piltonjambo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 "What's the longest unbeaten run of any club against their city (or otherwise local) rivals in official matches?" Hearts were unbeaten against their city rivals Hibernian for 22 games during that period, starting with a 1-0 victory at Tynecastle at the start of the 1989-90 season and not ending until August 1994. Ah ... absolute bliss!!! :108years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$ilvery_Moon Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 :108years: :108years::108years: World famous for not winning a trophy and world famous for their pathetic derby record. Please someone post BOTH articles on tards.net to see the reaction. You almost feel sorry for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 The run actually started with a 2-1 win towards the end of season 88/89; some 20 years ago now. Scorers: Houchen Bannon Robertson Robbo's winner began with a great pass and move interchange between Ferguson, Bannon and Tosh. Robbo stated after game that his injury at Newcastle had caused one of his legs to grow longer than the other. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the '22 in a row' and '90 goals' video/DVD, more than a few inflatable bananas can be seen on the terraces, in keeping with the times. Buffalo Bill .

I remember it well as I was going to my mate's 21st birthday party straight after. He's a Hobo, it was his actual birthday, and he was at the match. One of his brothers refused to speak to me all night!! Well worth it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldChampions1902 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Brilliant. Last week we had Canadian Newspapers publishing the Hobbits woeful SC record under the heading "Losers Inc." and now the Guardian puts the boot in with the 22-in-a-row! What next I wonder..............? A Times Exclusive on The Hobbits attempts at forming the first "Batchelors Only" Supporters Club?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the North Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 just emailed them this... Chaps Delighted with your mention of Hearts unbeaten run against Hibernian in today?s 'The knowledge'. Can you confirm for me that as well as having enjoyed several streaks of dominance like this, we also in fact have the best head to head record in any major UK derby. We have won 130 competitive games, there have been 85 draws and 83 Hibs wins. I can?t think of another club that so consistently wins major local derbies, and would be intrigued to know if there were any more one-sided derby fixtures in the world. I have heard that only the Steaua/Dinamo derby in Bucharest is more one-sided, historically ? would love a definite answer, Yours truly, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Meldrew Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 What they fail to mention is that the 22 in a row run came hot on the heels of a 17 in a row run!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr X Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 My 21st birthday party took place the day the run ended. Buffalo Bill . We got beaten on my 21st too. 3-2 at home from St Johnstone. Took me a long time to forgive Hearts for that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
