St Mirren Defeat Thread (featuring Heart of Midlothian)

After we beat you 5-2 in November, I really didn't expect St Mirren to beat us 1-0 in Paisley.

That's the problem in seeing the game in isolation, we had actually been playing quite well, albeit the results weren't quite matching the effort. We'd lost games to Hibs (a) and Celtic (h) but by slim margins (1 and 2 goals respectively) in the run up. The game against you lot, and Motherwell a few weeks later, were outliers where we pretty much went missing on the pitch.

How else would you describe your season?  

 

Relegated.

 

Laughing stock.

 

Cheerieo, shabby c***s.

Ok, lets try this one more time...

Claiming they would survive with 8 games to go is almost as good as claiming they would win the League being 3 points clear going into the last game of the season.
Hearts can't even win from a winning position. Doon ye go.

...... which is a particular embarrassment in 1985-86 given that it was two points for a win that season. How did they manage to blow that?

In 1964/65 they blew it by losing on the last day 2-0 at home to Kilmarnock. Tied on the same points, they lost on goal average (goals for divided by goals against) by 0.08 of a goal. 

Such was the shellshock they suffered, they campaigned for GA to be replaced by goal difference which, had it applied in 64/65 would have seen them become champions.

GD eventually was adopted by the SFL in the early 70s and remains to this day. It of course applied to the 85/86 season when Celtic and Hearts finished level on points and Celtic had a better GD.

But, did you know, had GA still applied in the 1985/86 season, Hearts would have been champions by 0.025 of a goal?

Yup, it featured on a Nick Hancock video of various sporting losers many years ago. Those are particularly fine examples. One should also mention them spectacularly bottling successive cup semi finals in 86/87 and 87/88.

Let us not forget had they beat Celtic on the last day of the 58-59 season they would have won the league on goal average. They did their 'soon to become usual' bottle job and lost 2-1.

Once is bad luck, twice is careless but to do it a third time is a case of "hell mend ye".
