53 years. Well I never
It must be the longest cup drought outstanding amongst the top clubs. Shocking

Ggtth

[erin go bragh]

Over half a century of failure . But they say their the big team 🏆🏆. Well, I've seen Hibs win both cups .

[21.05.2016]

Oh sorry, has nobody told you? Hearts are the "big team" you see, the league cup is far too little and insignificant for the footballing goliath that is heart of midlothian. They deliberately get themselves knocked out of this competition every year in order to give all us "wee teams" a fair chance. Occasionally they will keep us on our toes by reaching the final (they want the "wee teams to feel special and have the satisfaction of beating a such a mighty "big team" in the final you see).


Now I really think we should all admire them for this wonderful act of charity :applause:

Yes they're not bothered about the league cup.
They even have a song about it and they seem pretty much like they mean it. How does it start again?
Big team big cup or something?

[NAE NOOKIE]

That's some losing streak ..... 62 was the last time they won it ... 62 eh? hard to believe. Still there are plenty of Hearts fans around who at least can remember 62.

C'mon captain Caveman win it for the big club and make yourself a legend :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Been alive to see my team win both major cup competitions. No Hearts fan my age can say the same.

Pleasing.

[Gettin' Auld]

Do those ****in bams still refer to themselves as 'the famous'?

No one outwith Scotland has even heard of them and most people in Scotland couldn't give a **** about them, so what do they reckon they're famous for?

Shafting hector?

Employing Paedophiles?

Playing in a stadium that's crumbling around them? (even the recent stands)

Playing in an area thats literally honking, in more ways than one?

Apart from claiming a link to McCrae's Battalion, which many other clubs had too but don't feel the desperate need to try and claim it as their own, i'm ****ed if i can figure out what those puddle drinkers reckon they're famous for?

very interesting. did not know that about Stroma. maximum inhabitants of 375 was actually in 1901. a year later it started the decline. must have been something to do with our poor Scottish cup results..never mind, the fact that hmofc had not won the league cup in the year after the island was evacuated probably had a bearing on things. the inhabitants must have thought, ...my god if a big team cannae win a wee cup, what chance of we got, no gaun back there!

If we win the LC in November or at least make the final would it be the first time a club had made 3 LC / SC finals in a calendar year ? I know we lost to Celtic in delayed ( cause of fire I think ) LC final in spring 1968 but Dunfermline beat Hearts in SC final that year so no club can have played 3 finals that year . Later they changed LC final to March .

Hearts have won four League Cups and we've won three so can we find something else to crow about please?

You've not won the League Cup
For 54 years.

My dad still calls it a half loaf. But he's a Brechin City supporter so completely irrelevant to the thread.

Remember being told that it's a Mickey Mouse cup in 07, but then seeing them Jambos being completely pissed off after the St Mirren final.

The last time Hearts won the League Cup, the queen had only been on the throne for 10 years and her Silver Jubilee celebrations were still 15 years away from being held (she has now been queen for 64 years!).

Monster Mash by Bobby 'Boris' Pickett & The Crypt Kickers was number 1 in the USA.

Funny thing us theyll no want to win the league cup anytime soon.With their big team big cup chant it'd actually be hilarious if they won it.

Less than 10 years.

The month of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The world could easily have ended before they won it; and probably will have, before they win it again.

Pretty much sums up their arrogance and utter delusion tbh. They really do believe they are some big mighty special club. Laughable.

To be fair, they do indeed enjoy a link to the Macraes Battalion Trust that no other football club can lay claim to.

In fact I postitively look forward to that day.

None of our last League Cup winning team had even been born, nor had our then manager.

Neither had any of our League Cup winning team from 1991, except for John Burridge, Murdo MacLeod and Neil Orr.

That's actually incredible, we have won 3 cups in the last 25 years and only three players involved in those squads were alive the last time Hearts won the League Cup!

[monktonharp]

I find this thing all a bit cringey.

So what, let them worry about stupid stuff like this.you can find it as cringey as you want, but I for one wont. give thenm it tight. we are doing a little bit of payback to a club that has more than once tried to eliminate us. Fact. we are slagging a club that took pleasure in doing the same to us for dozens of years. Fact. we are pointing out the Facts, and history will not be denied. I am also greatly heartened with the previous poster's Facts being illustrated again, lest we forget exactly what their club did in the not too distant past, and the amounts of money they owed and never paid . the serious Fact is that the large deficits, will mainly owed to public bodies, which you and I actually pay for.Fact. so cringeworthy is it, really?:rolleyes:

Utterly cringeworthy how they refer to themselves as that. Balloons.

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

you can find it as cringey as you want, but I for one wont. give thenm it tight. we are doing a little bit of payback to a club that has more than once tried to eliminate us. Fact. we are slagging a club that took pleasure in doing the same to us for dozens of years. Fact. we are pointing out the Facts, and history will not be denied. I am also greatly heartened with the previous poster's Facts being illustrated again, lest we forget exactly what their club did in the not too distant past, and the amounts of money they owed and never paid . the serious Fact is that the large deficits, will mainly owed to public bodies, which you and I actually pay for.Fact. so cringeworthy is it, really?:rolleyes:

Dont get me wrong mate, im all up fpr slagging them. I just think this is a pish thing to slag them about. Its too manufactured, amd were trying too hard to give them back what they gave us about the scottish cup.

This is a team of nonces, whi ripped off their own charities to steal money. Their lack of recent success in the league cup (although i beliebe they have still won ot more times than us) is the least of their misdemeanours.

Just my opinion

How can Heriot Watt still let them use their facilities after being shafted for over £145k ?

Ah but that wasn't Hearts' fault,it was Mad Vlad... and they owed it to themselves, or something.


Anyway, you're just a bitter Hobo, 5-1, 1902.................. ehhhhhmmmm.

[Keith_M]

Oh and the last time Hearts won the League Cup, they couldn't show the game on BBC2...


...cos BBC2 didn't start broadcasting until two years later.

It's the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landings this week, that happened 7 years after Hearts last won the league cup.

They've not won the wee cup since we went to the moon

[allezsauzee]

There is a simple explanation for this. They don't want to win it. It's beneath them. Only the Scottish Cup and the Champions League qualifying rounds are good enough once you are as huge as the Yam fuds

[Springbank]

Always a feather in hibs cap that we told them so, and consequently we were nowhere near that list.
Hearts. Never ever to be trusted.

It's over 1.7 billion seconds :)

(1.25p and 7.5p, youngsters.)

Boys Gate? Thought everybody just got a lift over

No he's not!

Nicola Sturgeon was -8. Teresa May was about to start primary school and David Cameron and Boris Johnston hadn't been born.

In the same year Marvel Comics introduced a new, exciting character to the world....Spiderman.

Incidentally that year also saw Algeria gain independence from France and Jamaica from Britain.

Also the first flavoured crisps (salt and vinegar) were sold in the US.

On that day the world almost went to war.



At 11:19 am Washington time, USAF Major Rudolf Anderson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Anderson) became the only fatality of the Cuban Missile Crisis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis) when his U-2 airplane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile while he was flying over Cuba. Soviet Army Major Ivan Gerchenov had been ordered to fire missiles, from a station near the city of Banes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banes,_Cuba), at "Target Number 33".[75] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1962#cite_note-75) The U.S. Joint Chiefs recommended to President John F. Kennedy that the US should attack Cuba within 36 hours to destroy the Soviet missiles. At Washington, General Taylor recommended an air attack on the Banes site, but immediate action was not taken.[76] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1962#cite_note-76)[77] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1962#cite_note-77)
Hours later, the Soviet submarine B-59 was detected by U.S. Navy destroyers in the Atlantic Ocean, and one of the ships began dropping explosive depth charges (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_charges) to force the sub to surface. Thirty years later, a communications intelligence officer on the B-59, would report that the Captain Valentin Savitsky ordered a nuclear-armed torpedo to be armed for firing at the U.S. ships, and that the second-in-command,Vasili Arkhipov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov), persuaded Savitsky to surface instead.[78] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1962#cite_note-78)

[PatHead]

The next day

At 5:00 pm Moscow time (10:00 am in Washington), Moscow Radio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Radio) broadcast the text of the message from Soviet Prime Minister Nikita Khrushchev (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Khrushchev) to U.S. President John F. Kennedy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy). "Dear Mr. President," Khrushchev's letter began, "I have received your message of October 27. I express my satisfaction and thank you for the sense of proportion you have displayed and for realization of the responsibility which now devolves on you for the preservation of the peace of the world." Khrushchev went on to say, "I regard with great understanding your concern and the concern of the United States people in connection with the fact that the weapons you describe as offensive are formidable weapons indeed. Both you and we understand what kind of weapons these are. In order to eliminate as rapidly as possible the conflict which endangers the cause of peace, to give an assurance to all people who crave peace, and to reassure the American people, who, I am certain, also want peace, as do the people of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Government, in addition to earlier instructions on the discontinuation of further work on weapons construction sites, has given a new order to dismantle the arms which you described as offensive, and to crate and return them to the Soviet Union."[79] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1962#cite_note-79) In an agreement worked out by Khrushchev and Kennedy with the assistance of U.N. Secretary-General U Thant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_Thant), the U.S. pledged not to invade Cuba, and to remove Jupiter missiles that had been placed in Turkey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey) near its border with the U.S.S.R.[80] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_1962#cite_note-80)

So the world never went to war

So the world never went to warour current foreign office incumbent might have a different slant on that:wink: but, getting back to basics, the gorgie mob do still feel that the Scottish League Cup is so far beneath them, from any conversations Ive had with them. just keep it that way. 1962, is a long time, with the speed of changes we see nowadays.who'd have thought last year, that Hibernian would actually win a Scottish Cup:greengrin
