Silvery_Moon Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 New Year's Day is fast approaching so here's an old derby classic. Robbo scores the only goal of the game. Alan Rough's contribution to the goal should not go unmentioned. A fine slip to allow John Colquhoun to set up Robbo. And not to forget - this made it 17 games undefeated against Hibs. Hibs would win the next derby but we'd soon beat the 17 game run with a 22 game run. We really did own them back then. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa3Ax661oZk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldstone Wonder Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Thanks mate. I got the 7.30 train up from Kings Cross with London Hearts to watch this game. I knew we'd won it but I had forgotten all about the game itself. A few thoughts occur: 1. I had imagined that both Jardines had exited stage left by then. 2. JC was being fouled non-stop by their cloggers. 3. Their defence consisted of Hunter, McIntyre, Mitchell and Jism. God, they were a poor side under Miller.

No longer active Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Nice to see the 87 team again. Forgot how versatile McPherson was. Good to see poor old Brian Whittaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Bishop Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 The advertising board behind Rough for "Croall and Croall" was my old mans work, we had directors box season tickets and were regulars in the director box for that season, met a few stars like Souness,Dalglish,and Alex Ferguson not too mention the whole Hearts team nearly every week!!

Mr Sifter Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 My overriding memory of that game is that I was in the main stand for it. I am a Shed/Wheatfield man. Only other game I watched from the main stand was v Motherwell when we needed to win to avoid a playoff (I think?), sure we won with a Brian Hamilton pen???

I think Hamilton scored with a diving header and Robbo scored a pen. Re the '87 game, we had a really strong team that season and finished above Souness' Rangers. You gotta laugh at Alan Rough. 17 derby games played. Zero wins! p0ab2: have you got Hearts 4 Dundee 2 from the same season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going to Ibrox in about the April and seeing us win 2-1, having gone behind to a Jan Bartram goal and we got a penalty. Was gutted at the Hampden Semi when Henry dropped the ball - I've always hated Mark McGhee since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Meldrew Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Oooooh! Pre derby nerves! I can honestly say I can't remember being worried about a derby - no matter how badly we are doing we seem to rise to the occasion, whereas the Hobos can usually be relied upon to bottle it.

Robbo missed a penalty in that match which stopped him getting a hat trick in the space of only 5 minutes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 The crowds we had in 87/88 were the biggest average since the 1960s (about 17,500), yet I remember we'd get 29,000 in some games and 8,000 in others. Contrast that to 2006/07 when every crowd figure given was almost exactly the same (about 16,700) The difference between the two of course was the size of Tynecastle back then and the need to have a season ticket post-Taylor Report.
