SPFL Development League Derby

[muthillhibee]

Anyone going to the Wee Derby on Thursday afternoon? Wasnt overly thrilled about it being on a Thursday afternoon but now realised it was during the holiday week.

Should be a good game if the previous fixture is anything to go by

[ancient hibee]

Where is it?

[muthillhibee]

Newtongrange 2pm

[ancient hibee]

Newtongrange 2pm

Thank you.

[3pm]

Nice one. Will make that.

[SmashinGlass]

Is this at Newtongrange Star's ground?

[Billy Whizz]

Is this at Newtongrange Star's ground?

Sure is. Expect to be young Hibs and Hearts teams, unlike the last time, when Hearts played a stack of 1st team players

Great stuff. Think I'll bring the young lad along, given he's on his school holidays

Should be a good crowd because of the holidays.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I'm hoping to go along with my oldest. Any idea how much it is to get in?

£3/£1 I believe

[Hibeesmad]

Anyone know what buses you can get up there from town?

The 29 but make sure it says gorebridge as the destination

[Hibeesmad]

[GGTTH07]

Looking forward to it. Any odds?

[Billy Whizz]

Perntreou, Stirling, Crane, Waugh, McGregor, Scott, Watson, Duthie, Allan, Hendry and Sinclair

[andrew70]

Perntreou, Stirling, Crane, Waugh, McGregor, Scott, Watson, Duthie, Allan, Hendry and Sinclair

Interesting that Dunsmore is missing from the squad altogether. Think Stubbs would have liked another goal or two last night to be able to give him some game time.

[Danderhall Hibs]

On way up just now.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Liam Craig carrying the cones.

[oconnors_strip]

Dunsmore training with first team this morning, martin suspended for today

[Danderhall Hibs]

Hibs look a lot bigger side than them.

[3pm]

0-1. Hertz.

[Danderhall Hibs]

1-0 hearts from a free kick.

Pish defending that led to the free kick.

[andrew70]

Anyone get a teamsheet, I've just arrived. What's their team?

[DaveF]

Hibs probably shading posession but not creating chances. Thought Perntreou just stood by as the free kick went in. It was a decent hit, nothing more, and pretty central as well.

:agree: he didn't move at all.

No team sheets mate

[Danderhall Hibs]

Duthie starting to look good.

[3pm]

1-1. Deserved.

[Danderhall Hibs]

1-1 header from a corner, number 5.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Good save from a Hibs free kick just before ht. 1-1 half time

[oconnors_strip]

Jordan Mcgregor our scorer with a scramble in the box from a duthie corner

[3pm]

Better side for me. Apart from the save Danderhall mentioned, the goalies haven't really been involved.

Stubbs is here.

[3pm]

Jordan Mcgregor our scorer with a scramble in the box from a duthie corner

Who are generally perceived as the rising stars? Duties got a run for the first team but who else?

[oconnors_strip]

We are playing young team today. From it the rising stars are Lewis Allan, conor duthie, Calum crane, jordan Mcgregor and jordan sinclair

[greenlex]

From the first half I think Crane has been excellent.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Allan is 9, Duthie is 8, mcgregor is 5.

What number is Sinclair and Crane?

Is the Number 4 the same age as the other lads or he is a year or two younger?

[Danderhall Hibs]

I said earlier their number 8 looked good (accidentally deleted that post) but I've changed my mind - he's went right off the boil.

[greenlex]

Our 7 looks decent too if s but slight but it's under 20s I suppose.

[DaveF]

Hibs bring on laddie who looks about 14.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Hibs the much better side this half. Duthie looks the part.

[3pm]

2-1. Lewis Allan. 20 to go.

[Danderhall Hibs]

2-1 Hibs - Allan I think. Another header from a corner

[greenlex]

2-1 the cabbage. Another corner headed back across to Lewis Allan who stooped to head low at the left

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Are the cheats not playing half their first team just to get the win?

[Danderhall Hibs]

Chance for hearts there from a cross - keeper rooted to the spot and McGee knocked it wide

[greenlex]

Sitter Hibs after good work down the left.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Nearly scored again - number 3 (think it's Crane) is excellent down the left hand side.

[Billy]

Hibs bring on laddie who looks about 14.

Jack Breen, 15 Dave

[greenlex]

Jack Breen, 15 Dave

He is a bit tenacious for his build Billy.👍

[Danderhall Hibs]

Save from the hearts keeper from Allan. Again good work from Crane.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Another save from a deflected Duthie free kick

[Danderhall Hibs]

Wasteful - we should have this well out of sight by now.

[greenlex]

Full timeonly one team gonna win that.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Full time - easy in the end

[SteveHFC]

http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8540/8647513641_860d9c007b_o.gif - Hopefully the first team do the same on sunday.

[oconnors_strip]

Allan is 9, Duthie is 8, mcgregor is 5.

What number is Sinclair and Crane?

Sinclair 11 and crane 3

[oconnors_strip]

Is the Number 4 the same age as the other lads or he is a year or two younger?

4 is kevin waugh who is just 17

[SteveHFC]

4 is kevin waugh who is just 17

Also a jambo :wink:

[brog]

Well done boys, always good to beat them at any level.

[3pm]

4 is kevin waugh who is just 17

I thought he looked decent. He was a bit slow with the tackle that led to the free kick for the goal but that can be sorted.

They played well. Crane looks a prospect.

I thought Crane was excellent.

Duthie looks good as well - overdoes it at times but that can be coached out of him. Thought th number 6 had a solid game as well.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Sinclair 11 and crane 3

Cheers. I thought Sinclair looked good but got subbed early. Crane as I've said was really good - our best player.

[DaveF]

Crane absolutely strolled the game and is looking like someone who should be knocking on the 1st team door. Once Hibs took control (after about 20mins) they dominated the game and knocked it about pretty well st times in that 2nd half.

I'm no scout, but the hearts no4 looked more suited to rugby than football. He just didn't seem overly mobile to me.

However, good to see 2 young teams competing hard against each other in a fair spirit.

They had a 14 year old playing centre back. He is my little brothers friend, about 6ft1/2, giant for his age, not a great player and not overly mobile, fast as anything over 100m though.

Sinclair has had a virus all week, surprised he played

Might have been him (Kyle was his name I think) and if he's only 14 then he's got plenty time to sort things out. He just looked a bit wooden and awkward compared to the others. Ad said, it was great to see so many young lads out there battling hard against each other.

This is the best they could muster with team lines

[Billy Whizz]

Really enjoyed the game. Hibs deserved winners, and like the big team last night, should have won more comfortably. Good to see a few younger boys getting a game, will be fed into next year's development team I hope.
Always think the refs at this level are good, you could hear the ref talking to the players throughout the game.
Nice day out, good win, and puts me into a good mood ahead of Sunday

Kyle Smith? That's him.

:thumbsup:

I forgot this was on today.

Given the choice between watching the fitba or painting the garden shed (green of course, ) I know which one I would have chosen.

[cabbageandribs1875]

well done the young dudes

[greenlex]

Kyle Smith? That's him.

If he's 14 I'm claiming to be 25.

[DaveF]

If he's 14 I'm claiming to be 25.

He certainly didn't look 14 and I reckon he'd have no problem getting a pint in George St!

[cameronw-hfc]

Was he very tall? Runs around like he had sledgehammers for feet. Kyle definitely started, and he is a centre back/defensive mid.

Aye, that's him alright. He's a hefty unit for a kid of 14!

[cameronw-hfc]

Just checked. Definitely was him! Huge guy, didnt believe he was 14 when my brother told me!

David Mckay was on the bench for hibs today, not sure what number but he is a cracking player. Good friend of mines and was captain of our school team that won the lot! Defensive mid or centre back also, only a lot more skillful.

Aaron Scott

Cheers - I liked the look of him as well. Hard worker, seemed to enjoy a tackle.

He's the lad we got from Hearts a few months ago. Getting better every week, and with no Scott Martin today, took responsibility in the midfield area

[Big_Franck]

The SPFL website has an article on their home page about our win in the wee derby. Problem is the eejits have used the title 'Allan on target as Hibs win wee derby' but have included a picture of Scott Allan.

Anyone with twitter want to tweet them to give them the heads up? Lewis deserves the praise for his goal.

[cameronw-hfc]

Must have turned 15 this year then.

I'd think we'll offer him a further contract on the performances I've seen this season.

His is deal is only until the summer just now.

He was brilliant today.

Changed now after I tweeted them. Thanks for the heads up
