JamboPete Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Just reminiscing over amazing matches against the wee team. I will always remember my very first visit to easter rd, it was the 25th august 1984, the day after my 10th birthday, I wore my new Hearts away strip, the silver umbro one. I will always remember it because Hearts won 2-1, with Derek O'Connor scoring in the very last minute, it was truly amazing. What about everybody elses experiences?

richiehmfc Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 My first one was about 94/95 John Colquhon scored a double in a 2-0 win, both were peach's!!!

Craigieboy Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Sometime around 1986/87. We won 3-1. I remember my uncle Pete saying that he was disappointed with their late consolation goal because "it took the shine off the result". I'd take 3-1 on Sunday though. .

JamboJen Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 My first Derby at Fester was the 2-1 win when Elvis scored a penalty with a few minutes to go. Since then I think I've only missed 3 Derbies there, Garry O'Connor's last minute winner under Tepi, the Paul Hartley equaliser game and the CIS Cup Parade :( Never shall I miss a Derby there again!

Victorian Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 don't know the exact year, sometime in the early 80s, 2-1 hearts i seem to remember. also seem to remember being in an entirely different area of the terrace to the one which i was in before one of hearts goals, good old fashioned goal-fuelled terracing pandemonium.

Johnny Sandiego Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The first game i remember going to at Easter Road was the 4-1 game in 1991. From memory there had been a bit of trouble at the previous easter road game, so my mum told my dad to take extra care of me as i was only about 6 at the time. Unfortunatly he got rumbled, as TV footage of the match shows him running wildly down the stairs in the old enclosure, towards MacKay as he celebrated the 3rd, clearly abandoning his son in the process!

Buffalo Bill Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 East of Scotland Sheild 1982, attendance circa 10,000.

All I remember about it was the walk up the hill to the top of the Dunbar End. Some of my greatest Hearts' memories have been standing there. Buffalo Bill .

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 New Years Day 1996, lost 2-1. Pointon scored for us, Harper and O'Neil for them. The game when Eskilsson missed an open goal 'cause "the crowd was too loud". Next one exactly a year later was much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 My first derby at Fester Road was in 1983 in a 1 - 1 draw. Hibs scored through somebody called Bobby Thomson and young John Robertson equalized in the second half (i think). I remember they had an electronic scoreboard above their shed behind the goal, it kept repeating "well done Bobby Thomson" with an image of a hand clap, strange how it went off when Robbo scored though eh!? I went to most derbys at Fester Road, up until 1996, when Neil Pointon scored early for us and Hans Eskilsson missed a sitter, saying the noise of the crowd put him off! Think we lost 2-1...new years day! It was the first time i'd seen us lose down there and i said at the time i'd never go back there again. I did go back to the ground but not for Hibs matches, went to a St Johnstone semi-final which we lost 3-0 in 1998/99 and last time i was down at that hole was when we lost to Motherwell in another semi-final, after extra time. I did miss the other semi we played there, against Dundee which we won 3-1 in 96. Didn't go cause it was too close to when we lost that new year!

EC_Hearts Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 1974 lost 2-1 at ER Jimmy Cant scored an o.g, Kenny Garland saved two penalties, Donald Ford scored a penalty for us Mum worked beside John Brownlie's wife/ girlfriend so got tickets from him unfortunately for the Hibs bit of the stand. Dad was quite prepared to take on a section of the stand because one of them told his 7 yr old "hearts *******" son to stop waving his scarf. All in all an interesting introduction to the Edinburgh derby !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asomerville Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Sometime in the mid 70's the Terracing had still got the top section.

Debut 4 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 1987 or 88 . It was 2-2 with Hibs romping ahead 2-0 quite early in the game. I remember J.C lobbing one in but i can`t remember the other goal? It was absolutely pessing down all night and the atmosphere was electric. I was right next to the vermin with just that scabby old fence dividing the fans. There was as much entertainment there as on the park! For the record i was 14 years old.

Its been a long time baby Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Think this my 1st as well. Sitting in the old stand which we had a part off, seem to mind we had a lot of fans in the old cow shed as well. Hibs scored just before halftime, mind the Hearts fans letting a flare off in the dunbar end. Robbo scored a cracker in the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 My first trip to the MethaDome was only a few seasons ago. 1-1 with Paul Hartley equalizing. When the goal went in someone let off a massive smoke bomb and I couldn't see a thing! I got a letter from the cops about a week later asking if I could help them catch the culprit!
