Your favourite moment (so far!) of the Hearts Banter Years

[Northernhibee]

So, so many to choose from. We may have been relegated, we may have been pumped in a cup final by our city rivals but no team has given such sustained glee and joy to the world as HMFC in these last few years. May we be forever grateful to Budge, Levein, Your Daniel and also Robbie Replay for giving us some cheer in these difficult times.

Just realised - I left out Ian Cathro! How could I manage that?

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Too many crackers to choose from.

Thank god for Hearts, they've fair cheered me up this week.

Can we add the game against St Mirren last season, where some twat from Jambos Kickback predicted a win, then the league being finished early, with St Mirren being demoted as a result?

That went well.

That's covered by 'Obika'.

Oops!

It's a tough choice, but I think I'd have to go for the 2-2 cup game. Particularly as they'd 'ended us as a club' four years before. Then they helped hand us the Holy Grail. You couldn't make it up.

There were a few moments on the Romanov years when everything had gone pure Salvador Dali. There was the magic sticks period, some sort of Eastern European psychic witch doctor character (Ravi? Yani?)

[flash]

Nothing will ever beat Natural Order.

[Hibernian Verse]

Whilst last night is the worst result of the lot, I'm not sure anything will beat Obika and the events that unfolded as they tried to scrape their way to reconstruction.

[WhileTheChief..]

Can we make multiple selection or have an 'all of the above' option please

This is a truly joyous time to be a Hibs fan laughing at them.

They have been getting worse and worse with every minute Budge is at the helm and it will only continue once FOH takes over.

They will soon be an established Championship side.

That’s harsh. More like a classic yo yo club... very decent in the 2nd tier but the top flight often proves too much for them.

Don't forget their training methods, which IIRC were something akin to WW2-era army boot-camp training.

The Natural Order derby was the peak until last night.

one of the best bits about the romanov years was hearing from several jambo mates "we are only due the debt to ourselves"

You could have made the list sooooooooooo much longer!!!

Brilliant thread.

Each one of those listed deserves a thread of its own so to have all these sweet memories together is fantastic.

Natural Order is my fav Hibs related one but the St Mirren game last year was pure gold.

[Since90+2]

I especially liked when they claimed "Hearts privilege" was a thing and the fact they are such a massive club means they wouldn't be relegated.

That worked out well.

[Jones28]

Someone on 1leagueback compared Anne Budge to Rod Petrie; they seem to be forgetting that for some of the failings under RP on the pitch, off it we were in exceptionally healthy shape off it, and the successor (which he would have helped appoint) was Leeanne Dempster!

[Since452]

It's really difficult to chose. Winning the "we tried really hard" trophy up there too.

Disappointed that Hearts players "high-fiving" supporters when they were beating 9 man ICT in injury time and somehow got beat in the League Cup semi isn't listed.

Had forgotten all about that semifinal. What a great watch. ICT had 10 men for most of it, and 9 for all of extra time. And Hearts still lost. Talk about Hearts-ing it. And with Wonga on their shirts too!

[FilipinoHibs]

The massive new stadium and champions league football. Now they are scraping draws with Arbroath and getting pumped by Highland League teams.

[mal]

Vlad's statements. Sponsored by Wonga. What the beautiful people are wearing...

The list is endless.

[Bostonhibby]

I still like them having a castle view lounge that is deficient to the tune of one complete castle view, alfresco press area, no actual directors box, the excitement generated by the escalator to nowhere and their discovery of the potato based food product known as chips and the fanfare that followed.

Allisbarry getting the decimal point in the wrong place when he was quoting the many millions that were kicking about just before their administration.

The plum kicking the Russian hat which was actually a cossack hat that proved to be the extent of their protest to Romanov destroying their club.

Their never ending share issue on the journey to fan ownership.

Then there's Brora against big spending Hearts.

I could go on.

I wish I could choose all of them, but last night was the perfect icing on the cake

[LancsHibs]

Still has to be 0-7.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Opened the BBC Sports app this morning, usually never a Scottish story one the front page but there was Brora's victory over them. for that alone I voted for the result last night.

[Diclonius]

Never going to be anything other than 2-2. My favourite game outside the cup final.
