The_Supreme_Being Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 With the semi-final draw being made today, just wondered what everyone's best and worst memories of league cup semi-finals were. Best would be beating Dundee at Easter Road after knocking out Celtic in the quarters and playing one of the old time classic finals v Rangers. Worst has to be last season, just because we were cheated out of a final place, and a Dundee United-Hearts final would have been a cracker.

There is only one for many of us, isn't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 We've not had many good ones. St Johnstone was pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambolic performance , a terrible result and Jambos fighting amongst themselves that night. The last two against the Huns have been disappointing because we just never seemed to turn up.

Surrey Jambo Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 1978/79? Celtic at Hampden. JJ's short backpass puts them 1-0 up. Then Malky Robertson is 1 on 1 with their goalie, dribbles round him, then delays too long and goalie grabs the ball while we're all celebrating a goal. And there was a wee altercation between the two sets of fans. First time at Hampden and very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Very strange thread this. You would have to be nearly 60 to have memories of more than 1 LC semi victory. They've nearly all been rank rotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Skacel Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I remember last season when Hearts played football and Rangers played basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwull22 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 getting the draw wrong last season, then re-doing it and we ended up with Rangers, something from the west smells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The semi against Well at ER sticks in mind We went out but it was a cracking football game, pretty sure Hjalmer and jamie mac scored ours. Score was either 3-2 or 4-3. Just sticks in mind as a game I enjoyed despite the result Nothing will compare to 06 semi though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost in leith Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Memories of two in the 80s, when the semis were over two legs. Thinking we were back in the big time when we took 6-7000 to Ibrox midweek when we were still in the first division. Going to Tannadice for a midweek game during the Miners' strike when there was a lot of bother. Plenty of Hearts fans got lifted. Noticed that every guy who passed me on his way to a night in the cells had a 'Support the Miners' badge on. Coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Even though we lost the semi against Motherwell at Easter Road was a great night with us hugely outnumbering them. And I got a great black eye in the chaos in the East Stand when our equaliser for extra time went in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedbump Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 getting the draw wrong last season, then re-doing it and we ended up with Rangers, something from the west smells No the P.O. called the numbers wrong. In the practice run and the live draw. Nothing else, no west coast conspiracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groot Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Definately the St Johnstone game was the worst, first time I'd seen Hearts beaten at Fester Rd, best was the Dundee semi because it gave us hope so close to the pain of the SC Final defeat a few months earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Tarts 1874 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 How were we cheated? Nade hauled down in the box and Ferguson playing basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers 2 goals at Ibrox came late on and we played pretty well in the home leg too with Rangers' only goal in the 1-1 coming from a ridiculous (where have I heard that before?!) penalty decision. Was that the night someone won a Miller home and a car? I think it was - wasn't even won by an Hearts fan! Mercer really was some guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
