Colonel Kurtz Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 great game Got back on the bus ,and heard Hibs had been knocked out of the cup by Airdrie.

Deevers Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Rember it well - 2-0 up after twenty minutes - 4-3 down at half time. A Kenny Garland penalty save and finaly winning 6 - 5 thanks to a Jimmy Irvine cracker. I was hoarse for a week after that match. The pity was that after what was a really great cup run that season we could'nt cap it by winning the cup against Dunfermline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambos are go! Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 What I remember was the Miller penalty given to make it 5-5. It was given for hand ball but the ball was well over the line and I was fuming because of the pressure Miller was under. Trademark daisy cutter gave keeper no chance IIRC.

Memories for anyone. http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/heartofmidlothianfc/Class-match-Dundee-Utd-56.3929814.jp 1st away match. Missed the special and travelled up on the service train which had a lot of rankers fans on it. They were playing Dundee in the Scottish Cup on the same street with kick off times staggered. Still big queues when we got there. Hearts were winning by the time we got in. Think Rene Moller scored? Could not believe we went from 2 up to 4-2 down in the first half. Few controversial decisions if I remember right. Ht 4-2 or 4-3 cant remember but what a fight back by the JT's. Great day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T.F.Robertson Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Rene Mollars second goal was a real gem as I remember! I think he ran all the way from the halfway line, before "slotting it home". Someone mentioned JI's winner as being a "cracker". We were behind that goal and my memory is of him heading it in from almost underneath the crossbar.

I think the other was a header but I'm not sure. Irvine cut in from the right following a throw in and hammered it in from just outside the area I'm sure.

Remember that Rene Moller chant sung to "Kiss her goodbye" or some song like that. These were also dark days with lots of "Party Songs" and union jacks. The Manor Club was rank with it.

I remember there was a lot of talk at the time about bringing Willie Bauld back to Tynecastle to teach him hiow to header a ball. Moller first goal in that game was a run onto a pass from George Miller as I remember and slipping the ball past the keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmaroon Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Some day! Some year!!! Eddie Thomson scoring saved me from getting lifted - about to run onto the pitch after the second of two offside goals for Utd. Back home to my mate's 21st, and he had packed the TV away for the party!! Managed to persuade another mate to nip up the road to his place to watch the highlights! Wife-to-be says she didn't realise I was 'serious' about football!!!??? 40 years later, she still says she didn't realise before we were married!!! Wonder where she thought I disappeared to that night? Surely not??? 28th March got married and interrupted the honeymoon for the semi at Hampden. 1-1 v Morton - Jensen cracker! Interrupted the honeymoon for 2nd time for replay!!! Pity, as said before, we couldn't do it against Dunfermline.

Debtor Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Unusual game that! Moller was something special when he got going, but a bit moody. Not a game to forget but the penalty save, and Garland was good at those, was a winner! I can clearly remember the last goal and Miller having his leg broken accidentally by Arthur Thomson. They just bumped into one another and he broke it. Great game for neutrals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 My mate got back steaming off the bus and charged home to tell his dad about the game His dad was getting on a bit - ex season ticket holder and pretty ill but still mad keen.

Now did Hearts not a couple of years later have a big glossy brochure with wonderful colour photos from that cup game with Dundee United? It may have been a brochure commemerating the Texaco Cup.
