martoon Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I have many, like most, but I still think that wet night on the open Dunbar end terrace on 2 Jan, 1991 is my favourite. 0-2 up after 15 minutes; 0-3 at half time. Gary Mackay scored an og late on but a cracking Levien volley snuffed out any Hibs resistance. I was only 5 when we beat them 4-1 in 1973. I wasn't there and have no real recollection so that night at ER was my first thrashing of Hibs. Bought the "Thrashed" T-shirt from the Murieston Lane bloke three days later.

frankblack Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Quite a few. Tte 3-0 with Sandy Clark in temporary charge. The 4-1 where Gary MacKay scored at both ends. Stamp derby. Wayne Foster. Mickey scoring twice in a 4-0. Too many.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyBizarro Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Mine is from 2009. We were down to ten men after Big Zal got sent off. Those clowns were 2-1 up with not long to go and Stephen Elliott equalised. It was only a draw, but a split second after Elliott scored I was rolling about on the floor…..my boy who was 16 at the time, went absolutely mental and grabbed me and his younger sister. Scrambling about on the floor, I should have been annoyed……pissed off….and embarrassed. But I just remember thinking…”ah, so not loosing to these muppet’s means this much to you 😂” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) Elvis penalty in 2002 will always rank highly. I was 8, it was my first derby, and despite not my first Hearts game, it was together with my Dad. 20 years on, I've still got plenty vivid memories of that match including my Dad letting me stick 2 fingers up to the vermin as we left the ground victorious. Always said that was the turning point for me. The night I really got the bug. I thought the David Obua derby was incredible too. I mean it was a pretty shite game, but the final 10/15 minutes was mental and the carnage in that stand having to share it with them. I had zero expectation of getting a ticket and somehow managed only the afternoon before the game. But, I'd probably say my favourite was the 3-1 before lockdown. An awful campaign, and one of those few times I turned up there not expecting to have much fun. Tight first half, but then we just rodgered them silly in the 2nd. The view I had of Bozanic's goal was perfect. The feeling when Washington put us 3 up was just incredible. I remember just looking to the heavens above thinking I was having a heart attack. If Naismith stuck that 4th away then it would've been somehow even more mental. Shame we conceded but bollocks to them. Sadly more shite followed on the park, before the whole world went mental and life as we knew it vanished. But for one evening, we were happy.

No Idle Talk Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) The Wayne Foster Derby. It was special for me on several levels. I had never seen Hearts play Hibernian in a Scottish Cup tie until that day, that was something I had wanted to see for a long time. It was the first and only Hearts match I have been to with both my parents. And obviously we won. Not only did we win but we won with a late goal, which is pretty much my favourite way to win a football match. Apart from missing wee Robbo's opener, due to my auld man's dawdling in the boozer, it was a great day all round.

Aye, at the time it was 15 years since the last cup meeting and only about 7 in 40 years. The old firm always seems to get drawn together(apart from when they meet in finals) while Hearts and Hibs rarely did. Even then it wasn’t until the 2006 semi that the blue touch paper was finally lit for numerous ties bringing us together since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Would love to have been at the Mercer derby. One for the oldies though, 5-3. Wallace got a double iirc. Hibs weren't the duplicitous toerags they are today at that time and they played their part in making it a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
