Anyone know if this boy is local? I went to school with good Hibby Blaney’s and I also recall that one of their auld fellah’s was Brian Blaney, a Southern Branch Hibs Club stalwart way back that some might remember.....be nice to think there’s a connection.Quote:

Match report on Dundee Utd site, doesn’t mention any Hibs players
Pity Hibs weren’t able to put a report out!
from our own training ground!Quote:

Sounds like another way to take the elite clubs further ahead.Quote:

Saw on SFA website, Hibs under 18’s had a 2-2 draw with Celtic last night. Was a home game for Hibs, so presume it was at the training ground
So all three teams were in action last night at pretty much the same time but with mixed fortunes (men won 2-1, women lost 2-1 and u18s drew).Quote:

Does anybody know where Hibernian in the community play their matches? Is it at East Mains?
My boys teams fixtures have just been released and it looks like we’ll be playing them, just wondering if I’ll get a wee visit down there without having to hide in the bushes for a change.
What age Bingo?Quote:

decent piece today about Graeme Mathie and the prospects for Hibs kids
Good read that, encouraging that the players having 'trials' wasn't necessarily part of a strategy to sell them.Quote:

Parents are not allowed to watch these games yet under the current Covid restrictionsQuote:

As others have rightly said, 1 parent is now allowed to watch the games as of 26th April. This is official guidance from the SFA.Quote:

Probably not the greatest story I’ve ever told but was exciting for me at the time seeing someone I’d seen on the tele.
He's an 2008 Bingo - so 13..... He has signed Pro youth forms. Not something im a fan of but if we can get better pies.....Quote:

But yes, if he can get the pies sorted then we should really be looking at a long term contract for his boy.
Thats the same issue with all kids tbh. Very hard for parents to turn down. I'd just rather hibs did a link up with the clubs to get first dibs on them at 15/16 when in my view they are mature enough to deal with it. But fear of missing out stops that happening.Quote:

Young guns seem to be doing well
Looking forward to hopefully seeing some of them in action next season
Parents have to be quite strong willed, there are loads of kids out there who are playing at a pro club then get papped out when they are a little older and are lost to football completely. Especially in Edinburgh there are enough 'community' clubs for kids to play at a decent level then look to get picked up when they are 15/16.Quote:

Hibs u18s won 5-3 against Killie on Friday night. Goals from Connor Young (2) Josh Currie, Innes Lawson and Jayden Fairly.
Connor Young now has 9 goals to his name this season.

Forgetting it’s Hearts for a second probably encouraging for Scottish football that our young teams are making waves down south (if that’s true of course)
Bingo, in my many years of watching Development football, they have always had ridiculously good players, yet none of them seem to make itQuote:

For info, what age group, as my good friend is a Rangers scout, so I can check it out for you😀
I honestly don’t know.Quote:

Thanks, but that age is far too young to make any predictionsQuote:

4-2 lossQuote:

it depends what City team they were playing, a Hutchie team went down a couple of years ago and won quite comfortably.Quote:
