U20's Thread

[seann coirthe]

Popcorn teeth sighted at Glebe Park. Prick.

 

Hibs youth play a pretty brutal style of football but they do have a couple of good players. Their number 15 caused us a lot of problems. The game became very scrappy towards the end with us smashing the ball aimlessly up the pitch. Keeper was panicking any time the ball was near his area, although he did pull off a couple of good stops.

 

Props to Dean Campbell for bringing a bit of composure to the side. Good off the ball movement and decent range of passing. Can certainly see why McInnes rates him so.

 

Overall a deserved win. Nae pies being sold though so that was a bit shit.

 

EDIT: Oh aye and the linesman was a tube. Think it was Seb Ross who won the ball fairly 2 feet in front of him and he agreed with the refs decision to award a free kick to Hibs. All the cunt did was run up and down the line shouting "keep it clean" and other pish.

 

"Arms Down... Don't dive in Lads. " noisy fucker of a linesman.

 

Was a good game to watch and brilliant win for the young Reds. Popcorn teeth Lording it up in the directors box

 

Thought Deano's yellow was a bit harsh but then again there had been a few tasty challenges going in previously and a couple

of nasty head knocks prior to that and maybe the ref thought he had better show willing .

Swanson was definitely on his way down and gave a little yelp before any contact being made, but he did lunge in a bit and probably just about deserved.

 

The linesman was doing my wick in. Kept telling Hibs players they were offside and to give themselves a couple of yards. It's not your job to tell them. The worst decision of the night was from the ref though, blowing for a free kick against Toby Wells from 40 yards away, saying he had better view of the incident than the linesman who was 5 yards from it and didn't even consider flagging. baffling.

 

On Swanson, and the other first team regular Fontaine. Can't see them threatening the Hibs first team anytime soon. Dreadful. Fontaine in particular who was given a torrid time by Dangana and McLennan before being hooked at half time.

I've never really understood the fuss with Swanson. Tidy enough player with some tricks in his locker, but that's about it.

He should be an absolute stand out at that level. He wasn't.

Both trialists were youngsters apparently so hardly any beans to spill

Good to see Scott McKenna do so well for Scotland u21s last night. I feared he might be let go over the summer through no fault of his own.A regular first team place is there for him to achieve

It used to be, then it became too mainstream.......

Cheers mate. It's obvious from the picture he was going to go far.

The 20's have an away tie against Dundee in Montrose on Tuesday night, closer to Aberdeen than all their home games to date which have been played in Brechin.

[The Cockney Don]

^^

6pm kick-off.

[Donnet]

Archie Mair, Dean Campbell and Ethan Ross in the Scotland U17 squad for matches in a few weeks.

 

Terry Taylor who left us to go to Wolves is also in the squad.

Terry has been selected for the Wales squad also. Dilemma.....

Huge surprise that Harry Cochrane, who was on the bench for hearts at Murrayfield on Saturday hasn't returned to the squad.

Good news about Dean, Ethan and Archie @@ollie1903. Do you think Terry will stick with Scotland or go back to being Welsh - no doubt his old man GT will have a big say in things. Hope the lad hasn't any grandparents born in England or Ireland or the lad will be even more conflicted as to what his footballing nationality is

Not sure what he'll do. I'd like to think he'd chose to play for Scotland
