Killie away to Barry Ferguson's Kelty Hearts should be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scratchy Posted August 6 The Teacake beats the Caramel Wafer, Shirley.... Disnae outweigh it though. I wonder why, specifically, The Wafer' is the sponsor? I'm probably the only one mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Treasurer Posted August 6 Still think this would be better if they followed the EFL Cup model and played group games at this stage. It would benefit the U21 players having more games and benefit some of the smaller clubs by getting extra gate revenue when they played the bigger clubs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maroon Sailor Posted August 6 Another one for the teacake Albion Rovers used to be sponsored by Tunnocks. Knew a trialist for them and I think he made the most of the teacakes and caramel wafers. Suffice to say the pudding never got taken on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Footballfirst Posted August 6 Hearts U18s lost 1-4 to Everton earlier today. Going by the very young Hearts side (mainly 2003/2004s) there will be a number of the slightly older ones at least on the bench tonight. "Max" actually captained the side, which must be a bit of a first with a trialist as captain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saint Jambo Posted August 6 Is Hickey available for this one or is it some stupid rule where he is suspended from the game but it doesn't count towards serving his suspension? Just had a look at the rules. I thought it had become an U21 competition, but bizarrely the age restriction for colt teams is players "who had not attained the age of 20 years on 31 December of the year before the year in which the relevant Season commences", along with a max of two overage players. So for example Kelby Mason who doesn't turn 21 until October is classed as an overage player. Also worth remembering players out on loan can play. I think this means players available (excluding over age) are: - GoalKeepers: Stones - Defenders: Hickey, Burns, Baur, Petkov, Hamilton, Sandison - Midfielders: Irving, Cochrane, McDonald, Smith, Ritchie (Morrison when back from injury) - Forwards: Keena, Henderson Plus all the academy players. Unlikely Irving will play given he played on Sunday. I guess a similar logic applies to Hickey even if his suspension doesn't apply. Sensible players to consider for the two overage spots might include one of the goalies, Brandon, Bozanic, Moore, Wigthon, Zanatta, Currie (if fit, lost track of his injuries).

Big Moysey Posted August 13 Off to Linlithgow tonight to see how the boys do. Hopefully similar to last week's result. Hamilton, Burns, Henderson, Keena and McDonald on reflection were best last week but hope Cochrane and Smith get going this time too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linlithgow, however, is a licensed member of the SFA so that may be the difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
