I'm sure one of the Twitter "limbs" accounts gave it limbs of the decade, or something along those lines.

How no-one died in that rammy is beyond me. Fucking unreal.

Probably said it before on here but I went flying about ten rows down because of the surge behind us. Skelped my head and had cuts and bruises on both legs Monty Ooh

Was pished/carried away with the atmosphere so didn’t feel a thing until the morning Warnock

I was there for 1998, and the 2006 semi and final so that's probably the top three right there but rather than make this thread a collection of cup finals and European ties, I'll base mine on the enjoyment of the experience.

Season 2010/11 had some brilliant games. JJ's second spell and that red-hot form of winter 2010-11, shame it fell away in the last few weeks but it was great fun while it lasted. That was to be my last season ticket, probably ever, in lower G. Three games stand out from that season for me:

Hearts 2-0 Celtic, Nov. 2010

Tynecastle under floodlights, gubbing Celtic, berating Timothy for 90 minutes, what a night  GodIsGod

Hearts 1-0 Hibs, Jan. 2011

The Kyle header. No more needs to be said.  VanGaals Bitch

Hearts 1-0 Rangers, Jan. 2011

Kello had the game of his life and then up popped Stevenson towards the end. The scenes. GodIsGod

Three league games as all the obvious ones have been mentioned. 

Rangers 0 Hearts 3 (Magic hattrick)
Celtic 2 Hearts 3 (we were 2-0 down)
Hearts 1 Celtic 1 (Jose's injury  time equaliser)

Hibs 1-2 Hearts Scottish Cup - the Foster game

My first ever derby, from the pub sing song beforehand and the chaotic scenes after the goal (must’ve ended up about 30 yards from my old boy and fuck knows where Benoit ended up)

Liverpool 1-1 Hearts 

My one and only European trip, a great day absolutely pished during the day bumping into my dads friends (the ones that told me all the swear words I know!) then the bounce at the goal, some cunt landed on my from 10 rows back (Khali?) and then afterwards the surreal moments of just staring at the score board not believing it was true!


Hearts 2-1 Rangers 

1998 Cup Final - I was 18 at the time and already experienced two recent cup final defeat against Rangers plus my first big cup game was the 1988 semi final  Monty Ooh I knew how much it meant to me but it was more special because what it meant for my dad (when Robbo equalised in the League Cup final I still remember my dad saying “this is it, this is it”!)

I actually can hardly remember anything about the game itself except that I couldn’t watch the penalty, based on the angle we were at I though Goram had knocked Adam’s shot wide until it nestled in the net, how the fuck Flogel didn’t bury that header and the delight when I realised it was a free kick and not a penalty for Rangers.

I’m a similar age to a few folk on here, so my games have already all been picked out, but fuck it, here goes anyways.

Hibs 1 - 2 Hearts
Scottish Cup - Wayne Foster makes it 21 in a row. GodIsGod

This was my second or third trip to Easter Road, but definitely one of my most favourite. It was my first time at Easter Road without my old man in tow and I was let loose on my own, traveling through on the Glasgow Hearts bus.

Like Groot, I remember being in the pub beforehand belting out songs and then piling onto the terraces and seeing the scaffolding holding up the BBC studio and wondering if I could scale it. Laugh

Thought better of it and got a good spot about midway up the terracing near some guys I knew from the bus, although after Robbo scored the first, I was nowhere near them. So I snaked my way up to where all the singing was coming from and tried to look cool by joining in, although my loud voice and weegie accent meant I stuck out a mile.

When Foster scored the second, it was utter carnage and I was tossed around like an empty tracksuit. Warnock

Will never forget seeing the guy climbing up the scaffolding with the giant silver 21 key!! jjay

Hearts 1 - Bayern Munich 0
UEFA Cup Quarter Final

I remember traveling through to Tynecastle and queuing up outside in the rain on a Sunday morning to get tickets for this game, I’m sure my old man was working, so my bluenose uncle took me through. I remember Mr Mercer arriving in his Maroon Jag and then the players coming out and speaking to the fans.

Think they’d been hauled in for training or something like that?

We got to the front of the queue and my uncle got us tickets for the terracing instead of my usual seat in the family enclosure. jjay

It was my first time on the terracing at Tynecastle, and was far and away the best time on there. The noise from The Shed, the whole moving without your feet touching the ground, the sway and the atmosphere just made it electric.

I wasn’t bold enough to head into The Shed so stood behind the goal near the front, couldn’t really see anything up the other end of the pitch as I was so low down, but I got a cracking view of the ball hitting the back of the net when Ferguson let rip.

If only we’d made it through, id have got to see El Diego in the flesh. Sob

Hearts 2-1 Rangers 
Scottish Cup Final - 1998

I managed to get my then 11 year old brother a ticket for this on the morning of the game.

We were in the Rutherglen Glencairn Social Club pre-match, and I remember being half cut heading into Parkhead. I was terrified yet confident at the same time about the game, as I’d only ever saw us lose these type of games. Fuck, my second ever match was the 1986 cup final, and I’d already witnessed us get beat in the 1996 cup final and in the league cup final against Rangers where I genuinely thought we had it won when it went to 2-2.

I remember the place going mental when Cameron tucked away the penalty, after we all calmed down and I caught my breath, an old boy behind me said “we only need to hold out for another 89 minutes now.”

I didn’t know whether to laugh or panic. Laugh

We were right in line for Adam tucking away the second, and it was only then that I started to believe that we’d done it. Although I had my head in my hands when I thought Willie Young had gave them a penalty towards the end, but it all worked out right. jjay

After the game was a bit of a blur, I remember phoning my old dear from a phone box on the Gallowgate and telling her I was taking my brother to Edinburgh with me to see the cup come home.

We did just that and got the last train back to Glasgow that night from Haymarket before getting the night bus home again, singing Hearts songs the whole way.

My old dear says to this day that she's amazed that I got us both home in one piece given the nick I was in when I finally got home.

Honestly, one of the best days to be a Hearts supporter ever.

All my real ones have been mentioned, so I'll post a few alternatives I really enjoyed:

Hearts 1-0 Aberdeen (2006): the game that secured Champions League qualification, something none of us ever thought we'd see Hearts achieve. The celebrations after Hartley's penalty went in were amazing, and as far as I can recall the only time I can remember being at a game and singing the Hearts song in its entirety, verses included. Think by this stage we all knew within ourselves that there'd be problems around the corner at some stage, but just to see Hearts qualify for the Champions League was surreal stuff.

Celtic 0-2 Hearts (2005): we went through a stage in the mid-late 2000s of going into games against the Old Firm with genuine hopes of winning, which I think has led people to forget just how wide the gap was in the late nineties and early noughties. You didn't just go to Celtic Park expecting to lose, you went expecting to lose by 3 or 4, even when we were on good form. Going into this game our form was average (don't actually think we won another game after it) and we hadn't won there in five years. No-one expected anything, and yet we went there and dominated with goals from Lee Miller and Mark Burchill. One or two other things happened that day too which made a win at Celtic Park even sweeter. Monty Oh You

Hearts 2-1 Celtic (2006): I remember going into the 2006/7 season feeling we hadn't strengthened enough, and would struggle to replicate 2005/6. Hard to say if that was right, as the reasons why our ridiculously good squad somehow failed to qualify for Europe had little to do with what was happening on the park. This game, which was our first home game of the season, gave us all the belief that maybe we could compete after all. Bednar was on fire for that first few games, and beating Celtic with two goals from him had us all believing again. Lennon's backpass, and that picture of him in front of the Hearts fans, made the day even more memorable.

That Bednar/Lennon game was fucking sensational. The absolute scenes at the winner.

I lost my wallet in the mayhem. It was worth it.
