Has Jordan Forster any chance of getting a run?

[Billy Whizz]

Has Jordan Forster any chance of getting a run?

Wouldn't surprise me

[JimBHibees]

Wouldn't surprise me

Would be good if he could get back to playing soon given the important games coming up especially over Crimbo and New Year.

Considering the calendar signing is on tonight then I doubt any first team players will be involved

I think you'll be surprised😜

[offshorehibby]

I take it the ground is right behind the leisure center. It's either that or i'll be stuck with I'm a celeb.

Yeah, park in the car park and the stadium is right behind centre

[Jamesie]

1.5 with William Hill for the win.

[SteveHFC]

Will Sandberg play tonight?

[Pretty Boy]

Going to head down tonight, training with Spartans 20s later on anyway.

1st time I'll have seen the development team this season and looking forward to it.

[oconnors_strip]

Will Sandberg play tonight?


Maybe, give him a chance to show us what he can do in a competitive game

[andrew70]

Am in town just now. What's the best bus to get to and from princes street area and where will I get off? I need to get back to Waverley to catch a train back to Dunbar straight after the game. I usually drive and have no idea about buses in town.

27 or 23 from Hanover Street. Get off just past the Morrisons on Ferry Road and it's a 2/3 minute walk from there.

Perfect thanks mate :thumbsup:

[Pretty Boy]

In fact scratch the 23, it turns away towards Trinity. Just the 27 from Hanover Street.

I've made a good amount backing the overs goals markets on them.

[Billy Whizz]

No pies on sale at the game tonight, seemingly Hibs forgot to order them, not happy!

[Pretty Boy]

Thistle in a rather fetching luminous pink and black number.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Do you have to pay to get in?

[Pretty Boy]

Do you have to pay to get in?

Donation. Suggest a fiver.

Good start by Hibs. Thistle keeper had good saves from Allan and Sinclair.

Aye, that's a good idea. Provide us with some updates if your hands don't freeze :-D

[TowerHibs]

got a wee wedge on us at 4/6

[Pretty Boy]

1-0 Hibs. Stanton. Great strike.

[Pretty Boy]

Cue shout from some weedgie behind me about 'making a mockery of youth development'.

[Hibby Bairn]

Just nip around to Morrisons.

[Pretty Boy]

1-1. Great volley after a cross by the Thistle number 2 who looks a player.

All Hibs but guilty of trying to walk it in at times.

[Hibernia&Alba]

How many supporters do you reckon are there, PB?

[Pretty Boy]

How many supporters do you reckon are there, PB?

150-200 maybe.

[oconnors_strip]

How many supporters do you reckon are there, PB?

They normally announce attendance at full time, think the cold weather will have put some people off coming

Been a good first half

Where you sitting about? Does that dafty no realise how young our team is?

[HTD1875]

The Rangers 1-6 Lesser greens. Good to see the future of the Huns still lies with the pish they have now.

Was just a few rows in front of you but moved to stand behind the goals now.

2-1 Hibs. Stanton again.

What position is he playing in midfield PB?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Man United 1-1 Stoke

Wrong thread. Apologies :-D

[Pretty Boy]

What position is he playing in midfield PB?

Where Handling plays in the 1st team.

Harris quite involved on the right of the diamond as well. Seems a lot more keen to get involved at this level.

Played most of his younger football in midfield rather than out wide

[HTD1875]

How many arrests?

Held behind closed doors of course.

[Iggy Pope]

Has Dougan not offered him outside yet? :greengrin

[Hibernia&Alba]

Good job with that score!

That will be next week at falkirk!

[Stuarty27]

How is the boy Martin playing?

[Billy Whizz]

3-1, good finish by Kennedy

Ah, yes. :greengrin

Who bets on development games?

Me. And quite successfully with the hibs u20s actually. Hence asking the team news question...took a leap of faith, with no news. The 2.0 for -1.0 Asian handicap lookin pretty sweet now.

I have also backed them tonight in a double with ICT, and so far its looking good. :agree:

Why wouldn't you back a team, at decent odds, that are taking 6s n 7s off teams...just thot ict were a wee bit too skinny. Took our cup opponents the smokeys but looks like man utd up to their old tricks...good luck, hope yogi don't sell the jerseys!

:agree: The development team are scoring for fun, and seem to win most weeks. I dont think the bookies price these games up properly either, and there does appear decent value with them. :thumbsup:

[Jonnyboy]

4-1 Stanton hat-trick

Surely has to start on Saturday, especially if Craig's hamstring rules him out :agree:

I hope so!! Stubbs was there for second half so has seen how hard Sam has worked

[Pretty Boy]

Really enjoyed that.

Hibs played very well and looked to knock the ball about, very reluctant to go long which was good to see. Lewis Allan looks a player and was unlucky not to get a couple.

Partick number 2 was a great wee player to watch and is only 17. Apparently he was at Hibs but his contract offer was withdrawn when we were relegated.

Wasn't Andy Black was it?

[fishybeaver]

Though Stanton and Harris looked a cut above the rest,1st time I have seen the U20 quite a few decent prospects in there

[Pretty Boy]

Wasn't Andy Black was it?

Nope.

Matthew McInally I think his name was.

[bingo70]

What's his best position?

That's been my problem with Stanton in the first team. Doesn't seem to have the physical presence to play centre mid, doesn't have the pace to play on the wing and I can't remember him impressing playing behind forwards.

That said he's got some lovely touches and shows ability in flashes, I've just no idea where I'd play him?

[Jonnyboy]

Nope.

Matthew McInally I think his name was.

:aok:

[steviehibsleith]

Wasn't Andy Black was it?

According to Thistle official website Number two tonight was Mathew Mcinally

[Carheenlea]

Wasn't Andy Black was it?

I`m sure Andy Black signed for Dundee?

[Jonnyboy]

I`m sure Andy Black signed for Dundee?

Could be right. I'm banking on o'connors strip providing a definitive answer :greengrin

[Twiglet]

Wasn't Andy Black was it?

Can't remember who it is, but Andy Black's at the team we beat 7-0 the other week. Dundee Utd?
You'd think I'd know considering I was at that game too. Doh!

[Billy Whizz]

Surely has to start on Saturday, especially if Craig's hamstring rules him out :agree:

I can't remember the last time he started for the 1st team, seems to get 10/20 mins at most, late in the game. He might come in for Malinga though at the weekend

[Billy Whizz]

Could be right. I'm banking on o'connors strip providing a definitive answer :greengrin

Andy black signed for Dundee in the summer and played against us a couple of weeks ago, he was on the bench for them on Saturday against Aberdeen in the cup

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Stanton is on fire at the moment. Look forward to him hopefully transferring that to the first team soon

[Jonnyboy]

Cheers N. Strangely, Andy doesn't seem to be listed on their official site :confused:

[Paloschi]

Delighted for Sammy Stanton, he is knocking on the door of the first team but I would like to see the current midfield kept on as they are doing superb.

Glad to hear Harris had a good game. The boy is a special player, just needs his confidence back and needs to play on the left hand side. His best games for Hibs were there.

[Leith_Hibee]

Kennedy strolled through the game. There were also a couple of Everton scouts at the game, including Brian Flynn (ex Wales gaffer).

[KdyHby]

Brian Flynn (ex Wales gaffer).

Gave me one of my most memorable footballing moments, Old Trafford. 1981, he scored the only goal of the match in front of me and 14k Leeds fans:
