Only if they are born after 1st Jan 2001😄

Do you know if it’ll be indoors or outdoors Billy? Clothing choices will vary depending on where!! Cheers.

It’s 100% indoors Alan

[AlanRuff]

Great, thanks.

[Billy Whizz]

Great, thanks.

But as I said, you can’t get into a seat until 7pm
Tickets will be issued, but it’s just to control crowd numbers

I have heard nothing but outstanding reviews about Furness who has been promoted to the 18's , Player in the making right there

I've heard similar about Shanley.

[HibbyAndy]

What position does he play Andy ?

Centre mid but he can play a few positions , I believe he is playing right wing back tonight

Josh O'Connor only 14.

[Jones28]

Josh O'Connor only 14.

I saw him play a few times for the 13's last year - has he pushed on? He was on a pre season tour in Ireland with the 16's in the summer I think.

[Billy Whizz]

Fairley off injured and wilson on

[Danderhall Hibs]

Josh O'Connor only 14.

Is it Garry’s laddie?

Hibs have 4,

Explains their squad size.

[The_Horde]

Is it Garry’s laddie?

Yep.

[Billy Whizz]

1-0 Hibs, Shanley penalty
O’Connor rounds goalie and gets brought down
Almost on half time

[calumhibee1]

Garry O'Connor's son plays for Hibs? and is playing under 20s at 14?!

[Billy Whizz]

2-0 Hibs, great ball in and Weir headers home. Great finish

[scoopyboy]

Garry O'Connor's son plays for Hibs? and is playing under 20s at 14?!

Nearly right.

Josh is Garry's laddie, he has not long turned 14 and is playing for Hibs under 18s.

Age limit lowered in cup this season.

[Billy Whizz]

Garry O'Connor's son plays for Hibs? and is playing under 20s at 14?!

It’s 18’s this season, born after Jan 2001

[calumhibee1]

Ah ok. Still very impressive, must be highly thought of. :aok:

[silverhibee]

Nearly right.

Josh is Garry's laddie, he has not long turned 14 and is playing for Hibs under 18s.

He is just like his dad at that age, will only get better.

[monktonharp]

2-0 Hibs, great ball in and Weir headers home. Great finish looks like a great start too:greengrin. well done to the Young team. is O'Connor's laddie as big as his Da? think all the O'Connors were fed by a shovel:greengrin

[DaveF]

He is just like his dad at that age, will only get better.

Can he be kept away from ferrari motors in that case :-)

[monktonharp]

Can he be kept away from ferrari motors in that case :-) gie the laddie a chance! he'll need to learn on souped -up Subarus' first. :wink:

[scoopyboy]

Was it a Granton team that Garry and Derek play for at 14yo?

[Billy Whizz]

Hearts score from a penalty
2-1 with almost 20 mins to go

[monktonharp]

Was it a Granton team that Garry and Derek play for at 14yo?was it not Hutchie Vale? they used to produce a lot of top quality players and Hibs seemed to have first dibs on them IIRC.

Another penalty to Hearts, and Cantley saves it
Still 2-1 Hibs

I don't ever get to see the young team but there's quite a few names I recognise in that starting line up. Would be especially interested in hearing how Kane O'Conner, Yeats, Shanley and Gallantes got on. And mini Garry :greengrin

[silverhibee]

They were playing as young lads at Pilton BC at the age of 10 I think, they were unstoppable as a front pairing at Granton BC.

Donald Park seen the chemistry they had as young lads and it seemed that after Granton they would move on to Hutchie Vale, but Gaz went to another youth team, but DP was adamant they would eventually sing for Hibs and they did, Martin Ferguson scouted both of them.

Is it no ft yet Billy?

[berwickhibee]

Well done the young guns.💚💚💚

Great result for the Hibs boys. Keekback on meltdown!:greengrin

Did GO not go to Salvy ?

[Iggy Pope]

Excellent result Billy and asxever thanks for the updates.
If you see Big Mo in passing I’m after my Development programmes but he’s no’ answering his text....!

[The 90+2]

was it not Hutchie Vale? they used to produce a lot of top quality players and Hibs seemed to have first dibs on them IIRC.

No they both played at Granton Sports, I was in the same team 😄

I remember when the wee man was a baby, Lisa brought him to Dunfermline and sat in the away end with him. Sure we won 4 nil sunny as anything and fletch scored two as a sub.

[BILLYHIBS]

Natural order!

[The 90+2]

Did GO not go to Salvy ?

Yeah.

That’s Hibs through to last 8

Ally & John had a great team at Granton, some really good players who could have made a career out of football, the goalie for one.

Take it Lennon wasn't there what with him being ill Billy.

[monktonharp]

well done the young guns and a special mention for the goalie! keeps my bro-in-law and his wife away from ma hoose, until at least the 30th:greengrin

[brog]

Well done boys! Thanks for the cheer up!

[Billy Whizz]

He wasn’t at the game Silver, few 1st team players were, great to see them at the game
Bit of an eye opener for me at this level, as I don’t get to see this age group too often. We’ve got some highly technical players, who’ll gain great confidence with this win, against a bigger and full time team

A few outstanding performancers tonight, but I always think it’s unfair to single out players at this level. Just let them continue to play and develop

Also great to see my team win again. Same tomorrow and most people on here will be happy too!

[oneone73]

Quite a few not, I'd bet.

Cheers Billy, sounds promising from you, like to hear that some of the 1st team players were there watching, big Gaz also there watching his lad but it will be good boost for the young lads to see folk like that watching them, I know Deek has been at a few games as well but couldn't make it tonight, give a wee feel of Hibs when the young lads see players like that. Cheers.

[Pretty Boy]

Excellent. Beating Hearts at any level gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

How many of these young lads can we genuinely expect to see breaking though over the next few years?

I know pretty much nothing about any of them so would be interesting to know who to look out for and why.

[The 90+2]

Ally & John had a great team at Granton, some really good players who could have made a career out of football, the goalie for one.

I thought Deano was better than Deeks 😂 I came with him from inch though.

[The 90+2]

I definitely helped them in their progression. I went to Salvy too tho with Gaz. Hibs didnae want me and ended up at Livi. (All downhill after that)

[Pagan Hibernia]

Is this seriously not deemed worthy of a single mention on the club’s official twitter account?

[HibeeHibernian4]

I thought this too. Especially given the recent run, you'd think they might want to give us something to cheer about.

[BILLYHIBS]

The fact Garry OConnors laddie played at 14 years old walked round their keeper and got pulled down for the penalty is an incredible achievement.

He must be a chip off the old block!

GGTTH. First time my spirits have been up for weeks. Well done boys.

[Famous Fiver]

Hearts got two penalties? I thought there was an inbuilt grudge against them throughout refereeing circles.

Has Mr Levein commented yet?
