Deek Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I said to Doug and Keith, "See you in the centre circle at the end". I never did. My transistor kept giving the score from Love Street, then that wee **** Kidd scored. I never cried, I never have. But I was heart broken. We stood at the end of the game, dumbfounded, we drove back to Edinburgh and not a word was spoken until we got home. Doug said, "who was playing for St Mirren, Fitzpatrick and McGarvey" The post mortem started then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I watched it last time round, yes it's very painful to watch, but we should all be proud of the way Doddie and lads took the league by storm that year and so many good memories, especially 3-0 at Tannadice. But i defy any Jambo not too get choked by wee Doddie at the end:sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remain Nameless Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Despite the criticism he has taken in the past, standing on the pitch long after the final whistle had gone, one Wallace Mercer emerged from the tunnel told us we were the greatest fans in the world, said he would see us at Hampden next week grabbed a scarf from the nearest fan and held it above his head. How many chairmen now would even consider doing that? He was cheered, we sang his name, I didn't cry but it was a fecking awful journey home, one of the worst days of my life, but I'll watch it again, repeating the pain sums up supporting this club!

And we did similar in 64/65 and then got the rules changed so that it was goal difference and not goal average. Of course, we would have won in 64/65 on goal difference and in 85/86 on goal average.

Debut 4 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I was 12 at the time. I remember not being allowed to go to the game for some reason but my two Big Brothers went. I was out having a kick- about with friends during the game. I remember it slowly becoming overcast, maybe a sign? Anyway, i headed home knowing it was near full time. I sneaked into my house because my Mum always had a habit of running down the hall to tell me the score, i wanted to find out myself on the radio in my room. I put on the radio and all i heard was "Kidd has scored again!" I`d never heard of Albert Kidd, only Walter. I really thought Zico had scored and i waited with anticipation at the commentator giving the score......... Then 3 hours later my Dad came down to my room, in which i`d camped myself in with grief, and tried to tempt me out to have some tea while being quite red eyed himself..........

knoxyjambo Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Was only 4 at the time so dont have any real time recollection, have seen the programme before and heard the stories from my dad and uncles as well as many others, soul destroying stuff. Might sound harsh but I'll raise a glass the day that **** Kidd passes. Doddie's interview on that programe would bring a tear to a glass eye. I've got a mate who wont even talk about that day, not sure how I'd handle it, guys who were there and still go are what following hearts is all about, a credit to the club. We'll get ours one day, thats what keeps me going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 85/86 was a fantastic time to be a Hearts fan. But the ending, as Towzer said was "the worst day of my life".

Cobblers Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 From October to the last 180 minutes the best ever season to be a Hearts Supporter. How bloody typical that for almost all that period there was no television coverage of the season. Thats the biggest problem with this programme, most of our best performances aren't on it. 1-0 win at Darkhied 2-0 win at Hunbrox (should have been 6) with the biggest Hearts support I've ever seen there. Beating the huns 4 times. Unbeaten against the tims. 1-0 win at Aberdeen where they hadn't lost for months. 3 wins and a draw against the wee team. I'm almost convinced that the Weegie media knew what we were going to do and deliberately fell our with the SPL so we would never be able to watch it. Or perhaps I'm just paraniod.

I was stunned -walked out in a daze- into the car drove home -realised 6 hours later i had left my clubs lying outside the golf club and had driven home in the golf shoes!! golf was crap as well!!!

jambo121 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I was 15 at the time and went to the game with my Grandad. We could only get tickets for the South Stand as the place was a sell out. We had been unbeaten since September, With 15 minutes to go I jumped down to the terracing just in time to see them score. I was stunned, shocked and then the 2nd went in. I was in tears, I remember the bus journey going back through ****dee and wee tim rages jumpin about all over the place. Got off the bus at Clerry and got ****ed in an attempt to blank it out. That week was a daze, went through to the cup final the next week but I think we knew that it wasn't going to be our day. Some of the memories from that season were awesome, Robbos goal at Dundee Utd, beating der hun 4 times that season, but we should have beaten Aberdeen with 3 games left. The team were amazing, the whole club and fans bonded that season. I might take another sneaky look at the programme on BBC for all the good memories.
