Sadly not. What a fantastic achievement that would be, and one that I seriously doubt any non-OF SPFL club would manage nowadays without massive investment. Football has changed a lot in recent decades, and unless we find a way of catching up, then there is not much chance of any of us seeing such glory days again. Quarter finals of the UEFA Cup is the best I can lay claim to, no groups then of course. Edited March 1, 2022 by Kyle Reese 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 That certainly would be an amazing achievement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a ‘song’ about the bombing of the Brighton hotel I think that have heard on a bus to a game which is very similar so I’m thinking it was more likely to be that but tbh have never heard it being sung in a crowd at the football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly a lot has changed since then, and I couldn't see it being repeated about fifteen years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Conference probably makes it slightly more of a possibility again these days - and provided one of the top three win the Scottish Cup, Hearts are already a shoey-in to be in the group stages of that next season (assuming you don't win the Europa League play-off match). For all our glory days, which I have learned from reading from Hearts fans here was just some massive strange fluke, the dandies in 07/08 remain the only Scots side (bigot brothers apart) to actually get through a European group. Other clubs would want a star for that ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other clubs would want a star for that ! I don't know, maybe. Hearts have been a bit unlucky with the play-offs and final qualifying matches for European competition prior to our administration, and the one occasion since then we were simply crap. Most recently before our awful exit under Robbie last time, we were drawn against Liverpool and Spurs, before that Dinamo Zagreb. The key thing for whomever gets the third/Scottish Cup place this season, is the safety net of the conference. Even then though, they will be up against it in the group I suspect. Best chance is to take the money and use it to build again and hopefully get the same again the season after. Build year on year in a sustainable way, and eventually the cash will start to make a difference to the sort of players that club can attract.

I do hear there is some talk of the Tennent 6 sixes making a comeback, that may well quell the seethe from some supporters of the 32 times Roseberry Charity Cup winners looking to add to their honours list.
