Mad Bad and Dangerous Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Was my first derby game without my old man as a 15 year old at Easter Road on a hot summers night with me and my pal, was carnage, especially at half time with Hearts fans battling with the Edinburgh polis. Bloody loved every minute of it, I think we might gave got beat but the away end didn't give a flying. Anyone else remember that game....???

Yoda Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Remember walking up from the ground to the bus station at St Andews Square. Loads of windows got tanned, including one on the corner of London Road and Leith walk. It was mayhem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next encounter in September 1983 was the start of John Robertson terrifying them. The start of 17 in a row undefeated. We had been promoted in the 82/83 season.

Anyone else remember that game....??? 13 yr old first trip on my own with pals remember hobos being chased at start outside and 3 females chasing 2 wee hobos that was before we even got in. Yes we lost not sure who scored for them I remember Rae and Mcnamara played for them. After game carnage police chasing hearts fans we hid in st james centre then walked along prince st saw a window at jenners get smashed as headed along road.

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I'm sure Hearts won this game Roddy Mcdonald scored the winner at the Dunbar end 1-0 almost positive, it was nuts at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 August 1982. Calamitous goalkeeping by Henry at the Dunbar end in the last minute. Lost 1-0. Jock Stein, apparently, presented the trophy to Hibs but I'd long since been swept off the away terracing by fighting between the Gorgie Aggro and cops. A lot of trouble and smashed windows on Easter/London Road. I had to double back at the top of Leith Walk, as I lived down that way, and read about the Princes' Street/Sports shop stuff in the EEN the following day. I was 14, Hearts were not good, but those were the days. The Skol Festival Cup/Man City/Coventry thing had nothing to do with it, btw. That was 1979.

Roddy scored early down the slope in the first half, Hibs equalised close to FT but Gordon Rae (og) won it for us at the Dunbar end. My first derby. My second was the Tom Hart game the following Summer. My third was the 3-2 game. Not bad after the 70's childhood of Hibs dominance.

Bull's-eye Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I thought it was a last minute penalty that decided it. Outside the Shitpit afterwards was mayhem, cars being lifted up and turned over, some with people in them, blood and broken glass all over the place. The good old days 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmorewasgash Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It was certainly some night my old man didnt even know id went with mates too it lol. My first trip to fester was also a pretty nuts affair I was young but I do remember that we were losing easily and later on in second half and hibs fans thought hearts fans were all leaving and they did but round to their end and mayhem ensued as some hobos were chased onto pitch. Not sure when it was I was very young might have been east of scotland or real game not sure. The 70s were mental but strangely fun even though we were called the worst fans in scotland imagine kickback in those days as we were awful mostly.

The 70s were mental but strangely fun even though we were called the worst fans in scotland imagine kickback in those days as we were awful mostly. March 1977 IIRC. We lost 3-1 and we were well on our way to our first relegation. The main (east) terrace was still unsegregated but the Gorgie Aggro was kicking the living daylights out of anything in green so the Hibs got escorted by the old bill into the cow shed behind the goal. The Hearts fans left early en masse in total silence and congregated at the cow shed exit waiting for the doors to open. When they did there was such a mass of Hearts fans running up the steps to get at the Hibs fans. I was thirteen and I don’t think my feet touched the ground on my way up. The Hibs fans panicked and had to invade the pitch to escape us. Totally mental days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chat Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) We lost 1-0 to a last minute goal. Hibs lumped a cross into the box, Henry went up for it and missed it, the ball hit off Jackie MacNamara's back and bounced into the net. It was kicking off all game in the Dunbar End (I was in the enclosure with my old man) Hearts fans fighting the polis, darts and golf balls getting thrown at Jim McArthur, Hearts fans on the pitch at times. Absolute chaos. Hearts fans singing "Tom Hart's dead". One of my old man's pals (Les from the Merchie Hearts) got lifted and as he passed us whilst he was being lead away by the old bill my old man shouted "Alright Les?", Les replied "No bad big man" After the match was unreal. Hearts fans just went on the rampage. We were on a 44 bus heading home along Princes Street when Jenners windows were getting put in. One of the best Gorgie Aggro moments ever. Just a shame we lost, even though it meant bugger all. Edited July 4, 2022 by Le Chat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was unfortunate enough to live in Lochend at the time (😉) so the old man must have thought it would be handy to take me along to my first game/first derby there. Don’t recall any bother - but think I was in the main stand. Don’t really recall much at all, unsurprisingly. Always thought, however, that it finished 0-0… but we probably left before the last-minute goal. Happy to say I’ve only witnessed a handful of derby defeats in the four decades since! 👍😁 ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Cockade Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hearts were piss poor at best and the fans panned the windows in Jenners and generally acted like arseholes Good old days? Nah not for me Always supported the Club 100% in those days and hardly missed a game but a lot of the fans were a total embarrassment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, he fumbled it under the bar and it went over the line. Right or wrong, that's my memory of it on the Dunbar end. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
