Dunbar United on Tuesday

[KeithWright9]

I see we're playing Dunbar again with our development side heading there on Tuesday, third year in a row? Seems to be an annual fixture now.

There facilities are incredible and put Edinburgh City's to shame. How have they just sprung up from nowhere to regularly attract crowds of 500+ ???

I was looking at the fixture and they seem to have a good sized new stand too.

They're doing a really good job of getting local people in to watch them. I know a Hearts fan who has given up his season ticket to get one with Dunbar and has started going home and away.

I think they'll rise up the leagues as Dunbar itself is growing every day with new houses.

I also know a Jambo who’s done the same. Any excuse not to have to watch Hearts though I suppose 😂

[SaulGoodman]

They’re a brilliant club in a great area, great little stadium and being able to get a pint in Hallhill is a bonus.

My laddie plays for the colts team in Dunbar and they’re regularly invited to be mascots/ball boys .

They were invited along to be mascots for the last game of the season when Dunbar won the league and they were all on the pitch with the players as they celebrated and lifted the trophy. A proper community club, it’s an experience you won’t really get, understandably, following Premiership teams.

Edit: Just to add on to that, the colts team had their annual festival a couple weeks back and Martin Boyle came down to hand out the medals, he was fantastic and stayed way longer than he had to, taking photos and signing everything for anyone that wanted it.

Seems to be a really good setup out there, just a shame they can't seem to get refs to come out to Dunbar for their games!

Does Boyler not have a connection with Dunbar Utd. Dunbar Haddington and Tranent all have a bigger population than Dingwall so who knows with money invested we might see them all in the senior leagues.

Just heard this might not be going ahead if the weather continues much longer, pitch is being drenched very quickly.

The rain is bouncing off the pavement in Dunbar right now, it’s to ease off by kick off but the pitch might not be playable.

[DaveF]

If the rain is going west to east then my part of West Lothian has just been hammered which might spare Dunbar that particular cloud.

[Not In The Know]

It will be fine, the rains off and Dunbar have a brilliant grass surface.

[wookie70]

Forecast between 6-8 is for very heavy rain, much heavier than the rest of the day. I was going to head down but having second thoughts

Yes, an argument that has been used many times. However, whilst Ross County are based in Dingwall the team have supporters across the whole of Ross & Cromarty (population of circa 50,000) and beyond. Supporters travel from many of the Highland towns to Dingwall to watch the team.

With an average home attendance of circa 4,400 (capacity 6,500), I think Ross County are doing pretty well to attract the local support, topped up by the large support from the Old Firm, the Edinburgh teams and Aberdeen.

Is Jacob Blaney injured. I noticed he missed the final few games of last season while on loan and hasn’t been involved in either of our 2 preseason games so far this season?

Went out on loan again.

Went out on loan again.

Who to? I haven’t seen that announced anywhere.

[BlackSheep]

Anyone know who the trialist is….? Is it a Dev team trialist or potentially a first team trialist?

[HIBS NUTS]

Development team definitely need blaney, we have been poor at defending corners and free kicks.
Terrible missed penalty by TAVARES, but apart from that he has roasted the full back. 🙄

Pretty harsh on Tavares that he doesn’t even get in the squad for Edinburgh City and is made to play with Dev team. I imagine we must be looking to cut our losses there

Agreed, he’s never going to improve playing against Dunbar.

Edinburgh he’d at least adapt to the physicality.

No idea mate, was going by Pat McPartlins tweet so assume he knows

Don’t think Dan Mackay was playing was he? And Tavares missed a pen so maybe some confusion.

[LewysGot2]

A Hibs goal was chalked off 2nd half but definitely ended 2-2

Defo 2-2. Dunbars twitter confirms the scoreline and scorers.

Finished 2-2. Dunbar better than last time I saw them. Tavares should have had a couple tonight

[Tambo]

How did Jair play?

I really don't think we seen enough of him last season and don't think he was as bad as some people.made out. He looked in the opener Vs St Johnstone, all though he did miss a very good opportunity.

I didn't really get to watch him in the few games he had at home due to work, he looked not bad Vs Raith in the world cup creak Friday if I'm not mistaken.

Not being involved one week and then on the bench the next couldn't have helped his confidence and then there was reports of playing really well in development games and still not getting any minutes.

I would be happy with a Loan move until January with someone in the top flight, either way I just wish and hope Johnson will decide his future.

Had some nice bits of skills but doesn't do it enough. Should be burning it up at that level

He was nowhere near as bad as some make out.

You could name about 10 Hibs players that had worse performances than he did last season.

Fish is the prime example and he’s a guy that’s more used to that style.

Jair needed time to adapt so at least needed a decent run. Getting chucked in the last 10 minutes or so every 8 games will never end great.

Against St Johnstone he was through on goal and wrongly flagged offside, another one through, some well to cut back and then shot over. Third he was through over the top and cut it back to Youan. All came from runs in behind was picked out by Cabraja and Newell iirc.

He again came on as a sub and a direct run in behind the defence should have won us a penalty but for VAR.

He does look a bit naive at times, but it’s all stuff he would learn quickly if playing regularly.

He looked alright. Didn’t stand out though. Looks like he could do with going out on loan and getting regular games.

[belhavenbill]

Enjoyable game- skilful youngsters against more experienced and more physically developed opponents. I was impressed by Oscar McIntyre, Malik zain, Harry Wright and Rory Whittaker. Tavares was the most skilful player on show and took his goal well but he is having to learn how to be a team player. There is a footballer in there but whether the Scottish game is for him I’m not sure. Boruc is big and shouts a lot but had a couple of good saves. Impressed by the bearded centre half. Maybe he could go full time.

And it was 2-2 and no Dan Mackay was not present. Probably in Marbella.

Thought Jair played well, Zaid was a standout, nice busy wee player.

I thought McGregor was fully retired as in not even playing for the dev team anymore?

[Brooster]

Tavares played ok, too selfish for me, should've squared it near the end for a certain goal. His penalty was horrendous, shuffling and dancing then blasted it wide.

Malik and McIntyre played very well. Was a very good game, played like a league game actually.

The trialists were McGregor and a couple of 15 yo's who are not on pro contracts yet.

[Hibs3-2]

Great wee setup down there - enjoyed the night. Pint before the game next to the turnstile was an added bonus

Tavares was good - still a bit raw and could do with going out on loan

Alfie Smith really impressed me when he came on.

Big no.22 trialist CB for us looked like he could be ready to step up to the first team 😉

[jingler1954]

Malic Zain was the standout for me.

[KeithWright9]

Good game also saw Martin Boyle getting some selfies with fans. Think the first team fly out on Thursday as he said to some he is away on Thursday morning. Unbelievable setup for that level of football puts a lot of clubs at lower levels to shame, their young striker (7) looked impressive as did their left back (3) and centre half (4). Tavarez was roasting everyone but limited end product on offer from a young Hibs side tonight.

The second goal scorer Hendrie was an ex Hibby player at the same time as Sam Stanton. Their keeper Brennan , and midfielders Handling and Neave are both ex Hibs dev side too.
