of the Feynoord v Basle game knocked us out before our game had even kicked off...or very early into the game at most. Led to a very flat performance, and we never looked like getting anything from it TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
