Sydney Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I missed the 4-4 vs Hibs because I was overseas working. I missed the 5-3 vs Killie back in 98 because I was playing football in Dundee I missed the 2-1 vs Atletico Madrid because I was on holiday I missed the 4-2 vs Rangers in Cup in 95 because I was overseas working as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 1-0 Aberdeen to qualify for the CL. I was in hospital and listened on the radio.

Fort Vallance Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 The Mark De Vries 5-1 Game. On a flight to Gran Canaria. I know, going on holiday during the season I deserve absolutely no sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Lokomotiv Leipzig, 4-4 and MDV's 5-1, Aberdeen CL clincher. All due to work. What's worse I didn't find out the Aberdeen game was the 5 Live commentary game until after the game, so I couldn't even listen to it. Correction, remember now the MDV game was holiday. I didn't know the result until opening L'Equipe in a shop in Narbonne the next morning , and proceeded to dance down the street back to the flat we were staying in. Also remember phoning home from a telephone kiosk after the Leipzig game and not being sure it wasn't a wind up when told the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Having only missed 2 homes games in the last 38 years the one I would like to have seen was the 1-0 LC quarter final v sellik (Robbo in extra time) I was on my way to the game when I got a call from the hospital to tell me my mother had taken a turn for the worse. I got there just in time as she never made it through the night, so I have more than one reason to want to turn the clock back and change events that night (but not the result) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currahee! Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I missed the 4-4 game because I was on call. I was listening to it on the radio and when they went 4-2 up I went upstairs to play the playstation. I didn't know it ended 4-4 until about 9ish. I also missed the semi in 2006 because my selfish mate was getting married. Why get married on a Sunday anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Not at Tynecastle, not even a full game, but the first-half and interval of the 0-3 victory at Easter Road in 1990. Was studying in America at the time and the long-distance calls on a crackling line with inebriated friends that night made me sense that I'd missed something truly momentous. It sounded like the mother of all derbies and when the newspapers duly arrived, a fortnight or more later, they made fascinating reading; I devoured every sentence read them over and over again, repeating each line to myself like a mantra. I've subsequently watched the video footage repeatedly, and by the time I shuffle off I'll probably have convinced myself that I was there, but oh to have actually been on the Dunbar Road end that afternoon.

Geeky Boy Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 1-0 Aberdeen to qualify for the CL. I was in hospital and listened on the radio. It sounded like the place was rocking - something that gets confirmed time and again on here. Got stabbed in the back that night by a guy who said he would swap days off and "CHANGED HIS MIND" the day before. So when the winning goal went in I was driving a No3 bus to Gorebridge. I have never spoken to the Sh*tb*g since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 2/4/2006 Ok not at Tynecastle, but I missed the 4 nil drubbing of Hibs at Hampden due to being on a group trip to New York. We were going via Heathrow on the day of the match and asked the stewardess if we could "try" and use a radio to listen to the 2nd half (we'd managed to catch the 1st half on the radio in Edinburgh's departure lounge). She said, yep you can use a raido, but you might not be able to get anything. Found a very very poor feed of 810 MW (BBC Sportsound) to hear Jankauskas hit in the 3rd. Landed and we received numerous texts ("4 nil Hearts" "Hibs 2 red cards etc")...Still gutted I missed it, even if it was New York I was going to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Where do I start, I seem to miss the biggest and best matches. Missed both 98 and 06 cup final, the Hibs semi, the 5-1 game (though stayed to the end of the 4-4 game later that season) the 7-1 Dunfermline game when I was on a family holiday in Northern Ireland, watching Glentoran beat Ballymena 3-0. Missed most of the 05-06 season due to being at Uni in Glasgow. If only I could turn back time, I would change this Please Hearts, can you let me actually see Hearts winning silverware in person in my lifetime.

ScottishSandstorm Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Every single one The fact that I am American kinda makes it hard to attend games but I really wish I could have gone to the Celtic game at Tynie in 2002. We lost that day (0-2?) and from what I remember there was some crowd trouble but it was the only time I've ever been to Scotland (I was 13) and I would have loved to see a match in person. I'll get my chance soon enough though, I'm visiting Edinburgh in May and I hope to see this glorious cathedral named Tynecastle on a match day (that is if we don't get a shitty pot-split fixture list).

Doc Rob Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 No longer live in Edinburgh, so could pick many games, but I'll go for 1-0 Aberdeen for the CL. Largely because my brother was there sending me texts! On the other hand, he was in Canada when we won the Cup in '98, and I was at the Final with a ticket he would have used. So I can't really complain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remnants of Standards Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Missed most of the 97-98 season when away in nz and oz, but back in time for cup final on the hunch Hearts would do it, turning down a six month visa extension to do so. Also missed the 5-1 de vries one, 7-1 dunfermline...and was also most gutted not to get a ticket at the time for tge 1996 cup final v rangers, the 1-5 reverse. Was convinced we were going to do the biz that day, and couldn't get a brief for love or money. Alls well that ends unwell I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Out of the ones I've missed, the 7-1 stands out, but also 2 of the controversial nights. The first was Petric' shocking miss against Stuttgart as I'd moved to France to study; I heard it all my from my brother and dad after the game though. The next again was the Mikogate incident as I'd again moved to France, this time to work, and again, I heard it all from my brother and my dad after the game. They were simply outraged, shocked, disgusted, angry, sickened, not shocked, not surprised all at once. In a way I'm glad I missed those two games, but on the other hand I would have liked to have been there, to know what people talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo4_0matty Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I used to go on holiday with my parents and they always booked the first week in August to go away, the week where some of our best results have occured. Missed the 5-1 De Vries, the first 4-0 of THAT season, the 2-1 Celtic with Lennon's backpass and the Champs League Qualifier with AEK. And the defeat of Advocaats Rangers first game of 98/99. We've had some great results in that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Missed the 7-1 win over Dunfermline because I was Best Man at my mate's wedding. The Mark De Vries 5-1 Game. On a flight to Gran Canaria. I know, going on holiday during the season I deserve absolutely no sympathy. Austin McCann v celtic 2-1. Was on holiday at the time, Im still gutted I missed it. 8-3 against wee team all ofthe above for me all for different reasons. I remember that Dunfermline game I was offered a free ticket as my bro's mate got called away but I was under the sheets with a cute brunette, who convinced me to stay a little longer and you know the rest. So as a result missed the game. At the time i was getting the goals texted to my mobile and the amout that I received used up all my credit. The passengers on the bus home must have thought I was one hell of a popular person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
