King of the North Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Absolute pandemonium. The whole weekend. 2012 doesn't come even halfway close. If you were at both, you'd know. The incredible release of emotion from a fanbase that hadn't seen a trophy since 1960, had seen league losses in 65 and 86, countless semi final defeats and the two cup final defeats to Rangers in 96 and 97. All I really remember about the day and the weekend was that raw emotion. The other details are sketchy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Eiffel Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 12 hours ago, TexasAndy said: Fantastic day especially as I doubted I would ever see Hearts win a trophy. I would never compare with 5-1 though. 98 was about the euphoria of winning the cup, 2012 was about the relief of not losing the biggest derby of all time. Different days, different pressures. To sum up I don't feel any pressure going in to Saturday's game but I was tight as a drum in semi as our season seemed to depend on it. Me too. Didn't know how to celebrate afterwards.

Francis Albert Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I doubt anything will ever surpass the drama of that final. Not for me anyway. After the 96 league cup final where we outplayed a great Ringers side I was resigned never to see Hearts win a trophy. The first goal reaction was ... We will never hang on for 90 minutes. Adam's goal was the biggest thrill .. we might actually do it! And despite the agony after their goal and the expectation that the inevitable was going to happen ... But it didn't. Cue tears and hugs with every Hearts fan within reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I got a video of the game 6 weeks later. When it came to added time I went for a pee I didn't need and made a cup of coffeee I didn't want. I'd known the result for 6 weeks. When I immediately watched it again, I plucked up the courage to watch the added time. That guy Amarouso was hopeless.

For as well as we played that day the most pivotal moment actually came a week earlier at Tannadice when Albertz was red carded. If he had played in the final he would almost certainly have scored at least once from one of the numerous free kicks Rangers had around our box and which Amoruso took and made a mess of. Neither team have anywhere near the players on show in 98 but I wonder if they might lose an important player like Tavernier and/or Kent after the game on Wednesday night. Any advantage we can get, we need. Edited May 16, 2022 by Luckies1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 15 hours ago, The Frenchman Returns said: Happiest Hearts day of my life. There was something about the day that was so special after so many failures. Walking up Westfield Road arm in arm with my old man. Edit - I was 33, my kids have seen us win the cup 3 times, spoilt brats. It will always be the best for me as Hearts had never won a major trophy in my lifetime up until then, which would be the same for you. I was 34, got home in very much a bad state of wear on the Saturday night. The wife was far from happy when I eventually surfaced on the Sunday and told her I was heading down to Gorgie to witness the parade. I had to point out to her that I was 34 and it was 36 years since Hearts had won anything, so if we waited another 36 years to win a trophy, I'd be 70 before I had another chance to witness a victory parade.

Cue tears and hugs with every Hearts fan within reach. Especially when McCoist was brought down on the edge of the box and it looked as if the ref was pointing for a penalty. In that moment I thought we'd blown it, then it turns out he'd only given a free kick. I think the 10 minutes or so after Rangers got it back to 2-1 must be the longest 10 minutes of my life.
