Silvery_Moon Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I've had a few requests for this particular match here and on Youtube so here it is. Full highlights included as well as interviews at the end With Alex Macdonald and Sandy Jardine. Poor Robbo misses a penalty which denies him his hat trick.

Buffalo Bill Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Was that game the first ever televised and it was on a sunday? No, you're thinking of Hearts v Aberdeen which was played on Sunday 20th April 1986, a 1-1 draw and the 30th and penultimate game of our 31 game unbeaten run.

Buffalo Bill Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great stuff and thanks again to p0ab2, this was one of my requests satisfied. A couple of observations: The same ref, one Gerry Evans sent four Hearts players off at Ibrox nine years later. Hugh Burns, for me, had an excellent game and looked a better footballer than Walter Kidd. Archie McPherson, old Wheatabix Heid is just great. Corny, yes. Old Fashioned, yes, but someone I always felt had a soft spot for Hearts. Dundee are a team that always seem to get good players from somewhere. Hearts, 1987/88 could've gone all the way but we hit a bad run of draws not long after this. Old Tynecastle Park...gone but not forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjambo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I loved watching this. It was around this time that I really began my obsession with Hearts. I was brought up in England so only got to see us a couple of times a season but I loved it. I loved the old Tynie and absolutely hero worshiped John Colquhoun. I could easily have supported Liverpool or Man Utd since they were more local teams but nothing compared to my trips up to watch Hearts. Done things I noticed: Old football was better. Neil Berry's clattering foul would have been a straight red nowadays. He never even got booked. Nobody surrounded the ref after the penalty decision. It was just accepted. The twirly was great. Squad numbers should be scrapped so that 1-11 can come back. It was much better then. Wayne Foster was better than I remember. So was Kenny Black. Hearts fans singing 'Its a grand old team to play for'. I forgot about that. Sounds weird now. I'm very glad that I support Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Great viewing and nice to see 'jockey caps' being sported in the ground and to hear a few old renditions of songs that would apparently be unacceptable now: and if you know...

hoof.hearted Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I loved it back then but unlike most others, I am not living in the past. I was in my mid twentys & thought we were great. It WAS exciting, but even our average fringe players of today can control a pass better than every player on the park (except maybe Robbo & JC) If I'm honest, only the same 2 would have a chance of getting into todays squad. People that say players were better then either............ 1)don't go now. 2)giving their mind a treat. 3)are the same dinosaurs that harp on aabout 'white away strips' every summer.

Craigieboy Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks for the video. My observations: I started going to games just before this but I can never recollect there being standing in the enclosure. I wish I had at one time watched my football from the enclosure Bar scarves piss all over your fancy 'read my scarf' efforts Why would anyone choose to stand in the school end, uncovered & what sort of people were they? Proper rabble rousing songs being sung like 'hello hello', before the degenerate **** ups that take offense began to rule football The grey/maroon track suits that the ballboys wore I love the old Tynecastle & I love Hearts Sandy Jadine & Alex Macdonald looked about the classiest managers we ever had Keith Wright on the end of a defeat from Hearts - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I love watching the old stuff. It's not Hearts, and apologies for the wild tangent, but I was watching after reading about it in The Guardian this morning. One thing that really stands out is just how comically bad the standard of play is. This is European competition and it's seriously no better than a Third Division game. Don't get me wrong, I love the old timey stuff and the game was completely different back then but today's teams would put at least 20 goals past these guys.

I go back a lot longer than this game, but that was the thing that struck me. Generally basic technique looked poor by today's standards. Interesting to see a classic Zaliukas-like bomb-scare moment from Dave McPherson early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't raining, standing in the open air was pleasant enough. Also lots liked watching from the end we were shooting into - pre-segregation fans would migrate en-masse to the other end at HT. Even once the Gorgie end was closed off, people would move from the school end to nearer where they hoped the action would be if we were attacking the Gorgie end.
