As in, the first person to mention the nonsense was a Hearts poster, just a few posts into the thread. Sort of goes against the idea we are somehow glorifying the result, while it lends credence to the idea that some Hearts fans are absolutely fixated about it.

Empty It Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I've never really recovered from 1996. Hearts lost two cup finals and Scotland lost to England at the Euros. Being upset about things that happened when I was a toddler (as I'd imagine is roughly the case with 86 for most on this thread) is beyond me though. It carries no memory, no relevance, no benefit to me experientially if we'd won it.Nonsense, I wasn't born for another 9 years and I'm still seething about 86. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about that makes me sharply inhale breath, and I don't even have an opinion on St Mirren. Ouch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is your choice. No more relevant to me than '65. Airdrie are a bigger deal to me. Those semi-finals were horrendous experiences for a young Hearts supporter. Glad they're fucked these days. In terms of league titles, we gave up on '98 too early and let that get away from us. Those are the big regrets for me.

Ouch. Indeed. Worst experience of my St Mirren supporting life, and I include Hammarby, three losing 1980s cup semis, the bib and kiddie’s pirate costume home shirts, Fergie leaving us for Aberdeen, Alan Stubbs & Darren Jackson, Djemba Djemba bunnets, the Celtic Shop, and historical long standing infrastructure issues in that. Mind you, I’ve seen us win the Scottish Cup, League Cup, a few Division 1 titles, play in Europe, and finish third in the league once upon a time, so, you know, we move on.

In Edinburgh I was definitely on the green side, but then a lot of that was you lot wrapping yourselves in Union Jacks and parading pictures of the Queen in some attempt to goad the opposition, when in reality it was just full on cringe. I've never seen a picture of the Queen at Tynecastle. Paraded or otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team carrying pictures of her round the pitch before each game. Perhaps warming up in t-shirts bearing her coupon. Or people marching to the turnstyles from the TA or the Diggers holding aloft images of Betty II. Or maybe it's all nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not officially you understand,but the pictures were doing the rounds a few years back, could have been Prince Harry and something to do with his wedding or some shit.

I'd never do it myself, but what's the matter with someone taking their national flag to a game, or writing the name of their supporters' club on one? It's a baffling thing to hold against someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 3 hours ago, Bobby_F said: Neilson saying Saints tactics of roughing up GMS ‘unacceptable’. I watched the whole game yesterday and don’t remember anything that looked remotely like that. Even the time he was down for ages it looked like a nothing tackle? Don’t remember seeing any Hearts fans complaining about the treatment he was getting during the game either? He was left in a crumpled heap about 3 minutes in when someone led with an arm, it was a poor challenge. Few other quote hefty ones on him, but nowt to greet about IMO as it's what you get in this league and he knows it. The first one was poor though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Personally, I don’t think anyone handed out rough treatment to anyone else. Haring, Halliday, Power & Tait put themselves about a bit, but FFS, there was nothing for Neilson to moan about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Commerative mugs for Wills marrying a commoner were a sad sight, no doubt, but I'll be damned if I've ever seen pics of Elizabeth II being paraded around Tynecastle. Perhaps Ric is getting confused with adulation for Ann Budge, aka Queen of Hearts and saviour of the SPFL. An easy mistake given we're the establishment club these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
