Captain Scarlett Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 When you watch this i want your feelings at the time. If remembered. I was there with my dad and was only 13 years old. At full time as the mighty Hearts were lifting the cup my dad was crying, i turned and said "Dad why are you crying?" He replied "your so lucky son, you have seen Hearts win the scottish cup at such a young age, I've endured 40 years of pain" Truly magical.

Generic Username Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I was just a nipper, 13 years of age on that glorious day but it'll stay with me for the rest of my life. Meant so much more than the cup win a couple of seasons back. Absolutely tremendous day. It's days like that that make years of medicority and off field nonsense worth the wait. Unless we were to do the unthinkable and win the league, I'm not sure anything would come close to the euphoria I felt that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlett Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 I also remember seriously kacking my pants when McCoist came on. Then when he scored that was the longest 10 mins of my life. I also had more kack in my pants when McCoist was fouled late on just outside the box and every1 (including myself) thought they had a penalty.

Ally Alexander Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Wardie-Wardie, Is your surname Wardropper by any chance? The reason I ask is that I was at the 1962 league Cup Final with my best mate from primary school, Robert Wardropper, known as Wardie, and his dad. If we had know the years of hurt to follow we may not have left before John Cumming lifted the cup but Wardie's dad wanted to try and make a quick get-away. Always felt we were being disrepectful but as it was ****ing down we didn't complain too much. In 1965, I gave my fairly extensive programme collection, my football monthlies and scrapbooks to his younger brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I noticed, but had forgotten about was when Fulton first picks up the ball after kick off, Ferguson hacks him to the ground with a late tackle. Once Fulton runs into the pen box, it's Ferguson again plus a.n.other that give away the pen. Watch Fulton as the camera follows him back. What is he saying? "Arse----", I wonder to who?

SectionDJambo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 98 was brilliant because of the wait and previous multiple suffering we had. 06 was brilliant, but mainly because of the semi. On both occasions, it was torture towards the end. Not wishing to be greedy, but if we get back again in my lifetime, it would be nice to tie things up by half time, so that we can actually enjoy the game. Then again, I became convinced it would never happen for me, so the torture was worth it. My sons are lucky wee sods to have seen it twice before they left school. :107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait till we do it again, i feel it in my water we won't wait too long Hope your right mate. I`ll take a win in any way it comes, extra time, pens v Gretna etc... but i`d love us to go back to Hampden and win in 90 mins versus Celtic or Aberdeen, it`s a dream of mine. Why? a) Celtic are just one club i`d really really love to beat in a cup final. The day they celebrated in 1986 still haunts me and they`re such a lucky team at times. b)Aberdeen are really pi ssin g me off bigtime just now. Can`t stand Calderwood and every season he says The Sheep are going to do this and that. He also hates an underhand dig at us and there`s plenty envy from him too. Truly fantastic day 1998, overwhelming in a football sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zicoinexile Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 What a fantastic weekend. Some of us thought we would never live to see it, especially when the familiar script appeared to be written as McCoist went down awaiting his penalty..... Weirdest part was not knowing what to do when we eventually left Celtic Park - we only knew how to console ourselves after cup finals.... this was new. But we learned quick.... A fantastic weekend.

Mister Dee Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Greatest weekend of my life. I' like to apologise to the 5 year old boy standing along from me whom I started calling a "lucky wee B*******" for seeing Hearts win the Cup at his first game. I was a bit emotional:booze: How good was Adam? If only we had a guy of that class just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeBandit Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Fantastic day, wasn't the game... was invited up to my blue-nosed mates house (rather cynically and patronisingly as only the Old Firm against Hearts can manage.!!) so took my 18 cans of Mcewans lager with me... His girlfriends brother was in with a couple of pals who weren't into football and at final whistle tried to change channell.. He stopped mid buttons when I picked him up to throw him out the window screaming oaths about lifting the cup etc!! FAF.. After presentation etc we went to the local, Parafin lamp in livi.. I've NEVER seen it so deserted, utterly silent. Chuffed as feck to be a jambo! After several celebratory/condoling pints I made my home.. No-one in my street knew I was a Jambo..... Until that night!! Woke them all up singing and trampling their gardens... fantastic. Adam, one of the best Hearts players in the modern era bar none. As an aside, I remember another goal he scored against Rangers.. At Ibrox I believe, going AWAY from goal, about 25 yards out, turns and volleys ball into net.. Orange Bob said of it..

I also had more kack in my pants when McCoist was fouled late on just outside the box and every1 (including myself) thought they had a penalty. Thats one of my most vivid memories of the game strangely, I remember seeing Willie Young pointing thinking it was a penalty and as he got closer to the box his hand began to lower till he was pointing to the edge of the box, I celebrated that almost as much as the goals as thats when I knew it was our day. My brother still reminds me he had his head in his hands and all he heard was me shouting '****** me he's given a ******ing free kick' Happy days, 06 was good as it meant we had something to show for that season but 98 was getting the monkey off our back, revenge for 96 and knowing that Robbo finally got his medal.

So excruciating. 90 minutes away from saying you`ve seen yer team win the league, really hard to take. But, 1998 is probably as close as you can get to feeling like you`ve won a league. 36 years without a trophy, the emotional rollercoaster of 90 minutes football, the mental turmoil of 1986 hanging over us, doubts in our minds if we`ll hang on, 2-1 and Willie Young blows that whistle.................felt like a whole season in one day!

janie jones Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Apart from the birth of my daughter I would say that day was the best of my life, no exageration it was just amazing. I often forget that the filth from the Lochend went down the same season, couldn't have been any better. Having been through all the nearly times of the mid - late eighties and early 90's it was a day many of us had long dreamed but never felt would happen.

Dalstonjambo Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I was only 12 at the time too, same as someone else said, only game I can remember in my head whenever I want, keeps me going in the dark times! I remember my old man turning to me and saying 'son, I've waited.40 years for this, so not sure we'll be going back to essex anytime soon' he had tears streaming down his face, and I did too. Only partly cos he did, when that happened, it really hit home to me that all those 8 hour car journeys from essex were worth it, and we'd done it to be there for that day. I remember just being shellshocked. We drove back through the night on sunday after the parade, and I think I cried with happiness the whole way home. I remember getting home, and my dad saying to my mum '**** marrying you, **** the kids being born, that was the best day of my life' - my mum just laughed! And there was a 12 year old bo y wearing a beaming smile and a hearts scarf at an essex school the next day, and no one made me take it off, they knew! 06 was great as I appreciated more what was going on, but nothing will match 1998.
