I doubt it but the road up to tomorrow's venue doesn't look too far of it

I was in Morocco recently. Marrakesh is in the southern part of the centre. South of that doesn't have much in the way of large towns.

Have we actually played in South Morocco??

We’ve never played in South Morocco or anywhere in Morocco for that matter 

But what was the greatest game in history?

The game on the nineteenth of May
 

For the youngsters yes but after 35 years, 6 months and 2 weeks of waiting to see Hearts win anything, the Rangers final will never be surpassed for me.:

100%. We went there more in hope than believe. Most of us having never seen Hearts win anything and thinking we probably never would. The scenes,jubilation and utter utter disbelief that we had won it at full time was immense. What a day.

In fact the perfect weekend.  We won,I had first goalscorer and was dragged home by a fat burd!!!

I was at both . The greatest for me was 2012 and I do appreciate many disagree . It also scans better for the song .

We did …. a tour in the 1970s … I think (or perhaps late ‘60s)!


‘Big albino’ (don’t know his real name) from Linlithgow actually went!!

After the Texaco Cup Final in 1971 we played x6 games (or thereabouts) in the USA and some games in Canada. 

It was a big story back in the day with reports daily in the Evening News & Scotsman!!

 

I’m sure I have newspaper cuttings in a scrapbook in the loft in one of my many boxes filled with Hearts paraphernalia!!

1971 Several foreign clubs made visits to the US to play exhibition matches, although on a smaller scale than the previous year. New York Cosmos were a major destination for these clubs. Along the highlights, Hearts of Scotland defeated the Cosmos 4-0 and 4-2 and drew 0-0 with Rochester. Lanerossi-Vicenza of Italy defeated the Cosmos 5-3 and lost to Rochester 3-4. Appollon of Greece drew with the Cosmos 1-1, and Bangu of Brazil drew with Rochester 1-1 and defeated the Comsos 6-1.

We haveplayed in the USA lots of times,  multiple games in tours  in 1958, 1960, 1964,  1971, 1987, often against big names from England 

 

In a "world tour" in  1976 we played a Mauritius X!. We have played in South (or even North) Mauritious would work but as the rest of the tour was in New Zealand and Australia I am not sure where the game was actually played.

Would international ventures to US and other countries get us any more fans? I know big clubs do it due to their followings the world over but would it benefit us in any way or just cost us a fortune.

"We arrived late just in time to see the end of the first game -
Timbuktoo Town two Tripoli three, someone said - didnae have a clue what he was goin' on aboot, mind - and we were on next.
We'd been drawn against Dynamo Vladivostock and shared nine goals with them in a thriller.
Unfortunately they were a wee bitty selfish and scored all nine.""

 

A wee bitty selfish 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember this guy from the 70's on the "football specials"

 

For the young uns, football specials were trains (bloody cattle trucks) that were laid on for games (SC tie at Dumfies) to ferry loads of fans.

They would normally finish the journeys with tanned in windows.
