On The Terracing: Heart of Midlothian 2 Hibernian 1
http://ontheterracing.blogspot.com/2014/08/heart-of-midlothian-2-hibernian-1.html
Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Sunday, 17 August 2014. Heart of Midlothian 2 Hibernian 1. SPFL Championship, Sunday 17 August 2014 – Tynecastle. History was made at Tynecastle this afternoon. Given the amount of times there is an Edinburgh derby these days you may question that statement. However, this afternoon saw the first ever Hearts-Hibs fixture to be played in the second flight of Scottish league football. There were few highlights of that opening 45 minutes. Michael ...

Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Sunday, 15 September 2013. Heart of Midlothian 1 Celtic 3. SPFL Saturday 14 September 2013 - Tynecastle Stadium. This is not to say Hearts were sitting back and Gary Locke’s side looked dangerous on the counter-attack. The impressive Kevin McHattie, restored to the Hearts team following his suspension from the team that lost in Inverness before the international break, almost caught out Celtic keeper Forster with a close range effort....Hearts ...

Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Sunday, 28 July 2013. Heart of Midlothian 5 (five) Hibernian 1 - Bank of Scotland SPL. Sunday 11 August 2002 - Tynecastle. The game began rather like the weather conditions of the day - with Hearts flooding the Hibernian half. One of Hearts new signings, French winger Jean Louis Valois, was clearly in the mood and took little time to display his obvious skill. Brockville when it was demolished to make way for a supermarket a few years later (okay,...

Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Sunday, 30 March 2014. Heart of Midlothian 2 Hibernian 0. SPFL, Sunday 30 March 2014 – Tynecastle. The fourth Edinburgh derby of the season had been billed, particularly from those from the east of the city, as the game which would finally seal Hearts fate and consign the Gorgie boys to their fate of Championship football next season. A rare win for Hibernian at Tynecastle would mean Hearts would be unable to catch 11. Afterwards, jubilant Hearts ...

Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Wednesday, 16 July 2014. Dark Side of the Beautiful Game is Nothing New. The 2014 World Cup in Brazil was a splendid tournament.

Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Monday, 30 December 2013. 1230 Arrive at The Station Tavern, Gorgie Road. Barmaid sees me arrive and instantly begins to pour a pint of foaming ale. 1330 Three pints in and already there’s the first reference to how no one can lace Rab Prentice’s boots. Leave the pub in a much more expectant mood than two hours previously. Game kicks off with the last strains of Hector Nicol fading away. Half-time arrives – it’s generally agreed that f...Several h...

Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Saturday, 26 July 2014. Heart of Midlothian 3 Annan Athletic 1. Petrofac Training Cup 1. Round, Saturday 26 July 2014 – Tynecastle. That Hearts are in this competition is directly because they are no longer in the top flight of Scottish football. Thus, they faced Annan Athletic for the first time and the outcome of the game was never seriously in doubt. After 20 minutes the home side were 2-0 ahead. Dale Carrick flicked a pass towards Osman So...

On The Terracing: Heart of Midlothian 1 Manchester City 2
http://ontheterracing.blogspot.com/2014/07/heart-of-midlothian-1-manchester-city-2.html
Looking at the past - and present - of Scottish football. Friday, 18 July 2014. Heart of Midlothian 1 Manchester City 2. Pre-season friendly - Friday 18 July 2014 - Tynecastle. Hearts had Neil Alexander, Alim Ozturk, Morgaro Gomis, Prince Buaben and Osman Sow making their home debuts and all five players impressed, particularly Gomis who orchestrated things in midfield. Hearts began the game in sprightly fashion with young Sam Nicholson looking particularly impressive. Sadly, the young winger had to ...
