We ended up finishing in 2nd place, nine points behind Rangers and one point in front of Celtic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Looking at all the pics... was that the game when all of Lothian and Borders finest were stood in front of the Hearts support. I also remember getting smacked in the back of the head by the many missiles raining down. Edited November 16, 2023 by Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to 2005 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Had been to the 2 games at Easter Road the previous season but they were extremely tame compared to this afternoon. As a 14 year old kept well out the way to the left of the goal as it all started going crazy after the Hibs goal and at half time. Similar scenes at Tannadice at the league cup semi a few weeks later. Great pictures Danny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Anyone remember the "We're the best behaved supporters in the land (when we win)" chant in the early/mid 80's? It wasn't true. Not down at Easter Road, anyway. August '84 was my second Hearts win there, my first was another 1-2 in the East of Scotland Shield in October 1981 and the GA "enjoyed" themselves both times. Hibs casuals at the second game: Pffft. Edited November 16, 2023 by martoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire_At_The_Disco Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 What a mental day that was, I was 16 and can remember the police on horses just taking swings at anyone that moved after the game, got battered on the head. Was an absolute riot at St James centre too, our fans absolutely wrecked the place……these were dark times 😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
