Buffalo Bill Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Great seasons from the past 25 years. 85/86 - 31 games unbeaten from Sep to May 97/98 - great football, goals galore and a cup win 05/06 - bitter-sweet season, '8 in a row' and cup win Very good seasons ... 87/88 - Big crowds, great team, above Souness' Rangers 91/92 - Joe Jordan, leading the league until Jan Good seasons ... 83/84 - Great season after years in the widerness 89/90 - Solid team - Crabbe, Colquhoun and Robbo 95/96 - JJ turns Hearts around 02/03 - Lots of late goals under Levein 03/04 - Lots of points in the bag (68) Better than average ... 96/97 - McCann, Cameron, Weir Could've/shoud've been better.... 86/87 - The hangover season 88/89 - Great Uefa Cup run, but finished 6th 90/91 - Terrible 'red' bukta strip clouds the memory 04/05 - Lots of turmoil, yet some good performances. We struggled to find form ... 84/85 - Dad's Army retreat 92/93 - Hearts in decline 00/01 - End for Jeffries 01/02 - Levien's team struggling to find form 06/07 - Massive let down, Mad Eddie, Riccarton 3 Overall, we were pretty rank ... 94/95 - Nearly relegated, yet some great wins 93/94 - Only Hibs made this season fun 07/08 - Oh dear. The last two sesons have been 'down there'. Where will this season end up? Looking back over these seasons, I think my generation has had it pretty good. Don't you? Even some of the so-called crap seson have given us great times. Your thought on the changin' of the seasons.... Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the MacDonald/Mercer era, the first three years of Jim Jeffries spell was good also. Yet more tellingly, it was 'steady'. We were a stable. But then JJ lost the plot a wee bit, and debts started to get out of control. The last ten years has been anything but stable. Buffalo Bill .

Perhaps you're right, although I've placed 06/07 three tiers below and we finished higher up the league two years ago than we did in 83/84. But 83/84 is special, as you've said because we 'were back', after the dismal years of relegation etc. It is also worth pointing out the quality we faced in 83/84, with Aberdeen the Cup Winners Cup winners, and champions Dundee Utd reaching the last four of the European Cup. I should maybe also have rated 94/95 lower. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deevers Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'd like to think that this season could be a good one for us - that depends on what happens in January however. if we bring in a few decent players, who knows we might even manage a decent cup run. If we don't and lose a few players in the window we will struggle to get into the top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't but I'm sure someone like Top Cat will. We did have quite a run of having one good, one not so good season. Seasons ending on even numbers tended to be better than the seasons ending on an odd number. All but one (02/03) of the top 10 best seasons ended on an even number. Buffalo Bill .

bigandy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Pretty much agree with all those except I would maybe have 96/97 as 'good'. We were a bit inconsistient and our form faded towards the end of the season missing out on third. But we played some good football and you could see the teams attacking options taking shape with the likes of Mickey, McCannn and Fulton gelling. Plus we made a cup final and for the first time in my lifetime actually put in a good performance in a final and looked as if we might win it.

Buffalo Bill Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Did we no do them 0-3 in 96 with Johnston's hattrick? I think Charlie means 'goals scored'.

London Hearts criteria of 'biggest wins' is also based on goals scored not winning margins, anyway last season was the first time we'd put four goals past Rangers in the league since the 1930's although we had managed this a couple of times in the Scottish cup.

The season ended on a real high though, with the unvieling of Stephane Adam and the record-breaking feats of John Robertson. A funny sort of season, flanked by better seasons. Buffalo Bill .

Buffalo Bill Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 I thought we had done them 3-0 at home as well but there were quite a few 3-1s around that time too and as I have been drinking heavily since I was in my early teens I thought I might be getting mixed up!

Buffalo Bill Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 The Bosnian Bullet saga is for me one of the most frustrating episodes in all my Hearts supporting episodes of frustration. We will never know if he was actually worth the dosh (although for the fastest winger who ever lived, he appeared to be slower than a snail on temazepam - if it was a race between him and Eric Idle's character from the Adventures of Baron Munchasen I know who my money would be on). He was one of many sorry episodes from the last two years. Take you pick from Fast Eddie, the Riccarton '3', Korbotchka's 'Just for Men' and the loss of all our good players. Buffalo Bill .

I think the entire end held around 18,000. The smaller section (our normal bit) held around 6,000 and the bigger bit held around twice that. Rangers used to get both sections.

We were shocking. Jeffries took the players back to Barringtons in January, but the press reports said that the atmosphere was awful, and upon our return, we got booted out of the cup by Murderwell. The great team of 97/98, were heading for relegation, no doubt. But then three things happened. We signed Darren Jackson. McSwegan started scoring. ...and Cameron's hip injury was cured by using a gum-shield! ...and all in the nick of time. And in the end, we finished the season in great form. Mo Berthe, and going bottom of the league in March didn't really happen. It was all a bad dream. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about ten of the team were over 30 that day, with Smith and Kidd both well over 35. Came on the back of an absolute tanking at Tannadice when we lost 5-2 after going 1-0 up in the first 5 minutes, to a Dundee Utd team who got relegated. If I remember rightly, we started that season awfully but had a run of about 3 defeats in 18 games from Boxing day on, including beating Rangers twice. Then Stevie Frail knackered his ligaments at Tannadice and I think we lost 8 out the last ten, including the cup semi to Airdrie. Funny to think that if Shaggy's knee had held up Tommy McLean could have been remembered as a great Hearts manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lasting memory of 1993-94 was the protest against Mercer outside the stand after a 1-0 home defeat to Raith in December just before Christmas. stinking weather and I think we'd not won in about ten games. I think the win at Easter Road in October was our only win in about 18 or 19 games, a truly horrendous time. That for me was the season we came closest to relegation. 3 teams went down that year and we only had 1 defeat in our last ten matches, yet only finished two points outside the bottom 3. 1992-93 was memorable only for being the tail end of the Jordan era, again no wins in our last ten games after the semi defeat to Rangers at Celtic Park. including the infamous 0-6 at Brockville.

I can't but I'm sure someone like Top Cat will. I've got it somewhere and I'll try and look it out but it's objectively based on the raw results. It ignores the fact that the criteria for a good season are a bit more subjective as expectations raise and lower. For example In absolute terms 2006/07 wasn't a bad performance by normal standards. We got a points total that would usually have clinched 3rd and could consider ourselves unlucky to be pipped at the post by aberdeen delivering the best performance outside of ourselves and the OF in five or six years. If it had happened in the wake of a genuine bad season then it would have been easy to be upbeat about it. However, It followed 05/06 and thus, like whoever it was that followed Queen at live aid, it was a bit of an anticlimax. Although not quite as bad as the previous Cup Hangover season of 98-99 On the other hand for any team that's just been promoted, Finishing 11th will feel like a bit of a triumph.

Agree with your praise of both these seasons. I suppose it is worth considering in this thread the comparision between Hearts and our own expectations, and the comparision between Hearts and the quality of the oppostion we faced at any given time. In essence, the time to win the league is when the Old Firm are weak. And they were (as a collective) fairly weak in our 'top 3' seasons from the last 25 years. Oppertunities lost. Buffalo Bill .

What Rangers and Celtic do better than everyone else is turn draws into wins. Since the 3 pts for a win era, only 1 non-of team has finished within 10 points of Celtic/Rangers in 14 years.

Yes it was BB and the others were terrific seasons too when you look at them in context, three 2nd places and a good 3rd place in the space of 7 seasons - at the time we were disappointed cos we had no trophies to show but in terms of achievement & SPL placings it's as well as we've done in a very long time or since.....that would get 3 champions league chances these days......

In fact Wallace Mercer claimed on the history of Hearts video (1992) that Hearts were the true Scottish Champions because Rangers considered themselves out of anyone else's league. But that's just Hibby-talk. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
