JohnB Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Thanks for posting that Hambone. Even though it still hurts I just had to watch it. Memories, memories - I'm away to bed to cry myself to sleep. Wonder if I'll have that recurring dream I used to have of strangling Frank McGarvey?

Jambo66 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 3 times my team has made me cry - Dens Park 1986, Celtic Park 1998 (although strictly speaking, it was the morning after the Cup Final I actually cried), and Tynecastle 2006 when we beat Aberdeen to finish second. I wouldn't have it any other way. Forever maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I don`t think a support of any other club would have done what we did. That ovation at the end of the Cup Final a week after Dens was major lump in the throat stuff. It capped a great season in one hand but also a despairing one in the other.

BigTidy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I always thought they should do one of these about the 98 cup winning team. Obviously 86 is a very dramatic story and can't fault them for that but they've since had ones about diddy cup wins. It was disappointing when they did the Celtic 98 title winning team they completely erased Hearts from the title race. Didn't fit their story of them busting 10 in a row.

shaun.lawson Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 God. That programme's been on YouTube for ages now, but it's the first time I've ever had the stomach to watch it. What it must've been like for Wallace, Doddie, the players and the fans is still beyond my comprehension: it's just horrific. A word for Doddie especially: why did he never get the recognition he deserved as a manager? The poor guy hit the post so often, yet dragged the team up by its bootstraps. I really liked how Henry Smith came across in the programme too. What I think is special is how we've never forgotten the team of '86, and venerated them more than almost any other. Fingers crossed, one day they'll have the chance to see the League flag raised in Gorgie again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Just watched it again. That Sportscene theme tune of the time haunts me everytime i hear it! Just reminds me of that fateful day. Alex MacDonald was a great manager. People forget Scottish football was of no doubt a higher standard then as teams like Aberdeen and Dundee Utd were strong and you also had the OF, although Rangers weren`t too hot but they still had dangerous players. Once he established us he more often than not kept us up there and we had the memorable run in Europe under him too. I`ve no doubt the failure at the end of the 86 season affected the players mentally. To go on and lose a Scots Cup semi to StMidden a season later was sore and then throw away a 1-0 lead over Celtic at the same stage a year on was majorly disappointing. It all go`s to help the younger fans understand the euphoria of the 1998 cup win. i hope it does anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer and MacDonald were perfect for Hearts at the time. We got some spirit back, the fight, the passion, the pride and as JC said some dignity back. In my eyes no probably about it they put the club back were it belonged. So Doddie will always be my favourite Hearts manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danni Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I was working in London the day of the defeat at Dundee. For superstitious reasons I hadn't heard anything of the game and I confidently walked into my regular watering hole expecting to celebrate a famous league win for my beloved team. The gaffer, a Chelsea man, took me aside, bought me a pint, and broke the news to me. He had a soft spot for the Hearts and big respect to him; he took care of me as I crumbled into a complete mess in a corner of his pub. I have relived these moments many times and the only way that pain will leave me is a league win in my lifetime. Hey, its not impossible, I'm only 55. And I still believe! One day we will get the break we deserve. Hearts Glorious Hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gutted. This wasn't in the script. It was silence on the way home in the car with four other friends. Once I got out the car and started walking round to my house, I completely lost it. That night in the pub in Bathgate we were all bawling our eyes out. It still hurts after nearly 23 years. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonman Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Was at dens that fateful day but left just before the second goal , Just couldn't handle my emotions after the first goal. And had never seen the second goal until i watched the above video. Still hurts and have a tear in my eye typing this . Being born and bred in Perth the hatred still burns more for ****dee than any other. Thought that Wee Doddie was absolutely brilliant , He and Wallace laid the foundations for the club we have now. Even though JJ brought us our first trophy in many years, I still believe that it was down to Wee Doddie and Wallace . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Harris' Best Mate Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hibs' greatest ever season. Honouring a man who never played for them, celebrating at the final whistle as they're team finished 3rd bottom ahead of Motherwell and Clydebank, finishing the season with 1 point out of 8, 4 goals for and 7 goals against versus the Hearts. Aye, a Hearts failure is a Hibs success, little do they realise that the majority of Hearts fans see 1985/86 as the greatest ever season.
