stevieC@pivot Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Any outsider reading this thread would think that between 1970 and 1985 Hearts had a bigger amount of nutcases following them than was locked up in carstairs :eek::eek: How dare you !!

speedbump Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 def west end. after the 96 final 5-1 huns game there was a mini bus of huns giving it all the 5-1 gestures. so the bus emptied to leather them and all they said was oh come on we are all prodies together so someone from our bus lobbed a bottle hit a guy in the head and was then promptly booted back the way he had just came from. also even the driver was fighting that day. me and another guy chased a guy through the housing scheme had a set too with a guy we ran back on the bus and he got lifted funny as feck. another time after the 98 final there was a hun ran out the boozer we where passing ran upto the bus and then stuck the head on the window but the stupid fecker head butted the stud on the emergency exit window and ended up with a hole in his head all his mates where ****ing themselves. 95 cup final, was funny as feck. mind the bird handing out her window shouting "haw, you that's ma man!" only yo be told "shut up ya weegie slag or you'll get done in as well!":) It was a tim that nutted the bus @ Parkhead;) cause he took offence at my flag:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldChampions1902 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Was with the Manor 71-75. Great bus. If I remember correctly, Colin used to collect the Tote money every week. If you sold 50p worth of tote tickets , you got on the bus for free.(Later went uo to 75p) Was there not a Graham Black?.. in the club along with a young boy who went on to work with Hearts who used to be with Drylaw Tough Chaps? My Dad made me join a club after myself and 42 others on an SMT excursion from St Andrews Square to Methil for a league cup game got taken to the local police station after some numpty had raided a bakers' shop and then hidden his pies etc under a seat on the bus. He thought it was dead funny. 4 hours later than Scheduled we arrived home. I was a member at the same time. The Graham Black you remember is perhaps the late Graham Blackwood? GB was a Hearts fanatic and wrote a couple of books on the club history IIRC. I think the Colin you recollect is Colin Campbell? Bit of a hippy with long hair who used to sprinkle OXO cubes into his roll-ups. At least that's what I thought it was at the time. I understand that Colin has also passed away sadly. I was only a youngster at the time and I now realise that the club had more than it's fair share of 'loose cannon's', which made some of the trips eventful to say the least. Scary times.

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I've heard some cracking stories about the pivot. I used to go away with the pivot for a couple of seasons in the 70s. Don't recall anything drastic, but a couple of amusing things. Remember chaos in the bar of one pub in Montrose during a cup match. There was only one very distracted barman. A raid behind the bar resulted in a good few bottles of vodka etc. walking out the door. ANother memory is of p*ssing in beer cans opened up with the old style openers (before ring pulls) on a trip across the Forth Bridge and emptying them out the safety door window. At least two went across motorbike riders. Probably these kind of things happened on (or out the window of) every bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasman Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I've got to say The Rainbow Hearts.
