I was one of the 2 hundred or so jambos there that night good finish on his left peg to be fair. Maclean's signature of jim bett was a masterstroke though wish he came a few years earlier.

Randy Marsh Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 There was a game around xmas time that season, could have been Falkirk but cant really mind as was really young at the time. But anyway, i seem to recall every supporter being handed out a free bag of Dorito's crisps. Think they had just come out at the time. Wouldnt mind if we did that again.

Victorian Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 jim bett was some signing right enough, he was excellent during his short time at hearts. one of the best midfielders to play for hearts for many years at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4-2 against Rangers was exquisite. . beating the dims at a rain soaked tyney early in the season wee robbo scored iirc .the dims made crosses with the seat covers sums those feckers up.made victory all the sweeter. Levien made a quite ridiculous injury time backward lunge on andy walker in the box absolute stonewaller penalty tae win some you loose some!! gerry mcnee was spitting feathers! aye the scottish cup game with the huns was a classic.

lost in leith Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Second season in a row when we needed something on the last day to be sure of avoiding relegation Did the trick the season before with a 1-0 win at Firhill, which didn't really matter because of other results. Highlights were the wins over the Huns in the cup,Tims home and away in the league. Also a very funny moment in the Balmoral after beating Utd 2-1 in the Cup quarter-final. The game was live on BBC1 on a Sunday. They didn't bother changing channels, but turned off the sound, with subtitles on. Songs of Praise came on, with Hymn number 369 being first up. An eagle eyed Jambo twigged what was coming - 1. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of his Spirit, washed in his blood. Refrain: This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long; this is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long. 2. Perfect submission, perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight; angels descending bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love. (Refrain) 3. Perfect submission, all is at rest; I in my Savior am happy and blest, watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love. (Refrain) Cue the first singalong to Songs of Praise I've ever seen. Downsides were the first loss to Hibs in years, and the Cup semi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Big Slim ran from his own half played a one two with Thomas ran on turned McLaren in the box and layed it on a plate for Thomas, brilliant game. Still remember ahead of the game when the teams were announced and there was no Hately in the Huns team and we sensed we had a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 There were spells in that season when Hearts played some really good stuff, and some of the results were great. We had a great spell against Rangers from 1995 to 1998, and we got the better of Celtic that season with two wins and two draws. It was also the season when Steve Frail played so well before getting that injury. The Scottish Cup run was so frustrating though. We beat Rangers in one the best games I've ever seen, and then Dundee Utd in what was a great day; only for us to choke agaisnt Airdrie at Hampden. Tommy McLean though, was a tosser, and the players hated him. He also lost our great record against Hibs. Although we berate 1994/95, there were some great moments. Buffalo Bill .

portobellojambo1 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Unbelievably scored a winner at Parkhead! Game was played midweek CB, at Hampden.

I was at Hampden that night, and I would say 200 Hearts fans at an absolute stretch. Still, I made the most of the space to enjoy a great celebration when Hagen scored; almost enough to imagine scoring at running up to the 'home' fans. Buffalo Bill .

Charlie-Brown Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 It was a very odd season - some tremendous results & some awful form and performances as well culminating in us having to win on the last day to avoid relegation fears - at one point on the last day we were either bottom or in the play-off place with about 30 minutes to play but 2 goals from us and changes in scores elsewhere meant remarkably we climbed 3 or 4 places and finished 6th. Our derby record was one to be forgotten that year with 3 defeats although our win in january was very enjoyable also can't believe that nobody as mentioned Willie Jamieson's 35 yard left foot against Celtic in the last minute...... The 4-2 cup win is on youtube somewhere I watched it on here a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From Perth to Paisley Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 that nobody as mentioned Willie Jamieson's 35 yard left foot against Celtic in the last minute......

TheBigO Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 cant really remember but was there not some story that year that was headlined something like "The Gorgie 6".

bighusref Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 ...can't believe that nobody as mentioned Willie Jamieson's 35 yard left foot against Celtic in the last minute...... I vividly remember this. My season ticket at the time was in the seated area behind the dug out, and at that time there was no School End of any kind, there was only that black tarpaulin thing. There was a tear in it around about the goal area, and when Jamieson scored, you could see hundreds of Hearts fans going mental despite the fact that none of them knew how good a goal they had just missed. Also, was that the season that there was a band in that gap pre match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
