djh83 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Eveyone will have a different moment, but when exactly, for you, was the highest moment Heart Of Midlothian FC reached in the past? Mine was definately Hearts v AEK Athens Murrayfield just after the hour mark. Bednar takes a shot, it rebounds off the post and Miko sticks it in to go 1-0 up in the last qualifying round before the Champoins League proper. That was the moment I thought 'We're actually going to be in the Champions League groups'. This of was of course on the back of winning the Scottish Cup and splitting the OF. The modern day Champions League is the peak and imo out does any League Flags or Cups from yesteryear. That moment was the peak for me. It went rapidly down hill there after of course. Losing the game, the tie, put straight out of UEFA Cup too and then continuing downward to the misery of the 07/08 season and the fax machine. What was the highest moment for you?

SectionG Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The journey up to Dundee, wasn't even thinking about a win, all I could think was "all we need is a draw" And like your highest point we all know what happened, and it went downhill from there. High points always seem to be followed by extremely low points as Hearts fan, but it's all part of the excitement and the reason we keep going back because the high points are always so much fun.

stevie Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Apart from the cup win in 98 or the 4-0 big semi win i would say beating utd 3-0 at Tannadice and thinking the league title was in the bag,massive Hearts support and a blinding display by the famous but a few weeks later it all ended in tears. As a youngster beating Airdrie at Tynecastle to win the 1st division thanks to a Frank Liddle header was also special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 AEK Athens was an experience but defeat, no matter who the opposition is, is always a low point to me. Winning the Cup in '98 was my highlight. Watching Robbo score all his goals against Hibs was always a high, beating them usually is but Robbo's record will likely never be beaten.

JamboAberdeen Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Beating Huns at home in September 2005, winning the first 8 games in row under the new manager, fresh investment, big name signings like Takis and Janny, "firework Phil", new stadium talk, etc. All ended 3 hours before Dunfermline game.

Getintaethem Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 80's Beating Bayern Munich. 90's Scottish cup win. 00's Beating Aberdeen to get a champions league spot. The Scottish cup semi and final in 06 was close and there have been other memorable ones like the 3-0's at Tannidice and Ibrox and many Euro nights, aswell as several great derby victories, but those are my top 3 per decade. The Scottish cup win in 2012 will probably be the one for this decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboman1512 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Has to be the 98 cup final for me, to hear that final whistle after what felt like 2 1/2 hours of extra time was the best feeling i have ever felt, if i could have bottled that feeling up then mass produced it and sold it i would be a very rich man, the feeling after the 2006 final was great but nowhere near compared to that beautiful day in 98.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 For me, 1998 was the highest point. It sounds daft compared to league wins but Miko's goal against Athens is probably the highest peak we've ever touched as a club. I know we were 'World Champions' in 1902 and dominated the late 50s but those were just so long ago now and both limited to a national scale. The CL in the last few years is the biggest club competition ever and we were right in there on the cusp of the groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4marsbars Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The 1998 cup win was my best moment as a Hearts fan, because I am from that generation of fans who just missed out on the great days of the fifties. Anyone who has only seen Hearts post-1983 can have no idea just how bad most of the mid sixties to early eighties were. The highest point, in terms of when the team was strongest, was undoubtedly Burley's reign, and the full houses every week. That's the only time I've thought Hearts were actually invincible. Still not really forgiven Vlad for that. It was almost as if, having given us a taste of how good things could be, like an abusive parent he said "you can't have that!"

Deodato Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 This might sound a bit left field but I am going to go for Hearts 3 - 1 Aberdeen, 25th February 1998 Why? The timing was important. I was studying hard at Glasgow University, took a break to come through on the Glasgow Hearts bus, met my brother Top Cat and watched what I saw was a league winning side. The team, more so. The midfield was simply immense. The ball was always on the deck. The talent was across the team, every shirt. The shape and awareness to the passing play was the best I had ever seen. Colin Cameron, especially. Colin Cameron could of played for any team in the UK that season, he was incredible. Long ball football was becoming a distant memory. (A fit Stevie) Fulton the prime reason for that. I had seen Hearts rise to impressive peaks in the past, but none as complete as this. More importantly, when Aberdeen got the equalizer, I had no doubt whatsoever we were going to get back on top and take the three points. A strange sensation for a club which used to have a excellent fanzine titled 'Always the Bridesmaid But Never The Bride'. No doubt whatsoever we would take the lead and give the fans three points to add to the campaign. Sit back and enjoy it, and check that second goal ...Oooyabastid!
