Vale of Leithen v Hibs XI - Tonight

[Boris]

A fairly strong Hibs XI won 3-1 aagainst Vale of Leithen tonight. Team included Brown in goal, Thicot, Rankin, Murray, Galbraith & a trialist at cenre-forward. A comical mix-up between Thicot & Brown gifted vale the lead from an own goal but Lee Currie equalised from the penalty spot just before the break. Two goals from one of the young subs - Crawford I think - won it for Hibs in 2nd half.

Excellent pies & a nice wee programme but could have done without the monsoon in the closing minutes!

Any idea who he was?

[CallumLaidlaw]

the trialist any good?

the trialist any good?
Anybody any idea who he was? Just a young guy maybe, a prospect perhaps?

[Boris]

Any idea who he was?

Nope. Tried to suss it out but bench giving nothing away - fair enough! He got subbed after about 70 minutes.

Ok mate, What kind of striker did he look? Quik and nimble or tall and gangley :greengrin, And how did he play?.

[Boris]

the trialist any good?

Didn't do a lot but then Hibs created very little in the first half & he was subbed well before the end. Came close with a header 1st half & had couple nice lay-offs but couldn't see anything that would say "sign me".

One of the young subs said he was Slovenian. Didn't look good enough.

Tapping into the Slovenian market :hmmm:

Dont think they get much in the way of wages.

As for the trialists performance tonight, he did nothing outstanding but then again, nothing wrong, I think the verdict was 'not-proven'.

(He was not that young, I would have said early twenties)

Obviously not one of the players from Maribor then that gave us a good humping over the two legs!!!

When you get to my age that is young :greengrin. Maybe he'll get another run out in the game at Duns on Thursday although my understanding is that that team will most likely be the Hibs U19 side.

Trialist didnt look particularly special.

Brown did a shocker at Thicot's pass back - under no pressure, total lack of concentration

Well he's a Hibs goalie so what else would you expect.

did he have bright yellow boots on and were his team mates calling him pigeon? if so it would be crawford, he scored the 4th goal on saturday at pennypit.

Danny Handling scored the two second half goals. Good report on the Vale of Leithen web site:thumbsup:

He must be good - Slovenia played in the World Cup. :greengrin

I thought Gordon Marshall had left Hibs?

Can't recall if he had yellow boots on or not but wee Mick McGhee tells me it was indeed Danny Handling that got the 2 goals in the 2nd half. I haven't seen many U19 games over the last year so wasn't sure who had got the goals!

[Cabbage Lad]

I actually played in the game and being a massive Hibee was delighted when I saw who we would be playing against.

Best player for me was Lewis Horner. Always had time on the ball, nothing seemed to faze him. For 60 minutes we competed and Hibs hardly had a shot of note on target.

Sair ankle the day though. Rankin left the boot in on a 50 50 with me. Who says he couldnae tackle !!!!

Agree with you re Lewis Horner. Looks a player & obviously the staff at Hibs think so too going by his runouts in pre-season. Agree too that Vale competed well until well into the second half when maybe full-time training took over & if you'd scored the "sitter" just after Hibs went 2-1 up it might have been a different result. Very enjoyable, competitive game & if Vale put the same effort & commitment into games in the EOS Premier League this season you'll do okay. As for Rankin, I can only say that he was the victim of a few heavy tackles himself so maybe just getting his retaliation in first with yourself!!!

I Know. No sure if i should be proud or embarrassed!!! ha ha!!

To be fair to the Hibs boys. All were very complimentary to us as was Yogi and the rest of the coaching staff.
