Daz1874 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Sorry, pissed aswell but this seems like the appopriate thread to post... I was in Portugal.. Cannae mind the year (90's)and we were playing Celtic in the cup. Anyway it went into extra time( or the very last mins of normal time) and my dad turns to me ( with the bar being loaded with the celts) dont worry.. wee robbo will do it .. sure enough some mins later he hammered in what proved to be the winner and get us through, would love it if anyone has this uploaded... one of my favourite times being a Jambo abroad.

Groot Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Daz, League Cup 1/4 final at Tynie in 96 the game where Andy Thorne played and Gary Naismith was a stand out in only his 2nd or 3rd game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrative Arc Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 No words, no poetry, no retrospective visuals can relate how much this little man made us felt at time. So if you were born later, it is just unfortunate. No nose rubbing intended etc. Sorry friend, them's just the breaks. Trust me, when it came to playing that lot his name was 'Mr Formality' ( ps pished as well). ps my favourite robbo goal against them was at Empty Road. Goram hand a bandage on one of his hands. they has been leading 1-0, (i can't remember who equalised), then The man himself hit a freekick from about 20 yards ( to use hobo terms... down the slope). Goram (the so called goalie), got nowhere near it. And as already stated.... formality 1-2 . the nights out i have had because of that little man, will never be forgotten. god bless all his descendants. ( and the bevvy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorne played against Motherwell on the Saturday but didn't perform to well so we parted ways Robbo's goal was a sweety, ball over the top to Neil McCann in the left channel in behind the Celtic defence he cuts it across the edge of the 18 yard box, Robbo had got there a fraction too early so had to check himself and let the ball bobble across him before hitting a half volley which flew past (just over his hands iirc) a full stretch Gordon Marshall It was a difficult ball to hit first time but the wee man made it look so easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Thorne played against Motherwell on the Saturday but didn't perform to well so we parted ways I think I remember it was the case that Jim Farry had complained that Hearts had maybe overcome the system unfairly specifically for the League Cup tie against Celtic. Remember we had 4 players suspended after the nonsense at Ibrox on the Saturday. To head Farry off at the pass, Hearts played Andy Thorn again on the Saturday, before wishing him all the best and thanking him. This was to show that we had been serious about the possibility of signing him permanently in the first place, when we clearly hadn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts Heritage Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Sums it up brilliantly! I was a day out, memory must be fading, I was only 15 at the time though! After 15 years of watching us get 'horsed' in Derbies You got the feeling that something had changed. 4 months later I moved down south so missed most of them.

Diego10 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 it's a sad fact of life that we will never have a player that good for that long again. It's never quite been the same for me since he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasavallan Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 That match report is prescient read paragraph 6. Stuart Gauld at RB? I assume he was playing due to Kidd's unavailability. I do not recall Gauld having too many games after this. As for Robbo, my 7 year old son is named after him. I saw Robbo's first game, I saw his last and many twixt and between. I doubt I will ever see anyone in a maroon jersey whom I admired so much as the wee striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 it's a sad fact of life that we will never have a player that good for that long again. It's never quite been the same for me since he left. And we only had him for that long because his stint with Newcastle failed . There's an alternate universe where we view Robbo like Willie Wallace and say how many would He have scored had he stayed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
