Since Hearts last won the League Cup..

[SirDavidsNapper]

With the farcical League Cup semis a big topic of conversation at the moment it's got me thinking about our pink neighbours long drought in the tournament. What world events have occurred since they last won the competition? I'll start..

Moon landing
England win World Cup
JFK assassinated
The Rolling Stones had their first No 1
Fall of the Berlin wall
Apartheid abolished

Any others?

Sir David scored the greatest header ever in the sweetest last minute victory to end the biggest hoodoo in world football.

As a consequence, we can now lord it over that manky mob and their pitiful league cup record.

Suits me fine.

Whitney Houston, George Michael and Kurt Cobain all came into this world and left it.

So sad none of them will ever see Hearts win the League Cup. Poor Kurt never got to see them win anything in fact..

The day before I was born. Which is a disgrace. It was the height of the Cuban missile crisis and the winners of World War 1 ignored it in favour of winning the "wee cup".

That's not really an 'event' - more like a law of nature.

Not sure what you’re not getting but to clarify....Thread is asking for things that have happened since they last won the league cup. My answer is that, since they last won it, they’ve only managed to reach 2 finals. Pretty gash for a self proclaimed BIG team.

When Hearts last won the league cup, there had been no James Bond films released (Dr No was released later in 1962)


In the interim period, Hearts have once or twice overspent the Moneypennies though

Apart from losing a derby 00-7 and apart from failing to win the LC with Hearts, manager Jim Jefferies did also do an Oddjob at Killie, losing 1-5 to Hibs in the 2007 final, backed up by Gary Goldeneye Locke & Billy Quantum of Solace Brown (a man who has been places and done hings)

Hibs previous win in the tournament, a 2-0 win v Dunfermline in 1991, crowned The Team That Never Died, though until the penalty sealed matters we nearly grabbed defeat from the Jaws of victory

Hibs of course also beat Celtic 2-1 to win the league cup in the seventies as well, around the time Live & Let Die was in picture houses; a movie where Bond famously destroys a poppy crop, in a clear artistic reference towards the Vlad and Rodney Romanov show that would visit Tynecastle in the years to come.

Hearts have had many comedy moments in the competition, even losing to Airdrie's "Diamonds are Forever" team of 2008, on pens, at Tynecastle, even though Airdrie were down to 10 men: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_cups/7581433.stm

A personal favourite was Ian Cathro, being forced to watch his team take a penalty shootout after a draw against Dunfermline, even though Hearts had already been eliminated...the first recorded penalty shootout in a competitive fixture where nothing was at stake. Hearts lost.

I enjoyed my 41st birthday yesterday sitting on my sofa chuckling at them failing to win it again.

[Austinho]

For all the bleating they like to do about being more successful, only teenagers or those over the age of 56 have actually witnessed them lift more trophies. Anyone else has only even known Hibs winning more silverware in their lifetime, or equal.

Not to hijack the thread but Luciano is a very interesting character,I've read alot of stuff about the Mafia over the years always find it very interesting despite being well aware that most of them are complete ****bags.

To add to the thread I wasn't born when Hearts last won the league cup 😃
